Strenuous Attempt Will Be Made To
 Defeat Wilson
Continued from Page one)

(Continued from Page One) a business administration. The claim is that there are a great number or public servants who are not earning their salaries.
 The problem for the manufacturers and their friends to solve is first of all to select a man who can win in the primaries, and secondly to have him the type of man who will appeal to the voters who are disgusted with the past years of administration. A great many names are being men tioned in private circles, but no en- dorsement has as yet come to any of them from a powerful group. Most Republicans are said to believe that the renomination of Wilson means a great defection to the Democrats, and they are out to find a primary oppon- ent to the Mayor who will keep the party intact. What the Mayor and his supporters will do under such cir cumstances is another story, one on which no one is willing to hazard 8 guess at present. =..-=-

OTTOMAN ENGINE
 THING OF PAST

Angora, Sept. 2-The Ottoman En- pire is a thing of the past, and a new Nationalist government has sprung out of it's ruins, says Youssof Kemal Bey, the present Foreign Minister who concluded the Turkish-Russian treaty.
 eve Nationalists are different in our way of thinking and acting from the old-fashioned Turk of the story books" he went on. we have adopt ed the open. straightforward method in politics. We say what we want and what we think.
 "Our government is no longer Of a have been definitely separated. Our House of Representative is modelled on that of Western countries. We discuss, We dispute just as elsewhere.
 For better or worse, old Turkey has gone. There was once a time when strangers couldn't travel with out special police permission and cient religious prejudices against Christians. Today, anyone may travel safely without interference from the country people. Americans do it every day. This is one of several req sons why the old capitulations, to protect foreign Christian subjects, are not needed.
 There is another error about us. We are suspected of adopting the Russian Soviet form of government. We have always been democratic as a people and will continue so, I trust. But there is no necessity for such division of property. The error arose because we have turned to Soviet Rus sia for aid in our present war. As for that war with the Greeks | there can be no compromise. The Greek must go from our land"

Ham Offers To
 Give Vines To
 Cover Churches

(Continued from Page One) take home to his parents a pamphlet on this subject on September 9th. Tree sale will start at four points in Bridgeport on September 14th and continue through the 18th and 18th.
 If any clergyman is interested and will read this letter to his congrega- ton Sunday, September 4th or 11th, and will write me his desire to take a great deal of pleasure in pre- senting to each church whose build ing is built of masonry, either brick, stone or stucco, one English Ivy to plant on the north wall and one Engelman Ivy to plant on either of the other exposures. The English Ivy will require patience as it is quite typical of modern society and will quite easily fall off the church for a year or two. The Enge1man Ivy will grow rapidly and should reach the height of ten feet during next Sum mer and go straight up into the belfry in about three four years if it is given a little attention to prevent the caterpiIlars eating off the tendrils which stick to the wall by spraying arsenate of 1ead-A of a ID. to ten quarts of water.
 To each church whose building Is of wood, I shall take pleasure in pre- American Bittersweet These can be planted on either exposure and will make a very rapid growth but will require something to climb on, either a wire attached to the building or small lattice as these vines do not cling.

RADIO MESSAGE
 CAME FROM MARS
 MARC0NI BELIEVES

New York, Sept. 2 - Guglielmo Marconi, the wireless telegraph in- ventor, believes he has been in touch with a message from Mars in the form of wireless waves he picked up recently in the Mediterranean which indicated a wave length of 150,0o0 metres, against a maximum of 14,OO0 metres so far produced in this world by radio stations of the highest power.
 terday by J. c. H. Macbeth, London manager of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company at luncheon of the Rotary Club in the Hotel Mo Alpin.
 MT. Macbeth said the inventor in was making atmospheric experim ents on board his yacht the Elettra. The regularity of the waves disproved any supposition that they should have been caused by electrical disturbances and the inference that remained was that Mars or some other planet had been trying to communicate with the earth. That Is the conclusion of Mar conf and the wireless experts with whom he has discussed the Dhenome- non.
 It is possible, MT. Macbeth said, that an interpretation may be made, although there was nothing in the waves resembling our messages ex- code.
 We don't know how far wireless waves will travel, so it not impossi- b1e that some planet, in which the wireless method has perhaps been perfected may be trying get into communication with us. We contin- ual1y hear high-powered taps. with such regularity as to dispel absolutely any suggestion that they can come from te ordinary electrical activities of the atmosphere. Of course there is the language barrier against the interpretation of messages from another planet, but the Germans were able in three weeks to decipher English messages and we theirs. There is no station on the globe that could produce such waves as Marconi met; every station is known, by inter national agreement"
 Marconi has long believed that radio communication would ultimate ly be set up among the planets. After he had so expressed himself in 1919, Nicola Tesla said he fully agreed with him, for in 1899 he had obtained signals at his wireless plant in Colo rado which proved to have emanated from a planet. He wrote articles on te signals for the Century Magazine of June, 1900, and again for the Har- yard Illustrated Magazine in 1906.

GERMANS ARE VERY STRONG
 COMPETITORS

Buenos Aires. Sept. 2-American business in Argentina is at present man competition, according to Ed ward F. Feely, American Conner cial Attache in Buenos Aires.
 'In many lines" he says, i've are losing business and from the present outlook it appears that this condition will probably continue for some time as the Germans are able to offer low CT prices in a number of cases, when the high rate of the American dollar is take ninto consid eration.
 However, it may be accepted as a certainty that in the long run Americans need have no great fear of German or other competition Once a normal balance has been es- tablished in international trade, so that the American trader will not be handicapped by the high quotation of the dollar, am confident that Amer jean manufacturers will be able to hold their own with any country
 In such items as machinery, tools, small hardware of all kinds, paper, wire, etc, competition is particularly keen, and the American manufacturer when price alone is the principal con- sideration.
 Bids recently received by the Di- vision of Navigation and Ports of the Ministry of Public Works illustrate the comparison between British, American and German prices Out of ten items bid on, the Germans were able to undersell their competitors in nine cases and got the business. l In several instances the low Ger | man bid was far below the level of the competing bids, indicating that the firms offering the goods were willing to sacrifice profits in order to get business. One such case, says MT. Feely, showed clear evidence of dumping, the firm making the big quoting a price equivalent to about s1.OOO below the factory price in Germany and not taking into account | insurance freight and other costs of l delivery.
 Many firms that before the war prof1ted from strong German connec-
 tions have been making efforts to win | hack their places in the market Some | of these have gone so far as to help
 re4fnance the German factories so as
 to be able to get quick deliveries. ln
 one such case a. sewing machlne agency helped the factory to compete
 with American sewing machines.
 While Germany. however, is able to underseH American merchants m he | Argentine market on many items, 1n lecturers have constderaole ad- va ntage These are in the matters o1 - quick delivery and credits At the
 nresent time, German manufacturers in most cases are demanding either confirmed credit before acceptance o1 order or payment in advance.
 Among other countries that are
 making an effort to increase the11 business in Argentina. is Belgium hIct
 is offering steel products in particu- lar at attractive rates, but which, like | Germany, seemingly is not able te offer adequate credit facilities.
 Among the recommendations thai are made for strengthening American trade relations in Argentina are the | maintenance of local offices under permanent American management an6 fha investment of American capita; in the country. It is pointed out t1,at while the high price of the doE lar is a disadvantage in selling goods here- If is a decided advantage 1T making Investments
