BuIlock's Creek Church.

The congregation of Bullocli's Greek
church will not only put new roof on
the church building, which is badly in
need of such repairs but will very
likely raise the necessary money to
paint the building it was learned yes
terday. While nothing definite to-
ward securing the services of a pastor
has been done as yet, it was learned
yesterday that the congregation is
looking around for suitable man and
may take definite steps toward Sc
curing pastor in the near future.
The parsonage at Bullock's Creek has
recently undergone considerable re-
pairs and the repaintilig of the resi-
dence yet remains to be done.

Homeless Choate

The late Hon. Joseph Fl. Choate, one
time ambassador to the Court of st.
James, told a story of his being ap-
preached one dark, wet, winter night
on one of the lonely thoroughfares of
London by a policeman. 81 say, old
chap" called the officer, "What are
you doing walking about in this beast
ly weather? Better go home" 81
have no home" replied Mr.. Choate. "I
am the American ambassador" The
good sense of the Republican Congress
in accepting the Morgan residence in
London will provide our future ambas-
sadors to that country with that which
Choate lacked, and the Longworth
amendment making provision for the
purchase of an American embassy in
France is one more stride in the "own
your own home" campaign for Ameri-
can-owned diplomatic residences. Now
is the best time to make the owner
ship general in every foreign country,
for we can now purchase the proper
ties far more cheaply because of de-
preciated foreign exchange.

Ap Unofficial Representative

1t is understood that the Turkish
Nationalist party, now in control of
affairs in the Ottoman Empire, have
refused to deal with Henry Morgen-
thau, appointed by Mr.. Wilson as med
ator in the Turkish American dispute.
II is stated on good authority that the
President was unofficially informed
soon after he had selected Mr.. Morgan
thau that he would be persona non
grata to the Turks, but he refused to
make any change. This is not the
first time that the Presidents stub
bornness has kept in office men who
have demonstrated their complete in
ability to discharge their duties effic-
iently. At this very moment the Ex-
ecutive Departments are encumbered
with scores of such appointees. For
tunately the Turkish affair involves
only Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Morgenthau re-
presents the American people in no
sense of the word, and any embarrass-
ment which his appointment may
cause must be borne by Mr.. Wilson
alone.

assert that since the United States is
an exporter of wheat, as also is Can
ada, the shipments of wheat from
Canada into the United States could
not have been of effect in causing the
fall in prices. The theory is plausible
but will not bear analysisy The fact
is thct the American millers were able
to supply their immediate needs by
purchases from Canada, leaving them
free to deal with the American pro-
ducer at their leisure, Since the Fed
eral Reserve System had put its dis
approval on extension of agricultural
loans, the American farmer was in no
position to wait. 1t is not contended
that the importations from Canada
were solely Irresponsible for the fall,
but the enormous increase in the
quantity of wheat imported leaves no
room for dispute of the assertion that
the importations had large influence
in smashing the American market If
not, why the impOrtations? If the
American miller ulu not get MS taIla-
dian wheat at a cut price, why did he
buy there instead of in America
Canadian wheat would not be shipped
to the United States unless there were
buyers here, and for every bushel of
Canadian wheat bought, there was
loss of market for bushel of United
States wheat. Any ten-year-old boy
can reason that far.

asserts that one-third of the veterans
receiving treatment at Government ex-
pense are neuro-psychiatric and that
six out of each ten men so afflicted
are insane. The failure of the Gov
