MISSIONARY WRITES
FROM TURKISH EMPIRE

BOSTON, June 16.-Conditions In Turkey
are described as worse than ever In a letter
just received at the Christian Endeavor
headquarters In this city from Rev. Francis
E. Clark. d. D., president of the United
Society OF Christian Endeavor, written after
a stay of nine days In Turkey. DR.. Clark
writes:
Thirteen years ago I was in Turkey.
Things were bad enough then. but they are
worse now. more repressive. reactionary
and archaic. If ! should tell all I have
heard from reliable sources It would make
my readers blood boil as 1t has made mine
Crueities, fortunes. secret assassinations Of
Armenian and other Christians-these are
not things of the past, but are the horrible
facts Of the present year and month. Our
own missions and schools are in a more
perilous condition than ever, and since our
American fleet was withdrawn from
Smyrna with only the verbal assurances OF
the porte that our schools and churches
would have as many privileges a. those OF
other nations, these assurances have been
utterly repudiated and there seems no liksii-
hood OF Americans getting their rights until
another nsst visits Turkish watsrs."

ON GROWING WEALTH

CHICAGO. June 16-'If the possession OF
the most money is to denote the best man
IN America-and II looks very much as II
IL were-then a disregard of ethical dis
tinction is likely to become characteristic Of
the popular mind, for the suspicion Is rap
idly gathering In the average man that all
wealth is tainted" said the Rev. Judson
Ellsworth of Milwaukee in his address be-
fore the graduates OF the Chicago Art In
stltute yesterday.
THE greatest questions which society has
to handle today lie in great accumulations
or wealth. Wealth has become a new roy
atty. The throned potentate may nova
days have less power than the multimil-
ltonaire, whose father may have been a
laboring man. The artistocracy of wealth
is doing away with social distinction.
1.-THE line of success In life is not the line
which divides the successful from the 'un-
successful man. II we define success as
wealth. The distinction Is between making
a living and living life worth living"
Director French's annual statement called
attention to the change In the proportion OF
sexes in the school during the last fifteen
years. Fifteen years ago there were seven
times as many women as men studying
drawing and painting; five years ago there
were Ave times as many; during the last
year there have been twice as many. Tho
