was without incident He will remain
at Hazelhurst field for few days and
then will fly to Washington. He said he
would not attempt non stop flight

Weather Conditions Perfect.
Captain White said that the fyine
conditions he encountered were almost
perfect. Rains within the last AS hours
had cleared the atmosphere SO that for
q great part Of the trip be was able to
discard his compass and steer by eve,
altho more than two miles above the
earth.
No severe winds were encountered
and those that were met with were in
the flier's favor and served only to in
crease his speed.

QUENT STRIKES

BERLIN, June 24.-No longer
willing to take the responsibility
for the economic need and meal
culable suffering" caused by re-
peated strikes, leaders Of the old
Miners Union associations in the
Ruhr district have rendered their
designations. These men, most of
whom are majority socialists, have
bitterly opposed the strikes which
for weeks have been disrupting the
coal fields.
Strikes begin over the heads of
responsible leaders and against our
advice" the retiring officials say in
a statement accompanying their res
ignations and are not answerable
to our comrades.
"A large portion of our members
and officials are prevented from at
tending miners meetings and are
shouted down, cursed and threat
ened, while irresponsible word he
roes' work in the most senseless
manner for the destruction of our
association in order to attain their
political purposes, which lead to
economic and political anarchy and
prepare the ground for counter-revo-
luton opposition. They see in the
Srartacists their ally and peace
maker.
by strikes the number of work
less Germans has been doubled, in
dustry famed, hunger heightened,
food importation prevented, the eco
nomic, financial and political break
down of the German republic
brought into the near future, and
unionized discipline destroyed.
1--WE decline responsibility for all
that. Our conscience, our honor,
our past filled with sacrifices, and
out love of our comrades force us to
abandon definitely a path which
many of our members appear to be
taking"

GREEKS And SERBIANS LEARN
METHODS OF MODERN FARMER

SALONIKI, June 23.-Large con-
signments Of American agricultural
machinery have been unloaded here
for use in Macedonia. The motor
plows are badly needed on account
of the death of horses and lei
which the Bulgars carried off with
them. In the last six months the
American Red Cross has been in
structing Greeks and Serbs in the
use of modern farm machinery and
American methods of soil improve
ment and now farmers are being
given the opportunity to buy imple-
ments at advantageous prices.
King Alexander of Greece is
much interested in American farm
ing machinery. Recently a large
consignment of agricultural ma
chinery and implements arrived In
Athens from America. The consign-
ment comprised all classes of power
machinery and a considerable num-
Der of motor plows. King Alexan-
der viewed these plows at the Athens
botanical gardens. At his request
two or three of them were set to
work in an adjacent field, attracting
from first to last his special atten>
ton. Later these American ma
chimes and implements were exhib-
tied at the Zappeio,n, the large exhi-
bition building in Athens used dur
ing the war as a hospital. There
they were visited by landowners,

AR HAE GY IS
PASTIME OF
WILLIAM
OF COUNT BEN
TINCK

AMERONGEN, June PA re-
sumption of his former interest in
archaeology is one of the means
adopted recently by the former Ger
man emperor to keep his mind from
dwelling constantly on his position.
Professor Duerpfeld, one of the most
eminent psychologists of Germany,
came to join the Hohenzollern circle
q month or so ago and since his ar
rival has spent several hours almost
every afternoon in his former mon
arch's company.
Every phase of archaeological re-
search is discussed during these con-
versations, in the ourse of which
the professor entertains the exile
with details of the discoveries made
by him and his companions in Pales-
tine, Syria and other sections of the
Near East. The professor-is an old
companion Of HohenZoilern with
whom he spent some time on the
Island of Corfu, where the one-time
German ruler owned the Castle of
Achilleion.
Even at the dinner table archae-
ology is now the main subject of
conversation, for reference to the
war is tacitly taboo when the erst-
while emperor and his consort join
the family circle of the B%entincks.
On these occasions both Hohenzol-
lern and his immediate suite, in
Guiding the body physician, DR..
Forester and Professor D%uerpfeld,
wear military uniforms. The Ben
tincks, although some of the men,
bers of the family have the right
to wear uniforms, always appear in
civilian dress.
At present the entire suite except
the marshal of the court, Won Gan
tard, reside outside the castle either
in the village inns or in rented cot
tages.e All of them have full liberty
of movement about Holland, but
their appearance passes entirely I'M
noticed, as they never travel in uni
form.

