MISSION WORKERS ESCAPE.
Have Thrilling Experience in Getting
Out Of Eastern War Zone.

Out Of Eastern War Zone.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Dec. 10.-A thrilling tale
of escape, from the English college at
Aintab, Doliches), Turkey, and from
that country itself is told by Ralph H.
Hill and wife, mission school workers,
compelled to leave Turkey when the
war necessitated the closing of the
school,
Mr.. Hill, who is a graduate of Cor
nell College, Mount Vernon, came to
Iowa City to address the Y. NJ. G.. A.
In the course Of his lecture he stated
that he ana Mrs. Hill left Aintab for
Aleppo on a military train which ar
rived late, and they feared they would
not be able to catch the boat the gov
eminent had assigned to meet them
and other Americans coming from the
interior of Turkey
At Aleppo they were arrested by the
head of the military forces, charged
with prom citing the Armenian conspir-
acy. After being searched they were
released and they went to Alexandria
to meet the United States warship Des
Moines This journey was covered in
twenty-six hours and 1t was necessary
to beat the driver and the horses to
accomplish it in time to catch the boat
They .traveled on the Des Moines to
Beirut and were then transferred tt
the Tennessee.
"The Turks said Mr. Hill. "are alb
solutely ignorant of what they are
fighting for. When they begin to train
soldiers it is necessary to show them
which is the right hand and which is
the left hand. Conditions are terrible
and the suffering can not be i'm
agined."

Des Moines. Dec. 10. - Profits are
small in the average orchard in Iowa
because the orchard receives little or
no care. This was the statement Of
Prof. R. s. Herrick, of Ames, in an ad-
dress to the state horticultural meet
ing yesterday.
The home orchard has no place in
the general routine work Of the farm"
he said Orchard management such
as spraying, pruning, and tillage is
seldom thought Of. These are some
of the reasons why orchards don't
pay"
He said the orchards which received
the proper care We're making their
owners from $50 to 500 per acre and
in some instances more than this.
Professor Herrick told of some of
the work the experimental station is
doing. In 1915 ten summer spraying
demonstrations were conducted and
1,130 trees weres prayed. The college
conducted a clearing house for apple
growers to help them dispose of their
apples. There were 11S apple growers
listed representing q total of 159,4S4
bushels of apples. There were LOB ap-
pie buyers listed.
C. G. Patten, who is in charge of
the experiment station at Charles City,
spoke on the subject of fruit breeding
in the last fifty years. Mr.. Patten has
developed the harder varieties adapted
to northern Iowa and other similar
ATTITUDES including the famous Patterns
Greening which has been afpopular ap-
pie for many years.
NJ. J. Wragg, of Des Moines, gave
considerable history on the develop
ment of the nursery industry in Iowa.
Other speakers yesterday were Charles
F. Gardner, of Usage; M. ]. Graham, Of

CECIL TANNING REVIEW

Mr.. Cecil Tanning, baritone, is
poet as well singer. He made his
first appearance in Topeka in concert
Friday afternoon at the Grand theatre,
and for one of his encore numbers he
recited a poem of his own authorship,
written while he was in Ireland about
two years ago. The lines made up
pretty little love lyric that some tone
poet should set to music for Mr.. Fan
ming to sing; for it is the sort of verse
that is well adapted to musical ex-
preston.
There are three characteristics of
Mr.. Fanning's singing that assert
themselves throughout his program.
They are: His dramatic expression,
which in cleverness and power far ex
ceeds that of the usual routined con-
cert singer; his excellent climaxes,
and his clearnesS of enunciation.
He began his program with a group
of German mum bers, well contrasted
in style and understandingly inter
preted. AS an encore number he sang
an Oriental song, set to Russian music
His second group included two Loewe
mum bers, both ancient ballads. Henry
the Fowler" and Edward the latter
offering ample opportunity for the
singers display of dramatic power.
Two folk songs from the old French
were given, as they were originally
sung, with action illustrating the lines.

One opera aria appeared on the pro-
gram. 1t was a Massenet selection
from 'Herodiade." The closing num-
bers comprised group of English
present day songs, one of which,
Mammys Song" was written espec-
tally for Mr.. Tanning, by Harriet
Ware. So well did the audience like
the number, that it was repeated as an
encore. Kiplings "Smuggler's Song"
set to music by Kernochan, was one
of the group. 1t seemed hardly in
kipling's, Kernochans or Fanning's
best vein. A musical setting by LizaLeh
mann for Goldsmith's Vicar of Wake
field, contains the song, The Mad
Dog" humorous number written in
a burlesque opera style, which was the
closing number of yesterdays program.
"A Perfect Day" and THE Kerry
Dance" were given as encores.
The program, pleasing in it's render
ing, was of simple character and
gave little opportunity for a display
of vocal pyrotechnics. 1t presented an
artist with a voice of good quality.
with a poetic temperament versatile
talent and engaging personality.
The accompanies, H. y. Turpin.
looked enough like John Drew to be
mistaken for him. In addition to his
duties as pianist, which he performed
creditably, he acted as spokesman for
the partnership and offered the ex-
PLANTATION of some of the songs. Bib.
