The Harvest Moon.
(BOStOn POSt).

We have not recognized it, perhaps, but the slender moon which put in appearance two or three evenings ago is the great and glorious Harvest Moon of sentiment and poesy and be- neficent tradition. It does not seem to count for much just yet-but wait it will be full of portent later; let it grow.
 Why should we have a full-mo oon season just about this time of the year? Once month, with great regularity, this satellite of the earth swells out from a crescent into a full orb. But it does not keep an exact pace as to schedule; it's orbital motion about the earth misses about 50 min utes. This is called it's "retardation."
 Just now the moon is making up for this delinquency; it's ''retardatiOn" during the year past-Which does not mean that it has been going slower, but simply that the times of it's per formance have suffered a change for us-causes a change in the illumina- ton which we see.
 The autumnal equinox, when the Harvest Moon reaches it's supremacy, is about two weeks distant. This is the time when the moon makes good for any imaginary delinQuencles.

Turks and Russians FIqht Or Oasis-Irke Baltleqr0und

Washington, D. C., Sept. 6.-"The wild mountain district of Dersim ly- ing between the two branches of the | Fuphrates river known as the Frat Su and the Murad Su, and entered i from the north through E,v7ingar is now an oasis-lille ha tlo$Ev~7l1.>- for 1 Turks and Russians. TGn, rugged re- | gjon," says today's -1s5 geography 1 bulletin of the National Geographic society, "is in striking contrast to the parched plains and mountains of kurdistan which surround it. Here one fnds rich pastures. ample water rom cold mountain streams, and the grateful shade of chestnut and wal nut groves while the homes of 65, 900 nomad Kurds are built of stone in stead of mud, as in neighboring re- gioDs.
 "The inhabitants of this area, which embraces nearly 1000 square miles, are supposed to be of Arm enian stock and are divided into no less than for ty-five tribes, the religious chiefs of which are known as Seids.
 H"1'he Turks will receive little en- couragement or assistance from these pastoral DersintH who are derisively called 'Kezelbash' (red-head) by the orthodox Mohamm edans. The Der simli style themselves vol oushaghi,' or Children of the True Path,' being followers Of the Shiite branch of the Moslem faith. Their hatred of the Turks as compered with their dislike of Russians is graphically described by noted travelec, Capt. l.. Molly neux-Seel, who relates that on one oc- casion a certain Seid confded to him that it was more meritorious to kill one Turk than thirty six Christians.'
 Many of the towns of Dersim are today but shadows of their former prosperity and importance. A typical instance is found in Mazgird, perched in a little valley 1000 feet above sea level, now place with $50 stone built houses, largely inhabited by Armen- ians. If we are to accept the testi- mony of this towns advertising tailor, long since dead, the place was once several times it's present size for on

A Great Tennis Year
(NeW York Tribune,)

Not so very many years ago tennis Ia bored under popular delusion which ranked it as dull and aristo- cratic proceeding, more or less com parable to crOQuet and cricket and quite unworthy the attention of real human beings. This year marks the final destruction of this notion. The transfer of the national tournament to Forest Hills has undoubtedly ing to see how this characterization of the game has helped the game itself.
 Probably never before in the history of American tennis-barring the years of British invasion-has the cham pionship stood so wide open or have so many players of the first rank fought for it. California still main- tains it's edge on the proceedings, but hy the narrOweSt of margins; of the four likeiest cOntenders left to play Johnston, Griffin, Williams and Church, two are western and two are eastern. It is a countrywide interest that has raised the level of the game bringing new names to the front and old champions at their keenest,
 The new breed of tennis fans is one interesting sideshow of the new era Lapses in cheering manners do occur in consequence; you have to under stand the game to realiez why it all is wrong to cheer in the middle of a point. But the lapses are exceptions r~~~S -~S~aN 4sc~~~ z-~~~ f" rsrr~"~"N- ~~~---

