Q. 3 [FRON DELEEATES HONOR AN OF ARG Participate in Unveiling of Statue Given to French City by Americans. By the Associated Press. PARIS, August 13.—Members of the | American Legion, who arrived here 15 o'clock | where they | were to participate in the unveiling of | the statue of Joan of Arc, which was left Paris for Blois yesterday, this morning presented to that city by the Joan of | Arc committee ,of the city of New York. The cere which_was to - take place at afternoon, was to follow a reception to the Amer-; jcans by the mayor and municipal authorities at the city hs Paris welcomed the legion members with much the same spirit as that with which they received the Poilus when they returned from the great war. There was a genuine ring of enthusiam to the shouts from thousands of persons who gath- e the station Americans arrived from Cherbours. It was a repetition of the reception given them when they landed earlier in the day from the steamship George Washington at Cherbours. i 10,000 Look On. More than 10,000 persons later sur- ronuded the Arc de Triomphe to waich the American veterans pay tribute to their unknown comrade. Many of the Americans climbed to the top of the auto buses conveyinz them from the station, waving their hats and shouting to the Parisians, who were quick to acknowl- edge the greeting. One group passing the Elysee Palace recognized Premier Briand and gave him three cheers, while the premier bowed and smiled. After a reception at the Interallied Club, where Ambassador Herrick, J. J. Jusserand, the French ambassador to the United States, and many prominent officials welcomed them, the legionaires went to the Arc de Triomphe. Marshal Foch, Mr. Herrick, M. Jusserand and many regiments with which the Ameri cans had fought in the war and com- mittees of French veterans were pres- ent at the ceremonies here. Maj. Emery Places Flag. Maj. John G. Emery, national com- mander of the American Legion, who heads the American delegation, placed a silk flag and a wreath of poppies, en twined with French flags, on the tom! of the unknown soldier, saying: “My comrade, we greet you, not only as a soldier of France, but as our sol- dier. Let me bring you a spirit that is American. May the spirit of America always cover your soul as the American flag now covers your grave.” ‘When the ceremonies were ended the | Americans gave three cheers for Marshal Foch. He was much affected, and re- marked that with soldiers such gas America had sent to France it was im- possible to lose the war. EDUCATIONAL WILLOW BROOK ACADEMY.

WAITS ON WEATHER Prolonged Wind and Rain Over North of England Holds Up Final Tests. By t Associated Press, LONDON, August 12.—On the weather man now depends solely the winding up of final preparations for the voyage of the dirigible ZR-2 to her new home in the United States. His perversity in sending a prolonged wind and rain over the north of Eng- land and the midlands, after an unu- sually dry summer, is preventing the holding of the last of the airship's trials before she is boarded by the American crew. This last proving by the builders now is only a matter of days. Then, barring unexpected happenings, the new owners will take her over, and, favored with flying weather, quickly will conclude their initiation into navigating the big airship. Comman- der L. H. Maxfleld and the members of the crew which will pilot the ZR-2 across the Atlantic from England are eager to start. British Eager for Test. The British builders, who have watched the slow process of the ship's fabrication, are no less Keen to see rformances under American jmanagement. as they belicve their | claims for her excellence of construc- tion will be vindicated. ‘“The builders would like to see her start tomorrow, for they are as anx- ious as we are to see what she can do on a long flight” said an American officer who has made a voyage aboard the airship. He declared luntrue that the builders desired a postponement of the start, which the Americans insist will be made as soon iafter August 25 as meterological gon- ditions permit. Men Anxious to Be Pleked. At Howden, where the American crew is) billeted, a record has been established for good behavior among the enlisted men, as positions in the first sailing crew are eagerly sought. The final word on the actual choice of the ship's complement of thirty-five officers and men has not been spoken by Commander Maxfield, and every man is trying to make certain he will not be left behind. The airship’s wireless during the transatlantic crossing is liable to be put to other uses than the ascertain- ment of her position, the sending of news dispatches’ and other routine. for about the time of here departure an Army transport will leave Eng- land with the wives of several mem- bers of the crew of the ZR-2 who married during the months they have been here. FOUR OFFICERS ,NAM‘ED TO TAKE TRIP ON ZR-2 Lieut. Commander Byrd and Maj. Van Nostrand Will Represent United States. By the Associated Press. Two officers of the British air min- istry, an additional American naval offi- cer and an Army service officer have been designated to make the transat- lantic trip of the ZR-2, which will leave England as soon after August 25 as {her_trials permit. | Lieut. Commander Richard E. Byrd, {jr. of the naval bureau of aeronautics ihas gone to New York, from where he will sail on the Olympic for England, to return as air navigation expert. The !'Army will be represented on the flight by Maj. P. E. Van Nostrand, an airship expert. Lieut. Commander Byrd is taking over some special navigation instruments designed by himself for use on the first transatlantic flight by the NC boats in 1919. These instruments include the “aircraft bubble sextant,” speed and drift_indicators and a projection chart which affords a new and quick method for locating positions at sea. WILL GRANT HEARINGS.

