It pounds home no propa ganda; it thumps no pulpit; it is without sermon or moral-only such as life teaches in it's quiet way. The Griffith mastery conceived it, the Griffith artistry produced it-Which promises we'll for the profitable eve ming you may spend next Monday at the Empress.

ISMID 0NRUSH RECALLS DAYS
 OF 1917 TERROR

ISMID, Turkey, Aug. 21 (by Asso- ciated Press) With the onrush of Turkish Nationalists toward the Gulf of Ismid this historic old city was filled to overflowing with Greek and l Armenian refugees, who were being 1 shipped to ConstantinopIe as fast as
 transportation was available. Tales of the incoming refugees recalled the l terrors through which the local
 Christians passed in. 1917, when all
 the Armenian section was burned, thousands of Christians were slaught- cred and others fled into the noun. ! tains.
 This ancient city, which was called Nicomedia in biblical times, was the capital of Bithynia and under the
 Roman Empire became one of the
 chief cities of Asia Minor. Pliny described it in his letters to Trajan
 as having senate house, an eque- duct, forum and many temples and
 other public buildings. Diocletian made Ismid his residence and began the persecution of Christians which the Osmanli continued when they came into possession in the four teenth century.
 Now it's population has been swelled by crowds fleeing before the Nationalist advance and by British troops camped among the ruins of the old Roman and Byzantine walls on the mountainside, which now fair ly bristle with barbed wire entang1e- ments and are converted into ma- chine gun shelters.
 Shabby Turkish soldiers, the rem
 nants of the Sultan's forces which
 remained loyal to the Canstantinople
 government, kilted Scots and tur- baned Sikhs drag ammunition carts
 through the streets and make ready
 for the forces of Mustapha Renal
 which occupy the mountains which
 enclose the head of the Gulf of Is- mid on three sides.
 Many of the Armenian orphanages esta blished by the Americans and the
 British in interior cities have been evacuated through Ismid to points between here and Constantinople less liable to attack by the Nationalists.
 There is no peace for the Armenian
 and Greek children. Many of them have been moved across scores of times since they were rescued from l the Moslems and the stories of their sufferings are almost incredible. Official figures show that SS,0o0
 Armenian children have been recov- l cred up to date and about 66,800 are 1 still in the hands of the Turks and 1 the Arabs
 1 Many of the Armenian girls who
 passed through Ismid were tatoed on the forehead, cheeks and chin in such a manner that their faces will always bear the marks. Some of the older girls were taken as wives by
 the Turks and Arabs, and the refusal of their Armenian associates to for give their shame makes their res
 sue seem almost as great a tragedy
 as their life in the harem. Armenian children captured by the Turks were so thoroughly frightened
 by the Moslems into denial of their
 nationality that many of them still insist they are Mohammedans. Ere
 quently they have been provided with false birth certificates and family records so skillful was the effort of ther captors to Islamize the Chris tian children.

nitely ends the Carranza government.
Now comes the reorganization. An
election is to be held. with Obregon as
the sole candidate, inasmuch as Con
zales has withdrawn and Bonillas IS
now out of the country. Huerta. gov
ernor oe Sonora, has been authorized
to summon the national congress to
name I'll interim president, whereby
the administrator can be maintained.
There seems at present to be def
mite agreement among the factions to
be given opportunity for the estab-
lishment of order This is greatly to
be hoped Mexico has been in turmoil
for nearly decade. Administration
after administration has been over
thrown by treachery and by violence.
The governments credit is well-nigh
destroyed. The resources are unde-
vclopcd. The relations with foreign
countries have been strained to the
breaking point. Should Obregon be-
come the new President of Mexico he
will have Il remarkable opportunity to
bring his country up from the depths
into which ii has been plunged by the
misdeeds of his predecessors.

Levi P. Morton.

