In reality it isa city of about 60,000, though thenatives claim 20,000 more, stoutlymaintaining that the census takersneglected to figure in the floatingpopulation. The U. S.

Nash, '15, Who has been in touchwith the professor since his depart­ure. The party reached Korea in themiddle of April, where much timewas lost by the necessity of waitingfor a Korean interpreter and the ill­ness of the Japanese interpreter andphotographer, .who was forced to un­dergo five medical injections beforeauthorities thought him capable ofwork. In spite of these delays, Prof.Starr writes on June 6, that 'the tripis in some ways the best he has everhad.While in Korea the Osaka "Osahi'used Prof. Starr's diary as a dailyspecial feature and the work occupiedthree columns in all of about eightynumbers.

Elkus, former American •ambassador to the court of Constan­tinople, who spoke yesterday after­noon in Mandel on "Turkey and theWar." Mr. Elkus is in Chicago. inthe Interest of Armenian and Syrianrelief."That far off land," he said, "is fullof contrasts. Constantinople is di­vided by the Bosphorus, the ancientHellespont. Over the narrow bridgethat connects the two banks streamthousands of people.

Then comes a Turkish prin­cess, perhaps, in a French automobile,and after her a shepherd lad with hissheep, dressed just as shepherds werethousands of years ago. Behind himcomes the immaculate diplomat inbroadcloth and beside him a moderntrolley car, then perhaps the oldcamel, ship of the desert, and a herdof buffaloes.Turkey Net Monarchy Now."Before 1908, Turkey was the abso­lute monarchy it is believed to be to­day. A revolution brought brilliantyoung men to the front .and substi­tuted a cabinet, a senate, and a popu­larly-elected chamber of deputies forthe old order •. Now four able menconduct the government. They. arefour members of the cabinet-s-thehead of the cabinet, the minister ofwar, the minister of finance and thegovernor-general, who. rules AsiaticTurkey with an iron hand."With such a government, such adistinction among peoples, dissensionis easily bred.. The troubles of theAmerican and Syrian Christiansbegan with the war. The belief spreadthat they were in league with Russiaand other Christian countries againstTurkey. The plan was to deport theChristians. What happened has oftenbeen told. It is a story of horror, des­elation,. of loot, robbery, murder,death. Between five thousand and amillion souls perished. Hundreds ofothers were taken from their homes,from where they might make-a living,and thrust hither and thither. It isalmost hopeless for most of them totry to keep soul and body together,They look to America not to supportthem but to give them a helping hand,to set them on their feet, where theycan help themselves. And" Americahas not failed and will not fail.Many American men and women re­fused to leave Turkey when diplo­matic relations were severed with theUnited States. They are there now,working tirelessly to bring relief tothe stricken Armenian and SyrianChristians."Pays Tribute to Americans.Mr. Elkus paid a high tribute tothe three American colleges ncar Con­stantinoplc, one of which is forwomen. He closed his address withvigorous statements much like thosemade by Theodore Roosevelt in Chi­cago recently, to the effect that dis­cussion of whether the United Statesshould have entered the war, now thatthe die has been -cast, must not beallowed.STUDENTS SELLING SUB -SCRIPTIONS FOR.
