the Turks would have the advantage in
Asia Minor at the start and could
speedily drive the British out of Mosul,
On the other hand, Constantinople
would be at the mercy of the British
fleet, and the British troops there could
retire to Chatalja and there join forces
with some 100000 Greek troops from
the Martha river line.
If Turkey counts on the active sup
port of soviet Russia, 1t appears from
dispatches from Moscow that she will
be fooled. The soviet leaders, these
reports say, have been holding a series
of conferences and have come to the
definite decision that Russia will not
participate in any war growing out of
either the Near East or the Ruhr stu
alton She will defend herself if at
tackled but will not even help the Ger
man workers should they start a revo-

ONCE more war correspondents,
~ last week, were looking up steam
er and rail schedules to the Near East.
The headline writer's found their ia
vorite "war cloud" hanging wei that
part Of the world again. The Lausanne
conference came to an end, for the time
being at least, without the signing of
a peace treaty, and the air was filled
with the recriminations and defiant
phrases Of the British and the Turks.
In the last days of the conference the
American representatives, ably second
ed by the italian and French delegates,
tried earnestly to persuade Ismet Pasha
to yield to Marquis Curzon's ultima
tum. The Turk argued that it was use.
less for him to sign a pact which he
was sur would not be ratified by the
national assembly at Angora. He had
in mind the fate of the treaty Of Yer
sailles in the American senate. Curzon
angily departed for London and a day
or two later the conference broke up.
The British, the Greeks and the
Turks all had been exceedingly active
in a military way, anticipating the fail
ure of the negotiations, and at this
writing there is real danger Of an out
break of hostilities. For the time chief
attention was centered on Smyrna.
The Turkish governor there ordered all
allied warships to quit the harbor with
in a specified time. To this the French,
British and italian governments re-
piled with an order to their vessels to
remain and defend themselves in case
Of attack. The British also hurried
naval reinforcements. Preparations
were made to take the foreign colonies
aboard ship. 1t was said the Turks
were mounting siX-inch guns on the
south side of the Gulf Of Smyrna,
where the shallow waters force ships
entering the harbor to hug the shore.
However, the governor postponed the
time for attempting to enforce his or
der and Adnan Bey at Constantinople
said the matter was not serious and
would be settled soon. The Paris press
was not so optimistic, asserting a dec
laration of war was inevitable unless
the Turks receded from their position.
One American warship, the destroy
er Edsal, is at Smyrna, but dispatches
said the Turks defined it as a neutral
and also outside the prohibited class
in tonnage.

take definite action either for or

of the tilibuster that has prevented a

TT is not necessary to go into details
L as to the Turkish objections to the
pease treaty that was submitted to
them. Both Lord Curzon and Ismet
Pasha asserted they had gone to the
limit in concessions. Ismet baked es-
pecially at the proposed provisions for
guarantees for the security of the per
sons and property of foreigners in Tur-
key, and at certain economic financial
clauses. The French and Italian dele
gates warmly supported Lord Curzon.
In a formal statement Curzon said he

England and Turkey.

DOL. WILLIAM HASKELL, former
~ head of the American relief work
in Russia, has added himself to the
growing number of those who do not
believe the Turks are as bad as they
have been painted for many years.
After visiting Lausanne and CONSTANT
nople he went to Moscow, and there
told American correspondents he be-
lieves America should feed the 100000
Turks at Smyrna and its hinterland
whose homes were demolished wilfully
by the %retreating Greeks, instead of
aiding the Greeks and Armenians, who,
he says, are sitting around waiting for
America to give them their next meal.
Colonel Haskell gave the lie to stories
of Turkish atrocities circulated in
American churches. On the contrary,
he believes that the Greeks acted like
barbarians.

Stockholm, Aug. ETA. Z. by
MaiD-Tne influence of hard times
on Swedish emigration to the Unitei
States is illustrated by recent re-
ports from swedish iron and steel
works, and from l.. ". FagcrIunc,
governor OF the -Aaiand islanLs.
The recent labor conflict caused a
number o. workers to leave their
homes for America, attracted by the
reports of industrial prosperity in
that aountry. 1t appears that most
of these emigrantS were skilled
workers.
Governor Fagcrlund says that SAB
Aa.andc.S left Tor America during
the first six months OF this year. he
has made d STUDY OF the causes or
this exodus and has arrived at some
interesting deductions. One category.
he states, consists OF young men who
wish to perfect themselves in tho
latest working methods of their
trade or profession, intending ulti-
Inately to return to the home coun-
try. Another group includes masons
and construction workers who hope
for steady employment in America.

Jig enough mt ney to pay off the debt
On their family homeSteadS. Some
az younger sons of farming families
who are tired OF working at home
for almost no pay.
Unfortunately, the governor states,
very few return to their native soil.
and of those who do come back many
cannot adapt themselves to home
conditions and finally turn again to
America. This seems to be the case
especially with the women, who find
work on the home farms too strenu--
Gus after having become used to
lighter kinds of work in America.

MIR. Gray Squirrel
Appears Again

An old friend has made his ap-
pearance to this city. He came yes
terday. some time in the morning,
and up to late last evening when
the news of his arrival had pene-
trated the metropolis, there had
been many inquiries as to his COM
ing. This friend is known in the
vicinity of Castonguay square as Mr..
Grey Squirrel. Early last spring
Mr.. Squirrel made his first appear
ance in Waterville and eSta bliShed
himself in the big elm tree in the
park. Becoming dissatisfied with
his home, he moved to a tree of
the same species on Front street,
where he remained for some time.
The first of July, however, he packed
UP and left that region altogether,
disappearing just before a mate was
to have been placed at his home by
one of the citizens. Where he has
passed the summer is a mystery
Someone claims to have seen him
on upper College avenue during the
summer, but as to it being the same
one, is a question. Now he has TAX
en- up his abode in the square and
can be seen almost any time towards
the evening or early in the forenoon.
His coat is fine and slick and there
are probabilities of his having been
in a fine location for food the past
months.

