R — —— T — SHYRNA'S HISTORY WRITTEN IN BL0GD (Gity Has Boen Scene of Violence Since Early Days From the days used paddle boats to the modern superdreadnaughts, Smyrna in the Near East has been invaded, looted and burned by invad; its people massacred or robbe ofttimes both, according to Asa K. Jennings, foreign secrctary of the national Y. M. C. A.. Mr. Jennings spoke at the annual banquet of the local Y. M. C. A, last evening. He told his hearers that Smyrna, one of the oldest cities in the world, was the city where Christianity be- | gan and where the early prophets first the doctrines of Christ. He pictured Smyrna with many other Turkish | coloniea by Greece at the close of the World War. Smyrna he said had a negative psychology. The women | once thought that by veiling their| faces they were guarding against the torces of evil. By removing their preached the acquisition of | when men first time of | if they followed that policy. “Help the other fellow—the Turks are looking for help,” he said in con- clusion. | The banquet was the second an- nual affair of this kind and was in | charge of Albert G. Basney, soclal secretary. The general committee assisting Mr. Basney seph Luke, chairman, who also act- led as toastmaster; Stanley Neverick, Elmer Nyborg, Stanley Covaleski Francis Narkon, Oscar Larson, Ray- mond Holst, Anthony Stankelis and Frank Charbon. After the meeting a program Of games, entertainment and dancing was conducted in the gymnasium under the direction of Joscph Herg- strom, athletic director. City ltefis William Stepina of 11 Webster | Hil complained to Captain Kelly | yesterday that a dog bit him on the arm. The dog warden is investigat- ng. Clayton Moorcroft of 319 Rocky Hill avenue reported to the police | that his bicycle was stolen off his veranda. Jonathan Eshia of 104 Silver street reported to the police today |that his sarage was entered during the night and a battery, grease gun and tools taken. vells many of the natives thought | they were inviting the evil forces. | Mr, Jennings remarked that, his own observation, some of them om might just as well have kept their| le faces covered. He said Smyrna was the home of | John the Disciple and the stadium where he was buried still stands. | He explained how the Greeks drove | the Turks out of Smyrna when Tur- | key was dismembered after World War. He said there was trou. ble all the time Smyrna was under | Grecian rule because Smyrna would | 1ot submit to the rule of the Greeks The Turks, he said, believe the | Christians are their neutral enemies, because the Christians have failed | to exemplify the life of Christ. “The | motives of the Christians in the Near East are selfish,” the speaker | stated. Another trouble-making source in Turkey according to Mr. Jennings, is the extraterritorial rights, which he said are just the same as those in China, over which there has been much controversy. Removes 350,000 Refugces In 1922 the Turks revolted and drove the Greeks out of Smyrna, the | speaker continued, adding that the | retreating Greeks drove swarms of | refugees before them. They were pursued to the sea by the infuriated Turks. During this revolt all Amer- icans in 8myrna were ordered by the United States government to vacate. All but a few left. Among those who remained was Mr. Jennings. The | remaining Americans stayed four days until Mr. Jennings demanded ships from the Greek government to remove refugees. He was given 50 vessels which were used to trans- | port 350,000 Christian refugees to mafe territory. Many of the refugees were natives. Mr. Jennings said he attributed the ability to organize this vast mi- | gration to his Y. M. C. A. training in organization work in America. He sald the Turks in Smyrna are | discarding the laws of the Koran to & large extent, and are advocating | the separation of church and state. The results have shown up in great- er freedom for women, polygamy has been abolished and monogamy estab- lished. Women can own property. A nmew educational system has been | instituted which permits boys and #irls to attend the same school. { Details in the d opment of | civilization in the Near East are | taken from the Western countries, he informed his audience. Four Conflicting Groups In Turkey | He said there are four groups of people now in Turkey, with distinct views towards the growth of west- ern ideas. One group believes any- thing western must be better, an- other group insists its institutions must be as gcod if not better than the western institutions; another | believes, “We know as much as any- | body else.” This group he charac- | terized as enemies of progress. The third group, he said, was the lazy, group taking the attitude, “We arc | content as we are.” Mr. Jennings said that under the reconstruction of the last five years the situation has shown more pro- | gress than in any other nation in the world. World peace, he said. ‘was recognized as an important fac- tor. He elosed his talk with an in- junction to his hearers to follow the | dictates of their own hearts and | said they would not go far wrong | New York Motor Coach 9:30 A.

COMMUNICATED Object to Mayor’s Action Editor New Britain Herald: Tt certainly was disgusting to read about the conduct of our mayor at vesterday’s election. Instead of com- mending the officer for doing his duty when ejecting him from the voting place, where he appears to have been loitering, and he knows well that it is not permitted, he re- turns a second time, whercupon he was again ejected. This naturally irritated His Hon- or, 5o he complained to the chief, | who, it seems, instead of taking the | officer away, should backed him up. Or does not the law regarding 1oi- tering at voting places apply equally to all of us? have TATR PLAY. | Titulescu Asked to Form Rumanian Cabinet Bucharest, Rumania, Nov. § (R— The regency council today invited Nicholas Titulescu, former minister | of foreign affairs and now Rumanian minister to Great Britain, to form a ministry of national union in suc- cession to the government of Vin- Bratianu.