By the Associated Press. H WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., August 13.{ —Communism’s grip upon popular ! favor in Italy was definitely broken | when the government refused to take | any drastic measures of repression against the seizure of factories by the workmen, his excellency Tommaso | Tittoni, president of the Italian sen- ate, told the institute of politics at Williams College. i “From the day the workers occupied the factories, and were obliged to realize the impossibility of their tak- ing over the entire administrative control,” said Senator Tittoni. “com- munism lost ground daily among the great mass of the people.” i Five Stages Traced. He spoke in part, as follows: “In the progressive movement to- ward the emancipation of the Italian | workmen five stages can be traced. From the period of mutual aid. which appeared with the rise of Italian unity and which had for aims moral and eco- | nomic betterment of the working classes, economy and brotherhood between workers—aims which, it is clear, were | already based on a principle of inter- national policy as affirmed by Giu- seppe Mazzini to be the great end of humanity—we pass to the time when class struggle began to develop in the ficld of economics for the improve- ment of wages, shorter working hours. and the protection of labor—a | period in which the firsi leagues of resistance. began to take shape on the disappearance of the mutual aid so- cleties. Communism Killed. “The fifth phase was mearked by the | invasion of the factories by the work- men—an action which created a great impression abroad and which led to the belief that Italy was on the verge of a revolution. “There arose a grave controversy in Italy as to whether this invasion should have been prevented or re- pressed. There is no doubt that if| such had been the case industry would not have been so hard hit by the hold-up of production and the| ccnsequent loss of foreign markets which continued during the long pe- | riod of unrest which followed the in- vasion. On the other hand, it should be. remembered that from the day the workers occupied the factories they found themselves confronted by reality and were obliged to realize the impossibility of their taking over their entire administrative control. From that time communism, as the recent elections have proved, lost £round daily among the great mass of the people. to the extent of being practically _exterminated in the great centers where it had taken “rmest hold, Bologna, Ferrara and Turin. New Problem Arises. “But a new problem arose—namely, the inspection of the factories by the workmen—which gaue rise to a heated controversy, and is now be- fore the Italian parliament. Italy is Ly no means the only country which Pas had grave labor agitations. They have been experienced everywhere. The movement, which at the present time is peculiar 'to Italy, is that of the peasantry and the agrarian so- cialism, unknown in_other great countries, which has obtained an ex- tensive footing in many parts of the peninsula. The occupation of the fac: t lasted but a few days, but the occu: pation of lands has been a_phenom- enon of longer duration, though of this, too, we can say that the move- a8 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.,. GREEKS CHARGE AS TURKS PLAN EXTERMINATION By the Associated Press. BOSTON, August 13.— Charging that “the Turks evidently have a deliberate plan of exterminating the entire Greek population on the shores of the Black sea,” the Pan- Epirotic Union of America, with headquarters hgre, has just made public a cable message from Dr. Tholdis, president of the League of the Greeks of Pontus, in which he makes, “in the name of jusiice and the most sacred rights of man, 2 last appeal to the humanitarian sentiments of the United States.” i INHUMAN ACTS could survive have arrived by way of Sivas, as far as Albostan, in Kurdistan. The fate of the Chris- tian villages of the interior is ignored. The village of Ada and its surrounding country, contain- ing a Greek population of nearly 3,500 persons, has. been burned down, and their inhabitants massacred by the Turks, who turned these villages into ashes “ after having plundered them. Oth. er villages, around Samsoun were pillaged and burned down some time ago. \ “Yesterday the commander of the American torpedo boat 232, V. S. Houston, brought the news that on the 19th of July the Turks The message, dated Constanti- nople, July 24, reads as follows “The inhuman acts, assassina- tions, thefts, violations, arbitrary confiscations of property, all sorts of malefactions unheard of before, are in the daily program since the armistice in the littoral of the Pontus and in the interior of Asia Minor. “Recent news just received from the Pontus described, with the blackest colors, the desperate con- dition of the Greek population. The male Greek population from thirteen to sixty years of age of all the cities of the Pontus, Ine- boli, Samsoun. Kerassund, Ordou, Tripoli, as far as Trebizond, has been deported to the interior. “The largest part of this popu- lation has been massacred on the way by the Turks, and