ADRIANOPLE, October 17.—Thirty thousand Greeks and Armenians have passed from this city to the west since Saturday, and the road between here and the Maritza river is an un- ‘broken line 6f men, women and chil- dren with oxcarts, cattle and camels. . Through a steady downpour of rain they are plodding doggedly toward their unknown destinations, driven forward by the nameless fear which ‘has gripped the whole populace of eastern Thrace since the govern- ment's bulletins were posted on Sat- urday announcing the terms of the Mudania armistice, which provide for ZYccupation of the province by the Turks within forty-five days. Nearly Uninhabited. _The members of the allied missions stationed here declare the extent of the refugee exodus indicates that Yhe Turks, upon their entry, will find eastern Thrace almost.uninhabited. The procession has been orderly, but the misery of the refugees is already extreme, and pneumonia will claim ny victims if the present inclement | her continues. The American In | charge of the little near east relief soup kitchen at the railway junction on the opposite side of the Maritza declared: g “In_all my experience I never imagined such a pitiable sight as the guarch from aAdrianople in the driving rain.

Jammed With Humaafty. Meanwhile, from the countryside a similar exodus is under way, and every road leadinrg to Maritza Is jemmed with humanity, cattle and wagons. This whole flood converges upen a single road as It approaches the Karagatch bridge across the Maritza. The refugees belleve that if they can reach Karagatch they will be safe from the Turks. This small village, which is just across the boundary, will be in neutral terri- tory until the peace conference de- ocides its fate. Although the_ railway is moving a congiderable _number of refugees westward from Karagatch, the. sta- tion there Is becoming the Tenter of a vast concentration camp. The rain has fisoded sll parts of the village, torcing the refugees from the low- lands into new camping places in the bigher -areas, - Cattle Drowned. Many cattle have been drowned by the quickly rising Maritza, on the west bank of which thousands. of refugees are encamped. Groups of giant dromedaries belonging to the army have been assigned to the duty of puiling refugees’ carts from th mudbanks into higher and - safer places. Meanwhile Adrianople has taken on the appearance of a deserted city, with the shops 2nd houses closed. The Greek and Armenian priests remain and are dolng conspicuous work in assisting the fleeing inhabitants.

TOLEDO, Ohlo, October 17.—Re- pudiation of the loans-made by the United States to the allied and asso- ciated nations during the war would undermine the whole fabric of inter- national good falth, Secretary of Commerce Hoover. a member of the allied debt commission, declared last night, In an address here.

SAYS SCIENCE IS NO TEST If You Want to Know How a Suit ‘Will Wear, Wear It; Don’t Send It to a Chemist! A lively debate on the merits vll the French-Capper truth-in-fabri bill featured this morning’s session of the Better Business Commission at the Washington Hotel. Alexander Walker, president of the National Sheep and Wool Bureau, vice president of the Strong Hewitt Company and a representative of the virgin wool interest, spoke in favor of the-bill, while Alfred A. Whitman, | chalrman of the legislative commit- tee. of the American Assoclation of Woolen and Worsted Manufacturers, addressed the convention In favor of truth-in-fabric legislation but op- posed the French-Capper bill. Mr. Walker vigorously advocated legislation which would prevent shoddy wool being sold as virgin wool. “Shoddy is second-hand wool,” said Mr. Walker. “It is the chief substi- tute for virgin wool. It is sold un identified. It is a fraud to sell shoddy us virgin wool. This is what the French-Capper bill goes after. It pro- vides for the identification of mate- rial in fabric, the same as the pure food and drug acts makes identifica- tion of materials in pure food and drugs compulsory. Public- s Misled. “Shoddy is sold because the public misunderstands it. The public thinks it is getting virgin wool, when shod- dy is all it gets. Shoddy should be sold for what it is; then the public will get what it asks for. ‘Legislation is the only protection. The public needs protection in this matter as much as they do in food. The French-Capper bill does not at- tempt to appraise or value goods. It simply makes it compulsory to iden- tity materials in fabrie.” Mr. Whitman, who spoke in opposi- tion to the French-Capper bill, said “shoddy” 1s a term that has been| used in the woolen trade for yvears. hodd: aid Mr. Whitman, “goes through almost precisely the same process as raw wool.

NEW JERSEY WET , ISSUE IN DOUBT (Continued from First Page.) papers are bolting the democratic candidates on the beer and wine issue alone” and are advocating rebuking the Wwets even at the cost of rejecting democratic candidates. hen 1 e into Jersey it -was on -information that republican ‘managers were concerned over Sen- ator Frelinghuysen’s prospects of election, notwithstanding the wonder-. ful victory he won in the primaries over hig contestant for the nomina- tion, Mr. Record. Soldier Vote for Edwards. Inquiries in quarters outside the managerial circles developed that there is ground for concern. He is opposed by the soldier vote for his course against the bonus. To be sure there {8 compensation in the support of those who uphold the President’ veto. But the soldier vote jg organ- ized and is militant, while the other is not organized for the purpose of re-electing Benator Frelinghuysen. The legion’s convention, held at At- lantic City in the midst of the cam- paign, and revival of discussion of the bonus is not calculated to help Senator Frelinghuysen. _ ‘There s a question--how the tariff will affect him. It would not seem. that in a thoroughgoing protectiontt. state such as New Jersey, where every industry depends upon the tar- iff, there would be defection on ac- count of his vote for the tarift. The manufacturers are with him, to be sure, but the democratic campaigners are- 2] ng- to the workingmen on the score that cost of living is to be enhanced by the tariff and they think [tguy will cause disaffection among them. f i “Many factors enter into this co dition,” sald Mr. Traphage: “It might be either the water the sheep drinks or the class of the mother and father of the particular sheep. The same thing is true of cotton. Both are dependent on the forces of nature. In the silk industry we are absolutely dependent on a worm. Some worms make good silk and of bad, yet technically they are both silk.” Try it First, He Says. . Traphagen gave an interesting defmonstration with two pair of shoes, both of which, he sald, were made of real leather. One sold at $4 and the other‘at $14. He demonstrated conclusively that while both leather, there was the widest, po: difference in the service rendered by each class of shoe. “Don’t an overdose of sclence,” he said. “If you wont to find out if a rubber ball will bounce don’t send it to & chemist for a test to see what kind of rubber it contain: i want to know how the mate. rlal in a suit will wear, wear it That’s the only way to find out what class of material is in it.
