1t is to be deplored that the great
powers did not permit the Balkan
allies to proceed with the war against
Turkey until it had captured Con-
stantinop]e and driven every Moslem
across the Bosphorus. That the
allies could have effected this had
the powers entered no objection is
apparent, but the great European
nations were jealous and feared that
the Balkan combination would be-
come too powerful and prove a
menace to them.

An Echo Of the Crusades.

4
! The Balkan war is one more chapter
In the war between Mohammedanism
and Christianity. It is not only an
echo Of the crusades, but finishes the
work Of the crusades.
In this connection it is gratifying
that there is at last some disposition
to do justice to the memory of Rich
ard Occur de Lion, leader of the third
crusade. Richards reputation has suf-
fered at the hands Of his biographers
and all because of some minor flaws
in his character. for which the age in
which he lived and his heredity were
more responsible than was the man
himself.
Most of the biographers are English,
and they cannot forgive Richard be-
cause as king Of England he taxed the
realm and spent so much time abroad.
This is a typically British provincial
view. Without these taxes and ab-
sences it would have been impossible
to carry on the crusade at all. It
is also charged that he was violent
of temper, but the times were violent.
and only a man of force could have
carried through the enterprises in
which this lion hearted king was en-
gagged. 1t is charged likewise that he
Warred against his father. True. but
he had great provocation., The char
acter of Henry II. was such that al
most any self respecting son would
have warred against him. Richard
believed and apparently with good
cause that this unnatural father had
alienated the affections of Richards
own wife.
Richard I. was one of the bravest
and greatest warriors of the middle
ages, a great soul amid petty intrigues
and an almost impossible environment.
Whatever the small brood of biogra-
piers may say, he showed deep reli-
gious feeling. 1t needs a Carlyle to
interpret the rough nobility and beau
ty of his character. No small soul is
equal to the task. Richard was a poet
as we'll as a warrior. He was mag
unanimous and forgiving in the face of
great wrongs. He forgave his brother
John for trying to steal his throne and
with his dying breath forgave his as
sassin. In this day of the near fulfill
ment Of the crusaders dream it is time
to do justice to the greatest figure that
appeared in the wars for the cross.

Speaker Clark of the natio

Speaker Clark of the national
house of Representatives has served
notice on Prof. Barbour of the
Ypsilanti, Mich, Normal school
that he must retract charges of
drunkenness made against him, Mr..
Clark, or take the consequences. It
appears that the contemplate peda-
gogue, in a public speech, accused
Speaker Clark of being so drunk at
Ann Arbor that fraternity brothers
had to put him to bed. Mr.. Clark
characterizes the statement as a
malicious falsehood, that he never
took a drink of Intoxicating liquor
at Ann Arbor in his life, that he
never did drink to excess, and that
since 1904 he has not tasted intoxi-
eating liquor Gin any shape, form or
fashion. There is probably as
much foundation for the charge of
drunkenness against Speaker Clark
as there was for similar charges
made against the republican candi-
date for governor in this state in
1904 by a gang of hireling, men
dacious liars, any one Of whom would
barter: his mothers honor for a
paltry financial considerations. !.

weights cotton meal is our best form
of ammonia and the doctor knows full
well that we cannot make lO-4-4 nor a
g-4-6 from cotton meal not by using
the highest grade of phOsphoric acid and
potash on the market. We don't need
to make as low grade as an S-2-2; its ex-
IRENE low grade can't be made from any
smmohiate yet offered US without a filler.
We use no lower grade than Is per cent
acid in out mix.
CITES A POINT.
Now the point that has brought about
all this noise they are making about
hner in fertilizer. the point that seems
to be in hiding and that is the mineral
ammoniates, the extremely quickly avail
able ammoniates. Not organic matter. for
the farmer to pass into the hands Of old
mother earth, for her to carry through
her natural mode of decomposing passing
the gases, forming by the decOmposins
matter into the soils as an agency to
disintegrate and properly asslmilate the
small amounts of the many mineral ele>
ments that must assist in giving her a
fine production, and from time to time
as the process goes on yielding up nitro
gen, forming from the decomposing OF
the organic matter as a long season crop
demands. If organic matter was used
and that only, there would not be so
much filler to raise noise about.
Suppose we give formula for 1922
using sulphate Of ammonia as. our source
for nitrogen: 200 pounds of available
phosphoric acid, 40 pounds of ammonia
and 40 pounds of potash in ale formula,
it requires lbs pounds of 16 per cent phos-
phoric acid. 160 pounds of % per cent
sulphate of ammonia and 50 pounds OF
muriate of potash and so pounds of
cinder or sand, and then give us a rainy
season like this one. which from the APP
pearance of many crops in Georgia, we
might not save so much work and worry
in the making, but we would certainly
save the work necessary for a gath
ering
Tbs case would be the same in the use
of nitrate Of soda, or any other mineral
ammohiates when used in mixtures and
applied at the planting of long season
crops. If 1t doesn't leach out on account
of heavy rains. it spends it's force early
growing a.larger stalk thank our depleted
soil would Fruit or mature. so I don't
see in which case the farmers suffers
the greater damage.
Respectfully.

without the flat round cap and the half
yard wide rolling collars, the raiment
of the American navy sailor since the
birth of the republic, may be found

A naval board which has been study

has about concluded that both the flat
cap and the broad collar interfere with
a sailors work on shipboard. SO a round,
narrow, brimmed cloth hat and a regular
miners flannel shirt are proposed for
wear aboard ship. To save the traditions,
however, the picturesque old cap and
collar probably win be maintained as the
uniform of the jack tar when he goes
