lndisputable ascendency in all the
Agean and Anatolian region. But
visit the Near East and what is your
discovery? There you realize that
Greece looks vastly more like vic
tor, now, than Turkey. {
Shabby constantinople
The Turk holds Constantinople, of
course, by virtue of soaring Europe's
peace negotiators when he came down
to the Bosphorus with the big, inso-
lent army that had driven all Greeks,
military and civil, out of Asia Minor.
But there is grave question about how
much glory there is in holding the
Constantinople of today. The city
looks meaner and shabbier than it
ever did before. Try as one will to
wish well to the modernized Turk in
his professional reformations, one has
to acknowledge that if the appearance
Of the city of Constantinople is any
sign, the Turk is still the sick man
of the Orient. And he has lost Syria.
Arabia, and Mesopotamia forever.
Prosperous Athens
On the other hand, in startling con-
trast, Athens is city on a boom. BY
the same token the present-day Greek
is in lusty health. Greece's come
back since 1922 is amazing. Not only
in the capital and in other cities, but
in towns and in country districts there
abound evidences of sound and
growing prosperity.
All this has happened as the direct
result of Greece's great defeat" The
stupidity of the Turks in driving out
their Greek Christian subjects, after
their supposed triumph at Smyrna, is
proving an incalculable enrichment to
Greece. After the fall of Smyrna the
Greek nation in Europe, with rare
generosity and faith, opened its doors
to receive the refugees of Grecian
stock who were being expelled from

~ UBLIC opinion in America is

to great extent on the prosperity OF
others BY helping the Near East
Relief you are laying great founda
ton for Americas future in foreign
lands.
You may think it strange that I, as
an EngHshman, should rejoice to see
American competition growing in
these countries of the Near East.
do so not only because as sincere
friend and admirer l am glad to see
prosperity in this country, but also
because believe it will bring pros
perity to those countries also.
At the time Of the Christian exodus
from Anatolia, 100000 refugees were
received into impoverished Greece. II
is estimated that fifty per cent OF
these people are now able to provide
for themselves. The Greek govern.
ment is spending millions for this pur.
pose, and the refugee commission OF
the League of Nations is administer
ing large international loan for the
same purpose. say this to show how
impossible it is to expect these over
burdened agencies to take over the
many thousand children whom the
Near East Relief is so generously and
n,agnifcently supporting, teaching
them to earn their own living and be
come useful citizens. For the rNeal
East Relief not only gives these chill
dren what we generally mean by~edu
cation, but also teaches them an kind.

Cooperation in China

The remedy for the woes of China
and the safeguard against these perils
are in principle simplicity itself. Time
and again it has been demonstrated
that when the Chinese, whether in the
capital or in the provinces, know that
the powers are really earnest and
united upon common course Of action,
they bow without reserve to the de-
mands made upon them. 1t is not
creditable to the craftsmanship Of the
principal powers concerned that they
have not managed to preserve this
unity in essentials when dealing with

BUS SKIDS DOWN HILL

One May Die in Crash Al Tarry- town-Chlldrcn Escape
 UnscRthed

TarrytoNn, July 29.-Despite the rain there were enough pedestrians and motor cars In Broadway at 9 o'clock last evening 10 cause an ex- cited scurrying to places of safety when biz automobile bus was seen skidding and careening down Me- Keen avenue hill, one of the steep est hills in Westchester county, which runs into Broadway opposite the residence of F. V. Willard, al- most in the center Of town. The car was obviously out of control. Women and children were screaming ex- citedly and several men were cling ing the steering wheel, evidently try Ing to swing the big car into Broad way without an upset.
 At each moment the car gathered more speed until 1t fairly flew down the hill, across Broadway and Into the curbstone opposite. Efforts of the men aboard to swerve 1t round the corner caused 1t to strike partly sldewise and the biz car tcppled over on It's side carrying It's whole cargo Of 49 men, women and children with 1t.
 When the last of these had been helped from the wreck by the crowd of police, firemen, villagers and pass ing motorists who quickly gathered about the bus 1t was found that one man was injured so badly that he probably will die, In the opinion of the surgeons at the Tarrytown hos pital. Fifteen other persons were taken to the hospital but every child on board escaped unhurt,

POLAND DEMANDS
 FULL SECURITY
Foreign Minister Addresses Will.
 liaTnstoWn Institute

WiIliamstown, Mass, July 20 R Security for Poland must precede any limitation of her present armed forces, Count Alexander Skrzynski, Polish foreign minister. who Is at tending the institute of politics here, said today. He declared that the Franco-German security pact now under consideration must provide for the Polish-German frontier.
 Poland already has tried the ex- pertinent of placing disarmament before security, and 1t was a costly one," Count skrzynski said. "She found that In the eighteenth cen- fury her belief that having no army would make for peace was wrong. Another country simply jumped on her and helped itself.
 There is no question of victor ious war In Europe. Another con- fict would destroy civilization. But we must work gradually toward se- curity and then to armament limi- tatlon."
 The security pact between Trance and Germany must follow. not pre- cede, the entry of Germany and other countries into the league of nations, the minister said, and he added that 1t was evident that Mos COW looked unfavorahly on the pro- posal that Russia should become league member.
 There is no use Tn talking with her now" he said. "As to our Ger man frontier. any agreement which protects one frontier and leaves an- other insecure Is making for war, not peace. Thanks to the United States there is now no German menace in Europe, but Poland can- not form immediate friendly rela- lions with her neighhors because Germany claims the territories which were formerly hers. but which always have been Polish"
 Poland, Count Skrzynski said. was unwilling to relinquish her upper SIesian territory or her claims to the corridor of Danzig.

However, during the trial it was brought out that there were no patents on single row ball bearings, consequently the s2.00O,O00 claim was considerably reduced and the issue became one of bow much Nr.
