s warden. mmmh micro iiUUMllItt UULLIV PLACE TO HOLD PEACE PARLEYS Mudania, Oct. 3. (By AmocI Mied Irene.) never was there a atntDicer setting lor contereoce ot world powers tn.n tois mile Tillage, on. the aouitiern shore oi the Sea oi Marmora. Even the lneeuv of the great warships ol England, France and Italy seemed Incongruous in tbe tiny eotre blt- d with rots and mud which Is Mudania's harbor, tor their only neighbors were a few scattered fishing boats and nondescript barges. A few hundred yards from the point selected for the anchorage of .the Iron Duke lay the gaunt skele tons, half submerged, oi two Turk ish transports sunk by British submarines during the world war. Nothing about Mudania is im pressire save tor the bulk of snow . capped Mount Olympus, rising ma jeoiically in tbe distance. The town Is squalid and depressing. There is not a single bunding ot architectural pretensions; tbe iuiusea are of mud, shaped like fcuse beetles and the stores thrust Weir latticed windows into tbe crooked narrow streets. There is no sound of railway or motor truck to disturb. There is o evidence ot modern Jife, tare lor two telebone wires wbicb run into tbe offices of the police and mayor. There is no restaurant, no postoffice, no busy markets no evidence ot tbe modern world ot busiuew except the unpretenti ous office of tbe Standard Oil com pany. Tbe town has been of little Im portance eiUier to businew or poi ttics since tbe days long since past when It was tbe port of entry for firusa in tbe period when that city was tbe capital of tbe Turkish empire. Once, however, about year ago, it flashed Into promi nence wben tbe now deposed King Constantine ot Greece made hi triumphal entry Into Asia Minor in tbe vain dream that this was to be tbe beginning ot the re-eslab lisbment of tbe Greek empire. ; WASHINGTON FIRES I SWEEP 250,000 ACRES - Seattle, Wash., Oct. 3.

Took blue ribbon at State GARAGE OUTRAGES HERE Abram Kroeker, formerly a res ident of the southern part of Rus sia in the Mennonite colony, ar rived Id Salem yesterday after many narrow escapes and is now visiting for a short time at the Deaconees hospital, a Mennonite institution. Mr. Kroeker was, before the bol shevik! came into power in Russia, an editor of a small paper. His articles did not conform to tbe movement of the new leaders and he was ordered snot. However, after many hardships be was able to get away and go into biding. His son, a doctor in one of tne hospitals, was taken and held in prison for seven months but a number of tbe other doctors who sided with the bolsbevlki secured his release and be is now back in tbe hospital. The elder Mr. Kroe ker, it is said, stayed in the same city as his son was held captive so that in case the radicals would take his son in his place be could come out from biding. As soon as the son was released, the father came to America. Last night in a brief talk given in tbe hospital chapel he painted some thing of the suffering and priva tions tbe people are going through. In the hospitals many oi tbe patients are dying because they cannot be furnished suffi cient food, be said. The few that do live owe their lives to the American relief society which has given both food and clothing. Mr. Koeker further explained that the war was not nearly a oad as the revolution. "Tbey said tbat they would give us freedom and all they gave us was the free dom from our money," he said. Before the revolution tbe people of southern Russia were quite wealthy but tbey were forced to give until nothing was left and now the crops have failed tor two years in succession that it is im possible to get food or money to buy clothing." In a letter received from the son it slated tbat the clothes that he was wearing at the time were, many of them, trom tbe American relief societies. Mr. Kroeker is planning on bringing bis family to America as soon as possible. WENATCHEE RAILROAD PROJECT IS FAVORED Washington, Oct. 3.
