CLERGYMEN AND YELLOW

London. (By Mail to United Press. }
Should Clergyman wear a~~yelloW
wais'tcoat?
This question is vexing the minds
of the Lower House ConvOcatiOn at
Westminster.
Canon Wood pointed Out That one
of the evil results o. the war was
that the younger clergy were aban-
dCning the ordinary distinctive dress.
AT church gathering not long
ago. he said. 81 saw young priest
in secular garb with a flaming yellow
waistccat. 1t excited my amazement.
1t was an outward and visible sign
to failure to recognize that he is be-
ing apart from other men, being a
man of God, not man Of the world. y
However, according to a number of
the younger clergy who expressed
their views, yellow waistcoat can

CREEKS LONG DREAM

Smyrne, Asia Minor (By Mail to

her boundaries-on paper-so as to
include practically all of the ex-Turk-
lsh Levant; she may occupy the en-
tire coastline of the Aegean and Mar
mora seas, with the active or non
commltal assistance of the allies, but
the long dreamed of Hellenization of
the former Byzantine empire is a vir-
tual impossibility.
This is the firm conviction of on
llghtencd and unprecedented Greek
and entente officials in Smyrna to-
day. The situation in the city Of
Smyrne, for instance, is pointed to as

vi this number, fully one-third are
pure Turkish. Greeks, Armenians
and Jews, evenly divided, make up
the other two-thirds, including, of
course, the scattering of Europeans
and Levantines.
With the fatalism of his race, the
native Turk has resigned himself to
MS tate. He realizes that the Otto

cerned, is no more He has seen the
sultan gradually and irrevocably

SO far as the Turk is concerned,
the Greeks are not worried. They

and the Turk do not mix. In a few

GERMANY IS DUMPING
GOODS INTO BELGIUM

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Brussels. Shy MaiD In for
nal note addressed to the Belgian
government, the Belgian Federation
of Contractors charges Germany with
perfecting a gigantic system of dump
ing. This is declared to be SO for
midable that no industry outside of
Germany can fight against it unless
determined and rapid action are
taken at once.
1t is further charged that the
whole financial power of the German
state has been placed at the disposal
of German industry, enabling Ger
man firms to grant the most liberal
kind Of terms in the way of long time
credits. This is protection the Bel
g!an contractors declare.
This incident arose between the
Belgian government and the Belgian
Federation of Contract rs, when the
government recently accepted a Ger
man proposal to supply rolling stock
for the Belgian state railways.
Incorporated in the protest is de-
nunciation of governmental policy in
oItNi ing WI man S,ooNio az Stil q ppl
ent saving of 100000 francs when,
it is declared, Belgium will, in the
long run, stand to lose 21.0OO,O0U
francs by reason Of unemployment
and soforth. =, ,%A
The protest declares it is a false
policy to consider solely and wholly
the mere question of lowness Of price
and quickness of delivery and makes
plea for governmental assistance
for strictly national industries, now
suffering from the scarcity of for
eign orders, thereby making local
business all the more valuable.
BY awarding governmental orders
to foreign country, the protest
points out, Bcgium is deprived of a
valuable source Of revenue at time
when it is badly needed.

Should the excavator happen on it,
however, he will discover from docu-
ments that in the year 1921 a build

the Bush Terminal company and with
the thoughtful idea of perpetuating
the memory of the civilization of the

lntorced concrete beneth the founda-

bearder soldier of 1000 years hense

carefully removed all hair from their

old may puzzle him some, and there's
no telling what he'll make out of a

company, outlining the scheme, ex-
planned that in an excavation which
is made air-tight and water-tight by
concrete several feet thick articles
might by preserved for hundreds or
thousands of years.
