SUGGEST BOARD ORDER Railroads Would Require all Cars Owned by Western Roads to be Returned by Roads Using Them. Lincoln. The conclusion by the rail, tvay commission, nftor hourlng test, iiuoiiy of railroad ofllcials, is that no rope of relief from the shortage ol jruin cars can bo expected unless rook way Is found to force back curs froir Hie southern nnd eastern roads. Houdt In those regions have more cars on H'.ier Hues than they own. Those extn.' rnrs are owned by wostem roads. The order of the American rnllwny nssocla llonfor the return of ours to the wes' has brought no real relief. Thejium her of cars delivered from the 'south and oast to tho west was so small, com pared with the demand, that no relief was given. The railroad oflklaH sug' posted nn order from the Interstntt commerce cdnimlHslon for tho immedl ito return of cars belonging to west. em roads. Germany Needs American Grain. Paris. (lermnny must Hud souk way of getting 800 billion marks worth of grain to feed her people during tho nost year, tho reparations commission learned In lLs Investigation In Herlln. As this amount Is about double the present total of paper money In circu lation In (Sermany, purchase of the grain Is deemed Impossible except through speedy financial rehabilitation of the country or food credits from abroad. It seems to be generally taken for granted that both the credits and tho food would huvu to come from America. The 800,000,000,000 mnrks repre sents Cermany's Import, require ments for the next twelve months of 2.000,000 tons of grain, the minimum amount thought necessary to prevent sturvation. 'Any nttonipt to buy this cereal In a foreign market would, lu the opinion of experts, cause a com plete collapse of the mark, with n serious reaction In the exchanges of other European countries.

She was vi years oiu. and Ismid Chnnak, on tho (Prepr.red by th National CleoRraphlo So ciety. Washington. D. C.) Three towns of Asia Minor, seldom heurd of In ordlnnry times, have' stood out In the world news of recent weeks Clianak, Mutlanhi and Ismid. Mere villages normally, each has had sud denly poured Into It soldiers or celebri ties, and bus taken on, briefly at least, Importance greater Uinn that of many A metropolis. Chanak, the stifutefflc point on the Aslutic side of the Dardanelles, which figured for weeks as u sort of threat ened Rrltlsh Thermopylae, Illustrates how translatlvn may spoil romance. The mime means "pots" scullery ware. Rut though It has a hum-drum nnme, Clianak or Telinnak-luilesst and Its neighborhood have more than once been the stngo for acts which have radically modeled the world's his tory nnd even tho world'a literature. Rarely twenty miles to tho south rose Troy, ito furnish Inspiration alike to Homer nnd his myriad of readers. Within n stone's throw of Chnnnk, Xerxes In -ISO IJ. C. led his thousands of Persians across the Dardanelles on a bridge of bonts In the first formidable expedition of Asiatics Into Europe which history records. At the samo spot n century nnd n half later Alex ander led his Hmnlter but more highly trained army Into Asia on his trium phal conquest of the world. It was from Clianak In 13H3 that tho Turks crossed to their first foothold In Europe a crossing that gave Europe n problem that has bred wars and uiussncrcs and broken trestles for more than flvo hundred years. Tho Sea of Marmorn Into which the Dardanelles nnd tho Rosporous widen forms a harrier between Asia nnd Eu rope. Tho roads between the two con tinents He across the two straits at Its ends. Constantinople at the nar rowest point of the Rosporous. Is the front door; Chnnnk, where tho Darda nelles Is most conptrlctcd, Is the hnck door. It Is nntural enough, perhnps, thnt almost nil of tho historic Inva sions of Europe from tho East Bhould hnve been Jy tho hnck wny, and that there ngaln totlny Grent Rrltnln should have made an Important stand. Cnstlo nfter castle, each fortified, comes Into view on both tho Asiatic nnd the European sides of tho Darda nelles its one steams from tho Aegcnn toward Constantinople. Rut tho narrows opposite Chnnnk are re served for tho castles of castles; tho castle of A'sla on the right, tlie cnstlo of Europo on the loft. The Channk fortifications were first constructed In 1470, not long nftor Constantinople fell to the Turks. Ever since Chnnnk has heen a place of Importance. In recent deendes