The Exeter Times, 1919-3-13, Page 71`.1GAI'I'S L.A NI)ING PLACE The New Republic of Ararat is a Province of Arxnenia, The recent appeal made by the newly establishedepublie of Ararat for recognition will be better under- stood, at least geographically, when it is explained •that the region in question is a province of Armenia. It takes its name from the moun- tain on which the .Ark made a land- ing after the Flood --Ararat meaning Noah's Mountain, The whole world, according to the Bible story, was submerged during the period of the Deluge and Ararat's topmost peals was the first dry laud ..topmost appear above the waters, for the simple reason that it was the loftiest Armenia, at all events. As viewed to -day it gives a notion of the depth of the Flood, inasmuch as the peak is more than three miles above sea level; It is dome-shaped, and its elopes for 9,000 feet -from the top are covered with everlasting snow and great fields of glittering ice. The climb down must have been rather difficult for Noah, his family, and all the animals disembarked from the Ark. As for an ascent to the top, it was formerly believed to be linpos- sible. The Armenian monks de- clared that remains of the Noachian Roark still existed on the .summit, and that by reason of their sanctity a su- pernatural influence forbade 'ap- proach. Nevertheless, in September, 1829, a bold climber, Dr. Johann Parrot, succeeded ,in reaching the'top of Ara- rat, and on coming down stated that he had found not even the keel of the Ark up there. Since then the feat has been repeated by several other adventurops persons. Ararat come"s pretty near to being G.

The British schooner Charlevoix, whose skipper, Captain Roberts, - re- fused to leave his' dtismasted and waterlogged craft when his crew of seven men m n were taken off in m idocean February 8, by the steamship J. A. Bostwick, and later landed at Key West, is still afloat with its skipper, who is just as determined as ever not to leave it a derelict on the high seas as a pnize for some fortune-hunting tug or steamship which might come along and pick it up and tow it in to some nearby port. The devotion of Captain Roberts to the interests of his owners is regard- ed as one of the extraordinary ex- amples of heroism in the annals of the sea. According to the master of the Bostwick, no persuasion could in., duce Captain Roberts to leave his ship, which was on a voyage from St. Andrews, Fla., to Macoris, with a cargo of lumber. A severe storm die - mantled the vessel and caused it to leak, the lumber cargo alone keeping it afloat.' It was forty-eight hours after the Bostwick had left the Charlevoix, with all its crew except Captain Rob- erts en board, that the wrecked craft was again met&by a steamship. Rang- ing near the deep laden hulk, the lone mariner on board was asked if assist- ance was needed. The reply came back that no help was needed. The steamship is of steel. The ship then was 27 degrees 55 minutes north, 'longitude 79 degrees 5 minutes west. My Creed. ittflicay creed? Yes, friend, I'll tell it you.

Valuable Neelelaee for Baby Welfare - The Duchess .of Albany, who " is keenly interested in all schemes for infant welfare, has recently sold a row of pearie often worn by the late C 'ween Victoria, and presented by her to her daughter-in-law, to a Picca- dilly purchaser for £2,500.

"The department of the Somme is peculiarly appropriate for the purposes of the committee's relief, for two rea- sons. It has been the scene of the Bri- tish army's operations since the battle of the Somme in 1916. and it is, per- haps. the victim. of greater and more concentrated. destruction than any other part of France. The devastated region in the Somme department alone amounts to 477,000 acres. Of this about 'one-half is completely ruined by the digging of trenches and by bomb- bardment, and will take years to re- store; the remainder is capable og be- ing brought back within'a measure - able time to a state of cultivation. "The district extends from Bapaume to Montdidier and from beyond Peron- n,e to within a few miles of Amiens. It would be quite useless to send live- stock into any part of this area at the present.time, for there are no means of subsistence for animal life and the farmers have no hooses to live in. It is hoped, however, that by May ar- rangements will have been made to en- able the farmers gradually to return to their farms in the more favored dis- tricts, and it is then that assistance will be welcome. Somme Land Most Damaged. "A visit to the Marne department in 1915 enabled me to compare the state of that district with that of the Som- me in 1918. In the country round Cha - ions the villages had been destroyed, but, owing to the fact that the Ger- mans beat so precipitate a retreat and also that trench warfare had hardly commenced, the soil was cimparative- ly uninjured. The devastation in the Somme department is infinitely great- er because the land is destroyed. "To a people s$ much attached to • H ow Mang of YNeighbors Your s Drink.

