PRESIDENT WILSON’S MESSAGE TO FINAL SESSION OF 63RD CONGRESS [The Governor's T J J-^eLQ>|r ^ Novelizatlon of Alice Bradley's Play GERTRUDE STEVENSON Turk» Forced by U. S. to Keep Own Peace London — The Chronicle has pub lished a letter from Athena praising the activity o f the American ambas sador, Henry Morgenthau, in Constan tinople on the night of November 1, when the English colony was not al lowed to leave the city. The action o f the Turks caused a panic among the British refugees, but the American ambassador assured them he would endeavor to get them away next day. The refugees passed a ter- rible night of anxiety and besides the police were harsh and brutal. The sights he saw made Ambassador Morgenthau determine to make the Turks respect his wishes. He formal ly advised the Turkish government that unleaa the British colony was al lowed to depart he would demand his passports and take them all as his pri vate guests on his special train. The Turks, the letter says, had no desire to flght the United States as well as the allies, so they gave in, but took revenge by assessing the refugees an arbitrary and illegal tax of from $6 to 1100 each. The next day the colony assembled at the station. Ambassador Morgenthau was there and personally supervised all the smallest details o f the departure, even distributing candy to the children before the train left. Words can hardly express the grati tude due him, the letter concludes.

Brushwood and fagota were built over It, and at head and foot and sides the fir« wa» applied. A Brahman di rected the rites, and once, as th* flames mounted and aspired, the brother, who was watching, clutched at his heart as there appeared for a moment, at the top of the pyre, a girl's face, wtth closed eyes, and mouth that teemed to smile; then th* radiant vail of flame shrouded It again. The smoke rose In gray whorls and was only for the moment that, think ing of days of childhood and dawaa by ths riverside, he forgot that It waa not she who had been consumed In the flames of the pyre. Then he re membered again, and looking up from th# pyre to the dazzling rlvar, he saw there on our boat his friend, th* Brah man, and smiled to him.—From "The Heart of India," by C.
