When the Greeks took over BruSa
nnd drove the Turkish nationalists
eastward from the sea Of Marmora,
this sacred city Of the Osmanls only
lr-ennctrd the scenes Of 100 other
segeS and evacuatiOns which have
marked It's life In recorded and myth
Cal history. 1t lies at the foot Of
snowclad Mount Olympus. which has
attracted adventures since the days
OF the Argonauts. This mountain
looms high above all others on the An
ainlinn shore Of the Marmora and the
site Of RruSa. well up the base of the
peak and overlooking the great, fertile
valley Of the Niufer and has always
tempted cOnquerors.
Laid Out by Hannibal.
Hannibal laid out the present city,
according to some historians. Others
credit Prussia, the protector of Han
nibal, with the creation of BluSa,
which was originally called Prussia.
1t was the capital Of the Bithnian king
dom until 70 years before Christ. when
Nicomedes III left his kingdom to
the Romans. During the Byzantine
period Brusa was alternately In the
hands Of Christians and Moslems. The
Arabs took 1t In a famous siege in $50.
1t was soon recaptured by the Chris
tians. In the eleventh century. the
Turks captured 1t, and held 1t unri
the Christian Crusaders captured NJ
caea in 1907.

It's in 1926 and became the residence
of the sutans and the great cultural
centerS of the MOslems to which pO-
ats. philosophers, dervishes and holy
,1en of all sorts flocke,l from Persia,
Ehorassan and Bokara. The city was
sacked by Timur in the fifteenth GEN.

tons of 1t and In 1855 1t suffered %
terrible earthquake which killed more
than 1000 persons and damaged many
Of its historic walls and mosques.
Greatest Art Creation.
But the Green mosque, or Yeshll
.Inmi, which MOhammed bun, in
1920 and which architects regard as
tIe greatest art creation of the Os-
flanlis, still stands in all its beauty.
The tOmhs of many sutans. including
that of MOhammed l, make Brusa more
precious to the Turks than any other
part of their empire, not even except
ing Constantinople. Consequently.
there Is the greatest apprehension
among Moslems lest Brhsa with lis
hundreds of mosques, its citadel dating
tack to the Roman times, and It's
sacred tombs, may remain indefinitely
In Christian hands.
Geumlek. the little port on the Gulf
Of GeumIek, 20 miles from Brusa, was
used by all the original Christian
crusaders when they made their
attempts to rescue the holy places OF
the Levant.

PLAIN AMERICAN HIGHLY
 IGNORED.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec., 10-A 4 col. orful pageant attends the presentation of foreign diplomat to the king of Siam, according to a letter received here from G. w. P. Hunt, United States minister to>Siam, who describ- ed his own presentation September 6, .ast. The Amrican minister said he was one of 47 Americans in Bangkok, a city of soo,ooo. Of his presentation at the royal palace he wrote:
 "We started across an immense paved court to the royal. entrance. There was a fanfare of trumpets and two bodies of household troops stood at attention. The royal colors were displayed and with uncovered heads
 'e passed on to the stone staircase which for the occasion was laid with neavy red plush carpeting. Along ,ach side were stationed guards with .ncient looking halberds.
 "We were ushered into . large TO. ;unda. Our hats were left on . table. Then we turned to the right mounted few more stairs and came into an- othr long room with lofty windows along one side. Between the windows were inches in which stood knights in armor (without the knights themselv- s, of course.) Along the other side of this long room or passage there was a row of beautiful marble pillars and be- yond them large rock. At the end of the corridor stood nine chamberlains, rather great nobles, respiendent in lich dress and ablaze with orders on their breasts. --.-...
 Suddenly, folding doors opened as if by unseen hands and I walked into the presence of the only despotic mon- arch left in this world. And as if be- fitting the reception of an envoy from the greatest republic on earth, he was dressed very simply in a long frock coat.
 "The Prince D, who is at the head of the foreign office, presnted me and retired to the rear of the room while I read to the king, as etiquette requires, my brief speech and he replied in Si. amese in like manner.
 "When this ceremony was done, he smiled and we sat down and had our little talk, fer the king, you should know, speaks perfect English. He is short of statute, like all Siamese, is quite plump, and impresses one as being real chap" "
