THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, JULY 7, 1919. WORLD WAR MAY BE SALVATION FOR PERSIANS Rev. E. L Lawrence, Returned Missionary, Tells of Con ditions; Says Country Has Gone Backward. 1 Re E. T. Lawrence, M. D., Presbyterian missionary stationed j at Kazvin, Persia, is visting in Oma ha with his wife and two daughters. . Mrs. Lawrence Is a sister of C B Wilson, 2805 Woolworth avenue, and Rev. J. M. Wilson, pastor of North Presbyterian church. Dr. Lawrence spoke at Westmin sten church Saturday morning, and in the evening he spoke at an open air meeting of members of North lV Presbyterian church, in Kountze . park. Persia has gone many steps V backward from the position it occu pied centuries ago," he said. "The present-day national life of the peo ' pie is at a low ebb. but from an ex perience of nearly 20 years in that ' country I really believe that the war through which we have passed will fcpell the salvation of Persia. , Diseases Are Common. He explained that venereal dis eases among the people are so com mon that they are mentioned with out thought of shame. Concubines are condoned by the natives because they believe that their prophet ap proved of them. Referring to the transportation facilities of Persia, the doctor said: ; "The Russians have extended a line into north Persia, but the only ; Persian railroad in the country is a six-'mile stub line from Terehan, the capital city, to a shrine. Many peo ple travel in four-horse coaches, the -animals being changed every 16 miles. I have seen a line of 150 camels carrying oil. There are some macadam roads and the introduc- ' tion of automobiles during the period of the war will serve to stim- . ulate better roads." Left Before Armistice. Dr. Lawrence and his family, ac companied by five Russian nurses, left Persia before the close of the war. He was returning to the states for his leave of absence, which is allowed every eight years. The British forces . gave the party an automobile convoy to Bagdad, more than 500 miles, with a Lewie machine gun on the lead car and another gun on the rear car, this for protection against the Turks and Kurds. They visited Bombay on their way home. ,s - Ruler But 22. "The present shah of Persia is only ,22 years old, and he began to rule when he was 16," continued the doctor. "During the war he en deavored to maintain neutrality. Many of the Persians believed that Russia had designs on the northern part 'of their country, but it, was made clear to them later that the British government, before the war, entered into a treaty with Russia, whereby the latter : government would confine its trade relations to northernJ?ersia and the British gov ernment would operate in the south, and that the British would maintain i the national integrity of Persia. When the war was started Persians generally were anti-Russian. The British sent forces into the country to protect their interests. -"The . Persian . government, how ever, - is very . weak. There is . not even a government census, and only a small per cent of the people can read or write. The influence of the English-speaking people who have gone among the Persians is begin ning to show results, but it will re quire many years for Persia to get into the front ranks of civilization." Council of Five Refuses to Make Peace With Bela Kun Willard Knocked Out In. Third Round Is Ruling of Pecord . Toledo, O.,' July. 6.

Wil lard, however, did not leave his chair to answer the call for the fourth round. '- ... i Tex; Rickard, promoter, requested an official ruling because of the hun dreds of telegrams he received asking- if Dempsey. should be credited with -a knockout victory and when the bout was officially ended.

Paris, July 6. The Council of Five has reached the conclusion that it is impossible to make peace with Beta Kun s government in Hungary, according to the Havas agency. Maintenance of the blockade, fs was said, still is necessary, although its effects have not been felt by the Hungarian revolutionary govern ment, as it is appropriating food stuffs for itself and its friends. Recent events at Budapest have indicated the affairs of the soviet government there are on the verge of a crisis.

Fancy Footwear to Be New Vogue for Women Chicago, July 6. The style's the thing. Wartime economy and ab sence of decoration are not to be reflected in women's wearing ap parel if new sroe styles are a. fair indication. This is the consensus among shoemen as reflected in ex hibits being prepared for, the Chi cago National Shoe exposition, to be held at the Hotel Morrion, July Ml. Fancy styles will rule, the shoe men say. The cost of shoes will be far greater, but workmanship will not be spared and everything that goes into the making of shoes this year is higher. The women are not going to wear any style based on the Munson army last. Instead there will be "creations" with thin leather soles, high heels, fancy uppers, and ex treme lasts. Nor will men's shoes be based upon army fashions, but will seek instead to show off male foot shapeliness. Traditions of Belgium To Be Recalled by Fair Brussels, July 6.
