Saturdays raids in counties Antrim

suppress the disorders, but it is as
sumed nothing viii be done before to-

banks, to be read at the opening SEES

"The desirability from many points
of view, of establishing state parks is
so obvious that there hardly need be
argument on the subject" the presi,
dent wrote. Every year of delay in
creating such resorts is certain to in
crease the expense and the difficulty
of securing the most desirable kind OF

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 22-Sur-
vivors of the Greek "lost legion
which fled from Samsun, Asiatic Tur-
key, last year, are beginning to arrive
in the neutral zone near Ismid after
six months of wandering across Ana
tolia
'Out of the 1000 Greek refugees
who fled from Samsun, fewer than
1000 survived" says statement by
the Greek military mission here, "but
these are safely within sight of the
neutral zone Since their departure
from Sumsun they have been contin-
ually pursued by the Turks, whom
they eluded mainly by living in mac
cessible parts of the mountains. They
were compelled, however, to fight sew
eral pitched battles, in which they suf-
fered terribly, owing to complete lack
of arms and ammunition.
Archbishop Meletios Metaxakis, a
Greek patriarch of Constantinople, has
appealed to all the Christian churches
of the world asking them to use their
utmost influence in persuading the
great powers to prevent further per
secution of the Christians in Asia Mi
nor, which is stain on humanity and

CHICAGO, May % The modern
f1apper was defended by the Rev. AL
mer Pennewell, pastor of the Coven-
ant church at Evanston yesterday, in
a sermon in which he approved short
skirts, bobbed hair and knicker-
bockers.
"Flapperism is not disease but a
diversion" he said. "Bobbed hair
short skirts and knickerbockers are
not snags on sin but a declaration OF
independence. The girls are jolly lot
and they will give us the finest genera
ton of women the world has ever
known.
1--WE are passing from the man age
a rough age, and emerging into the
age of culture, the womens age. That
is why the f1apper exists today The
new age will be one not ruled by wo
men but one in which their influence
will be felt. Girls in the past have
been pretty little birds in cages oil
husky beasts of burden"