It hns heen tho point of admin istration f)1" ' Jb njirOe.iv!lec v'.o '.V;ises tlio solar plexus of the outer straits. German nrtlllcry exports re Bided thero during tho World wnr nnd modernized tho fortifications. Mudanla Something ot a Seaport. While Chnnnk Is n channel port, Mudnnln, sceno of the Near East mil itary parley, Is a full-fledged seaport on paper nt IensL It Is, however, on what Is now the quiet little Sou of Marmora, though It was onco tho cen tral body of water of tho civilized world. Inconspicuous ns it Is, Mu danla, scene of tho Near East pence parley, was far from being unfrequent ed before tho World wnr began. In thoso days Its visitors went through Mudanla on tho bout-nnd-rnll trip from Constantinople to Rrusa. Tho Turks probably chose Rrusn's port for their conference with nllled representatives because Mudnnln Is the nearest town, In the neutral zono of tha Straits ter ritory, to this their chief Asia Minor city, which lies just acrosa tho lino whero tho Turk rule Is absolute. When tho Marmora was yet an In land Turkish sea tho boat from Con stantinople to Mudanla was apt to bo into and crowded, and many travelers complnlncd of potty exactions from porters nnd customs olllclnls. Petty annoyances, though, cannot wholly mnr n trip across tho Marmorn, nnd tho western traveler who vlows tho Asiatic coast line of this placid lnko for tho first time has n sight of raro beauty and probably n surprise. Capes nnd Islands, bnyn and forested shores, mnko tho nppronch to almost any point between Chnnnk nnd Ismid a scene of benuty. And tho mid-city of tho South Marmora ahoro, Mudnnln, Is no exception. 7' o , ' -... . Dardanelles. Upon landing, tho Illusion of a quaint nnd pretty town, nestling among hlllsldo panels of olive groves, mulberry trees and vineyards, is dis pelled. After one look nt tho ditches that do for streets, the passenger usu ally was willing to take tho earliest conveyance for Rrusa, some fifteen m'.es to tho southeast. This railway, built In the early nine ties, used to be cited ns an example of tho Turk's Inaptitude for engineering projects. After the lino was built at extrnvngnnt cost the Turkish govern ment bought locomotives not adapted to tho tracks and grades, nnd locked them up for some yenrs wiille the new Inld rails rusted, nnd the wagon road to Rrusn was in almost Impassable condition. If tho rnllwny ran beyond Rrusn, Mudanla might enjoy greater prosper ity, ns tho port of one ot the richest agricultural regions of Asia Minor. In stead Pttiidermn, to tho west, as the terminus of the railroad to Smyrna, completely eclipses Mudnnln, with only Its short line to Rrusn. , Counting some four thousand Crooks, Mudnnln's nor mal population wns only six thousand. The Crooks, of course, hnve departed, but ninny Turks have clustered there In recent months. Ismid Rich In History. Ismid, ut the northeastern corner ot tho Sea of Marmora and nt the base of the peninsula that extends to the Bos porus, Is the point nt which Ute Turk ish nationalists made one of their heaviest troop concentrations In the latter .days of tho Mudanla parley. Ismid's once Important harbor Is now silted nnd Its population is barely twenty thousand. Rut before Constan tinople was enlnrged by Constuntlne the Great, Ismid, then Nlcomedln, was for n time the capital of the Roman empire and the metropolis of tho Near East. Situated nt the head of the Gulf ot Ismid, which forms the sharp Asiatic end of the Sen of Marmora, und with high ground behind It, the town lay in tho route of tho natural highway from Syria, Persia, Mesopotamia and tho entire Near East to tho Bosporus and Europe. In tho old days camel cara vans Innumerable currying the riches of the East plodded around the end of tho gulf, paused to pay commercial tribute to the strategically situated city, and continued west along the low coast of the gulf for the fifty miles that separated Nlcomedln from Ryzan tlum and now separate Ismid from Constantinople. And when the steel highway and iron horse that were to connect Rcrlln nnd Ragdnd eunx to re place the more plctiiwjj, i)Ut less ellicicnt camel and ms dusty rout), tho Huow natural path wns utilized and Ismid became a rallv ay station. Darius and his hosts swarmed through the site of the present Ismid, five hundred yeurs before Christ, to bridge tho Rosporus and conquer Thrnco and Macedonia. Xenophon