PARIS March 7. Fat men may be
popular but the fat lady Is always
awkward especially in these days of
straight slinky clothes.
The "Broom Handle Club'' is Paris'
latest way of showing its approval of

The "Broom-handles" in Paris num-

part are young and pretty. Very few

that when "Broom-handles" are mar-
ried they soon lose their slim lines
and are compelled to resign from the
club. One year of married life
changes the 130 pounds to 140.

TURK FREEDOM
TOWS OYKIi MOTHER'S GRAVE HI
WILL RESTORE INDEPENDENCE
TO TILE FATHERLAND.
CONSTAXTINE STEPHANOVE
International News Service Staff
Correspondent
SOFIA March 7. "Mother who
'gave me life and energy and will I
vow at your grave that I shall not
cease my efforts until our common
parent our dear fatherland Is com
pletely re-established as a free and
independent state." u
Mustapha Kemal Pasha hero of the
Turkish nation recently visited the
grave of his mother at Smyrna. Amid
a drastic silence his voice sobbing.
"Mustapha raised his hand and swore
this oath.
Today that oath has become a watch-
word throughout Turkey. It may be
regarded as the expression of a na-
tionalist spirit that has seized upon
the entire Turkish people and in it
may be found the explanation of Tur-
key's firm stand against the Allies in
the present Near East crisis.
Fearless Leader.
Interesting incidents in the life of
Mustapha Kemal Pasha are being re-
counted throughout the Near East
since his rise to power. Tales of his
fearlessness and his adamantine will
have spread through the Turkish na-
tion and have served greatly to en-
hance Kemal's prestige as the greatest
Angorite of the day.
It has been revealed that Kemal is
not a Turk at all but a Pomack which
means a Moslemized Bulgar. He is a
native of the small Macedonian town
of Prilep and was an officer In the
company of Macedonian revolution-
areis that brought about the fall of
Abdul Hamid. It was there that he
learned the military tactics that en-
abled him to lead the Turkish forces
victoriously against the Greeks.
Kemal's fearlessness and firmness
of purpose are illustrated by the story 1
of his defiance of the German Kaiser
when the exile at Doom was boastfully
proclaiming himself as the savior of
Turkey.
Defied German Power.
At a banquet given in honor of the
former Kaiser the German warlord
declared that under German generals
Turkey would be restored its lost
prestige. Kemal then a young lieu-
tenant despite the "knowledge that de-
fiance of the Kaiser might result In
his degradation dared the wrath of
the "All Highest" and replied:
"Turkey's regeneration is to be ef-
fected only by a son of that same Tur-
key and that man is I myself!"
His insolence cost him dear for the
Turkish army then was under control
of German officers. Kemal's military
geniust however could not go unrec-
ognized and he triumphed despite the
intrigue of his German superiors.
"Whether Kemal's boast that he
would restore the independence of
Turkey will be fulfilled and his oath
on the grave of his mother be sanc-
tified by accomplishment is still un-
certain. The qualities that inspired
the boast and the oath however have
made him the Idol of his followers and
have convinced large numbers of the
Turks that he is the nation's greatest
statesman organizer and general.

over the border. They are said to
haVc made a big profit through ex-
portation and smuggling and the sub-
sequent sale at bootleg prices.- The
bootleg curb yesterday quoted rye

