BERLIN, MAY 26.-Economie pres
sure is forcing Germany to decen-
tralize. to abolish government and
municipa bureaus and turn TO pri-
waite mana cement and the en-
c0uraGement OF private enterprise to
a degree which is discouraging to
the socialists
But the socialists critical as they
are of the change, apparently have
no alternative to present and are
o. ierlng only feeble vocal protests.
The NorWaerts and other Social pa
pers admit that German cities and
towns are forced to turn their pub
nc utilities over to companies in the
interest of greater economy, which
can be effected through putting
business rlen in charge

The public is tired of top-heavy
bureaus and their burdensome and
expensive systems. 1t has been reGu-
lated and controlled to a point
where its patience is exhausted
Everything has been under control
of some sort of municipal or govern
ment bureau. Housing commissions
have harrassed and annoyed Ger
mans high and low until they are
lamoring for release from bureau
cratic control. Graft has entered into
the workings of many housing COM

operate against the interests Of the

TAXES IN TURKEY
AROUSE FOREIGN
BUSINESS FIRMS
New Government Ignorant Of
Worlds Principles Of
Trade

CONSTANTINOPBf May by
Associated Press 1.-The grand ma
tional assembly sits in it's capital at
Aneora, barred from contact with the
outside world, almost inaccessible
even to foreign diplomats whose in
tercourse must be through the me-
dunn of DR.. Adnan Bey, it's represen
tative in Constantinople. The govern
ment thus lives in an atmosphere Cf
it's own creation, unaffected by for
eign comment on its actions, and to
this condition is attributed some re-
cent governmental actions which
have aroused n measurable degree of
foreign criticism.
Until recently the duty on flour
into Turkey was l per cent. On March
the rate was advanced to per cent,
and made retroactive on all stocks
still in warehouse and which had
paid the old duty of l per cent. 1t is
recognized that the question of this
duty is clearly a matter of internal
administration. and it is accepted as
such; only with the retroactive as
pect have foreigners found fault
A decree has been issued increas
ing the income tax five fold, and to
include foreigners, and retroactive to
the date of the foreigners arrival in
Turkey.
Another law increases the con-
sumption tax on a certain fat prod
uct from five to so paiasters, and it
affects large stocks at present in
transit contracted for when the levy
was only five piasters-
In local business circles these awk-
ward and unusual proceedings are as
cribed largely to the ignorance of a
popular government as yet unused to
the inYricacies of economic leei sla =
tiCn. 1t is felt that the deputies do
not realize the far reaching effects of
such measures, nor their reaction in
western lands.

FRENCH MASPS To
SAVE DOMINION
BIC CROP Of CORN
Would Stop Million Dollar Toll
That Is Taken BY
Worms


WINNIPEG, May 26.-fBY Asso-
ciated Press bug ex-
perts will import from the United
States this summer horde of para
site wasps which they will turn
loose in the Canadian corn belt to de-
stroy and fatten upon their heredi-
tary enemy, the corn boring worm.
The campaign viii be wased along
lines drawn by W. r. Walton, super
ntendent of the insect division of the
United States bureau of entomology,
who offered his aid al a recent meet
ing of grain growers.
Wherever corn is grown in Amer
lea their lives the corn-borer, taking
his toll of millions of dollars from
the value of crops each year. He
makes his home within the green
husk of the tender plant, and eats
his way over the milky ear, complet-
ing his work of destruction long be-
fore the crop natures.
Until the United States entomolo-
gists discovered in France the tiny
wasp. there was nc known means
of destroying the b0rer without also
destroying the corn. This insect does
the trick, according to Mr.. Walton.
Brought to America to a new hunt
liked the climate. reared large fam
lilies, and had prediction for corn
borers. making his home on the husll
of the ear within easy striking dis
lance of his game.

NEW YORK, May 24-Warfare be-
tween "old time" relIgionists and
liberals in the Protestant churches in
still in the simmering stag where
both sides are carefully feeling their
way before declaring open hostiIities.
Three denominatiens-Pr
ans. Baptists and Episcopalans-
will be the battle ground when the
the call to arms is sounded. isulu-
hlings nave recently grown to roars I'm
each and subsidized again, with the
fundamentalists in control Of the
situation not caring to bring matters
TO a head.
The four beliefs to which the
liberals generally refuse to subscribe
and which are causing all the diffI-
Guilty are:
The virgin birth of Christ
2-The divine inspiration Of the
scriptures. .....,.'.. ..-... -.
sin.
4-The second coming of Christ.
DIR. Grants BeIief.
Since DR. Percy Stiekney Grant ef
Fifth Avenue Episcopal Church Of
of the Ascension stirred his superiors
by opposing these beliefs and escaped
with a mere verbal chastisement
from Bishop William 7. Manning Of
New York. the issue has become
pertinent. Further 1lareups occurred
this week at the Northern Baptist
convention at Atlantic city, n. j.,
and the Presbyterian general as
sembly at Indianapolis.
The Presbyterian ledy after hear
ing datribe by William Jennings
Bryan against liberalism in the
church, asked the New York Presby
terry to take action against DR.. Harry
Emerson Fosdick, New York BAPTIST
pastor filling a Presbyterian pulpit,
for his denial of the four funda
mentalist doetorines.
Protest Against Action.
This action boomeranged Thurs
day night when a vigorous protest
against the action of the assembly
was presented by Dr. Will m - Mer-
rill of the Brooks church, New YORK.
Signed by 81 commissioners Who
believed the New York Presbytery
should have been given a free hand
in determining for itself whether
Fosdick's preachings were in con-
formity with the principles of the
Presbyterian taith, the protest de-
clared the assembly had exceeded its
authority.
The matter was not allowed to drop
there. however. An overture was
drawn up, to be -oted on by all
Presbyteries in the United States,
amending the church government TO
prohibit pastors of other faiths from
regularly preaching in Presbyterian
churches. The overture, after it IS
voted on, will be submitted to the
1924 convention and may result in
Fosdick's removal frpm his pulpit.
O O O
sidestep Issue.
The Northern Baptist convention
also sidestepped the issue of liberals
VS.. conservatives Th rsday night by
taking no direct action ON the issue
( itself, but providing that in dealing
with the denominational gifts ae-
compani l by doctornal conditions,
Il large degree of liberty must be
left to all our missionary. benevolent
and educational organizations" This
/ provision was regarded as half
victory for the liberals, who are in
possession of the denominations, ma
/ chinery and are strongly entrenched
in college faculties.

ANGORA, Nay 26.-(By Associated
Press.)-If Admiral Colby NJ. Chester
and his American associates under
take to convert Angora into a modern
capital on the lines of Washington
they probably viii find sufficient
work to occupy them for many years.
Under the terms of the economic con-
cessions recently granted to the
Americans. Angora is to have broad
streets, high buildings, wide public
squares, parks and spacious railroad
terminals, just like any modern
American city. This will involve the
demolition OF the thousands of squat
ty brick and mud buildings. the mar
row, winding, dark streets and the
inadequate sanitary system, which
have made Angora one of the most
primitive cities in the world
If Angora is rebuilt it may mean
the abandonment of Gonstantinopls
as the capital of Turkey. Many Turks
favor the retention of Angora as the
seat of government because of it's
military and naval invulnerability-
1t is 2l5 miles southeast of Con-
stantinople, free from attack by hos
tile armies or navies entering tile
Dardenelles. The Greek army es-
saved to reach Angora in 1891 with
disastrous results. The surrounds
