summers abroad In travel In the East
and In Erope. This experience has
given him wide acquaintance with
peoples and countries and conditions
and he has met many interesting and
notable persons.
In his talk before the club Mr..
Mills discussed the different nation
liities, Turk, Greek, Armenian, and
Bulgarian, pointing out the good
points and the weakness OF eacn. He
,ould not excuse the Turk for the ter.
rible cruelties he has pyacticed. but
said that the individual Turk is a
pleasing person to meet. and is gen
orally moral and honest. The Turk.
sh boys gave very little trouble in
the college, and got along on friend.

was the solution OF race feeling.
In regard to the question OF Con

allies or the League OF Nations. His
preference would be to see Constants

Mr.. Mills paid high tribute 20 the
British. They are the people who do

tiles OF Alexandria and Cairo in
egypt which under British innuence
we're as attractive and prosperous
titles as any anywhere. He said If

Mr.. Mills described the beauty and
licturesqueness OF Constant.nople,
which he believed after seeing many
famous cities TO be the most Deauti

count OF its polyglot population and
some interesting and amusing sights
as we'll es some pathetic ones.
In concluding Mr.. Mills spoke a
few words in regard to the matter OF

PROTESTANTS ACT
ON TURKISH CRISIS
Church Council Asks Harding
Be Told What Is Demanded
by Best Element.

Az appeal to the 100000 Protestant
churches in the United States that
they demand this country accept its
moral responsibility" in the near
east crisis and assume its place with
the other great powers at the peace
conference ito secure permanent pro-
lection and religious liberties for
the minorities" there was sent out
from Washington today by the Fed
eral Council of Churches.
1t is a call for every Protestant
Church in America to act in concert
Tor the shaping in this country of a
definite American policy on the new
situation in the near east. land to
tell President Harding and Congress
what the best element in this nation
believes should be done. The coun-
clared 1t had arrived at this decision
only after conferences between re-
ligious leaders representing many
millions of persons.
only by bringing to bear the un-
selfish influence of the United States
suffering brought to an end In tho
theater of the recent hostilities be-
tween Greece and Turkey. To this
end the councils pronouncement ask
ed American churchmen to do four
things:
Moral Responsibility Seen.
l. To express their conviction that
America has a moral responsibility in
the present situation in the near east
.. To tell President Harding and their
representatives in Congress that they
want the United States to exert its in
fiuence to secure permanent protection
and religious liberties for the minorities
in the near east
3. To demand that this country join
great moral issues at stake in the near
east
4. To give literally to the relief Of
the sufferers.
In its call the council said such ac-
ton was prompted by the widespread
east calls for the exercise of the full
moral influences of our nation to secure
the protection of the oppressed peoples
and the establishment of peace and JUS
tice"
There is something for the members
of every church to do" the appeal con-
tinued They can show their repre-
sentatives at Washington that the peo-
pie of America do not desire their ma
ton to pursue policy Of inaction toward
the near east. They can declare that
the humane and righteous ends which
they seek can be secured by the fear
less and adequate use of our moral in
fluence. And they can at once convince
the government i'll Washington that they
want that influence exerted to the utter
most in every just and wise way.
Seeks to Help GoveEnment.
by such concerted action from
Christian people all over the land we
may help the government to discern
and fulfill our country's duty in be-
half of the afflicted people who look
to us for present relief and for some
hope of security for the future.
While it may not be the business of
the church to urge special forms of
political action or influence, 1t is the
church's business to give expression
to its conviction that our govern
ment will have the complete support
of the people of this land in using
it's full moral influence to secure the
protection of the oppressed peoples
of the near east"

Stricken Flight.

SAMSOUN, Turkey. Nov Is
Practically all the Christian popu-
lation OF Anatolia is in mad flight
to get out of Turkey. There are
10000 Christians here awaiting
transportation from Samsoun and
only three ships available to carry
them. Forty thousand other Chris.
tians are headed In this direction
from the interior.
Only those. who. like myself,
have followed up the stream ot
refugees from their source, can ap'
preciate the tragedy OF this vast
flight which is destined to depopu'
late Anatolia.
AS soon as the Greek and Ar
menian Christians learned that the
Turks would permit them to leave
the country they were seized with
unreasoning panic. A great trek
was started which Is now at its
flood tide,
All the roads converging upon
Samsoun are blocked. Men, wom-
| en- and children, carrying such poor
| little packs of household goods as
they could carry away with them
make up the terror-stricken mass Of
| fugitives.
From every village crowds OF ST.
lent. panic-stricken refugees march
slowly to the sea. Some fall by the
wayside and perish. Old men and
women and young children drop
from the procession, and are left to
their fate. Bullocks and lame
horses, attached to little carts. toll
painfully forward.
Starvation and pestilence threat
en- the crowded refugees at Sam
soun. But they are cheerful upon
their arrival even though they have
left their homes behind. They are
willing to start life over again in
strange land II they have the
promise of liberty.

parture of men between the ages Of
nineteen and fifty-five.
