Washington.-Presid Wilson may
warn the Allies that It will be neces-
sary to withdraw the treaty Of Yer
saflles from the Senate II the Turks
are allowed to remain In Constantin-
ople, it is learned.
The President is understood to have
such a step under advisement.
It was pointed out on high authority
that should the United States join the
League Of Nations and the Turks be
permitted to remain In Constanttnople
this country would be in the position
Of being obligated to protect a settle
ment to which it is opposed.
The issue of whether the sultan
shall be allowed to stay in Constan-
tinople bids fair to overshadow in in
ternational importance the Adriatic
dispute: according to developments.
- Allies Reply Made Public.
Washington.-The text of the note
from the French and British premiers
on the Adriatic situation to which
President Wilson's reply has just been
delivered in London was made public
by the State department. 1t conforms
closely to the summary cabled from
London on February ~ and emphas-
ICES the Importance attached by the
premiers to the fact that Mr.. Wilson
had previously expressed his willing
ness to accept a settlement arrived
at by direct negotiations between
Italy and Jugo-Slavia. 1t has been as
sumed here that the Presidents reply
will be found on publication to deal
mainly with the invitation Of the pre-
miers that he join them in formally
proposing such. negotiations to the
Italian and Jugo-Slav governments. No
intimation of his answer, however, has
been given out, and owing to the fact
that it was necessary for the Presi-
dents most recent note to reach Pre-
mier Millerand in France it will not
be made public for several days.

WILLING TO BE SHOWN.

s,., .: '"DIAtNS5 ~ BE StJOWN. -
Y Is the public really in love with
high prices? The accusation has
been made repeatedly by dealers who
insist that in many shops moderately
priced goods move very slowly, If at
all; and that the higher the figure on
the price tag the more certain is
quick sale. OF course, it is true that
there are people whe, this year, are
handling more money than they ever
conceived Of before and are spending
1t like the celebrated Scotty of Death
Valley when he struck the great city.
But these are somewhat exceptional.
During the war there was a reason
for which the economical learned to
pass by inexpensive articles. Short
ages Of various kinds impaired quail
fty, and the public learned by painful
experience that durability could not
be had at prewar rates. This men,
ory has lasted, says Boston Globe.
Many buyers not at all in favor Of
parting with their money are still
afraid Of wasting it entirely by put
ting it into shoddy Of one sort or an
other. Since the war conditions have
changed. Materials are better> than
when the government was equipping
100000 soldiers. But, until the pub
lie is educated to recovered values, it
will be suspicious Of low-priced goods.

Springfield, (Mass.) Repub. For the
good of the party, the House military
committee consents to have the army
bill reported without the universal
training provision. Otherwise, this
feature would have been beaten by a
combination of democrats and rcpub-
licans in the House, and the democrats
would have claimed credit for the
change. When Mr.. Mondell said that
the party which. established compulsory
training would invite its own political
death, he probably did not misrepresent
public opinion. There was never any
probability that the republicans, in the
year of presidential election, would
take the responsibility for such pol
icy.

More than 1000 farmers were accom-
modated with loans from the Federal
Farm Loan Board 8 funds during the
month of January. Their aggregate
borrowings were above $15,000,00o.
These loans were for long periods and
at interest rates much below those
charged by private lenders. Many
thousands of farmers have been direct
ly benefited by this federal loan plan
since its inception, and thousands more
have reaped an indirect advantage thru
the reduction in interest rates brought
about by this governmental agency.
Like the Federal Reserve System, the
farm loan act is Democratic legislation
and is likely to remain on the books,
notwithstanding all the Republican
threats to repeal it.
