TURKEY
There is one country in
the world which has gain
ed more, and suffered less
thar* any other.
Turkey has advanced
economically, industrially,
and its government has
changed in relation to
Western civilization.
Labor has been given its
rights, worn on also haup
equal rights, and the fez
and veil have been dis
carded. • Turkish govern
ment officials and indus
trialists wear western
styles of clothing.
The people of the coun
try have suffered no in
conveniences because of
the World War, nor have
they lost any of their man
power or currency.
In fact, there has been
additional income and
prosperity because of ex
ports to warring nations.
Turkey is eying the tex
tile market lost by Japan,
and has sufficient export
comodity to more than

Turkey is the most eco

TALL TEXANS
LEAVE MARK
| IN ALASKA
'
1 TOZI CACHE. Alaska, Sept.
22.—Thotie Texans go everywhere
and every place they go they
leave their mark. Although the
Tanana and Yukon rivers are far
removed from the Rio Grande
there is evidence that GI’s from
the Lone Star state have passed
this way and paused awhile to
strum their guitars and sing the
songs of Texas. •
Nenana, Minto, Tanana, Tozi,
Galena—any of the villages along
the rivers possess their quota of
Native girls and you would nat
urally expect them to exhibit
some of the shyness that is tradi
tional with demure Indian maid
ens. But no! They greet GI’s with
a grin like a Texas possum.
“Hello!” you say, presuming
that they will respond with the
Indian salutation: “How!”
Not so! The universal response
to a soldier greeting is: “Wu
Hooooooo—San Antonef”
Your steamer passes a small
Native village and the entire
population turns out and waves
to the passengers. It is apparent,
from the greeting they shout, that
even small towns have not been
overlooked by the Texans.
You pass on and presently
come to a be nd in the river
miles from any village. A hand
some young squa w i3 tending her
fish wheel but upon sighting the
steamer she springs to her feet,
waving her arms frantically.
“Wu Kooooooo!” she howls,
brandishing aloft a fish. “Wu
Hooooooo—San An tone’”
P. T. BOATS HIT
AT VESSEL ON
WAY TO ISLAND
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS ON
iNEW GUINEA, Sept. 22.—(AP)
—P.-T. boats today smashed what
may have been an abortive at
tempt to reinforce the beseiged
Japanese garrison on Morotai
Island, while 215 tons of bombs
were unloaded on Halmahera.
P.-T. boats intercepted and j
, sank a 10,000 ton vessel, fully
loaded with troops, north of
Morotai Strait, and it is possible «
the vessel was enroute the 11
miles from Halmahera to Morc
tai, in a Japanese attempt to aid
Morotai from the formidable
Halmahera forces, by-passed by
MacArthur.
The enemy lost 17 planes, sev
eral fuel dumps, and three addi
tional coastal vessels.

Britain’s principal art organiza r
tion, was founded by King George
III in 1768.
