TURKS FAIL ID
 SEE DEFEAT
Don't Regret They Were Ever Allies of Central
 Powers.

London Mar. 21.-(Correspon of The Associated Press)-The Turks are by no means convinced that they are vanquished and show few signs of regret that they were ever the Allies of the Central Powers, according to a French correspondent who has re- turned from Constantinople. The cor respondent attributes this failure on the part of the Turks to realize their
 actual situation to the fact that the British and French commanders in
 the Turkish capital have not acted
 like conquerors and imposed their
 authority on the Turks.
 The correspondent declares that he
 was unable to convince the leading
 Turks of the complete victory of the Allies and of the definite crushing of German military power, and adds { that this is due to the fact that the Allied troops did not enter Stamboul with flags flying, because the Allied officers did not install themselves as masters in the different ministries and because the military authorities did not take over all the administra-
 tive offices and police the city
 The Committee of Union and Pro- gress no longer exists, legally, says i the Frenchman, but it's creatures still
 occupy their posts in the ministries
 and in the police service. ''They are
 very active and offer us a very bit
 ter and systematic opposition" he
 continued. This frequently takes
 the form of spreading rumors of dis a agreement between France and Eng
 land on the subject of the future of
 Turkey. They assert that it would be to the advantage of England and France to placate Turkey and to leave ConstantinopIe as the Turkish capital. "On one of the Princes Islands Prinkipo-the German Marshal, Non Sanders Lirnan Pascha, is comfort
 ably lodged and receives the ad- herents of the old regime and, be- tween dessert and cheese they openly plot against us without fear of dis turbance.
 "The Germans who knew the Turks
 treated them as they should be treat
 ed. with brutal force, and that is the only attitude which can be adopted towards them. We should bring home
 to them the realization that the Al lies are in reality the conquerOrs. We must act with energy and frmness, if we desire to retain our predominant
 influence in Turkey

.Angton crossing the Delaware
 Thirty persons had perished that day in attempting to cross the river in small boats Nevertheless the Americans embarked in one of the boats and after a struggle for life in the ice-foes, crossed in safety. For tunately the fog lifted in the early afternoon and the big river steamer was able to make the return trip.
 Irkutsk is an impressive-Iookin city in the heart of winter with it's fine-lOoking buildings and its many green-domed churches. The Ameri- can consulate is located in a spa cious, well-furnished apartment which was the scene of exciting events during the stirring incidents of the year 1917 when battles occurred in the streets between the Bolsheviki and the Czecho-SIovaks who were fighting with the Siberian army. The Bolsheviki rushed into the house, which was then occupied by a Rus sian middIe-class family, hacked the furniture to pieces with their bay onets, dragged the woman of the house to the streets by her hair and shot over the head of her husband in an effort to force him to hand over his money and valuables. The .terrorists also 1nenaced the parents with the death of their children. Later the consulate authorities took the house and the family was glad to have the protection which the pres ence of the American consulate af- forded-
 In December, 1917, some 5000 cas- ualties occurred in the street fighting in Irkutsk and today one may see the houses, riddIed with shot and shell.

RUSSIANS NEED
 ILLUMINATION

Omsk Siberia, Mar 9-CCorres- pondenCe of The Associated Press)- Finding the necessities of life for the people is one of the great problems of the All-Russlan government hay ing its headquarters here. Light is one of the most urgent needs. EleCtri- city exists spasmOdiCally in less than half the city. The burning of an electric power plant caused a big sec ton to depend entirely on petroleum, or kerosene, and candles. But the stock of petroleum Is almost exhaust ed and candles are becoming rare.
 The loss of Samara has proved a great blow in this respect for. through Samara from the rich pc troleum districts Of the Caucasus, came the Omsll supply of petroleum. oil and fats. The lack of grease for the wheels of the railway cars is a very serious matter in connection with the question of transport. aI- ready difficult on account of general disorganization. Candles cost eight rubles apiece and are difficult to find.
 Light is essential in the dead of winter, here because night begins at four o'clock in the afternoon and con- tinUes until eight o'clock in the morn ing, The absence of light in the streets at night leads to frequent robberies and occa sionaIy to more serious incidents. It is unsafe 10 go out at night alone especially in dark, unfrequented thOroughfares.
 The only public attraction at OnsI1 is the theatre and few moving picture auditOriums. There are one or two large restaurants where one may dine for fifty or sixty rubIes. But generally speaking, OmsI. at night is deserted and mournful

Irleutsk, Jan. 20. Correspondence

Irkutsk, Jan. 20. Correspondence of The Associated Press, Delayed) ).- Irkutsk is of considerable military and political interest because 1t has definitely marked the westerly limit of the zone of influence of General SemenofF, the COssack leader, and the beginning of the sphere of territory clearly dominated by the All Russia n government at Omsk headed by Ad- miral KoIchak.
 For the newcomer, unused to the severity of Siberian winters, Irkutsk possessed much of the dramatic and unexpected. The city Is separated from the railroad station by the tur- buIent Angara, river and when we arrived the pontoon bridge across the river had been destroyed by floating ice. The river steamer, used to transport passengers when the bridge was down, was immobItbHzed by a heavy fog that hung over the An gara.
 To cross the river to the American consulate and telegraph office the travellers were compelled to depend upon a score of hardy rivermen in stoutly built rowboats. On the shore stood thousands of people waiting and clamOring to get across the riv- CT. Hundreds of sleighs and dros- kies had driven down to the rivers edge waiting for passengers from the other side of the stream. As the fog shifted slightly one caught gIimpses of floating and swirling miniature ice-bergs out in the river.
 The cold is terrible. Almost it froze the very breath as it panted from the mouths of the waiting shivering travellers. The polar aspect of the scene, the crowd of ice-covered people, the shouting and cursing bOatmen, the excited drosky drivers, all clamoring for fares, the general wiIduess of everything made it all a picture not soon to be forgotten. As the row-boats struggled in the Hoes one of the Americans exclaimed, it reminds one of the picture of Wash