those who .CITIES HAVE MOST VIRILE MEN, SAYS DOCTOR, SCOUTING HILLS compelled the women, the girls and the children who were aban- doned by their relatives now in exile to vacate their houses and also to be ready to start for an exile. Fifteen thousand of these unfortunate beings from Samsoun, 6.000 from Kerassund and 14,000 from Ordou Ouniah, Fatsa, etc., are in danger of being annihilated, if they are not -already. In the name of justice and of the most sacred rights of man, we make a last appeal to the humanitarian sentiments of the people of the United States, and we ask the government of the United States to take immediately such measures which shall be judge convenient to put an end to this condition of things, which constitutes a shame in the full light of the twentieth century Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, August 13.—"Don’t send your children fo the country if you want them to be healthy—cities now produce the most virile men.” Thus Dr. John S. Fulton, secretary of the state board of health, explodes the old-fashioned theory that greater chance for health prevails among the green fields and the wooded hilis of rural districts than on the asphalt pavements and dusty playgrounds of the big city. 4 “It is not that the strenuous dnd sometimes endless tasks of life on the farm are not just as healthful as they ever were, but, says Dr. FUlton, “Cities afford more sanitary living conditions than the country,” and he pointed out that there were many reasons why city boys have a better chance for health than the country boy. “In the first place, the llving condi- tions are more sanitary, medical at- tention is more prompt and there are greater medical facilities. Statistics show that there is a greater propor- tion of healthy Hoys among Ccity groups than the country ones.” “The theory that country life was synonymous with health and strength is still held by many of the progres- sive and advanced thinkers,” the doc- tor continued. “The adult death rate in the country exceeds the city's rec- ords, and the number of cases of con- tagious disease are always in the as- cendency in rural communities.

The Senate committee on post offices and post roads will report next Mon- day to the Senate a bill for good rogds, which will be in the nature of a “compromise between Senate and House bills on the subject. It will carry an appropriation of $50,000,000 immediately available, with : similar sum available six months Central Point, Caroline county, Sep- tember 5. The association was organ- ized last year by the residents of the counties of Caroline, Essex and King and Queen, where there appear to be a considerabfe number of men, women and children who are Jdargely of In- dian blood, many of them being of genuine Indian origin. Chief George L. Nelson of Owenton has charge of the arrangements in general, with several others of the tribe to assist. “There are to be war dances, Indian games and ceremonies,” writes Chief Nelson, “and these will be given by the Indians of our tribes and repre- sentatives of the visiting tribes. It will be an all-day affair and there will be plenty of music and an abund- ance of things to eat. We have a real Indian church and a large hall, and in case of rain there will be no lack of protection from the elements.” " Chief Nelson says that the proceeds from the picnic will be devoted to the building of a new high school for the benefit of the youth, that they may be educated and trained and become progressive citizens of ‘the state and country. He says he hopes that the people generally will come to this anniversary. These Indians are generally farmers and are good citizens in every-respect, are devout church people, and they attend to their own business and are always ready to give assistance to their neighbors when in distress. Attorney General Saunders has been invited to make the principal ed. dress to the Indians, but he has en- gagements in court for that week and will be unable to attend. GOES ON RETIRED LIST. Lieut.

The farms are usually extensive, and the doctor must lose much time in getting about. “In the city there is a doctor con- venient in almost every neighbor- hood, and the sick child may receive attention without delay. The doctor's proximity enables him to keep the jchild under se observation. The country ioctor may be just as efficient and scientific; his education is, no doubt, practically the same, but he lacks the facilities of the city practitioner.” Dr. Fulton explained that the city boy has available greater hospital facilities. “Children receive medical attention even in the public schools. Their mouths are clean, due to the attention given their teeth by school dentists in teaching oral hygiene. It must be realized that there is no more important item of good health than a clean set of teeth. I would like very much to have a hospital in every rural community,” he remarked seriously. “The need for such facilities is great. Dr. Fulton believes that much of the movement “from the country to the city can be attributed to mothers who realize that their children will be healthier in an urban community.

