Turkey Turns to
 Russia as Sole
 Postwar Friend

Moscow, July 26.-Turkey has turned to Soviet Russia "as the sole naticn which accepts in fact the prin- eiples asserted in theory at the close of the great war" said Djemal Pasha member of the Young Turkish party to the correspondent of The Asso- ciatcd Press.
 We are facing crisis which in- wolves our national existence. It is question of might against right in which we have been forced to a momentous decision by the Entente powers, as we were in 1914," Djemal said.
 After the conclusion of the armis- tice the Young Turkish party was discredited through British intrigues and forced to turn over the govern ment to lzzet Pasha. Plans were be- gun for the dismemberment of Tur- key.
 Our hopes of saving Turkey, with the exception of the loss of Arabia vanish as plans of the British and French imperialists became clear and the Versailles treaty utterly repud- lated the principles asserted in Pres ident Wilson's IA points. Anatolian Turks saw the inevitable outcome and the consequence was the revolt led by Mustapha Renal, ending in the establishment of the provisional gov ernment of Angora, supported by the Young Turkish party.
 "The decisions of the San Reno conference and recent declarations of President Wilson that the question of the Dardanelles should be settled only when Russia is able to parti- cipate in the deliberations plainly show that the Entente anticipates the eventual restoration of the Cadet party, and support the dismember- ment policy.

BAILEY's COMEBACK.

The sensational return to political strength of former Senator Joe Bailey of Texas is an unusual thing in Texas } politics. Bailey has been discredited 1t home and abroad. He has been thrown out of the democratic party in his state, and has made numerous attempts to come back into power each of them being more hopeless failure than it's predecessor. How, ever, within the last few years Texas has had enough of unsatisfactory gov. ernment. Bailey's success is due to | desire for progressive changes along some lines and to desire for return t0 the old order along others. II addition he is a man who has larg, personal following. This time wa sthe psychological time for Bailey t run for office. His success will b. enough to make every other defeate' politician in the United States try t spmulate him.

ANOTHER LEAGUE OPPONENT.

Will or will not there be joy in the camp of those who are opposed to the 7 United States seeking world peace and 2 order through assistance to the other free peoples now that Nicolai Lenine has Joined the colors of the opposi- ton? Will Nominee Harding and !. Senators Lodge and Shields welcome Nicolai to full brotherhood? He speaks as one of the elect, and to the credit of his wisdom we must say that he has real, substantial reason for his course. Were anyone else the beneficiary of anarchy, as Nicolai is, we doubt not that each and every one ] of Such would also be opposed to any instrumentality whose object was to restore order and peace to the world.
 From the quasi argument and man. ifest misrepresentation of the league of nations made by Nicolai he has qualified himself to be participant In the debates of our august senate. The Russian Bolshevik premier de- clares his opposition to the league and then announces that its failure has been one of the chief means of pro- noting the third internationale, whose extension over the world is the Lenine dream. Now we will agree thoroughly with him that the failure .of the league as yet to function properly has permitted the spread of the soviet idea. The inference then from Len ines own words is that Bolshevism in self-defense must continue to keep the league ineffective, and in what better way could this be done than by Keeping the United States out?
 But Nicolai, after declaring the league failure, proceeds to contra I dict himself and his own theories when he says that the activities of the league in behalf of capitalism had Facilitated the work of the commun- ist internationale. For him this would have been the most glowing success and we know full well that if the league were aiding his cause even in directly he would be the last man in < tho world to oppose it. Nicolai would not be so foolish as to kill the goose that is laying the golden egg. Nay, my brother! The very fact that Nico- lai Lenine is opposed to world league for peace and order is the strongest proof possible that a real, vital league would eventually bring ' order out of chaos. And when this Ah0uld be done Lenine would be out of job.-Commercial-A Appeal.

General Enoch H. Crowder, repre- senting the war department; o. c. Merrill, waterpower expert in the for estry service, who has been desig- mated executive secretary of the com mission and H. A. Stabler, of the in- terioir department.
 Members of the committee say the regulations will be extensive and that they probably will be announced in series, with open hearings on each group before rthey are made final Those relating to form and condition of application for survey permit or licenses will be the first announced. The most difficult problem involved in drawing up the regulations, mem-
 bers of the committee say, is that of establishing uniform system of ac- counting for licensees as required by the act.
 Under the waterpower bill the com nilsson is empowered to issue licenses for period not exceeding 50 years. The licensee will pay to the govern ment reasonable annual charges ih an amount to be fixed by the com mission. Upon the expiration of any license the government,' if two years notice in writing has been given by the commission, will have the right to take over and operate any water power development after paying the net investment of the licensee in the project or projects taken, not to ex- ceed the fair value of the property plus such reasonable damages, if any, to property of the licensee as may be caused by the severance therefrom Of property taken.
 In cases where such notice has not been given the government also will have the right to take over upon mu- tual agreement with the licensee any property developed under the terms of the bill subject to the payment of the net investment.
