ANOTHER WEEK OF
DEVELOPMENT IN DIXIE
COLUMBUS, Ga., Sept. 11.—The In
dustrial Index says in its issue for
this week:
“Bouyant confidence that the steady
improvement in business is to con
tinue in increasing volume during the
next four months at least is a notable
and highly satisfactory feature of the
general business situation.
‘Construction operations continue
steadily, with some large items re
ported, and there is growth in the
number of announcements of indus
trial plants to be established.
“Extensive facilities provided for
financing the cotton crop create very
promising conditions regarding the
marketing of the staple and bid fair
to be an important factor in determin
ing the price.
“The banking position is exception
ally sound. The steel mills are being
operating practically at capacity. The
whole situation, especially in this sec
tion of the country with its cotton
crop, is so much beter han i was a
year ago that there is little compari
son. There is a market for cotton al
a fair price, whereas a year ago there
was no market. Industrial plants
were idle are bein goperated on full
time. Business men are confident of
good business during the coming fall
There are helpful results from the
practice of economy.
“Among the items of construction
work to be done, as reported this week,
are:
Remarkable Reports
Being Circulated And
Gain Credence In Turkey
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 11.—As
instances of some of the remarkable
war rumors afloat in the Turkish cap ■
ital, the Associated Press correspond
ent found that the following had cir
culation and credence among a large
number of Greeks and Armenians, and
even some uninformed Turks.
That American engineers were en
gaged in digging a canal acress the
narrow part of the Gallipoli Penin
sular; that the Anglo-French allies (
had built and put into operation a
railroad twenty-five kilometers long,
and that the Allies were now busy de
building the Greek towns along the
Dardanelles and the Aegean Sea,
which were destroyed during the var
ious bombardments. Lastly, that the
French and English would be masters
of the Dardanelles, Sea of Marmora
and the Bosphorus within fourteen
days.
There are, of course, no American
canal builders anywhere near the
Dardanelles; there is no such railroad
as the Allies are said to have built:
the Greek towns are in ruin as before,
and the fourteen-day period allowed
for the penetration of the straits is
recurrently prolonged.
The rumors mentioned are not the
most extravagant that one hears in

Constantinople, they are merely those
heard most often and semingly believ
ed by a large number of the Greekr
and Armenians.
Seeking enlightment as to the reas
on for such an odd rumor as the pres
ence of American canal diggers, the
correspondent learned from a Greek
resident that the Allies had engaged
American engineers to dig the sup
posed canal because they had such
success in canal building at Panama,
and that the object of the canal
through the Gallipoli peninsular was
to afford a cannel for the Allied fleet
to reach Constantinople without hav
ing to pass the Dardanelles’ forts,
whose strength, no one here, even
Greeks and Armenians, longer doubt.
Th e suggestion that such a canal
would be the task of several years
was altogether lost on the men who
believed the rumor.
The report that the Allies have built
i a military railroad from Sid-el-Bahr
i to a point twenty-five kilometers north
is even more widely believed. The
truth is that the Allies would have to
run the railroad in circles in order to
make it twenty-five kilometers iv
length unless it penetrated the Turk
ish lines.

bassy in Constantinople had been so
impressed with these reports of the
railroad building, in fact, that even he
besieged the Associated Press corre
spondent for the truth.
The activity of persons who circu
late such rumors as are calculated to
falsely impress the populace with the
success of the Allies gives the military
authorities considerable trouble. The
penalty for such an offence may be as
much as six years imprisonment and
a fine that may mean the confiscation
of all the property the offender has.
But even this drastic measure does
not make the rumor mongers more
careful. Almost daily a dozen of such
cases are disposed of with varying re
sults. A few nights ago a meteor fell
near Constantinople, the career of the
celestial wanderer coming to an end
with a vivid flash of light and a sharp
explosion. The next day it was as
serted by rumor that a British aero
plane had thrown bombs upon the
buildings of the Sublime Porte.
The disposition of the Constantinople
’newspapers, however, to publish all
the facts that they can obtain was re
cently shown in the reproduction by
most of the newspapers here of some
of the despatches which had been for
warded to America by the Associated

Church in Hanover Sqhare, has prob
ably officiated at more aristocratic
weddings than any other man in th
-of Great Britain.
St. George’s is the church of al;
others where the Londoner of wealt’i
or title goes to be wedded, and Mr
Maisey as Paris Clerk has taken an
official part in every marriage there
for nearly forty years. On an averag ?
300 marriages are celebrated at St.
George’s every year.
The squat old church located little
more than a stone’s throw-from th 1 ;
heart of the fashionable shopping dis
trict, has been a great place of pil
grimage for American travelers sine.
Mr. Theodore Roosevelt and Miss Ed
ith Kermit Carow were mariied there.
Mr. Roosevelt ,it is related, “walked in
from Brown’s Hotel in a bowler hat,
with Sir Cecil Spring Rice as his best
man, and was married with the mini
mum edremony.” The one page in
the register in which he described
himself as a “ranchman” is now al
most disfigured from the attention of
numerous visitors, who have even
been accused of trying to chip off
small pieces of the old table on which
the register rests.
Since the time of the Roosevelt-
Carow wedding, many Americans have
been married at St. George’s, but the
list of English weddings outshines
them from the point of view of the soc
ial column. Mr. MaisCy’s most cher
ished possession is a piece of silver
ware presented him as a token of grat
itude for his share in the wedding of
the Dutchess of Marlborough to Lord
William Beresford. At one of his
weddings the register was signed by
two Kings and two Queens, at another
by four Prime Ministers. The forme: -
occasion was the marriage of Lady
