GREEKS BEING B0YC0TTED BY
 NATI0NALISTS

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 20 (by Associated Press) -Nationalists are spreading their propaganda for a boycott against the Greeks by writ ing on the five-piastre note an ep- peal urging Turks to buy from the Armenians or merchants of allied nationalities any article they cannot get from the Turks.
 There is no metal money circulat- ing now so that the small currency notes are used generally.
 A Mustapha Kemal Pasha circu- lar widely distributed in Anatolia reads:
 ITO our great regret France and Italy have associated themselves with the Boulogne Conferences de- clsion to accept the offer of Venize- losto have the Greek army enforce the peace treaty terms. This is part Of the British policy of exterminating the greatest Mohammedan power, Turkey. The Greeks are trying to destroy the cradle of our forefathers They have transformed mosques into churches. They have massacred our brothers and plundered their shops in Smyrna These events have been confirmed by the allied commission whose report favored us.
 "The powers that disapproved of the Greek atrocities are throwing these pirates against us. We must fight.
 "A period of training is necessary. Enlist! Offer your sons! Advise de- serters to return to the army. We shall smash the enemy by the aid of Our Prophet"

 this winter is attracting the attention of
 state and municipal governments, and it's relief should enlist the aid of every busi- ness man. Aside from the effects of liv- ing congestion on the morale of our peo- pie and it's potency in causing unrest it is obvious that where high rent is paid for two rooms the income remaining for supplying other needs and the amount of those needs is less than where low rent Is paid for four rooms. Fear of decreased purchasing power and excessive economy is the basis of present pessimism. and dwelling house construction will aid in shattering that fear. In many cities the situation is acute enough to justify the
