The Christian community, which rep
resents many denominations Of the
older churches, stand solidly together
Ia 3 conviction Of a p9ssible repeu'
ton Of the massacres. At Adana /
had an interview with the leaders OF
the orthodox Greek church, the Greek
Catholic church, the Armenian Cath
Ollie church, the Gregorian Armenian
church and the old Syriac church, and
they were a unit in declaring that the
attitude Of Islam toward Christians
has not changed. and that the worst
is still possible, although they have
confidence in the good intentions OF
the present Governor. Even the Rev.
W. N. Chambers, the American Board
missionary, who has been the fore
most figure in events subsequent to
the massacres, and is easily the lead
or of the community, is under the
game cloud of depression. Small Won
der, when he recalls the murdered
friends who died is his arms, and the
bodies which he rescued from mutila-
ton.
The argument for the possibility
Of another massacre lies in the fact
that there has been no change in the
minds Of the people. The Moslems
have not been made over by the pun
ishment Of an inconspicuous few Of
their number. They still look upon
the Christians with antipathy. The
village Moslem children cry at their
Christian playmates: II am going tt

TOWN.

CITY BUILDING IN GERMANY
There Town Planning Has Become q
Science, With an Eye Always
to the Future.

No cities in the modern world com
pare with those which have arisen in
Germany during the past twenty ears.
There are none in Great Britain, from
which country official delegations are
constantly crossing the North Sea to
study the achievements Of the Ger
man city. There are none in France.
in which country the building OF cities
has made but little progress since the
achievements of Baron Haussman
made Paris the beautiful city that
1t is.
In city building, as in other matters,
all science Is the handmaiden OF poi
tiles. The engineer and the architect.
the artist and the expert In hygiene
are alike called upon to contribute TO
the city's making. The German. cities
are thinking of tomorrow as well al
of today, of the generations to follow
as well as the generation that is now
upon the stage. Germany alone e
the city as the center of the civiliza-
ton of the future, and Germany alone
is building her cities so as to make
them contribute to the happiness,
health, and well-being Of the people.
In city building, as in other things.
Germany calls in her experts. II they
do not already exist she creates them.
Town planning has become a science.
just as much a science as the building
of engines. And it Is treated as SUCH
A school has recently been opened In
Berlin devoted to the subject. Exhi-
bition Of things municipal and. ON
crosses Of various kinds are promoted.
An exhibition Of town planning and
city building is being held in Berlin
this year, from May to July. There's
has grown up a substantial ~literatures
on city building. There are experts
like Stubben, Fisher, Gurlett and Bau-
meister, who go from city to city and
consult with the local authorities on
their projects. Nothing is haphazard.
Nothing is left to chance. The get
rich-speculator and the jerry builder
are subordinated to the will of tho
community acting through its perma-
nent and expert body Of city officials.

some architects planned a sort Of Col

long ways off from being big enough
for either department and doesn't
match anything in the government
building line in Washington. After this
structure was put up there was a re-
form In ideas for government build
ings. and since then they have been
along the stately, substantial line. The
finest recent examples Of these are
found in the splendid white marble
buildings constructed for the house and
senate Office buildings, which have for
the central figure the beautiful white
marble national capitol. with the con-.
gressional library and its gilded dome
in tho foreground.

It is problem that has now assumed

Does the state of Illinois offer bountes
