IMPROVED ? SITUATION " IN NEAR EAST Kemal Pasha, Leader of Turks Shows More Reasonable Attitude by Accept ance of Allied Terms. London. Oct. i (By the. Asso ciated Press).?With the virtual acceptance by Mustapha Kemal Pasha of a conference at Mudania Tuesday or as soon as possible thereafter, the whole Near Eastern situation is considered temporarily easier. However, the fact that Turkish troops are still concentrat ing in the Ismid zone, notwith standing that they have retired slightly in the Chanak zone, would indicate, according to remarks made after the British cabinet's second meeting today, that "Kemal is still playing a game." , While the cabinet members ap pear to be much gratified at the happy conclusion for the moment of a difficulty which might have necessitated the use of force in the Chanak zone, there are other bridges to cross. Up to the pres ent there is no information from General Harington. the British com mander at Constantinople, that Keraal will attend the Mudania conference, although General Har- j I ington's ^dispatches indicate he might. ? j After special cabinet meetings; Saturday," one of them running j into 1 o'clock Sunday morning, j information from the Near East j was considered not altogether satis- I factory and two additional meet- ! ings were held today. It is pos sible others will be held Monday, though Premier Lloyd George j went to Chequers Court, his sum- j mer residence, late this afternoon. | The Mudanht meeting will be a I purely military" affair to arrange, J according to the original allied rote to Keraal Pasha that the neutral zone shall be respected j and also to agree upon lines be hind which the Greeks are to'with-, draw in Thrace, both points pend ing the general peace conference. There' will be present militarv representatives, of the three alliec powers as well of Greek and Turk ey." : ' " - ? . It" Is pointed out that the very basis of this conference is re'spect for the neutral zone and before it! begins the Turks will be. expected to- evacuate the Chanak area en tirely- On this point there has been quibbling until the British cabinet permitted General Haring ton to send a virtual ultimatum to the Turks to clear it. Although the T?rks have not yet withdrawn completely, they have evacuated the heights of Ereh Keui and have desisted also from parading befGre the British wire < entanglements. If the Turks around Ismid com mence such actions or attempt to enter the neutral zone at that point, there is likelihood that the j British will raise the question be- \ ipre entering the conference. It is known that while General Haring- * ton is making every effort to main- \ tain peace, he is a most exacting i and determined person when given ; cause. Another question which may i arise within the conference is the form of government or control to be. established in Thrace pending the terms of peace. It is certain that the Turks will demand that they be permitted to take over and occupy. Thrace immediately to pro . tect their nationa Is,. keep order and prevent confusion and crime with the withdrawal of the Greeks. It . is suggested that allied officials and : troops might be used for this pur- ] pev*e. Under these heads the confer ence promises many disputes. In some diplomatic circles there is a certain optimism? over the situa tion, it being pointed out that the j Turks are "too wise to fight" when I they know that they risk all by sue ha couse, whereas they arej assured of many advantages before the peace conference opens. The Turks evidently have made a concession with regard to the time limit set for the embarkation of refugees at Smyrna, which ex pired Saturday. They did not of ficially extend the limit, but they are permitting, without molesta tion, the vessels now in Smyrna j harbor to take the refugees aboard, j and many are being evacuated un- ! der the American and British flags. ! ft is said that so far 170.000 have j Keen embarked, but nearly as many more are still awaiting re lief. The )?resence in London of tho | former Greek premier. Venizelos. i continues to occupy attention. He called oftleially^ at the foreign of fice this morning, but did not see Lord Curzon nor Premier Lloyd George at No. 10 Downing street. It is explained that his visits might he misinterpreted. However, there is no doubt that he intends to act abroad for Greece and that he wir attempt to secure a favorable set tlement from a Greek viewpoint of Thrace and other questions. Veni zelos is .-ilent on the advisability oi action by the new Creek cabi net toward the reorganization of j the army and fj(e defense ot \ Thrace. Jack will take an American i queen.

