R ARRIBBTTRG TELEGRAPH TESTIFY ON HIGH PRICE OF PAPER [Continued iYom First Page] tematlonal Paper Companj was hold ing more than a million dollars' worth ot news print paper and he compared that with the tact that publishers all over tne country are lacing increases In prices and the possibility of dlAcui ty to make new contracts tor supplies. P. T. Dodge, representing the inter national Company, told tlie commis sion the reserve stock to which Mr. Zerbey reterred was held to sustain the company s record of never having tailed to supply its customers for ally cause whatever, tires, noous or siriKes. Air. Dodge added that new mills his company is about to bund will be ill Canada because the present tariff con ditions are hostile to paper manufac turing in the United mates. Certain of Collusion F. B. Class, vice-president of the .American Newspaper Publishers' As sociation. declared In his testimony that the publishers in the association Who inu.any certain there was collu sion among paper makers to force up the prices, and ne promised to piace in the Hands of the commission within sixty uays what he said would be proof of ills statement. Mr. Glass said the publishers asso ciation viewed the situation with ex treme alarm and had held meetings recommending increased paper pro duction by Sunday work and the limi tation of the use of paper by smaller euili6ns, decreased returns and circu lation iu activity. Increases of 25 to 35 per cent, on contracts and some times 100 per cent, on emergency or ders, he said, were taking the profits of most newspapers and uriving some to tne wail, one western paper, he said, reports an increased paper cost of »250,U00 a year. No means of re lief except the courts or the commis sion were open to the publishers, lie said. He added it was almost impos sible to get quotations from more than one mill, that one being the one usu ally dealt with. He suggested that publishers might stand a small increase perhaps of 5 per cent. In paper prices but that any thing above that would force very many of the smaller newspapers up to 20,00(j circulation In bankruptcy.

VIRGINIA FARMERS VISIT THE CITY 300 Agriculturists Motor Through Nearby Counties to Study Penna. Methods With a view to obtaining first-hand knowledge of better and more scien tific farming methods. 300 Virginia and West Virginia farmers have laid aside their work for a shoA time and are motoring slowly through Penn sylvania's finest agricultural section. Dusty and travel-weary the party reached Harrisburg shortly before noon co-day. They were met by a committee from tne Chamber of Commerce and taken to a local res taurant for lunch. Later they were taken through the Capitol grounds by guides supplied by Samuel B. Rambo, Superintendent of Public Grounds and Buildings, af ter which they went to the House Caucus Room where Joseph W. Hunt er, first deputy State Highway Com missioner, addressed the party on X J ennsyivania's Good Roads Methods. The Virginia farmers listened with attention as the Good Roads expert described the progress this State has made in its highway building and many notes were made for future ref erence. Some accurate information on crop rotation, soil treatment and other scientific farming methods was sup plied the visitors by E. K. Hibshman, of the Agriculture Extension Depart ment of Pennsylvania State College, who met the party here. Representatives of the State Agri cultural Commission piloted the Vir ginians over Reservoir Park. They then inspected the Bonnymeads farms before leaving for Hershey. After the ipspection of the Hershey farms the tourists went to Eiisabethtown to see the Masonic home farms. Mr. Hibshman joined the party an<? accompanied it to Hershey, where the model farms M. S. Hershey the "Chocolate King" were inspected and modern dairying was studied. The State College man will accompany the men to Lancaster where another rep resentative of the State institution will escort the men through the rich to bacco and truck-farming district of Lancaster county. The trip will cover a large part of Central Pennsylvania and will require several days. It is said to be the first time such a large party left its home State to study farming methods. TELLS OF MASSACRE OF MILLION PEOPLE [Continued From First Page] Mohammedans of their country, but those of Persia, to a jehad, or holy war, which in unadorned language means that the property, lives and women of all Christians are lawful prey to every Mohammedan fighting in that war. The result is that the massacres and other violences perpe trated in Persia and sections of the country tinder Turkish control cannot be described. Probably never In the history of the world has such fright ful, wholesale and systematic mas sacres occurred. About one million Armenians and Nestorlan Christians were massacred and untold thousands of women and girls carried Into a ter rible captivity and everything they possessed swept away. When I went to Urumiah to carry aid about a year ago thousands of Christians who had found refuge in the mission for five months were just ready to return to their homes in the village. They had absolutely nothing. Their houses were heaps of earth. They had nothing to put under or over them at night, no food, no money with which to buy it, and not even a spade to bury their dead. Everything had to be provided. This is the work of the American Re lief Committee of the Caucasus In i Persia and Turkey wherever the Turks have permitted the work to be done. Through the generosity of the Ameri can public nearly $1,500,000 has al ready been expended to restore the refuges. Morgenthau, our ex-ambas sador to Constantinople, who has done great things for the Christians throughout the East, estimates that about $5,000,000 more will be needed to complete the work. This, to my mind, is a very small and inadequate estimate. Work of the Relief "When I came away the chief forms of relief work was that of providing seed and cattle In order to get the farmers on their feet. Large sums were also being spent for pruning and spading the vineyards, from which, through the raisin crop. Persia realizes her greatest income. With an advance of the Russian army in Turkey there is a betterment of conditions, but also a more urgent call for assistance, in asmuch as It means new areas to which the poor refugees may return and where they will require assistance." Effect on Missions Never have missions in the Orient justified themselvee more than in Persia at the present time. In the extreme northwest of Persia the mis. sionaries kept for five months a popu lation of over fifteen thousand in their own yards. By so doing they saved the mfrom massacre, dying from starvation and from the fierce epidemics sweeping over the place. Since hen the missionaries have been active in relief work and have ad ministered relief not, only to .the des titute Christian population but to hun dreds of Mohammedans, who through the fortunes of war are as destitute as the Christians. The result is that the Christian missionaries have the love and gratitude of both sides in this terrible conflict. It is impossible to prophecy what will be future Persia after the war. There are two opposing opinions. One Is that Russia which now occupies the north with large armies will relax her grip. The other Is that if Russia wins .Constantinople or a port on the Mediterranean she will not be anxious to retain Persia but will agree with England to make her a buffer State between two powers. The Moham mednns of Persia because of their relations to Turkey and the Germans. The Mohammedon through pure prejudice have been pro-German in ther sympathies. Persia almost at one time threw in her lot with Tur key. She was, however, spared that misfortune and has kept her neutral ity as correctly as possible. The mass of the people care nothing for either side but only long for peace and quiet. Mr. Labaree was born in Prt-sia of missionary parents but has only been connected with the mission work for twelve years at Urumia and Tabriz. Last year he was at Urumia in the relief work where forty or fifty thou sand have received regular assistance. Mr. Labaree was not in Urumia dur ing the five trying months of Turkish occupation when the thousands of Christians were huddled together in mission yards in fear of massacre. He was trying to get to Urumia with medical and other aid for the sorely tried missionaries and their charges, in which effort he had many strange and thrilling experiences. The most exciting of which was a surprise at tack on the Russian forces in Salwas by a division of Turkish troops in charge of Khalil Beg, son-in-law of Enber Pasha. Mr. Labaree and his companions escaped out of the attack ed city almost between firing lines. Mr. Labaree is In this country for an indefinite stay with his wife and family who arrived last year, AUGUST 1,1916.
