COLLEGE USES
SIX LANGUAGES
AT EXERCISES
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 24 (by
Associated Press).—The world’s rec
ord for the number cf languages
used in its commencement exercises
will probably go to Robert College
this year. Orations were delivered
in six tongues and, at that, the pro
gram was less polyglot than it used
to be before the war. Each of the
orators spoke his native tongue, ac
cording to the traditions of the Amer
ican school established 57 years ago.
The school has American standards
and ideals and a majority of its
teachers are Americans but its aims
is to educate men for the service to
their own countries, rather than in
English speaking countries.
Armenian, Turkish, Greek, French
Bulgarian and English were the lan
guages used by the orators and the
chapel of the college was filled with
a cosmopolitan crowd typical of Con
stantinople’s intellectuals. At the
very time Admiral Bristol, the Amer
ican high commissioner, was advising
the 32 graduates to devote their lives
to > lessening of the racial and re
ligious hatreds of the Levant, war
was going on at four distinct fronts
in the Turkish empire, the British,
French, Greeks and Armenians all
being engaged in the conflict with the
Turkish Nationalists.
The band of the Second battlion,
British Cheshire regiment, which is
guarding Constantinople from Na
tionalists, attack, played for the com
mencement, and warships of the al
lied powers lav in the Bnsnhm>vc nt
the foot of the heights on which the
Robert College stands.
About the same time the Constan
tinople College for Women, another
American institution, held its com
mencement exercises. Two Turkish
girls were among the 23 young wom
en graduated this year from it. The
college is notable for having peace
among its students from 17 nations,
most of which were fighting, either
with or against America. The two
Turkish graduates wore the same
black academic gown" as their class
mates, but instead of the mortar
board cap wore white veils drapped
about their hair. A little Turkish
woman who is a member of the fa
culty also wore the white Moslem
headdress.
Admiral Bristol here also deliver
ed the commencement address to the
class, which contained one Jewish
girl, nine Armenians, nine Greeks
and two Bulgarians. Music for the
exercises was furnished by the or
chestra of the British dreadnaught,
the Iron Duke, and the diplomas
were presented by Dr.. Mary Mills
Patrick, president and founder of the
college which has conferred the de
gree of bachelor of arts on 30 classes
and numbers among its graduates
prominent women in all the Balkan
states.

JEW HOMELAND
WILL BE BUILT
BY VOLUNTEERS
JERUSALEM, Aug. 24 (by Associ
ated Press).—Ten thousand volun
teers, chosen from the veterans of
the world war, the Jewish legion and
skilled workmen, to enlist at once for
18 month's serivce in a Jewish in
dustrial army in Palestine, are neces
sary for the basic reconstruction work
of the Jewish National Homeland,
according to Bernard A. Rosenblatt,
president of the American Zion Com
monwealth, who is now irr Palestine
in the interests of “Balfouria,” the
colony of the American Zion Com
monwealth.
Mr. Rosenblatt recommends a regu
lar army organization with a general
staff of three which, as a Jewish in
dustrial commission, will supervise
the work of the Jewish labor army
in rebuilding the Holy Land.
“Our biggest task, once the call is
issued for volunteers, will be in sift
ing out the applicants and determin
ing upon the 10,000 to go,” he said.
“They could all be occupied in the
task of building houses for future im
migrants. The army should work
only on land belonging to the Jewish
nation, lands secured from the Pales
tine government, from the Jewish
national fund, the American Zion
Commonwealth or other agencies of
the Zionist organization.”
In addition to the construction of
houses, he points out that such an
army would be busied in preparing
land for immediate settlement, irri
gation, aitorestration, sanitation and
engineering works for the develop
ment of industry and commerce.
“The nucleus for such an industrial
| army is already in Palestine in the
co-operative groups, working on the
lends of the Jewish national fund
and in the group that is developing
‘Balforia,’ the first colony of the
American Zion Commonwealth,” he
| concluded. “I r.m convinced after
two visits to Palestine that only
I through such a huge disciplined Jew
; ish army, will we be able to recon
| Q«er the land of our forefathers.”
PFRFECTION ATTAINED
IN EVERY DETAIL OF BIG
GRIFFITH PRODUCTION
Perfection in every part down to
the minutest detail—that is typical
of all Griffith productions, and the
“Romance of Happy Valley” is no ex
ception.
It is just on ordinary every day
story of a boy and a girl and peace
ful farms in a sun-flecked valley, but
you feel the peace and quietness of
it, after our years of battle and bat
tle scenes you smell the fragrance
of fields of clover, and the scent of
fresh mown hay; you hear the hum
of bees in the orchard; you feel the
warmth of the sunshine on the old
rail fence. It is all there, the coun
try you used to know so well, and
dream of still. And you live, and
love, with the boy and girl (Lillian
Gish and Robert Harron) and it is
all very true, and very real, and very
sweet when, at the last, the tangled
threads of their young lives run
smooth, and the “Romace of Happy
Valley,” is complete.

a romance of Gypsy life, “Under the
