general fact that the Christians are,
as class, more efficient and prosper
Gus that the Turks. Deprive him of his
official privileges and pre-eminence,
and the Turk is in bad way. Aside
from his military virtues he has not
been a CONSPICUOUS success. Chris
tian scoffers point to the Turks lack
of efficiency in the arts and sciences.
He rules them, but they despise him.
A clash is coming sometime if the en-
pire lasts long enough.
The Greek Boycott.
Two recent happenings show the in
tensity of racial and religious feeling
on the part of the Turks. The Cretan
troubles, and the attempts OF the
Greeks to take control OF that island,
brought the two nations to the verge
of war. The indignation of the
Turks against the Greeks took the
form of boycott against all Greeks,
Ottoman as well as Hellenistic. Mos
lens will not patronize Greeks any
where in the empire, and as the
Greeks are pre-eminently a merchant
class, the effect has been serious.
Moslem hamals, or coolies, refuse to
carry freight to Greek ships, and at
the moment there are several vessels
flying the Greek flag lying in the
Smyrna harbor with empty holds.
The boycott up to date has cost
millions of pounds. OF course it af-
fects Turkish individuals and firms
also, and Greeks have spoken bitterly
to me of the short-sightedness of the
Turkish government that would per-
NIT such a suicidal policy. To this day
the boycott Is on in undated rigor,
and as it is directed in large part
against the Turks own fellow Otto
mans it rather gives the lie to the
sentiment of fraternity of which
awakened Turkey has been so fond.
A second great grievance the
Greeks have against the government.
Some weeks ago national assembly
of the Ottoman Greek church was
called to meet In Constantinople.
Doubtless it intended to discuss ma
tional as we'll as religious affairs, and
| the political situation here is too crit
ical to endure much discussion. The
| government forbade the Patriarch to
hold the assembly. The delegates
| were on their way, however, and as
they arrived at the meeting place they
were arrested, one after another, by
| Turkish soldiers. OF course this was
rather-high handed, just as If the
American government had sent troops
to gather in all the delegates to a
Methodist General conference.
AS soon as they had taken pledge
not to attend the council the delegates
were released and the Greek patriarch

WELSH DOCTORS BAR LIQUOR
Pledge Themselves Not to Sanction
Its Use In Case OF Dseaae-Un-
necessary for Good Health.


At meeting Of the North Wales
Temperance federation it was an
nounced that the federation had OBJ
tanned the signatures OF 100 doctors
practicing in North Wares to the fed
eration's temperance manifesto.
Among those who indorse the mani.
festo are "a medical officers of health
and IL have the diploma of inspector
Of public health.
The fact, said the president, that
100 medical men in North Wales had
signed the manifesto was an indica-
ton of the great advance of public
opinion on the question: and 1t was
bound to make deep impression
upon the sentiment of the country in
the near future. The evidence which
they now had as temperance reform
ers OF the direct relation between the
cost OF spirits and the amount con-
sumed, and the effect Of the financial
provisions of the budget upon the
consumption of spirits in the country
was very important, as was the proof
OF the relation between the consump-
ton of liquor and the moral conduct
OF the people and public order. He
hoped the federation would in the
near future be able to do a great deal
more for the uplifting of the people
in North Wales through the means of
temperance in the best and widest
sense of that word, not merely con
lining themselves to total abstinence,
but taking advantage of every infiu-
ence which made for the sobriety of
the nation.
The following is the text of the
manifesto
Recognizing the very serious injury
to the national health caused by the
present-day extensive oyer-indulgence
in the various forms of alcoholic
drinks; recognizing also the habit of
over-indulgence is seldom, if ever,
suddenly acquired, but grows gradu-
ally out of what is considered to be
a moderate use, and generally in the
belief that such moderate use pro-
notes health, increases the power of
work, and prolongs life; convinced,
moreover, that this belief is danger
Gus delusion, and one which the pro-
longed observation and exact expert
ments of scientific men have con-
clusively proved to be so; we. the
undersigned, appeal to all our medi-
cal brethren in North, Wales to join
with us in an endeayor to discounte-
nance the various popular errors that
still largely prevail upon the subject
We appeal to them especially not to
give. or even seem TT give. the sane
ton of thaiz 2rofSssilk y authority to
any general employment OF alcoholic
drinks in case of disease. We believe
that these drinks are not necessary
for the promotion of health; they do
not increase, but, on the contrary, i'm
pair physical and mental efficiency:
that they do not prolong life

one of the factors which have brought

By an individual celebration on the

the speech which every married man

PLEASING DANCE

One of the most beautiful dances
ever seen on a Wilmington stage was
the artistic dance" given by little
Misses Glare and Louise Mcguire, pri-
vate pupils Of Miss Marian McEwen at
the recent entertainments given by
the pupils OF No . school
The pretty dainty little children,
with draperies of pale pink and blue
futtering as they danced, we're like
rose petals whirling in a summer
breeze, or like butterflies fitting
gracefully and lightly from flower to
flower. They we're the personification
of the Joyous summer, and their true
art was shown IN the fact that the
audience did not once think of the
physical effort involved in the compli-
Gated evolutions but was lost in enjoy
ment Of their beauty.
Nevertheless. it meant hard work
and repeated rehearsals for the chill
dren. It was wonderful that such
Young children could give the dance
with the perfect easy mastery Of a
professional Russian dancer And
their lack Of self-consciousness. al
though they we're new to the stage,
was a crowning charm that is often
lacking in children's, or grown-up's
public appearances
