Constantinople. — The nationalist
government has seized control of Con
stantinople, Rafet Pasha has been
made the new governor and Hamid
Bey, the representative of the Angora
government, has ordered the allied
troops out. In a note to the entente
he has demanded evacuation of the
allied forces.
The Turks have torn up the Mudania
armistice convention and have begun
advancing into the Cbanak area, oc
cupied by the British, and other neu
tral zones.
Since noon Saturday, the national
ist administration is declared to have
been established and In celebration of
this masses of excited Turks have
been engaged in disorders.
Students marched against the palace
and engaged in such manifestations
that it became necessary for the allied
police to fire on them, several of the
Turks being killed or wounded.
The Christians in the Stamboul
quarter throughout Saturday night
were seeking shelter and protection
from what they plainly feared a Turk
ish massacre.
Sunday, however, the government
authorities issued orders that all dis
turbances should be rigorously put
down. The allied high commissioners
accepted the new regime and there
was nothing left for the sultan’s min
istry but resignation.
Tewfik Pasha, the grand vizier,
realizing that his power had disappear
ed, dispatched messages to the repre
sentatives of the sublime porte in the
various capitols to transfer their
archives to the representatives of the
Angora government.
There seemed danger for a time
that the radical forces would gain the
upper hand. The sultan was denounc
ed, together with monarchy, and
Mustapha Kemal Pasha was acclaim
ed as “our president.” It became nec
essary to throw guards of troops
around the sultan’s palace within
which Mohammed VI, now caliph only,
is spending fearful hours.
Mohammed VI has given no evi
dence of conforming to the determin
ation of the new government to rid
Turkey of the high office of sultan,
but the quickly developing popular
movement may soon compel him to ac
cept the inevitable.
Rafet Pasha sprang the news of
the change in government in a dra
matic fashion on the allied generals.
The generals had summoned Rafet to
discuss the question of the admission
of Kemalist gendarmes to the Galli
poli and Chanak sections. At the
termination of the discussion, Rafet,
by way of an afterthought, broke the
startling news like this:
“I must inform your excellencies
that, since noon the Constantinople
government no longer exists, and I
have assumed the governorship.”
Ex-Kaiser Weds.
Doorn, Holland.—The German ex
emperor and Princess Hermione of
Reuss were married Sunday at the
house of Doorn, where the lord abides
in exile. This second venture was in
strange contrast with that day in 1881
when, as crown prince, he wedded
Augusta Victoria, daughter of Grand
Duke Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein.
Several of the offspring of that first
union were present to set the seal of
family approval to the new alliance.
There were two ceremonies, a civil
contract drawn up and signed by
"Wilhelm II” and "Hermione, Reuss,”
as they affixed their names; the sec
ond, a religious ceremony, conducted
by the ex-court chaplain, Dr. Vogel,
according to the Lutheran rites.
Reds’ Demands Severe.
Moscow.—Soviet Russia insists on
full representation in the Lausanne
peace conference upon the same basis
as the other participating powers. M.
Tchitcherin, the foreign minister,
makes this known in a note he has
sent to Great Britain, France and
Italy, in reply to the invitation of the
entente that Russia take part only in
the discussions relating to the straits.
The note also demanded the participa
tion of Ukraine and Georgia.
Ashland.—Using a master key, burg
lars forced an entrance to the Ashland
Lumber company’s office Friday night,
making away with $228 in cash and
checks. A punch and hammer were
used in breaking into the safe. No
visible clews were left by the rob
bers.

cement are awaiting shipment at the
plant of the Beaver Portland Cement
company at Gold Hill, and cannot bo

age, said F. L. Jones, field engineer
of the Portland Cement association,

Baker.—Heart disease, probably ag
gravated by “too much moonshine”
was the cause generally assigned by
sheriff's officials and others for the
death of John Pelly, 55, a plasterer,
formerly of Weiser, Idaho, whose body
was found in a room in the Lundale
hotel on Main street Saturday.

La Grande.—The payments of taxes
in Wallowa county have been a shade
better this year than last, according
to the county tax collector. Delin
quencies now total $180,290 on the
1921 roll, or 35 per cent of the total,
when the books were closed the night
of October 5. Of the roll due last
year, 19 per cent remains unpaid.
Since the closing of the books a con
siderable percentage of the delinquent
taxes has been cleared up.

A storm, accompanied by low tem

ember would result in a loss of a
heavy percentage of the district’s
apple crop. The car shortage has re
sulted in shipping concerns limiting
daily deliveries of growers to small
quantities on a pro-rata tonnage basis.
Salem.—As the result of a postoffice
ruling received Saturday by Sam A.
Kozer, secretary of state, the taxpay
ers of the state will save approximate
ly $3000 annually. In the past certifi
cates of motor vehicle registrations
have been sent out separately and at
a cost of 2 cents each. Under the re
cent postoffice ruling these certifi
cates of registration will be placed in
a sealed envelope and will be attach
ed to the license tag container. This
will make it possible for the secretary
of state to save 2 cents in postage on
each motor vehicle license sent out
from his department.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
“DON'T”
word “don't" is In gen
T HE
eral use and it Is recognized
by grammarians as a good Eug-
llsh wonl, but it must be remem
bered that "don't” is a contrac
tion of the verb "do” and the
adverb “not” and it is equiva
lent, therefore, to "do not” and
not to "does not.” “Don’t”
should tie used only where the
two words “do not” may tie put
In its place.
Correct usage permits the em
ployment of "don’t” only with a
plural noun or pronoun, or with
the personal pronoun “I" or tiie
personal pronoun “you." Never
say “he don’t," "she don’t," “it
don't," etc. Even the most un
trained ear will detect the error
when, for example, "he do not
go" is spoken or written, but
the incorrectness of "lie don't
go” is not so apparent.
8uch use of the word “don’t"
as In the sentence, “One swal
low don’t make n spring" Is
heard frequently; but Its Incor
rect ness becomes apparent when
•"do not" Is substituted for
“don’t” un<l the sentence be
comes "One swallow do not ”
make a spring.”
The proper worn to n. 0 when
a contraction for “does not” Is
desired Is “doesn’t"; for exam
ple, "One swallow doesn't make
n spring."
