Team Campaign
Against The Turks
Associated Press

LONDON, Jan. 16-A committee
has just been formed with T. p.
O'Connor, the wildly known Member
OF Parliament, as president, to con-
duct an energetic campaign to the end
that the Turks shall never again gov
ern areas inhabited by Christians.
The committee was organized at
meeting which was addressed by w.
A. Lloyd, an Australian journlist, who
related stories of atrocities attributed
to the Turks. Mr.. O'Connor, who pre-
sided, declared that mot single
Christian subject should be allowed
to remain under Turkish mis-govern-
ment.'
Mr.. Lloyd fought against the Turks
and said he had seen much of their
methods since, having only just re-
turned from an investigation of the
results of Turkish rule. He stated that
there was now, more than a year af-
ter the signing of the armistice, a
well-equipped, well-organized Turkish
army in the field, numbering whole
sale unarmed Christian men, women
and children.
"Only a few weeks ago." he said,
Il helped to gather the mutilated bod
les of some 800 or 400 little Christian
children for Christian burial in Asia
Minor"

ITALY GREATLY

Italian Cities Have Increased Their
Inhabitants At Amazing Rates
Since War.
Associated Press

ROME JAM. 16<-The cry for the
tourists of Ahnerfca, England and
France is heard throughout Italy. II
s as strong in Venice. Florence, Ma
Pies End Genoa as in Rome.
But Itaifan cities have increased
tl'Ra lsopa. ton at such am amazing
that there seems
10 fU0rn 81 tourists. fiuteiis in
all the larger cities are crowded to
overflowing at all times. Apartments
and houses are not available at any
price. Rents have been kept down by
law and municipal authorities are
hard-pressed to find shelter for the
population that has flocked to the
cities
Rome had only $4,000 inhabitants
before the opening of the war. 1t
now has 100000 and seems to be
growing daily. There are few for
eigners. One seldom hears anything
but Italian spoken in hotels, cafes and
theatres. But the streets are crowd
ed day and night.
In its palmiest days Rome had g.
100000 inhabitants But in the 18th
century, when the papacy moved to
Avignon, in France, the once grand
capital of the ancient world became
a deserted ruin, with only $4,000 in
habitants.

Just A Few Words To
Our City Subscribers

Many complaints reach The Daily
Commonwealth office every day con-
corning the non-delivery of the paper
to residences and offices throughout
the city, and we are exceedingly anx-
ious to remedy this trouble. We want
our subscribers to call attention to
these delinquences on the part of the
carrier boys, because any negligence
in this matter is equally as annoying
and regretable to us as it possibly can
be to subscribers who are entitled to
get their papers regularly and prompt
ly-and when they fail to do SO, we
appreciate having our attention called
to same, in order that we may endeav-
or to remedy the trouble. However,
please don't "bawl" US out over the
phone in a manner to leave the in
ference that you expect US to forth
with make a hike" and deliver the
missing paper, regardless of the hour,
night or day-because such thing is
physically impossible for us to do so.
Consequently, we wish to ask our pat
rons to assist us in the matter of try
ing to impress on the carrier boys
the Importance of delivering the pap
ers regularly, promptly and careful
ly-not by scolding the little fellows,
but in kind and proper way. This
will very materially prove helpful,
and we hope each subscriber will CO.
operate with us in giving this method
a try-out. Boys will be boys, as you
are well aware, and they will almost
invariably more willingly respond to
Kind treatment than to severe and
sometimes, undersigned scolding.

KY. DISTILLERS
YET HAVE WHISKY
Several Million Gallons On Hand Last
Day Before Constitutional
Amendment In Effect,
Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 16-Ken
tucky distillers still held several mil
lion gallons of liquor today, the las,
day before constitutional prohibition
was initiated, notwithstanding at.
tempts to export it. Last unofficia
figures were that a5,O0O,OOO gallons
valued at apprsxssnss..ss ss.s.y .s.;T $4o0, ,O00, ,O0l

fate was in some doubt. Unless con.
fiscated by the government, it was
said, much of it probably will be sold
for medical purposes.
Whiskey interests Of this state
waited until early December in the
belief that the President, the Supreme
Court or Congress would lift the war
time prohibition ban. When the Su-
preme Court held the law constitu-
tional and neither the President or
Congress raised the ban, they prepar-
ed for shipment of their stocks to for
eign countries, but were said to have
been only nominally successful.

terests announced, following similar
announcement in Chicago, that they
would institute suit in the court of
claims, Washington, late this month
or early February in an effort to Sc
cure reimbursement from the govern
ment for the whiskey that remained
in the country after today.
One almost immediate result of the
permanent ban clamped down today
may be the closing for good of the
800 Louisville saloons that survived
tn ewartime law by conversion into
soft-drink dispensories. A number of
the proprietors declared today that
they cannot operate under present
profits and therefore expect to begin
new businesses.
Meantime, the real work of prohib-
ition enforcement officers began to-
day. They were said to be ready to
suppress all violations of the law in
this state.

RARE TREAT FOR
ALL MUSICLOVERS
Cincinnati Orchestra With It's Great
Leader, Ysaye, Play To Nearly
Thousand People.

Little can be written of the Cincin-
natl Symphony Orchestra, which
would do-justice to. the wonderful pro-
gram which was rendered in Green
wood last night, when $50 persons
packed the auditorium of the local
theatre. The music was superb, ex-
alting and for nearly two hours the
audience was thrilled by the exquis-
ite melody, wrought by master musi-
clans.
Eugene Ysaye, world famous musi-
clan, conductor for the orchestra, has
achieved great success with his musi-
cal organization. He has gathered to-
gether an orchestra composed of the
greatest artists in America and Eu-
ropean countries. So widely has his
fame spread, that his orchestra is un-
able to fill half the engagements that
are desired.
The Queen of Belgium studied un-
der Ysaye for number of years and
he is we'll known throughout Europe
as great leader and musician.
The program was carried out here
last night as scheduled with excep-
ton of ''Valse Triste" by Sibelius,
which was omitted in order to give
the audience the privilege of hearing
Fernand Poleain, great artist, who
is travelling for two weeks with the
orchestra. Poleain rendered 'tElegie"
by G.. Faure and the "Serenade" by
Andre Messenger.
Poleain has just completed a con-
cert tour with Mary Garden and her
company and came here from New
Orleans to join the orchestra. He
was captain in the Belgium army
throughout the great war. The cello
upon which he played his solo, was
purchased at a cost Of $4,000. The
opportunity of hearing Poleain was a
rare treat which the Greenwood peo-
pie thoroughly enjoyed.
"This is our first trip to Mississippi,
said A. F. Thiele, business manager
for the orchestra. eve rarely make
the smaller towns, but as Ysaye stat
ed that often greater culture was
found in the smaller communities than
III :,ss We tss =
cided to come to Greenwood. We
were pleased with the reception we
were given here"
Mr.. Thiele stated that they only
had two engagements in Mississippi
besides the one here. They will give
a concert at Brookhaven and Meri-
dian. The orchestra left here for New
Orleans.
PROGRAM RENDERED.
