Bankrupt Turkey.

Turkeys announcement of financial
bankruptcy and of reputation of its in
ternational obligations is what might be
expected of country which was already
morally bankrupt The only satisfaction
is that Germany is it, principal creditor
to the amount OF nearly 130000000
pounds Turkish, of which 100000 have
been advanced since 1914. Turkey has
increased its national debt nearly so per
cent since The war began, the bulk of its
borrowed cash naturally coming from
the country which had already bribed its
statesmen and leading officials into join
ing in the great conspiracy against the
worlds freedom Next to Germany
France is Turkeys principal creditor, the
middle classes of that country having
been lllred by Turkish bonds bearing con
siderable interest, which for more than
30 years had been regularly paid.
Turkey will find that under the condi-
tions brought about at the peace confer
ence it viii not he permitted to evade its
financial obligations any more than it
will escape the just penalties due for the
vile mistreatment Of Armenians and
Greeks. The Ottoman debt to Germany

Good Sense.

So much nonsense has got into print
regarding the presidents program in
France that it is refreshing to read a
bit of sense, even if it is open to the
query whether or not il is authentic
And there is sound sense in special
story sent TO the New York Times by
one of its Paris correspondents, and
published under COPYRIGHT According
to this story, the president is not in
France TO LAY the Monroe doctrine on
the table" and surrender it by arbitra-
tily mixing in European affairs. He is
not to fight to the last ditch for all his
IA points" regardless of what other
national leaders think about them on
their application He Is not prepared to
insist that a league OF nations shall be
formed out of hand He is not to force
certain ideas regarding the seas upon an
unwilling group of friends, whose purse
strings are held in this country. Ac-
cording to Mr. Oulahan, the writer Of
this story, President Wilson has gone to
Paris to sit among his peers, hear what
they nave to say, submit certain things
that he has to say. and then aid in the
formulating of a working agreement IN
der which just peace can be established
and reasonably guaranteed
Now, it isn't known whether or not
the writer of this story knows any more
about the situation than do the critics
who are fairly overlooking with assump-
tions and assertions Of all sorts Of fool
ish things the president is to say and
do, but one likes TO believe that he does
really know what he is talking about,
because he is talking sense.
1t is sensible to believe that the presi-
dent has not gone to Paris in an I'M
compromising spirit, sensible to believe
that he is not iuhexible in his views
regarding the proposed league, sensible

TRAPPER COMES
UPON NEW WOLF
George Bolinger Calls Animal
Coyote For Want of
Better Name

McVcytOwn, Pa, Aug. 11.-George
Boiling, who has spent half a GEN.
tury in the wilds hereabouts as
trapper and hunter, has discovered
a new animal which he calls a coy
ote for want of n better name. Boil
niger says these animals are a cross
between q wolf and fox, longer and
darker in the fur than the fox and
much longer ears and body. The
brush tail is quite different and
moro ferocious. although retaining
much of the sagacity of Reynard.
Bolinger has a pup in captivity. He
says the new animals have only ap-
peared here in recent years and are
unknown elsewhere. He believes
they may be the result of cross breed
ing between native animals and
those liberated at the time of the
Walter l.. Main circus wreck at Nail,
Pa, 80 years ago.