Incidentally, there are many natural-rock fortresses or cita- dels scattered throughout Dersirn.
 'Dersim is land of many fables and legends Typical of the hearsay
 history of the country is the story of the excavation of the village of Der Oman, as recounted by Capt. Moly- neux-Seel:
 Forty years ago there lived in Der Ohah village a certain Armenian Me lik, very rich and influential. who had acquired such renown for his wisdom and learning that the Kurds when ever a dispute arose among them. used to appeal to him and accept his deci sion thereon. One day, forty Kurds from Kutte Dere came to the MeIik and asked his decision in the case of 8 dispute which had arisen among them and threatened to lead to bloody conflict. During their stay at Der Chan, the Kurds one day ven tured to address some words of love to the beautiful daughter-in-law of the Melilz as she was drawing water from the well. The young Armen- ians of the village were so incensed at this that the same night they mas sacred the entire Kurd deputation: then, fearing a terrible vengeance. they collected their animals and port able possessions, and, abandoning their homes, took refuge in some will lages around Erzingan. The fugitives numbered about 300; only a few old men with wives remained in the will lage, and of these one survivor, who must be at least one hundred years old, remains at the present day"

Too Much War Correspondent.
(New London DaV.)

The war correspondents are an in dustrious group, but there is little for them to write about in Europe, and so, for the most part, they write about themselves. The correspondent who writes for the newspaper press keeps within .reasona ble limits in describing his psychology under fire and his sensations when he looks out over a French landscape. The war corres- pondents who are writing for the periodicals often got more correspond ent into their landscapes than they do war, and the readers of their articles are subjected to a terrible fire of language to the general effect that the correspondent was afraid when the guns went off, but hated to show it. Presently there will be a league for more war news and less news of correspondents.

 Kings. They are elected, and hold by good behavior or the sword Greeks not yet six years old can remem Der when the father of the Constantine who IS now facing a revolution was chosen to succeed another elective Klng deposed for cause. The process
 ot substituting son for father may yet save Bulgaria as well as Greece from ruin.
 Three kings with their courts and
 army staffs thought Germany invin- clble. Bulgarian Ferdinand's people were willing to attack Serbia because they had been robbed after the Bal

He might have saved Southern Serbia and thousands of people of all ages whose bones rot on the mountain roads to the sea- Greece can still help restore Serbia and take a fee in Greek-inhabited islands; per haps a foothold in Asia Minor
 COnstantines military reputation is mostly legend a Constantine was to march into Constantinop1e. He is brave, a common trait. He never forgave Venize1os for humbling his family after the army revolt in 1909 The real heroes of the Balkan wars were Gen. Eydoux and the French tutors of the Greek army; and Eleu- therios Venizelos, whose reforms in 1910-12 remade Greece, who piloted her to larger gain than the wars yielded any other nation.
 This remarkable man was called to guide Greece when he was not a m ember of the BOule, nor even a Greek, but Turkish subject. Almost in a day he passed from a camp of Cretan rebels to a place in the sight of the world. He was bold enough to advise Constantine to yield Kavala to Bulgaria, as a condition of larger gains. His understanding now with Zaimis, once Cretan commissioner, seems perfect. He may presently re- sume office, masking under constitu- tional forms, if it prevails what is really an armed revolution.
 Constantine thought he was right; he defied the constitution; he usurped the power which belonged to the people; he may pay the penalty.

 The public has gained a new thrill Ter to watch-next to polo the best there is-and tennis has taken on a new interest and success. All of which seems a sufficient answer to those croakers who foresaw the down fall and degeneration of the game when it was removed from the select inaccessibility of Newport to Forest Hills, fourteen minutes from Broad

An Example to Christians.
Brooklyn Eagle).

From stories told by Clarence But Ter and William Hoffman, teachers at the Beirut colleges in Syria, who have just got back to the United States, the only distinction the Turks make between their own soldiers and their prisoners is to give the latter double portion of mutton, because Christians are supposed to be heavier eaters of meat than Mohammedans
 If this is a general custom, as it seems to be, Turkey is setting a most admirable example to both Russia and Germany, an example that even France and England would find 1t ,r+ersA w1ai4A to consider.

