OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY
IS TURKEY "ouR MEAT?

The Jersey City Journal has a witty
play OIL the prospects of our becom-
ing the mandatory of Turkey and in
a light strain asserts, Turkey is our
national bird" Some weeks have
elapsed since it was announced in
Paris that one of the first mandates
under the league Of nations will be
for Uucle Sam to take charge of
Constantinople. During that time not
a great deal of enthusiasm was mani
tested over the country and it may
be fairly asserted that Uncle Sans
family would not understand.
One of the near tragic develop
ments of the present week in news
from Europe was the appeal Of the
Germans for a protectorate with the
United States. 1t only follows that Of
the young Turks which came many
weeks ago, not long after the arms
tice. In Constantinople there has been
a desire among the vigorous, active
population for an American rule.
These are but two examples of wide
enthusiasm in Europe for American
ideals of government, The touching
part of the German appeal lies in the
fact that the flower of American
young manhood went over imbued TO
the highest pitch with the first prin-
ciple in war-that Of killing. Gour-
ards words, skill, kill, till they cry
enough" rang in their ears through
the red flame Of the first and the last
battle. And German fighting men on
the Marine found that in these young
Americans fighting had altogether q
new meaning.
Beaten to their last trenches and
back on the way to their borders, the
Germans found time to admire Ameri-
can fighting methods and courage.
Since then the American army of &C.
cupation has been doing missionary
work for American free institutions
and it has been catching. In The dark
est hour of defeat, the enemy would
cling to the skirts of the nation that
inflicted a last singing, most bitter
defeat ana then smiled!
1t isn't long before we will bid
Germany goodbye. the last man of us,
but it is not altogether improbable
that the American soldier will do SEN
try duty along the BospOrus with
Uncle Sam as mandatory for STAN
boul. The New York Herald is quite
certain that the American people are
not anxious for the task, especially
if Turkish sovereignty is retained. Our
friends in Paris are constantly offer
ing us Turkey, while they are inclined
to favor retaining a sort of excuse
for Turkish rule at Constantinople.
There il stand. The President has warn
ed the peace conference that it should
be prepared to hear of an American
refusal to function for the Sublime
Porte.
But it begins to appear that the
American missionary spirit is calling
for other action. Some of the late

that his means will afford. The man
who does not try to leave conditions in
better shape after he has parted from
the scene of activity does not try to
fully measure up to the duties of
good citizenship.

THE WOODEN CROSS

BY Oline G. Hurtel, Mobile, Ala.
Oh. You who in a distant land
Now sleep beneath the quiet sod
OF God. unknown to men and fame,
Your life you gave.
No cross of bronze is yours, for some
Great Coed of bravery done.
A wooden cross is all--the end
In silent land a silent sign
1t stands. twas won by lifes best gift
Of life itself.
Around it blows Gods wind and falls
His rain. Above il watch His stars,
And at its foot the peoples come and 20,
Sained crimson by your blood-your heart
From which they sprung.
Oh. You who in a distant land
Now sleep beneath the quiet sod
OF God-sleep on-for we that live
Shall not forget.
Your cross OF wood was bought with
blood
Like Calvary's own, and it shall shine,
sign of Gods own love, through time.
