THE WAR A CLEARING HOUSE
FOR DEMOCRACY

THE problem before German statesman.
L ship is TO offset the favorable effect
which the Entente's candor in stating
terms had upon neutrals.
The most obvious reioinder for Berlin
is to ask, Why is no mention made of
the fate of German colonies? Do the
Allies propose to keep them? The Ian.
guage of the Entente note undoubtedly
implies that the colonies are to be re.
turned Every other territorial claim is
set down; the colonies are ignored, as if
with the implication that their integrity
is assured in the sweeping phrase that
il has never been the Allies design ito

man peoples and their political disappear,
ance" The colonies We're German soil
and the undisputed stamping ground of
German peoples before the war. They
should be given back Just as Hanover
should be given back IL it We're taken
But no one is sure that the British GOV.
ernment intends to give them back. and
it is here that Berlin can apply the spur
to extract more British eandor.
The colonies can be considered the
earnest Of indemnity. If a defeated Ger
many could pay only half the indemnity
demanded she might be asked to pay
the rest in colonies. But If that is the
idea It ought to be made plain now, so
that the world may have time to esti-
mate the money value OF these vast lands,
II, indeed. a money value can be placed
upon subject peoples and their homes.
The subject IS important, because the
sentiment Is growing that the war must

PATRIOTIC ANNIVERSARIES

To the Editor Of the EUeniug Ledger:
Sir-We heartily thank you for the in.
terest that you have shown in the celebra-
tion of Franklin's birthday. In our letter
of January we called your attention to
celebrations of which we desiredy to have
intensified namely, Benjamin Franklins and
Lincolns birthdays We took up this sub
ject with the Franklin Institute, PhlosOphi-
cal Society, University of Pennsylvania,
Temple University and the Free Libraries
There were many notable features that were
not brought out in the publicity, such as the
observance by the hotels with flag and
picture display and menu card decorations.
We again want to thank you for the
notice and desire to take this means of
thanking the Poor Richard Club for its
every assistance in developing this notable
feature
I beg leave to state that we have already
corresponded with the Union League and
the Lincoln Club concerning the proper
observance for Lincoln's Birthday, and
have made arrangements with the Supern-
tendent of Public Schools to have addresses
made in the eight high schools, and other
general observances in proper keeping with
the Lincoln Birthday celebration.
We are now interesting the people who
recognize the celebration of Washingtons
Birthday, asking them to intensity their
observance on this occasion.

IN DEFENSE OF TURKEY
To the Editor Of he EUcning Ledger;

To the Editor Of the EUcnng Ledger'
Sir-Many persons. no doubt, have read
Mr. Wisnosll's note to the EVENING
LEDGER stating that "the allied demand
that Turkey be pushed off the map ought
to be praised and applauded by every lover
of civilization" | have greatly been amused
by his statements This Is what l answer
Mr. Wisnoski:
Primum I wish to say that Mr. Wis
nosSps views are absolutely prejudiced,
local and extremely ignorant, The fact that
the Turks in the twelfth century tried TO
overrun Europe is not to be taken as a
lust for conquest, but as religious enter
prise, viz, the Turks, being Mohammedans
and in greater numbers than the ChrlsI'ans
at that time thought that they were the
adherents of the only and real religion, MO-
hammedansm and that the so-called
Christians were the inhdels. In TINS
enterprise the Turks did not succeed
and the world was entirely enveloped by
the thought of Christianity. Please tell me-
then. why should this offense be imputed to
the discredlt of the Turks, when the civ
ilized Spanards actually killed men, women
and children whose religious beliefs did not
coincide with theirs. Yet Spain now IN
the eyes of the lover of civilization is
nation that is clean and worthy and de-
serving of remaining upon the face or the
earth | will take another nation one
which we all know, hence 1t is needless 10
mention the name. This nation is comprised
lions of these people. acting In the eyes OF
the Government justly, have burned others
homes, murdered people, tortured to death
mothers, polluted daughters and perpetrated
the most incredible atrocities Why? Be
cause they are fond OF seeing the other
peoples blood. This nation is at all times
honored highly, its cause is upheld at every
instance and its daily report of the war
stricken Europe is placed at the top OF
other nations. Why? Because the people
wish to regard that nation in the light OF
honesty. tranquility and integrity.
Secundum ct denique. Above l have
spoken of quondam days. will now speak
of the future and present Turkey in its
present state is not the plague spot Of
Europe. the cause of many shameful wars
etc. but on the contrary the victim of these
struggles, as we know. Mr. WlsnosHi is
not the only one at present whose thoughts
are so vehement against Turkey.
l. therefore, appeal to every reader TO
ponder over carefully both sides OF the con-
troversy and see whether or not many
graver offenses have not been committed
by other nations, which are not repeatedly
referred TO because these nations are omnip-
otent. while Turkey is depressed and ham
pered by the biased world