We hear Il good deal about the
business man in politics, and, if of
large calibcr, how we'll suited TO the
place ono such would be in the presi-
dency at this time, or soon.
Such Il man died yesterday. at the
great age of ninetysix. Levi p. Nor
ton was one of the most capable and
successful business men America has
produced. He amassed a large fortune
and used il we'll His reputation and
influence extended beyond the confines
of the American business world. Wher-
ever known he was admired and re-
spcctcd.
And equally admired and trusted and
successful was Mr.. Morton in politics.
He served as u member of the House !;
in diplomacy as minister to France; as
Vice President of the United States !;
as Governor of New York. He was
more than once mentioned for the
presidency, and more than once for
the sccrctaryship of the Treasury, and
would have filled either office accept
ably to the country.
Mr.. Morton was the architect of his
own cminence and usefulness. His be-
ginn:ngs were modest. He made his
own appraisements of opportunity. he
possessed not only ability. but industry
and ambition and high character. In
this country success naturally attended
such an equipment.
The opportunities today are as great
and inviting as they were in Mr.. Nor
tons day. And there is the same in
centive to action. Success is counted
not only in dollars and cents. but in
public respect and public honors.
Above all the hullabaloo of the hour
let the note bc sounded that America
is all right, and that the men who
would scrap. or even materially alter,
American institutions are not worthy
of their protection.

The Atlantic Merry.Go-Round.

With food prices soaring in the
United States. the astounding fact ap-
pears that American foodstuffs are be-
ing shipped abroad, and then shipped
back and sold here for higher prices
than can be obtained in Europe. Not
only that, bat sometimes these cargees
make tive round trips before they final
ly reach the American Consumers.
What is TO be done about IT. Moth
ing, say the government officials who
have discovered the fact of this
merry go round of trade. Nothing,
simply because the law does not reach
the men who deal in foods in whole
sale and buy and sell them in cargo
quantities and are free to seek the
highest market. These shiploads of
butter. fruits and ether articles pass
through several hands before they get
actually to market. They are bought
and sold in some cases without leav-
ing the holds Of the vessels.
This is a most vicious speculation.
1t keeps the foods gu; u use pending
the deals and voyages. II adds to the
ultimate price Of all commodities. And,
Furthermore. it brings finally to mar
kat foodstuffs of lowered quality For
the cold storage transportation back
and forth across the ocean necessarily
lessons the actual food value Of the
goods. And for this less valuable ma
terial. so urgently needed by the peo-
pie. the highest prices are ultimately
cxacted.
And yet nothing can he done about
it! Can there not he some method of
marking goods once exported 50 that
they can be identified when they have

been reshippeds With such distinc-
tive and ineradicable mark, they may
not command as high price in the
market upon being returned. Usually
surplus goods-and these are, in truth,
of that nature-are regarded as "sec-
onds.'
The cold storage system is believed
to be the cause of much of the high
price tendency in this country. Added
to that is now the Atlantic ocean stor
age method of keeping goods out of
the market until they can get peak
prices. The consumer wonders and
hopes, and wonders still what the end
will be.

New York and Roosevelt.

In special dispatch from Albany to
The Star. printed yesterday, the re-
publican leaders of New York we're re-
ported as opposed to the presidential
aspirations of Senator johnson. This
was stated:
"This bitter opposition to johnson
is statewide, and is traceable directly
to the campaign of 1912. when the Cali
fornia senator was found closely al
lied with Col. Roosevelt. The old
guard of this state never made peace
with Gel. Roosevelt or any of his
friends or supporters
Also this:
a greater warmth in New York
states feeling toward Leonard Wood
was noticeable during the past week,
but he is still far short of being the
candidate the q. o. p. leaders want.
He, like johnson, was too friendly with
Col. Roosevelt to please New Workers"
Would ii not be better to assess these
two men, and. indeed, all the candi-
dates for the Chicago nomination, on
their merits with respect to present
day problems, They are the problems
that must be met at Chicago. and which
the nominee of that convention must
represent in the campaign that is to
follow The dead past muse bury its
dead some time; and now is a very fit
and appropriate time for funeral cete
monies. Indeed. unless the under
taker is called in to dispose of this old
factionism, it may become necessary
after next election day to call him to
dispose of the party.
The Indiana republicans showed the
right spirit and played good politics
the other day when they made former
Senator Rcveridgc member Of their
delegation to Chicago. He was very
near TO Mr.. Roosevelt in the turbu
lcncc that cost the party so dearly in
1912; but, as Mr.. Roosevelt had done.
he returned TO the fold in 1916, and
since then has supported only repub-
lean candidates

Carranza Esca pes.

The --latest word from Carranza is
that he has escaped from his parsuers
into the mountains Of Vera Cruz, but
that his military escort has been cap
turcd. The fugitive party consists of
only few nier. who took away from
their train all the m:nted coins, but
left great quantity Of gold and silver
bars. Pursuit of the OK president he
must now be so considered is being
conducted by cavalry. and there would
appear to be small chance for his final
escape. The seaeoast is in the hands
of the revolutionists. Yet he might pos

Still Figuring on a Bonus.

