CONDITIONS ARE BAD
IN CILICIA DISTRICT
(Associatad Pressl

New York, Jan. 21-Constant fight
ing between the French forces of oc-
cupation and Turkish nationalists has
transformed the Cilicia district of
Asia Minor into an area of. ruin and
dissolution resembling the devastated
sections of northern France, declares
Miss Elizabeth Webb, an American
missionary and worker for the Near
East Relief.
In letter to the relief organiza-
ton, Miss Webb tells of trip from
Adana, recently delivered from
siege of IA weeks, to the town of
Deurt Vol. about so miles distant on
the Mediterranean Sea. The trip was
made on a French armored train.
"The Adana station itself was sug-
gestive of the general situation with
its barricades of sapd bags" she
wrote. GAS we moved down the track
we saw bent steel rails lying by the
side of the new ones that had just
been laid. Bridges that we passed
over were newly repaired and village
stations along the route were demol-
ished. The ruins were surrounded
by barbed wire entanglements and
broken telegraph poles, festooned with
tangled wire. witness to the events of
the past few months. No human be-
ings were in sight but the barbed wire
entanglements were hung with tin
cans, which. in the weeks of fighting
that preceded my visit had been put
Up by the defenders to prevent sur
prise attack, for one touch on the
wire would set the whole row of cans
jingling.
"In the four hours between Adana
and Toprak Kale we saw only one hu-
man being outside the vicinity of these
two places. This one exception was a
Turk riding forlorn looking horse
with a white rag hanging from a
pole stuck upright in his pack saddle
There were scores of threshing floors
where the cut wheat had been allowed
to rot in the sun and rain.
"The difficulties in Deurt Vel and
Euzerli have greatly increased by the
addition of about 5000 Armenian ref
| tugees to the population. Most of th'
refugees abandoned rich crops anc
houses that had been newly repaired
with aid from the Near East Relief
We found them in pitiful condition
Houses of two and three rooms wer,
sheltering four or five families Al

OPERATES
MUNICIPAL RAILROAD
ASSOCIATED Prass)

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 22.-The trus-
tees of the Cincinnati Southern rail-
read, the only municipality owned rail-
read in the United States, have for
warded to the Interstate Commerce
Commission a detailed statement of
the condition of the road, in support
Of an application of the Cincinnati,
New Orleans & Texas Pacific Railway,
lessees of the road, for APPROVAL of
plans to build new bridge across the
Ohio river, at Cincinnati.
The trustees propose to issue $2,-
100000 worth of bonds to pay for the
new bridge. The railway will bear
the sinking fund and interest charges
on these bonds, as we'll as the cost of
maintaining the bridge.
According to city officials and bank
ers the leasing of the railway system
from the city gives the Cincinnati,
New Orleans & Texas Pacific dis
tinct advantage over other roads. In
the present condition of the market
they say, a privately owned railroad
would have to offer high rate of in
terest to float its bonds. In this in
stance, however, the city of Cincin-
natl lends its credit, and the municipal
bonds issued for the purpose are ex-
lpected to find ready market at ar
interest rate of six per cent.
However, the city, too, will benefit
fcl when the bonds mature the sink.
ing fund created through the rentals
paid for the bridge will redeem them
and the city will own a structure
which did not cost it cent.

BALTIMORE PAYS HER
SCHOOL TEACHERS BETTER
ASSOCIATED Press)

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 22.-With an in
crease of 5000 per year to the aver
age teacher Baltimore is shown to
lead the list of American cities in the
amount of salary advances to be
granted to public school workers dur
ing the past year, according to a sur
vey of the national educational situa-
tion just completed by the Better
Schools Service, bureau of the Am
erican Federation Of Teachers.
This bureau has been compiling sta
tistics and reports here since the
teacher shortage became acute. Phil
adelphia is shown to bring up the rear
of all cities, its increase being only
frcm $50 to $120 per year.
The average increase for cities OF
more than 100000 population is listed
at 1865 per year. for cities of be.
tween $4,000 and 100000 1892, in
cities of $4,000 to $4,000, 1911.
Reports from all over the country
show that the general advance in sal
aries still leaves teachers more made
quately paid than previous to 1914,
said William T. Mccoy, director o
the survey in making the first finding
prblic.
Teachers are still at the bottom o
skilled workers in the wage SCALE" h
added. 'The measures of relief hav
been palliative only. They may hav
checked momentarily the disintegra
ton in the public school system o
this country but they have not arrest
ed it."

