G A, March 11.—An extraordi- nary situation has arisen over the expulsion of the Greek patriarch, Constantinos, from Constantinople through the receipt of a long letter frota Turkey by the council of the League of Nations in which the An- gora government argues that the de- portation was fustified. ~As Turkey previously had asked the council not to discuss the patriarch question be- cause it was purely internal and the couneil without =~ Jurisdiction. the Greck delegation has seized upon the letter as showing that Turkey virtu- ally admits the competeniey of the coun- cil by arguing the gase in its 10-page communication. Deny Turkish Report. A Greek spokesman said today that under the ecircumstances the case becomes a juridical questibn which should be submitted to the Yermanent Court of International Justice. The Greeks declare they will urge such a procedure unless the d pute is settled outside the council. They deny the Turkish report that the Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church has agreed to elect a nev pa- triarch Meantime toda the council wa for the World Court and Turkey accepted cent declslon interpre the con- vention for the compulsory exchange of populations and dwelt upon the importance they attached ~to the court’s judgments.

I left Chlengmai December 1920, on a commodious houseboat manned by a Lao crew, an Interpreter, a would-be cook and boy. Many times during the day I would stop the boat and climb the mountains to explore the forasts and collect plants. “The river at this season being low, it was difficult to make a landing.

We hurried on and finally reached decadent but beautiful Moulmein on Christmas eve. My next point of venture was the Kalama range of the Martaban Hills, where the natives sald Kalaw, or Taraktogenos kursii, ‘could be found.

Only a few hours before the big cat had stalked over the sandy trail to his haunts in the dense, low, bambo forest, which we bad to pene- trate in a bent position in order to reach the Kalaw trees. . “In all our rambles for three days we found only one tree With some 170 mature fruits, which I secured and the seeds of which I forwarded to America. “After iwo days’ marching through dense forest and crossing the Kho- dan stream many times, we reached Khoung Kyew. Here I found my first genuine chaulmoogra tree, some miles distant from the village proper. Wild elephants live in herds in these jun- gies and often come to bathe in the stream in the daytime. First we en- tered a dense dipterocarpus forest, then one of bamboo (cephalostachyum pergracile), and finally we reached pure stands of the genuine chaul- moogra tree, taraktogenos kurzil, but alas, no fruit.

The “mext day 1 started out with 36 coolies, determined to come back to camp loaded with chaulmoogra seeds. We had five or six miles to walk, always following a dry creek bed through the dense for- est. These creek beds are as flat as a floor, with no rocks visible. For miles there was only fine quartz sand, which made marching easy. “We passed through vegetation similar to that at Khoung Kyew until we struck the chaulmoogra forests There we ~separated into smaller parties and the seed collecting be- gan In earnest. “While thus engaged we met a WILKIN BREAKFAST ~\COFFEE Good Coffee at a Fair Price he headman of the village in- MARCH 11, 1925 mother b with her cu wild shouts from the natives she was driven off, leaving behind her younsg, which my Burmese coolles Insisted on taking to the village. “Loaded With seeds, we started down the steep hillsides, which are covered with chaulmoogra. trees, glad at heart that at last I had been successful “When we reached the stream bed up which we had come a few hours previously we found that a large tiger had followed us into the jungle, for there was its footprints so clear and distinct that I.stopped and pho- tographed them.” Delicious Food LUNCHEON or DINNER 12th & F Sts.
