The defendant Brown pleaded
self-defense and ths evidence in

strongly to show that he was entire

vindictive man and difficult to get
along with and had, on numerous oc-
casions. raised quarrels with the de-
PENDANT Brown. and had. on more
than one occasion exhibited his pis-
toll which he carried concealed on
his person and threatened to kill the

London, Sept. 27.-In addition to
Erin Ksui and Kun Kalesi in the
neutral zone of the Dardanelles the
Kemalists now are in possession Of
Bigha. A special dispatch, not con-
firmed from any other source, says
occupation of the latter place was
accompanied by the massacre OF the
entire Greek and Armenian popula-
ton, numbering about 900.
The British commanders are conf
dent they can keep the Turks from
crossing the straits or capturing Con-
stantinople until the arrival of the
formidable reinforcements now on
the way.
The reply OF the Angora Govern
ment to the joint Allied note, out
lining the condition under which a
peace conference could be held, is
anxiously awaited, but II is feared
that even an acceptance would not
relieve the present situation as the
Turks are understood to be prepared
to demand freedom Of military action
during the conference.
The British Government is watch
ing developments closely, the Cahi-
net Ministers and defense experts
nesting daily for consultation.
One battalion each of the Cold
stream Guards, Royal Fusiliers and
Rifle Brigade are leaving Aldershot
today for the Near East, and other
troops will follow Saturday. The
Highland Light Infantry and the
Kings Scottish Borderers are on the
way from Alexandria to Chanak. the

age projects of the county have been

Wedding has decided that the man

ers gave excellent services and II Is

will do the same. Mr.. King has Civ

Smyrna. 1t is considered signifi-
cant here that Gen. Noureddin Pasha

declared he cannot guarantee the
lives of thu Christians in Smyrna af-

mean that the Kemalists want to
clear decks for action in the event

MAN OF FAITH AND LEARNING
origen Considered One OF the Great
est of the Early Church Fathers
Upheld Christian Faith.

Origen, surnamed Adamantius, who
lived from 1856 to 254 A. D., is con-
sidered by some authorities as the
greatest of the early church fathers.
Alexandria, in Egypt, the great seat
Of learning of the time, is thought
to have been his birthplace. He was
a teacher and deep student OF phi
losophy and of the Scriptures, and
he became great defender of the
Christian faith. His literary pr0duc-
ti0ns were numerous and several have
come down to the modern world,
among them being treatise on theol-
.Ogy, few sermons or discourses of
that nature, parts of commentaries on
the Gospels of st. Matthew and st.
John and st. Paul's Eplstle to the
Romans. His greatest work is his
defense of Christianity against the at
tacks in the writings of CELSIUS, an
Epicurean philosopher of the Second
century. CELSIUS work is not extant,
but the character Of 1t is made clear
in Origen's refutation, which contains
many quotations, and Origen's line Of
argument indicates clearly the line Of
attack followed by CELSIUS. The at
tacks upon Christianity by many crit
les are simply repetitions of CELSIUS
objections, which Origen answered
about seventeen hundred years ago.

Where Business Move. Slowly.

Business methods are invariably
slow in the Near East, according to
Miss Grace Willis who has returned
recently from q period of service with
the Y. w. G. A. in Constantinople,
Stamboul and Beirut. 1T takes at
least half day to deposit a check
and even longer to draw one out"
says Miss Willis. "The general con-
dition that exists in business houses
is undoubtedly due to the fact that
so many nationalities, each with their
own way of doing things, are gathered
under one roof. The girls of the Near
East are particularly keen for busi-
ness courses and there Is tremen-
dous demand in the many commercial
houses for well-trained clerical work.
ers and stenographers. consider that
when, from the business courses given
by the Y. w. G. A., efficient business
women have been turned out after
nine months training, remarkable
piece of work has been accomplished"

JAP GIRLS GET INTO LINE
Increasing Physical Activity and Inde-
pendence Are Regarded as Of
Particular Significance.

A new freedom in physical move
ment Is discernible If not obvious In
feminine Japan. 1t can be noted on
the street In the little girls play. Al
ways they have had the most varied
line of games and were fairly active,
but nothing so unladyllke as jumping
over stick, sort Of pole vault with
out the pole. Now this is not unusual
in the larger towns, and surprisingly
high do these wooden clogged, XII
monoed, pig-tailed youngsters jump,
and with much abandon.
In the girls schools there is much
more activity than even three years
ago of the kind that past generations
Of American mothers called tomboy-
ishness, and increasing interest in ten
mis- and basketball. Also 1t is not un-
becoming now for maiden or matron
to hold up her head in line with her
spine, and frankly look on at this
world and all its membranes. For
merly 1t was almost the great unpar-
dOnable not to carry the head slightly
forward, with eyes downcast. This
attitude of humiliation is now becom-
ing fearfully old-fashioned.
Foreign teachers of long experience
say that the change In this respect is
striking in the classroom. Students
when reciting now look up squarely at
the instructor instead of at their knees
as formerly. As this is not q taught
thing, but the reflex of change with

cant.
Another change, trifling, but
straw that shows the direction and We

rear of her lord.-Scrlbner' Magazine.

Future Of Brazil.

Brazil, which is almost wholly In
the tropics, has the opportunity to up
set the belief that no people can reach
the very highest civilization in tropi-
cal climate. The census, just COM
pleted, credits Brazil with 30,500,000
people, which makes 1t the second
American country in point of popula-
tion. Some modern men of science
maintain that when means have been
found to utilize the heat Of the sun
as mechanical energy the tropics will
become centers Of production and
therefore of civilization. If that should
be true, what country could match
Brazil, with its great resources Of min
erals, timber and land, and Its great
navigable rivers?