SPORT OF NATIONAL i i o NAVY DIVERS 10 AID GUN-BARREL HUNT Officials Believe It Is Part of Weapon Which Slew J. Bel- ton Kennedy. By the Associated Press. Calif., August 13.— A Navy diving crew, at the request| of Sheriff Traeger of Los Angeles, has been ordered to aid today in the ocean-side search for the missing bar- rel of a shotgun, the rusty stock of which was turned over to District Attorney Woolwine here by a beach campeér near Santa Moni nyon mouth. Officials declare their belief that it is part of the weapon used in the slaying of J. Belton Kennedy broker. Kennedy was shot near hi summer cottage in Beverly Glen, eight miles inland, August 5. The stock found by the camper the day following the shooting. It is part of an old-fashioned 12-gauge double-barreled Belgian gun, and in- vestigators point to the fact that the charge which caused Kennedy's death came from a 12-gauge gun. Others point out that the firing pins are probably too old to cause what they say were extremely clean-cut indentations on the caps of the two 12-gauge shells found in the glen near the scene of the killing. Authorities Are Silent. Authorities refused today either to confirm or deny any statement made in conmection with the picce, al- though Mr. Woolwine announced he “had reason to believe” that the shot- gun_butt was part of the gun used in the mystery shootin; Arthur C. Burch of Evanston, Il former college friend of the dead man and now under indictment for the murder, was said to have been identifled yesterday by a motorist Wwho says he encountered Burch in the roadster said to have been in the glen the night of the shooting. The meeting occurred, he said, near Santa Monica canyon mouth, where officers recently declared that they believed the slayer of Kennedy had gone in a machine, throwing the gun used into the ocean. The witness said that his lights flashed into the car and that the man inside the car was wearing dark goggles. Such a pair of goggles was found on Burch yesterday. Woman Declines to Talk. Because she does not want to be unfair “to a person in whose in- nocence” she believes, Mrs. Obenchain in an interview declared she pre- ferred to remain in jail rather than tell anything further regarding the events ‘leading up to the death ef Kennedy, who she one day hdped to marry. She said she might previously have given details that would have shed light on the tragedy and gained free- dom for herself had she not been ‘dazed” when first held by the police.

Golden Text: Thou shalt wor- ship the Lord thy God, and Him | only shalt thou se (Mat- | thew, 4.10.) | .Our lesson gives us a bird's-eve view of the remaining portion of Paul's first missionary journey, which covered the chief cities of Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, and Berbe.

CHICAGO, August 13.—An auction- eer's hammer yesterday pounded out an end to the Pathescope Company, a bankrupt firm, of which Arthur Burch, being held in Los Angeles in connec- tion with the slaying of J. B. Ken- nedy, was vice president and active manager. His father, the Rev. W. A. Burch was chairman of the board of directors. Sale of office furniture belonging to the concern took place yesterday to ;llltlfy an attachment of $473 due for ent. In -the business venture, which Burch headed, were a number of woman school teachers and stenogra- phers. Many investors, some of whom wept as the' furniture was carted away, have threatened to seek a fed- eral investigation of the concern’s ac- tivities. . DRUG PLOT CHARGED. CHICAGO. August 13—Warren C.

