Greeks In Turkish Territory.

Professor Andreade Of the Univer-
sity Of Athens, who is specialist on
the extent of Greek citizenship beyond
the Greek frontiers-in Macedonia
and the other Balkans, In Turkey,
Syria and Asia Minor-pointed out the
great predominance Of the Greeks in
the regions to be evacuated by the
Turks If they are to leave Europe.
The whole yilayet, or province, Of
Adrianople,. extending from the Bal
kans down. to Constantinople, he de-
clared, Is as much Greek as 1t Is Turk
and with the Turks out it Is practical
iy all Greek. "Even Constantinople,"
he said, "is Greek city-the gest
Of Greek cities--with population Of
$4,000 Greeks. That gives an idea Of
the extent Of Greek citizenship In all

will have to be considered on the basis
Of nationality and race, when the Turk

y SpoiIed Children.

On q crowded interurban car the
day after Christmas there was, a jost-
ling, pushing, complaining bunch in the
aisle. There was just one woman in
the bunch who was not complaining,
and she was good to look at, being
cheerful, pretty and perfectly clothed.
from her russet shoes to the brown hat
that topped her gold-brown hair. Her
lovely brown suit was coming in con-
tact with all sorts of shabby clothing,
but she chuckled, and remarked to the
strange woman next to her: "What
spoiled children we are! Here we are
in warm, comfortable car, fairly fly
ing over the road, and grumbling all
the way. can remember when a trip
to Indianapolis meant, for me, q chair
in a farm wagon, maybe way back over
the hind wheels, and yet, even in zero
weather, jolting and jouncing over ff-
teen miles Of frozen road. never
whimpered. I was just glad all through
for the chance to take the wonderful
trip to the city,"

Der of faces in her vicinity, proving

FILLING HER CLUB NIGHTS
How One Girl Succeeded In sanish.
Ing Loneliness Caused by Civ

Barbara Carson felt bored as shA
sat toying with her book under the
light of the table lamp after dinner.
1t was club night for the girls of her
set, and she pictured them enjoying
the excitement Of the lights and the
music as she had done every week
through the winter.
She had had to admit, however that
the tone of the club-night dances had
gradually grown lower as the winter.
wore on, and she had made up her
mind to break away from this group Of
young people. She wanted to attach
herself to persons who were more
worth while
In remaining away tonight she had
taken the first step, but she had not
realized how hard 1t was going to be.
Just then her mother entered the
room and noticed the troubled look in
her eyes.
What Is the matter, dear?" She
asked. "Has something made you un-
happyT
"No," said Barbara, mot exactly
that, but L didn't realize how deadly
dull it was going to be to spend club
night at home"
Aren't you trying to take something
out Of your life without putting any
thing else in it's placer" asked her
mother. 'The Bible speaks about our
overcoming evil with good. You are
RI xx1ifh
You are like the man Of whom Christ
spoke who had swept and garnished
his sOul-house and then left it empty.
The result was that the old evil spirit
came back and brought seven other
worse devils with him. And, as Christ
tells US, the last state Of that man
was worse than the first. The man
merely had soul to let. Where he
made his mistake was In not getting in
some good tenants to take the. places
of the ones he had turned out. The
Italians have a proyerb that says that
the busy man is yexed with only one
devil, the idle one with seven. 1t IL
lustrates the old saying that, il you
want to keep chaff out Of the gran

''The point of all this Is that, IL you

it's place rather than to sit thinking
how wretched you are. would sug-
gest that; you start now to make an

you're right. Only the other day Mar

POTSE

In these days of stress and dis
turbance is an element of character
that is very useful. and that is poise
or serenity. 1t is an enjoyable state,
in which one preserves his PERSONAL
ity. There is no sense in ones catch
ing the furry of outside events and
making it a part of himself. In case
of a fire, there is no sense in q man
getting all "het up" too. If there is
a fight going on, it is perfect folly
for an outsider to clench his first and
go to swearing. too. A man is better
off If he remains calm when bill Is
presented, or he is rebuked by his
wife or he loses his collar button.
The very serenity is a salve to his
woes. But it is said the receipt is
hard to follows. Well, the best
things of life are not had for the
asking. Poise is a growth, like a
flower. 1t is sometimes the victim
of frosts, winds and insects; but they
must be overcome IL the flower is to
be saved. And so must poise be de-
Tended against vexations. inconven-
fences, impatiences, in order that II
may preserve the true quality of
character and render to society the
service of a fine personality.-Ohio

RULE WORKS ONE WAY

An informal, but quite reasonable
rule has just been laid down by the
collector of internal revenue relative
to poker gains and losses. In con-
nection with the great American
pastime custom has assessed the
winner for whatever toll was taken
by the kitty" This practice is sup
ported by the inexorable logic that
the loser cannot pay, as the contri-
button comes out of the pot" in
which the winner alone has concern,
except as the other fellow may care
to nurse reminiscent thoughts of
what might have been, and ruefully
compare his experience with his
judgment. According to the revenue
department, the law of the kitty"
If it may be so called, Is to be eX-
tended and given a wider applica-
ton. Poker winnings are to be as
sessed as income and made subject
to all the surtaxes and excess profit
taxes known to the law. but without
the comfortable counter-vailing per-
mission to the unlucky loser to de-
duct his losses from his taxable in
come. Thus Uncle Sam takes cog
nizance alone OF the winners gains,
and denies to the loser even the
questionable consolation of knowing
that he is not to be charged for
what he had but has no longer

A Song of Foot Fdring

oh, the days of skipping and sing
ing,
OF leaps with a laugh between,
The days of the merry Hail! good

In meadow or forest green!
For now one must needs look sober
Or folks will think one fool;
We have lost the ways of our truant

In weary session of school.
But, the heart may CULVER with
music.
And the lungs of the soul may fill.
And fancy may jig through a city

In spite of. the cold worlds will.
The face is dull and the pace is dull
AS we tramp the dull gray streets
Thank God for the Tilt of a heart
that laughs,
And the lightness of fancy's feet!

