FORMER ELMERITES TOURING
EUROPE
After Visiting Many Countries Think
U. S. A. the Best in the World. Find
Travelling Expenses Cheap on Basis
of American Dollars
(From the Elmer Times)

VI a. OAAfAA
(From the Elmer Times)
Mr.. and Mrs. Aaron Armon, of Phila-
delphia, formerly of Elmer, have been
touring Europe the past summer and
have had some interesting experiences.
Their conclusion is hat America is
the one country for liberty and oppor-
tunity. Mr.. Armon, who was born in
Russia, came to Elmer as a lad and by
square dealing and upright life won
friends and fortune. Previous to his
present trip he had been to China,
Japan and other Asiatic countries on
business.
In a letter dated at Vein, August
18th, written to his long time friend,
S.. P. Foster, of Elmer, he says; Don't
put this in Elmer Times" But aware
that his numerous friends among
Times readers will want to know
about him, we take the liberty of
printing extracts from the letter which
are of general interest.
He says: Mrs. Armon and I are
taking a trip in observance of our
twenty-ffth wedding anniversary. I
miss the Elmer Times very much, but
have seen many interesting sights. 1t
is beautiful in Paris and all around
the city. OF the cities 1 have thus far
seen in our travels I like Berlin best.
I think I will not see a nicer place.
Wien is nice but not like Berlin. I
have seen lots of palaces which have
as many as three hundred rooms;
never before in my life have | seen
anything like them. I have seer where
all the kings and queens lie in their
caskets. There are hundreds of mu-
seums, nothing like them in the United
States, but give me the U. S. A. to live
in after all.
Here in Wien we get $3.50 kronen
for one of our dollars; you can live
here for 80 cents American money. I
spoke to some bookkeepers and they
were working for three dollars,
American money, per month. I spoke
to girls working in hotels and they get
forty thousand kronen per month,
about seventy-five cents in American
money, and all their months earnings
will not buy a poor pair of shoes.
"Beggars are in the streets, thou
sands of them; and when they think
you are an American, they do not let
you go by, Mrs. Armon and some
times pay as much as forty cents for
a dinner, and the people cannot under
stand how we can be so extravagant
Travelling here is very cheap. | bought
two tickets here for S12.40 which will
take us into Roumania on express
train, two days and one night, and we
| could go still cheaper. We are paying
10000 kronen for one nights sleeping
because they know we are American
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1922-09-29

4 made the acquaintance of several
people in Berlin, and when 1 got to
Wien I called on them and they seemed
very nice people and they have a beau
tiful apartment with six rooms. 1
asked them what rent they paid and
they told me $4,000 kronen for three
months. We Americans pay more
thar that for one nights lodging.
"One can learn a lot travelling, and
| have travelled some in my lifetime,
but intend to travel about two months
more. So far I have made France,
Belgium, Germany, Austria, Szech Slo-
vania; l will visit nearly every coun-
not friendly with Russia as yet, but I
hope in a short time to make another
trip and then I will visit Russia.
"You know how I like to fish; I miss
my fishing trips which 1 often made to
Fortescue. Give the boys down there
my regards. Next summer I hope to
make up for this summer.
Tell my Elmer friends they ought
to make the same trip I have, and see
the world. Do not stay in one place.
I have met people from every state in
the Union. Any person who can speak
both English and German can travel,
but / have met some who cannot
speak German and they are up
against it.
my kind regards to your sister and
all your family.
Your old friend,
AARON ARMON."

TURKEY WANTS
ALL NATIONS
ON SAME BASIS
Declares it Is Not Intention of
New Regime to Drive
s Foreigners Out.
(By the Associated Press

>Lau same, Nov. 24.-Turkey's
spokesman at the Lausanne confer
ence, hearin of the arrival of Amer
lean missionary representatives here,
expressed the hope that American.
philanthropic and educational insti-
tutions would not be ineedlessly
alarmed by the advent of the new
regime in Turkey. The Kemalist
agents explained that there was no
disposition to drive out Americans,
especially those engaged in education
al and and charitable undertakings.
It was pointed out, however, that
Turkey saw no reason why foreign
institutions whether educational or
industrial should be dealt with diff
ferently than Turkish institutions,
and that Turkeys school and factor
les paid taxes then foreign estab-
lishments should d. so also.
The Angoras delegates declared
there should be no special privileges
for foreigners in Turkey and insisted
that it should also be understood all
schools, whether foreign or Turkish,
should teach the Turkish language.
e The problem Of Thrace and the
western boundary of Turkey still oc
cupied the attention of the confer
cnce today. The sub-commission OF
military questions comprising a
the full commission on territorial
group of experts was wrestling with
the boundary question. The estab-
lishment Of demilitarized zone on
both banks of the Martha river which
seems to be the boundary favored by
the great powers, is one of the topics
Of discussion in the sub-commission.
The plan to hold two distinct con-
ferences on the near eastern ques-
ton, one for re-establishing peace
between Turkey and Greece, and be-
tween the Allies and Turkey, and the
second to fix the status of the straits
of the Dardanelles, has been aban-
dened. it was stated today and the
problem of straits has been merged
into the general conference.

In 1882

MINERS WILL RETURN
'lBy the Associated Press)

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 24.-The
Birmingham district today prepared
to Icy to rest the first of it's 81 dead
dead whose lives were snuffcd out
Wednesday by an explosion CT coal
dust in Dolomite mine No. CT tn.
Wood Iron Company, west Of this
city. The dead belong to the dis
trict, for virtually every settlement
and city is represented in the car
ualty list. and graves were being dug
today in nearly every little cemetery
between Birmingham, Bessemer, Ems
ley, and the mine.
Sixteen victims in an undertaking
establishment in Bessemer where yes
terday and last night men worked
INCREASINGLY to prepare the IS bodies
there for burial, had not been identi-
field early today. One was. white
man and the other Is negroes. Iden-
tification Of some of the negroes was
declared impossible because their
faces were burned almost beyond
recognition.
At. the mine where the only evil
dence visible of the disaster was the
charred woodwork Of the concrete
tipple fired Wy the blast as the flames
spouted from the slope, repairs were
being made with the expectation that
coal production would be resume..
Monday. +.
Many miners burned by the explo-
sion or disabled by the fatal after
damp declare that as soon as they
were able to resume work they will
return to the mine. 1t had been in
operation since 1882 without a seri-
out accicdnt until Wednesday and
the disaster then was due to circum-
stances observed only twice before
in this country, according to records
of local mining experts. The mine
is what is known as "gas free" and
to prevent the accumulation Of coal
dust, another, dangerous element, its
equipment includes an automatic
sprinkling system which constantly
keeps it damp. rs
"A string Of coal dumps being haul
ed up the tipple broke. loose dropped
800 feet down the incline and the i'm
pact when they reached the bottom
created clouds of dust. The crash
severed high tension electric cable
and the fash ignited the explosive
dust. 't &
Eighty-two Of the 475 meh IN the
mine were killed outright by the ex-
plosion or asphyxiated by the after
damp, and of the sixty burned or
two died few hours later.
