We were all pretty adept at putting on our masks at the first gas alarm, but mustard gas clings to the ground and. you don't know you are in it until your lungs begin to feel like they are caving in.

How It Feels To Be Gassed. "That was the way I felt when it got me. I had just time enough to. throw away my pack before I keeled over. Pretty soon stretcher bearers came along and got me.

They kept sending me further and further south until I was nearly in Spain, as a cure for the gas poisonings Pretty soon I found myself in a casual company bound for home; and, although we were seasick the first two days out in-the Bay of Biscay, it was the happiest time of our lives."

How he- saw his comrade's legs sticking but of the ground after the explosion of a shell and, rushing to dig him out, discovered that the remaimder of the body had been blown tg atoms, was told last night by Clarence J. Smith, a mem-ber of the Three Hundred and Thirteenth infantry, the first of a number of Relay boys in France to return home.

Smith was gassed in. the Argonne Forest and invalided back to Newport News, making a sudden appearance at home yesterday as. a surprise to his parents, Mr. and Mrsi J. 'Albert Smith.

He was in the employ of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for a number of years and has a number or friends in the Central Build timent in this country which says 'Let them fight it out among The majority are not in favor of the Bolsheviki, but the Reds have the guns and the money now. What can a starving, weaponless people do? Why, when we left Russia last winter we paid $2.50 in American money for one little piece of hard, black bread. 1 "We have come to speak for the nations of "what is called the Near1 East, for Persia, a part of Russia, Egypt, Syria and even Turkey. They are starving there. You cannot understand the misery here in well-fed The Turks are lazy, they never tilled the soil but the Armenians did so many of their young men are killed.

The women are dazed by the "horrors which are egged on by the Germans. Turkish atrocities in Armenia were as bad," if not worse, than German atrocities in Belgium. If we can only get them through the winter they will be all right. It is a rich, fertile country, but they must wait for spring. They are a brave people and hey fought bravely, and then the treaty of -Brest-Litovsk took from them all for which, they had fought.

The Peace Conference should give it back to them. "In Russian Armenia there is how a republic. We want the Peace Conference to give us our old lands, Persian Armenia and Turkish Armenia, which stretched from the Caspian to the Mediterranean. If we can have that and live in peace we have a great future. You in the west do not seem to realize that we have among us great inventors, painters and scholars.

But it is for food that I am begging now, food to carry the peoples of the Near East through the winter." After the Russian revolution General and Lady Azgapetian had to flee for their lives. They almost died of starvation and exposure. They passed through towns where the Red Guard, were shooting people right and left for no better cause than a drunken whim.

"It seemed that we hadn't been over there any time," he said, "when we found ourselves- in the front-line trenches. Then things began to happen.

The first night the Germans bombarded us with high explosive shells from 8 o'clock until 11.30. The first man to be killed in my outfit Company -was in the same section with me. He was a Baltimore boy, so I will not mention his name on account of his relatives. A shell came over and hit him, but did not kill him. Some of the fellows who were near picked 'him up and began to carry him back.

Just then another shell landed near them and the concussion knocked his rescuers flat. All' we 'could see then was his knees, apparently sticking out of. the ground. We started to dig him out but discovered that, the shell had made a direct hit and there was" nothing 'left but his" lower legs.

"I wish to correct the impression that the Armenians are a poor, weak people, worthy only of pity," said Gen. Mesrop Newton Azgapetian yesterday.

General Azgapetian is an Armenian, born in Constantinople, was secretary of the Persian Embassy at Washington, is now a citizen of the United States- and has been a General in the Russian Army of the Caucasas since the beginning of war. With his wife, who, has been his companion as a Red Cross nurse he is making a tour of the country speaking for the American Committee for Relief in the Far East; "We are not a nation of weak, spineless who have suffered, without protest, years of persecution. -We are warriors, but we have: been fighting against overwhelming odds. We have been as unable to defend ourselves as the Belgians, not because we could not fight, but because always the odds have been so bitterly against us. Do you know that when the European war began Russia called for Armenian Volunteers, and that 200.000 Armenians answered the call? There were 10,000 in the American -Army, 12,000 in the British and 15,000 in the French.

