TURKEY WAS WILLING,

It is impossible as yet to tell what the full meaning of the entrance os Turkey into the war win be. It is 1 indicative of such deplcrabie sttua- tion that even the possibility of it brings a sEudder.
 It means first of all an extension of the war operations both on land and sea in Europe. It cannot fail to have its effect upon the Balkans and most of them know what they owe to Rus- sia for the independence which they l now enjoy. Even Greece and Italy are cognizant of the meaning which goes with the entrance of Turkey Into the fight and the difnculty of main tatning neutrality is greatly increased It is likely to be the move which | changes their attitude.
 By this move Turkey can also in- volYe more of Asia in the confiagration 1 and it is this possibility which is in- tended for the worriment Of Great Britain. It has the power to extend the area of conflict into Africa through 1 trouble in Egypt and adjoining posses sfons Of Italy and France, but even still greater harm could be caused by the declaration of a ''hoIy war; for the purpose of lining up the Afohammed- ans against the Christians.
 Turkey, now chaffipg under the manner in which it has been "forced'' into the war, has from the very outset given no satisfactory evidence that such would not be the ultimate result Whether it has been precipitated into the fray or not there is no indication from the preparations that it has been
 making that it was unwiI1insfy.
 AN uNENVIABLE RECORD.
 It doesn't stand out to the credit of this country or to any city in this country to hold the record for the fars- est number of hon1icides and vet that is what the situation is. Those who have occasion to look into such s.e- tistics report from time to time that the United States holds probably the highest homicide rate of any civilized country in the world.
 Strange as it may seem that the homicides in this country amounted to $500 Curing the past year, and that the rate in the city of New York is six times cs great as in London, three times that of Berlin and sixty per cent. greater than that of Paris, it is a. sit uation which discloses a serious con- dition. It is a state of affairs which needs the sharpest attention. There certainly should be sufficient law en- forcement and punishment to prevent the tendency from increasing.
 The disclosure that large cities of Europe are able to place a greater check upon murder than are the large cities of this country furnishes food for thought in the tackiing of the hom- ic1de problem. A free country doesn't mean the right to murder a fellow man, but 1t would appear that either Europe has a better system of detec- tion and punishment, and thereby is able to hold the people in greater fear or the law or else too great leniency and opportunity for evading the law and the penalty is offered in this country. It is apparently a deep seat ed condition from which this country should be anxious to escape.

1t Is Belgium which is naatinK fne brunt of the devastation and 1t Is a condition which has been forced upon them. The BeIgfans deaired peace and fopcd to refrain from any particfpa- ti0n in European conflicts. Under I'm treaties it had reason to believe thai it was guarded against just such rav- ages as it has undergone. Their con- ddance. however was betrayed and It's plight today is pdtiable. It is not surprising that it has gained tho at- tention and assurance from the Rocke- teller Foundation
 With millions of neglected pecnle, homeless. broken families and the means of making a living gone, the worlds charity finds a worthy out let, and it is a most ncticAahia fact what a prominent part this country is taking in the administration of relief.
 Upon the battledelds arc to be found the forces of the American Red Cross doing their utmost to relieve the suf- fering as the direct result of the war while American charity is heinz pour ed out to those who are indirectly bearing the burdens Of international conflict The only regret ts that such help for humanity could not be rem dered without being preceded by war.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
IFs Easy--If You Know Or. Edwards'
 Olive Tablets.

Tho secret of keeping young is to feel young-to do this you must watch your liver and bowels-@there no need of having a sallow complexion-dark rings under your eyes, -pimples--a bu- ious look in your face-dull eyes with no sparkle.
 Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inac- tive bowels and liver.
 Dr. Edwards, weI1-known physi- clan in Ohio, perfected vegetable compound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years.
 pr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub- Stitute for calomel, are gentle in their action, yet always effective.
 They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone, by tom ing up the liver and clearing the sys- tenn of impurities.

| do you know, that woman started right | in to tell me all the things they had already and she made fun of them and talked in the most scandalous way about them. I had thought of get ting bonbon spoon or a pickle fork and you'd have thought she actually knew what l was thinking, for al- most the first thing she said was that they had dozens of bonbon spoons al- ready and that the general public l must think they were going to subsist entirely on pickles from the number of pickle forks they had.
 T might give her something in cut glass--she's crazy about it. but then there's Mary Perkins. couldn't give one something that cost a lot more than the thing I give the other. It seems like such a farce, for I'd really like to give Mary Perkins something nice. So annoying!
 Why, my dear, of course they'll know what things cost Everybody knows. Of course. 1t isn't tbe value of the gift; It's just the sentiment and all that, but everybody knows the prices I can't help it. I'm not re- sponsible for the way the world runs. Things would be quite different if I were. I can assure you.
 SLoutse, you simply must not put your feet on daddy's trousers I'll be ashamed to walk home with him.
 T do wish could remember who sent me that nightmare of a jardiniere last Christmas. Why, of course, you remember it. It was the most atro- cious looking thing that ever saw. I gave one scream of horror when I opened the box and then the card got lost and never could remember who sent it. If I was sure it came from somebody that wouldn't ever find out I'd give 1t to Stella Payne. She has to to add to the confusion by marrying next week. She loves to clutter up the house with useless horrors and she's so sweet natured she'd think anything you gave her was lovely.
 And then there are Jane's twins. I must say. -ayen if she is your sister, 1t seems rather inconsiderate in people to have twins. Of course there are millions of things for babies-too many of them. My head began to feel like a perfect beanpot. I couldn't de- eide on thing.
 'Oh, dear me, here we are at the station: And thought you'd give me some ideas about your own people at least. I suppose I'll have to spend an- other day shopping.
 Well. maybe it would be better to take cab to the house. but it seems foolish. because I'll be dead long be- fore to-morrow's over and we ought not to spend any money on unneces- sary things."-Chicago News

Triple Tragedy

Los Angeles, Jan. THE police
are unable to throw light on triple
shooting at the Valdamar hotel last
night, resulting in the deaths of w.
II. Melton, an attorney, Mrs. Mary
Graves Cox and daughter Florence,
aged twelve. 1t is understood Mel
ton and Mrs. Cox, who was divorcee
were to have been married. A diary,
apparently kept by the woman, may
help to a solution. 1t contained en-
tries from January 1 to 5, indicat-
ing that she was i'll and disappointed,
although the cause of disappointment
was not mentioned. The police think
there is no doubt that the woman kill
ed the others and committed suicide.
1t became known today that Melton
was married for seven years and liv-
ed with his wife, who identified the
body. She said they had been perfect
ly happy, and that she knew nothing
of Mrs. Cox.

Gunter declared all the Bavaria's crew
who aided in saving should have a

were afraid to launch boat and made
no effort to save them.
"Calvo sighted us Sunday" said
Gunter, "after fooling around a while
a boat was lowered and there was
then some more fooling around. Fin
ally the boat was picked up. Then

organization committee resumed
work today. President George Baker
of the First National of New York,
argued for sufficiently large bank
here to meet any situation and sug-
gested capitalization of twenty-three
millions. President Stephen Baker of

in New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Atlanta, Chicago, st. Louis, Miineap-
oils and one on the Pacific coast.
President James Martindale of the

eight banks were necessary. He sug-
gested a bank in New York, with
branches in Boston and Philadelphia
to cover the entire east. All wit
nesses agreed the New York bank
should have the greatest capital.
