Kemal's Army Poorly Clad
 Men Full of Fight, However

WITH TIIEfGREEK ARMY IN AN. ATOLlA, Oct. 17.-(The Associated Press) If Mustapha Kemals army may be judged by the thousands Of prisoners which have passed through the Green lines, 1t is now little more than a loose organization of peas ants, mountaineers and herdsmen re- cruited by force from the countsy- side.
 The Associated Press correspond. ent saw 1000 of these captives at Greek army headquarters today. They resembled nothing so much as a band of ragamuffins.
 All were in torn. threadbare gar ments and most of them had no shoes. Less than 9 per cent had uniforms. A few of them were dressed in ragged underclothing and some were clad only in burlap bags. Only the officers were well attired but no two of their uniforms were alike. Scores of the prisoners were wearing the uniforms and shoes of dead Greek soldiers whom they had stripped.
 Conversation with the soldiers dis. closed that the rank and file of Kemafs army were pretty weary of

the war and were ready to give them selves up but assertions were pun ished with death. they said. The Of :, ficers interviewed. however, gave no such impression. They declared Kemal and his followers would fight to the bitter end.
 While the Turkish soldiers have had to live under wretched condi- tions and have been obliged to sub sist only. on such meagre rations as could be found along the countryside, their Greek adversaries pay frank tribute to their bravery and fighting qualities. They have stood well every form of attack, from rifle and artillery fire to bayonet and grenade assault.
 Although conscious of being out numbered two to one by the Greeks, they have clung to their position with fierce tenacity. The Greeks say this doggedness is due largely to their intense religious fanaticism. Their officers. the Greeks assert, have imbued the men with the idea that the Christians intend to take the whole of Turkey and ssbjugate an Moslems and that their incursions must be resisted to the death.

RENTALS MEAN LITTLE OPINION
 OF ONE BISHOP
Generally Aim Only to Bring 'Baptised Pagan" Into
 the Big Churches.


 CHICAGO, Oct. l7-Present days are dangerous days, Bishop Thomas Nicholson, of the Methodist Episcopal Church. declared in an address be- fore a meeting of Chicago preachers.
 Danger exists in the fact that for the first time we are beginning to work with generation which has grown up without instruction in reli- zion in its educational system," he continued.
 Revival meetings merely to in crease church membership will nor save this generation, the Bishop sald in making plea for larger vitality in the churches.
 II have no time to waste on I re- vival or any evangelistic movement which simply aims to increase church membership" he said. 'I have no disposition to try to get me"a bap- tized pagans into the Christian Church"

 of Wales Travels.

LONDON, Oct. 17-The battleship Renown will carry two Princes when she starts for India in October to carry the Prince of Wales on a visit to that empire. Prince Charles, the second son of the Belgian King All bert, is a midshipman on the Renown.

He is well acquainted with members of the British royal family for he was a cadet on board the vessel in which the British Prince George ,- gently made Mediterranean tour
 Eleven black cats have been taken on board the Renown as mascots.
 The battleship will have 65 off cers and 1,250 men aboard, in addi- tion to 16 boys from Eastney, who will form drum and fife band.
 The Renown will take with her for receptions several thousand extra cups and saucers, plates, knives forks and spoons. The provisions include 112,0O0 pounds of flour, 15,0O0 pounds of bully" beef 6,000 pounds of salmon and 2,O0O pounds of ships bircuits.
 For the use of the officers there will be stock of 195 900 cigarettes. 1000 dozen bottles of wine and 9.G00 cigars, the latter in addition to 5,0GO cigars taken by the Prince of Wales himself. Throughout his Australian tour the Prince preferred, during the day, to smoke pipe of tobacco but after dinner he invariably had Ha- vana.
 Apart from the monthly issue of loose and leaf tobacco the meas smoking needs will be met by the canteen on board and for them there will also be 5,S60 gallons of near rum and 4,000 gallons of lime juice.

 The Purchase
 Opportunities for the purchase of During the Crimean war, 1854. the Russians had offered to sell it to the United States for the sum of 5000, GOO, mainly to prevent it's falling into the hands of the British. This offer was declined by President Pierce and later also by President Buchanan. Several years later, however, Secre- tary of State William H. Seward be- came intensely interested concerning the purchase of the Territory. At this time the affairs of the nation were in a very unsettled condition. President Johnson's Impeachment trial was on, rumOrs of a depleted United States treasury were in the air and the excitement over the as- sassination of President Lincoln had not yet passed over. Secretary Sew ard thought to divert the attention of the people through the Alaska pur- chase. Consequently during the en. tire night of March 29, 1867. Seward and Baron StOeckel worked over the treaty between the United States and Russia, transferring the Territory. At 4 a. m. of the 30th the treaty was signed by both and was sent to the Senate the same day. This treaty was confirmed by the Senate on April 30, largely due to that wonder full speech of Senator Charles Sum ner. On May r bill had been in troduced into Congress by General M. P.

Who is to pay for the cabls- grams which had been necessary in the negotiations? These amounted to $30,000. Russia flatly refuse l. Finally the cable company agreed to reduce the amount and the United States paid the bill.
