HISTORICAL
ST. SOPHIA S
IS JRENACED
LONDON, March 24 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—
Warning that the Turks had threat
ened to destroy the Church of St.
Sophia in Constantinople, if any move
ment was undertaken to restore that
church to the Christians’ had been re
ceived by government officials of
Great Britain.
The subject was brought up in the
house of commons the other day when
Arthur J. Balfour, the foreign min
ister, was aBked if he had received a
communication from Constantinople
stating that the Turks intended to
blow up the Church of St. Sophia “if
any public expression of opinion took
place in the United Kingdom in favor
of the restitution to Christendom of
one of the oldest Christian churches
in Europe.”
Mr. Balfour replied that no official
communication to that effect had been
received but that such information had
been conveyed by interested parties.
He announced that Admiral Calthorp,
British commander in Constantinople,
had been instructed to take measures
to protect the building and that he
would see that these instructions
were carried out.
Despite the warning there is a
detinue movement lo.oKing to tne res
toration of the great cathedral church
of ancient Constantinople to the use
of the Christian religion. Erected at
first in 360 A. D. and rebuilt in 537
as a Christian cathedral, St. Sophia
was appropriated by the Turks as a
Moslem house of worship and is now
the principal mosque of Stamboul.
A memorial signed by the arch
bishops of Canterbury and York and
others has been sent to Premier Lloyd
George urging that, while the great
imperial mosques of Constantinople
should remain in the hands of Islam,
“justice requires that the Christians
of that city, who form a large ma
jority of its inhabitants should have
their priceless building (St. Sophia)
restored to them. It has no special
sacredness for Moslems. Its value in
their eye is merely political.
“The great church is now in a
serious conditon and must inevitably
collapse if it is not placed in capable
hands,” says the memorial. “The glor
ious mosaics, a precious heritage
among the artistic treasures of the
world, should be uncovered from the
defacement which is necesarily im
posed so long as the building, con
structed and decorated for one faith,
is alienated and devoted to another.

AUSTRALIANS
DO NOT WANT
ANNEXATION
SYDNEY, Australia, March 2 (Cor
responence of the Associated Press).
—Public opinion In Australia as ex
presed by some of the newspapers of
Sydney and Melbourne Is represented
as opposing the idea that Australia
wants to annex the formerly German
islands of the South Pacific. They
point out that there has been a mis
apprehension in Paris and elsewhere
as to the attitude of Australians on
this point. For example, the Mel
bourne Age says:
“An unhappy and untrue picture of
Australia is being drawn by the peace
conference. We are represented as
demanding German territory as pay
ment for our services in the war. A
wrong impression may very well be
due to misrepresentation of Austral
ian opinion. Mr. Hughes (premier)
appears to have given the unfortunate
impression that Australia wants to
annex the Pacific islands. The only
datum he can have is the resolution
passed by both houses of parliament
in November last, declaring that the
captured German colonies must not
be handed back to Germany, and that
Australia should be consulted over
their disposition. This is a. very dif
ferent thing from a claim for annexa
tion. We want, in fact, to have as
little responsibility for them as is
consistent with our safety. It would
be a calamity if they were given to
Australia as a gift. Australia is not
in a position to manage an empire in
the Pacific. We have already far more
territory than we can populate and
develop.”
The Sydney Daily Telegraph also
disavows any desire by Australia to
“start a little empire” of her own.
“What would have su.ted us best
would have been the assumption of
control in the Pacific by Britain her
self,” says the Telegraph. “Or even
by America, if America had seen her
way clear to stretch her idea of anti
imperial policy. Most Australians if
they had been consulted would have
preferred not to take them (the for
mer German possessions near Aus
tralia) at ail if security could be ob
tained in any other way.”
The Melbourne Argus declares that,
since the whole Australian people
were united in the determination that J
the islands should not go back to Ger
many, Australia cannot shirk the duty
of accepting a mandate from the
league of nations, but it adds that the
“burden will be heavy, the responsi
bilites great, the cost severe and the
return, except in security, problem
atical.”

ONE SIDE OF STREET DRY
AND OTHER VERY WET
CALEXICO, Cal., April 21.—The
United States will become “bone dry”
on June 30 next, but Mexicali, Lower
California, literally just across the
street from this city, will be an oasis
abounding in those liquid refreshments
forbidden American citizens by the
war-time prohibition act in accordance
with the plans of a group of Mexican
capitalists, announced recently. Con
struction of a distillery is contem
plated for the preparation of rum,
whisky, gin, brandy and other ardent
spirits. It is announced that the plant
will cost in excess of $150,000.
A large brewery was started re
cently and is nearing completion, and
the- construction of the distillery will
follow, according to Fred Dato and
Frank Dunlevey, said to be the pro
moters of the project.
The city limits of Mexicali on one
side of the American boundary and
the city limits o‘f Calexico on the other
side are almost identical.
Mexicali is the seat of the govern
ment of Lower California, whose head
is Governor Esteban Cantu.
