TURKEY FIGHTING FOR LIFE
Ready to Plunge All Europe Into

ence Of Turkey as an independent state
being the question now before Europe

For more than a quarter of century
Turkey has existed by means of protec-

European states or a group of states.
Since Bismarck's time the German bloc
has been Turkeys main protector. Eng
lands recent declaration Of military
solidarity with France has cancelled the
protective capacity of the German bloc
and set Italy free.
AS practical arbitrator of Europe.n
affairs Italy holds the balance of power.
Her first act is to disregard the Ger

pleases with Turkey, which has been
living in a FOOLS paradise for the last
twenty years. and is now astonished at
finding the great German protector in
capable OF propping her up.
Turkey is in a desperate condition and
is casting around for a fresh protector
Ii the ally that the Grand Vizier talks
about is in reality protector, Turkish
independence is morally gone. never to

efficacious protector, capable Of guar

will readily make some immense sacri-

not conclude peace with Italy unless she
can secure beforehand the aid of some

INNOCENT, DECLARES
|. STEEL CORPORATION
Judge Gary Issues Statement
Saying There Was No Effort
to Mon1poIize Trade.
DEPLORES EFFECT OF SUIT
Denies Deceiving Mr.. Roosevelt
One Manufacturer Says NO
One Can Stop Meetings.
Common Stock Breaks
Heavily in Market.

After an hours conference yesterday
between j. F. Morgan. ex-Judge r. H.
Gary. chairman of the board OF direc-
tors Of the Steel Corporation; George F.
Baker, chairman Of the board OF d.
rectors of the First National Bank. ana
Charles Steele. formerly of Mr.. Morgan's
banking firm. the Steel Corporations
through Judge Gary. issued its word TO
the public on the suit brought by the
government.
The statement reaffirmed the position
taken in the joint statement issued a
month ago by Mr.. Morgan and Judge
Gary that the corporation was innocent
of monopolistc purposes and made only
for stability of prices in the steel indus-
try Any attempt to misrepresent the
facts in the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Companv purchase TO President Roose-
Welt was denied. while possible Ill effects
of the suit on the stockholders Of the
corporation was deplored.
The statement was mild In its general
tenor II made no attack on the gov
ernment for bringing the suit ana
touched melancholy note in its sorrow
for the one hundred and fifty thousand
stockholders. The defence Of its actions
was equally sad i'm the thought that
they should have been so misconstrued.
while the belief was expressed that full
knowledge Of all the facts connected
with the allegations in the governments
suit would lead to the exoneration OF the
corporation from the charges against II.
The sadness Of the corporation was re-
fiected by the public i'm it's assault on the
stock market. though the optimism OF the
steel conferrees was lacking here When

ceeded yesterday I'm transactions In Steel

"WouId Save Cost Of Dinners

And that proposition To have the gov

would like to have the government
supervise the prices. II would save him
the cost Of the dinners. The same re-
suit would be obtained Everybody
would have 10 make a common price for
steel products, and Judge Gary would
not have 10 foot the bill for the menu.
THAT reminds me- he added. that

Corporation has seen the light recently

"-nd that is what We have had since
the steel Corporation was formed. The
buyers want IL so that they can KIN W
what their steel is going to cost them.
and the manufacturers want II so they
can tell what they are going to get for
their products.
There hasn't been any tendency TO
force up prices The tendency has been
all the other way. The big fellow was
always trying To keep prices down.
Sometimes the independents wanted
higher prices. but they always submitted
gracefully. That was true in everything

"WilI Be No Rate War

There were others who differed with
Mr.. Morgan and Judge Gary in their In
terpretation of the purposes Of the Steel
Corporation.
IF the governments suit IS successful
and the trust is dissolved will there be
rate war among the steel manufact-
urers?" was asked of big manufacturer
who has been a constant attendant at
the Gary dinners.
NO. sir" he replied. Neither the
government nor any one else can keep US
from getting together. We have learned
the advantages of combination and We
are going to keep it up. The government
may stop the Gary dinners. but 1t can't
stop us from getting together II we
can't get together i'm one place we can in
another The government can't stop
business men from coming together ana
talking over their affairs and We are
going TO keep on doing it.
This may be a political move, and
among the steel manufacturers there are
both Democrats and Republicans, but
when II comes to making steel prices We
don't know politics. That Is business,
and we don't let our politics interfere
with our business.

Our Personal-rroperiy System Of Tax
alton Summed Up.

The March American Magazine
contains another article on the
archtic system of personal-property
taxation which obtains in this coun-
try. Mr.. A. J.. Mock has been writ.
ing series of articles on this subject
for this periodical. The unequlvo-
cal conclusion Mr.. Mock reaches is
as follows:
AS a matter Of morals we have
found the personally tax an outrage
as matter of administration, an i'm.
possibility; as a matter of revenue
getting, a complete failure; and now,
finally, as a matter of business sense
and tact. it is an absurdity.

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
ENTERTAINS THE SENATE
The Senators Did Not Like A Certain
EdltoriaI-Had Him Before the
Bar-White Held His
Own.

Topeka, Feb 1S-The Kansas senate
objected to a newspaper article py
William Allen White in which he
mentioned a senatorial pork barrel
BY means Of which appropriations for
various educational institutions we're
used to secure votes against Dlls
calculated to redeem platform pledges.
For fully an hour White stood the
interrogation Of the shrewd Brewster,
meeting him with good humored re-
turns and answers that bristled with
epigrams.
White told the senators that he OBJ
tanned the information upon which his
last pork barrel article was founded
from a senator. He added that the
communication was privileged and
that he would not reveal the sena-
tors name.
IF you insist upon my giving his
name, get your supreme court Tor
habeas corpus" he added.
White said that it had not been his
intention to accuse any senators OF
criminal bribery, but OF bribery that
sold votes in consideration of the loca-
tion of a state institution. At times
when Brewster started to ask another
question before the witness had nm
ished answering, White would throw
up his hands and exclaim: Whoa,
whoa, back up! I'm going to answer
that last question IL it takes till mid
night and answer 1t in my own way
There were shouts of laughter and
applause when "Bill" defined the pork
barrel by making Caldwell the hoops,
Glenn the slaves, Carey the pork and
Stavely the squeal. White had at
first refused to answer the senate's
subpoena until an attachment was
sent for him and it was learned that
the supreme court had decided that
the senate had a right to force him in.
When he appeared he asked that ne
might be represented by counsel. Sen
ator Ganse and Senator Hamilton
we're appointed to protect him.
Senator Brewster was appointed TO
represent the injured and aggrieved
senators. White characterized his ar
ticle that stirred up all the trouble as
a fire alarm to stir UP the grass roots.

| The men of Findland once obeyed
the law from reverence for it. Then
came the few recent desperate years

And as the moral revolution came to
