The Situation is complicated by the
general fact that the Christians are,

clash is coming sometime if the en-
pire lasts long enough.
The Greek Boycott.
Two recent happenings show the in
tensity of racial and&eligious feeling
on the part of the Turks The Cretan
troubles, and the attempts of the
Greeks TO take contro! 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 we'll 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 a 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 a pledge
not to attend the council the delegates
| We're released and the Greek patriarch
himself made formal submission and
apology to the government The
wound was deep one, however, to
Greek pride. and in some respects it

Pasqual was war-chief Of the Yuma

much Of it's course, runs through q

Pasqual had no idea of letting the
white man steal the most fertile parts
of his wide domain. So Quarrels
sprang up between settlers and saw

Accordingly, in 1S4S, Capt. Heintzel-

Turkish situation. This great empire
Is made up of diverse and conflicting
elements without any adequate ANAL

such as makes the creation of the

Almost every one in Turkey con-
fesses allegiance to some cause or

self. Patriotism is subordinated to
nationalism. Men are Turks or Greeks
or Armenians or Jews or Syrians or
Arabs first-and Ottomans afterwards.
Such congeries of dissimilar races
Is nowhere else closely gathered into
one empire. I fail to see how they
can ever possibly fuse. Each of these
peoples is proud of its own past and
intolerant of any program that does
not put it on top.
More Tongues Than at Pentecost.
In the streets of Constantinople one
commonly sees shop signs in five diff
ferent languages. French is supposed
to be the prevailing language of the
higher circles Of the CITY, Except for
the work of the missionary schools
the English tongue Is losing ground.
The German language is not making

CLIMBING TREE MADE EASY
Excellent Method for. Boys to j: Know
Who Arc Going Into Country Where
..: There 10 Least Danger. ~,,s =

Sometimes boy Is caught in pre-
dicament where climbing a tree will
help him out of his difficulty. But
few boys-those who live in city and
town-know how to climb tree. The
ordinary method of climbing q tree
is. by grasping hold of the lower
branches with firm hands, placing the
legs about the trees trunk and pull
fng up with the former and pushing
PIP with the latter. It's natures way
pr going up. But to climb the tall.
Ftraight tree which has no low
branches NOT rough bark, one must
use another and more scientific meth
Pd. Take rag or two handkerchiefs
tied together, or a towel-any such
thing that may be available-and at
each end tie securely a loop large
enough to admit of the foot, and
tight enough to prevent the foot from
slipping through. Then place the
towel or knotted-together kerchiefs
round the tree and put your feet into
the loops. The towels or rag used
should be long enough to go half
round the body OF the tree. and must
not be baggy or too long.
Now, having the towel round the tree
and your feet in the loops, you embrace
the trunk with your arms, raise your
legs, and, pressing the towel against
the trunk with your feet, stand in the
loops as though they were stirrups
Then raise the body and seize the
trunk higher up with the hands. Then.
holding fast with the hands, you raise
your legs again. drawing the foot-loops
upwards, repeating the process over
and over till you have gone as far up
the tree as you desire.
