Methodist Sewing School Teachers Plan for Winter. At a meeting of the Methodist Sew- ing School Teachers yesterday after- noon plans were outlined for the coming winter seasan. The Ladies’ Home Missionary Society of the Methodist . church is in charge and will] be assisted. by the City Mission workers. Since the outbreak of the war great activity has been started in Red Cross Sewing Circles and plans were com- pleted vesterday at the meeting to aid in the good work which the Red Cross is doing. Red Cross work will be introduced into all the sewing schools of the City Mission. In co-operation with the food pledge card campaign which started | Monday talks will be given to the children in the sewing schools and also to the mothers at the mothers’ meetings. For the benefit »f the Ttalian congregation at the South Con- gregational church, Rev. Aurelio So- fla, the new Italian minister, has vol- unteered to translate some of the more important items in the food pledge cards from FEnglish to Italian to give the TItalians a more beneficial opinion of what is de- countered in several instances in im- pressing the importance of conserv- ing food to those of foreign descent. The cards when translated will be distributed by Miss Bertha Campbell and Mids Caroline Bartlett at the eetinge of the congregation and will also be delivered to their homes.

GERMANS WERE ALSO CONCERNED Respogsible for Deportation of Greeks from Turkish Domain Athens, Greece, Oct. 28— (Corres- pondence)—Greek authorities have received information which convinces them that not alone the Turk but his German advisers were responsible for the deportations of Greeks from Turk- ish dominions, as a consequence of which 700,000 bhave suffered persecu- tion or death. It is asserted that the Greek lega- tion at Constantinople protested to the then King Constantine of Greece from the beginning of the deporta- tlons, but recelved no assistance or encouragement from him. The ‘lega- tion then lodged a protest with Talaat Bey, the Turkish grand vizier. His reply, as shown by official pa- pers, was that ‘“these measures are taken by advice of our German ad- visers.” The Greek legation then took up the subject with the German gen- eral, Liman von Sanders, who is de- clared to have replied that the pres- ence of the Greek communities within the Ottoman empire was dangerous to military operations and that he was *“‘only executing the orders of the Ger- man general staff.” An account of the persecution of the Greeks which has been given to the Assaciated Press states: ““The method of depopulation adopt- ed has been very similar to the meth- lod adopted with regard to the Arme- nian races. During the night, armed |irregular troops of the Turkish army would form a cordon around the doomed district. The inlabitants ‘would ‘be awakened by means of bells and ordered to evacuate the village in jten minutes, for military reasons. No iextension of time was allowed, one ob- ject being that the victims should not be able to take anvthing with them, either food or goods. In the event of delay, the troops drove forth the ter- rifled people at the point of the boy- onet. 4 “The moment that the people had gone, hordes of bandits and irregular soldiery poured into the empty vil- lages and looted and burned the houses in a frenzy of destruction, while the inhabitants, old men, wom- en and children as well as the able- bodied, were on the march. ‘Soon after the march began, the process of extermination began to be put into effect. Men were separated from thir women and children, and parties were made up for a trip to various places, usually locations In far-distant parts of Asia Minor. Need- less to say, few of these parties ever reached their destination, being gradually killed off by exposures or ‘starvation. Thousands dled in bar- ren desert lands. Without food or, drink, and poorly clad, a speedy death at the hands of the soldiers would have heen welcomed by many. The soldiery generally being content to let direct killings at this stage. except of refugees who attempted escape, the | soldiery gencraly being content to let hunger and thirst and exposure do the | work of extermination for them. ““The lot of the women and chil- dren was the usual one, which has been described many times in ac- counts of the Armenian deportations. Being defenseless, they fell a’ prey to the first passer-by. Any Turk along the way who fancied a child or a | voung woman, merely took possession, and thousands of young Greeks are ! now interned in Mussulman villages, forcibly ‘‘converted” to Islam and forced to live as servants or concu- bines of the Turkish peasantry. “In the neighborhood of Con- stantinople, many of the deportees managed to return and appeared in the streets of the ecapital, starving, begging and sleeping in the back streets and alleys. To abate this scandal, the Turkish government had the police collect hundreds of these | wretched persons and concentrated | them at Pancaldi, where their fate is not yet kmown." It is declared that, as a result of | these deportations, all Greek commu- | nities have heen eliminated in the | { Thracian regions of Demotica, Sufli, Istranja and Eregli, from the coast | of. the sea of Marmora, from the penineula of Artaki, from all the vil- { lages along the Bosphorus and from _the coast of the Black Sea.

