Turks Face Struggle to Over

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 24.-I
asked cultivated Turk the other
day how long Constantinople, the
proud, cosmopolitan city at the gates
OF Europe, with a million inhabi-
tants and immense wealth, would be
content to be run by Angora. a
small Asiatic town at the back OF
the beyond.
"You will remember" was his re-
ply, that Mahomet was wise enough
to go to the mountain. CONSTANT
nople is the mountain Of Turkey,
and Angora will accept the Prophets

But not / fancy without a strug-
gle. Constaptinople may even have
to pass through the valley OF the
terror before she is able to shake
herself free from the fanatical grip
of the Anatolian farmers, who.
through their army, control Turkish
policy. A number Of the deputies to
the National Assembly can neither
read nor write, and a still larger
number have never been outside
Asia Minor. They necessarily have
the crudest ideas about this "moun-

about a Constantinople of the flu

The best solution probably would
be to make the Anatolian town Of

PARIS, Feb. 24.-Each passing
day sees increasing misery among
the Russian colony in Paris. :.
In the French capital that they
love so well there are thousands Of
exiIes. dragging out q dreary exist
ence, all the more difficult because
they must hide their miseries.
They have used up their fortunes
as well as their hopes as times
grow worse instead Of better.
+. These Russians could not believe
in the revolution. The lesson Of
1908 had served to no purpose, ana
one fine day they saw the old edi-
flee OF the czars, gilded and i'm
posing, crumble into a dust heap.
Not One for Them.
Then the exodus began. The

waiting-those who have been able
to keep soul and body together

suffice for a family, and the meals
are scanty-often mere tea and

CALLS RELIGION
B|GFACTOR IN
BUSINESS ].
Bible Authority and Writer
Cites Babson Report in
Los Angeles Speech
Rx coamopolltan News servlee.

=.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24-Religion
as a factor in, business was the topic
of DR.. William Evans, international
authority on the Bible and author or
thirteen books dealing with Chris
tan subjects, when he spoke to
meeting of business men.
Some time ago the Babson Com
mercial Agency Of Boston was ap-
pointed by the Bankers Association
Of America to make an exhaustive
examination into business conditions
and report back to the association,
said DIR. Evans. 1.-The report was ex-
ceedingly interesting and read as 1Ol-
lows:
'First-The greatest factor in the
business world today Is religion.
'Second-The great security Tor
our investments is religion.
'Third-The one great danger
sign ahead in the business WorId TO-
day is the lack of religion
An Important Report.
This is an exceedingly important
report, coming not from a religious
but a business organization, a firm
which has for it's purpose the collect
ing Of statistics for weekly bulletins
and reports wholly for bankers
manufacturers, mechanics and in
vestors; firm engaging 100 clerks
who devote their entire time to col
lecting, compiling and distributing
statements regarding business conol-
tons so as to be able at any moment
to give an analysis and diagnosis
of business conditions at any point.
"Babson tells US that he inter-
viewed seventy five Of the great
leaders of industry; the heads of big
business: the developers of American
fields. forests, mines, industries, ana
that per cent of them were the
sons of bankers, 10 per cent the sons
of manufacturers, Is per cent the
sons Of merchants and the rest the
sons of poor preachers and FARMERS.
WHY. think you, is it that the sons
of poor preachers and farmers oc-
cupy the leading positions in indus
try and the commanding places IN
the commercial world today!
Trade Affects Religion.
1T is q fact that a decline in re-
ligion is followed by decline in
business, and a revival in trade is
always the result of revival in re-
ligion. When men seek first the
kingdom of God and His righteous
ness, then these material things are
added to them.
Morality touches my dealings
with my fellowman; religion my re-
lations with God. 4 man may be.
moral and not religious; he cannot
be truly religious and not be moral.
When men fear God they will re-
gard man. When mon have no re-
gard for God and religion. they can
not be expected to have any serious
regard for the interests of man. The
man who is honest because honesty
is the best policy would doubtless be
dishonest if that were the best
policy.
Religion is the bedrock Of ali true
morality"

MAN MEETS AWFUL DEATH
mi MOLTEN METAL BLAST

CoATESVILLE, Pa, Feb. 24.--
Harry Gordon. well known as
Handsome Harry" was killed yes
terday by molten metal, which
poured all over him after an explo-
sion in No. open hearth steel fur
mace. The explosion caused the
roof of the open hearth to fall in
and he was caught under the debris
of redhot bricks and molten mental.
and before he could be extricated
he died.
The exact cause Of the explosion
has not been determined. It was
suDertnduced, however, by the fall
ing of the roof Of the furnace, and
1t is supposed a water pipe must
have been broken and water flowed
into the molten metal.
