ST. SOPHIA TO BECOME
ill
Constantinople, May 5 The faith
ful Turk does not visR the great
mosque of St. Sophia aa frequently
as he used to for he considers It a
foregone conclusion that St. Sophia
will become a Christian church as it
was In the fifth and sixth centuries.
One can always have en argument
In Constantinople over the question
whether the church will revert to
the Greek orthodox or Roman Cath
olic communion.
Christian architects already hare
rial ted the mosque and are making
their plans for the transformation of
the church when it is taken from
the Turks. The faint mosaic ot
Christ above the Mirab which has
been almost Invisible for centuries
will be renewed and the mosaics
of the apostles under the small dome
In the north end of the church also
will be . restored. Turkish inscrip
tions ot all sorts will 1e torn down
and replaced by Christian symbols.
The devil's face in the marble fac
ings under the big dome end the al
leged impression in stone of the hand
of "'Memet,-the Conqueror," also -will
tie retained aa a reminder of the
tenth of May, 1453, when Memet
climbed upon a heap of Christian
corpses In the church Constantino
built and smote the wall with bis
land still bloody from the bodies of
the Christian slain.
An aged Englishman who has lived
in Constantinople for 30 years pre
dicts trouble when the Christians
take over St. Sophia.
"I am going to stay at home that
day," he says. "Dozens of people
Will be suffocated in the crush and
'then, you know, the Turks have not
been disarmed since the armistice.
There will te bloodshed that day."

Vera Cruz, (Mexico, June 24. The
death of 75 defenseless passengers
was one phase of the revenge taken
by the rebel bands under the nomi
nal command of Flix Diaz for the
death of Aureliano Blanquet and
Francisco Alvarez.
A train on the Interoceanic line,
bearing peons being armed only with
instruments of labor was dynamited
between Pino and "Las Vlgas, the
greater number of the passengers
killed by rifle fire and their bodies,
together with the living wounded,
burned when the train was fired.

OF
Berlin, June 24. No longer will
ing to take the responsibility for
the "economic need and Incalculable
suffering" caused by repeated strikes
leaders ot the old Miners' Union as
sociations in the Ruhr district have
tendered their resignations. These
men, most of whom are majority so
cialists, have bitterly opposed the
strikes which for weeks have been
disrupting the coal fields.
"Strikes begin over the heads of
responsible leaders and against our
advice" the retiring officials say in
a statement accompanying their re
signations, "and are not answerable
to our comrades.
"A large portion of our members
and officials are prevented from at
tending miners' meetings and are
shouted down, cursed and threaten
ed, while Irresponsible 'word heroes'
work in the most senseless manner
for the destruction of our association
in order to attain their political pur
poses, which lead to economic and
political anarchy and prepare the
ground for counter-revolution oppo
sition. They see In the 8partacists
their ally and peacemaker.
"By strikes the number of work
less Germans has been doubled, in
dustry lamed, hunger lengthened,
food Importation prevented, the eco
nomic, financial and political break
down ot the German republic
brought into the near .future, and
unionized discipline destroyed.
"We decline responsibility for all
that. Our conscience, our honor,
our past filled with sacrifices, and
our love of our comrades force us to
abandon definitely a path which
many of our members appear to be
taking."
BULLET-PROOF TANKS
U.S.
Washington, June 23 Indestruct
ible gasoline tanks, automatic cranks
and portable hangars are a few of
the airplane equipment devices
which the army air service's engi
neering section Is seeking to -perfect.
American Inventors have been
asked to assist.
The . gasoline tank desired would
withstand "a salvo of la shots fired
at a range of 30 yards, the ammuni
tion consisting of service, tracer, In
cendiary . and armor-piercing bul
lets, with fire resulting." A. maxi
mum weight limit of 75 per cent
more than the ordinary tank has
been fixed.
. An automatic cranker, mounted
on a truck and electrically driven,
is under experiment. This instru
ment is designed to offset the great
Conflicting
1 j
difficulties now experienced In start
ing the big bombing planes which
are expected to be the type adopted
in aerial commerce. A flexible arm
is attached to the propeller, giving
the twist necessary to start the cyl
inders to firing and Is then automa
tically disconnected.
U.S.F,
Salonlki, June 24. large ' con
signments of American agricultural
machinery has 'been unloaded here
for use In Macedonia. The motor
plows are badly neexled on account
of the dearth of horses and oxen
which the Bulgars carried off with J
them. In the last six months the
American Red Cross fcas been In
structing Greeks and Serbs In the
use of modern farm machinery and
American methods of soil improve
ment and now farmers are being
given the opportunity to buy Imple
ments at advantageous prices. King
Alexander of Greece Is much Inter
ested In American farming machin
ery. Belgrade, June 24. The German
and Austrian peaceful Infiltration of
Serbia has begun. The hotels of this
city harbor guests whose Identity is
revealed by their heavy Teutonic cast
of features. They talk in German
and laugh loudly over their, beer.
Indeed it one does not speak German
in Belgrade one sometimes finds
himself misunderstood. The waiters
do not know EnKlish or French in
the majority of eases.
"My friends in Basle told me I
would be mobbed In Belgrade If 1
spoke German there," declared a
self-styled Swiss salesman. "How
ever, I found that when I spoke
Italian I was treated with disrespect,
that when I spoke French I was ig
nored and that when I spoke English
I was smilingly but politely told, In
German, that I could be best served
by speaking the tongue I know best."
- Serbia from one end of the coun
try to the other had been flooded
with cheap Austrian and German
goods. How they got In one cannot
learn but every show window In the
villages from Uskub o Semendria
contains cheap mirrors toilet ar
ticles, knives and gimcracks of
every discription '1Made In Austria."
Many of these articles are backed
with cool red pictures under celluloid
of the former Austrian and German
emperors In all their regalia. There
seems to be little .prejudice against
German and Austrian goods among
the peasants and village dwellers of
Serbia.

Only the commonplace does not

'The Unpardonable In," In book
form, had been selling by the thous
ands tor some time before the author
himself discovered (that It was being
discriminated against by the author
Hies of the New York 'Public library.
There authorities, with some hesita
tion, expressed the belief that the
subject matter of the story was not
calculated to proiote the' most
friendly feeling among the various
classes and nationalities living In the
community which they served.
This opinion, in letter form,
printed in the New York Times
aroused some of the biggest thinkers
in the United States, and their en
dorsements of the book compelled
the New York Public library to re
cede frem ts queer position. ,
The late ex-President Theodore
Roosevelt endorsed "The Unpardon
able Sin" In the following character
istic manner;
July 18, 1918.
"The Unpardonable Sin" Is a very,
very,strong atory. It teaches Just
the lesson our people should learn.
I am mighty glad Captain Hughes
wrote It, and I nope It will be most
widely read. . ' ,