The correspond ent's letter which follows, describ- ing his visit to the Siberian city, affords a glimpse at conditions prevailing at this important sta tion on the Trans-Siberian rail way, midway between Nladivos- tOk and Omsk and conveys an idea of the difficulties of win ter travel in Siberia.

OIL IN DERBYsHIRE.

London, Mar. 21. - Secrecy sur rounds the operations of the driIlers who have discovered oil in Derby shire. There seems to be no doubt, however that oil in considerable quantities has been found, and the driIIers believe they are about to open up an important field. One well has been completed on the estate of the Duke of Devonshire, and other wells are being drilled as rapidly as possible Other wells, it was an nOunced here today, are to be drilled in Staffordshire and Nottingham shire.
 A correspondent of the Leeds 0Ier- cury declared that he had been in formed by leading British geoIogists that they believed more oil would be found in England than had come from the wells of Western Penn sylvania.
 Dependent as England has been for fuel upon it's coal fields and the va garies of it's miners which more than once has threatened to precipitate an industrial crisis. the discovery of oil have excited more than usual in terest

LOVE OF LOMAx

The Hartford, Conn, COurant pub
fishes the following editorial in rel
erence to the gigantic scheme OF
former wellknown resident of Cor
dova:
William r. Love lives in Lomax.
Lomax is in Illinois. LomaX, Illinois,
shelters in the person Of Love OF
Lomax a man who has "a concrete
plan and program capable of getting
for all the people the best after-the-
war results possible He confides
his possession Of this concrete plan
and program" to few whom he char
acterizes as the leading citizens OF
the United States" He included US
in this category. Did he take in you?
Love of LomaX will not trust the
full details of his concrete plan ana
program" to the printer and Mr.. Burle-
sons mails He is, however, willing
to attend a conference of "the leading
citizens" in Washington. Meanwhile
he will only tell us that he proposes
'the greatest revolution Of all time,
and that his remedy is "a very won
derful and forceful one. Like great
invention in mechanics it is made up
of combination of many features,
most of which have already, some
where or other, been tested and found
wonderfully successful"
From all this you might think the
concrete plan and program" of Love
of Lomax was new patent medicine
Or plan for extending the prohibition
amendment to the constitution to In
clude cigarettes and chewing gum,
but it isn't 1t is merely a remedy
capable of solving fundamentally and
adequately all our great social prob

kind"

here today by Charles Lathrop Pack,
president of the national war garden
commission in a speech before the

Gould there be anything more in
spring." said Mr.. Pack, than to have
a day set aside in the spring on watch
all of us shall get out of doors and
into the sunshine for the first garden
planting of the year? On the last
Sunday in March we will have an
extra hour Of daylight, which will
mean millions OF dollars in increased
home food production. Think what it
would mean every year if on the first
Wednesday in April or on April 6, the
day we declared war, the millions OF
members of the garden army marched
out into the burrows of freedom in the
war for food?
"In the great garden army there IS
the making of the better and healthier
citizen-the creation of a longing for

creation of the desire for nome
With that spirit implanted in those
who will come after us we Will nave

CHILD WELFARE
LAWS DRAFTED
IN MISSOURI

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March g.
Warfare organizations in this and
other countries and state and govern
ment officials are closely watching
the progress of the missouri Child
rens Code" now before the state
legislature
The code of ffty-one child welfare
laws drawn up by commission APP
pointed by Governor Gardner, is said
to be the most complete ever offered
for Legislative action Proponents ex-
press confidence of its enactment
Enactment of somewhat similar
codes repeating old laws, revising
others, and containing new regula-
tons is being sought in many states
by the national commitie of stand
ardizing children's laws which has
the support of the national child labor
committee. But nothing has been at
tempted on so broad scale and the
outcome in Missouri is awaited as
somewhat of test case, according to
Lucille B. Lowenstein OF the Missouri
commission.
The code provides for the support
of children born out of wedlock; raises
the age of consent to T6 years: estab-
fishes the marriage age at 49, abol-
ishes common law marriages: pro-
vides for eXtradition of child desert
ers; provides for punishment Of adults
responsible for child delinquency; es-
tablishes state home for dependent
children establishes bureau for
mental detectives at the University
of Missouri to serve courts, schools
and institutions in examination of de-
fectives, and provides special classes
in public schools for feeble minded,
deaf, blind and crippled children Mar
riage of feeble mined and epileptics
would be prohibited.
The codes labor section prohibits
employment of children under ID in
any occupation unless an employment
certificate has been obtained, except
during vacation periods. Boys over
II years old and girls past rs could
engage in street trades if licensed and
supplied with badges after special

Completion OF the eighth grade
would be necessary before employ
ment certificates were issued, and the