Can you imagine long skirts and t flapping galoshes? 1 A Protective'Tariff I Means Agricultural as Well as Industrial Progress (Manufacturers Record) Writing for a syndicate of South ern papers, Savoyard, a well-known Washington correspondent, in bit terly denouncing the protective tariff Avhich was then under discus sion, said: "The 40n democratic editors and 4.000 hankers of the South who [signed the plea for protection that I Senator flooding flung in the United States Senate no doubt are i patriotic men wno love <he South I as devotedly as I. or anybody else, but they are grievously mistaken. The South is a" farm. The North, past of the Mississippi River, is a factory. It is impossible to pro tect the farm in the same degree that the tariff protects the factory." This is a theory which has cursed the South for the last fifty years. ?People who argue from this point of view have very little under standing or comprehension of the magnitude . of the industrial inter ests of the South, or of the South's industrial possibilities. In 1920 the total value of the manufacturing and mining pro ducts of the South amounted to $10,933,000,000, while the total value of farm products, including all crops a.nd live, stock (and this, too, at a. time when cotton was commanding such a high figure), amounted to $9,365,000,000. Thus in that, year the value of manu factured and mining products ex ceeded by $1,500,000,000 the total value of all. farm products. ?. ? ' But ignoring entirelyxwna^ ?a& been accomplished in the develop ment of manufacturing, it should be remembered that this section is the most richly endowed region on the face of the earth for the de velopment of manufacturing ; and mining. Great as are its advan tages for agriculture, they do not match in importance the boundless resources possessed by the -South for manufacturing and mining. By his very argument that protection does develop and protect the fac tory Savoyard should have point ed out that with its enormous re sources of minerals and timbers and water powers the South ought to favor a protective tariff in of der to utilize to the fullest extent these great resources if or the em ployment of-people and the cre ation of wealth. >' ? .. The mere: fact that the.coal area of; the South is five times-as. great as-the coal area of-all -Europe, ex cluding Russia, and twice, as much even - when. Russia is included^ is merely - a hint - of :the jKmitless?jre sources of this region. ::lts enor mous production of oil and gas and the: vase stares yet, untouched; its production :<of- 9ft per cent >of? the sulphur of the entire country and about 75 per cent of the world's sulphur output; its cotton manu facturing interests in this section now-: consuming- in its own mills far more than the toted consump tion of alt other mills in the United States, are but hints of the' limit less future that awaits this region for manufacturing.- - And in addi tion to these facts there-should be borne in. mind that no country.can ?be permanently -prosperous, based simply on agriculture. . There ;must be- a diversification of industry in order to furnish a local market for the products of the farm. The building of Southern cotton* mills has enormously enhanced the importance of the local market for cotton and the products of diversi-; lied agriculture for feeding the mill employes. Birmingham and At lanta and Spartanburg and Char-! lotte and Anniston and every other; industrial city create markets for diversified farm products. With out diversification of agriculture! the South would continue in the poverty which has ruled among the cotton growers for many years.' This- section cannot possibly thrive | on cotton alone. It must diversify I its agriculture, and this ig not pos- j sible except to a limited extent uh- ! less there is a home market for .its diversified products. This situation is strikingly il lustrated in the condition prevail ing in Pennsylvania. A few weeks ago the writer motored through a considerable stretch of Pennsyl- ' vajfria, including that wonderful'in-{ custrial region from Reading on j tnrough Lebanon. Harrisburg and j other industrial towns. He stop- j ped one day to make a study of a j superb peach orchard producing j the finest peaches he had ever seen, j Inquiry of the manager developed ! the fact that the crop this year j was about 13.000 baskets and not a j single basket had to be shipped by i the grower. The buyers in the lo- j cal industrial towns sent tlu'ir own} trucks by the dozens to this great orchard, where all the fruit was sorted as to sizes by an automatic i machine, and bought as rapidly as! it could be gathered. The local 1 markets of Reading, Lebanon, Lan- j caster. York and other towns take j every basket of fruit that that great j orchard, and many others, can pro-i duce. The factories in these towns are the salvation of the farming" interests. They have made farm- j ing prosperous, and it is difficult j to conceive of a richer looking agri- j cultural region than in that section \ where every product of the farm} can find a local market. Rich j farms, fine farm houses and noi huts and no evidence of poverty! dominate the whole region, bceause} firm and factory form a happy) combination for the prosperity of all. i Until the South utilizes, to a! larger extent than it has ever yet! done, its boundless opportunities j f??i mining and manufacturing, its' agricultural interests cannot pros per as they should do. Even view ed from this standpoint the farm ers of the South need a protective tariff to a gre&ter extent than do (he manufacturers themselves. Every factory built means an en- j L?pged market for the diversified products of the Southern farms.; Every new mine opened, every Kater power developed, simply xncans an cniargemant of the mar- j i ket for farm products, but until] I the South, under ihe beneficent; ! influence of a protective tariff, has j brought about an industrial de-1 j velopment matching that of renn-! isylvania and other Eastern and; jsome "Western state?, it cannot1; I reach its highest agricultural pros-1 > perity, because it cannot develop: jto the fullest extent diversified! ' farming. In the one crop system of cot-; i ton there is poverty, even under i ; the best conditions. Under diver- ; Isified agriculture, feasible onlyj j v-hen there are local markets cre i ated by industrial communities, alone can be found general pros-! ! perity for "the farmers. There-! ; fore, even if there were no protec- j j tton in the new tariff for Southern I j agriculture?and fortunately there ! ! is to greater extent than ever before j j a protection Tor agricultural inter- i