Speaks Highly of This Home Made
 Cough Remedy
Says It Acts With Unusual Speed Loosens the Mucus-RelleVes the Irritation and Stops the Cough
Costs Next to Nothing-for Big
 Supply.

Whenever anyone in my tamlly catches cold and begins to cough and sneeze and hawk and breathe heavy, if doesn't take me many minutes to fix up a remedy that will drive away all such troubles in double quick time.
 It's no secret-anyone can make a half pint of the finest cough medl- cine in the world for a trif1lng sum. Get from any druggist one ounce of Parmint (double strength)- ito , this add a little granulated. sugar and enough water to make one half pint that's all there is to it.
 But now you've got real medl- cine-mind yon-the first spoonful you take acts directly on the mem- brane of the throat and nose, the tickling ceases almost iastantly-the inflammation begins to disappear LID comes the stubborn mucus and often in A hours every trace of the cough that frightened you is gone.
 It's really remarkable how this home made remedy acts on the mucous membrane and that is one reason it is so helpful to thousands of Catarrh sufferers.

piled: Those who know anything of Syrian politics will admit that so far the mandate system has proven an absolute failure. On the one hand it introduced fresh encroachments on the sovereignty of our beloved coun- try in favor of an imperialistic pow CT, and on the other hand 1t brought to us great social as well as com merciAl suffering, due to the separa- tion of Syria from her sister coun- try, Palestine"
 Nazel al Abed complained that the world. and especially America, is SO i'll informed about Syria. The French occupation" she asserted, has been curse instead of bless ing. We Syrian people today are treated like slaves We are forced to accept French habits, French cus- toms. French civilization and even French language. in spite of our selves. Is 1t any wonder that we re- volted last May?
 All we ask now is to be left alone free to rebuild our country in undis- turbed quiet: free to live our life in our own way, and to solve our prob- lems after our own manners We still hope that America will not fail to help us realize our aspirations"

PELICAN EAMILY IS
 SERIOUSLY ACCUSED
Professor Henry Ward Makes
 Sensational Charges

Yellowstone Park, Wyo., Sept. l. Excitment is rife in the wild animal community of the park since the scandal about MT. Pelican received public attention. The ducks are quacking about 1t, the squirrels are chattering it and the bobcats are scattering 1t broadcast in their shrill voices
 Throughout all the whispers and nudges of neighbors as he passes, MT. Pelican maintains his stately mien, seemingly unconscious of the jibes of the multitude. His action would in- dicate he still holds his valued place in the community.
 His trouble started with the charge by Prof. Henry B. Ward, head of the department of zoology of the Uni versity of Illinois. that he is a trout "hog" and violator of all the tenets of good sportsmanship, Proof of these charges probably will mean that Mir. Pelican will become an outcast with everyone's door closed to him and everyone's hand against him.
 Professor Ward is conducting an exhaustive investigation for the fed eral bureau of fisheries at Lake Yel- lowstone in Yellowstone National park is to their relationship between the pelican and the trout supply. His investigation, which has been pro- gressing several weeks. will continue through the present season.
 The flock of pelicans that live and breed on Lake Yellowstone numbers about 400. They Summer" aristo- cratically at the lake. feasting on the hest the land affords from spring un- til September. then go to their win ter resorts along the Gulf of Mexico.
 The bird diets almost exclusively on fish, and, so far as the Yellow lakes and streams are concerned, this means exclusively on trout. He estimates that the 400 pelicans con sume more trout than are taken dur ing an entire season by sportsmen.
 The pelican is no respecter of size limits or open seasons, Professor Ward charges. He declared he had seen platoon of 36 pelicans ranged across a stream in regular for nation, praying on the trout as they swam up to spawn. Hitherto, the stream had yielded trout eggs by the millions but hatchery men this year could gather only a fraction of the normal amount.
 The fact is granted that MT. Peli- cans home life is above reproach. He is a good provider, good hus- hand and father and is strictly nono- gamous. For the 400 birds in the lake flock, there are just 200 nests; one for each couple and one mate for each bird. There are no "trian- gies" in the Yellowstone "400".
 If further Investigations justify it, Professor Ward will ask the federal government to bar the pelicans as summer visitors from the park ..

