Answer Temptation and
Sobbing tall of Sea.
Cannibalism Is Feared
By The Anaoclatrd Frew.
Canstantinople, Jfiov. 1. The
condition of the refugees aboard the
90 or more ships, strung along the
Bosrihorus is appalling j and a' ter
rible catastrophe is feared unless
the promptest measures are taken
to land the thousands who are
writhing in misery and pain. The
correspondent visited several of
these "floating hospitals and mad
houses" today and returned to shore
with forebodings of impending ca
lamity. '
None of the refugees .has as yet
been taken ashore, excepting .the
sick and diseased and the. insane,
the latter of whom have been e.v.
trrmely numerous.
As the correspondent rode across
the Bosphorus an unpleasant smell
from the ships was apparent not
withstanding a strong, com sea
breeze. An American relief officer
accompanied him. . :.
As soon as the pair boarded the
.'hips tie clothing of both was vir
tually torn off by half maddened ref
ugees who begged to be takten to
land on the open hills which Border
the Bosphorus. '...)..
Filth Is Appalling.
Men, women and children re
gardless of age or scjc, are herded
together promiscuously on the ships
day and night in a state of appall
ing filth. Many women of distin
guished demeanor, despite; their
bedraggled appearance, offered . to
barter their valuables, jewels and
furs for a crust of bread or a glass
of water. In some cases, the refu
gees have been without water for
II days. " '.
The correspondent heard that there
had been numerous suicides of des
perate refugees going insane during
the night hours. They spoke of
ghastly temptation and the sobbing
call of the tea at night when they
were dying with thirst. Many of
the refugees were restrained from
jumping overboard, but many suc
ceeded. The American navy is assisting
In transporting sick women to hos
potals and the ear East Relief also

hardened relief nurses were moved
j to tears by maddened mothers of

- the scenes of separation have been

' 1 , Death, Rat Abnormal
The death rate has been abnormal
as the result of. the biting cold and
the lack of food. ,The American
Red Cross it offering 36,000 rations
, daily and several Americans are of
fering donations and subscriptions.
The French government, which is
in full charge of the. relief work,
is incapable of dealing with the sit
uation and it appealing to the Near
East Relief, whose funds are lim
ited. The fear was expressed by the
ship's officers that cases of canni
balism would occur unless food sup
plies are received promptly. In
many cases they had to fight off
maddened men from slaying chil
dren, they declared. The American
hospital in Stamboul is crowded to
capacity and the American Red
Cross is giving all its available med
ical supplies.

ferences with officers of the prohi

'5 In connection with the recent re

Confiscate Salaries.
Calling attention to the fact that
the federal adviser, as named by
him on the proposal of President
Wilson, is in fact a Haitian official
who is paid $10,000 a year in Hai
tian funds, the president said:
"In reality the financial adviser
does not report to the Haitian gov
ernment. It is the Haitian govern
ment that pretends to submit to
his sovereign will. The facts are
numerous which show the omnipo
tence which the financial adviser
attributes to himself.
"Nothing can ; give a more strik
ing idea of this omnipotence than
the confiscation by the financial ad
viser, aided by the American minis
ter, of the salaries of the president
of the republic, the secretaries of
state, members of the legislative
council, because the government re
fused to insert in the contract of
the National Bank of Haiti, an es
tablishment controlled by the Na
tional City Bank of New ,York, a
clause prohibiting the importation
into Haiti of foreign cold, which the
adviser wished to impose. This ad
viser eouallv prented a vote of
the budget, contrary to the voice ofj
the Haitian constitution.
No New Methods. ,
The financier adviser, the presi
dent asserted, has made no inquiry
into the validity of Haitian debts, has
recommended no perfected method of
banking the revenues and has made
no recommendation tor the weitare
and prosperity of the1 republic. In
the face of -"the inertia of the finan
cial adviser" the government multi
plied its effort?, according to the
president, who charged:
"The numerous financial projects,
agricultural and otherwise, of offi
cials, lie without response in the
archieves of the American legation."
Adding that his proposals were not
perfect, the president complained
that the civil functionaries are to
propose modifications or substitutes.
Affer his plans had been turned
down, the president penned:'
"And it is in the name of the gov

