Armenians dispute Turkish claims on population in eastern provinces
Vahan Cardashian of the American committee for Armenian independence counters a Constantinople dispatch by Damad Ferid Pasha. He argues that Van Bitlis Erzerum provinces held far more Armenians than Turks and that many Armenians have fled to the Armenian republic. He alleges most Turkish leaders are of foreign origin and cites 33 grand viziers, 17 of foreign extraction, up to 1909.

Early wheat stands 10 to 12 inches high, alfalfa ready for first cut, and fodder crops like millet corn and sunflowers expanding as flax acreage looks higher than earlier estimates.
