What to Do With Them.
DISAGREE ABOUT GERMANY

BY EDWARD w. PickARD

With President Wilson. and conse.
quently the United States represented
only by an observer" In the person Of
Ambassador johnson, the allied SUI
preme council In session at San Reno
decided that Turkey should be sliced
up to considerable extent, and that
Germany must observe the treaty
terms. AS general propositions that
sounded all right, but when 1t came to
the necessary details there was Woe
full vagueness, so far as the CORE
spondents could learn. Take the case
Of Turkey. The treaty with that coun-
try was substantially completed and
the Turkish representatives notified
to be In Paris on May 10 to accept it.
The "big three" decided that seven
big pieces should be severed from the
sultan's emplre-Armenia, MesOpOta-
mia, Cilicia, Syria, Palestine, Georgia
and Acknowledgements the future of
these territories is left for the future
to determine. No one Of the nations
of Europe so far has signfied will
ingness to accept mandate for any
part Of Asia Minor, though several OF
them are determined to cling to ports
and zones Of influence. The League Of
Nations declined to take charge Of Ar
menia because 1t has neither the
money nor the means of action. The
United States. on which the Armenlans
relied and which they still hope will
come to their rescue. can do nothing at
present. When Great Britain, France
and Italy are able to act as a unit, or
when the league OF nations is able to
function, the destiny Of the small ma
tions freed from the Turk may be set
tied. Meanwhile Turkey is merely re-
CURED to relinquish sovereignty over
them, as was the case with Austria
and the regions along the Adrlatic
The supreme council, It is said, will
ask Sweden and Norway to help the
Armenians to establish free state.
and from Amsterdam comes the news
that the Dutch would be willing to
take over that job. If necessary, Can
ada is willing to accept the mandate,
Lord Curzon says
Politely disregardlng President Will
sons protest, the allied premiers have
decided that the sultan shall be per
mitted to retain Constantin0ple,
though the Dardanelles are to be in
ternatlonallzed and other precautions
will be taken to render him harmless
there. His territory will not extend
far into Europe, for Adrianople and
Kirk-Kilise are given to Greece, as Is
Gallipoli though 1t will be controlled
by allied forces. The only outlet to
the Aegean for Bulgaria will be De-
deagatch, which will be governed by
an international commission.
There are now In Turkey some NO,-
900 allied troops and Greece Is in a
position to send heavy reinforcements,
so 1t is believed the Turks will do
whatever the allies require.

In the matter of enforcing the trea-

the allied premiers is especially
marked. ,They all agree that the Ger
mans must observe the terms of the
pact, and have SO notified Berlin. But
what steps shall be taken in case the
Germans are disobedient? There's the
rub. Lloyd George insists that eco
nomic pressure, in the form of cutting
of supplies Of food and materials, will
be sufficient, and in this he has had
the support Of Nitti. Millerand, on the
other hand, asserts that military &C.

method that will make the Germans

Since President Wilson has made
the peace treaty a main issue of the
campaign, 1t must be admitted that he
suffered two rather severe set-backs
In the state primaries of last week.
In Nebraska, william Jennings Bry-
an, advocate Of reservations, was
elected delegate to the convention In
San Francisco, despite the utmost en-.
deavors of Senator Hitchcock and the
administration forces to keep him at
home. The prohibition question en-
tered largely into the fight, for Bryan
had declared his intention of putting
bone-dry plank in the Democratic
platform and Of routing the faction,
led by Governor Edwards. which ia
vors the modification of the prohibi-
ton legislation so that the use of mild
ly alcoholic drinks may be restored.
Hitchcock had openly sided with the
Edwards view. The Peerless One does
not intend that his party shall side
step the matter. The result in Nebras-
ka was affected by the action Of vast
numbers of women who, though not
formerly active members of the Dem
ocratic party, registered as Democrats
so as to vote for Bryan and dryness.
Senator Hitchcock was given the
states preferential vote for the presi-
dency, whatever that may be worth.
The other blow to the administration
forces was delivered by the Democrats
of Georgia, where support of the pres
ident and his peace treaty policy was
the main issue. To be sure Attorney
General Palmer, leading the Wilson
contingent and standing for uncond-
tlonal acceptance Of the treaty, was
victorious; but Senator Hoke Smith,
supporter of ratification with reserva-
tons, and Tom Watson, opponent of
the treaty and league covenant, to-
gether received vote nearly twice
that given Palmer. Watson led Palm
er in the popular vote by several thou
sand. 1t seems the treaty as 1t stands
is not really popular in Georgia, and
the same Is true In other parts Of the
south.

SULPHUR DEPOSITS in Alaska.

q large deposit Of sulphur, believed to
contain from 10000 to 5000 tons. A
claim has been filed for the location,
and mining operations probably will
start in the near future. Subter-
ranean heat and a hot vapor, the lat
ter issuing from cracks in the rocks,
keep the deposit free from ice and
snow, though these permanently csver
nearly all of the remainder OF the
peak. which is about 5000 feet in

GOOD FOR HOBBY.

Texas, it seems, has a sure-enough
governor. Despite the fact that the
state department requested the Tex
as executives permission for Carran-
za's troops to pass through his state
enroute to Sonora, Governor Hobby
put his foot down on it in no uncer-
tain terms. The Texas governor is
right. Carranza and his gang are no
better than any of the other brigands
in Mexico, and the United States
should allow his troops no more con-
sideration than any Of the rest. They
are all thieves and robbers, and ex-
cellent folks to have nothing to do
with. Naturally, the state depart
ment had reason for giving it's con-
sent for Carranza's troops to pass
through Texas, but Hobby also had
reasons why they shouldn't, and to
our mind his reasons are sufficient.
