FROM CANADA TO
BECOME REALITY
A ARRANGEMENTS BEEN COM
PLETED FOR 1000 TO DO PION.
EER WORK ON THEIR
NEW HOLDINGS.
Associated Press

SASKATOON, Sask., Nov. 80. -
The much heralded exodus of old col
ony church Mennonites from Western
Canada TO Northern Mexico is to be-
come reality for arrangements have
been completed whereby an advance
party of 1000 will leave the Hague
district in the near future 10 do pion-
eer work on their new holdings. There
are about thirty different sects Of
Mennonites who have purchased land
in South America. An official state
ment, signed by Bishop Wall, of the
Hague district declares: "0ur only
objection Ito staying in Canada) lies
in the fact that the concession grant
ed and ratified by the federal gov
eminent giving us entire right to con-
duct our schools without molestation
or restriction has now been repudiat-
ed The original charter granted
by the government was signed in the
year Of 1875.
The transfer Of property from the
Mennonites to Winnepeg land COM
pany is near completion and under the
terms Of the agreemet all land must
be vacated by December /, 1922. The
holdings Of the Mennonites in the Ha-
que district comprise eighty five
thousand acres.
This deal is entirely independents of
the Mennonite colonies Of Swift Cur
rent and Manitoba, although these
people have already contracted for
the purchase of blocks of land in
Northern Mexico. When the trek Of
old colony sect has been completed
total of eleven thousand of these
people will have left Canada for
Mexico. Another eleven thousand
will be affected by the move to South
America, but it was pointed out, they
are not members of the old colony
church.
1t is estimated that the old colony
church members leaving the West
will take shem total sum of four.
teen million dollars in cash, or about
fifteen thousand dollars net cash per
family on the average.

HAULING DOWN
AMERICAN FLAG
Plot Made To Put Up Turkish Flag
In Place Of American Made BY
Natives OF Island.

MANILA, p. j., Nov. 30. - Haul
ing down the American flag, hoisting
tie Turkish flag in it's place and driy-
ing out all American and Christian
Filipinos were parts Of an alleged plot
by certain Moro datus in Lanao pro-
vincek Island Of Mindanao, according
10 communication received today,
by the director of non Christian tribes
whose headquarters ID in Manila.
Alaoya Al0nto, who signs himself
Sultan Of Rafnain" makes the charge
and the communication IL signed by
twenty-five other sultans, two humid
red forty one datus, ten rajahs, one
hadii and more than three score other
Moros, who are followers Of Moham-
mechanism.
1--WE Moros, are trying to do all we
can in learning from our Christian
Filipino brothers, except the eating of
pigs, which Is forbidden by our relig-
ion, for we know that they are far
better than we are" writes the Sui
tan Of Ramain. 4The agreement Of
Datu Anal Manabiland with Datu
Anal Binaning to do foolishness cals-
ed the death Of the latter. We, the
young datus Of Lanao, will be very
glad if all those old danus are killed
.as they are hindering the progress Of
our province as well as the whole
Philippines. The aim Of their agree
ment was not only TO drive out the
Christian Filipinos but also the Amer
leans, because they want the Turkish
flag TO be raised over Lanao and the
Turks 10 have the place Of Americans
and Christian Filipinos.
The Sultan says the young datus
desire that compulsory attendance Of
public schools be enforced in Lanao
province, notwithstanding the opposi-
ton Of the old datus who fear that
the public school teaching will alien
ate their girls from the Mollammedan
faith.

