now because he has declined to accept a bequest

If this devotee of poverty has been correctly

The main value of this latest dramatically de-

in the discussion it will raise to the ethics of
dealing with earned and unearned fortunes; and in
far it does that it will be illuminating hap

WILD BUFFALO FOUND

herd of buffalo somewhere in the
Mackenzie river basin has fingered
among the fur posts. Indians told
OF sighting II blackening the wild
pastures of remote valleys. No
white men had seen 1t. But trap
pers had chanced upon its trampled
trail and ten years ago, two mighty
bulls, that had struggled far from
their fellows, were killed.
+. II. kitto, engineer of the Nat
ural Resources Branch of the De-
partment of the Interior, who has
returned from five months of ex-
plorations in the Mackenzie country,
reports that he saw the herd and
estimates it at 1000 head. He re-
ceived reports, he says, from In
dians that another herd equally as
large exists farther north.

"The UnspeakabIe Turk. "

In full of irones and punctured ilu-
sions you never can tell where when the call will
next arise for power to face stoically the tragic
comedy of new international relations.
To illustrate. Whatever else was to follow VIC
tory of the allies the Turk was to be punished with
election not only from Europe but from constant-
nople and the fairest portions of Asia Minor. His
own delinquencies of character demanded it: and
moreover had he not consorted with and fought
side by side with Germany and Austria?
Yet today with Venezilos out of power in
Athens, the Greek army in Asia Minor dsintegrat-
ing, Wrangel defeated in South Russia the Boil
shevik forces in control in Armenia and on friendly
terms with the Turkish nationalists, and Great
Britain and France shaky to their tenure in
regions formerly Turkish. the Turk is coming
back" His appeals for relief from the Greek armys
severity are being answered; and to compose the
Near Eastern situation and if possible block the
Russian communist drive toward military control of
Central Asia and India and union with partially
won China, Great Britain and France are now pre-
pairing to revise the treaty of Sevres, and to hand
back to Turkey territory awarded to Greece Italy
in the meantime sits by and smiles, and says Il
told you So"
With this situation it is quite futile to ask the
United States to attempt to win for Armenia either
by persuasion or by of police power, any con-
cession from the Turks, matter which faction of
the latter triumphs. There is Turco- Russian
combination extant now with unlimited possibilities
for altering the of history in its hands and
it starts out its hostile to all the educa
tional, religious and sentimental interests with
which the United States is bound up in its past re-
lations with Turkey. 1t is combination that may
not last long, but it is giving Great Britain and
France the nightmare, for they have neither the
military force with which to combat, nor the morale
in their home populations that will permit call to
arms in defense of Christian races and of Christian
propaganda institutions. That the men in power
in Russia now really care anything about Moslem
interests or about Moslems as such no sane man
supposes; but they shrewd enough to utilize
temporary alliance with Moslems and formal
pledge of support of Moslem interests to further i'm
mediate and ultimate overturnings in the social
structure of Asia.
