Greeks Give Up
Proposed Campaign
Against Turks in Asia

Paris, March 22.-(By the A. Pr
The new Greek offensive against the
Turks in Asia Minor which was plan
ned for the end of March has been
abandoned, at least for the present,
according to dispatches received by the
French foreign office today.
Instructions to the Greek army,
Which. it is believed, called for an
advance during the last days of this
month, have been cancelled, the ad-
vices said, although Greek troops con-
tinue to debark at Smyrna.
In French official circles the change
in the Greek plans is believed to be
due to the attitude of strong disap-
prevail taken by England and France
and also by the fact that the project
cd offensive probably would not devel-
op the success desired.

GOOD TALK
At CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE

At the business mems luncheon at
the Hammond Chamber of Commerce
rooms this noon. enc Of the best talks
heard at that meeting for some tune
was given by Hr. Robert Roy Denny
If Chicago. Mr.. Denny's subject was
The Relation Of the Rotary club to
the Chamber of Commerce" and it
would be hard to find man better
able to talk on this subject. Mr.. Denny
- a member Of the Illinois Chamber
Of Commerce and the Chicago Rotary
club and IS first vice president of the
International Rotary club. lie was
active in the organization Of three
clubs on the western coast. and in all
respects is unusually weu qualified
to discuss the meaning and purpose
Of Rotary.
Rotary IS Ike religion" said Mr..
Denny we know what it means to
US. but not what it means 10 the other
man I VIII attempt to explain what
1t means to the Rotarian.
The purpose of the organization is
best shown by its motto He profits
most who serves best Rotary is in
tended to plow the land that exists
between the church and commerce. All
Rotariaps should be members Of the
chamber Of commerce. but should keep
out of the chamber Of commerce field
as an organization. The members
should reintroduce the personal eli
n husfUesz
you all know what will happen to
this napkin when I drop it, said Mr.
Denny. There IS an immutabIo law
which governs it the moment l re-
lease 1t from my hand. The law of
gravitation Is interchangeable and gov
erus all inanimate objects. So there
is a law governing man. It " Love
thy neighbor as thyself' and ali our
troubles are traceable 10 some viola
tion of that law. Such a violation IS
the direct cause Of the late war. When
nations learn to love their neighbors
as they love themselves, then we viii
have no more war. When the business
man learns to put the personal ele-
ment into his relations with his men.
then the walking delegate will lose
his leadership. The world IS divided
into two classes of men-those who
lead and those who follow. The man
who has the respect of his men. need
have no fear OF their following an
other leader.
Have an open shop IN your schools
churches and above all In your busl-
ness. Don't bar any business from
your town. Welcome competition. for
after all your object and the object
of your competitor IS TO serve the
people"
Jesse Wilson, president ot the Ham
mond Chamber Of Commerce, an
nounced that the amalgamation biz.
which had been indorsed by the Ham
mond and East Chicago Chamber OF
had passed the Indiana
legislature and had been approved by
the governor. It was also suggested
that the organization telegraph GOV.

Dor bill which has come to him for

the bundle and soon the little tike had
more fond mothers and daddies how

East Chicago ever dreamed of having.
A call was sent TO the police statiol
at s o'clock announcing the find. Miss
Joule Lenore Stevenson, city nurse,
and DR.. Frank Townsley were sent to
