Citizenship Is a
Business Matter
In the Near East

Constantinople. Turkey. June 10
Citizenship is a commercial commodi-
y which is hawked about in the cities
OF the Levant with an Indifference
which makes westerners wonder
whether the mixed commercial popu-
lations Of near eastern cities are capa-
bic OF patriotism and devotion to any
country
An American business man IN Con-
stantinople who was recently employ
ing some agents asked many appif-
cants what their citizenship was
Without exception the men produced
passports from most OF the Balkan
states and expressed a willingness TO
feign any citizenship which might be
necessary and to change as circum-
stances might demand. When the
American expressed surprise they as
sured him Il was very easy to get
papers liked up for a consideration
Most OF the Levantines who had
German and Austrian citizenship
have very speedily taken Czecho-
Slovak papers or say they have be-
come Jugo-Slavs. Il Is Just as easy
for them TO change their nationality
as it IS for the chameleon to change
his colors- Many Levantine firms
have shuffled the citizenship Of their
members in such a manner as to
have no difficulty in meeting any
business emergencies which may
arise. and make claims on the various
consular and diplomatic representa-
tives for assistance in their CONNER
cial operations.
The fashion in citizenship changes
in Constatntinople and other near
eastern ports lust as the styles in
hats Greek citizenship has recently
become very popular because OF the
good treatment Greece had at the
hands OF the peace conference and
the general belief that Great Britain
is definitely behind Greek CONNER
cial Interests and expects to do Its
business largely through Greek inter-
mediaries.

Has White Shawl for the
Brides Who Come to the
Altar Scantily Attired.
BY BISHOP WELDON,
Dean Of Durham.

I ONDON, Eng, June 19.-There ap-
l. peared in the press recently q
story which throws a somewhat
iurld light upon modern society
It seems that the parish priest OF q
village not far from Paris has been
shocked BY the insufficiency Of the
clothes in which brides Of the present
day come to the altar. He has there
fore written in his parochial maya
zine the following caustic paragraph:
4 quite understand the difficulties
attaching 10 the high cost OF living.
and especially the increase in the
high price OF clothing material I
sympathize keenly with the girls Whc
can only afford enough material for
half a dress. leaving a low neck and
bare arms. I have therefore bought
a perfectly good white wooden shawl
It viii be at the disposal OF all light
y dressed brides during the marriage
ceremony at my church. which is
very cold"
The scanty attire Of which the
priest complains may or may not IN
his village be due to poverty, but
il, I am afraid. peculiar to the poor
alone.
Do Not DreEs-Undress.
Ladies in high society have OF late
inclined, after the example of soma
artists in the theaters and music
that critic has spoken OF them not
now as dressing, but rather as IN
dressing for a dinner party or dance.
Fashion has seldom offended so
gravely against good sense and good
taste as in reducing ladies' dress to a
minimum For the use Of dress as
covering Of the human body Is one Of
the marks which distinguish civiiiza-
ton from barbarlsm-
There can be little doubt that the
clergy will and must raise their
voices in protest against the insuffi-
cheney Of modern dress. whether in
the higher or in the lower social
circles.
For the exposure Of the person can
do no good: II is dangerous 70 health
IN northern climate. and II may do
much harm by exciting emotions
which IL is the office OF civilization
as well as Of religion 70 hold IN check.
50 Tar as am aware It has seldom
or never happened that brides who
are poor in England have presented
themselves without adequate cloth
ing at the altar.
A clergyman would be justified in
refusing TO let so sacred a service as
the determination OF holy matrimony
be profaned or debased by conformity
to a habit which. II It has prevailed

EWS ACCUSED OF SEEKING TO RULE WORLD
Sir Conan Doyle ANSWERS
Attack On SpirituaIiSna
Saws Belief Is One Of the
Strongest Reinforcements
Of Religion.

n oNDON. Eng. June 1s.-sir Arthur
Il Conan Doyle has accepted as a
challenge the recently published
statements Of four bishops OF the
English church on spiritualism. In
a letter TO the Globe he attacks the
church as standing IN the way Of
progress. Conan Doyle said:
1T would be difficult to recall any
great forward movement OF - "a,
human race which has not met with
opposition from the church OF the
time-the supreme example being
recorded In the new testament
such protests delay progress but
cannot ultimately hinder it. FOR COD

prelates cannot perceive that ma
terlalism is the rear curse Of the age,
and especially that most subtle form
OF materialism which clothes itself

but has nothing OF the real spirit
within.
sIf this were clearly understood.
then earnest men OF all sects would
see that in spiritualism. with Its
definite proofs Of Independent post
norton existence. there is such a re-
enforcement for true religion as has
not been since the apostolic age.

which taught me the basic facts Of
supernatural religion-that the indi-
vidual carries on. and that spiritual
evolution and Improvement are the
objects Of our existence
at Il surely n matter Of com
mon knowledge that splritualism
has greatly Increased during the
last five years. During that time
there has been n marked drop in
the lunacy statistics.
How can the bishop Of Hereford
reconcile that fact with his assertion
that the cult leads to mental and
moral debnitation2
aOver excitement and abuse OF
anything Is harmful but that applies
equally 10 every religion under the

NY own view IS that even II II
