Red Flag Torn Up
By French Sailors,
Declares Leygues
Minister Says Attempt at
Mutiny in the Black Sea
Fleet Was Abortive Coup
of Bolshevik Propaganda

PARIS, June 14.-In the debate in
the Chamber of Deputies on the
alleged mutiny of seamen of the
French Black Sea fleet, Marcel Cachin,
Socialist deputy, said Admiral Kol-
chak's army might be compared to the
forces which operated against the
French revolution, and expressed
astonishment that the Allies should
recognize Kolchak, Gust at g time
when he is being beaten"
Georges Leygues, Minister of Ma
rine, followed M. Cachin with review
of the Incidents attending the dis
orders on the Black Sea fleet. He said
the French squadron had been sent
into the Black Sea in carrying out the
armistice terms with Turkey. Re-
ferring to the trouble on the battle
ship Jean Dart, he said after there
had been manifestations of impatience
on the France, the "effervescence" was
communicated to other ships and the
red flag was hoisted.
Red Flag Torn to Shreds
The officers of all the vessels, he
said, refused to parley with the men
until the red flag was hauled down.
The commander Of the Jean Bart, who
was arrested by his men, said, accord
ing to the Minister:
Boys, look out. You are in a. state
of rebellion. I will haul down that
red flag or you shall strike me down
at your feet
The commandant's desire was not
only satisfied, said NJ, Leygues, but the
sailors themselves tore up the red
flag and handed him the shreds,
saying;
keep them in witness of our reso-
luton to become orderly again."
Conduct of Navy Eulogized
Men delegated by the sailors them
selves helped the commanding officers
to restore order and calm, the minister
declared, after which he held the pre-
vlously tumultuous chamber by an
eloquent review of the role the navy
played during the war and an exposi-
tion of the revolutionary propaganda
carried on by Russians among the
crews of the French feet, to which he
attributed the short rebellion.
1T was criminal plot he said.
The poison which brought about the
collapse of Russia was to DESTROY
France. The press of Germany and
revolutionary Russia announced hat
the crews Of ships in the Baltic had
mutinied. Having lost the war, Ger
many hoped thus to win the peace,
but the plot failed. The navy re-
mained faithful in its duty"

Majority Socialists Adopt
Scheme for Sc rvic e
to Cover News Events
From Their Standpoint
Scheidemann Rules Party
Government Faction Uses
Steam Roller Methods ON
Opposition i'm Convention

WEIMAR, June IA (By The Associa-
ted Press).-The German Majority
Socialist party will establish an inter
national press service immediately
after peace is concluded. A resolu-
ton to this effect was adopted with
virtual unanimity by the party's con-
vention, now meeting here, at yester-
days session. 1t will maintain special
correspondents in the various political
world centres, including Washington,
Toxic and Peking.
The Socialists, it was explained,
feel that they cannot again rely upon
chance reports of interest to them in
various parts Of the world appearing
haphazard in the German press with
out their having a knowledge of the
source and reliability Of the informa-
tion.
The convention rejected by large
majority motion to exclude Frederick
Ebert, the German President, and
Philip Scheidemann, the Premier,
from the party's executive committee
Malcontents in the organization de-
sired to have this action taken and the
question was considered one of the
most important of the convention.
Seek to Win Independents
Although the Majority Socialists
have declined in fact to effect any
re rnion with the Independent Social
lists, they apparently sought this af-
ternoon, although not without oppo-
sition, to soften the Independents
hostility by accepting the following
resolutions:
CAT no time has the desire of class
conscious workers been greater than
now to unite the German proletariat
and therefore to demand clear state
ment of the basis upon which reun-
ion of the two camps Of the German
Social Democracy is possible. There
must and can be ways, if both sides
show q willingness to cooperate'
1t seems unlikely, however, that
this action will have any effect on the
Independents, who are considered as
certain to refuse their cooperation.
The leaders of the convention have
used "steam roller tactics" in quelling
those who dared raise their voices
against the policies of the party The
principal malcontents were Eduard
Bernstein and Herr Cohenrauss. Bern
stein was the object of verbal lash
ings by Premier Scheidemann and
Eduard David.
Scheidenlann Rules Convention
Any desire to reamalgamate with
the Independent Socialists failed un-
der the rough shod parliamentary tao,
tics Of oske and Scheidemann. They
declared the Independents were try
ing to bribe and win over the loyal
government troops on the plea that
the Independents would soon gain con-
troll of the government.
The convention seemed to unite the
ajority Socialists stronger than ever
against the Independent Socialists.
Scheidemann overwhelmed all opposi-
ton, while Noske emerged triumphant
ly when the convention adopted a
resolution against retiring him as
Minister of Defence.