.BOSPHORUS PALACES
 ARE NOW FOR RENT
American .and European Million aires Occupy Turkish Buildings

Constantinople, Sept. 1.-The Sub lime Porte is considering seriously the note from the Allied High Com missioner regarding the reduction of government employees. and 1t is ex- pected that action will be taken which will make good the monthly deficit of h00,000 Turkish pounds in the wages to government servants.
 In addition the Sublime Porte has decided to abolish the Legations and Consulates in various neutral coun- tries. Orders have already gone out for the closing down of Legations and consulated in Madrid, Berne, The Ha- que. Stockholm. Gogernment build ing of secondary importance will be evacuated and rented to private con- cerns. Some palaces on the Bos- phorus will be rented to million aires.
 The economy measures provide all so for the reductions in the salaries of schoolmasters, hospital nurses, and office boys ;the abolition of superf1u- ous government offices and the retire. ment of large number of army and navy officers.
 The finance ministry has decided to withdraw worn paper money notes from circulation. The government, together with two delegates of the Ottoman Public Debt, is devising plan to this end. Worn paper money of one, two and a half five. 20 and 25 plastre notes will be withdrawn from circulation and replaced by metal pieces of equivalent value. No more metal money than the amount of paper money withdrawn will be struck

 The movement started in the Pal chai Haktang, a boy school directed by the American Methodist mission. the students agitating for the removal of the Rev. H. D. Appenzeler, the principal, on the ground that it was disgraceful for a foreigner to conduct a Korean school MT. Appenzeller taking a firm stand, the students, or a majority of them, made a series of demands. which not being compiled with, they went on strike. These dS. mands were:
 1-Morning service should be abol- ished.
 Bible teaching should be done away with.
 3-Teachers educated in foreign countries should be dismissed as they are ignorant of educational methods fitting conditions in the Orient.
 4-Teachers should exclusively be those graduating from schools in Japan and Korea.
 5-Salaries of Japanese and Korean teachers should be made equal.
 It was pointed out that in recent years much had been done to bring the schools into line with Japanese government schools and that religi- ous instruction had been limited and the principal asked until autumn to consider the demands.

DEMAND CHANCE IN
 MISSION TEACHERS
Korean Students Said to Be h. nuenced by "Hidden Hand'

Seoul, Korea, Sept. 1. (By the As- sociated Press)-Korean students be- friended by principals of the mission schools during the suppression of the independence movement, are demand ing changes in teachers and curricul- um, which some believe will force the mission schools out of the field. Sides are being sharply taken in the controversy. One school of thought, critical of the Japanese government declared that the 'impudent de- mands' of the students are being in spired by Hidden Hand" in order, that the missionaries may be de- prived of their last shred of influence and either be content with complete subservience, or will clear out alto- gether, leaving the colleges they have founded as going concerns convenient for the occupation of their successors in the educational field"
 On the other hand, writer in the Seoul press says Tt is fact that teachers and equipments in mission schools are very much inferior to those of government and public schools. It is quite natural that stu dents of mission schools should want, as they 10, improvements in these respects so that after graduation they may not be handicapped in their flu. ture career. It is not fair to call their demands impudent, Nor is 1t just to say that they receive benefits for nothing, for as a matter of fact they pay comparatively high tuition fees.

ARAB GIRL LEADER
 PLEADS FOR PEOPLE
Says French Mandate Is Unpopu-
 lar in the Near East

Haifa, Palentine. Sept. 1.-Nazel al Abed, an Arab girl. who played a prominent part in fomenting the re- volt against French rule in Syria last May, and who later managed to es- cape from prison where she was serving a life sentence, gave the rep resentative of The Associated Press an interview in whiih she set forth her reasons for the unpopularity of the French mandate in the Near East
 "The French press," she said. "ac- cused Charles k. Crane, former American minister to China, of be- ing the cause of the disorders of last May. This Is absolutely false. The disorders were direct result of the oppressive and offensive rule of the mandatory power in Syria.
 We Syrian people" she continued, "are liberty loving. We pride our selves on the fact that we are the in tellectual and moral leaders of all the Arabs. In welcoming the French Army in 1918, we had hoped that France would help us realize our as- pirations for self government. We have been deceived. Instead of just treatment we find that our country is our interiors; our government turned over to inexperienced French officials, who try to govern by force. and our leaders lodged in jails.
 Tn the face of all these abuses" she declared, "a nation can do no less than revolt and rid itself of the yoke of the oppressor."
 About 30 Years Old.
 Nazel al Abed is about 30 years of age, of commanding personality and with a great charm of manner. She was born in Damascus of a wealthy and influential family. A mission school provided her with an 'educa- tion which seems to have instilled into her heart the love of country and of independence.
 During the war she served in the Red Crescent, a Turkish organization similar to the American Red Cross. Since 1919 she has been the accredit- ed leader of all the women organiza- tions in Syria. Because of the part she played in organizing the demon- strations in Damacus last May which resulted in great disorders and blood- shed, she was arrested and con- demned to life imprisonment. She remained in prison. however, but short time, soon making her escape.
 Asked if Syria Is prepared as yet for independence, Nazel al Abed re-

