AKK CONFIRMED.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—A state-
ment confirming the musacre of Ar-
menian* in Turkey wu given out here
today by Professor Samuel T. Out ton,
secretary of the conrmittee on atroci-
tiea, formed for the purpose of inves-
tigating the facta regarding the man-
nacre and ita relations to American
interests and also lu ascertain wheth-
er anything can be done to relieve the
situation. Other members of the com-
mittee include Charles H. Crane,
Cleveland H. Dodge, John R. Mott
and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise.
The statement says:
"A sub-committee has thoroughly
Investigated the evidence and haa just
made report to the full committee con-
fi-mingr in every particular the state-
ment recently made by Viscount Bryce
regarding the Imprisonment, torture,
murder, massacre and exile into the
deserts of northern Arabia of defense-
less i'.nd innocent Armenlaos, includ-
ing decrepit men, women and chil-
dren and their forcible conversion to
Islam.
^"The statements examined covered
hundreds of towns and cities in which
in many instances all of the Armeni-
ans have been killed outright often
after horrible torture or sent to the
desert to die of starvation and that
too with diabolical cruelty. The os-
tensible deportation of men, women
and children toward Mesopotamia 1»
usually but a form of marching those
starving, helpless and frequently
naked refugees out Into the mountains
to be outraged and butchered.
"Included among these refugees and
victims are pupils and graduates from
the American schools and co'leges.
THe plan of procedure, which Is identi-
cal in all parts of the country, seems
to aim at the complete elimination of
all non-Moslem races from Asiatic
Turkey and already that aim is in
fair way for assomplishment, so far
as the Armenians are concerned.
'"In several places American prop-
erty has been seized. Americans
searched, imprisoned and expelled
from the country, - their letters and
telegrams even even from the United
State*consular offices intercepted and
their |ives-1>Ut in jeopardy.
"This, however, Is of trivial Import-
ance compared with the work of de-
struction going on among the Armen-
ians. Evidence seems to prove that
probably 500,000 Armenians already
have been murdered or forced to the
desert, where only death awaits them
unless relief is succored at once. And
all this has taken place since March
and Is now at the height of Its grue-
some fury. 'The committee Is confi-
dent that if the press of the country
should call upon the Turkish govern-
ment to put an end to this crime
against humanity and return the exiles
who yet may be living to their homes,
It could hardly fail to produce results.
"In view of the great Influence
which Germany and Austria exercise
over their ally the American people
cannot fail to hold them morally re-
sponsible if these atrocities are per-
mitted to continue."
ARMS AND CARTRIDGES CON-
SIGNED TO CARRANZA NOT

LAREDO, Tex., Sept. 2®.—United
States customs official* today held up
half a million rounds of cartridge*
and a large number of army rifles
destined for use by the Carranza
force* on order* said to have emanat-
ed from Washington. All ammunition

bargo on arm* to belligerents in

Washington, Sept 26.—Treasury
department officials explained tonight
that the shipment of arms held up at
Laredo had been detained merely for
^'investigation." Several shipments re-
cently have been similarly examined
befora being permitted to pass into
Mexico.
Officials said the American govern-
ment was careful to see that the ship-
ments consigned to the Villa or the
Carranza factions really were intended
for them. Under the guise of being
shipped to alleged agents of the two
I aders, arms, It Is suspected, may
really be on their way to independent
bands of filibustered or border
raiders.

They Included a number of Katy thop
men who were given leave of absence
and free transportation by the Katy

lature.
, C. of C. Me«"t« Tonight.
The attention of the members Is
called to the fact that, beginning with
the ;neetlng tonight, the assembling
hour of the Chamber of Commerce
directorate Is 7:30, instead of 8 as
heretofore.
Several subjects ot much Interest
and importance will come up for at-
tention tonight, it in stated by Secre-
tary Land, and a full attendance Is
urged. A matter of immediate and
vital Importance In connection with
the Texas division of the gre.it Na-
tional Highway will be explained in
a letter received yesterday from State
Secretary D. E. Colp to Secretary Land
The Clean-Up Work.
Early this morning the committee
appointed to "canvass the trash piles"
and decide winners of the prizes of-
fered, will start on their rounds of In-
spection.
While the committee is *ory fa-
miliar with the location of the various
competitive trash piles, it Is suggested
that, in order to be certain that none
is overlooked, the captain or some
member of each competitive team
should phone the Chamber of Com-
merce this morning, giving Mr. Land
the location of the various "dumps"
to be inspected. This list will not only
aid the committee In locating all the
piles, but will also give them some-
thing to check by in order to be sure
that none has been overlooked.
Efforts Una vailing.
Secretary Land of the Temple
Chamber of Commerce is just in re-
ceipt of a letter from Charles Seger
of Philadelphia, which is In reply to
a recent letter from Mr. Land urging
a longer stop of the Liberty Hell in
Temple than had previously been ar-
ranged by the committee in charge of
the tour. Mr. Seger's letter states that
it will be impossible to change the pro-
gram already arranged, and that only
a short stop will be possible here.
Continuing, the Philadelphia gentle-
man's letter says:
"The committee also will, within
the next few days, extend an Invita-
tion to Governor Ferguson of Texas
to accompany the Liberty Bell escort
through his state. The itinerary,
which is now in press, will be for-
warded within the next few days."

