LEEDS MURDER 1, I Evidence at Inquest. I I Mrs. Marian Beatrice Hopkins, of Bath. gave evidence at the resumed inquest (n Mr. Edward Turenne Oates, the Leeds bank manager who was shot dead in the Servia-road branch of the Yorkshire Penny Bank.

COAL CONSERVING. I
COAL CONSERVING. I Departmental Misunder- standing. There appears to be some misonder- atan .ling between Government Depart- ments as to t lie order for refusing clear- ance J1 to coal for export before Christ- mas. The. Coal Mines Department issued the order referred to, but the Customs authoiitaoj .'re c1¡;.dlèl1ÚU¡¡ it, SIR A. G EDD,S',S IGNORANCE. I Apart from the fact that Sir Auckland Geddes yesterday declared to a London correspondent that he knew nothing of :he embargo, it is pointed out that the coal, if exported, would realise anything f¡ om to 105s. per ton f.o. b., but the action of the Controller in diverting such cargoes to n home port would bring the coal under the provisions either .of the Price of Coal Limita^'on Act, or,, if consumed as bunker^, under the recent Order limiting prices to the maximum of 14)z. per ton. Any loss ftistained as the result of the selling of the coal at tlle much lower price than Ukk which would have been paid by the foreign buyer would, as already indicated, fall \I po the State, which controls the finances of all ev>U:err undertaking's. • local posmow^ The position at Swurisen is uncertain, but. even ;f the Coal Mines Department Order is to be carried out, it is net. likely to affect the. port very much, as it will nrolxtbly 'not- ;ipplv to anthracite. „„,

I I ARMENIA.I ! - I
ARMENIA. I I Desperate Plight of People. The Armenian Information Bureau in Paris states that Col. Rhea, representing Col. Haskell, the Allied Commissioner in ¡ Armenia, bus addressed the following 'letter to the officer in command of tho Nakitcheman Division, and the Maho- metan National Council A. represen- tative of "the H igh Commissioner of the Allied Powers, I have the honour to in- form yo* that for the preservation "f ,)C-40e ln\lc regions of Nakitchevan and Charonr, the Governments of Azerbaijan and Armenia have again to leave those regions provisionally under the adminis- tration of the Allies, conducted by an American Governor. Col. Edmond L. lielen, Engineer, of the United States Army, has been appointed Governor of them, and has taken up his jxist." The Bureau dso states that bands con- tinue to pillage the villages around Samsun and Trebizond. while land pirates are successfully carrying on their opera- tions along 11 io Black -Sea coast. As ti,t, result of this state of affairs, the small number of Armenians still (surviving in these regions have begun to migrate from them. In spite of the assurances given them, t hey do not caro to expose them- selves to the sufferings endured by their compatriots ixf 1913, pr?ferriMR prinltions and misery <? massacre. Most of the refugees are proceeding to the Caucasus where they have relatives, but so great are their numbers that it. will be ex- tremely difficult for them all to secure support through the winter. In Asia Minor generally the position of the Armenians is rendered more difficult, a? they ar" now Dilt on Jy not allowed to go to Constantinople or into Cilicia. but even t<j move from any one province to another. The reason for this prohibition is not known, but it certainly recalled the Hamidian regime and the Unionist J regime, under which the Armenians wen; similnrly condemned to immobility. Many who had sold rip everything with a view to migrating now find themselves in a most critical position.

ST. DUNSTAN'S. Correction of a Widespread Rumour To the Editor of the Caaforia Daily T.r 'i e, er I I Sir.-At a theatre the other evening I heard a. lady behind uie say, "J understand that St. Dunstan's is closing -at Christinas; how nice to feel that there arc no more blinded soldiers to be eared for! Sow. I am much afraid that this lady's idea is one very genefftfly entertained, and I deeply regret that it is ciiiito erroneous. It has no doubt arisen from the fact that ftt the end of this month we arc vacating tile ar?,t"lql 11011-?.0 (??

LARGE NUMBERS STILL COMING M, j}nn*tan'*« will begin the New Year with over 500 inmates, end it is a mcrt re- grettable fact that men are coming in to U8 iiojf ot a. rate which was scarcely ex- ceeded in the deadliest days of the. war. Why ? your readers will te;k. Simpiy be- cause in addition to those blinded, a-bout 2*5,000 men were discharged from the Army with very badly damaged eyesight. It is from this 23,000 that 8t. Dunstan's is still being recruitt-d. and I need Scarcely point out that if only a. eniil] percentage of them lost useful eight, a-s so taany are now losing it. St. Dnnsta-n's has still much to do. I have no feiar but tha t the generous sympathy of the public which has been so abundantly shown towards the blinded men, will continue to be manifested in a degree sufficient to enable them a11 to be trained with the conspicuous success which has attended the work of St. Diin^aii',? j,) the pat.