LOAN EXHIBIT
GREAT SUCCESS
Most Remarkable Collection
OF Antiques Ever Seen
In One Collection
Funds Derived to be Used to Insure
Proper Representation in His
torical Pageant

Last week there was given in this
CITY one of the most remarkable loan
exhibits that has ever been held in
this country. For r:s-cnc setting, for
artistic arrangement and for priceless
heirlooms, it stood forth unique ana
TO all who so generously lent their
historic treasures through the COL
umns of this paper most hearty
thanks are given.
Although this exhibit was pro
iected by the Cameron Club and most
ABLY assisted by the Daughters of
the American Revolution, the United
Daughters of the Confederacv and
the Colonial DANES yet the idea APP
pcaled to the community and it was
an exhibit to which not only the town
responded, but number of people
from Washington sent their valued
relies.
It estimated the love of history,
fostered local pride in Alexandria
and gave an opportunity to all the
citizens to enjoy and admire together
the historic and artistic treasures
they each possess.
All this was made possible by the
cooperation of the Alexandria Light
Infantry who stood guard over
Christ Church Parish Hall where the
exhibit was held. For six days and
six nights they were on duty, the
snow storm making it impossible for
the owners to remove the articles
they had lent, and under Sergeant
Ludlow most perfect order was pre-
served and the soldiers time was free
" and cheerfully given to the work.
That eight men could be found to
give their time, was because they
have no employment and some OF
those men who guarded our posses
sions in the Parish Hall in time OF
peace, had in time of war guarded
and fought overseas for the honor and
safety of the flag, and the Alexan.
dria Light Infantry both at home and
abroad is an organization Of which
Alexandria may be well proud Of.
Through the generosity OF Christ
Church, the Parish Hall was given
and also the light and heat, and we
wish to express our grateful apprec,
iation. The money collected from
this exhibit will further enhance the
glory of Alexandria in contributing
towards float in the Virginia His.

in OFFICERS
Pershing Submits Proposal
to Chairman of Senate
Military Committee
Would Reduce Total Number of Army
Officers to $4,000 by Discharges
and Acceptance of designations

Five thou2s.nd officers would be
dropped from the army under the
provisions of g bill recommended to
Congress yesterday by Gen. Pershing,
Chief of Staff.
A draft of a bill providing for
a reduction of commissioned person
mel from 1900 to about 10000 was
submitted by Gen. Pershino 70 Sen
ator Wadsworth, chairman of the Sen
cte Military Affairs Committee. 1t
is believed Congress promptly will
AIRY out General Pershing's recon-
mendation.
Gen. Pershing's recommendation is
in line with his advocacy of a general
wedding out Of officers in the army,
both in .he interest of economy and
efficiency. in a letter of exnianation,
n,"anying the suggested legisla-
ton, Gen. Pershing said:
"The national defense act contains
provisions for about 1900 officers
for the military establishment. Prac-
tically the full number could be suit
ably employed in the complete develop
ment of the national defense project
contemplated by that act.
"The War Department appreciates
fully the need for the utmost econ
omy in proposing reduction below
that number. In fact, in the interest
Of economy, the Secretary of War has
refrained from making even sufficient
appointments to offset losses and has,
thereby saved many millions to the
government.
"While it is possible to suspend ap-
pointments, it has not been practic-
able to stop the promotions due under
the law. As a consequence a commits
stoned personnel now exists that is not
well balanced in the various grades.