COLORADO CONGRESSMAN PRO-
POSES RATE OF TEN DOL
LARS PER UNIT

WASHINGTON, d. c., June "a
to receive attention by the house
ways and means committee, under q
proposed tariff to protect the min
ing and milling of tungsten ores.
This measure was introduced by
Congressman Charles b. Undertake,
of Colorado, who asked for a tariff
of $40 per unit. Witnesses who APP
peared before the committee were
j. Fl. Holemes, a Colorado producer;
Roy McKenna, of the Vanadium Al
Toys company; A. II. Riddle, engi-
neer Of the u. S. tariff commission;
George Otis Smith. director geologi-
cal survey; Frank r. Hess, geOlo-
gist. U. S. geological survey, and
George II. Bailey, assistant secretary
American Mining Congress, who
spoke lin behalf of the entire tung-
stem industry. 1t was shown that
Chinese, Burmese and Bolivian tung-
stem would drive American pro-
ducers from the field unless domes-
tic ore is protected. High class
American miners can not compete
with coolie or Indian labor abroad.
Colorado, California and Nevada
produce 90 per cent of the tungsten
used in the U. S. A. A committee
of magnesite producers has just
closed a two day battle royal with
representatives of certain furnace
interests who attempted to show the
ways and lean committee that
Congressman Hadley's bill to pro-
tect American .magnesite should not
be adopted. The question OF Ameri-
canism as against American interests
in Austria was brought into the dis
cussion which furnished lively dra-
matte Incidents.
A discussion of zinc tariff is nov
proceeding.

TURKS VIEW With APPROVAL
u. S. AS POSSIBLE MANDATORY

PARIS, June 23.-The report thar
the United States has been urged
to the mandate for Constan-
tinople meets with general approval
there, writes an agent of the Red
Cross in the Turkish capital. 1t Is
welcomed as the ideal remedy for
an impossible situation, he adds.
Wherever an American wanders
in Constantinople Turks, Greeks and
Armenians impress it upon the
visitor that America will be well
coined with open arms, that America
will be trusted. At the Turkish for
eign office, the Sublime Porte, there
is open satisfaction at the report
that America will come in and clean
up, the Red Cross man continues.
THE Turk has been quick to ap-
%preciate what America has done for
his country since the armistice.
Everywhere one goes he sees Ameri-
can flags stuck into the bags of rice,
of flour and over stacks of canned
goods which the street merchants
have for sale. The American uni
form is not a familiar sight in the
streets or shops but whenever an
American army officer, Red Cross
officer or member of the Near East
commission is recognized Turks go
out of their way to express their
gratitude for Americas prompt dis
patch of food ships to CONSTANT
nople, which just before the armis-

The Greek government shipped a

TURKS RECONC|lEO

The faithful Turk does not visit the

siders it a foregone conclusion hat
st. Sophia will become a Christian
church as it was in the fifth II
sixth centuries. One cam always

the Turks. The faint MOSAIC of
Christ ABOVE the Mirab which has
been almost invisible for centuries
will be renewed and the mosiacs of
the apostles under the small dome
in the north end of the church also
will be restored. Turkish inscrip-
lions of all sorts will be torn down
and replaced by Christian symbols.
The DEVILS face in the marble
facings under the big dome and the
alleged impression in stone OF the
aand of "Memet, the Conqueror,"
also will be retained as a reminder
of the tenth of May, 1853, when
Memet climbed upon a heap OF
Christian corpses in the church Con-
stantine built and smote the wall
with his hand still bloody from the
bodies of the Christian slain.
An aged Englishman who has
lived in Constantinople for 80 years
predicts trouble when the Christians
take over ST. Sophia.
Il am going to stay at home that
day." he says. Dozens of people
will be suffocated in the crush and

been disarmed since the armistice.
There will be bloodshed that day"
There is a possibility that the con-
version of ST. Sophia for Christian
worship may meet with some oppos1-
ton from Great Britain. At present
there are many Indian troops in
Constantinople and if St. Sophia
should be taken from the Moslems
it is feared that dissatisfaction
among them might eventually have
its echo in India and other parts of
Islam.

