Constantinople for its capital? 1t would
be strong enough to hold the city ana
not strong enough to excite the fears
of the great European powers And the

But one thing is as certain as thai
God is just and that eternal righteous
ness rules the universe: The power OF

Europe is doomed. The irresistible pub

invincible conscience of christendoms

And all this, with the far-reaching

These startling events are trumpet calls

GIRL PROTECTION
At SWEET SIXTEEN
Whether Daughter Turns to
Right or Wrong Depends
Largely on Parents

1 think that the place where brool

says Barbara Lee in the Philadelphia

age at which our young girl is budding
into womanhood and. besides being in
teresting to every outsider who loves
girlhood and womanhood, it should b'
most carefully watched by the mother
and father.
am surprised at the lack of surveil-
lance that characterizes our age.
If you come upon your daughters sud
denly you will find her reading love
story; you will catch her dreaming
when she ought to be parsing an ir-
regular French verb. ,
Don't tear the paperback from your
daughters hand. She will only get an
other and sneak her reading. 1t is
your duty, however, to find out just
what kind of love stories she is en-
toying. Trashy, unreliable love stories
are worse than literary starvation, for
they work an inealculable harm on the
girls mind and morals.
Be very careful of sweet sixteen S

ciate with them. She will fool you II
you do She will meet the young gen.
tlemen on street corners, she will walk

ing about the habits of her servant than
A.
The only sensible thing to do is to
have the daughter invite her friends
to her home. It's a good thing to bring
a crowd of young persons in out of the
rain.
Facing mothers and fathers is the in
controvertible fact that sweet sixteen
is an age that is most important, be-
cause it is a turning point. Whether a
daughter turns to the right or the
wrong is up to the mother and father.
The throngs of sixteen-year-old girls
painted, powdered, bejeweled, with a
queer, acquired, narrow look in their
eyes and a vulgar accentuation of the
physical wherever possible, are one OF
the conditions of the Great White Way
of every large city in this land.
Sweet sixteen is too sweet and too
young to be thrown out on the world
against which she is too feeble and too
immature to battle. She is too unbal-
anced and Uniformed mentally, morally
and physically to face problems that
have baffled saner and older heads,
She has an awakening sense of love OF
sex; but she doesn't know what
either is.

The present has been a most event
full year in the history of the world.
We have seen republic rise in China,
and the Tartar dynasty fall. which had
ruled for centuries over fourth or the
population of the earth.
Now we see, the power Of Turkey
broken, and welcome the prospect of the
Turks being driven out of Europe to
his ancient habitation in Asia.
In 1453-about forty years before
Columbus discovered America-the Sui
tan Mohammed laid siege to and cap
tured Constantinople, which is in many
respects the most strategic spot on tho
globe-the gateway between the East
and the West. Napoleon declared that
great power. holding Constantinople
could dominate the world; and that Is
true This fact first gave the city TO
the "unspeakable Turk" and by virtue
Of it he has been supported in his I'M
warranted retention of the spot for
more than four hundred years. The
place is so strong the European powers
have been unwilling that 1T should be
held by any great power, and, therefore,
the comparatively weak Turk has been
allowed to occupy it.
Constantinople would not have fallen
in 1853 but for a truce which the Sui
tan Mohammed made with the King of
| Hungary, who professed to be a Chris
| tan. The Hungarian King was actuat-
ed by motives of fear and suspicion
| with reference to his European neigh
bors; and he let the Turk into Europe,
with all the evil consequences which
have followed, because he desired to Sc
cure his own selfish interests. 1t is an
interesting fact that Austria-Hungary

| After the Russo-Turkish war, some
thirty years ago. a great council Of the
statesmen of the European nations was
held in Berlin, and much of the fruits
of Russia's victory was wrested from

which is known as "the Treaty of Ber-
lin" BY that treaty a sort of interna
tional equilibrium was established in
Europe. But that equilibrium was dis
/ turbed some three or four years ago
when Austria, with the consent and
backing of Germany, annexed Bosnia
and Herzegovina. Since then various
movements have taken place on account
of this disturbance of the balance OF
power in Europe-such movements, fol
example, as the activity of the French
in Morocco, and the establishment o.
a triple entente cordial between Eng
land, France and Russia as an offset
to the triple alliance between Germany
Austria-Hungary. and Italy.
/ Austria's annexation Of Bosnia and
Herzegovina was distinctly disadvant-
ageous to Italy, and this fact chilled the
latter's attachment to the Triple ALI