The clean-up campaign committee
made an unofficial tour of the various
districts of the city yesterday, looking
down the alleys, peeping into back
yards and observing, in a general way,
the effects of the campaign thus far
waged.
"In sortie' districts there has been ef-
fective work dorie," 'stated a member
of the committee last night, "while In
other sections of the city the campaign
has been totally ignored, and the alleys
apd premises are still littered with dis-
ease-breeding and unsightly trash and
rubbish."
Continuing his comment this com-
mitteeman said: "The most notable
effect of the campaign is found in the
district lying north of French avenue
to the city limits, between First and
Ninth streets. Here the alleys, yards
and vacant lots are clean, sightly and
sanitary, while in Other sections of
the city apparently nothing has been
done as yet."
Josephine Clarke, whose costumes
are the Joy of her feminine admirers
wherever she goes, is coming here
with Kingling Brothers' circus and all
i her 14 trunks of beautiful dresses are
coming with her.
Miss Clarke has the reputation of
being the best dressed, the prettiest
and most graceful rider in all the land
of spangles. Her mow-white mount,
Silver King, is the most knowing of all
circus horses. This beautiful English
girl is of the new school of eques-
trianism. Wl.ile she is an adept at
the forward and backward somersault
and , all lil^e^fieats of horsemanship,
her fnost remarkatV achievements lie
in'her daring toe and pallet dancing
performed upon the back of her swift-
ly moving steed.
Dangerous? Perhaps so, but Miss
Clarke laughs at such a suggestion.
"Everybody should know how to
ride," says she, "and, girls, here is an

Peru, 111., Sept. 26.—Plans were
formulated at today's session of the
Illinois division, German-American
Alliance, for members to inform banks
wherein they have deposits that any
participation in the "proposed robbery
of the nation's wealth by making a
loan to the allies" would have as a
j consequence the withdrawal in gold of

" DEAR MOTHER: — A good thing to
send would be a package of Grape-Nuts,
or something of that kind that is not ex-
pensive or heavy and is of good food
value. Your son, WILL."
From a Canadian soldier at the battle front;
reprinted from the Renfrew (Ont.) Journal.
Wherever hardships are endured, wherever big deeds are accomplished, there
a food is demanded that provides maximum of value in brain- and body-building
material with minimum of bulk.
In this respect no other food equals
Grape~Nuts
In building the Panama Canal thousands of brain workers as well as brawn
workers kept themselves fit and in trim by eating Grape-Nuts dry from the pack-
age.
Not only does Grape-Nuts supply all the brain- and bone-building, nerve- and
muscle-making elements of choicest wheat but also the rich nutriment of malted
barley.
Grape-Nuts is highly concentrated nourishment in compact form — always
ready, crisp and delicious—thoroughly baked and packaged to keep indefinitely,
anywhere.
Wherever time is precious and sound nourishment vital you'll find Grape-
Nuts.

