The idea of holding a missionary
week is the elimination of the action
of the federation in sending Mrs. A.
H. Backus and Mrs. Ruth Brown to
the Winona school of Missions, which
took place in June. Suggestions for
the plan were brought back by the
delegates from the school, it was said.
Further arrangements for the four

next few weeks, it is said.
The executive board of the Federal
ed missions which met to make the
preliminary arrangements, is COM

WASHINGTON MEETING
IS NOT TO INTERFERE
WITH LEAGUE MOVE
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, July 16.-The temporary
mixed commission for the reduction of
ornaments appointed by the League of
Nations, decided today that the con-
ference on this question to be called
by President Harding would not con-
tilct in any way with the Leagues dis
armament move.
Instead of adjourning its session i'm
mediately after converting, as had
been suggested, the commission there
fore will continue it's sessions, expect
ing its work to be useful in a pre-
paratory way for the Washington de-
Iliberations
Rene Viviani. Frances represent
alive and chairman of the committee,
in opening the meeting, declared that
the Washington conference, instead of
conflicting with the commission
study of disarmament, fitted in with
such study M. Viviani devoted con-
siderable time to discussing President
Harding's plan. He argued that the
leagues disarmament work could only
aid in accomplishing the objects
sought by the Washington meeting.
Attitude Approved.
The chairman's attitude was ap-
proved by H. A. L. Fisher, Great Brit
AIMS representative, who said that the
leagues commission should continue
its labors.
The other delegates, including DR..
Rivas Vicuna of Chile, and Senator
Carlo Schanzer, of Italy, concurred in
this opinion
The view expressed by delegates in
their rPnarEc ~.
United States was declining contact
with the league of nations, the forth
coming conference in Washington
would find itself obliged to consider
such conclusions as the leagues com
mission might prepare.
1t also was suggested that some of
the delegates to the Washington con-
ference would direct the attention of
that conference to the results of the
leagues disarmament commissions in
vestigations.
To Submit Report.
During the discussions, which en-.
sued. of the treaty signed at st. Ger
main for the suppression of the traffic
IN arms some of the delegates pointed
out that the United States was virtual.
ly the only country which was not a
party to that treaty, and the feeling
was expressed that the American gov.
eminent could not help taking cog
nlzance of that fact when considering
the disarmament question.
The principal work planned for the
commission is the reparation of a re-
port on the political, social and eco
nomic aspects of disarmament, which
would be submitted to the meeting OF
the assembly of the league of nations
next September.

DIRECTS
C0UNTRY'S OFFENSIVE
fBy Associated Press,

CONSTANTINOPLE, July liking
Constantine is undertaking the active
direction OF the Greek offensive
against the Turkish Nationalist, now
in progress, it IS stated in advices
reaching here from the front.
The Greek plan Tor this offensive,
it appears, was to strike directly at
the Turkish center at Kutaia (now re-
ported from Athens to have been &C.
cupied by the Creeks where the
third Nationalist army corps, COM
manded by Colonel Arif Bey, consti-
tuted the main defensive force, with
Nazim Bey commanding at Afiun.
Karahissar. to the south
The plan differs from that of the
offensive of last March, which called
for the armies from Brussa and Ushak
to operate in straight lines eastward
with their detectives behind Eski-
Shehr, whereas, the present plan,
while less ambitious, is considered in
military circles here more dangerous
to the Turks.
ATHENS, July 16.-Greek troops
have occupied the city of Kutaia, an
important point on the southern
branch of the Bagdad railroad. about
Is miles southeast of Brusse, it was
declared in private dispatch received
here last night from Smyrna. Ad-
vices from Asia Minor, where the
Greeks are conducting a general of
fensvie against the Turkish nation.
alists, indicated yesterday the Turks
were pouring Tartar and Kurd rein
forcements into the Kutaia area, and
it was indicated a severe battle might
take place.
An official statement, dealing with
yesterdays operations, said that the
Greek forces, which started from Tu-
lubunar and marched in a northerly
direction had crossed the Cynaris
river, occupied the Ermanli mountain
and developed an attack south Of
Kutaia on strongly organized enemy
positions.

