It recalled to them a night of peril through which they passed from Southampton or Winchester across the submarine and mine infested English channel. en route to Lo Havre or some other French portand the war. That night of fearful expectancy passed safely, they had marveled at the efficiency of the convoying craft which they knew had been off in the darkness somewhere, plowing through rolling breakers, eager for an encounter--with its aftermath' of "oil and bubbles" from a vanquished undersea hoat.
But as these doughboy spectators heard a member of the crew of the "hush" ship say, "She does everything but and SAW others demonstrate parts of the ship's fighting equipment, hitherto kept secret, they understood why they had so secure.

He was accompanied by Burgomaster Peereboom and Secretary of State Kan, who accompanies all the ex-royalties. As the visit was kept secret as possible, there' was DO crowd waiting him. This is the first visit of the prince Amerongen since his arrival in Holland, and the first time he has seen his father since his historic flight, although he met the kalserin outside the castle several months ago. The prince is expected to stay until tomorrow. The Plain Dealer correspondent has authority LO deny the rumors that the ex-crown princess is still in Holland.
It is, perhaps, only a strange coincident that two officers of high rank belonging. to Ludendorff's staff have arrived at Amerongen from. Germany at the same time as the former crown prince, and 80 soon after the visit of the princess. The Dutch papers all publish official reports that the visit of the prince is in connection with regulating the future of his children.

(Special Cable to Plain Dealer and New York Tines. Copyright, 1919) GENEVA, Oct. Armenian colony in Switzerland and the Armenians throughout Europe are filled with the greatest consternation by the reported intention of the American senate to refuse a mandate for Armenia. A statement issued by them says: We Armenians beg to say to the president and the senators and people of America that such a rejection will result in the extinction of the Armenian nation. Only an American protectorate can prevent the massacres which are already prepared for by Turkey and which will begin immediaely upon the news of American rejection in a relatively brief time.
The Armenian problem would thus be solved by the death of the last Armenian in the Armenian lands. We beg for some word of acceptance of consideration on. the part of the senate and the people. Only this can deliver the tortured Armenian nation from the overwhelming anguish that is now upon it, and this will place it under everlasting bunds of gratitude to the United States for its liberation.

In Germany Si per cent. of the cultivated land was owned the men who worked it while only 24.