occupation for you! Why not become
a bareback rider? I began when 1
was just the littlest girl and then my
family sent me away to school in
Paris and I dtdn't even see a horse ex-
cept in books. After I left the con-
vent I went to dancing school to ac-
quire the grace that is necessary to
lend finish to my work as a profes-
sional rider. Then I took up the cir-
cus as a life work. I think It Is the
happiest, healthiest life a woman can
lead. Riding is sple.idid exercise. It
develops tho body, self-confidence and
teaches one how to walk prop fly on
the street."
.Miss Clarke Is but one of some fifty
ijiiers to be seen here when Kingling
Brothers' circus comes to Temple,
Thursday, October 7. She appears al-
most immediately following the new
1,250-character spectacle of Solomon
and the Queen of Sheba which is this
season's big feature of the circus pro-
gram.
Plans For the Exhibit of
Canning Club Products
Twenty thousand unwounded Ger-
man prisoners and dead ynd Wounded
op both side in numbers of which as
yet there is no estimate, is the toll
taken In the first two days' drive of
the Anglo-French forces which have
begun a great offensive movement
against the German entrenchments
along the line in the western war zone
from the N'ortn sea to the Swiss fron-
tier.
Two distinctive operations are un-
derway. one north of Arras a.nd the
other in the Champagne region, while
there has been an incessant bombard-
ment along almost the entire front.
Both the Itritish and French have
been successful, carrying trenches ex-
tending over a distance of twenty
miles and a depth varying up to two
and a half miles and it is officially re-
ported both from Paris and i.ondon
that the advance is still being contin-
ued. the ground gained having in a
larger measure been held and consoli-
dated The Berlin war office pdmits
the retirement of the German forces
at several points, but minimizes the
results of the engagements.
For several weeks British arid
French artillery have been pounding
fiercely and continuously at the Her-
man line. The forward movement of
the infantry begun Saturday morning
when the allied troops threw them-
selves against the German trenches in
which, though battered and torn by
heavy shells, the Germans waited,
having long expected the onslought.
Much of the fighting was at close
range, hand to hand encounters being
carried from trench to trench. The
heavy artillery continued to pour
forth a rain of heavy projectiles while
aviators took the air to direct the fir-
ing and themselves engaged in many
combats.
In addition to having captured Sou-
chez, a much disputed point of van-
tage. the French have succeeded in
forcing a passage of the great series
of trenches and fortifications in
Champagne between Auherive and
Ville sur Tourbe, driving the Germans
to the second line of trenches, two or
three miles to the rear. This offen-
sive Is still in progress.
The British gains have been made
north of Arras. They have taken the
town of Loos and the quarries north-
west of Hulluch and have compelled
the Germans to draw on their re-
serves to check the advance.
For the time being the dramatic de-
velopment of events in the west have
overshadowed those in the eastern
theatre where the Russians have stay-
ed the progress of the Austro-Germans
at many points and have apparently
succeeded in getting themselves well
in hand for further offensive and de-
fensive operations.
The quick answer of Greece to Bul-
garian mobilization has probably been
a factor in clearing the atmosphere
with respect to Bulgaria's intentions.
The Bulgarian government has noti-
fied the powers that the mobilization
of the Bulgarian army was ordered In
the national interests and that it was
not intended as an offensive measure.
Individual members of the Bulgarian
government also have expressed them-
selves to the same effect. Neverthe-
less both Greece and Roumanla con-
tinue to make ready for any eventual-
ities.

thing that distinguishes a'

The canning club exhibit is going to
form a very important part of the dis-
plays at the Bell county fair, which
will open one week from today. Miss
Henley has been working enthusias-
tically since her return from short
course work with the state forces, her
efforts being directed chiefly toward
Instructing the girls as to how to put
oh the exhibit and getting the various
products in readiness. She has an-
nounced that Friday, October 8, will
be the big day at the fair tor the
canning club girls, designating that
date as canning club day. She is at
work now on the program for the
event and the plans under way speak
for the fact that the approaching
rally will far surpass the one held in
Temple at the beginning of the sum-
mer.
' "What I want the girls to do," says
Miss Henley, "is to give as much at-
tention to their exhibit now as pos-
sible. It is only a few days until the
fair opens and we must begin now to
make the matter a success. I have ar-
ranged for the. girls to bring their ex-
hibits to the Carnegie library, where
I will take charge of them and see
that they are taken out to the fair
grounds. But these exhibits must
be at the library—the place win re the
rally was held a few months ago—by

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.—Storm areas
covered the greater portion of the
country during Sunday. The rainfall
In the northern portion of the country
reached from the north Pacific coast
across the country to the north At-
lantic coast, with only slight*interrup-
tion. In the east and the Great Lakes
region the storm was severe.
The temperature in the upper Mis-
sissippi valley and the Great l^akes re-
gion took a considerable fall. In Chi-
cago the rainfall amounted to more
than an inch and a half and there was
a drop In temperature from 70 to 55.

Dubuque, Iowa, Sept. 26.—The
heaviest rainstorm In the history of
the city swept over this section today
causing thousands of dollars damage
to property and tying up railroad traf-
fic. The Mississippi river has risen
nearly two feet sine* Saturday night.
Jftngstob, Jmmale*. Apt !«.—The
Thursday at the latest. Tf any of the
girls fail -to get their displays to this
place by that time, I may arrange to
receive them Saturday at the fair
grounds; but I hope all of them will
bring the exhibits on to Temple in
order that I may have all of them
taken to the fair grounds at once.
And remember I want them in by
Thursday of this week. If they are
not in by that time I will expect them
at the fair grounds on Saturday."
Miss Henley is expecting a success-
ful exhibit at the fair and while she
explains that Friday of next week will
be the day of the big rally and parade
for the girls, yet the exhibits will be
on display every day and she will be
there to answer any questions or give
any information that is wanted in con-
nection with the work.
Through the courtesy of the Cham-
ber of Commerce she Is permitted to
store the exhibits of the girls at the
Carnegie library up till Thursday,
when they will be carried to the fair
grounds. And then, as she explains,
the displays will be received at the
grounds on Saturday. However, in or-
der to avoid confusion right at the
last moment, she is particularly anx-
ious for all the girls who can to bring
their exhibits to the Chamber of Com-
merce rooms by Thursday of this
week.
