Turks Are Still Polite

 Deep is the contrast between him and the soldiers and civilians brought here by the allied occupation of Con- stantinople or seeking trade or adven- ture.
 These tramp up and down the streets, sometimes sober sometimes drunk, depending on the time of night, elbowing, fighting. swearing, crawling, as 1t suits their humor.
 Stamboul, the Turkish quarter, be- comes a sedate place at nightfall, while Pera, the European quarter, drops its daylight garb of trooping throngs and reckless drivers and be- comes a city of immense capacity for evil. Gambling dens, cafes and dance halls open and sailors from the fleets come ashore and declare they twill not go home until morning"

Everybody in the Central Section of Communist Agitation Is

Police Explain That Their PaIpabIe Nervousness Arises From the Fact That the Communists Outnum-
 Der Them Ten to One.

Halle, Germany.-The security po- lice organization of middle Germany, which has been the scene of wide spread Bolshevik agitation and ire quent clashes between communists and government forces, has developed a system of espionage which enables 1t to record the daily activities of vir- tually every citizen and to trace minutely the movements Of strangers.
 The latter, however, without excep- tiOn, are treated as suspicious char acters until the authorities are con- vinced their business is legitimate and the most genuine official documents, the police are not easily persuaded that a stranger, and particularly a foreigner, Is not pondering deep plots and dark deeds against the govern ment.
 In the latest rioting here and in other central German cities, when nearly 4,000 communists were arrest ed, innocent circumstances often as- sumed a sinister aspect in the minds of the police.

from becoming a national disgrace.
 In consequence of her action 1,OO0,- 900 drachmae Equivalent to about $75,OO0 at present rates of exchange) were collected for the benefit of the refugees and 15 additional physicians were sent to Saloniki.
 The miserable condition of the refu- gees had been reported to the queen by Colonel Olds, the American Red Cross commissioner for Europe, who inspected their camp. Queen Sophie then sent Dr. TheophanOs Aggelopou- los, an eminent sanitary expert, as her personal representative to take charge of the camp. He brought a corps of ten physicians. Until that time only one physician had administered to the thousands i'll among the refugees. There had been no one to look after sanitation.
 Americans Send Aid.
 The American Red Cross has sent to Saloniki Col. Henry A. Shaw of the United States army medical corps, with a party of physicians and nurses to aid the Greek government in the care of the refugees. Colonel Shaw plans to gather 1000 of the orphans in old French barracks, several miles from the present camp, where the children will be given medical atten- tion, while food will be furnished by the Greek government. The expenses of this work will be borne by the gov ernment.
 Miss Lillian Spellman, a Boston nurse, is conducting Red Cross dis pensary at the camp, where she dis tributes cans of milk and soon will dls- tribute clothing to the small children.
 Many of the refugees were lured by promise of rich lands in Macedonia, but the majority fled from the Cau- casus, before the advances of the Bol- sheviki and the Turkish nationals un- der Kemal Pasha.

 The 10000 are huddled together in barracks which were not intended to hold half that number. A Red Cross inspector who visited the camp reports that disease such as typhus, dysentery and influenza is prevalent, and that more than 1,OOV O1 lne ieAuseeS oleu within a month.

adopted the Borah amendment to the
 naval appropriation bill which for a
 time was opposed by the administra-
 tiOn, and there is little doubt that the house will accept its inclusion in the measure and that the President will give it his approval. The amendment authorizes and requests the President to invite the governments of Great Britain and Japan to confer with the United States for the purpose of promptly entering into an understand ing by which the naval expenditures and building programs of the three nations shall be substantially reduced annually during the next five years. It is believed President Harding will issue the call for the conference at an early date after the navy bill becomes law.
 The senate rejected the plan of the naval affairs committee for the estab- lishment of navy base at Alameda, in San Francisco bay, to cost $100,OO0,- 900, the opposition including several senators who asserted the plan was real estate deal. Later the regulars regained control and the committees amendment providing for an enlist ment strength of 10000 for the navy was adopted. The house bill reduced the number to 100000. Altogether the senate bill carries about $1OO,0O0,0OO more than the house measure, and it may be tied up in conference for some time. One feature that may cause de lay is the restoration of the appropria- ton for the navy yard at Charleston, S. c. This apparently induced many Southern senators to vote for the in- crease in enlisted strength.

President Harding journeyed to New York on the Mayfiower early in the week and took part in memorial services on the piers of Hoboken for more than five thousand American sol diers who died abroad and whose bodies had just been brought home. Standing before the long rows of flag draped coffins, the President delivered an address notable for pathos and sentiment. He said: 'I find a hundred thousand sorrows touching my heart, and there is ringing in my ears, like an admOnition eternal, an insistent call-'It must not be again! It must not be again' God grant that it will not be, and let a practical people join in cooperation with God to the end that it shall not be.
 "I would not wish a nation for which men are not willing to fight. and If need be to die, but l do wish for a nation where it is not necessary to ask for that sacrifice"
 In the evening MT. Harding attend ed a banquet of business and financial leaders, to whom he said his aspira- tion was to inaugurate an era of un- derstanding between the government and the people and between nations.

 In Paris it is stated that the allies are likely to establish Upper Silesia as an autonomous state under the ad- ministration of the League of Nations or the supreme council.
