 Before this preciptated by the Huns acts the Sultan possessed only narrow strip of Flu ropean territory-the trife that left him the conclusion of the Balkan Small as it was, how it sufced to protect Consantnope from attack from the north long Bulgaria remained part of the "Quadruple Alliance"
 The Turk will lose that little stretch of ground. He also will lose Constantinope, for it is inconcevabe that the peace conference will to return him the wonder city over which he has brooded like evil spirit for centuries
 The world will be cleaner, more attractive place in which to live with the Turk eliminated. The Turk, himself, would be better for change of role from that of conqueror to that of conquered Under an intelligent progressive, just foreign adminstra- tion there may be some hope for him. Education may render him less brute. and fair treatment may cne him to develop the resources in which his own provinces abound.
 A vista of hope will be opened up for the sub jected in Turkey by the Sutan's defeat. When and Arab. Armenian and Greek-all will enjoy re- newed opportunity for advancement and safety in life and fortune such has not been known by these peoples for generations.
 There have been repeated suggestions that Constan tnope should be internationalized. Now that the city has become of the questions upon the fate of which the joint peace conference will pass, this sug gestion may become an actuality

FOUR CHILDREN
DESERVE PITY
Are Taken to an Orphans Home by
Consent Of the Parents, One of
Whom Is Well Known to
police.

Verne Paul Morris, Evelyn Morris,
Tres5ie Marie Morris and Roy Morris
are four children who deserve the
sympathy of everybody.
To get them out of a life of squalor
and misery here with their parents,
ARRANGEMENTS were made TO take
them today to a children's home in
Des Moines. While they were being
washed and cleaned up generally for
the transition, the visiting nurse dis
covered that they had scarlet fever.
The agent for the children's home
had no place here in which to quar-
antine them. The parents said that
they had relinquished the children to
the officer of the society and that
they would do nothing for the four
children who had gone out OF their
charge and duty. Finally kind
woman took them in and a good
home in which to be sick and quar-
antined was provided for them.
Their father is well known to the
police and has not been making much
of a living for the family. The parents
consented to the removal of the chill
dren after negotiations conducted by
the police and Burton Wilkinson,
president of the Humane society here.
Two other children were previously
sent TO a children's home.

Sermon by Mitchell Last Evening on
Good Stuff In People Mixed With
the Poor stuff In
Environment.

That there is king hidden in every
human being was the statement Evan
gelist Mitchell made last night in his
sermon at the Trinity Methodist
church. He took for his theme He
Hath Hid Himself Among the Stun, !"
this having reference to the time OF
the coronation of King Saul, the frst
king Of ancient Israel. The evangelist,
who spoke to a full auditorium again
last night. said in part:
mo matter how far down In sin .
man has gone, and no matter how
shattered his moral makeup may be.
there still remain in the depths Of his
being kfngly qualities that are hid
among the stuff Of his failures and his
sins. Yonder in Bedford jail sat the
most profane man on record; God
spoke to him, and he came out from
among the stuff and wrote book sec
ond only to the Bible, Pilgrims Prog
ress. On log in gypsy camp sat
a little gypsy boy; Mr.. Torrey came
by and laid his hand on his head and
said, Perhaps the Lord will make you
a preacher; the lad looked up and
smiled, and in later years he was con-
rerted in the Salvation Army and
came out from among the stuff OF sin
and became the world-renowned Gyp-
sly Smith.
The Stuff Was in Him.
TWO little boys climbed on freight
train one snowy morning on their way
to the orphans home: when asked for
ticket they had none. but were per-
mitted to ride the few miles to the
home by the kindly conductor; they
remained at the home few years;
one Of them drifted into Chicago and
became great baseball star. and one
night, sitting on curb near the Pa
cifc Garden mission in Chicago, he
listened to a street meeting and fol-
lowed into the mission hall, where he
was converted; he soon became an

ever addressed in the city of Chicago.
