 Many of the presents are priceless, but he President values most those having sentimental appeal. These have come rineipally from children, not only in Trance. but from over Europe and also rom families in entente countries which ave suffered by the war.
 President Wilson has directed that very one should be formally acknowl 9ged. Sometimes in response to par icuarly touching message accompanying ne gifts he writes a personal acknowl- dgement, but the pressure on his time so great that he cannot do so for all. evertheless, every gift. no matter how insignificant, is carefully preserved fany of them undoubtedly will lind faces in the White House because the resident does not feel they were given him wholly personally.

MORGANT.HAU SAYS TURKEY MUST NOT BE LEFT AS A NATION
Says Conference Must Deal With Vital Question and That MOhammedan-
 ism Must Go
By Associated Press

New York, January 20.-Asserting that almost every country in the world has '-fooishly or selfishly helped to keep the Turk alive as a nation,' Henry Nor ganthau, former ambassador to Turkey, declared in an address here yesterday that the mistake of the past "in permit ting Turkey to continue because of the balance of power must not be made at the peace conference.
 ''The Dardanelles must remain open and unfortified," he said.
 They are the great waterway between Asia and Africa and are as vital to commerce as the mouth of the Mssis- sippi.
 Turkish Mohammedan rule over Christian people must cease.
 These old nations now under Turkish misrule must have their rights restored.
 ''No district of the size of Turkey can remain ungoverned in the midst of civil ized nations. Government for this is one of the tasks of the league of nations
 Now that almost every nation in turn has foolshly or selfshly helped to keep the Turk alive as a nation, don't let the United States through mistaken sen timentality or fear of little additional argument fall into the same error.
 Turkey is not reformable. Her vital tty is exhausted. She is not sick; she has just disintegrated and passed away. The skeleton may still make some mo- tions, but it is only the wind that is moving the limbs. There is no heart left through which the red blood of hu- manity can flow"

 Sam J. Park, as Lieutenant Colonel Morrison of the United States cavalry, shared the honors evenly with Miss Park, his interpretation of the gentleman sol dier. who places honor and mercy above the cruel necessities of war, won for him rounds of applause, and established him in the hearts of the audience all the way through the show.
 Earl Craddock as Uncle Billy an ante-bellum darkey. who Don't want no freedom" Lottie Glenmore as Sally Ann. a ''nigger scared of soiers;" Jack Holmes. as Captain Herbert Cary, a Confederate scout: Myrtle Bigdon as his wife, and Meyer Kaufman as General Grant, de- serve praise for their clever work, as we'll as the rest of the east who were ad- mirably fitted for the roles they played.
 Taken as a whole, the play is good, the plot of course already bears the stamp of approval by running one solid year in New York, and the presentation by the Maddocks- Park Players is all that could be expected.
 With such plays as these, the New Ma jestic ought to continue to command the excellent patronage that marked last week.
