TURKS THREATEN
DESTRUCTION TO
SAINT SOPHIA
(By Associated Press)

London, March "a (By maiD-
Warning that the Turks had threat
ened to destroy the Church of st. So
phia in Constantinople, if any move
ment was undertaken to restore that
church to the Christians, has been re-
ceived by government officials OF
Great Britain.
The subject was brought up in the
House Of Commons the other day,
when Arthur J. Balfour, the foreign
minister, was asked if he had received
a communication from Constantinople
stating that the Turks intended to
blow up the Church of St. Sophia If
any public expression of opinion took
place in the United Kingdom in favor
of the restitution to Christendom OF
one of the oldest Christian churches
in Europe"
Mr.. Balfour replied that no official
communication to that effect had been
received, but that such information
had been conveyed by interested par
ties. He announced that Admiral Cal
thorn British commander in Constan-
tinople, had been instructed to take
measures to protect the building and
| that he would see that these instruc-
lions were carried out.
Despite the warning there is def
mite movement looking to the restora,
tion of the great cathedral church OF
ancient Constantinople to the use OF
the Christian religion. Erected al
first in $50 A. d. and rebuilt in 53I
as a Christian cathedral, st. Sophia
was appropriated by the Turks as

THE CONVERSATION INCREASE.

Conversation, and nearly every since the war. This was brought out yesterday during the testimony in New York connected with the in vestigation conducted by the Public Service Commission into the metro politan telephone service. Where the length of an average telephone parties had been connected-used to range from one to two minute, it now consumes four and five minutes
 When we think of what formerly were topics of conversation compared With the present themes, the increase in the average length of the ensuing talk is not astonishing. There was a time when Mrs. Jones called up Mrs. Smith in the morning and told her the corner grocer had raised the price of eggs from forty to forty-one dollars for suit yesterday, and she believed her family would be in rags if the Government didn't do some thing to bring down the high cost of living
 Oh happy days
 See what Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Smith have to talk about today. Mrs. Smith requests the sympathy of Mrs. Jones over the fact that the corner grocer said eggs were going from S1 to $1.05. And only yesterday it was she had to pay $65 for a new suit and the coal stril1e-and the steel strike-and the coming election and the Irish question-and the Lea gue of Nations were affecting everything, and the world would certainly come to an end very soon if Congress didn't do something to make things settled again The wonder of it is that conv ersa- tion hasn't increased from two min utes to two hours