ENGINEER
HAS TRIUMPHED
OVER OBSTACLES
MADE THE GIANT STEAMSHIP
LEVIATHAN READY FOR GO
ING TO SEA 2 TINES IN
LAST ; YEARS.
Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov 80. - For the
second time within three years, Am
erican engineering skill has triumph
ed over obstacles tending to prevent
the giant steamship Leyiathan, the
former pride of the German merchant
fleet, from going to sea.
The first time was in 1917, when
the great $4,000 ton liner interned
here at the beginning of the war,
was wilfully damaged by her own
engineers to prevent her from being
used as transport for American and
allied soldiers.
American engineers repaired the
damage and made her ready for trip
within a few weeks. Her record for
the war was 10 voyages on which she
carried going and coming one hundred
eighty four thousand two hundred
fifty three American soldiers. Sign
ing Of the armistice laid her up,
Then the United States Shipping
Board, her custodian for the United
States government, began to plan to
restore her TO the lrans-A Atlantic
trade as the premier American pas
senger liner. Fitting her for troops
had stripped her Of her former pala-
tial cabins, saloons and dining halls.
These had TO be restored
Her German builders were cabled
and asked for u set Of blue print
plans giving detail Of her eonstruc-
ton. They consented TO provide The
plans for $i,000000.
With an estimated cost of between
seven and ten million dollars facing
them for restoration, the Shipping
Board declined the offer and decided
to make its own plans, A small army
of engineers and craftsmen were put
to work to ascertain the details Of
her construction.
Partitions were removed in part,
floors ripped in certain sections, miles
Of telephone, electric light and sig
nal wires were traced, equal miles Of
pipe lines controlling heating dnd
plumbing systems were followed,
plates from keel to hurricane deck
were bored into and measured. The
Leviathan was at last put on paper
to the most minute detail.
Consequently, when bids were ask
ed of shipbuilders last month to re-
store the ship To her original grand
eur and with additional facilities and
accommodations, the Shipping Board
was able to submit to each bidder a
complete set Of plans and specifica-
tions. These bids will be opened on
December 20.
Under plans now prepared for the
bidders she will be entirely restored
as befitting her size. The grandeur Of
her original great dining saloons,
lounges, smoke rooms and libraries
will be retained and improved upon,
An immense tiled and marbled plunge
bath with accompanying rooms for
Turkish, electric and other baths will
be one Of her attractions. Suites once
designed as personal quarters for his
former Imperial Majesty the Emperor
Of Germany will be retained, but
suggestions Of royalty will be replac-
ed by luxurious fittings desired by
modern democracy.
Who will operate the Leyiathan
when restored to service and under
which houseflag she will sail is yet
to be determined by Shipping Board.

ROTARY MEMBERS
JOINED BY WIVES
At Their Regular Weekly Luncheon
On Last Eyening--Music Was
Very Much Enjoyed.

Tuesday was the regular monthly
meeting for the Rotarians and this
particular meeting will go down in
Greenwood Rotary history as being
one Of the most delightful and incest
meetings ever held. The thanks for
this are certainly due to Mesdafnes
Bob Pollard and Spec RobiEs5on,
These two conceived the idea of Civ
ing the Rotarians q Surprise party
and they certainly did it. When the
Rotarians came struggling into the
dining room what should greet their
sight but another table alongside OF
the regular table and at each seat
the better half Of Rotarian. II
was a sight to restore the blind and
as Mrs. Pollard expressed it the best
the men could do was to manage a
sickly grin. The seating arrange
ments were quickly broken up, Ro-
tarians found their wives and wives
found their Rotary husbands, which
was much better than the other seat
ing plan.
These ladies did not do anything
half way, the brought with them some
of the best musical talent IN the
South. The Kiwanis- Rotary Quar-
tette was there, Miss .Jesty and Mrs
Wright, Mr.. Bull and Miss Ruby
Philips and their music did much
10 add to the pleasure Of the evening,
The three Hinman boys and Bolts
Blackstone, who compose the kiWan-
is-Rotary quartette sang several
numbers, as only they can, directly
after the salad course. Roll call was
certainly different too, instead Of
the members names being called 1t
was that of his wife and she was re-
ouired to answer for her husband and
to give his classification and these
good ladies brought many things to
light during this roll call that was
not before known to their brother no.
tarians. They were given classitica-
tions that perhaps fit them better
than the ones they have heretofore
had.
At this time Miss Philips and Mr..
Bull played couple of beautiful
duets on the piano and as President
Pollard expressed it their minds GER
tainly travel as one when it comes to
the piano. They know how to play
for a fact.
Joe Stein did his part too, he fur
,;shaa 4 delightful turkey dinner.
Your correspondent believes, however,
that he is not entitled to the credit
for the table decorations and that
the ladies did this.
During the serving Of the dinner
things were quiet due to the fact that
most Of the Rotarians were rather

FIRST ANGLE OF DEFENSE
Presentation Evidence Stillman Side
Divorce Starts Today.
IAssociatHd Press DiSpdtchl
ASSOCIATED

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July 13.-For-
mer employees of Mrs. Florence Leeds
were expected to take the witness
stand today when the defense in the
suit of James A. Stillman, former
banker, for divorce from his wife be
gins presentation of evidence. The
first angle of the defense, 1t was said,
would deal with Mr.. Stillman's alleged
relations with Mrs. Leeds. For the
first time since the hearings started
in December, Mrs. Stillmar will not
be present. Advices from Chicago
said she was visiting friends there.
Five witnesses were under sub
poena to appear today. One of these
was said to be D. James Ogilvte of
New York, who was present at the
birth of Jay Ward Leeds In Septem-
Der, 1918. Sophie Bartkopf, who
nursed the infant, was another wit
ness summoned by Mrs. Stllman,
who accused her husband of being the
father of the Leeds child. Two notary
publics and a handwriting expert also
were expected to take the stand.
Their testimony, it said, would seek
to show that Mr.. Stillman posed as
FRANKLIN H. Leeds in his alleged re.
Iations with Mrs. Leeds, and signed
that name to legal documents.
