Miss E, Gertrude Rogers, who was

had any word from her co-workers
in the mission field since last Febru-
airy. At that time a cable was re-
ceived at the American Mission
Board in Boston, announcing that at
the time all were we'll.
The mail service between Turkey
and this country is interfered with on
account of the war and in Conse-
auence very little is heard from those
who decided to remain and continue
the mission.
The unusually long silence of the
workers at the missions in Turkey is
cause for worry on the part Of some
Of the friends of the missionaries.
There is a big mission station and
school for the education of native
children, at Van. 1t was in this re-
gion of Turkey that Rev. D. Minor
Rogers, brother of Miss Rogers, was
killed while engaged in his Christian
work. Because Of the large interests
Of the mission at this point some of
the workers decided to remain there,
despite the war.

Curiosity Calls

Calls for the Correct Time

In wartime any unexpected happen
ing like the tollng of BELLS an explosion,
large fire, OF the blowing of whistles leads
to many excited inquiries over the phone
concerning the disturbance Such inaur-
les are serious burden to the Telephone
Service, and in some cases they delay real
emergency calls for physicians, an,bu-
Iances etc.
For your own protection and for the
protection Of others we must ask that you
do not call the operator for such Informal
ton On these occasions.
We also find it necessary to request
that you refrain from calling for the cor
rect time. This is another wartime bur-
den from which the operators of many
cities have already been relieved, and it is
for the good Of the service that the regula-
ton is made effective in Alexandria.
