DIR. KIM ball states that she did not say
at ChickerinR hall or at any other place
that the English flag is the only one re-
spected in Turkey, or that the American
flag is not respected. She declares that
what she did say Is that in the interior
where most of the missionaries work.
the British flag is the one to which they
look for protection. The dependence
upon Great Britain is not because of any
lack of respect for the American flag on
the part of the Turkish government, bnt
it is because we have no consuls in the
interior.

her eighth straight game in the Maine
polo league tonight by defeating Port
land by one goal in the best contested
game seen here. The two teams were
very evenly matched, Rockland excelling
in team work if anything. Maynard
wasa perfect stonewan at half back and
played the game of his life. Ths home
team played in hard luck the first two
periods, caging the ball as many as six
times, only to have it bounce out again.
1t was anybody's game until the last
second and Portland got liberal applause
in spite of the evident trend of the au-
dience's sympathies. Lee was almost
