British and French policy have then, in
fact, broken over Turkey similar
break has taken place between Italy and
Britain, emphasized by the fact that the
Italians, occupying Adm, south of Smyr-
na, have actually welcomed Turkish
troops retreating before Greek columns
and fired upon the Greeks, who sought to
pursue them in the Meander Valley. A
very bloody and distressing affTay result
cd and the situation remains acute.
Meantime the British are having trouble
with their Arab kingdom in their own
sphere In Mcsopotamia- Unquestionably
the French operations Will stir the Arabs
to new unrest and activity, in the British
as well as the French areas and may have
repercussion IN Egypt as well as along
the Red Sea coast of Asia. As for Arab
resistance to the French, it can hardly be
serious, save as it develops into guerrilla
warfare, for the French will follow the
railways and are, of course, provided with
tanks, aeroplanes and all the engines of
contemporary warfare.
But, big or little, and the consequences
may be very big, the world has q new war
on its hands, an Arab war, at the precise
moment when it has just been forced TO
recognize that the Greek operations in
Anatolia, backed by the British fleet
along the coast of the Sea of Marmora,
constitute one more Turkish war. And,
however united the Allies may be at Spa,
N Asia the alignment is completely brok-
en-, the Italians are fighting the Greek
allies of Britain and supporting the Turk

truce with the Turk and are attacking the
Arab kingdom, purely British creation,
while not Disgusting their sympathy with
the Turk. Meantime there is another war

est form, at the very least, as Give" as it
was at this time six years ago, when the

There is another advantage in de-

begin the greatest year in the his

will be as much work as can possibly

who wait until late in the spring to
