Great Britain's hostile -attitude toward Mustapha'Kemal, the Turkish Nationalist leader, is costing British commercial inter ests a lot of monev. "The net effect of the unfriend ly attitude of mv country to ward the Turks," General Town shend declares, "is that all the business is being acquired by America France and Italy! While Great Britain is support ing the Greeks, the America -is have established a Consulate ;ir Angora, and the French and Port oi 3iersma.

"The Turks have been fighting for 11 years now, and that has resulted in a high state of effi ciency among the officers. The'r high command is good enough for any army in Europe.

AMERICAN TRAFFIC REGULATION PRAISED IN ENGLAND (By Associated Press) London, Sept. 2 American visitors to London, especially prominent ones, are inclined to say pleasant things to their hosts, and Englishmen are not disin clined to listen. The latest ex ample of this was given by Gov ernor Cox, of Ohio, who is quot ed by the Daily Mail some very pleasing things about! juuuuon as a city. But would it not be better all around, asks the Daily Chronicle, if they would give us some con structive criticism? Lamenting .the frequency; of accidents on London streets this paper savs: ''Why doesn't London Jmitate New York, which now leads the world in traffic regulations? Ic is perhaps too much to hope for the system of signal-bores, sema phores and colored lights that make Fifth Avenue a model of safety and efioient traffic regu lation. But at least Ave could follow New Yrork's example in forbidding pedestrians to cross the roadway at dangerous cross ings until the point policeman has arranged a fairway and giveu permission to cross. This rule it so strictly carried out that even the Newr York messenger boy does not infringe it. Another rule that is univer sal in America and Canada com pels all motor traffic to stop dead until a tramcar has discharged and taken up its passengers and started off" again. Why this rule is not adopted in England it is impossible to imagine," i 'It is nice to have Americans come here and throw lovely bou quets at us," said an English writ 2i "but I think they would do us more good if they occas ionally told us point bla'nk of some of the things they find wrong with us. This mutual ad miration busin ess that goes on now is not good for either of us." AUSTRALIA'S IMPRESSION OF AMERICAN HOTEL (By Associated Press) ' ( Sydney, N. S.

MOVING PICTURES FIRST PRESENTED 2,200 YEARS AGO (By xssociated Press) London, Sept 26. The earliest idea ot a moving picture was recorded in the time of Confu cious. the Chinese philosopher who lived 500 years before Christ. At least this is the deduction drawn from his studies into the known figure in the English 'filu ut world, who has exhibited in Lou don a collection of relics and machines tracing the growth of the moving picture " from the first primitive idea to its pres ent form. The "shadow shows" of the time of Confucius are the first of all known endeavors to pre sent animated pictures.