The instruments of religion must change with the times, according to a survey of church needs in the South, by the Episcopal Church in connection with it's Nationwide Campaign to ex- pand its usefulness and awaken it's people.
 Some of the equipment necessary, according to reports by clergymen and missionaries, includes:
 Tennessee-One laundry, one nov ing picture machine, one library.
 South Carolina-One automobile, one orphanage.
 Georgia-One automobile.
 Alabama-Fifteen automobiles and six missionaries to work in fifteen unoccupied counties.
 Mississippi-Two automobiles, one dormitory.

DEATH RATE DROPS
 WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES

Lives of thousands of Armenian children already have been saved by the Near East Relief taking over the Armenian orphanages, according to de- tailed reports, which have just reached the headquarters of that organizations. These institutions had been run by the Armenians since the beginning of the war to care for the children whose parents had been murdered by the Turks. Because of lack of food, clothing and medicine, the death rate among the children in these institu- lions averaged as high as twenty or thirty a day in some cases.
 When Armenian funds became in adequate the Near East Relief took charge of the orphanage. Since that

Catskin Is Valuable.

Look out for the pet pussy. Hunters have not only been instructed to shoot stray cats because they catch valuable birds, but the ordinary catskins, which are used in cheap fur sets and fur lined coats, are bringing as high as S1 50 each. Cat fur has been in great demand of late, both here and in Flu rope. Saranac Lake reports that skunk belts are a principal feature of sale, about 175,0OO being offered. It was predicted that more than $1,OOO,OOO would be realized on one consignment in recent sale in New York. It Is also stated that first quality skunk skins will bring $7 each at the open ing of the winter trapping season, with a proportionate advance on fox and other belts usually secured by Adiron- dack trappers.- Utica Globe.

ALLENBY STOPS
 CRAFT OF TURK
Persecution of Armenians and ConfIscation of Property Pre-.
 vented by English Officer.

The most arbitrary city boss in th. world, it seems safe to say, as well as the most interruptions politician of modern times, has turned up in Aintah Armenia, to judge from an official re. port recently made by Major stepbe, Trowbridge, under Gen. Edmund Fl IT Allenby's orders.
 He lsa Turk named Besm Bey. Until the Near East Relief agents stonnad hiln. he practiced upon the terrified Armenians such forms of super-graft as might well make every other cor. rupt politician in the world green with envy, and such crueltIes as make all other heartless rulers, from Nero down, seem sweet and gentle char acters. His office was that of Mimic. ipal Chief Accountant of Aintab: but as all dishonest office-holders know it isn't the job that matters, but the sugar-plums that go with it. Besim Bey plucked sugar-plums with both hands, night and day.
 Even inspired city bosses have their day. Besim Beys came when tne Near East Relief agents found that no thorough Armenian relief work could be done in that city while such condi- tions of terrorization existed General MacAndrew ordered the arrest and removal of the six worst Turks in the ring that ruled the city, and Besim Bey qualified, as usual, for first place,

 Tn my opinion, the situation m the Near East is the most desperate in the world" ~
 MT. Hoover has sent letter to Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer VI Near East Relief, 1 Madison avenue, New York, in which he says:
 "In accepting your invitation to become a member of the Ex- ccutive Committee of the Near East committee, I do so with reluctance, but out of sense of duty towards one of the most difficult situations in Europe. Until some political settlement can be obtained for the Near East and some government es- tablished in responsibility for the care and repatriation of the Armenian population in the Cau- casus, this mass of people must live sheerly by the charity of the United States. There are in the Caucasus approximately 1,800,- 900 Armenians, of whom 800,000 are entirely destitute-refugees from Turkey-and amongst them a tremendous mass of children.

In defense of these charges, Mr..
Driver merely said that q certain
amount Of money was considered neees-
safy Ia pay for the labor involved in
the call, and that il no extra were
charged for overtime, so much would
simply have to be added to the first
cost, and that the fairest way TO dis
tribute the total charge was by put
ting part of it on the overtime con-
vefsation.

going to find increases in the bills, ac-

1 Light was thrown on another vexed
question by Mr.. Driver, when he ex,
planned the messenger charge. Under
the new rate, where a messenger is
sent the charge is the station to.sta
ltion rate plus so per cent, plus the cost
of sending the messenger which seems
like charging twice for the same serv
ice. Instead, Mr. Driver says, ths
charge for sending the messenger goes
entirely to the drugstore clerk or who
ever performs the work, while the com
lpany's charge is for the labor and ac
counting involved for telephone EN-
lployes in such call.