"The one abiding impression obtain- ed by traversing the battlefields is that of sameness. Towns and villages leveled to the ground and; fields churn- ed ftp by shell fire. Wherever the bat- tle has raged in its fury the effect is the same, and the state of the country beggars description. To , feel the `.full force the present must be contrasted with the past. A few months before the Germans advanced the country round Amiens was ' sown 'with` wheat. The prospect was good. "The farmers had been secure since the retreat of the enemy in 1916. They were industrious and hopeful that the tide had turned, and that the worst was over. Suddenly, on March 21, 1918, the German advance began. It became an onrush, and in a few days the enemy was at the gate of Amiens. Then followed a sauve qui pent. Old men, women and children seized on as many family goods as they .could and fled. Surely the enemy would be stayed; it was only a momentary suc- cess. They would return in a few days. It was not to be; they could never return to thein homes as they/ knew then. • "Their farewell was a final parting, for not one house was to remain in the villages they left. 'A few bricks might indicate where the village stood, but no more. Shell, bomb and dynamite, sure agents of destruction would the g , see to that. Those who have known „and loved a home can imagine the anguish. No home -coming for the man at the wars. It can never be the same again. Old associations cannot be re- created. A wound. had been inflicted which can never heal. Trees Could Tell Tales. "The trees, which are so essential to the beauty of the country, which give shade to the traveler and rest the eye, could tell a tale; whole woods have been mown down: others stand up limbless and headless like. scaffold- ing poles. All are pierced and torn. The landscape is waste and treeless. The earth must have looked like this when first it cooled and before there was life and all wan void. The work of centuries has been erased, and a new creation is required. "When the cathedral of Chartres was destroyed in the twelfth century it was considered to be such a calami- ty for Christendom that pilgrims flocked from all sides to aid in its re- building. In the same way this great calamity which France has suffered for the common cause must not be left on her shoulders alone to bear. Ger- many, which has inflicted this outrage,. and has escaped invasion, must be made to carry the burden, and it should be a pleasure to us to do what we can to aleviate the suffering of the French peasants, What we can do is in the nature of first aid. "The farmer when he returns will require to begin life again. His stock and his implements have gone, and Monsieur Jourdan informed pie that t fticie n wayto help the most a e t 1 the far- mer would be to give him those kinds of stock which will bring him the quickest return, such as poultry and pigs, later he would welcome sheep and cattle, In the same way the small- er implements of husbandry and for the dairy would be more useful than machines iswillbe sup - CANADIAN heavierY. which- p CANADIAN DOWNED Montrealer Attacked Single -Handed When 19,000 Feet Up. Now that the many and varied "hush" incidents of the war are com- ing to light, it will be interesting to tell how a Montreal aviator account- ed for the last Zeppelin to be brought down. The aviator was Lieut. Stuart L. Culley, D.S.O., who enlisted in the Royal Naval Service nearly two years ago, Early Sunday morning, August 11, 1918, word was brought in by motor boats that a Zeppelin had been sight- ed; When he was some 10,000 feet i p, Culley sighted the Zeppelin a con- siderable distance away. He decided to attack it. He kept straight on Until the Zeppelin was almost direct- ly over him, when lie pulled up the nose of the plane and emptied his machine gun into the bottom of the airship, it being some 200 feet above the plane 1. The plane itself was 19,- 000 9;000 feet in the air. In about half a minute or no spurts of flame appeared in several parts of the Zeppelin. The ships had been watching the performance and immediately the Admiral saw the flames he sent this signal to all the ships round about: "Turn to hymn 224, last verse," which is as follows: . "0 happy band of pilgrims, Look upward to the skies, Where such a light affliction, Shall win so great a prize." Later' Lieut. Gulley was called on by the Admiral to stand on the deck of a destroyer while the fleet went by with the crews lining the ,gunwales cheeringa him. ZEPPELIN TJ. S: IMMIGRATION TO WEST Alberta Has the Largest Proportion of People from the States. According to .official figures the tdtal number of Americans that have taken up residence in the Province of Alberta since 1905, including five months of the fiscal year 1918-19, reaches 275,093. In 1905 the rov- ince of Alberta was organized; and statistical information has been kept since that date of the immigration into the three provinces of Saskat- chewan, Manitoba and Alberta. Sas- katchewan ranks second, with 226,330 immigrants, and Manitoba third, with only 78,789. The largest immigration into Alberta from the United States came in 1909-10 and numbered 34,563; the smallest, in 1918-19, numbered 5,613. The total population of Alberta in 1916 was given -officially as 496,525. The British immigration during the thirteen years since the province was organized, was 73,082, and other than British 40,282, making a total of 113,- 364, as compared with 275,003 immi- grants of Ainerican nationality. The predominance of the American immi- grant ever all other nationalities is nearly seventy per cent. Assuming that the proportion of immigrants from the United States residing in Alberta prior. to the organization of the province was about the same as fir now existing, the total American population in Alberta to -clay is prob- ably 325,000 out of the entire popula- tionF per cent. of 49,21~, or about 65. Of bourse, hundreds of Americans upGovernment lam d and have taken have become naturalized, and many hundreds of immigrants have left the United States before they had c'om pleted 'their naturalisation there.

This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in town if people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims that a few drops of a drug called freezone when applied to a tender, aching corn top soreness at once, and soon the corn dries up and lifts right off without pain. He says freezone is an ether" com- pound which dries immediately and never inflamesor even irritates the surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter of an ounce of freezone will cost very little at any drug store, but is suiPi- cient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet.

Strange though it may appear, a dog's bark or the simple crack of a rifle carry farther than any of the afore -mentioned soends. Misiard's Liniment Cures Sumo, Etc.. He Was Too Busy.
