FADING ROOMS HOLD
SPIRIT OF BISMARCK

GENEVA N0.-The league OF nations,
which has already sent to Latin
American countries many families
of Russian refugees, finds itself con-
fronted with the task OF evacuating
from Constantinople the last 5000
refugees resident there.
Under a Turkish edict, all the re-
fugees must leave ConStantinople by
February l. Up to 1921 no fewer than
10000 Russians had taken refuge in
the Turkish metropolis from their
native land, at the time OF military
movements inaugurated by Generals
Denikin and Wrangel.
DR.. Fritjof NanSen, high commits
sioner of the League of Nations for
refugee questions, succeeded in dis
perSing most OF the refugees to as
different countries, where employment
was found for them in confederation
with the international labor office
Funds furnished by member states
and by American and British relief
organizations financed the migration
AS the evacuation progressed, how
ever, the task of finding employment
in other countries for the refugees
became more difficult.
A climax was reached in 1926. At
the same time that Turkey declared
all Russian refugees must obtain Tur-
kish nationality or leave the country
before August l, 1927, France decided
that it could accept no more foreign
workers because OF the economic crisis
which followed the stabilization OF the
franc.
Only in exceptional cases could the
refugees obtain Turkish nationality
A temporary suspension was granted
in the degree that the rest must leave,
but now all have to go.
Among the 5000 Russians left in
Constantinople are many jazz art
lists, dancers, agriculturlsts, carpenters,
sailors, domestics and commercial folk.
It costs to transport and settle them
in South America about 500 apiece

JIG. PENNEY COMPANY EXPANDS
AS PART OF CELEBRATION PLAN
MARKING 10 YEARS IN DOUGLAS

here had been started about the first
of April, 1927, and when he came he
had gained promotion. He remain
ed here until 1913 Finally in 1920
he was sent to Gallup, N. Mex, to
be the manager there and served
there until 1921 when he was again
promoted by being made manager of
the store in Douglas and he has
since been here. His experience re-
fleets the policy that j. G. Penney
inaugurated when he began to eX-
tend his now far-flung chain of mer-
camille establishments all over the
country and he mas gained a loyalty
by that policy that has brought a
drawing power to his store system.
The Penney store has proved a
drawing force to the buyers since it
was opened here. That is apparent
from the statement of Manager Scho-
field that in that year it sold close
to $250O00 worth of merchandise.
No statement has been given out as
to the total sales for 1927. 1t carries
a stock ranging anywhere from $780,
600 to $4,000 and employs a force
of from IL to the number that any
rush may require to handle, but with
the enlargement it probably now will
have to raise the number by two or
three, although with the careful floor
planning, the same force can now
handle much more trade than was
possible under the old arrangement
Manager Schofield, talking about
the enlargement and the future of the
store said, ''This new expansion is
merely physical manifestation OF
the firm faith which our company
holds in Douglas That faith rests on
the cornerstone of 10 years expert
ence during which the people of Doug
las have been kind to us by coming
to us for a large volume of the re-
quirements of their needs in the lines
we carry.
Managers Promise
Douglas has never been boom
city but it has always been a de-
pendable one. That has been the
strong appeal it has furnished to the
]. G. Penney company. We are in
terested only in those cities that may
be depended upon to go forward with
certain and fixed business mo-
mentum that means steady demand
for the current needs of people in the
various lines. That is a sound basis
for making plans. 1t is upon that
we have based the plans for this ex-
pansion and we feel confident that
we can forecast a satisfactory growth
of our business throughout the COM
ing 10 years. 1t is significant that
this enlargement fits into the close of
our decade here just as it fits into
the close of quarter of a century
of magnificent growth by the Pen
|ney system. That discloses "a fact
the Douglas store has been Keeping
it's stride in the forward march of
this great system. We not only hope
but we expect to continue to hold
that stride.
"We have high appreciation of
the buying public of Douglas and it
is pleasure to assure them as we
start the new year in the new quar-
ters with the new stock and under
a new policy backed by the old record
that throughout the future we shall
maintain the Penney standards, the
Penney integrity in business and the
Penney quality and price in every
trasaction that is carried out in our
store"

TOM HEENEY, TIL

New Zealand Blacksmith
Frankly Admits He Will
Give Gene a Battle

Fairhaven. N. j., July 24.-R-|
Blunt Tom Heeney, unaccustomed to
camouflaging his thoughts when in
reviewers ply him with questions,
frankly admitted today that he is in
the best condition of his fighting ca
reer. ready and eager to give Gene
Tunney the battle of his life when
they meet in the Yankee Stadium
Thursday night for the worlds
heavyweight. championship.
The six weeks training campaign
Of this good natured, rockribbed
New Zealander is over. He is glad
Of it. He finished his boxing yes
terday. Today there was nothing
for him to do but take Is minute
workout in the gymnasium with no
more work with the gloves. Tomor-
row will be day of complete relax
alton with not even gesture of
training.
The old hard rock, whose rugged
features are furrowed with lines
that reveal the near approach to the
peak Of condition. said he had not
set plans about his task of knocking
Tunney off the heavyweight throne.
Getting the feel Of Tunney is para
mount question of his battle strategy
Will Feel Gene Out
II have some ideas of course" the
challenger said. "but they probably
won't amount to much for the first
three or four rounds until l get the
feel of Tunney.
Zone of my ideas is that he is not
going to hit me very often with any
one punch. Anybody can hit me a
few times with any kind of blow,
but nobody can keep it up.
BLAST me, if l don't show you
Americans that I'm no sucker for a
left hook or a right cross. If Tun-
ney believes he can wear me down
with rids to the head ! am going to
discourage him."
Heeney is genuinely confident of
his ability to beat Tunney and bases
his conclusion on one thought that
has secretly convinced him that he
will become worlds heavyweight
champion. That thought is, he be-
lieves boxers are easier for him than
fighters, and Tunney is a boxer
rather than q fighter.
Heeney cherishes a letter received
from Tob Gibbons. once a contender
for the heavyweight title, the only
man besides Tunney to face Demp-
sey as champion, and be on his feet
at the finish. It will be no surprise
, to Gibbons if Heeney defeats Tun-
j ney. He worked with the New Zea-
lander while in London four years
!, ago preparing for a fight with Jack
Bloomfield.
Tom Isn't kidding
Believe me, you have a good
, chance" Gibbons wrote. "I'm not
,, kidding you, you won't find Tunney

know that when it is all over, Mr..
Tunney will know that he has been

Gibbons advised the invader not
to be what the boys around the cor
ner call a good fellow because when
; you are broke they will be the first
to turn you down."

Dempsey for his second battle with
Tunney, takes issue with the

poets. Dempsey gave him an even
chance, while Flynn, veteran hand

Tunney to win on points.
"Heeney, to me, has no more as

smith," Flynn said. "Tunney will
lick him sure, but may not knock
him out"

Gibson was frustrated when he re-