JLeague to IW
Armed Force to
Save Armenia
Council Adopts Resolution of
M. Viviani Calling for Force
To Put Down Hostilities
In Near East
By The AnaoclRted trmn.
' Geneva, Nov.. 22. A resolution
presented by M. Viviani, inviting the
council of the league of nations to
confer with the various powers with
the view of constituting a force 'suf
ficient to put an end to hostilities in
Armenia, which was joined to Lord
Robert Cecil's resolution along the
same lines, was adopted by the
assembly of the league this after
noon. Supporting Lord Robert Cecil's
demand that the assembly appoint a
committee to examine into means
for ending hostilities between the
Turkish nationalists and the Armen
ians, M.' Spalekjovitch of the Serbian
delegation recalled that the United
States senate at one time had ap
proved the use of the American fleet
to succor the Armenians. It was re
called' here in this connection that
Senator Harding was the senator
who reported the resolution.
Balfour Urges Army.
A. J. Balfour oT Great Britain,
speaking on the resolution, said that
if the United States had been willing
to take the mandatefor Armenia, she
had the men, money and spirit to
make her an ideal mandatory. The
league has'been unable t accomplish
anything with regard to the Armen
ian situation, Mr. Balfour 'admitted,
because the condition of Armenia, he
argued, was not such as the league
was organized to deal with.
Mr. Balfour said an appeal must
be sent to the 41 states of the league
for a united effort to save Armenia.
Rene Viviani of France, following
Mr. Balfour, said all were agreed
that compassion would no longer
suffice for Armenia..
Sixty Thousand Men Sufficient.
"It is not the fault of France if the
league today is disarmed btfore the
situation in Armenia is righteM," said
M. Viviani. Virtually the entire as
sembly applauded this statement. It
was noted, however, that the British
delegation did pot applaud.
If the conference had listened to
France," continued M. Viviani, "we
would h?ve had an international staff
and an international force to deal
with this situation." j
Dr. Fridtjof Nansen of Norway
estimated that 60,000 men would be
a force sufficient to deal with the
situation. He thought that if the
assembly appealed to the whole
world the United States, although it
had refused the mandate, would do
its share.

An interesting device switches on
electric lights in the henhouse at
about 4:30 and thhs makes "biddy

This! device fools the industrious bird

London, Nov. 22. A violent scene
occurred in the House of Commons
thisafternoon during the period of
questions regarding the situation in
Ireland. Joseph Devlin, nationalist,
and a unionist member, came to
blows. The sitting was suspended.
The altercation arose after Premier
Lloyd George had addressed the
house briefly on the subject being
followed by Mr. Devlin. The premier,
when he arose, said he shared the
horror all felt at the cold-blooded
murder of unarmed British officers.
The government, continued Mr.
Lloyd George, had resolved to sup
press murder and conspiracy in Ire
land. It was realized by alL that
to suppress such carfully organized,
highly subsidized plots would take
time, but the government was con-
vinccd that despite the recent hap
penings, the Irish authorities were
succeeding in breaking up the
"gangs of assassins." The premier.
said, however, that should exper
ience show show that the powers
possessed by the Irish government
had proved insufficient for that pur
pose the government would haveua
hesitation in asking the parliament
for such further authority as might
be necessary to achieve that end.
Ignores Foot Ball Gamti
Mr. Devlin arose and asked why
it was that when 'Sir Hamar Grum-
wood, the chief secretary for Ire
land, was asked a question he re
cited the horrible occurrences which
had happened yesterday and yet said
nothing about the appearance of a
military force at the foot ball match.
He was interrupted with loud cries
of "sit down."
Mr. Devlin retorted: "I shan't sit.
down," and continued: .-.'"'
"Why has; the house not been
mafde acquainted with a recital of
these events, of the entry of the
military info, the foot ball field and :
the indiscriminate shooting of 10
people?" ' '
There were - loud eries of "Oh!"
from the house at this.
Sir Hamar replied emphatically
that he has'been asked nothing
about that question but was pre
pared to answer. ' ,

, Mr. Devlin again arose amid an
gry cries of "sit dow" and was
endeavoring to speak when a mem-"
ber below him endeavored to pul:
him down. Mr. Devlin lunged for
ward fiercely in an -effort to shake
off the hold of the member, and the
latter, ' rising to his feet, the two
closed witK each other.
Other members came forward to
separate the pair, but notwithstand
ing these efforts, the two men strug
gled forward. Mr. Devlin, losing
his coat in the crush, but still hold
ing his own, cried:
"This is English courage and Eng
lish chivalry,"1 to attack one man in
600!"
After a minute or two the pair
were forced into seats by friends,
