ARMENIA IN WORSE
H.I6ITTHW SERBS
OR BELGIAN FOLKS
i
LONDON, Dec. 27. —George F. I
Gracey, a member of the American
committee for Armenian and Syrian
Relief, who has helped to feed and
clothe about 55,000 Armenians m
their native land and again when they
fled to the Caucasus to escape the
Turks, has just returned to London.
"Most of this was possible only
through the generosity of the Ameri
can people,” declared Mr. Gracey, who
is not an American but an Englishman
and has been a member of the Ameri
can committee for the last twelve
years. Since the war broke out he
has been directing the relief work for
the Armenians from Tiflis.
"Armenia has replaced Belgium and
Serbia as the most distressed country
on the face of the globe,’’ said Mr.
Gracey. “The Armenians have twice
been driven from their native land.
Those who were not massacred when
. the Turks invaded their country early
in the war fled to the Caucasus. They
returned when the Russians drove the
Turks out of Armenia. They were
forced to flee to the Caucasus again a
few- months ago when the Turks
chased the Russians out of Mush and
Bitlis. and for a time threatened the
Cjar’s army at Van, on the east side
of the lake of that name.
“When the Armenians were able to
return to their country early this year'
they were without food, clothing or j
the means of making a living. The I
American committee came to the res-;
cue by supplying some 30,000 with 2,-1
700 head of cattle and a large quantity
of agricultural implements. This
work of repatriating them ran along
from May to August of this year. Just
a ; they were getting on their feet again
and starting out to face life anew
along come the reinforced Turks. The
Ottoman troops succeeded in taking
Mush and Bitlis in the very heart of
Armenia. They they moved along the
northern and western shores of Lake
Van with the object of encircling the
town of Van, which was the base of
the Russian operations in that district.
They did not get to Van but clung to
the shores of the lake. That is the
present military situation in that ter
ritory.
“The object of the Russian incurs
ion into Armenia was not only to res
cue the Armenians but to establish a
’n<* from Trebizond on the Black Sea
across the neck of Asia Minor to Al
eppo and thus deprive Turkey of the
resources of Mesopotamia. Those
who have followed the course of the
war know what happened. They know
that the Russians were only partially
successful, that they captured Trezi
i zond, Mush and Bitlis but were unable
to extend their line farther south and
prevent the subsequent loss of the
two last named places.
) "Although tile Turks did not retake
i Van, rumors of their approach struck '
terror to the hearts of the repatriatedj
Armenians who had been chased from'
their homes a year before. As stated ■
they fled to the Caucasus once more :
taking with them about 25,000 of their
countrymen from Mush and Bitlis, so
that we are at present confronted with
the problem of caring for about 55,- (
000.”
Mr. Gracey said that he wanted to
pay tribute to the work of the Ameri
can Red Cross in Persia. Its base is
at Khoi and a Dr. Hazlett, an Ameri
can. is in charge.
JAPAN TO HAVE TALLEST
CHIMNEY IX THE WORLD
TOK 10, Dec. 27. —Japan will have
the tallest chimney in the world. Down
on the east coast of Kqushu in the lit
tle village of Saginasaka, 15 miles
from Beuup, the great stack when
completed will be twelve feet higher
than the Washington monument is
gradually building under the superin
tendence of American engineers and
when finished will reach 567 feet in
the sky.
This towering pile is being con-’
structed for the Kuhara Mining Com-!
pany which is building a new copper
smelter.
The foundation is placed on the top
of a hill which rises 430 feet above the
level of the sea. From the seaside,
counting the altitude of the cliff, there
will be an almost straight rise Os j
about 1.000 feet to the summit of the i
stack. The construction of the chim
nev has been planned with a view- of i
giving it special qualities to resist
earthquakes. The chimney is now a
little past the 300 foot mark and is ex
pected to be completed by January 1.
The present highest chimney in the
world is at Great Falls. Montana, at a
smelter works. Its height is said to
Ibe 506 feet as against the 555 of the
W ashington monument.

H HIS HID M
INCREASEO WHICH,
NHL fOUD LAWS:
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 27.—That
increased vigilance on the part of of- j
frcials in charge of the enforcement of
the Food and Drugs Act is required by
conditions brought about by the Euro
pean war to prevent shipment into
the United States of adulterated and
misbranded foods and drugs is shown
by the report of the Chief of the Bu
reau of Chemistry, just published.
While the volume of imported foods
and drugs has decreased since the
outbreak of the war, the fariety of
grades has increased. Likewise the
number of shipments in proportion to
the quantity is larger, for it is now
necessary for imports to get from
many sources the supplies which pre
viously could be obtained from one
> place. One imported may bring in
> twenty small shipments all obtaMed in
• different places and of varying de
gree of purity where previously he
> would have brought in the same quan
tity in one shipment of uniform qual- I
ity. This makes it necessary for the (
inspectors to look out for and examine
twenty shipments instead of one.
The high price prevailing forcer- i
tain products which can be obtained
only from abroad, particularly spices |
and crude drugs, has increased the
temptation to adulterate. According
to the Chief Chemist's report ship
ments of coriander, fennel, celery, an
ise, cumin, Chinese and Indian mus
tard, senna leaves, cinchona, ipecac
and other products were found to be
adulterated and were denied entry in
( to this country. Many shipments of
medicines were found to be misbrand,
ed, the labels containing false or
fradulent claims as to the curative
powers, and such shipments were
detained until the misbranding was
I corrected. Among other articles of
food found to be in violation of the
, law may be metnioned decomposed to
mato pastes and products, spoiled sar
dines, wormy olives, olive oil. pepper,
macaroni and beverages. Special at
tention was given to milk imported
from Canada into the New England
states. There was a marked improve
, went in the wholesomeness of this
’ milk during the year owing to the
exclusion of shipments of cintaminat- 1
ed milk produced under insanitary
conditions.
Imported Artflees To Be Analyzed.
Branch laboratories are maintained I
I by the Bureau of Chemistry at the '
j principal ports of entry, such as New i
York, Boston, New Orleans, Philadel- j
pbia, San Francisco, and many others, '
ir order that analysis may be made of 1
samples of such shipments of foods i
and drugs offered for entry into this
I country as are suspected of being adul- ’
terated or misbranded. The inspec
tors scrutinize all invoices of food and
drug products that come to this coun- ,
try. The foreign shipper is required
to certify to certain facts regarding
bis food and drugs before a United
States consular oflicer, and these cer
ificates are attached to the invoices.
If the examination of the invoices and
1 accompanying certificates lead the
United States inspectors to suspect
that the foods are adulterated or mis
, branded, samples are taken for analys- i
is and shipments held until it has
been determined whether the goods
, are in violation of the law.
The import section of the Food and
Drugs Act, in addition to the require-;
. ments applied to domestic products, 1
provides that no goods or drugs shall ■
be admitted to this country which are
otherwise dangerous to the health of.
the pople of the United States or of a
kind forbidden entry into or forbidden
to be sold or restricted in sale in the
country in which they are made or
from which they are exported, or are
otherwise falsely labeled in bany re
spects. When goods offered for im
port are found to be in violation of
the law, the importer is notified and
given an opportunity to be heard be
fore the officers of the Department in
erder that he may present any evi
dence he desires as to why the goods
should not be denied entry into the
United States. After the hearing, if
the Department is still of the opinion'-
that the goods are in violation of the'
law because of adulteration, they are'
refused entry into this country; or, if
misbranded, they are required to be la
bgled correctly ’~efore being admitted.
All the work - >n imported foods and •
drugs is handled in cooperation with :
the customs officers of the Treasury
Department.
