POLYCAMY GOING
 OUT OF FASHION Even In Mindanao and Sulu Practice Is Growing
 In Disfavor
By A-.ocia,ed Pre-.

Manila, P. l., May 26-Practice of po- Eganny in the Philippine Islands is being reduced through education of girls of the leading families of the outlying provinces, according to Frank w. Car penter, retiring governor of the depart ment of Mndanao and Sulu
 MT. Carpenter is here to turn over ad- ministration of his office to the Secre- tary of the Interior, who will act through the bureau of non-Christian tribes in ac- cordance with new territorial law This law leaves in effect a treaty under which the Sultan of Sulu renounced all pre- tensions to temporal sovereignty, but gained recognition as ecclesiastical head of the Mohammedan church in the Sulu archipelago. The treaty guarantees to the Sultan and his people the same religious freedom had by all adherents of all other religious creeds practice of w'lich is not in violation of the basic principles of the laws of the United States"
 Ut is important to note,' said Carpen- ter in one of his messages written as gov ernor, that this includes a limitation as y religious practice which necessarily in- )cludes the abandonment of polygamy. |There can be no question that it will disappear as the relative number of per- sons of the two sexes reach approxi- mate natural equality.
 fAn effort to impose upon the people of the Sultan at this time the invalida- ton of polygamous marriages heretofore contracted, the prohibition at this time of polygamy or the dscontinuance of di- verce, must unavoida bly, result in the ac- tive resistance of people imbued with fanatic determination to die rather than submit to privation of their religious liberty in matters they believe to be fun iamental and sanctioned by divine au- hority."

TURKS SEXULTAT NEWS IF DEFEAT
 0F GREEK FORCE
Greek Casualties at Hands of Nationalists Reported By Turks to Number
 Ten Thousand
Rv Associated Press

Constantinople, June 90. - There is great exultation among the Turks in Constantinople because of the alleged victory of the nationalists over the lGreeks in the vicinity of Pergama, where Mustapha Kemal Pasha's forces are reported to have outflanked the Greeks and to be moving northwards
 toward Panderma tsixty miles south west of Constantinople), taking sev- eral thousand prisoners.
 There has been no official Greek con-
 munique for two days. and the Turkish papers are not permitted to print news unfavorable to the Greeks, but the Turks generally credit the reports of Mustapha Kemafs success.
 The Sultan has communicated with the heir apparent, who, in turn. has conferred with the sublime porte, ask ing that protest be lodged with the entente against suppression of news favorable to Turkey. The director of the allied censorship has replied that the nationa1ists have no direct com munication with Constantinople, and that therefore reports reaching the city are unreliable.
 The alleged nationalist victory has been widely heralded through posters at Brusa and other Antolian cities, where the assertion is made that the Greek casualties at Pergama numbered 10, 900. These figures are regarded in
 Constantfnople as ludicrous, although Greek silence is creating the impress sion that the initial Greek success has been checked
 The nationalists frankly admit that they were surprised by the Greek ad-

PORTUGAL HAPPY
 AS OTHER NATIONS PeOp. Mn Their Merry-Mak ing Show No Evidence
 of Bomb Plots
By Associated pres.


 Lisbon, Portugal, June 9.-Portugal in spite of all the lurid reports spread abroad by intrested parties is at the present moment of social and economical trcu- bles no worse off than other countries which participated in the great war.
 When one drives through Lisbon and her suburbs on a Sunday and watches the happy crowds holiday making after the weeks work, the impress Nn gaited is that it would be difficult | find in any country such a contented, light hearted people as the Portuguese. Unless some means of conveyance be previously engaged, walking is the only method of locomotion available on that day, for trains, motor cars, carriages, carts and omnibuses are all hired or seats booked in advance. Even the street cars are filled to overflowing by workmen and their families on the way to the outlying dis tricts smilingly bearing with them their picnic baskets.
 The leafy avenues just outside the city are filled with people afoot, singing popu- lar songs from the latest revues or ex- changing merry jests with the people in the conyeyances.
 Outside and inside the railroad sta tions, from early morning, are filled with people of the more wealthy, working and professional classes, trying to obtain accommodations for trip either to Gin tra, Cascaes or the Estoril the beautiful Riviera of Portugal It is true. that be- sides all this merry making there is so- cial unrest in Portugal Strikes are fre- quent, but generally peaceable; there is an occasional bomb and sometimes a street riot, but bolshevik revolution there is none. When three bombs were thrown recently into the ranks of popular demonstration of gratitude to the gov ernment for taking measures to lower the prices of foodstuffs, most of the demon strators carried on as though nothing had happened. The bomb throwe<s were ar on as usual.

, RUMANIA WANTS TO
 FLOAT LOAN HERE
Would Sell Per Cent Bonds With out Lien on Forests and
 Oil Fields
By Associated Press

Bucharest, June 1.-Rumania is seeking to place loan in the United States and wants to give as security her per cent national bonds, without lien her for ests or her oil properties.
 According to Le Progress, the country's s most pressing problem is the reorganiza- tion of finances, which are in a confused condition, partly due to the dumping in Rumana of several billions of Austria Hungarian crowns, Russian and Ukra- nan rubles and other worthless monies. Within the past ten months the value Of the lei has decreased from 10 to the dollar to 55S0 to the dollar, according to the fluctuations of the market
 This depreciation is also due, it is stated, to an illegitimate influx of paper money from Germany. During the Ger man occupation the Germans established the General Bank of Rumania and is- sued large quantities of paper money bearing the name of this bank. It is suspected that since the armistice the Germans have smuggled into Rumania more of this money printed up in Ger many.
 Le Progress states that at the begin ming of the war the Rumanian national debt was only 50o,000,ooO lei and that now it is more than S0,000,0o0000, with no means Of estimating the exact amount of paper money in circulation. The standard paper money of the country at present is that issued by the National Bank of Rumania.
 In June paper money printed in the United States will go into circulation and all other monies will be withdrawn, it is believed. through the Rumanian government, since it has taken over the new provinces of Pennsylvania and Bulk ovina and Bessarabia, where crowns and rubles are in circulation, has not yet decided how it will solve the note circu- lation problem or what value will be given to these old monies
 Meanwhile the Rumanian government is making a determined effort to stamp out the new industries of running cheap monies over her frontiers and trading it for leis. At times men have been ar- rested with four, five or six billion patches of Austria Hungarian notes. Some of the men arrested have been Americans ostensibly on automobile tours from Hungary. Whenever captured these money runners are arrested and the money in their possession confiscated
