mediately, President Thomas F. Nc
Mahon announced tonight after a
meeting here of the emergency COM

which had been made in outline,
and left details to the emergency
committee which is now ready to
act. Organizers have been wired to
proceed to specified work. The GEN.
ter chosen for our work in the south
is not being announced at this time.
1.-The opening up of activities in
the South leaves our plans for New
England unchanged. The New Eng
land textile workers must have the
% per cent wage increase necessary
to restore the cut made in December.
1920.
"In increasing work in the South
we are not changing our base. but
operating on a wider front with n
double purpose, to get the southern
worker little fairer share of the
wealth he creates. and to protect the
New England textile workers flank
from the constant attacks Of the
bugaboo of southern competition. In
short, it is increasingly evident that
the northern and southern textile
workers need each others help"

Tickets On Sale For Chamber Of
Commerce Supper

Tickets are now in the hands of
the various members Of a committee
for the supper to be given at the
membership meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce on Tuesday evening,
January 80 at Elks hall. 1t is ex-
experience of the directors that a
larger attendance can be had at the
membership meetings II there is q
supper to attract them. so they very
wisely arrange for the supper to
come at the regular meal time so
that the members and their wives
may conveniently attend.
1t is the plan of the committee to
have every member of the Chamber of
Commerce approached in person in
regard to his attendance at the meet
ing. The ladies who are to furnish
the supper have been given a guar
antee of 200 plates but they can take
care of about 240. AS the male
members are invited to bring their
ladies and the female members their
husbands. this will double the num-
Der that might wish to be present. SO
if any member should not receive an
invitation a call at the, Chamber of
Commerce will tell him who has his
name.
The supper is to be a good one and
the program one of interest and there
is not the slightest doubt but what
there will be full house on the
night of the membership meeting.

Tho Turkish Nationalist Army

All the time ! was in Angora, l was
conscious of being in the seat of a
national war. The Greeks were still
advancing, and new classes had been
called to the Turkish army-young
boys under eighteen and even men
over forty-five. Through open let
tiers scattered broadcast, through
banners and professions and speech
es, men were urged to enlist. Daily
a recruiting squad passed through
the streets of AngOra with fife ana
drum to gather in the recruits. And
daily peasant recruits clad in simple
work dress, as if they had just left
| their labor in the fields, came into
Angora for their training. They
brought nothing with them rave per-
| haps a small parcel or an old flint
| lock that previous threats and appeals
from the government had failed to
draw out of its place of concealment.
Sometimes / met in the streets coun-
| try women with last gifts of food
and clothing for their men-folk be-
fore they marched away to the front.
The accomplishing Turkish soldier
made small demand on his COM
missary department. He received
the minimum in uniform and equip
ment from the governments scant
stock. He had no Regulation pack"
His knapsack accommodated merely
bullets and bread, the only recog-
nized necessarieS-the latter to be
sacrificed in preference to the former.
Lack of motor transportation made
provisioning at the front even more
| difficult, and barracks and hospitals
could only be improvised. But in
Angora both existed and the build
ings were connexions. The Red
Crescent was working valicntly every
where, but it also was short on per-
sonnet and equipment, which it could
bring through the Greek blockade
on the Black Sea, only by special
Intervention of the great Powers.
Despite the lack of many things
considered necessary by western
generals, the Nationalist army has
maintained itself courageously and
tenaciously. It's campaign has been
much less costly than that of the
Grceks-the Nationalist have had
less to spend. Though the Turks
temporarily lost territory. the Greek

Ban on Jaxxing Classics

longer serve tango dancers, nor will
themes from Beethoven. Mozart/and
Wagner be used for shimmies and
foxtrots in Paris If the Society OF
Authors, Composers and Music Pub
fishers has it's way.
This society has issued an edict
against the jazzing of classical
themes and it's warning is likely to
be needed, for it is this organization
which issues permits for all popular
music to be played and collects the
composers royalties.
The question first came before the
society three months ago, but was
allowed to drop in the belief that the
dancing craze would soon die out.
Now the organization is sending cir
culars to the directors Of all Paris
ian dancing places, notifying them
that they must respect the dead
masters and that the society consid-
ers itself the moral defender of their
works, which henceforth must be
given only in the form originally in
