TURKS VIOLATE MOSLEM RULE 13 CENTURIES OLD Order Statue of Mustapha Kemal, First of Kind in History of Country. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 27.—Tur- key has defled a Moslem proscription of 13 centuries’ standing by ordering from Gutzon Borglum a huge made- in-America equestrian bronze statue of Mustapha Kemal Pasha, head of the new Turkish republic. Since early in the Christian era the Turk has been a destroyer rather than a builder of statues. They vio- lated his Moslem precepts and aroused his religious ire. But strange things are said to be happening in the land of mosques, fezzes and harems under the reign of the popu- lar Kemal Pasha. The statue will be 30 feet high, of ecast bronze, will cost approximately $200,000 when erected in Angora, and probably will reqUire two years for completion. BUNCETON BLOCK BURNS.

By the Associated P'ress. PARIS, September 27.—The French reply made verbally sterday at the foreign office to the official protest submitted by the German charge d'affaires against France's imposition of a 26 per cent import tax on all goods from Germany, was, it is learned today, that this w: of col- lecting reparation is entirely legal and according to e: hed pre- cedent Great Britain ing imposed a similar recovery tax without elicit- ing protest. Official circles are inclined to be- lleve that Premier Herriot will make no further response unless Berlin reit- erates its protest, or unless Owen D. Young, temporary agent general for reparation payment, takes up the matter. START FREIGHT LINE. Isthmian Ship Firm Announce Service to Orient. NEW YORK, September 27.—Nor- ton, Lilly & Co. general agents for the' Isthmian steamship lines, an- nounced today that they will start on October 6 a direct monthly treight service from Charleston, S. C., via the Panama Canal, to Yokohama, Kobe and other Far Eastern ports. The first ship to sail on the new service wil be the Steel Age, a freight- er of large tonnage. One month later the Montgomery City will sail. Further sailings will be at regular monthly intervals. CITIES IN GONTEST FOR WORLD PLANES D. C. Assured of One for His- torical Exhibit—May Re- main in Use Longer. Since The Star announced on Septem- ber 7 that one or both of the world- girdling planes would be given to the Smithsonian Institution for a_permanent historical exhibit, the War Department has been besieged by requests from other cities for the first planes to make this momentous circuit. There scems to be no doubt that Washington will get the flagship, Lieut. Lowell Smith's plane, the Chicago. But when the gift will be made, and what disposition will be made of the other plane, th w Orleans, which com- pleted the trip under Lieut. Nelson, is not decided Need Planes in Service. The Army Air Service only had five of these Douglas cruisers to begin with. The Seattle was lost in Alaska and the Boston at sea near Iceland. The fifth plane, the Boston II, met the surviving two of the flight after they landed on this continent, an has only flown on the world trip across the country to the coast. The three left, therefore, really are needed for current flying service, officials assert. Each of the cities for which one of the planes was named is clamoring for its namesake, New Orleans, Chicago, Boston, while Los Angeles is making an equally strong plea on the ground that the flight started in California and the State should have one of the planes for its airplane museum. Will Take Vacation. The flyers themselves. after com- pleting the flight officlally at Seattle today will fly their planes back to San Diego and then are expected to take leave for recuperation from their arduous and dangerous enterprise. They have many Invitations to speak before scientific and other socleties, including some' in Washington, and later probably will accept some of the invitations. The air service already has learned much from the trip about the wear- ing qualities of metals, wood, and cloth in hot, temperate and cold cli- mates, and the planes will be disma tled and examined minutely in Cali- fornia for further facts. After a time they may come on to Dayton, Ohio. Many Lessons Learned. Among important facts now in hand from the flight are the discovery of the different requirements in radiators for torrid and arctic temperatures; the relative values of materials in propellers over water where molsture is great and over land where the air and the durability of wing under the same conditions. air service does not feel, like ny Washington motorists, that leaving planes out all night is a rea- sonable policy, or all day, either. Moisture and heat play havoc with the planes. The world-girdling planes are so large that hangars seldom were available during the flight, and often they were moored in water, getting wet and then being blistered by the sun. The great Barling bomber can find only one hangar in the country to accommodate it and has the same problem of deterioration from the ents. This problem, it is be- , can be solved only by experi- mentation in materials, and the world flight has given a great impetus to- ward a solution. e The famed catacombs of Rome are to be illuminated for the benefit of the visiting pilgrims during the holy vear celebration next year.
