THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
America Not Likely to BE in Any Manner
Involved.

America Not Likely to BE in Any Manner
Involved.
Washington, April 1S.-The grave
situation in the East was the topic OF
discussion in diplomatic and official
circles here to-day. In diplomatic cir
Giles, particularly, where the possible
ties of a general conflict in Europe are
always regarded as more or less immi-
nent if any of the powers become en-
gagged in war, the situation was deeply
considered. Among officials OF the
United States who expressed any opln-
ion at all, the sentiment seemed gen
eral that war between Turkey and
Greece is no matter in which this gov
eminent can in any way become in
volved, that what few citizense Of the
United States residing in the countries
are in the cities where they are not
liable to be m6iested, and that the only
course for this country to maintain
is one OF strict neutrality.
Mustapha Bey, the Turkish minister,
said tonight that he had not received
any further dispatches from MS gov
eminent relating to the troubles there.
He is expecting word, however, at any
time. as he probably Will be kept Iully
informed of what is taking place. The
minister tonight expressed himself as
regretting that things should have come
to the present pass. Turkey, he de-
clared. is for peace-peace on honorable
terms-and does not seek war with any
nation. The actions of the GreclanS'
he asserted. had made the step taken
by his government q perfectly proper
one. Greece had acted on the agrees
i've and by the actions OF her soluiers
had precipitated the conflict that now
seemed imminent. Her soldiers had IN
vaded Crete, which was turkish terri
tory. and had crossed the FRONTIERS on
the mainland. He expressed himself
as having no doubt of the outcome ana
that Turkey would be triumphant IN the
war if il should be formally declared.

For the Consideration OF the
Literary Association.

Il is very probable that Gabriel Dan
nunzio's Triumph Of Death will have Il
large sale throughout the United States;
not because of literary merit, nor of the
opinions that may be expressed by critics,
but simply because of -Comstock's attempt
10 suppress il on the ground of obsenity.
In the same manner. some years ago, he
materially increased the sale of the
"TIreutzer Sonata" 1t may be possible
: that the pious Anthony is in league
with the publishers. \ successful novel
. to-day IS determined by its success in the
market. by its number of sales; and the
suspicion that il contains a rotten spot
or 50 increases its chances of success. If
the work appeals to the morbid element
OF the race it will be successful. If it's
putrescence is marked, the morbid ele4
ment hail II as a psychological study.
The cause of this seems lue to mental do
tericration. the result of excessive assoc
cation with fiction.
We feel like "Krunius." that something
should be done regarding American and
foreign authors. AS far as protection IS
concerned. they are as amply provided for
as any other political industry. Irterna@
tional copyright, which "Krunius'' over
looked which now embraces Great Brit
din and her possessions. France, Ger
many. Italy, Spain. Portugal Belgium,
Denmark, Switzerland. Mexico and Chilli.
gives sufficient protection 10 the author.
but what we consider most needed is pro-
lection for the people.
We would suggest that all foreign books
of historical, scientific. religious or phil
osophical nature be admitted free of duty.
All works Of fiction. except in very rare
cases, be protected entirely. In America
here we would suggest that works of
science, history, religion and philosophy,
be encouraged. but instead of giving writ
ers Of fiction a bonus on books sold, il
would be better in most instances 10 give
them a bonus 10 suppress their books.
| Except in rare cases works of fiction are
| bur destroyerS of time They unfit the
mind for mental progress and solid un-
Outstanding and teach ii to seek its en-
jovment in the veriest froth of other
minds.
Fiction is often the vehicle of splendid
lessons. These lessons may be bound in
written truth without resorting TO the
imaginary figures of Laura Jean Libbey
or Ian Maclaren Works OF fiction that
have become classics or may, should be
preserved-we speak above only of the
myriads Of works that are daily entering
the reading world-weeS,-~ we might call
them, that are shutting out the healthy
growth of better plants.
While speaking of this. it is curious TO
note the vast amount of fiction that is
consumed. The late report OF the Public
Library here shows a monthly circulation
of 5,4l9 books, Of which number AIS were
works of fiction. To rigid moralist who
maintains that lie is never justifiable
the statement would stand thus: Out Of
over five thousand assertions. more than
four thousand were falsehoods.
Could not the mind be directed along
more profitable paths with as much salts
faction and enjoyment? LIVRE
