Tommy Atkins Believes He Will
Win Out If Tobacco Supply Lasts

there was a Tommy, who during the
retreat from Mons was lucky enough
to find horse. lie kept astride for
a whole day, making fair progress.
Then he traded the nag to an artii-
leryman for package OF cigarettes.
Just as he knew would be the case,
the Tommy was able, with a cigar
ette in his mouth, to make faster
progress afoot than astride.
Even civilian lie has been drawn
upon by Tommy to move the British
public to contributions. Following
the fall of Liege last year, he asserts
that an aged man with two grand
children lmped into Ostend after a
tramp of over 100 miles. He had 10
money and only what food was Civ
en- him by charitable people along
the way.
But | had one thing" he told the
Tomn.ies al Ostend, that sustained
me wonderfully; my pipe and plenty
OF tobacco | don't believe | should
have been able to reach Ostend alive
il | had not been able to light up
when | wanted to-.
What worries Tommy in his pr $
ent agitation to secure tobacco con-
tributions. is the French. He insists
the French tobacco is vile. Yet he
has to admit that the French 'poilus'
fights just as bravely as he does. His
only explanation is that possibly the
French soldier has some other source
Of inspiration besides his pipe. II
which event. .he argues, the British
should contribute all the more liber-
ally, first that he may not be forced
to have recourse to French tobacco.
and secondly that he may not be rem
dered any less brave than the French.

trade and industry would be likely to
want Constantinople placed on the
same basis as other parts of Russia.
Russia has two tariff schedules, prac-
tically maximum and minimum one.
The minimum applies to countries with
which she has commercial treaties. or
with which she maintains an under
standing, as in the case of the United
States.
In full possession of Constantinople.
Russia might want to enforce pro-
scriptive tariff against Germany and
Austria. She also might want the bene-
fit of the free Constantinople market
for some of her few manufactured
products in competition with the prod
ucts of her present allies.
The textile mills at Lodz and War
saw doubtless would be able to supply
all the cotton cloths that are needed,
and this would not be agreeable to
Great Britain. This is one of the mat
ters for future adjustment. but those
who understand the trade situation in
the Levant know that it is likely to be
in mind when British statesmen talk
about gratifying Russian aspirations in
the Mediterranean with a mental reser-
walton as to the sovereignty of Con-
stantinople.
Under Russian control, while the
course might not be popular. it would
be possible to maintain tariff sepa :
rate and distinct from the tariff OF
Russia proper. When Finland was an
sorbed, politically and territorially, she
was allowed to keep her autonomous
tariff for the time being. This gave

more difficulty. Yet their nationals
doubtless will be protected. though
possibly they will be glad enough to
pass on their contracts to the citizens
or subjects of the triumphant nations.
They will hardly have capital of their
own. Some of the most valuable con-
tracts are held by German and Austro-
Hungarian companies.
Russian control of Constantinople
would mean little that is different from
international control in whatever re-
lates to commercial and Industrial en-
terprises. Russia has not the means to
carry on enterprises.
This may be said of all the countries
in the bankruptcy that will engulf
them whenever the war shall end: but
the difference is that the other coun-
tries have capital already invested in
Constantinop1e, and invested capital
sometimes finds the means of draw
ing a little more to itself.
F'ina ncial control of Constantinople
and of the adjoining territory on the
European side would appear to be
largely in the hands of France. This
is because of the large amounts OF
French money advanced in the forms
of loans. These loans are not munIc1-
pal They cover the whole of the OF
toman empire as it is today.

had confidence. and IT never was
matter OF great difficulty for Turkey
to secure loans. since the European
powers, whose nationals advanced the
money, practically guaranteed the
principal and interest by taking out
of the hands Of Turkey the collection
and application of certain revenues.
This was in line with the capitua-
tions under which Turkey exercised
only a limited sovereignty in her own
territory, and the foreign governments
maintained their own post offices and
permitted Turkey to levy tariff duties
only by their gracious consent.
The revenues which were collected
and disbursed by the public debt ad-
ministration included that from to-
bacco and spirits. The tobacco reste
or state monopoly, which has so great
ly interested tobacco growers in the
United States, was in effect a monopoly
of foreign governments, rather than of
Turkey. since Turkey had SO little to
do with the revenues derived from the
export tax on tobacco.
The last blanket loan to the Turkish
government was negotiated in France
in 1919, and was for s155,000,000. Some
of this was to take up the floating
debt incurred during the war with the
Balkans. Other French loans covered

IS being hinted at, even more than that

musicians who dwell on the higher
plane OF music, who IN way ride
upon the clouds OF music and perhaps
listen to the music of the spheres.
These ideas and Impressions are

that is, men who have simply mas
tered or become expert in the manipu-
alton Of a musical Instrument and who
apply TO II oegree OF understanding

steal reasoning-but by those lofty
browed men who evolve what are called
musical ideas. reduce them TO the forms
whereby they may become audible TO
other men and who dream and theorize
on the innost parts Of music. II is a
subject that lies outside the under
standing and perhaps outside the com

is pleased by certain sequences of
sounds which they call tunes. or those
whose musical understanding and ap-
probation have. by frequent hearing
of what is called good music" been
so developed that elaborate harmonies
and complexities of musical sounds ap-
pear beautiful. which to others may
mean nothing but mere sound unpleas-
ing, perhaps displeasing, to the ear.
One phase of this discussion of
new music and music that has never
yet been written concerns the piano,
and the statement has been made by a
