KILLS LARGE BALD EAGLE

Esq. j. B. Overall, of Garland,
killed a large bald eagle at Sunk lake
Saturday that measured, we are told,
seven feet from tip to tip.
The great birds wing was broken
and it fought so viciously when its
captor attempted TO take it alive that
it was necessary to dispatch it.
This is one of two large eagles
that make their home about the lake
and ESQ. Overall and others discov-
cred their nest while hunting there.

Turkey in the Balance.

Consultation of the Presidents views
on the subject of procedure regarding
Turkey has been initiated by France,
and it is expected that the inquiry
from Paris will be followed by
England and Italy. Until Mr.. Will
sons statement is obtained no decision.
it is believed, will be reached by the
allied supreme council. Meanwhile, al
lied high commissioners in CONSTANT
nople are instructed to suggest the best
method of procedure in ease show
of force is necessary.
The Turkish crisis grows out of re
newed massacres in Asia Minor. The
Moslem government has sought to avoid
responsibility for these atrocities, al
leging that they were in the first place
greatly exaggerated in reports, and,
secondly, that they were the work of
non Turkish bands. No crcdencc is
given to these excuses, as the evidence
is too clear that the denominations were
committed by Turkish troops.
The main question regarding Tnr-
key is really whether there is to be a
Turkish government Tie allies are
at critical ,juncturc of near eastern
adjustment. If Turkey is permitted
to remain political entity with a seat
in Europe it will continue 4 center of
ical aspirations by the powers should
not at this time stand in the way of a
final settlement through the elimina
ton of Turkish rule from Europe at
least, if not the total suppression of
Turkey as a governing organism.

Another Water Supply Delay.

According to an agreement reached
by the conferees on the water-power
bill the District must wait at least an
other year before action is taken for
the increase of the local water supply.
UnconGuerable opposition to the Sen
ate's item of $25,O0O,00O for the de-
velopment of the Potomac power and
incidental increase in the water sup
ply was encountered on the part of the
| House representatives, and a compro-
mise was reached whereby $4,000 was
allotted to the water power commission
to study the local situation and to re-
port project by the 1st of January,
1921.
Thus again the matter is postponed.
The prayer of the capital is that the
water supply will prove adequate
meanwhile. That an enlargement must
eventually be provided is assured. The
present margin is so slender that in
times of greatest water use the Dis
trict is on short commons. With all
the precautions against waste there is
not enough water for community of
nearly 100000 people, and there is no
reserve for emergencies. Only by the
most careful administration and dill
gent watchfulness is the supply made
to serve in midsummer.
So much time has been already lost
in surveys and inquiries that there is
no high hope of prompt action follow
ing a report to Congress by the water
power commission. If it were assured
beyond question that an appropriation
for actually beginning the work would
be granted a year hence this postpone
ment could be borne without distress
| Of mind. The record of the past, how
; ever, does not altogether justify con-
fdent expectation.
1t is, of course, greatly to be desired
that the Potomac power should be
utilized, if it can be done economical
ly, and without lessening the supply
of water for the city's needs from this
source. If it is decided to 60 else
where for water, to the Patuxent, for
example, as proposed, the Potomac af-
fords larger scope of power possibil-
ity. 1t is to be expected that in the
survey now being provided for con-
sideration will be primarily had of the
water needs of the capital, immediate
and prospective.

Third Term Talk.

Two things have revived the talk,
which had almost ceased, about an
other nomination for Mr.. Wilson: Q)
His insistence on the peace treaty just
as he signed it in Paris, and (2) the
improvement in his health.
Mr.. Wilson represents the treaty and
believes in it as no other man in his
party does. He helped negotiate it,
and set his hand and seal to it. Nat
urally, he stands up for it. There are
democrats willing to accept it without
the dotting of an "T' or the crossing
of "t" They agree with his inter
pretation and appraisement of the
pact. There are other democrats who
differ with him, but do not censure
him, about the pact. They favor reser-
vatlons which, as they think, will bring
1t into the proper and necessary ac-
cord with our Institutions and pur-
poses. And so the argument runs that
if the pact is to be the, or even an, is
sue in the coming campaign, with the
democratic party as its champion, Mr..
Wilson should be the candidate. No
other nomination would fill the bill so
well.
Mr.. Wilson is improved in health
though not yet restored to full
strength. The hope, shared by all. is
that he soon may be. Nomination time
is three months away; and by the end
of June, as the calculation goes, Mr.
Wilson should be physically himself
again.
If Mr.. Wilson is thoroughly fit wher
the time comes and is nominated agair
he will, Of course, take an active par
in the campaign. In NO other way

A Truculent Prussian Prince.