FEUD WARFARE
ISREHEM
NEITHER SIDE WILL 'SQUEAL" TO
POLICE FOR. FEAR IT WILL
BE SILENCED.
By W. F. Sullivan
...International News Service Staff
Correspondent.
ST. LOUIS March 7. Gang war
fare raging Intermittently for the
last ten or more years between the
"Egan's Rats" and the followers of
Edward J. (Jelly Roll) Hogan which
has spilled a trail of blood leading
from the very heart of the city to the
haunts of both gangs is being reylv-
ed In St Louis.
This gang feud according to admis-
sions of the police themselves is al-
most Impossible fo stop because
neither side will "squeal" for fear the
squealer will be "silenced. A search
back through the pages of court rec-
ords shows that no convictions have
been secured 1n any of the murders.
Having this state of affairs to con-
tend with the police are making in-
vestigations now into the most recent
and probably the mo3t daring of the
killings laid to this scarlet feud.
Attorney Slain.
The latest victim attributed by po-
lice to the gang war is Attorney Jacob
H. Mackler who was slain in the
business section of the city early one
evening as he was driving his auto-
mobile along the street Crowds on
the street were suddenly thrown Into
fright by the rapid "barking" of' re-
volvers fired from another automo-
bile as it swept by Mackler's car.
Mackler sank from the wheel of his
car onder a shower of bullets four
of which entered his body. Fifteen
bullet holes were found in the ma
chine and it was considered a mir
acle that two friends who were rid-
ing with Mackler at the time escap-
ed death.
The slain attorney's connection with
the feud according to authorities
dates back a couple of years when
ho defended an! ex-chieftain of the
Hogan gang for the murder of Wil-
liam T. Egan former leader of the
"Egan's Rats" who was shot down
while standing in front of his saloon.
Shot From Auto.
It also developed since the killing
that Mackler is a cousin of Max Green-
burg who left the city at the time
Egan was killed. Shortly before
Egan was slain a man standing near
Greenburg was shot down when sev-
eral shots were fired from a passing
automobile in the downtown district.
The recent revival of the warfare
follows a "truce" of several months
supposed to have been arranged by
Rev. Father Timothy Dempsey pastor
of St Patrick's church. Father Demp-
sey announced that the gangsters had
through' his intercession agreed to set
aside- their guns forget their hatreds
and seek no further revenge.
The Mackler incident however
leaves grave doubt as to the future
feeling between the two sides.

HIS STATEMENT THAT ENTOX

(By International News Service.)
TOKJO March 7. Count Ucblda
Minister of Foreign Affairs has over-
shot his mark and has brought tha
critical eyes of the Washington State
Department down on Japan. The For-
eign Minister has just told an inter-
pellator in the House of Representa-
tives that the newly appointed Ambas-
sador to Washington Masanao Hanl-
hara has been instructed to reopen
the immigration question because o
the bearing the Supreme Court's rul-
ing in the Ozawa case has on that sub-
ject. This utterance was no more
than cabled to American than state-
ments of the surprise of hte State De-
partment came back.
Officials Disturbed.
Government officials became a bit
perturbed then and they freely ad-
mitted that the Foreign Minister had
been indiscreet in his efforts to satis-
fy his interpellator in the Diet Their
explanation seems to be authentic.
Mrs. Hanihara took from Japan no
concrete Instructions on the immigra-
tion question; he has not been In-
structed to reopen the negotiations
Upon his arrival at Washington as
Count Uchlda told the opposition ha
had. it was declared.
Nevertheless Ambassador HaJlhara
during his residence in Washington la
going to have the job of negotiating &
new agreement with the American
government which will replace the
now long pigeon-holed Morris-Sblde-hara
agreement Japan things how-
ever that the time Is not opportune
for advances on the immigration prob-
lem and. In fact the government may
decide to let the matter slide along as
it has the last two years in hope of
obtaining a more satisfactory treaty
two years hence when it believes
the Democratic party which sponsor-
ed the Morris-Shidehara concessions
may be returned to power.
3Tnst Be Settled.
Japan is right however say politi-
cal seers here in her assertions that
the immigration problem Is the only
remaining point of controversy be-
tween the two countries and that tho
sooner this question is settled the bet-
ter it will be for all concerned. Tha
United States must reach some agree-
ment with Japan before many years
have passed; her trade here would ba
helped Immediately If a liberal agree-
ment were concluded. When the tlma
comes both countries must make con-
cessions it is declared. No treaty
can satisfy all parties in both coun-
tries" and any agreement will be sub-
jected to a heavy fire of criticism.
