This has been con- structed with funds given by John D. Rockefeller at cost of $100,000. The dedication of these buildings marks an era in the history of higher edu- cation for women in the near east. It is forty years since the school of which Constantinople college is the outgrowth was founded During this time the attitude of the Ottoman gov

 Constantinople, May, 27.-Constan- tinople college, in which many rich Americans are interested, dedicates on June five new buildings on it's new property at Arnautkeuy, on the European shores. of the Bosphorus.

ADVOCATES INCREASE IN FOREIGN CoMNERCE
Fairfax Harrison Points Out IFfegu- larity of U. $. Manufacturers Re- <
 garding European Trade.

Washington, May 27-The Eimpor- tance of foreign trade to, the railroads was discussed at the National Foreign Trade convention here today By Fair fax Harrison, president of the south ern Railway, who said that there was no doubt of the eagerness of trans- portation lines, both stean anship and railway to afford ample Service ' in the building up of a foreign trade, but the present difficultyi was the fr- turers of the United States Took <np, the invasion of foreign markets. tt'.
 "Our home market is so large he said, that, as to the producers of many manufactured articles, 1t Is dir- ficult to interest them in export bus mess, except as an outlet for surplus production during times of depression in the United States. Service to foreign markets cannot be provided merely to meet such contingencies nor can trade relations be established upon such an uncertain footing. The wiser course would seem to be for our manufacturers to seek the devel- opment of permanent and regular ex- port trade as supplementary to their business in the United States, Then. if at any time their home deE mand should decline, they will he better protected in the maintenance of organization and output nd will be better prepared to take advantage of trade conditions in other countries, which are frequently the reverse or our own"
 He pointed out that the railways were making efforts to bring about an increase in foreign commerce and as an instance. he cited the action or the Southern railway in appointing a South American agent" a man who was for long time in the consular service in oSuth America and whose sole business was to be the building up of export traffic to Central and
 South American countries through the southern ports, by interesting merchants and manufa cturers in the possibilities of such trade. ..

WHAT OUR NE|GHBORs SAY
Treasurer's Explanation Declared In
conclusivc-Bad Exposure of Com
paDy's LOSSES.
(rrom the Rutland Herald)


Mr.. Deavitts explanation" of his re-
lations with Governor Fletcher in re-
gard to the bond of the State treas
erer reads like brief for the Ameri-
can Fidelity company. It can readily
be understood that a Vermont official
might go softly where a Vermont fl
nancial institution Is concerned but it
is reasonably certain that he has done
the concern more harm by his refusal
to give the governor a new bond than
by accedinE to the original request.
There should, 1t seems to the Herald,
be but one Judge of the suffcency of
benefit 1t is written. In this case it is
the people of the state who are sup
posed to be secured by tho treasurer's
bond, represented by the governor of the
state. If the governor, for any reason.
considers the bond insufficient it ought
to be the unquestioned duty of the
treasurer to furnish one that is.
Mr.. Deavitt is hardly a good attor-
ney for his bondsman when he admits
the serious losses and resulting finan-
cial problems in which the company be-
came involved. neither does he success
fully dispose of the governors allega-
| lions of suppression of material facts
when the bond was submitted for APP
prevail There is n considerable hiatus
| between the statements of the two Of
| ficials, with an excellent opportunity for
! a conflict of veracity.
Found an impairment of capital and
cancelled practically one-half OF the
| shares of capital stock" are hardly the
terms one might apply to a company
whose sufficiency on a 10000 bond Is
| in question, while the treasurer's YER
sion of what happened between him and
the governor is to say the least incon-
elusive. He says
II am not able to recall all the matters
discussed but I gave the governor the
fullest information concerning what
supposed to be material facts and In q
frank and direct manner and all I car
| say Is that whatever statements l made
to him We're true"
! The statement touches very lightly or
the opinion of the attorney-general. which
promulgated the remarkable theory thai
once the bond of a state official hac
been approved and filed, a new bono
could not be successfully demanded, al
opinion, by the way, that neither Mr.
Deavitt nor Mr.. Brown seem willing tC
give out for publication.
If the attorney-generals opinion is gooc
law, it certainly ought to have the Of
fetal confirmation of the Supreme cour
and then be amended. as the PROPOSE
ton that a bond cannot be recalled II
case of misrepresentation, fraud or In
sufficiency is manifestly absurd

Frank r. Wells, who has thus COM
bined public spirit and the incubation
of the lessons of patriotism with the
promotion of the artistic in chseled

Connection with this nations conflicts.
was fitting that this memorial of a

national colors which enveloped 1t on
that sacred day when we decorate the

Of flowers. and again raise over their
precious dust the flag for which they
sacrificed their health and lives, and pay
tribute to their services in preserving this
