Brulo Roselli of the Italian army who spoke on two different occasions in Richmond, tore the lid off the banquet of the Chicago Italian Chamber of Commerce Monday night with an Impassioned denunciation of the turn of affairs at the Paris peace conference.

(By Associated Press) BERLIN,. April 23. A student of history has discovered that the Igure eight has played a dramatic role in the lives of the Hohenzollerns. Two German emperors died in 1888. Two attempts were made on the kaiser's life in 1878. Frederick William IVs mental disease compelled him to make way for a regency in 1858. The year 1848 brought revolutions and a terrible humiliation for the king. Frederick the Great suffered his severest defeat In 1758 at Rochklrch. The thirty years war began in 1618 and brought unspeakable misery to the lands of the Hohenzollerns. The Great Elector died In 1888. Elector Johann Sigismund In 1608 and Elector Johann Georg in 1598. The crowning disaster to the Hohenzollerns came In 1918.

PLENTY OF WORK FOR SERVICE MEN, SAYS Y. M. C. A. SECRETARY

Cornell Hewston, part time secre

tary of the Y. M. C. A., in charge of employment service for returned soldiers, sailors and marines announced Wednesday that there was plenty

of work in Richmond and vicinity.

Hewson has worked out a plan

whereby he can place a service man

in work to which he is best suited and fitted to fill. He works on the vocational plan by first learning what the service man is qualified to do and has been doing in the past. Hewson

has secured the co-operation of heads

of Richmond industries in securing work for service men.

Only a few men have aplied at the

Y. M. C. A. for Hewson's services, but this he says is because of the

few hundred Wayne county men back,

the majority returned to their old Jobs

and went to work. HewBon said that any service man calling at the Y. M. C". A. any hour of the day could leave his application for work and he would locate a job for him.

(By Associated Press NEW YORK, April. 23. Horrors among 330,000 Armenian refugees on the border between Russian and Turkish Armenia, "unparalleled among the atrocities of the great war," were described In a cablegram from Dr. A. W. Halsey, commissioner of the Caucasus and of the American committee for Armenian and Syrian relief, made public today by the Presbyterian board of foreign missions. Dr. Halsey asserted that famine and disease were killing the refugees at the rate of one-seventh of the entire number each month, and added that typhus had begun to make its appearance among the sufferers. "On the streets of Alexandropol on the day of my arrival," said the message, "192 corpses were picked up. This Is far below the average per day. At EJchmaidzin, I looked for a time at a refugee burial. Seven bodies were thrown indiscriminately tito a square pit as carrion and covered with earth without any suggestion of care or pity. The workmen told me that the seven in this pit were the first load of 35 to be brought out of the village that morning. The cart had gone back for another load. "The refugees dare not go forward. They halt on the border land of their home. The Turk, the Kurd and the Tartar have taken possession of their land and will hold it by force of arms. A line almost like a battle line, from the Black sea region where is located the southwestern republic, with Kars as its capital to the Caspian sea where Baku is the capital of the Azerbaijan republic, together with a line of Turks, Kurds and Tartars between these two extremes, holds the refugees where they are. The total number is more than 30,000. To these must be added the local inhabitants also suffering indescribable hardships. "Should our government delay in reaching out a helping hand to these suffering people? The question of political expediency ought to be forgotten in the presence of this catastro. phe. These people look to America. Our government is under moral obligations to respond."

DRAFT EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM

Surveyor Will Take Census

Of Traffic in County A traffic census of Wayne county.

to determine just exactly how much traffic each county road bears, and of what class, will be taken by County

Surveyor Howard Horton some time

during the next summer.

Horton is going to send a man to

each of the main roads In the county who will spend several days at differ

ent times enumerating the passing traffic on each road. He will take the number of vehicles, whether automobiles or horse-drawn, whether pleasure or commercial vehicles, the direction of travel and whether they belong to tourists or local persons.

Besides being of value and interest

to the county commissioners and road men in mapping out the county program, Horton expects to use these reports to show the state highway commission the importance of the road3 entering and leaving Wayne county, when the commission decides which of the county roads to take over under the county unit law.

The National road, east and west,

the Newcastle pike, the Middleboro

pike, the Chester pike, the National

road south, the Boston pike and the Liberty pike probably will be includ

ed in the census.
