AGAINST CONTINUED
TURKISH RULE

Governor Carl E. Milliken, in com
mon with the governors OF oth.1
states and many prominent oncia'S
all over the country has joined IN d
protest against continued TURKISH
rule in Constantinople. This protest
is made in response TO request fro"
Hon. Henry Morganthau. former an
bassador 10 Turkey. who sent Cover
nor Millken the following telegram
New York, Feb. "a, 1sIo.
Gov. c. E. Milliken,
Augusta, Maine.
will YOU join in making a proper
protest against British premier
stand for recognition OF contihueo
Turkish rule in Constantinopie
Every consideration Of humanity anu
justice should deny the Turk whose
hands still are wet with the biooo OF
countless thousands OF his suojec'
races any continued rule over hoh-
Moslem races. Prompt acton a1ohe
can satisfy the conscience Oh Amer
lea. Please wire. -.
(Signed) Henry Morganthau."
To this request Governor MiiilAen
sent the following message:
Augusta, Feb. 2e, 1870.
Hon. Henry Morganthau,
New York City.
Your telegram received. A otlei
visit in Constantinople some years
before the war broke out and such IN
formation as l have been able to Sc
cure since that time has led me to
believe that European Turkey should
be governed by an international Com
mission somewhat analogous to the
system by which the internal revenue
and taxation of Turkey have been ad-
ministered for some years. l believe
the Turks should be entirely wiped
out of Europe and Constantinople be
made an International Port.

Rev. Dudley B. Ashford,
Noted Preacher and Lee
turer, Well Known on Three
Continents, Was Ordered TO
Give Up Work.

Reverend Dudley B. Ashford Is an
extraordinary man. Although stHI on
the sunny side Of forty. he has crowd

in a lifetime.
soon after his graduation from
Harley College. London. England ne
was ordained minister at the famous
New Court Congregational thurch'
london. A short time thereafter ne
was selected to present the cause OF
Congo Reform and African Missions
before the people of Norway. ana
toured that land with such success
that he was greeted by enormous
crowds at every meeting.
In 1908, under the auspices OF the
Colonial Missionary Society, he was
sent to New Zealand and Tor three
years labored as missionary among
the Maoris, where his experiences
were novel and thrilling.
In 1915 he returned to England and
served for three years at Wood street
Congregational church. Cardin, South
Wales, the biggest Congregational
church in the British Empire. 1t was
while here that he fell one OF the
early victims Of the great 1918 hu
epidemic, an attack from which he
had not fully recovered when he ac-
cepted a call to the Queens Road
CONGREGATIONAL church, st. Johns.
Newfoundland, where his forcefui
preaching soon attracted record con-
Tegations.
The strain Of this work upon his
undermined constitution proved too
severe and he suffered q nervous
breakdown, from which now, how
ever, he has completely recovered.
Moved by a desire to serve his fellow
men he has recently written a letter
that tells how he was restored to
health and strength.
Moved by Gratitude.
This letter, addressed to The Tan
lac Co., Atlanta, Ga. is an eloquent
expression Of gratitude and is as fol-

attack Of the Spanish influenza, from
the effects Of which I never fully re-

in weight and was unable to recover
my usual energy.
Then. in February. 1919, I became
the minister Of the Queens Road
Congregational church at st. Johns,
Newfoundland. My ministry was at

strain proved too great for me and I
had a serious breakdown. My nerves

provided that at least one-third
shall remain in woodland. The or1-
einal forest is still there and the
land that is in cultivation is very
productive. The state has recently
taken the property over and is
building big dormitory and
maintaining the school. I have not
looked up the terms under which
this is done. We drove down
through the woodland to the tomb
of de la Howe and it is near where
his home stood when he lived in the
forest of the early days of the re-
public. 1t stood on an eminence
overlooking the title River, but
there is nothing left of it now. 1t is
said that he had built around the
place tall timbers of poles so that
he might protect himself from the
attacks of the Indians who roamed
the forest in those days. The tomb
is enclosed by four walls of brick
and cemented on the outside, the
walls about ten feet high. There is
nothing to mark the place except