Apparently the plan to put through
some kind of soldiers bonus bill
has not been abandoned in the House
of Representatives. On the contrary,
efforts are still being made to frame
la measure tina. will command the ma
Jority of votes, but along different
lines from the earlier proposal. The
idea of :, sales tax has been dropped,
as it is recognized that such tax
would bear directly and heavily upon
all the people, regardless OF their
means, and would greatly add to the
cost of LIVING. Various schemes have
been advocated to raise the funds for
the oCr"s. The latest is i tax on stock
dividends, with :: provision for retro
active collection. This. it is figured,
will bear oaiy upon those with capital.
Tnis shirt from the first planned
method OF financing does not relieve
the bonus proposition of its basic fault.
No matter from whom the money is
taken, or by what formula of taxation,
the fact will remain that a very large
sum will be collected from one class
of people, If rot from all, in order to
pay to 4 comparatively small group
an additional compensation for scrv-
ices that have already been as fully
compensated as their nature permits.
1t does not follow that the govern
ment cannot in grateful generosity
with justice pay more to the men who
formed the American contingent in
the great war. Every man of them
deserves the highest consideration.
The issue in this matter is whether
the country should obligate itself now
by some form of taxation that will
unquestionably run for several years
in sum. of two or possibly three bill
lion dollars for extra compensation at
a time when every dollar taken from
the people in taxes bears doubly, if
not trebly, upon them eventually in
living costs.
Nor will the change in the form of
bonus financing lessen the vital OBJ
lection to any kind of cash payments,
however distributed, on the score that
such gift will slacken production by
lessening the amount of work for
period, at time when the most urgent
need of the country is for labor.

The Freight Blockade.

Federal action to relieve the freight
jam is expected shortly. The Inter
state Commerce Commission. under the
transportation act, has power to sus
pend car service rules. to require the
joint use of terminals and 10 order
and enforce prioritics and emDar goes.
Under this authority, it is now under
stood, the commission viii institute
priority rules for goods. fuel and per
ishables over all other lines OF freight.
This will mean the sidctracking Of
great quantities of freight that are
now sandwiched in the yards and OIL
sidngs, some of it mixed with the pre-
ferred freights. 1t will. perhaps, mean
further delay in the shipment of raw
materials upon which the mills and fac
tories are waiting. But it will, it is
hoped, start moving the absolute essen
l.tials of life.
A freight jam is self-incrcasing
problem. When the lines arc blocked
the ears "back up far beyond the ter
minals. Sidings are filled, switching
becomes difficult The whole system is
congested and confused Whether this
present trouble arises from lack of
labor. or lack of ears. or an excess of
freight within a given period, is not

gent need is for clearance of the
lines for the perishables and the ne
cessites. This will call for twenty
four hour service, for 100 per cent eff
fort on the part Of every man in the
railroad system Of the country.
Discomfort with wage scales and
working conditions is perhaps the cause
of some of the trouble. The recent
switchmen's strike was probably the
initiating cause of the blockade, in
starting the congestion at the great
terminal points. The railroads usually
run at about the pitch of capacity in
normal times, and when they we're
checked for week or ten days they
we're given a burden to carry that was
beyond their powers, with shortened
forces.
The railroad wage board will doubt
less take cognizance Of this situation
and hasten the conclusion Of the cases
now pending before it. The advocates
of the operatives can aid by shorten
ing and eondensing their arguments.
Eloqrenee and passion are not essen
tial in the presentation of the claims.
Hours are precious. The congestion
affects the welfare of the railroad men
themselves, along with that of every
body else. 1t shortens the supplies
of which all people stand in need. 1t
threatens the shutting down of fac
tories and additions to the ranks of
the unemployed. 1t may bring about
the turn in the tide that will carry
down wage scales all over the country
through the sudden and severe slack
ening Of all forms of industry.

Lazy Day.
When May is pretty nearly through
A lazy day is surely due.
The robin lifts his voice to sing
And all the world is blossoming.
But problems great. in bold array.
Stand forth and mcrcilcssly say
That there shall be no Lazy Day.
The rose will breathe its perfume soft.
And feecy clouds will sail aloft,
But cares arise which bid US hear
The hours grow dull which once were
gay,
As 'mongst the joys that fade away
We see the good old Lazy Day.
