RIOTS IN TURKS CAPITAL
Rulers Reported TO Have Lost Sup

Naples, July I9-A number of
Turkish refugees who arrived here
Saturday state that conditions in
Constantinople are growing worse
daily. The Young Turks have lost
the support and sympathy of the
population, they declare, and are try
ing to regain it by the announcement
of victories over the Allies. The
price Of commodities has become pro-
hibitive and riots have occurred which
were quelled only after bloodshed.
The neutral diplomatic representa-
tives are doing their utmost to pre-
vent the persecution of foreigners.
Missionaries are leaving daily, as an
ti-Christian outbreaks are feared.
Cairo, July 19--A European at Con
stantinople reports that there are
nearly $4,000 wounded at ConstantI-
noplc besides those in Adrianopie,
Smyrna, Dardanelles and Sea of Mar
mora ports. The proportion OF killed
among the Turks is high. On the 9th"
other hand, sanitary conditions among
the troops are good, although cases
of tetanus are not infrequent among
the wounded. The heavy casualty
lists appear to be the only cause Of
anxiety at the Porte. To fill the gaps
in the Gallipoli army nearly all o1
the Constantinople police and gen
darmerie have been sent to the 'front.'

What the Duke Said.

The duke of Wellington, of course,
never said "Up, guards, and at em!"
at Waterloo, but is it generally known
how near he came to saying it? Sir
Herbert Maxwell, in his biography of
the duke, points out what is the prob
able origin of the pleasing legend. Late
on the afternoon of that memorable
June is the First and Second Battal-
ions of the Third Chasseurs were
foremost in the attack on Mont Saint
Jean. They had reached crossroad,
unaware that the British troops were
lying behind the wayside banks, ac-
cording to orders, to remain prone
when under fire, but not actually en-
gagged. Then, at the proper moment.
Wellingtons voice was heard, clear
above the storm" Stand up, guards!"
II was Maitland's brigade of Guards
that thus stood up" and, with vic
torious rush. swept the chasseurs out

DIFFER IN SLIGHT DEGREE |
Words Possession" and "obsession"
Really Have Very Much the Same
Meaning, According to Authority.

Possess and obsess are etymologic
ally related, but usage has given them
slightly different meanings. Both are
from the Latin, and the second syl-
liable of both, sess, is from sedere, to
sit; therefore a session is a sitting;
but possession is to sit before or near
a thing as owning it, and obsession is
to be sat upon by 1t. This is not very
illuminative, but it serves to mark
different shades of meaning. Yet the
two words are so nearly synonymous
that both have been used to describe
the persecution of human body by
an evil spirit, though possession means
operating from within and obession
from without. The Bible speaks of
those who were possessed with devils,
and the Oxford dictionary gives one
of the definitions of obsession as "the
hostile action of the devil, or an evil
spirit besetting anyone; actuation by
the devil or an evil spirit from with
out" But while the authorities recog
nize a technical difference between
possession and obsession as relating
to the devils operations from within
or from the outside, they do not diff
ferentiate the moral results of the
cases. Etymologically speaking, there
is shade of difference between the
two words, but the chronological diff
ference is only skin deep. while, NOR
ally speaking there is little or no diff
ference between being operated by the
devil from within or worked by him
from the outside. In quoting some ex-
amples of the use of obsession as re-
lating to evil spirits, the Oxford die
tionary remarks that, These cases
belong rather to obsession than pos
session, the spirits not actually inhab
iting the bodies. but hanging or how
ering about them" Leaving the devil
out of the case entirely and coming to
ordinary affairs it may be said that
while obsess and possess are different
in some meanings they are synony-
nous in others.

DANGER IN FOOLISH CUSTOM
Those Who Bite PenhoIders in Public
Use Are Hereby Warned of
Possible Infection.

That the penholder, such as most of
Us frequently use in hotels, post Of
fees, banks and other public writing
rooms may be as deadly carrier of
disease germs as the roller towel and
public drinking cup, is the suspicion
for which the boards of health be-
lieve they have found ample grounds.
The next time you use one of these
public penholders you will notice, if
you examine it carefully, that the
wooden handle is covered with little
dents. These dents are the imprint
of the teeth of persons who have used
the pen before you; ana as the mouth
is the favorite port of entry for dis
ease each dent is usually full of mi.
crobes.
To expose yourself to sickness and
death. therefore, all you need to do
is to bite on the penholder. Every
time you do this, you take into your
mouth the germs which scores OF
other persons have left by similar
bites.
Health officials plan to secure legis
lation abolishing the public penhold
er. In the meantime they urge the
public to try to break itself of the al
most universal habit of holding a pen
in ones. mouth while folding letter
or blotting check.

WHERE LITTLE MEN WIN OUT