PICNIC DINNER
FOR CONGO LADIES
AT MESSAL0NSKEE

The ladies of the Congregational
church held an all-day picnic at the
cottage of Mrs. J. H. WEIGH on Snow
pond. About 40 left the city by auto
at 10 A. NJ. arriving at the cottage
where a most delightful outing was
enjoyed. The day was perfect for
such an event and this spot situated
on the shore of Lake Messelonskee
a little north of the North Belgrade
station is the most inviting place for
such time.
After a picnic dinner, the regular
business meeting was held. Plans
were made for the rest of the year.
Arrangements are going forward for
the annual church fair to be held
Tuesday, Dec. a. at the church. A
liberal contribution has been made
towards the establishment of the
Sunset Home for Aged Women. The
ladies voted to appropriate a sum of
money for the placing of new silver
in the church. Different members
volunteered to furnish rooms for out
of-town people who will attend the
State Sunday School convention to be
held in Waterville. Oct. 16, II and IS.
It is planned to enter in every pos
sible way towards making this con-
vention q success, by entertaining
guests at home and in church.
The remainder of the afternoon was
passed in a social way and about A
O'Clock the party broke up. all ex-
pressing sincere regret in leaving this
delightful spot.

talk BY MISS
POTTER At FIRST
MEET CHILD STUDY

The first fall meeting of the Child
Study Group which is in connection
with the Church Mission Help So
ciety, was held yesterday afternoon
at the home of Miss Louise Pye at
IS Dalton street. The principal
speaker of the afternoon was Miss
Katharine l.. Potter OF New York
City, who addressed the meeting on
topics in connection with her re-
creational work with girls.
She emphasized the great necessity
of parents getting the point of view
of younger girls. She said that peo-
pie must adjust their views and
ideas of recreation to the changes of
conditions surrounding the young
people in the present day.
The speaker had in mind the free
dom which girls of today have.
that was denied them in past gem
erations. She stated that this is a
good change if they are taught pro-
per ideals along with that freedom,
and their judgement can berclied
upon.
Miss Potter also urged the estab-
lishment of group work such as girl
scout organizations.
A discussion was held concerning
dancing. in which the speaker ap-
proved of this manner Of recreation
provided that it was carried on with
proper surroundings and associa
tons. She urged the advance Of
group work in securing a proper en-
vironment of their children to dance,
as this mode of exercise is becoming
so popular.
The Group will continue to NEE.
during the winter. Work will be
carried on with discussion of child
problems. and reviewing of books, on
this subject.

Maine Merchants
Valuable Riddles

Norwich. Conn, Sept. Is ca. Po-
Four specially valuable violins are
in the collection of the late Archi-
bald Mitchell, dry goods merchant,
whose death occurred here recently.
They are the "Bott' Stradivari
1723), the Earl Stradivari 0722).
the "Jarnowick" Q74D. and the
"Healy" Stradivari Q71D. The
Bot" is regarded as one of the
most widely known instruments in
the United States. 1t was at one
time owned by the Duke of Cam
bridge, and afterwards by Louis
Spohr, passing later into the hands
of the late Prof. John Bot who, as
a young man, had been pupil of
Spohr.
The Earl is of exceptional size
and weight, which distinguishes 1t
from any previous or later work of
Stradivari. It was purchased about
1920 by the founder Of the London
Royal Academy of Music. the Earl
bassador at Vienna.
The "Jarnowick" is a splendid
specimen of the last type of the
master. 1t is contemporary with
the "Paganini' Guerneri (1143). now
preserved in the Municipal Palace Mt
Genoa, which. in the hands of the
great Maestro. delighted so many
thousands in Europe.
The "Healy" is one of the very
few perfect Stradivari violins in eX-
istence. MIR. Mitchell was one of
the founders of a dry goods concern
here which has stores in Portland,
Me, and in Grand Rapids. Mich,
and which at one time operated
stores in Fort Wayne, Ind, Detroit
and Saginaw. Mich, and Middle
town. Conn.

Prehistoric Women
Adorned Their Hair

Santa Barbara, Cal, Sept. 10
ca. p. by MaiD-Hairpins of bone.
studded with tiny crystals, are
among more than $500 prehistoric
objects so far unearthed on the site
of the former Ambassador hotel
here, according to George G. Heye,
founder and director of the Museum
of the American Indian Heye Foun-
dation) of New York City, under
whom the work is being carried ON.
Mr.. Heye declares the ornate hair
pins "show that the prehistoric
woman had much the same traits as
her modern sister,"
From what we have discovered
thus far" said Heye. 1T is safe to
assume that the tribes who left
these remains were the most skilful
workers in stone and shells within
the boundaries of what is now the
United States. Many of the relics
are unlike any others ever discov-
cred on the American continent"
According to Heye. the mound
from which this wealth of prehistoric
material was taken, once was the
rendezvous of numerous tribes. The
Indian name for the place was Sacy-
ton, which means 'the meeting of
the trails"
an time" Heye added, I'VE hope
to establish definitely certain facts
regarding all the aborigines, which
will answer many heretofore puzzling
questions"
