SURVIVORS OF lost
LEGION" STRAGG[|NG
BACK into HOMELAND
fBy Acquainted Pressl

Constantinople, May 22.-SurViv-
ors of the Greek 'lost legion" which
fled from Samsuni, Asiatic Turkey,
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 Samsuni, fewer than
1000 survive" says a statement by
the Greek military here, "but~these
are safely within sight of the neu-
trail zone. Since their departure from
Samsun, they have constantly been
pursued by the Turks, whom they
eluded mainly by living in inaccessi-
BILE parts of the mountains. They
were compelled, however, to fight
several pitched battles, in which
they suffered terrible losses owing
to complete lack of arms and ammu-
nition."
Archbishop Meletios Metaxakis,
Greek patriarch of Constantinople,
has appealed to all the Christian
churches of the. world, asking them
to use their utmost influence in per-
suading the great powers to prevent
further persecution of the Christians
in Asia Minor, which is stain on
humanity and civilization"

CURB MARKET To
Be OPERATED TWO

Tuesday and Saturdays
Selected for Sales of
Produce

So successful was the curb market
on last Saturday that it has been de-
cided to have two market days each
week, Tuesdays and Saturdays, max
ing the hours fomr a. m. to noon,
The first Tuesday market will be es-
tablished tomorrow when it is ex-
pected that at least twenty growers
of produce will be present with their
wares.
Saturday W. G. Tilghman probably
led the marketing men, his total sales
being $6735. He sold six barrels of
Irish potatoes, three barrels Of sweet
potatoes, four crates of tomatoes,
three crates of peaches, two bushels
of cucumbers, six dozen lunches of
celery and fifty-eight dozen eggs.
Mr.. Baker Of Pomona, sold $40
worth of peaches, $1.50 worth of can
taloupes, $3.50 worth of watermelons,
,$1.50 worth of cucumbers and addi-
tional quantities of eggs, syrup, beans
and COW peas.
Mr.. Watts, of East Palatka, sold a
quantity Of potatoes and garlic. 9th
er sales could not be secured, but
these are just few of those who con-
tributed to the success of the under
taking.
The success of the venture seems to
be assured, and the only thing needed
to continue it is the patronage of the
housewives. Farmers are also i'm
pressed that they should make prices
as reasonable possible and in accord
with the price they would receive if
they were to sell their products to
stores for resale. ......

Died In Hospital.

4. Belfast, May 22---W. j. Twaddell, a
member of the Northern parliament
was shot here today and died in the
hospital.
He was proceeding to business when
he was struck by several shots. A
woman was also wounded by the fu-
sillade.
Mr.. Twaddell is the first member of
parliament to be attacked in the his-
tory of Belfast's disorders.
The most disquieting feature of
Sundays disorders in Belfast was the
shifting of the center of trouble to
Ballymacarrett, the east enr section,
where there is a large artisan popula-
ton, and a small, compact Sim Fein
community living in an area called
the Short Strand. Two men were
killed in the violent rioting there, and
Thomas McShane, who was wounded
Saturday, died bringing the total of
, deaths over the week end to ID.
During last nights shooting, gun
men opened fire Oh the city electric
station, but the return fire from no
lice and troops caused the assailants
to withdraw.
The flying column responsible for
Saturdays raids in counties Antrim
and Down vanished as quickly as it
came, but renewal of its operations
is anticipated.
