GOOD WAR TO KEEP OUT OF

> When things began to look Sc
fious in the Near East, and the
inevitable atrocity story began to
flourish. we took the liberty OF
suggesting to Gazette readers the
wisdom of accepting such stories
with reservations. Some time ago
it was stated that the ArmemanS
could not have been masSacred in
such numbers as had been fire.
uuently mentioned in dispatches
from abroad, because there had
never been that number OF Ar
menianS in the world.
: OF late days we have been told
how the upspeakable Turk had
succeeded in numbering hundreds
OF thousands OF Christians, and
had wound up another Saturnaia
of, crime by burning Smyrna.
Following the publication OF these
stories spokesman for the Angora
government, issued a formal
statement, asking the American
people in particular TO withhold
Judgment, and it was stated that a
disintereSted commission was to
be asked to investigate the facts
and report, 1t was then asked;
Mould the Turks burn their chief
city?
} Since then the returns have be
gun to come in from the Smyrna
affair. One frcighter has Ar
rived in New York, having on
board a number of men who Wit
messed the fire at close range, and
who helped to remove the refu-
gees from the water front, These
men confirm the statements OF
American officers, previously
made. that the Turkish regular
forces entered the city in good or
der, although fired upon from
house tops, and that Turkish Of
Ulcers appeared to be making an
effort to preserve order at all
times. The returned Seamen, in
their statements to New York
papers, say the Greeks, i'll their
retreat, burned every village they
came to, and they believe the
Greeks set fire to SMYRNA because
they did not want to see the prop
erty fall into the hands OF the
Turks. Some OF the American
correspondents at ConStantinople
say there is a singular lack OF
sympathy for the Greeks and VI
memanS among members OF The
European colony, one explanation
being that whereas, the Greeks
and ArlnenianS are much the lcst
traders and merchants, the TURKS
make the best citizens III MANY
respects. being more reliable anI
truthful. The followers OF the
cross less truthful than the fol
lowers OF the Crescent? Sounds
strange. but that is what they say
1t may be long time before
we are permitted to get at tho
truth OF these things, but mean
while the possibility is suggested
that the Washington government
knew what it was about when i
declined to rush into the MILITARY
maneuvers about ConStanunopie

IT'S EASY totell that these dresses are
l new! Perhaps the first thing to show
how true they are to Spring and Summer
form will be their glorious colors-colors
that are bright and cheer-giving- colors
that go it alone or happily ningle with
contrasting shade, sometimes assembling
several tones-but, anyway, color will be
the first thing to impress you.
