The letter, written to Prof. j. p.
Xenides, secretary of the Greek relief
committee here, described the new
method of Kidding the land of its in
habitants which, it is said was some
what different from that employed by
the Turks against the Armenians.
The worst of the crimes laid to the
Turks, according to Doctor White, were
committed in the winters of 1916 and
1917, when orders were issued for the
deportation of the Greeks along the
Black sea coast. The people, he wrote,
were crowded into the steam rooms of
the baths in Chorum under the pre-
tense of sanitary regulations" and
after being tortured for hours were
turned out of doors into snow almost
knee-deep, and without lodging or food.

Growth Of CANNING Industry.

The canning industry has within a
few years grown to colossal proper
lions. 1t is an art that dates back a
little more than 100 years. We owe
this art of preserving foods through
rendering them sterile by means of
heat and maintaining them in that
condition in Theoretically sealed con-
tainers, to a Frenchman, Nicholas APP
pere, who began his experiments in
canning in 1895 at Chalmons sur

ed for Is years and in 1910 had prac-
tically perfected his system.
The first canning in the United
States was for the preservation of
sea foods. 1t was not until the
decade following the Civil war that
the superiority CT canned foods
over those which were preserved by
sailing, drying and picking became
recognized. Today the United States
is the largest producer and consumer
of canned foods.

Fish Plentiful in Chile.

Along the coast of Chile, many
sections of which are practically I'M
inhabited at present, graves of the
aborigines are found in great num-
bers, and they invariably contain
implements for sea fishing. From
prehistoric times the coast of Chile
has been noted for its diverse and
extensive fisheries. The fishes are so
plentiful that sea birds by the mil
lions, feeding on them, are found
along the coast, and the numerous
guano islands indicate the great
length of time the birds frequented
these waters. With methods similar
10 those used in other countries, the
fishing industry could be revolution
lied and established on a very large
scale. The present methods In Chile
are no more advanced than they were
thousands of years ago. The need is
felt by the Chileans themselves. The
lack of sea food was recently the
subject of a demand from the labor
ers to the government.

Secret Spartacan Circular Urges Agi-

Berlin.-A complete and carefully
drawn plan to overthrow the present
government and further world revolu-
ton is contained in a secret Spartacan
circular to its agents and district
chiefs.
The document, which was secured
by the general bureau for the study
of bolshevism," begins by regretting
that the government signed the peace
treaty, thereby delaying the inevitable
crisis.
The document speculates on various
possible developments and then sets
forth a concrete plan, the first step of
which would be TO hasten an internal
German crisis by tampering with the
home guards of Gustav Noske, minis
ter of defense, which are declared TO
be less reliable than formerly.
The circular urges Spartacan organ
izations to agitate among the soldiers
by leaflets and verbally.

in, committee was appointed with
power. Edward Zimmerman as chair

The change in the method OF billing
and paying taxes, compelled by the

ton, and it was suggested that the
newspapers could prove useful in dis
seminating knowledge of the main
points of difference between this act
and the act we have been working
under
A tentative report of the Zonin%
Committee, made by f. Lehsten,
showed that substantial progress has
been made 1t is necessarily SLOW
work, and not always successful, but
in this case the report seems to indi-
cate favorable outcome.
A reception to be given to our local
soldiers returning from the war was
preached and met with instant inter
est and was freely discussed, as was
also the subject of a memorial to be
erected by popular subscription, in
commemoration of those of our neigh
borhood who have so gloriOusly laid
down their lives upon the altar of lib
erty. 1t was felt that this club should
| take the lead in both of these enter
prises. The discussion was still going

MAI. M'CLAvE HITS
z0NEPLAN OF FARES,
CALLING IT UNFAIR

Major S. Wood McClave has writ
ten a letter TO the State Utilities
Board in which he says the newly
proposed coming system for trolley
fares is unjust, as well as eXhorbitant.
Among the many points he covers are
the following:
81 am not familiar with other
branch lines of their system, l am
with the Palisade line which | use,
and taking that as Il basis, it would
seem, as | understand it, that the fares
as arranged upon this line are not only
unfair but exorbitant.
For instance, they start off by
charging for the first zone, five cents
and then for each additional zone one
cent more. Taking the Palisade line
as an example the first zone reads
West Shore Terminal, Weehawken, to
Private Right of Way and Ninth
street, five cents second zone to
Broadway and Twenty-seventh street,
one cent; third zone to Private Right
of Way and Edgewater road. one
cent fifth zone to Palisade Junction,
one cent; total-nine cents.
"The fare as arranged by your
Board due to war conditions and
which was to expire. as / understand
it, on April first, was seven cents
from West Shore Terminal to Pal
isade Junction and vice versa, with
an additional charge of one cent for
transfer to the Hudson River line at
PaliSade Junction, or to the ears run
ming south from Fourth street.
In addition to this proposed nine
cent fare, l do not see any provision
for a transfer as described above in
which case, | presume that it will be
necessary for a passenger who desires
to transfer, to pay an additional five
cents to ride upon another line.
at is my presumption that your
Commission will scan carefully and
is an unbiased way, this new appli
cation presented to you for your de-
cision by the Public Service Corpora
ton, and that your decision both to-
ward the Public Service Corporation
and the people at large will be an alb
solutely just one otherwise, especially
| if unjust to the public, you will bring

Gently appeared in the Hudson Dis
patch from the pen of the delectable
reporter who covers this territory
with questionable statements and mis-
leading adjectives. His habit of
playing up" certain people are as
well-knOwn as they are distaSteful.
Regarding Mr.. Fox, he was not an
'honor man. at the Cliffside High
School, and he never graduated from
it. The statement that Sergt. Fox
.'captained several football teams is
true in the sense that he was captain
of one only.
Further, the statement that Mr.. Fox
was Il sergeant must not be con-
strued that he was more than
sergeant of the Home Defense. Now,
these corrections about my friend
Dick Fox are sent in no feeling but
sincerity. He would doubtless make
a good member of the board, but he
wants to be set right.
