dent Wilson on his landing at Boston.
While definite information was lack
ing. the authorities admitted that the

GREEKS CLAIM TURK CAPITAL.
Part Of Asia Minor 10 Sought; Straits
to Be Opened.

Washington, Feb. 24-The Greek
claims to Constantinople and to a sub
stantial proportion of Asia Minor, to-
gether with Premier Venizelos' views
concerning the settlement to be made
in regard to Armenia, are contained in
q statement submitted to the peace
conference at Paris by the Greek gov
ernment.
In virtuesof the twelfth article of
the program Fof President Wilson, ac-
cording to which Ottoman sovereign,y y
will be maintained solely in the Turk
ish portions of the present empire :
Constantinople can not remain under
the Turkish regime says the state
ment. "As a matter of fact, the villa :
yet of Constantinople, comprising
Stamboul, Pera, Scutari and the sub
urhs out as far as Tchataldja, has a
total population of 1,173,67O, of whom
only 449,114 are Turks.
with the suppression OF Ottoman
sovereignty, the natural solution would
be to adjudge Constantinople and its
yilayet to Greece, while establishing
international guarantees for the free
dom of the straits.
This solution is all the more indi
Gated from the fact thai at the time
of the Turkish conquest, Canstanti
nople had for centuries been the capi
tai Of the Greek empire, and before
that had been for several years :
flourishing Greek colony.
Even today the principal native ele.
ment Of the population is Greek. Com
prising S04,459 persons, 1t is numer.
ically greater than all the other ma.
tionalities put together, with the ex.
ception Of the Turks. It occupies ar

great International interests connected
with the possession of the straits; form

The trip up the harbor, accompanied
by tho same convoy Of vessels with the

by the continuous sounding Of whistles
by craft In the harbor, and as the

Joseph p. lTumulty, secretary to the
president, spent the night aboard the
Ge3rge washington with President
Wilson and came ashore today with
the presidential party, He was be-
lieved to have the engrossed copy of
the six billion dollar war revenue bill
with him and II was thought possible
President Wilson might sign the bill
before he landed. or at least soon after
he set foot on shore.
President Wilson's reception In Bos-
ton today was characterized by those
who Travelled with him through Eu-
rope MS being fully as demonstrative as
any he received in England, France
or Italy.
Hall Packed TO Limits.
President Wilson arrived at the hall
at $3.50 o'clock. He entered at the
West Newton street entrance, which
led to the stage. y
AS his party reached the door a
battery in the railroad yards at the
rear Of the hall fired the presidential
salute. Inside the hall the band
struck up Hall 10 the Chief"
The biggest rodf in Boston stretched
over the holders Of tickets to hear the
presidents first address. Out of
some 10000 who had thought it
worth while to file an application in
the hope that their requests for ad-
mission might be honored, 5000
gained admission to Mechanics hall
OF these 1000 stood in the second ball
cony which is not provided with
seats.
The preliminaries were brief John
Mccormack sang The Star Spangled
Banner" Mayor Peters welcomed
the guest in the name of the city, and
Governor Coolidge extended the greet
ingS Of the commonwealth. The
president was escorted to a private
room and a moment later appeared on
the stage. The thousands who had
found seats rose cheering and waving
flags. The roar from the audience
drowned the music of the band. The
president sat down but rose to bow
and smiled.
The demonstration continued and
Mr.. Wilson again arose and waved
his acknowledgement. The applause
lasted two minutes.
The president began by asking his
audience II they could understand
that he was as. glad to see them as
they to see him. His reception in
Europe he said he considered as not
q tribute to himself but a welcome to
the American people. He regarded it
- welcome to the friends of
liberty. ,donaing acyoss the sea to see
that a new world was consecrated on
justice and right.
s Mr.. Wilson referred to the work of
the peace conference and the league
of. nations only in the most general
terms. and those in the audience who
expected enlightenment on these
questions were disappointed. At the
conclusion Of the address the presi-
dent boarded a special train for.

Another illustration of efficient
production is found in returns from
live stock. II is certainly poor policy
to put 500 worth of feed into live
stock and then get only $50 in returns.
Yet this often happens. 1t may be
due to drop in prices which cannot
be told, while on the other hand it
may be due to a poor quality of stock
and failure to feed properly-balanc-
ed and sufficient rations. Records
from farms show that in one eoin-
munity some men get only s45, while
others get aas high as $500 returns
from each 500 worth of feed fed the
stock. And the incomes of those men
were almost the same proportion.
The quantity of crops and livestock
produced has lot to do with the eff
cheney of production and this natural
ly reflects on the farmers income.
