PROFITEERING IN TURKEY

London, Jan. 20-Profteering was
carried to such an extreme in Turkey
during the war that, in the opinion
of a special representative of the
British press at Constantinople, it
passes comprehension how people
managed to live. Writing from Con-
|stantinople, he says:
''There is no doubt that Turkey
during the war was largely the play
thing of Enver Pasha. Talaat Pasha,
and their band of satellites. They
reduced the country to state of
wholesale corruption remarkable for
Turkey, and in amassing riches them
selves allowed economic conditions to
become a nightmare.
Nowhere else in the whole area of
the war have the prices of commodi-
ties approached anything. like the
heights known here. The right to
use a railway wagon was sold for
81 900. The profteer who secured it
bought, say, sugar from Austria or
Germany at shilling or so pound,
and sold it at two Or three hundred
times its value, making $4,000 or
more on single consignment of
modest dimensions

signing of the armistice. Paper mill
men report new business is develop
ing slowly and amount of business on
hand at the present time is small.
With tanneries there is an apparent
reasonably good demand and some
new inquiries. Granite manufacture
ers find a fair volume of trade. Quar-
ries are operating full on orders left
over from last year. There is still
considerable illness about the state.
Returned soldiers are few for the
week but are coming back slowly.

sources. The amount of snow fall
up to date for the winter period has
been considerably less than that of a
year ago or for normal periods.
There is Lot enough snow in the
woods to facilitate handling of wood
products. The production from the
creameries has increased little
over what was shown earlier in the
month. Retail merchants have found
the clearance sales we'll attended and
stocks correspondingly reduced. Buy

Ihe country merchants stocks are re-

conservative buying predominates.
Home communities have harvested
a portion of their ice crop. Collec-

good and compares favorably with
the same period of year ago.

given all they can.

following statement at the close of
the campaign last night:

East wish to express their apprecia-
ton to the Caledonian for its assist

thank the solicitors who have raised
this money tc save the starving peo-
pie of Asia Minor.
1t is true that this camjaign did
not go with the enthusiasm of some
of the war drives, but $4,000 is a
goodly sum and those who worked
and those who gave may feel the sat
isfaction Of a good work we'll done
The drive is over but additional
gifts will gladly be received. Checks
should be mailed to W. J. Farr

dark colors is due not to fad in
style, but to important Improvements IS
in the compounds which make up the
tire tread, is the statement of the
United States Tire company,
After a long period of experiment
tation, this company developed a new
formula for its tread compounds, so
much tougher and much better wear
ing, that ii was adopted as the stand
ard of manufacture, even though u
called for a change from the light
color to which the public had been
accustomed.
before the dark tire was placed on
the market it was thoroughly tested
by the testing fleets of the COM
pany. These tests demonstrated that
the dark compound produced tires VI
greater mileage than the lighter
stock The dark colJ~ed tires have
been on the market long enough nov
to demonstrate their superiority.
