The piers at Silivri and Rodosto are

comparatively rich persons Sfltvrl,
which month ago had a population
of 5000, now counts scarcely 1900.
and Rodosto has sunk from 10000 to
5000. The country will feel the de-
parture Of the Christian element
severely, because the Turks are only
land laborers. while all the trade and
industry is in the hands of the Greeks
and Armenians. Many who are leav-
ing belong to families that have been
here for a generation. When the
correspondent asked them why, II
when they were here before, they
were now afraid of them, they re
piled:
Reason for Fear.
The old Turks were decent and
We lived harmoniously with them.
When in 1920 this territory was given
10 Greece by the allies we naturally
fra aternized with our brothers from
our former home country and helped
them all we could This the Turks
will never forgive, and we shall GER
tainly be unable TO Withstand the
Turkish pressure when they return"
Fears of the Christians are wei,
founded because the nationalists
have adopted the slogan of Turkey
for the Turks" and will do their ut
most to get rid of the alien popula-
ton. The tragedy for the unfortu
nate Greeks is SO much the greater
because many Of them were brought
to Thrace by the Greek government
authorities, who assured them that
they could work in peace here.

INSURANCE MEN URGED
TO GIVE BEST SERVICE
Agents Advised to Represent Gus
toners Interests as Well
as Company's.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, October A.
give the greatest measure Of service
to their customers was stressed in
the annual report of the executive
committee Of the National Associated
of Insurance Agents. read at the
opening business session of the an
nual convention hero today.
Members of the association were
urged in the report to represent the
interests of the insured as we'll as of
the insuring company, it being stated
that on the agent largely depended
the attitude which the public takes
toward insurance.
Use Of the word insurer by mem
bers OF the association was recon-
mended in this connection. The commit
tee suggested that the use of the word
be limited to those who had experience
or training in insurance work and only
to those whose agency work was not
incidental to other lines of business.
Greater cooperation of agents with
the companies they represent in order
that unnecessary expenses might be
avoided was urged. and the plan of
multiple agencies" adopted by some
companies was denounced. Classifica- =
tion of companies by local agents was
suggested. those supporting the princi-
pies of the national association being
given preference.
I've should, in some way. distinguish
ourselves in the minds of the public
and insurance companies from the
multitude of the so-called agents who
know little about the insurance buSi-
ness and seem to care less the report
concluded.
