;l.ouid Declare War ON Turkey.

\
Dr.. James Il. Barton, secretary of
the American Board of Commission
ers for Foreign Missions, has made
public u letter in which he opposes
a declaration of war against Tur-
key One objection he makes is that
If war was declared Germany might
seize the property of American mis-
sonaries in Turkey TO use for their
military advantage. He thinks the
United States could not send any
soldiers to Turkey and the loss of
property would be the only result
Against this argument it might be
said that American property is not
safe in Turkey anyway. Certainly
American missionaries have not ac-
complished much if this country can
not safely declare itself against the
Turkish atrocities without sacrificing
It's property in Turkey.
Another claim by DR.. Barton is
that Turkey is friendly to the United
States, and we should not declare
,
hostility to them. This is a weak
claim because Turkish friendship
has no value. 1t will not insure fair
and honorable treatment for a min
ute and is not worth cuftivating.
To DR. Bartons claim that declar-
atioa of war might lead to- further
atrocities against the non-M ohamme-
dan peoples in that country is not
strong because it would be very diff
ficult for any worse atrocities to be
com mitted than have been while
Turkey was at peace with this
country.
TIE unspeakable Turk is blot on
the continent OF Europe and a men
ace to civilization anywhere. 1t
should rot be allowed to exist and it
would be to the credit of this coun-
try to say it had been real influ-
cncc in removing this stain and dis
grace from the European continent.

What Russia Nav Do,

The eyes of TIE world are still upon
Russia because people everywhere
realize the tremendous possibilities in
that country. 1t is evidently the in
dictators Of the country. A news
dispatch states that the Bolsheviki
stituent Assembly and threaten to ar
rest any of their opponents who try
is further announced that the Con-
stituent Assembly has been opened
with about 400 of it's 1900 members in
attendance. This small minority is
safely assumed TO be Bolsheviki men,
be-s. The intention OF these radicals
and foes of established government to
control the country is painfully evil
dent.
There is another side to the situa-
ton, however, as the movement to
overthrow the Bolshevfki is supported
by the Cossacks and nearly all the
leaders Of the other parties in that
country. These opponents hope to
establish a government at home and
re- establish the Russian army as :,
real force against the Germans
There is reason to hope the force.
of lew and order will prevail in Rus
STA. They undoubtedly constitute Il
large majority of the people of Rus
STA. They are slower than the radi
calls who realize their only hope is
in sudden action in Selling the powers
Of government and terrorizing the
people into submission. The people
once aroused will surely overcome
them and there is evidence the people
arc becoming aroused. OF course
stability cannot be quickly establish
ed in Russia. Its people are not edu-
Gated in government They must
make many mistakes before learning
the right way, but we are confident
that in the end Russia will have q
safe democratic government

Universal Training Needed.

Secretary Of War Baker will be
prominent in public discussion for 3
while as the result of his declaration
in his annual report against univers-
al military training. His remarks on
this subject cannot be called less
than Utopian because he is looking
for a time when war shall be no
more. For America to plan and
prepare for such a condition is Wis
ionary and impractical.
Only a few years ago we were con-
fident that international wars were to
be made impossible. There was good
ground for this confidence as The
Hague Tribunal was concentrating in
ternational agreements that promis
ed immunity from war. This coun-
try was successfully negotiating ar
bitration treaties with the leading
powers of the world and it certainly
looked as though law would be sub
stituted for war. But like bolt
from the Dlue SKY deTIiidIly dcCidfeu
treaties mere scraps of paper and
International peace was at an end.
This country refused to believe the
German declaration and persisted up
to the outbreak of the war to pre-
pare for the inevitable. Our optim-
ism has cost us tremendous sums of
money and will cost us thousands of
lives.
This experience should teach us
the folly of unpreparcdncss and that
"a genuine desire for peace will not
protect us from war The centuries
old war spirit of Germany will moi
cease With this war It viii break

Goyefnncnt Investigations

Congress is authorizing investiga-
tions of the War Department and of
the sugar and coal shortages. The
Investigation of the sugar and coal
shortages will be in charge of per-
sons hostile to Mr.. Hoover and his
work. This we think, is unfortunate
because Mr.. Hoover has given great
amount of service to the country apd
at this time. 1t may be he has not
done the right thing at all times-feW
individuals can do that-and if help
full suggestions can be made to him
they should be. The task he has UNI
dertaken is tremendous and the work
he has done should not be disturbod
or he hindered by mere opposition.
Secretary of War Baker faces
thorough examination and possibly
severe criticism His condemnation
of the Lane PEABODY by which the
coal operators had arranged to sup
ply sufficient coal for the country
may find that it is this member Of
the cabinet and not the fuel admins
tration is responsible for the terrible
shortage of coal that New England
is suffering.
In his own department the secre-
tary of war will have many serious
questions to answer. Inefficiency
wrong policy and red tape are three
of the charges made against the de-
partment The fact this country is
turning out only 5000 rifles day, a
pitifully inadequate number, the con-
ditions as to big guns, munitions and
clothing for the soldiers will be in
ton must not hinder construction
work under way. Probably Sec. Ba
ker has done as well as any citizen
accustomed to the ways of peace and
entirely ignorant OF handling war
could be expected to do. The in
vestigation must not affect the good
work he has done or delay single
minute the supplies necessary for the
successful prosecution of the war.
There is danger that the probing
of conditions by men no better in
formed regarding war may inject
mere inexperience and unsa tisfaetory
results and the congressman who I'M
dertake this Investigation have q
delicate task to perform. The army
wants guns, clothing and munitions
and no investigation should deprive
them Ct these necessities, but any &C
ton that will expedite their produc-
tion and distribution will be vel
coined.