No Empty Dinner Pail'' Here. (New York Commercial.

No better proof of the prosperity of the whole country can be given than the absence of talk about the empty dinner pail. The only work people out of employment are those on strike and even the garment work CTS of New York could finu plenty to do if they would turn to something else or go elsewhere. There IS no lack of work, and lack of employment is due to labor troubles. Those who have felt the ammunition factories and powder mills find it easy to get other work.
 In the midst of this election cam paign the unemployed would be ex- plotted as they were in previous presi- dential years if there were any. All the terrors of coming ruin are bla- zoned on the pages of partisan news papers, but no photographs of women and children starving and homeless because the factories are closed are on exhibition. Never before in living memory has the full dinner pail failed to materialize as a campaign cry. The pail is full to overf1owing this year and is likely to remain so.
 It is probable that prices of mer- chandise will decline when peace is restored in Europe, but lower prices will stimulate consumption and lower the cost of living. Labor costs will have to come down With manufac- tured goods but labor will be just as well off in the same necessaries of life can be bought for days pay. Com mon steel products now worth $47 to $50 ton can be produced at profit for $20 a ton less and a lower price would certainly help the building trades and manufacturers of agricul- tural implements, machinery, automo ibles lOcom otives, steel railroad ears and tools of all descriptions, provided the country remained prosperous. h. Hated prices do not help domestic business any more than do unprofit able prices. Fair prices are best for all though business men naturally and properly sell in the best market The point to be kept in sight is that de- clines from the high levels now pre- vailing should not disturb confidence, but should lead to expansion.
 Every workman, every manufac- turer farmer, every business man should accumulate cash surplus while wages and profits are phenom- finally high. When business is read justed to changed conditions those who have ready cash and good credit will find as rich opportunities as have been offered to them in the past eighteen months if they are ready to seize them. The future will look brighter the day after the Novem- Der elections no matter which side wins. After the war is over we will have two or three wears of good trade in peace products including live stocks, cotton and other agricultural products while the restoration of Eu- rope is in progress. If labor CO., operates with capital the dinner pail will be we'll filled during that time. What will follow after that will de- pend on the enterprise and foresight of American business men and the use we make 2of1 the vast wealth we are now accumulating.

THEIR OWN FAULT.

Now that the atmosphere has cleared, the railroad managers who refused to accept President Wilson's original proposal in the strike contro- versy are beginning to see the error of their way. Had they accepted the first proposition which was that the eight-hour law be put into effect as an experiment while a competent com mission watched it's effects they would not now be bowling calamity. The four brOtherhoods of railroad en- ployes were willing to remain at work if the railroad presidents conceded that much. The executives would not give in because in doing so they feared they would lose forever the power of arbitration. Yet, it was pontied out, they wanted to arbitrate points that had been arbitrated many years pre- vious and which had been decided in favor of the men. The men were right in their contention not to arbi- trate issues that had already been set tied.
 As a result of the stubbornness on the part of the railroad heads they are today whining and bemoaning their fate. The nasty legislation passed by Congress will do them ir- reparable harm, they claim It may be that this is sO It may be that the operating expenses of the rail- roads will be so great under the new | order of things that the increased salaries cannot be met from the roads 1 exchequers. Had the whole plan been allowed to go as originally formulated this cry could never be heard. Every | step of the way would be felt, every move would be watched, and the final 1 outcome recorded so that a just dis 1 tribution might be made. And while | all this experiment was going on the railroad brotherhoods would be get ting what they asked for, which was considerably less than they have now secured, with the understanding that 1 if the plan was a failure they would lose some of their advantages. The whole thing in a nutshell explains the hardheadedness of the railroad off, cials. They would not listen to req son.