In the cafe of the Hotel Adlon, in
Berlin, the other night, Prince Joachim,
cousin of the former kaiser, and a
party of officer friends assaulted q
group of French officers for failure
to rise when the band played "Deutsch
land Uber Allies" The Frenchmen
were severely injured. Doubtless "rep-
resentations" will be made to the Ger
man government regarding this out
rage. and perhaps apologies will be
forthcoming, possibly some measure of
punishment will be imposed upon the
truculent German representative of
royalty. But the incident does not
close with such reparation if it is
granted. The spirit animating the at
tack remains.
The expectation and demand of n
German prince that Frenchmen should
honor the German national anthem are
characteristic of the Prussian. The
French officers are in Berlin as rep
resentatives of the government at
Paris, on official business. 1t is in
conceivable that they should do public
honor to the tune that stands for the
force they have been fighting for five
years, that ravaged their land, that
sought their own destruction. To ask
such obeisance to the music Of "Deutsch-
land" is in itself an affront.
If this spirit is prevalent through
out Germany there is trouble ahead.

The Dramatic Suffrage Finale.

West Virginia is furnishing the most
dramatic episode in the entire history
Of the enfranchisement Of the Ameri-
can women. With tied senate, after
ratification of the amendment by the
lower house, and members of the upper
branch fastening from distant points
to break the tie, one on each side, and
with charges of ineligibility impend-
ing over senators, the situation in the
state is tense. The whole country is
watching the proceedings. Charges of
corrupt practices are limited at by lead
ers of .ae suffrage party. The case at
Charleston will not end, it is evident,
with the final vote-taking on the
amendment.
Meantime special sessions have been
summoned in Washington and Della
ware, for a week from next Monday.
Ratification is confidently expected in
the former state and is predicted in
the latter. If both ratify the total
score for approval will be thirty-fve,
or one short of the necessary three
fourths. If West Virginia breaks the
! tie, through some maneuver favorinp
the suffrage cause, the amendment will
be definitely and finally ratified, sub
iect to the question Of state referen-
lum laws, involved in suffrage as in
| prohibition. If West Virginia fails to
-atify, through maintenance of the
tie, or an adverse break in the ranks

could he hope for the best results
He will have to show himself and dem.
onstrate his complete recovery. 1t he
immured himself in his library and
appealed for votes through the medium
of pen, ink, and paper his reserve
might rouse suspicion as to his phys
icai condition and injure his candi,
dacy.
We shall have a campaign that is a
campaign if Mr.. Wilson challenges
the third term tradition. 1t will be
remarkable. indeed, to see the man
who was first elected ON a one-term
platform running the third time. True,
he did not specifically accept the one
term plank of that platform; but
neither did he reject it. By his silence
he got the benefit of it. Its author,
Mr.. Bryan, undoubtedly believed that
Mr.. Wilson, if elected, would be gov
erned by it and retire from office at
the end of four years. But when the
time came Mr.. Wilson, who desired
denomination. was renominated by ac-
clamation, and Mr.. Bryan did not OBJ
ject.
AS Mr.. Wilson has smashed other
traditions. and these are smashing
times, his friends have no doubt about
his ability to smash this one. They
hope to see him tackle it, take charge
through Ecutenants of the San Fran,
cisco convention, and dictate plat
form entirely to his liking, and upon
it secure the third term.

Bryan and Hitchcock.

For the moment at least. Nebraska
holds the center of the stage in the
matter of the San Francisco conven-
tion. The BryaRites and the Hitch
cockitcs have locked horns. Mr.. Bryan
wants to go to the convention as
delegate. Mr.. Hitehcock's name Is
mentioned in connection with the noml-
nation for President. and an effort Is
to lie made to instruct Me states dele
CATION for him. Mr.. Bryan objects,
end in a statement says: "lf the state
instructs for him | shall allow an
alternate 10 vote in my place. Among
the rcasons given for this attitude IS
that Mr.. Hitchcock voted against sub
mission of .he federal prohibition and
woman suffrage amendments.
We see here how strongly Mr.. Bryan
feels on the subject of the eighteenth
amendment. He is opposed to be-
slowing his party's highest honor on
a man who simply voted against sub
mitting that amendment. How much
more strongly. then, must he feel
about men who favor repeating the
amendment, or in some way nullify-
ing it.
The vets. throughout the country,
greatly desire Mr.. Bryans defeat at
home. They want him kept out of the
national convention as a delegate. They
recognize in him the leader of the
dry forces in the democratic party, and
realize that if made a member of the
convention he will he mighty influ-
ence there in the dry cause.
How far will the vets, inside and
to defeat hml His desire to attend
the convention has become with them
a national issue They will consider
that they have scored heavily if they
succeed in turning him down.
But in that event will they have
scored. They cannot keep Mr.. Bryan
away from the convention. The doors
will be open to him, if not as dele
gate as newspaper correspondent or
as a spectator in the gallery; and the
drys will know of his presence in
town. Informally, he will be their ad
wiser and in that capacity associated
with their convention activities.
The fight is developing rapidly, and
promises to become very pretty one.
Both sides are thoroughly in earnest
The vets, backed by both money and
political influences, are straining every
nerve to recover lost ground, while the
drys, backed by the moral and domestic
influences that put prohibition over in
the contests that eliminated in the
eighteenth amendment, are seeking to
bold the advantages they now enjoy.
Before San Francisco comes Chicago.
But while the republicans in conven-
tion will not escape the issue, they are
not threatened IS yet with such con-
test as is shaping for the democrats.