PORTO RICO

Mr.. and Mrs. H. C. Jones have re-
celved the following letter, descrip-
tive of Porto Rico, from their SON.
in-law, Mr.. c. NJ. Tucker, who with
his wife, nee Miss Helen Jones, arc
now making their home in that his
toric and beautiful island:
Mayaguez, P. R., Jan. 1.-At alst
we have arrived in Mayaguez. 1t took
US four days to come here from Pan
anna. We faced a storm all the way.
One minute the bow of the ship was
pointed toward the sky and the next
it was under the water. We shipped
as much as 400 tons of water at one
time. Helen was i'll all the way. 1t
did not bother me much. We had to
spend a day and night in San Juan.
1t is nice city and the principal sea-
port of the island.
Mayaguez is It's kilometers from
San Juan by rail- The trains are
faily good. The railroads are all
narrow gauge and look like toys to
US. The interior of the island is very
mountainous and the railroads follow
the coast. 1t is the prettiest country
| have seen and the roads are fine.
They are paved and form a network
connecting the principal cities.
The principal crops are sugar cane
and coffee. They also grow oranges,
lemons and cocoanuts, bananas and
other tropical fruits. The oranges and
bananas sell at one cent each and are
very fine. Cane is grown on the low
lands and coffee on the mountains.
The cane land sells for $500 an acre.
Coffee grows on bushes and small
trees growing in the shade of larger
trees. People go out in the woods
and plant the coffee trees, which re-
Cuire no attention at all. They are
through picking coffee now. 1t is a
red berry. Cane cutting will COM
mence next month. That is the busy
lseason.
The people vary in color from black
to white and all colors seem to be on
an equality. Nearly all speak Span
ish only. We are learning it rapidly.
Mayaguez is a city of about $4,000,
of whom about so are Americans. The
Porto Ricans are very polite and
friendly. In the center of the town
is a plaza. a raised concrete space
about 100 yards long and so yards
wide, surrounded by stone rail, and
with seats hall around. In the center
is statue of some "spick" hero. In
the evening nearly everyone goes
there and the young people walk
around and around from $50 till o.
They all dress in the best they have
and try to be very stylish.
We have electric lights, movies (in
Spanish), street cars, water works,
ETC., so you see we are a real up-to-
date town here.
/ believe it costs little less to live
than in the states. Many things
shipped here from there sell cheaper
here than there. Gasoline and motor
SUPPLIES are taxed heavily by the Porto
Rican government. Gas is 56 cents a
gallon There are a great many autos
here and not many Fords.
The climate is fine. There is a cool
breeze all the time and the mornings
are cool. The college is situated on a
high hill just outside the city and
commands a fine view Of valley, city
ocean and mountains.
; The banks here are the American
Colonial and the Royal Bank Of Can.

Gets Power Without Coal.

A large paper mill at Vargo, Sweden,
was recently rebuilt on the most i'm
proved lines. Formerly 10000 tons of
coal We're consumed annually, and the
problem Of maintaining this supply
was a very serious one, but at the
present time no coal whatever is con-
sumed at the plant. The boilerhouse
contains seven electric" boilers, each
of 5000 horsepower, and the current
enters the boilers at pressure of
10000 volts, without having to be
stepped down. Each of the boilers is
provided with three electrodes, and the
coupling arrangements are such that
steam generation can be regulated
within 5 per cent. It is stated that
full steam pressure can be raised in
from FIVE to ten minutes after switch
ing on the current, and considerable
economy in attendance is obtained, as
compared with coal firing.

MIGHT LEARN FROM FRENCH
American Writer Of Opinion There Are
Things His Countrymen Could
Probably Absorb.

They are a wonderful folk, these
French, and There is no people from
whom Americans can learn more of
the art of living. While we, with our
high rents, are harassed by the ques-
ton of where to live, they, in spite Of
their high rents, think only of how to
live. We would do we'll to spend less
thought on the abode and more on the
mode. We could learn from them to
forget our national timidty and to dis
cover our next-door neighbors, says
writer in Leslie's.
The contrast between the excited
buzz and chatter and gayety that
strikes one on entering even the most
homely French restaurant and the
frightened and tremulous whispering
thrown in between long intervals of
logged eating that goes on in our own
restaurants is enough to shame any
good American. We could le,.rn from
them to put aside our little pamphlets
on Facts About Sugar" long enough
to enjoy the beauty of hillside-and
still make enough money out of the
sugar business.
Our shopkeepers could learn that
politeness does not drive away trade.
We could have learned, alas, how to
drink and how not to drink behind
swing-doors, or too strongly or too
much. The American business man
who hopes to. do business with the
French must learn to deal with for
eigners as well as they do and not to
look upon what seems to him an ex-
aggerated politeness as rich bit of
comedy, fault Of which our business
men are, unfortunately, too often gull

The Cup That Cheers.

The tea Of commerce is the leaf
Of cultivated shrub which thrives
best in the Far East-in the Indian
peninsula and on some of the adjacent
islands, in large parts of China, and
in Japan. In only one part of the
world is tea known to grow wild, and
that is in the forests of Assam, the
northeastern province of British India
adjoining Burma, noted among other
things for having the heaviest rain
fallOf any part of the world. In the
Assam forests indigenous tea is
tree of vigorous growth attaining
height of thirty feet. In Assam Is
grown one-third of the tea produced
in India. 1t Is believed that the plant
was taken from Assam to China, and
1t was from China that the western
world learned the use of tea. The
first tea-house was opened in London
in 1857, and from that time tea be-
came a popular beverage.
