General Campaign Of
Kind In Service.

without the Postal Service. business
would langulsh In day. and be at a
standstill in a week. Public opinion
would die Of dry rot. Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish. and
narrow-mindedness thrive.
1t is the biggest distinctive business
In the world and it comes nearer to the
innermost interests Of greater nSm-
Der Of men and women than any other
institution on earth. No private bust
ness, however widespread, touches 80
many lives 50 often or sharply; no
church reaches into 50 many souls,
flutters so many pulses, has 80 many
human beings dependent on its min
istrations.
"PostaI Improvement Week" has
been set for May l, by the Postmaster
General. This is the first general cam
paign of its kind In the Postal Service
for several decades. Business men
and their organizations, large users Of
the mail. newspapers, motion pictures,
advertisers, and the entire organiZa-
ton of 100000 postal workers are to be
enlisted in this countrywide campaign
Of interest in postal improvements.
Your help Is vital. Address your let
tiers plainly with pen or typewriter.
Give street address. Spell out name
Of State, don't abbrevlate. Put your
return address In the upper left hand
corner Of envelope (not on the back)
and always lock at your letter before
dropping In the mail to see If II Is
properly addressed. This care In tho
use Of the mails Is for your benefit and
speeds UP the dispatch and delivery
Of mall matter.
II you have any complaints Of poor
service make them to your postm aster.

FIGHTING OF TURKISH J
NATIONALISTS, GREEKS

CBy Associated Press)

CONSTANTINOPLE Aug. 31-The
first two communicates issued by the
Turkish nationalists on the battle cen
tering around Afiun Karahissar indi-
cate that the fighting was extremely
heavy. The Turks do not give the
number of Greeks taken prisoner, but
say they captured considerable booty.
The kemalists. according to the
communiques were forced to break
through a triple defense system of
barbed wire entanglements storming
the Greek positions.
General Tricoupis, Greek comman-
der effected the evacuation of the
city in skillful manner. The Turkish
cavalry pursued the Greeks in the di-
rection of BanaZ, to the southwest,
but the retreat was finally brought 70
a standstill by counter attacks. ~.
The fall of Afiun Karahassir, al
though serious loss to the Greeks in
view OF the fact that it has railway
connections, does not involve the
evacuation of Eski-Shehr.
The capture of Eski-Shehr, principal
stronghold of the Greeks on the Asia
Minor fighting front was reported yes
terday in Paris dispatch quoting of.

said intensive fighting continued

CHICAGO And ALTON.
CBy United Press)

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-The Chicago
and Alton railroad was virtually under
government control today. Action of
the Texas Oil company of Houston,
Texas, in asking for a receivership for
the road resulted in the naming of
William G. Bierd. president of the
road, and William w. Wheeler, attor-
ney, as receivers. They are under di-
rect supervision of the federal court.
Officials of the road refused to es-
innate the assets today, but declared
the total Indebtedness was $14,0O0,OOO.
The Texas company had a $4,000
claim against the company. In the
petition for receivership attorneys de
clared that the road was in default
for materials, supplies, etc, TO the ex-
tent of $1,500.000 Officials of the
road declared that the combined rail
and coal strike caused the insolvency
of the Alton. The roads main source
of revenue was derived through the
hauling of coal.

Reparations Body
to Accept Belgian
Moratorium Plan
CBy Associated Press)

FARIS, Aug. 31.-The reparations
commission late today unanimously ac-
cepted the Belgian compromise on tie
German moratorium. NJ. DUBOIS, the
French member of the commission,
voted with his colleague after a long
interview with Premier Poincare be-
tween sessions.
Commissioners are prepared to make
further efforts for an agreement and
even the American observer with the
commission, Col. James A Logan, Jr.,
is contributing toward the movement,
according to LOeuvre.
The newspaper declared Col. Logan
intervened yesterday to support the
Belgian plan, advanced by Premier
Theunis, and indicated that while the
United States was unable to intervene
at the present time she was preparing
to make concrete proposals in Novem-
Der. Therefore, the Teunis plan which
left the decision open to the future
appeared to him worthy Of considera-
ton.
The commission was displeased by
the action Of the German government
in publishing broadcast the text of
Herr Schroeder's statement to the com
mission. The statement laid the blame
for everything on circumstances, plead
ing that Germany could have found a
way out of the impasse but for the
assassination of Foreign Minister Ra-
thenau and the failure of the interna'
tional loan, which created panic and
destroyed all her we'll laid plans.