i ests?there would be a vast "benefit j i to agriculture through the larger i j development of industrial com-1 I munities. The old doctrine that the South j I must be for free trade because of j i the alleged claim that it is an! j agricultural community has been] I the curse of this section, and has I held it back from the full utiliza tion which will now come about1 to ja larger extent than ever before, j of its boundless material resources i for mines and for factories. How Thanksgiving Originated. .The Feast of Tabernacles, which! in Hebrew means the title Succoth. j meaning booths, will be observed in the synagogues Friday evening, j October 6th and on Saturday, Oc Jfpber 7th;' also on October 14th, j the latter 'day being known as the j Feast of Conclusion or Sh'mini J Atzereth. Religious services are ! : held on the first and last days in I ! Reform Congregations while ; [Orthodox congregations observe Ithe first two days and the last ; two days as a holy convocation. I The intervening days of the fes ] tive cycle are semi-religious and jare so observed among the ortho j dox. j Succoth is of'particular interest j j to the American people since it is j one of those Old Testament festi-1 I vals which have been bodily incor- I j poraied into our national life. Our! Thanksgiving Day was appropriat-1 ! ed from the institution of the I ; Feast of Tabernacles. In light of Its Biblical origin j j Succoth reflects the agricultural I environment and atmosphere of the! i feast. It is known in Scripture as' ! the .' Feast, of Ingathering (ExodusI ?23:16) and refers to that ' erai ! when the' Israelitish farmer gath- j j ered in the fruit of his "autum n the j ! children' of Israel flocked to the j central sanctuary- in solemn pro I cession, carrying palms and plant:-?, j Hence this is also called a Pil ? grimage Feast.! ; In the Priestly Code drawn up j after the . Babylonian Exile the ; Feast of Ingathering was connect I ed with the. Exodus from Egypt, j due to the fact that the. town-of ! Succoth was made the rallying j point of the fugitive Hebrews on j their departure, from .Egypt, as ! some Biblical commentators .claim, \ j while others trace it to the many j ! tents erected by the people of j I Israel in their wanderings through j j the wilderness. j After the "disruption of the Com-: j m?nwealth of Israel the festival re- j j t?ined . the aspects of a harvest | I feast arid so it Is regarded in mod jern times. The observance of this! ' day is retained i n order that! \ among all peoples there may be ] rejoicing for the blessings which ' the earth has yielded in full meas I ure. A firm reliance on God's help [enables men and women to banish from their hearts all anxiety for I their sustenance in days to come, j In the liturgy of the Succoth [service the worshipper is impress-! fed with the exalted confidence "that; ! Goc\ has given His rich bounties j ? unto the sons of man that allj j might. partake of them in joy. This i [confidence upsets the gloomy dog-i I ma that the earth is merely a vale j ' of tears, the dismal abode of sor- j 'rowing humanity. In the same j connection the dignity of labor j i and human effort is set forth in; I all sublimity. But even as the j I tiniest seed grows and 'sprouts into ? I a thousand-fold blessing, so it is) ' willed by the same universal law. that none shall receive the gifts of; j the Author of life without effort. The bread which sustains man inj ! life is rendered honorable and isj doubly blessed by "the toil and ef- j fort put forth by him who eats] ! it. The fruitfulness of the soil and j earth's bounties are the gifts of the! great Giver who opens His hand and satisfieth the wants of every ( living creature. During this period the syna gogues are as a rule festooned with fruits- and vegetables. Sev eral congregations^ erect booths in j the assembly room of the religious school to illustrate the ceremonial J of ancient days and to express i gratitude for benefits and bless-! ings obtained from the Giver of j all. In many religious schools j harvest pageants are enacted. With growing appreciation of the nobil-j ity of labor and the essential value!: Of farming as the primary pur- j suit of'the human race the Feast*] of Succoth is obtaining a new j lease of recognition and wider ob- ; servance particularly in our own | beloved countrv. - N John Reyder, NVw York opllce-; man. shot a robber.

The bill is no* Automobile Industry Has Far Out- j stripped Iron and Steel. ?I - i Analvsis of information secured J through governmental sources dis- j closes that the automobile industry i is the largest manufacturing enter- ' prise in the world. ?rnirty_v.cars ago, Bryce in his classic treatise on the American Commonwealth referred to Ameri ca's great railway system as the means-of communication that held this country together and rendered it one for all social, political and commercial purposes. "During the past decade," says the October issue of the Auto mobile Trade Journal, "another great advance, in inter-communi-; cation has been made. The auto mobile marks the most successful attempt to provide "individual transportation' since the first cave man harnessed i he progenitor of the modern horse and thereby sup plied himself ,. with a means of travel afield." The tremendous growth of the automobile industry in recent years is due solely to the fact that it has supplied a public need. The value of' the 1922 automo tive output will be approximately as follows: Automobiles.. __$ls3.->0.000.0ou Tires_ 675,000.000 Replacement parts _ 530,000,000 Accessories '__ ._ 150,000,000 ? ... . . Total _. -_ $2,72-5,000,000 This total is 33 per cent greater than the value of the output in the second largest industry, the re fining of petroleum (65 per cent of which is used by automobiles), 65 per cent greater than the value of the iron and steel output, and more than twice the value pt all cotton goods produced in the textile mills of the country. The automobile business is the, most essential of our mahufae tring industries, because it direct- j ly affects a greater number of what \ might be termed "basic" industries, than does any other manufaotur- i ing enterprise.

Abou: 3S j per cent of this total, or l$0.000 bales, will he used in the manu facture of automobile tires. Any weakness in the market for automotive products will be immo diatley reflected in the business of all of those industries which tie pond wholly or i:i part on the au tomobile business for a market. With its various subsidiary lines the automobil?' business inihienoesl the industrial labor market to a' more pronounced extent than docSJ any other great industry.
