naturally they couldn't even talk the

Then how did the police get on
that 1t was immoral?' Birsky asked.
Probably they sent a policeman

said. They've got such fellers on the
police force, Birsky. There Is even
policemen which can shake down
saloon keepers in every European Ian
guage, and Chinese and Hebrew, also,
Birsky, and besides, Birsky, what

"Well, maybe this here Oitermobile
concern says that they wouldn't pro-
mote nobody unless he becomes a sit
son." Birsky admitted.
"Even So" Birsky went on, my idee
/ is that a feller should become a sit

In my opinion, Servia and Bull

after the war and be one people in
spite of the silly hatred they now bear
each other, as England and Scotland
were bound to become one nation"

and author of several books and
many magazine contributions, speak

Of the Contemporary club at the resi-
dence Of Justice and Mrs. George
W. Wheeler. 115 Park avenue. Justice
Wheeler introduced the ointment lee
turer, speaking briefly of his career
as journalist. lawyer and author. He
told how, despite the fact that he had
been a resident for many years Of
Constantinople. and a friend of many
Of Turkeys leading men, even his
four score years did not prevent him
from being thrown into prison be-
cause he was an Englishman when
the country entered the present war
Under his topic What Constantine
pie has Done for the World and
Guesses as to its Future Sir Edwin
Pears, reviewed the history from it's
founding by Constantine. Justinian,
the road and bridge builder and law
giver, he said was it's greatest en-
peror. AS the road and bridge build
err, he did much for his empire but
it was as the law giver that he did
most for the world. He has given
more law, more just law, and more
who ever lived. Justinian's laws are
used today in every country of the
globe, and what is always referred
to as Roman law is not the law
Of old Rome bu. Of Justinian" His
laws were always favorable and just
to women.
1t was at Constantinople in 3S1 A..
D. that the Nicene creed, the great
creed OF the Christians, was put into
its present form, defining belief in one
God, and adopted. Here was defir-
iteIy drawn the line between the old
belief in many gods and the Chris
tan belief in one. The creed has
not since been changed.
Bulgaria, according to the speaker,
is the strongest and best educated
state Of Balkan people. The Bulsar-
fans are much better educated than
the Inhabitants Of the other states
and this is because they have taken
their lesson from America.
Macedonia he said, is the real cause
Of the present war, and Of the pres-
emit condition Of things in Turkey.
The lecturer traced the history Of
the revolutions in Turkey of 1909 and
said that the Mexican revolutions
weren't in it with these revolutions. :"
'"The Turk he concluded, 'is now
going to be the underdog, and the
question for us to answer, is Are we
going to repeat the same stupid meas
ures that the Turk himself used on
those he had conquered?' There will
be eight or nine millions OF Turks for
us to look after. But the English
and Americans have gained the repu-
tatfons of loving fair play and want
Ing to see real Justice done, so the
Turk need not fear that his own
methods will be used AGAINST him."

NEUTRAL PEACE
CONFERENCE is
SOUGHT ABROAD

Berlin, Nov. 18-A movement for
peace negotiations, according to re-
ports from 1.-THE Swiss frontier"
printed by the koelnische Zeitung, is
about to assume definite shape in the
form of a Joint call from various neu-
trail governments to the belligerents
asking them to send delegates to a
peace conference. The reports assert
that several European neutrals are
already in touch with the American
government and that various belliger-
ents have been sounded on the pro-
position Of conference.
According to this story the confer
ence would necessarily open it's sit
tings without an armistice Being pro-
claimed, interruption Of hostilities
coming only after it was established
that the negotiations were apt to be
crowned with success.
In authoritative official circles here
it is stated that no facts are known
upon which the Koelnische Zeitung
story could be based while it is con-
sidered not impossible that neutral
governments may be considering some
such step.