"The present divided control in
Constantinople and the rumors con-
stantly reaching the Turkish capt.

Turks to believe that by playing one

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. June 20
Wyoming, long the oasis of this sec
ton of the west, will enter the ranks
of prohibition states on July 1. Sale
and manufacture of liquor within
the state will cease on that date
regardless of whether prohibition is
effective in the nation.
Under the terms of the constitu-
tional amendment adopted by the
voters at last November's election,
Wyoming would have gone dry jan
uary 1, 1920. When the legislature
met last January, however, it was
deemed advisable to put the state
law into effect July 1, this year, at
the same time that it appeared ma
tional war time prohibition would be
effective. A law was passed by the
legislature authorizing this.
In addition to the power placed by
state law in the hands of a state
prohibition commissioner, there will
be a law enforcement league, pri-
vately financed and privately oper-
ated to enforce the new law. This
league already has begun the work
of keeping Wyoming free of illegal
manufacture and sale of. liquor
after July 1.
State house gossip is that Fred
L. Crabbe, now superintendent of
the Wyoming an~ti-saloon league, will
be chosen prohibition commissioner.

AUSTRIANS FEAR
ITALIAN CLAIM
FOR TREASURE
BEFORE THE MIDDLE
AGES

VIENNA, June 24.-Italian claims
to ownership and restoration to
Italy of paintings and jewels in the
Vienna art collection seem to be dis
turbing the Viennese quite as much
as any other probable clause of the
peace treaty of st. Germain.
1t is understood that promises
have been made by the Austrian
delegates to the peace conference
that the collection shall be left in
tact, and the claims of Czechs and
Jugo-Slavs not granted. This posi-
ton is said to have been taken
restitution were once allowed it
would apply also to American and
English collections the origins of
which are shadowy, especially the
Greek treasures in London.
AS some Italian claims to paint
ings are based on the treaty between
Italy and Austria of 1866, it is
stated that Austria will demand pay
ment of two billion Ira unpaid by
the Italians although owed under
that treaty. 1t is said also that
Italy would welcome any honest re-
adjustment of collections of sculpt-
ures and paintings, wherever owned
and that Greece also favors this at
titude.
Some of Italy's claims date back
to the Middle Ages or earlier, as in
the case of the so-called Crown of
Charlemagne made by Italian gold
smiths, also the Imperial cape
made by Saracens for the Norman
Kings of Sicily and Cellini's golden
~saltcellar designed for Cardinal
Medici but cast for Francis, the
First, and later given by Charles,
the Ninth, of France to Ferdinand
of Tyrol as a wedding present. It's
present value has been estimated at
possibly one million dollars.
Claim is laid to the Este collec-
ton of Egyptian and Roman antiqui-
ties, musical instruments, marbles
and bronzes which the emperor of
Austria inherited from the Duke of
Modena. This collection "a brought
here from Cataro, near Padua, 25
years ago but has not yet been ex-
lhibited to the public although a
mueum is now being arranged for
it in the new Hofburg Palace.
The most important single object
of this collection is Cupid Discharg-
ing an Arrow" by Donatello, Cupid
being considered by many the most
lovely child ever modelled. This
work was cast in the middle of the
fifteenth century and is three feet
high. There are no copies of it in
existence and very few photographs.
1t would be valued at several mil
lion dollars according to D'Ancona
if it were possible to place a COM
mercial price upon 1t.
Among Austrian collectors agi-
tated over Italian claims is the aged
Count Wilczek, the d~iscoverer OF
Franz-Josef Land. Many Of these
claims, however, are only pro-
visional.