1911 IN THE PHILIPPINES

1t was a pretty lively gait that
1917 led us, says the Philippines
Free Press, and it looks as if the
world is going to have a still livelier
whirl during 1918. However, we are
getting accustomed to accelerated
motion, and what our forefathers
would have accounted as fast and
giddy and breathless is by us deem
ed rather slow. Each year, it seems,
sees a speeding up, a tightening of
higher gears, a resolve to smash all
past records, and a general reckless
ness and willingness to take the con-
sequences.
Here in the Philippines we have
been caught up in the common whirl
and are going faster than ever be-
fore. Automobiles are multiplying
at an astounding rate; an aviation
corps has been organized and aero
planes with their $50 miles an hour,
will soon be humming overhead; the
we have our National Guard and are
talking big of a patrol on the Mex
lean border of fiutter in the great
game in Europe; Japanese and Ha-
waiian capitalists are coming to our
shores and spying out the land and
finding it very good; fortunes are
being made in copra and in coconut
oil, and soon we shall have our sugar
baronS and our hemp DaronS ana our
tobacco barons; we are beginning to
feel like a little world power, offer
ing our destroyer and our Subma-
rine to the United States; and on
every hand we are making more
money than ever before. We have
kicked the lid off our currency, and
generally we are experiencing such
prosperity as these islands have
never known.
The year just passed brought flush
times to the Philippines. What the
year now opening has in store only
the gods know. But all the indici
tions point to another such bumper
twelve months as those just close
the only cloud on the horizon being
the lack or possible lack of shipping
to carry out our products and bring
us merchandise in return. And even

REED AND FOOD

X RANTING that Mr.. Hoover and
(r DIR. Garfield have made mis-
takes and that the "fuelless"
Monday order was a grave and cost
ly blunder, there is small excuse for
the TRADE of abuse turned loose in
Reed, Democrat, and some others
who savagely attacked the adminis-
tration for interfering with food,
food prices and coal regulations.
Whatever may be said of the errors
for which government agents were
responsible, the truth remains that
we would be in bad state at this mo-
ment if it had not been for Federal
control of provisions and fuel.
For example, if Hoover and the
law back of him had not put the
fear of Jail into the hearts of prof.
teers sugar would now be selling at
twenty or twenty-five cents a pound
and flour for thirty or forty dolla rs
a barrel. Washington has stood be-
tween the country and the commits
sion man, much to the advantage OF
the country. Perhaps Senator Reed
may have had something to sell on
which government regulations pre-
vented him realizing fifty per cent,
profit. His speech does not have a
purely disinterested sound.

NEW NATIONAL PARTY

#" HE new National Party may be-
come a factor in national poll
tics, but unless all signs fail it
will never dominate a national cleo
ton. Had it succeeded in anneXing
the Prohibition party, as its found
how far it might have gone, for pro-
hibition is a live and growing issue.
The weakness of the Prohibition
party has been that the average
voter declined to see in it anything
beyond an instrument for the regis
tration of antiliquor sentiment and
the National party might have used
it simply as plank in the broader
stand.
The Nationalists believe there is a
steady trend away from the two old
parties. That's what the Progress
sives and some others before them
thought, but their party appellations
are now little more than historical
Observation-Disclosures marking the
period of this or that campaign and
dead as the proverbial door nail.
There is nothing to indicate that the
new party is different. There is
room in the United States for two
great parties and there is no present
indication that the National party
is likely to become one of them,
although it may attract to its fold
all manner of eccentric men, each of
whom thinks his own particular pet
scheme is a panacea for all the ills
that flesh is heir to. And right there
is where the trouble will start, for
there is nobody so unreasonable or
intolerant as the one-idea man. Get
any number of these together and
the National party will die of in
ternal strife.

SAUCE FOR THE GANDER

MO BETTER evidence that the
IN German attempt to win the
war by the use of deadly gas
has failed and that the Kaiser breads
the introduction of gas by the
American forces in France, could, be
produced than the recent feeler put
out by Berlin to find if the Red
Cross can be persuaded to use it's
good offices to have the use of gas
stopped during the war.
The effort will fail. The only
way to meet the Hun and beat him
is by using his own measures. The
only reason he would withdraw
from the use of gas in battle is that
he is getting the worst of the argu-
ment.
He has learned to his sorrow al
ready that the American gas is far
more deadly than his own. He must
know by this time that there is in
construction in this country a gas
plant for the manufacture and load
ing in shells and other containers
of the most violent and insidious
forms of gas ever devised. He must
be aware that only a few more
months will elapse before the Ameri-
can forces will be ready to pour
