would lose not only large territories,
but the needed support of all Indian
peoples. In reward for Turkeys &C.
tivities the Turks were to receive ter
ritories in Egypt and northern Africa
at the expense of the enemy. There
were to be territorial readjustments,
with Bulgaria giving back to Turkey
great portion Of Macedonian terri
tory wrested from her in the past
decade. The Turkish treasury was to
be fed by the stronger one in Berlin.
i Black sea regions were to be complete
| " dominated by the Turks. Roseate
dreams of unparalleled prosperity in
future years swung the Turkish gov
eminent to the side of Germany in Oc-
tober, 1914.
But instead of well filed larder,
and great empire achieved through
the might of the scimitar, Turkey to-
day could be in no worse condition
financially, economically, or socially.
! Her armies failed to reach Egypt and
were in turn driven from the greater
portion of Palestine, one of the Turks
big revenue producing countries. The
dominion over the Arabs was lost when
the holy places of Arabia in June,
1916, revolted against further oppres-
sion by Constantinople. The British
swept forward from the Persian gulf
and captured Kut Ell Amara and subse-
quently Bagdad. The regions of Ar
menia were overrun by the Russians,
the entire campaign in Mesopotamia
and the Caucasus being extremely cost
" to the Turks from all standpoints.
Turkey was recompensed by Germany
through the infamous Brest-Litovsk
treaty by extension Of influence in the
northern Caucasus, but even this ter
ritory will be lost under terms the al
lies are sure to impose. The vast re-
gion of Armenia, which has been ex-
plotted to the uttermost over the
bodies of hundreds of thousands of
Christian natives, will be forever freed
from Turkish yoke. The Dardanelles,
Turkeys most priced possession, is to
be internationalized.
Turkey will go out of the present
struggle only with the memories of
things that might have been had the
kaiser's dreams come true, and with
her suffering peoples bemoaning the
day that their leaders led them astray.

sBig Business" INDICATED.

The principles Of "big business"
have been indicated by this war, and
the American electorate has probably
been educated to look on these prin-
ciples as sound sense. The unifcation
and coordination of production, trans
portation and distribution Of goods
have been made necessary by war con-
ditions, and unless the signs are mis-
leading the United States will not
slump back into the slack, loose joint
ed, costly and inefficient ante-bellum
ways. Much that is needful to be done
remains to be done, but the lines along
which progress is to be made are ap-
parent to men of broad gauge vision.
The United States is to take its place
as a commerce nation in competition
with the British empire, Japan, France
and some other nations which are not
yet highly organized industrially, but
whose destiny points that way. Its
success depends on its efficiency in re-
lation to the efficiency of its competi-
tors, and that word efficiency" is but
a convenient speech-symbol for cheap
ness plus excellence of production plus
cheapness of distribution. Duplication
of effort, lost motion, unnecessary over
head charges and rehandling of goods
by Intermediates in transit between
producer and consumer must be elimi-
mated. Methods of production in many
lines of goods have been carried in this
country to a fairly satisfactory con-
dition. The methods of distribution
have been generally crude and costly.
Hosts of middiemen, jobbers, agents
and agencies maintained by commits
sions on sales have INSTRUCTED the
channels Of distribution.
National opposition to the big pro-
duction and distribution idea, which
came to be called in hostile way "the
trust idca," was warranted in degree
because in many cases the idea was
given an improper slant in that its ad-
vocatcs often directed their efforts to
beating down competition by selling
below cost and by preferential freight
rates instead of lowering cost by i'm
proving processes of production, by
standardizing production, by "quan-
tity output" and by cutting out the
kinks and curves in the channels be-
tween producer and consumer. Some
times the advocates of "big business"
went astray on another unsound idea,
which was that the way to make the
most money was to increase the price
to the consumer instead Of reducing
the price to him by lowering the cost
of production and simplifying distri-
button.
The world competition in which
the United States is to engage at the
close of the war insures that the cor
rect idea shah prevail and that goods,
whether it be corn, wheat, tobacco, cot
ton, steel, textiles, dyes, glass, cutlery,
locomotives, automobiles, steamships,
airplanes or what not, shall be pro-
duced by the most effective means and
put into the hands of consumers by
the most direct route.

The Bond Campaign.

The success of the bond campaign in
. the District has come to depend in a
3 great measure upon a house to- house
and personal solicitation plan. 1t is a
plan which requires a moro intimate
,. knowledge of human nature than is
needed for working up mass enthu-
siasm. The knowledge required for
that kind of work is a knowledge of
- crowd psychology and the ability to
raise the spirits of the people and to
= e1alt them to the point where they will
open their pocketbooks. Ability to
make people see the light and truth in
this way is more often met with than
the faculty to make them understand
= the right in house-to- house, vis-a-vis
.eonfab, unless the canvasser and the
canvassee happen to be known to each
other. In stirring up the mass en-
thusiasm in the spirit of the stirrer is
the main requisite. In getting results
in a personal interview tact is the
chief requisite, and tact is good deal
rarer quality than enthusiasm.
The responsibility for subscribing
o the District quota of the loan rests
upon every householder in the city.
The government must have the money,
pn but will take it as an interest-bear-
'~aing loan, instead of taking it as a
tax. 1t is patriotic responsibility
that rests today upon every Washing
ton household, and no war, no crisis of
tho American government, has ever
found the Washington family a slack
> er. It has never made any difference
:. whether the Washington family lives
in big house on a fine street or in a
little house on an unpaved street; it
does its duty, and then some. Such a
family takes a sense of pride in doing
its duty no matter where it lives.
1t is now the duty of every home in
- Washington to hold little council
around the table. 1t may be the parlor
To- table, or it may be the supper table
after the dishes have been cleared
= away. That council must determine
how much the family can subscribe
for the loan. Full cash payment will
not be necessary, so that future earn
ings-earnings that have not yet come
to hand-can be put into the loan. In
these little conferences Washingto-
mans are going to show that they have
the money and the earning capacity to
take these bonds, that they know all
- about their value as investments, and
that they can see their patriotic duty
~ and do it promptly, gladly and fully
without being harangued about it from
morning until night. When the solici-
tation committee calls at the home,
meet it in a friendly spirit, for that
IS the spirit in which it was sent out
on its mission. Talk things over free
1y and frankly and subscribe for as
much of this loan as you think you
can take. And don't be chicken heart
ed in deciding how much you can
take.

To secure some attendants to furnish

When your monocle nervously dropped
