Estimating th- population of the country at 0."i'V".m, it will b seen that practically one- person in 15 la a refupee.

Probably move than any other I art of Greek territory this island thows the ad effects of the advent ,f thee unin it-'.i and. it mast be ad mitted, .xeareely welcome. quests. .Still, they have to h) fed. and Mtty lene does its bet. The present war lias affected the trado of the island considerably, and with it tho :jpendini capacity of tho people, quite apart from the fact that the Etato funds !ind it difficult enough to provide this surplus popu lation with their fixed allowance of isht cents per head daily, with a cer tain reduction for each pers-on In the t ase of a family. When it is remembered that owins to heavy taxation this country Is very expensive to live in, it will be seen that much indeed 3 left to private harity. In Mitylene alone the normal population of 0,000 has been almost doubled by tho arrival of theso rag ged peasant;-, and there arc about 7000 more in tho rest of the island, the inhabitants of the whole of Les bos numbering some 110,000 in ordi nary times. home of these people, with a cer tain poetic Justice, arc quartered In tho houses vacated by Turks who iave returned to the country of their origin durinir the last few troubled cars, but these houses are quite in adequate, and in many cases 10 peo ple are crowded in one room. IJcprsrnrs Tl irons Streets. In all parts of the interior of Asia iMinor and the clearly visible coast lino opposite they have voyaged to these islands and the mainland of Greece for months past. Besgars ihronpr tho streets, no more road making or other manual work being iivailable, and send their children in to tho poor eating: houses and inns of t he place. Along1 tho country roads they f dream, dependent largely on the generosity of tho par-wr-by, and rest 3ns now and then under tho olive proves of tho island, "whero burning Kipho loved and sans.' In tho Turkish town of. Alvaly there ttro still about 20,000 Christians. Tho I'urks s-ccm to bo tryins to starvo them out by preventing the food bo 5ns sent to them. Nobody can leavo tho town to look after property on I ho outskirts w ithout grave danger of Jjeing killed. A curious and In many respects typical rcf usee's ntory Is that of Oliver Clarke, who readied hero a Xew -weeks ago. Clarke, born In Smyrna, is of Knglish parentage, and a Urltlsh subject, but nobody r;ho paw tho bearded, half-broken man who returned to his wifo and three daughters after months of absence Would have taken him for anything hut a Turk. Indeed, it was merely n nccount of his oriental dress and knowledge of Turkish that Clark o was suffered to exist on a beggarly w-ago at Persamos the only Chris lion for miles around. lie is a black smith by trade, and. doubtless, proved aiseful to his masters in the stato of 5rnctical slavery to which ho was subjected. Story is Confirmed. Tho story ho gave me is vouched :for by M. Kliopoulos, formerly Brit ish Mco consul at Aivaly, himself a refugee, who has the cause of his compatriots much nt heart. Clarko was sent to Pergamos. in a cart, together with a Frenchman and Oils mother. They were escorted by tho sovernor of Dikely and gen klarmos. Tho latter robbed Clarke, nnd tho governor relieved him of his cigaret lighter, remarking that it was "'too rood for a gendarme." On arrival at Perames the governor of that place demanded that tho Trench lady should sell all she p(s Fcssod to pay all debts which he in dented for tho purpose, before she and her son would be allowed to go. "Finally, the couple were permitted to lewo for Smyrna. aXter the lady had old her valuable olivo crops for $125. Clarke was brought back to likely. where he continued to drudce for a pitMnco . Eventually he es caped to Smyrna, wearing his fez. Onlv h!s Turkish disguise, which had enabled him to livo thero many months, provided him with a means f escape. ENTERS CLAIM AGAINST COUNTY FOR ROYALTIES J4lwin Tliatcher lMles Hill for 5S, .".".. 7,",, Alleging Infringement of Patent I 'or Bridges. A bill for JS.SSS.T.!. for royalties and int r st. was filed with the county commissioners Thtir.-l.M :iftermon Tor Edwin Th itcher of New York n!at on th sio'.nui.- that the money is due through the infringement of a patent by the county. It is alleged that in tin ennstruetion of the, Ligaxi Ft. bridge at Mishawaka and ef the X Michigan st. bridgo in this city the county used, without a license, a de '.n for the omstrrictlon of rein forced concrete lridce which had been inented by Thatcher.