and his ten thousand Greeks passed through tho place In Uiclr memorable retreat from Pcrsln to their homes. Ncnr there the defeated Hannibal, a rcfugoo from the Romans, committed suicide; nnd in a villa closo by Con stantino the Great died. Force after force of Crusaders held the town dur ing tho Middle ages. From Nlcomedln Diocletian direct ed, his Implacable campaign of perse cution ngalnst tho Christians and later tho first Christian emperor, Constan tino, govorned from Its paluces. Rare ly twenty miles to tho south nt Nicea the church council framed the Nlceno creed; and only n short distance to tho west on tho Ismid peninsula In 451 A. D. wns held tho ecclesiastical as sembly from which the Armcnlnns bolted to form the sepnrnto Armenian church, which, with the Roninn Cath olic and the Protestnnt churches helps mnko up the four major divisions ot Christianity. Tho Ismid of today hns little to re mind tho observer of lta glorious his tory. An old Greek acropolis flanked by Roman nnd Ryznntlno towers Is about the only remaining link with Its opulent past. The Iron-nnd-wood car avans of tho Ragdad railway do not need to pause In Ismid ns did tho camel trains, nnd Its toll from commcrco has dwindled nwny. To It tho world no longor looks cither for creeds or tho tronsures of Arnby only f6r n modest supply of silk cocoons, tobacco, nnd forest products. AMERICAN i Con I . ... in auiDllsd by th Amnrlmn Legion New Servlcn. ) TO FIGHT FOR WORLD PEACE Interallied Veterans' Association Asks Assistance From Ex-Servlce Men in All Countries. Recommending the establishment of an International court followed by uni versal disarma ment, Uiu Inter allied Veterans' association at Its convention In New Orleans bus called upon ex-service men In all allied countlres to tako up the fight for world peace. Charles Rertrnnd, n member of the French Chamber of Deputies, was re-elected presi Chas. Bertrand. dent of the organization. Another prominent delegate was .Tnllon David, a member of the Relglnn chnmbor of deputies one of the few men to bo captured by the Germans who escaped and returned to their old regiments. Ezlo Gloja, head of tho Italian delegation, was wounded four times with the loss of one leg. Sessions of the convention were at tended by twenty-eight representa tives from the following powers: United States, represented by five members of the Amerlcnn Legion; J Great Rrltnln, France, Italy, , Rclgtuni, Rumania, Czecho slovakia and Sor bin. A manifesto Is sued by the con- gj ventlon delegates embodies the Ezlo Gloja. hopes for international amity. "It 6cems providential," the statement, in part, declares, "that we, representing fifteen million former service men should be assembled at tho very hour when the distracted world most needs a unifying word. The burden of our duty to speak our deepest convictions to governments nnd tho public rests heavily upon us. Surely the voice of the men who stood shoulder to shoulder In the trenches to save civil ization, and who know tic hearts of the allied armies, should bo heard equally with the utterances of pro fessional statesmen and oflico holders. "From this International reunion of nllled wnr veterans, we send to our comrades nnd to the world u mes sage In behalf ot restoration o f pejice, order nnd well being. It Is our deliberate Judgment nfter admitting the fail ure of repeated International con ferences and coun cUs, nnd tho jjgj steady growth over since uio armistice, of In Jullen David. fluences that make for distrust, dis union nnd disaster, that the only waj to tranquility nnd prosperity for man kind ns a whole, lies In a return to a sacred observance of thoso principles upon which we nchloved our victory the allied war alms. The calamities which havo since overtnken civiliza tion have been primarily due to re creancy to those pledges." Among tho other dellnlto steps recommended by tho war heroes were: Full publicity for all International agreements ; faithful observance of treaties; opposition to territorial ag grandizement, suppression of move ments to overthrow governments by force; clarification of exchange rates and resumption of International com merce, with a proviso for suspension of trade relations with countries main taining armies organized for aggres sive purposos; and organization of a news disseminating bureau to offset destructive and Inflammatory propa ganda.
