armenian Mandate

Thus, if the United States under
took an Armenian mandate it
would find itself at once called upon
to insist on French evacuation of
Armenian lands, and, if it accepted
Armenian claims to Adana and the
Cillcian area, to a still further con-
siderable curtailment of French
claims. Nor is this all, for east
ward, IN territories once Russian,
dwell the main mass of surviving
Armenians and an American pro-
tectorate there would clash with
Russia should Russia ever regain
unity, and with the Georgians and
other native races, who also lay
claim to the British lands which
contain the great oil districts about
Batum, one of the prizes of the eco
nomic world.
But the Syrian or, more exactly
the Arab and Armenian phases are
but two Of the complications. Even
more sharply than the British and
French have clashed between the
Mediterranean and the Euphrates,
the Italians and the Greeks have
quarreled along the Egean coast.
Italy has landed troops at Adalia
and occupied the seacoast. She
claims, also, the right to seize
Smyrna, the great port Of Asia
Minor, but the Greeks, backed by
the Paris Conference, provoked
fighting with the Turks, who are
still to be reckoned with.
Meantime the Italians continue
to hold the islands of Rhodes and the
Dodecanese, which are purely Greek
in population but were taken by the
Italians in the Libyan war and as
signed permanently to them in their
Treaty of London bargain with the
Entente which preceded their en-
trance into the World War. Now,
the Greeks have certain undeniable
claims in Asia Minor. From the
dawn of history the west coast has
been Hellenic and it was Athenian
protection Of these Greek cities in
Asia which provoked the Persian
invasion.

tions would not extinguish their

In Paris, at least, last winter, the
mere suggestion of an American
mandate for Constantinople called
forth an instant accusation on one
side, if it was applauded by others
who more accurately appraised
American reluctance to enter and
the absence Of any material profit
for America in such a venture. More

Italian aspirations


THE vice Of the Eastern question
to-day arises from the entrance of
Italy as predatory influence In Ana
tolia. To realize Italian aspirations
Italy must permanently stife legiti-
mate Greek aspirations, must con-
quer territories and hold the Turkish
population in subjection. Moreover,
so far as Italy is concerned, it means
a new and terrible drain upon Ital-
ian resources, with no commensurate
rewards in honor, influence or pros
perity. But for the Italian phase, an
arrangement between the Greeks and
Turks might be possible, restricting
the Greeks to the coastlands, indis-
putably Hellenic, and assuring to
the Turks precisely such access to
the sea and world commerce as the
Greeks, who are the real traders of
the Near East, would in the nature
Of things provide on their own init
ative.
OF all conceivable mandates, that
OF Constantinople would be the SIM
plest. taken by itself, but it is idle to
close ones eyes to the fact that 40
far from solving the Turkish prob
lem, the World War has really only
added new complications, and, even
IN Consta9tinople, proximity to the
tlnder-box might have dangers i'm
mediate and eventual. Meantime
the promise of conference of Lon
don reveals the bankruptcy of Paris.
SO far as the Eastern question is
concerned. while the recent develop
ments in the Near East disclose the
extent of the difficulties before tha
later gathering, which will be. in a
sense, the heir to all the errors and
tollles of that Congress of Berlin
whose failure in dealing with tho
Eastern question has become a mat
ter Of proverb.

INVENTION FOR MONOGRAPH
 BY ALASKAN

G. M. Landerking, a well-known old timer, at present employed in the me- chanical department of the Fairbanks bureau of mines station, has perfected an improved talking machine which reproduces the human voice, or any thing else that any photograph does, in much louder and plainer sounds than has yet been done by any other invention
 In the construction of the talking machine proper there is practically no difference from standard makes. A common horn, sounding box, winding motor and tone arms are used In the construction of the reproducer MT. Landerking has made a radical de- parture. Instead of using the mica plates and needle arm for reproduction One of these is of brass and the other of steel. In each of these is a set of reeds, which, when the machine is not in operation or no air pressure is ap- piled, are meshed together. Common talking machine needles are used.
 By means of air pressure the sound is increased in volume many times it's original strength. A small motor attached to light socket is directly c0nnnRfp6 fN Q oil ir which is in turn connected by pipes to an air pressure tank. By means of small pipes the air is brought to the reproducer and passes through the reed plates, forcing them apart. From the reproducer it is carried off down the tone arm and into the horn and sounding box.
 MT. Landerking has just finished his machine. The motors and air com pressor are mounted behinid a glass case so that they can be seen by all. The air pressure is governed by the speed Ok the motor, which is rated at one-sixth horse power, and is con- trOlled by a variable rheostat. The loudness of the tone depends entirely upon the pressure applied-the stronger the pressure, the louder the tone.
 The inventor played several Victor and Columbia records, selections made at random, and the machine appar- ently did all that is claimed for it. A patent, said MT. Landerking, had been applied for and will probably be granted soon. He also said that he had one offer to begin manufacturing

the new machine for the market.
 In speaking of his invention, he stated that it was part of a machine for talking moving picture ma chine. He said that he is now cer tain that he has synchronized the picture machine and the talking ma chine and will be able to put out complete machine which will make talking movies" real success. The most difficult part of his work, he said, has been completed.

PLAN ENLARGED
WATER SUPPLY
Army Engineers, with Two
Schemes Outlined, Ad-
wise Early Action.

Army engineers. seeking a solu-
ton of the problem of increasing
the water supply in the District in
proportion TO the growth of the
population. expect to meet the situ-
etion by utilizing water from the
PatuXent River or by the construc-
tion of an additional conduit from
Great Falls. according to plans now
being worked out. 1t is the opinion
of the engineers that the Patuxent
River plan would be a trifie more
costly.
The present water supply is suffi-
cient to meet the needs of the
District but, as adoption of either
OF the above plans would require
five years of construction the army
engineers who have made a study
Of the situation say that work on
one of these projects must be
started at once in order to pre-
vent shortage caused by the in
crease in population.