Mr. U rooks selected a p'.av for his five stars, which has been tried and found to bo tremendously gxod in performance and which for many rears has been a standby f,,r ceveral stars, notably the late Stuart Robson. who created the role of Pcrtio the Ttmb. and who when he closed his co-star association with William H. Crane, took tho play for his share of tho partnership effects. Now it is revived modernized and brought up-to-date by Winchell Smith and Vic tor Mapes and called "The New Hen rietta", with Mr. Crane in his original part of old Nick. Associated with him we find Thomas w. Itoss play ing Hertio the Lamb, a capital licht comedy role; Maclyn Arbuckle as the speculating parson; Amelia Bingham in the role of the brilliant and dash ing Mrs. Opdyke, the dainty Mabel Taliaferro as the charming and de lightful Agnes. When Mr. Brooks revived "Tho New Henrietta" at New York, it ran for 16 weeks at the Knickerbocker theater there and more recently, it has enjoyed a run of 14 weeks at the Cort theater in Chicago, whero its tmccess was so great, the engagement was extended from its original month week bv week, until the incoming at tractions could no longer be put off. The engagement of "Tho New Hen rietta" here with its five stars is even more than an event. It is the most important attraction of the year and all our theatergoers should take ad vantage of the opportunity to see a splendid play splendidly acted. AT THE COLONIAL. The Colonial shows today a four act feature, "The Lost House". It is a fine picture based on one of Rich ard Harding Davis novels and fea tures Lillian Olsh ard Wallace Reid. The story contains all the elements of romance and adventure that could be desired. A young and beautiful heiress is imprisoned by a medical fakir. Tho police raid tho house, there is a terrific bxttle. the j-oung reporter starts to save tho fnrl, firo breaks out and thrilling rescue con cludes the romance. on the same bill a Thanhouser dr.ima, "Reforma tion", and a comedy, "A Wife Want ed", are shown. at Tin: ia.ij:stic.

Saturday brings "The Closing of the Circuit." a beautiful two part Vitagraph with Paul Kelley, Harry Davenport, Ned Finley and Mrs. Maurice. Brought up by his father in total ignorance of his blindness and tho fact that other peoplo can see with their eyes, while he sees only with his ten fingers and that wonderful Inner consciousness of the nearness of objects which th blind possess, Paul's awakening to tho knowledge of his Infirmity causes him the. keener anguish, but by a flash of lightning his sight is restored to him after he has passed through many exciting and thrilling experi ences. "The Silver Cup," the third of "The Road O' Strife" series; the Sclig weekly of current news; "A Race for a Crossing." with Helen Holmes, and "Sonny Jim and the Valentine", featuring little Bobby Connelly, are also on the bill.

Agnes Cain Brown has lio ono woman's role. Sho looks the tart of tho sweet western girl, sings admirably and was with Mr. Girard hero In tho oiiinaI company.

LcRoy and Cahill sing popular pongs that are familiar but they sing them well. A special drop adds to their opening. Bertie Ford cavorts cunningly on a high wire. Alice Teddy is known here and is a well behaved bear who skates on rollers and wrestles amusingly. Altogether It is a good live act bill. AT THE LASALLE. Victor Moore occupies the screen at tho Lasalle in a modern comedy of society life entitled "Snobs". Mooro has been featured with several big Broadway shows, is a clever co median and has a sunny personality that makes his audiences feel good natured. The play is a farce of the lighter vein. A milkman Imperson ates a foreign duke, breaks into so ciety, captivates an heiress, is discov ered and thrown out but tho girl sticks to him. Amusing and harmless foolery throughout. Two other pic tures, "The Fear Within" and "The Cure of tho Mountains", eomplcto the bill. On Saturday the Ixisalle presents Mary Pickford, the idol of the screen, in a novel and beautiful film version of tho age-old story, "Cinderella", a Famous Players-Paramount feature in four parts. This tender story, which gives screen immortality to a talo already inscribed on the hearts of all the children of all time, again proves that Mary Pickford is unriv alled in versatility and artistic charm as an impersonator of screen char acterizations. The Paramount travel pictures are also shown on Saturday and in the morning children will be especially looked after following the wishes of the amusement board and club wom en of tho city who feel that the little ones should be allowed to attend mo tion pictures when suitable programs are. provided.
