Canadian Da. at Premium
All Over the World
A despatch from New York
says: ---One feature of the for-
eign eech,;ane market here on
Friday was the quoting of the
Canadian dollar at a premium.
Whether Great Britain could
take advantage of this finan-
cial position of one of her col-
onies, if the premium should
continue, was a question dis-
cussed among exchange
brokers. Britain is shipping
gold here by millions of dollars
preparatory to making a pay-
ment of interest on her war
debt, while Canada has an em-
bargo on the export of gold.
Canadian money now has a
premium in all countries of
the wo»'U.
GREEKS BURNED CITY
SAYS A REFUGEE
English Woman Escaped from
Smyrna Gives True Version.
A dsspateh from London says:-
Mre. Decor/done, an English woman,
and wife of the manager of the Aidin
Railway, has written to the Manchest-
er Guardian from H.M.S. King George,
off Malta, describing the burning of
Smyrna. She says, in part:
"When the Greek troops first heard
orf the defeat of their main army they
proceeded to carry out instructions
pse'viously laid drown by their head-
quarters, and instituted wholesale
earrnage and incendiarism clang the
-wlhole route of retreat.
Mrs. Deeondolle declares that in
Magnesia, almost wholly a Turkisih
town, the Greeks "rounded up and
burnt in a circle the inhabitants of
the city, leaving, however, a number
of crucified women and, children alive
and writhing to welcome the incoming
Turkish regulars."
Mrs. Decondalle's letter concludes:
"Whatever the English press may
have to say upon the destruction of
Smyrna, the Turk is, if anything, less
blameable than any ether nationality
an this miser. abble businesis "
