CLIMATE OF ASIA MINOR
FAVORABLE FOR COTTON

BERLIN, April 23.-German COM
mercial observers who are attached to
the Turkish army in Asia Minor, re-
port that the climate of Asia Minor,
except in the uplands, is very favorable
for cotton cultivation, and all along
the line of the Bagdad railway, land is
being used for that purpose as far as
the water supply permits. Extensive
irrigation works have been started at
Adana and other places. and expert
ments in cotton growing in the prov
ince of Smyrna are said to have been
very successful. About fifty thousand
bales of Turkish cotton is reported to
have arrived at Budapest last year.
Ar. association Of German and Aus
TRAN cotton buyers has been formed to
assist in the development of the Turk
ish market, and it is hoped that when
the war is over the mills Of Germany
and Austria will be less dependent
than heretofore on the Liverpool and
American markets.

BE MADE EFFECTIVE IN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, Ca, April 23.-The Geor-
gia legislature at the regular session
next summer will have the distinction
of being the first in the South to pro-
vide the state machinery for receiving
and disbursing Georgia's share of the
federal appropriation under the Smith
Hughes act for vocational training.
This act, which was carried through
the senate by Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, and through the house by
Congressman Dudley M. Hughes, Of
Ills state, proyi les large appropria-
ton. which will increase from year to
year, TO aid the states in vocational
training,
III oder for Georgia to secure its
share of the appropriation 1t will be
necessary for the legislature to create
or designate board to receive and
disburse 1t. The amount to which
Georgia is entitled is one of the larg-
est of all the states in the South.
The modern trend in education is
devoting more and more attention to
vocational training which fits the
young man and young woman for the
work that suits them best.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 23.-The
battle of Arras, which promises to
rank in history as one of the pivotal
clashes of the World War, takes it's
name from one of the most interesting
of the smaller cities of northern
France" says war geography bulle-
tin issued today from the Washington
Headquarters of the National Geo
graphic Society. Situated ON the can
allied River Scarpe, 1877 miles north
of Paris and 81 miles south of Brus
sells via the French Northern Railway,
i is the chief town of the department
of Pas-deCalis, and before the war
was the most important grain market
in northrn France. Amiens is So
miles by rail to the southwest, and
Calais 50 miles to the northwest. The
surrounding territory is fertile plain,
with the Vimy ridge some six miles to
| the north.
"The history of Arras dates back be-
yond the Christian era when it was the
chief town of Gallo tribe known as
Atrebates. It was then known as
Nemetocenna, but its present name is
derived from that of the tribe, Traces
of the Roman period have been found
here but the Vandals. who destroyed
the place at the beginning of the 5th
century, did their work of obliteration
almost completely. The manufacture
of woolens was introduced here at an
carly date, however, and the town be-
gan to thrive again. For some centur-
les this was one of the centers of tap
estry weaving and in England the
term "arras" was applied to all richly
figured hangings.
An Early Charter.
"Arras boosted of charter as early
as 1880 and the instrument was adopt
ed as model by many of the neighbor-
ing communes. But this document did
rot protect the city against the raw
ages of hostile armies which swept
back and forth over this fertile region
throughout the middle ages. On one
occasion the citizens rose against the
garrison which had been installed
there by Louis XII. They succeeded
in driving out the soldiers of the
French king, but their victory was
short-lived, for the irate monarch sent
larger army against them, RACED the
{, walls, slew many of the inhabitants
and deported the remainder, sending
Frenchmen from other parts Of HIS
domain to occupy the town whose
very name was changed to Franchise.
Louis successor, Charles VIII, restor-
ed the place to its people and rechrist-
ened it Arras. Sometimes thereafter it
passed into German hands by the
treaty of Senlis but in 1910 was re-
stored to the French.
During the French Revolution Ar
ras suffered grievously, thanks TO the

Syndicate building in New York when
one of the Park Row tenants refused
to vacate or be bought from lease,
has been called into Bridgeport and
has already got under way the foun-
dation work.
Main street today presented an In
teresting picture as deep holes and
underpinning showed beside and be-
meath the two stores In question. A
70-foot boom is planted diectly be-
tween the two stores today which will
be utilized to swing material clear of
the stores.
The owners of the new building are
David Feuer, a provision merchant of
this city, and Harry Lapides, a metal
speculator of New Haven, who Is re-
puted to have made big fortune in
aluminium, which he Is rapidly in-
vesting in Bridgeport.
Local engineering firms whose rep
resentatives are closely watching the
operations of balancing and prepar-
ing to swing the stores in mid-air
without breaking the plate glass win
dows, declare that no similar feat has
ever been attempted in Connecticut.
The new building will be utilized
for office purposes and will be modern
in every feature.

DRAFT HITS HOME GUARD RANKS
so HARD that STATE WILL HOLD
new MUSTER OF EVERY COMPANY

Because of the serious effect OF the
draft upon the Home Guard ranks OF
the Fourth military district Including
Bridgeport, the military emergency
board has ordered re-musterdng Of the
entire Guard. TS
These orders have been TRANSMITTED
to commanders of the various COM

where in Fairfield county and ar
rangements are now being made to
re-muster every man in the Guard.
When first planned the Home Guard
was not to include men of military
age under the present draft regula-
Itfons, for the new National Army. AS
the enthusiasm of recruiting pro-
gressed the bars were let down and
a host OF younger men Joined the
ranks.
With the assurance that large quotas
would be taken into the National
Army from Bridgeport, there was a
hurrying and scurrying to get con1-
