LONDON, March 1.—"I saw all
our women and my mother torn to
pieces by the monsters who disputed
for possession of them,” says the Old
Princess in Candido, “ami I was left
for dead amid a heap of corpses. For
three hundred leagues around simi
lar scenes were going on without any
• omission in the five prayers a day pre
1 scribed by Mohamet.”
It is impossible in reading the evi
; dence as to the treatment of the Ar
| menians i nthe Ottoman empire not to
i be reminded of this and other episodes
by which Voltaire strove to disconcert
the optimismf of his Pangloss Kpi
sodes which, however, seerm'd to tran
scend the license of even satirical in
vention and to have no warrant in the
actual facts of medieval history,
i Alas, we now know that Voltaire’s
imagination fell below, not exceeded,
the diabolism of human nature .it
these moments when maddened by
war lust, let us charitably admit by
war panic, it returns to that pre-his
toric animal nature through which the
soul has slowly struggled.
From more than one area of the war
| zone, from Belgium, from Galicia,
i from Turkish Armenia the same story
reaches us; thp same dread saga of
the wanderings of whole populations
under the spur of massacre, rape, hun
ger. Little children fall like flies by
I the wayside and new children are born
! on the march. Mothers go mad. Girls
| throw themselves into the rivers. Men
are killed and buried like dogs.
| But Belgiuhm has almost all the
; world for her friends and the faith in
| restoration goes before her exiles like
J a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar
! of tire by night. Even the Jews ol the
i pale, torn and tossep between the al
i ternate victors begin to find organized
help and behold some taint gleam of
I Zion upon the political horizon. On
Ararat alone no arK can rest, for
Armenia alone there is the cry with
out answer. Watchman what of the
night ?
Only for a minority can there be
political redemption, let us at least
bring physical salvation to their agon
izing remnant.
Sister nations I have been accustom
ed to think the Armenians and the
Jews. Hoth hail from sisterlands of
the cradle of civilization. Hoth come
trailing clouds of glory from the pui
ple days of Persia and Babylon. Hoth
have bourne the shock of the ancient
and medieval empires and of the mili
tant migrations of their races and'
both bold their original faith for if
the one was the first preacher of Je
hovah the other was the first nation
to profess Jesus. And sisters too ;n I
sorrow, aitnougn pxiihi, s.iun*n,
persecuted, massacred.
Sisterf forsooth yet not e(|ual in
suffering. Hitherto through the long
centuries the crown of martyrdom has
been pre-eminently Israel’s. And as
day by day during this war of wars
there came to me by dark letter or
whisper the tale of her woes in the
central war zone I said to myself
surely the cup is full. Surely no peo
ple on earth has had such a measure
of gall and vinegar to drain.
Mut 1 was mistaken. One people
has suffered more. The people whose
ancient realm held the legendary Kden
has now for abiding place the pit of
hell. I bow before this higher majes
ty of sorrow. I take the crown of
thorns from Ierael’s head and place
it upon Armenia’s.

TELLS STOR1 OF THE
DISCOVERY OF NOME
(Juneau Dispatch)
A correspondent who wishes to be
known only by the initials C. G. denies
that Jafct Lindeberg and Erik Lind
blom were the first discoverers of gold
at Nome. He saw a story some time
ago in this paper—the story of a fight
which occurred in San Francisco over
an alleged bill due by Mrs. Lindblom.
In this story Lindblom was given
again the credit for discovering Nome
and “C. G.” comes back with the fid
lowing interesting reply:
“Reading your article referring to
Lindeberg and l.indblom as the dis
coverers of the Nome gold I can in
form you that neither Lindeberg nor
Lindblom were the first discoverers of
■ Nome’s gold and that neither of them
had ever prospected for mineral in
Alaska previous to the Nome camp be
ing organized by Gabe I’rice who too!,
out $10,000 from No. K Anvil creek in
189!) and made rockers for Lindeberg.
Lindblom and the others in 1898 and
showed them how to use them. They
rocked out $1,800 from September lf>
to the freeze-up.
The Mayor Woods Co., of Seattle,
was formed seven years previously to
Nome being organized, by the writer
of this article who is the first white
man to find gold at Nome, hut came
out at the wrong end of the Horn. The
writer was also the instigator of
Hultberg and ISIake, the finders of
gold on Anvil creek in 1898; that is
not to say these men were the first to
find gold at Nome, for the writer of
this took a party of 1” prospectors in
June, 1898, and obtained good pros
pects. Anyone who wishes to know
the tioie and long history of the camp
j can inquire of C. G.”
