MORE THAN 1000 IN SWIMMING POOL FAR IN OCTOBER A certificate of analysis by A. B. Andrews, analytio and consulting chemist and state assayer, shows the latest sample of water taken from the Auburn Y.

M. C. A. swimming pool Oct. 18 free from bacteria.

More than 1000 have already used pool this month of October and the total since opening a few months back is now more than 8000. The operation of the circulating and purifying system is interesting. The water is circulated 16 hours daily at the rate of 5000 gallons an hour," said Avard Richan, physical director. "The capacity of the pool being 55,000 gallons the entire tents are changed one and a half times dally. A very efficient purifying system includes pressure filters which remove all foreign matter from the water and a chlorimator which adds a certain amount of chlorine gas, "This clorine gas kills what bacteria there may be in the water, making it chemically pure.

The water is then heated and run into the pool. With this ample precaution and gratifying report it is littie wonder that 1000 have had a swim during October and over 8000 since the opening." Mr. Richan concluded.

Morrissey Puts Pig Iron Ballast Aboard Preparatory to Going Fishing--Declares His Boat Has Established Title to Fishing Schooner Championship George Jerrard, Now of the Navy, Was Eye- Witness to Destruction of the City and Its Attendant Horrors Turks Sometimes "Good. Fellows," at Other Times Human Fiends- Some Inside Stories George Jerrard, who worked several months in the editorial rooms of the Lewiston Journal, then join.

ing the navy, was an eye-witness to the burning of Smyrna and its attendant honors. He writes graphically and well of what he sawhuman interest narrative that is at times, thrillingly effective. It is of value, too, because of Mr. Jerrard's thoughtful analysis of Turkish character. He describes the Turks as they at first appeared -pleasant, good -tempered, companionable, anxious to show their friendship for the American sailors.

It was not merely a pose; it seems ed instinctive. They were what wi Americans call "real people." And yet Jerrard, with his own eyes, 8a these same individuals turned int: human fiends, ready to burn, pillage, outrage and slay. What is the answer? It Is strange, deep study in psychology. Naturally, Mr. Jerrard dees not go into it.

But he makes plain that viciousness and cruelty were hot all on the Turkish side. He tells of Turkish villages destroyed by organized bands of Greek incendiaries; of Turkish civilian dead in ghastly piles; of a grim Turkish determinasion to rebuild ruined fortunes without vain regrets or calling upon others for aid. We might consider the same trait rather admirable if found in an equal number of Americans. "It must be remembered that there are two sides to the question," says Jerrard. Elbert Hubbard put the thought a bit differently.

"We are none of us all white, or all black," he declared. "Just a sort of slatey gray." This is Jerrard's narrative: JOURNAL MAN TELLS OF SMYRNA'S BURNING (BY GEORGE JERRARD) The EDSALL was just completing a tour of the Black Sea, having visited the ports of Varna, Burgaria; the Russian ports of Odessa, Novorossisk, and Batoum, and WE Trebizond, Anatolia, and we were anchored in Samsoun when word was received that the Turkish Army Continued on Page Three.