Legless Mendicant
Deceiues New York,
Exposed by Police

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-When his au-
tomobile was attached today it became
known that Horton A. Malone, a leg
less mendicant, who pushed himself
about on wheels, begging on Fifth
avenue and the city's affuent side
streets, occupies a suite of three rooms
and bath in one of Broadway's ex-
elusive hotels, layishes diamonds on
his wife, boasts a bank account and
employees a chauffeur.
Malone recently returned from a
three months holiday at Lake Mohan-

Arrested by Detectives
F. Morrison had been arrested by de-
tectives who charged they found hypo-
dermic needles in the car. Harry
Frank, lawyer, it was said, was re-
tanned by Morrison, who subsequently
called in another attorney. When
Frank submitted a bill for 800, Ma
lone declined to pay it, saying the
lawyer had rendered no service. When
Frank sued, Malone ignored the sum-
mons and Judgment was obtained by
default.
Then, when a city magistrate gave
permission TO attach Malone's automo-
bile, his identity as a familiar figure on
Fifth avenue was reyealed-a legless
man who pushes himself along on a
little platform set on rollers collecting
the nickels, dimes and quarters of the
city's tender-hearted.

Tax Levy of 28 or 29
Cents Seems Probable;
Increase OUer This Year
nv limited Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 31.-A
% or 20 cent state tax levy for 1923
seemed probable today. This would
be four or five cents higher than the
1922 rate.
While definite figures were not
available to the state board of tax
commissioners, it was unofficially
figured that valuations throughout the
state will decrease $500 000,0
If this slump materializes, the in
crease in the rate will necessarily be
three cents on each 500 of taxable
property in order to preserve the rev.
enue. obtained in 1922. More revenue
will be needed next year to carry on
the states business. With a deficit
already existing in the general fund
and expenses of the coming session
of the legislature to bear. the state
must also provide for building pro-
gram which includes a new reforma-
tory al Pendleton.

in radius of two or three miles. Tho
wreckage of the house caught fire
Immediately Residence across the
street from the houses that were

Profiteers of War
"Hard-Boiled" Lot,
US. Fund Indicates
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Just to
show what ''hard-boiled" lot are the
war profiteers treasury officials point
TO the fact only $42, 2,764.95 was turned
into the governments famous "consci-
ence fund during the two years Of
the late war. 1917 and 1918, and the
three following years. That total is
$12,158.20 less than the conscience
fund" contributions for 1915, which
amounted to S54923.15.
This year, up to the present time,
less than $4,000 has found its way into
the conscience fund"
During the war period the federal
government was robbed of millions
of dollars.
The first contribution to the con
science fund" was made in 1911, five.
dollar bill, and from then up to the
first of last January s5f4,939.SS is the
total of the sums received from those
who could have no peace of mind until
they had made restitution of funds
rightfully belonging TO the govern
ment. Q
Disposition of Funds
Money or its equivalent received
from citizens suffering from pangs Of
conscience is, upon receipt, sent to the
division of bookkeeping and warrants
and through that branch of the treas
ury is checked and finally reaches the
general fund and becomes a part O.
the money available for the mainte
nance of the government.
Practically all contributions to the
conscience fund are anonymous. Th'
largest amount that has ever been re
ceived as a single contribution wa
100000. 1t is needless to state that
was not contributed by one of the lat
war profteers The smallest contri

avoided paying when he arrived i

The proportion of contributions t
the conscience fund are divide
about equally between the sexes. On
year the majority of contributors wi
be women, the next year the men wi
take the lead.