The sincerity of the people and the priests can be seen In the way they prepared to honor' the apostles, a Jupiter and Mercury, by _appro- priate religious sacrifices. Medical missionaries have received worship- ful devotion for the cures attending their medical and surgical work. which they have turned with great success to the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is still the great Healer of all our diseases. The two mis- jonaries protested against such honors being paid to them. They pointed out that they were only ordi- nary men and that ig was their mis- sion to turn men frd¥h an empty be- lief to a true faith. Paul found in their natural religion a point of con- tact that he used In teaching them the truth concerning God. He used nature to testify as a witness by its fertility—"filling _your heart with food and gladness"—to the loving care of God. Modern missionaries find in the various faiths of men points of contact by which they preach unto them the gospel of ships or railroads, and without abun- dance of funds to make this first and epoch-making missionary ~ journey comfortable. Persecution appears to mark the pathway of the apostles, which title| is given to both the missionaries in | this lesson. It pushed them out of) Antioch of Pisidia. “Shaking off from their feet the dust of the dry and sunburnt road, in token of God’ judgment upon willful unbeliever: they turned to the luxurious garden city of Iconium. Here they adopted the same methods of preaching Christ as at Antioch, with similar results. They found an opening in the syna- gogue and as result of their efforts among both Jews and Gentiles the town was divided concerning the Christ. Popularity is fickle. It changed quickly upon their refusal of homor into a persecution by a mob. Ene- mies, who had followed them, took advantage of the opportunity pre- sented by their refusing popular wor- ship to turn the tide of popular opin- ion against the apostles, so that they stoned Paul, leaving his body.outside the city gates, believing him to be dead. Paul never forgot that night. It recalled to him the stoning of Stephen and the part he had played in that event. It stood out in his memory. possibly because of its influ- ence upon Timothy, who was a na- tive of Lystra and was won for the Lord's service through Paul's labor. gospel. One can understand some- thing of the Jewish opposition, for Some hold that the mob actually killed him and dragged his body out- seldom in all history have any class of men been called to give up more on becoming Christians than was re- quired of the Jews of that period. For them to accept the gospel involved the admission that Judaism had ful- filled its mission, and that its institu- tions must now be placed upon an- other basis, and that their peculiar privileges were to be shared by all the world. The opposition which the apostles faced here was worse from the Gentiles than it was from the side of the gate as being unfit for burial. They believe that God miracu- lously rased him up from the dead in answer to the prayers of Barnabas and the disciples, whom they had won in that city for the Lord Jesus. They consider that it was at this time that he experiepced the raptures of the third heaven. When the few loyal be- lievers who had been won for the Master gathered around his fallen form, they evidently were filled with great joy when he was roused = Jews, who stirred up the antagonism S0 that the missionaries had to flee for their lives. Nothing could stop them from preaching the gospel, so from what appeared death. He . turned, bruised and bleeding, into the city, where the brethren ministered; unto him. The next day, with a tenac- . that we next find.them face to face with the darkness of heathenism in Lystra. It is evident that Paul recognized that the great centers of population presented the challenge of heathen- dom and the gravest social problems, which could be solved only by the gospel of the Lord Jesus. It was in Lystra where Paul faced for the first time a primitive pagan population. Hi8 missionary task called him to preach the gospel to these heathens, who were ignorant of the true and living God. The Jewish population was so small in Lystra that they did not possess a synagogue, so Paul preached in the market place. The attitude of a poor helpless man, who was unable to walk, having been ‘born a cripple, attracted the attention of Paul, who recognized that he had faith so that he could be saved and healed. The three-ply statement of his condition by Luke, who was a physician, proves that he was not a fake medicant but a genuine case whose miraculous cure was demon- strated by his leaping at once and continufng to walk. It proved to Paul that divine approval had been given to his efforts to evangelize the heathen in their darkness. That deed went home to that pagan crowd, as the work of our medical missionaries has won a place for Christianity among the heathen peoples of the world. They could un- derstand that deed of benevolence. They saw in it the power of God. They misjudged it when' they con- sidered Barnabas and Paul to be none | ity of purpose, Paul set out with ; Barnabas for Derbe, which was the home of Gaius, a_future friend and,’ fellow traveler of Paul. Although ne . special mention is made of any one event, God crowned their work there with success. They evangelized the,s city and won many for Christ Jesus. After a season’s successful effort ; a Paul determined to revisit the scenes, of his persecution and peril. In thises action he revealed his pastoral heart and heroic spirit. He desired noj only to confirm the brethren in the,, faith but also to see that the churches, . w thoroughly organized undegy; trained leaders, so that they could dg; effective work in advancing the king-.") dom of God. Retracing his steps, found that in the places avhere he had preached the evidence of the power of the Holy Spirit, who had in the apostle’s absence sustained and strengthened the bands of disciples, whom he had won for the Lord. He organized these brotherhoods by hav+ ing them select their own leaders under ‘his supervision. He trained these men and committed to them the care of the churches after a season of prayer and fasting with the entire membership for the success of their spiritual leadership of the flock of God, as His under shepherd. Return- ing to Antioch, the faithful and herolc missionaries assembled the whole church and reported to them what God had accomplished by their mis- sion and ministry, as an evidence that He had opened the door to the Gea- tiles and approved of their labor.