Like the Jews, we are a. scattered people, but we came from the ends of the earth to fight the Turks. The Armenians were the last to leave Baku. "We are such fighters that in the East Missionaries call us the Iresti of the near east," broke in Lady Azgapetian. It is impossible to interview General Azgapetian without interviewing his wife.

For she is his partner in every sense of the word. She followed him, as a Red Cross nurse, as near the battle line as rules permitted all through the terrible campaign of the Caucasus. Lady Azgapetian, who is a Lithuanian by birth, possesses singular beauty and charm. Dressed in the field costume of a Russian Red Cross nurse, she bears a haunting likeness to that symbolic picture of the Red Cross', great mother, holding a wounded soldier in her arms. Lady Azgapetian is heart and soul in her husband's cause, which is that of Armenia.

Her eyes flash when she speaks of what the Turks have done to her kin, and even more when she speaks of the Bolsheviki. "When I heard what the Turks had done' iff my own Lithuania to my owTn people I could not stay here. They took my poor little grandmother, a very, very old lady, and they locked her up and so starved and mistreated her that she died there in prison. They destroyed my home and all the country about it and when I heard that, and when my husband decided to join the Russian Army to help, fight back our enemies I had to go too, although I was educated here and have lived here a number of years. The two years that my husband served in the Army of the Caucasus with the Grand Duke Nicholas I was with him all the time as a Red Cross nurse.

"And then the Bolsheviki got in power, the army was demobilized and we had to flee for our lives. I cannot bear to hear anyone speak well of the Bolsheviki. They are cruel, terrible people. I myself saw them throw a Red Cross nurse, who would not tolerate their insults, from a fourth-story window, All the rest of Russia is starving and they are living-on the fat of, the land. What kind of socialism is it where criminals become rich by "theft? Trotzky is a wealthy man.

If he is a Socialist why does 'he not relieve starving Russia?" "But it is not of Russia that we have come to talk," said the General. "Her plight is dreadful and I deplore the sen-r; fx their debutante daughter, Miss Elizabeth S. Itumsey. LIEUTENANT and Mrs. John E.

THE GRAND is the highest form of piano construction. The BABY Grand its highest development. The Virginal, the Clavichord. the Harpsichord, the Spinet, and even the Square of our grandmothers are forerunners in the evolution of the Grand. Skilled musicians have al-waya preferred the Grand, as tbey do tod3y.

But until the last few years, the Grand has been so large and cumbersome it could be used only in the largest music rooms or for concert The manufacturers of these Baby Grands build pianos in no other form. They are the largest and only1 exclusive builders of Baby Grands in the world. They have brought the small, or so-called Baby Grand to its highest development. And it is to demonstrate the the superiority of the Grand, over all other forms of the that bought 25 of their latest models (the small- -est Grand Piano made) to distribute through this Educational Sale, to music lovers of this city who have longed to enjoy the matchless tone of a Grand but whose music rooms were too small to accommo- date it. Write for a pattern In order that you may know how easily a Baby Grand of this size may be used in your home, we have had tissue paper patterns made of an exact size and Ehape of these-peerless little instruments.

We will be glad to mail you one of these, which upon receipt you can lay upon your floor and readily see how conveniently one can be placed in the space you have in mind for a Baby Grand. Drop us a card at once. The Instruments are guaranteed without reserve for .5 years from date of purchase. As a matter of special protection to purchasers, the soundboard is guaranteed also. Each instrument contains the patented "Tone Expander." Five hundred and fifty dollars ($550) is the CASH PRICE for these wonderful little instruments, though anyone desiring may make such terms as they wish (within reason, of course) by simply adding interest for the time taken: Twenty-five dollars cash, with 3 years' time to pay the balance, will be satisfactory.

Plana To Welcome Soldier Home. The B. and O. Auditor Departments But purchasing 25 of these masterful little Brambach Grands, and bringing them here, not as merchandise that is bought and sold, but for the specific purpose of demonstrating the superiority of the Grand and promoting a deeper interest in music in the home, is creating a tremendous lot of talk in music circles. Musicians, pianists and music lovers generally have been in the store in numbers and all, without exception," declare that these are the most remarkable pianos they have ever seen or played upon.
