General mobilization has been ordered and all military muni tions ordered removed from the sea- coast. Prepare for Defense. Definite statements have been made by Mustapha Kemal that he will not recognize the Sultan’s orders. At Si- vm, Amasia, Tokat, Samsoun and many other places there are trench digging and other preparations for de fense. Captain Forbes, the British passport control officer, has been seized nt Amasia and taken to Sivas, and it is feared the taking of allied hostages may become general. The French again have failed to re lieve Aintab, and Armenians from Ada na fere moving, with French permis sion, upon Hadatin in an effort to re lieve the Christians, threatened there. A message from Aintab, sent two weeks ago and just received in Constantino ple, says that the Moslems will not sell food 000 there. Turkish leaders who were at Marash have arrived in Aintab and it is feared another great massacre may occur. The Italians and French are both critical of the allied occupation of Con stantinople, which they blame entire ly upon the British, and declare that if the 2,000.000 unprotected Christians in Asia Minor are killed by Moslems enraged by the seizure of Constantino ple it will be the fault of the British SUJ power unit when the work done as a self-reproducing, self-repairing organ ism, is taken into account,” declared Wayne Dinsmore, secretary of the as sociation. “Millions of horses have worked from the time they were three years old, until they were twelve years of age without the expenditure of a dol lar for repairs,” Mr. Dinsmore said. move.

The process by which the forests are turned into silk stockings is a comparatively simple one. Wood pulp Is treated with caustic soda to form a sodium cellulose, and then dissolved in carbon disulphide. The artificial product has a greater brilliancy than natural silk, but is somewhat harsher to the touch. It is now used, not only for hosiery, but for dress trimmings, upholsteries and rugs, for insulating electric wire, and making durable mantles for in candescent lights.

Mr. Hughes, the Australian prime minister, has one characteristic of the “Diggers.” He can go very straight to the point which he wishes to reach. Recently the landlord of a wounded soldier raised his rent. This particu lar landlord was a rich man. Mr. Hughes promptly informed landlords in general through the house of repre sentatives that a repetition of this rent raising, would mean the widespread publication of the names and particu lars of the case, and he would follow up the publication by Inflicting any punishment he found possible. | zens of Dundee for his distinguished ■ achievements in the service ,of the state.” Dundee received the distin guished Admiral and Countess Beatty with all the exuberant enthusiasm of a city on the borders of the North sea, which was the theater of operations, gora for a conference with Mustapha Kemal. They were allowed to pass by the British passport control and are expected to return here in ten days. The delegation- is composed en tirely of Nationalists, hut they are as serted to be anxious to persuade the Nationalist leaders that the Sultan will not support them and the movement cannot succeed unless modified. While the British were repairing the bridge near Bilejik, Nationalists di rected a heavy machine gun fire upon them, but their ,aim was so bad that there was only one casualty. After crossing the bridge the. British bat talions burned it to check the Nation alists, w,hose game seems to be to force the allied troops to pursue them into the interior and keep up guerilla warfare rather than take the offen sive. Miss lvatheryn Stark of Brighton, Mass., and a student of the College of Secreterial Science, Boston univer sity, was presented a union card re cently when she laid the cornerstone for the new building. The presenta tion was made by Thomas S. Pickett, at right, while Master Mason George W. Downs, center, smiled his approval of admitting the girl to membership in the Boston Benevolent and Protec tive Union No. 3 of the Brickmasons’ union. \The horse carries a reserve power which the truck doesn’t have, and therefore does not often get stuck in a tight place like the motor vehicle.” Mr. Dinsmore said the horse can do short-haul work just as rapidly as a truck and from 25 to 40 per cent cheaper. During the recent snowstorm in New York when every means of moving traffic was said to have failed but the horse, the horsemen declare some mer chants paid as high as $50 a day for the use of the horse. Horse Importance Realized. The government realizes the impor tance of the horse, Mr. Dinsmore said, and has sent out bulletins encouraging horse breeding* Teamsters and teaming contractors nowadays want large and hdavy horses and are willing to pay for them. They are paying as high as $800 for a team of heavy drafters. Many of the large concerns have written the association that they must have horses for their short-haul work. The officers of the horse association are: President W. D. Dunham, Wayne, 111.; vice-presidents, John W. Gaver, St. Paul, Minn., and Clen Per- rine, Cincinnati; treasurer, George S. Bridge, and secretary, Wayne Dins- more, both of Chicago. Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Nebraska, Indiana and Mis souri are represented on the board of directors. DEER DOES AERIAL ACT DIPHTHERIA KILLS SIX I i Father, Unbalanced Mentally by Shock, Tries to Burn Home. Black diphtheria caused the death of the six children of Ross Beck, a farmer of Gardner Hill, Pa., in as many days and this is thought to have unbalanced him mentally, with the re sult that he tried to burn his own home, where his wife is critically ill of influenza. O d account of the contagious char acter of the disease Beck was unable to obtain help, and as each child died he constructed a casket of rough boards and buried the bodies In graves the hillside overlooking his home. The oldest child was nineteen years oljd and the youngest four days old. dug on STORE CUTS LIVING COST Co-Operative usiness House Brings as it ground of the I grand fleet. Earl Beatty spoke of the rapidity and efficiency with which the ship-repairing resources of Scotland had been converted to the services of the fleet, and paid a tribute to the bravery of Scottish fishermen when acting as minesweepers. The Reason. “Ton don’t seem inclined to embark on the sea of life in a matrimonial craft.” “Not I; it is too much of a revenue tutter.” Prices Down in Small Place. A co-operative store, that has been operated less than a year in Florence, I i S. D.. at the end of five months paid each stockholder a $17 dividend.

No circus ever staged a more thrll- ing animal performance than was witnessed on the trestle of the New England railway near Forest View cemetery, at Winsted, Conn., when a deer crossed the structure on the ties in view of many spectators, crossed South Main street and climbed a steep bank to the track. At the trestle, 30 feet above ground and 75 feet long., the animal hesitated, then started across. Once it missed its footing and seemed to be wedged between the ties, but struggled to its feet and finished the perilous journey, then dis appeared in the direction of High land Park. j A hound, which had evidently been chasing the deer, soon appeared and also crossed the railroad trestle.