TWENTY MILLIONS
RECOVERED FROM
FALSE TAX RETURNS
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 16. About
s20.00o,O00 was added to the. govern
ment's revenues during the fiscal year
just ended through recoveries from
false and fraudulent income tax re
turns, Commissioner Blair announced
today.
Indictments have been returned dur
ing the year in every section of the
country, he said. and many jail sen
fences have been imposed, ranging
from so days to year, in addition to
the fines and penalties, which were
also assessed.
Fraud upon the revenue by way oil
filing false and fraudulent tax returns
appears in many unique ways" Mr.
Blair said. Some are extremely
crude in their methods and reduce
their terms by merely emitting large
items of income from their returns
Thus, in one instance, a prominent
merchant in one of our larger cities
owned and operated two stores. Fol
three straight years he omitted en-
tirely from his returns the income Of
one OF the TWO stores.
Omits Salary
I'm another instance, prominent
man received approximately one-hal
of his income as salary from a cor
poration, of which he was presiden
and of which corporation he owned
practically all the stock. The corpora
ton took this salary as a deduction
and necessary expense; the mar
himself entirely omitted to report this
salary, never thinking that the cor
poration's return would be checked
against this. return.
"Manipulations of inventory are no
infrequently found, and these always
can be checked accurately by the fielC
examiners of the bureau and no bust
ness of any size can keep accurate
books and at the same time manipu
la te inventories.
Some taxpayers evidently are o.
the belief that they can hire unscrupu
lous accountants who reconstruc
their books, and then if the fraud i:
discovered blame it all on the &C
countants, to whom they usually pa,
large fees.
'In many instances field examiner:
have discovered that taxpayers keel
two sets of books, one set accuratel.
| setting forth the status of the bust
| ness and the other set fraudulent.
setting forth their income an: merel!
kept for the purpose of defraudin,
| the government. 1t is safe to say tina
in nine out of ten of these latter case
the fraud is discovered within a shor
| time after it is perpetrated."

SIX FORMER ENEMY
CRAFT ARE AT REST
ON ATLANTIC'S FLOOR
tBy Associated Press)

NORFOLK. Va, July 16-Six former
enemy war craft now have found a
last resting place on the floor of the
Atlantic Is miles off the Virginia
Capes. They will be joined next week
by the light cruiser Frankfurt and
dreadnaught Ostfrezland, the last of
the German ships turned over to the
United States for experimental pur-
poses.
Destroyers and battleships of the
Atlantic fleet sent down yesterday
with she'll fire two destroyers, the V-43
and S-132 in operations which con-
sumed much of the entire day. Naval
and army aircraft will undertake to
destroy the Frankfurt Monday, and the
Outfresland Wednesday. Should they
fail destroyers will shell the Frankfurt
and the Ostfreeland Wednesday.
Should they fail destroyers will shell
the Frankfurt and the Ostfreeland
will fall target to the IA inch guns
OF the SUPERINTENDENT Pennsylvania,
flagship of the Atlantic fleet
Operations Impressive.
While lacking much of the spectac.
ular which marked the destruction OF
the old destroyer G-102 Monday by
army aircraft, yesterdays operations
were impressive and were conducted
under weather conditions which naval
ofhcers said were far from favorable
the heavy seas kicked up by 25 knot
wind pitching and tossing the targets
as well as the attacking destroyers.
Within a few minutes after the fir
ing ceased, the V-43 was settling BY
the head. She filled gradually until
her forward deck was awash. Hel
end then was only a matter of min
utes. The stern hoisted higher and
higher out of the water until 1t was
at right angles. and as it slipped down
there was an explosion, caused by the
pressure of running water against the
air in the after-compartments
Three shells in the first salvos oil
seven found the mark, and before the
full 140 shots allotted the ship haG
been fired the old German destroyer
had been swept from stern to stern
explosions following explosions as
each shell found the mark. An early
shot carried away the main mast anG
| another set fire to the after-house
Others exploded below decks, causing
columns of smoke to rush from the
| ships tunnels
Finally Sinks
Despite this punishment, the Bis:
remained afloat until after the nava
| officers, foreign attaches and othel
observers who came down from Wash
ington on the naval transport Hender
son had started away on the home
ward trip. A radio message from the
Pennsylvania announced the sinking
at 1907 p. m. to those on the Hender
son and to the newspaper correspond
ents who had been transferred to the
destroyed Pickar I'd, which made {

MARKETING SCHEME
DEVISED BY CHAFFEE;
POST0FFICE TO AID

To bring producers and consumers
closer together by making cities OF
$4,000 population or more rural mar
ket centers, is a plan suggested by
F. P. Chaffee, secretary-manager OF
the Chamber of Commerce, and fav-
orably considered by the United
States post office department.
Outline of the plan was forwarded
to Will R. Hays, postmaster general, a
little over a week ago. A letter re-
ceived Saturday from the special as
sistant to Postmaster General Hays in
dicates that the postoffice department
will investigate the feasibility of the
plan by sending representative to
this city to confer with Mr.. Chaffee
and the local postmaster.
The plan as outlined by Mr.. Chat
fee is for the purpose of bringing pro-
ducers and consumers closer together
and at the same time possibly create
additional revenue for the parcel post
department of the post office.
Uses BIackboards
To do this, large blackboards would
be placed in Hobbies of such post of
fices, with columns lettered with the
name of the seller, phone number,
mail address, articles for sale, guam
tity and price.
According to Che plan time would
be set for morning or evening when
the farmer could call the postmaster
and give his name, address, and des-
cription of articles and prices OF pro-
duce for sale. This information would
be Immediately posted on bulletin
boards for the information Of the buy
ing public
1t is also suggested that persons
buying produce inform the postmaster
of the quantity purchased so that the
postmaster would know how much OF
a given farmers produce remained for
sale Mr.. Chaffee asked that if the
plan be found feasible, it be known
wherever used as THE Richmond,
Ind, Plan"