Financial STEEL DECLINE OF SIX POINTS Drops Down to 96, This Being Its Lowest Price of the Year ‘Wal] Street—Heavy selling of stocks was resumed at the active opening of today's gession, with many new low records fc the year and a much long- er period. U. S. Steel was again of- fered in large lots from 99 to 98, an extreme over-night loss of 6% points. Other industrials, notably equipments, as well as shippings, coppers, mo- tors and oils, lost 2 to 4 points. Ralls also denoted further pressure, Pacific, St. Paul, Reading and Pennsylvania averaging 1 point recessions. Ral- lies of as much as a point set in be- fore the end of the first half hour. The first rally failed to hold, being met by increased selling. U. S. Steel made a further decline of 2 points to 96, its lowest price of the year, and related industrials broke two to four points. Ralls were liquidated in large volume, active issues in that group ylelding 1% to 3 points. Metals, oils and sundry specialties lost 2 to 3 points. Shippings were inclined t hold, Marine preferred showing =& nominal gain at noon. Bonds were weak but Liberty fours held at par and the 3%'s ranged from 99.78 to 99.82. Marine preferred was the chief fea- ture of the bullish mid-session, rising substantially over yesterday’'s .close.

A list of extras to apply to bars, shapes and plates has been announced through a sub-committee of the American Iron and Steel Institute, and the general committee of the institute and its Bub-committee chairmen are now in session in New York to settle finally the price question on praducts not yet fixed. It is doubtful if a conclusion ‘will be reached at the one conference, but the situation now points to a clearing in a matter of days of the atmosphere of uncertainty. The whole movement indicates that a broad spirit of confidence is reposed In the representatives’ of the steel makers. The trade may accordingly | expect schedules of prices wuh‘ spreads commensurate with those of the prices already established. Like the extras just promulgated, recog- nized trade practices will undoubtedly be followed, even to adopting, as in this case, the minor departures which the special demands coming originally from Europe brought into being. Meanwhile prices have been drop- ping toward levels which are regarded as marking ‘the new maxima. Blue and box annealed sheets are now ob- tainable at 3c per 1b. less than in late September and galvanized sheets and tin mill products at 2c less. Last week cold-rolled strip steel fell from 9c to 7c per 1b. Om Government busi- ness, to be sure, but also indicating the tendency, aboaut 4,000 tons of rivets were sold at $5 to $7 below reg- ular quotations, The low rate at which business has | been booked for some months and the relative smallness of the specific ore ders for ship and shell material have lightened order books. One steel maker expects shortly ta be able to take on contracts in the finishea steel ! lines for which prices were fixed for the first quarter of 1918. What a dif- ference the new conditions impose is shown in a statement that the com- pany has already received complete specifications for fourth: quarter bus- iness which average 4.25c for bars, against 2.90c, the fixed price, and 4.50c for shapes .and 8c for plates, against 3c and 3.26c, respectively. While mills have been able to reach rolling of fourth quarter commit- ments, even of plates in some cages, deliveries on new general business will of course be upset if tHe gov- ernment begins to call for large quan- titles. An outside estimate of the structural steel alone to be required | for shipbuilding in 1918 is 2,000,000 tons, and the minimum 1,300,000 tons, which compares with slighfly over 3,- 000,000 tons, the country’s annual ca- pacity. Added to the structural steel ship needs is 1,500,000 tons of steel for 51, 000,000 shells to be turned out natur- ally as fast as possible and some of it of course on struetural rolling mills. .-No complaint is heard of the de- livery, of ship material. In fact, it has reached yards ahend of needs. The labor shortage is the all impor- tant pdint and shipbuilders are in session in Washington at this writing ‘chiefly to discover how. they can get the 300,000 men which It is estimated must be had. Buying of pig iron is not very ac- tive on account of the unwillingness of furnaces to take on additional ton- nages. As the weéks pass the scar- city of iron for delivery this year and in the first quarter of next is being emphasized. Southern furnaces are especially conservative. They be- lieve that all ‘the iron which North- | ern furnaces tan possibly furnish will | soon be sold and that then there will | bhe né difficulty in disposing of the ' Southern product, which in competi- tive markéts would have to be moved | at less than the maximum price_ set. During the past week there has been fair buying of basic, Bessemer and foundry grades in the Pittsburgh dis- trict at government prices. them are in danger of being com- pelled to bank on account of inade-; quate supplies. - The fuel administra= tor has agreed to apportion the supply of coke according to the amount of . business in hand for the government, .

Italian Headquarters in Nortl Italy, Oct. 31.—Premier Lloyd G has said that the horrors of a pelin rald attract much attentis whereas in their relative impor to vast sections of London remaini | untouched they are insignificant. Exactly the same conditions ' exist here, for while the horrors of the re: cent_experience stand out boldly o those ‘who went through it yet 't! is offset by magnitude of the ben cial military and strategic resuilts complished. % Exactly what these are cannot, be hinted at for the present, but. main fact is that anoher wall,—an other line of steel—will face. the. en: emy, and all Europe and America.are now doing their part to second Italy’s. great task. i Italian Headquarters in.
