Mustapha Renal and his supporters
are supreme in the greater part Of the
interior of Asia Minor. British dread
naughts line the Bosporus and British I
troops occupy Constantinople, thus
dominating the center of events and
preventing for the time being, at
least, complete cooperation between
the various units of the nationalistic
revolt. The sultan is powerless, but
the revolutionaries take little account
of him, asserting that he has been
guilty of treachery and lacks courage.
The nationalistic movement claims au-
thority in its opposition to the dis
memberment of Turkey. ....-
Our governments reply to a request
Of the allied powers for President
Wilson's views does not accord in all
respects with the tentative proposal
for settlement of the Turkish question.
AS stated, the view of the United
States government is that there is no
danger Of a general Mohammedan up
rising if the sultan is put out Of Con-
stantinOple; that Armenia should be
accorded liberal treatment in the mat
ter of territory, including an outlet to
the sea; that no government should
have a paramount interest in the de-
velopment Of Turkish territory merely
because such government was a bel
Iigerent and that the Dardanelles
should be administered by an inter-
national body on which place should
be reserved for Russia when that
country is finally rehabilitated. The
tentative plan of settlement as adj
vanced by the allies was for certain
definite dominating influences by other
powers and laid stress upon the dan
ger of a general Moslem uprising in
sympathy with Turkey. The note Of
the United States asserts that the
other Moslem people have nothing in
common with Turkey and contributed
to the defeat of the Turks in the war.

This will permit partial absorption
in coal prices of the % per cent wage
increase recommended in the report.
Also the increased freight rates which
the interstate commerce commission ID
expected to grant will be taken care
of in an increased price for coal. Dam
ger of strike arises from the fact Of
the expiring contract between miners
and operators, which also terminates
at the same time as government price
control. Anthracite miners have shown
a disposition not to take action until
a new contract can be considered. In
the bituminous field the conciliatory
spirit is not so evident.

way places Of the country, who have
no religious life--who know not Christ
and his teachings---is it not more ap-
palling, and more Of slur upon our
Christianity to find that there are
thousands living in the very shadow
of our churches, to whom religion and
all it means in the moral and spiritual
life Of the community, is closed
book; to find that great majority of
the children who come before our
courts as Juvenile offenders and delin-
quents, have never heard the "sweet
story of old" that is the first step in
the formation of character.
Let us not be ignorant Of this mo-
mentous alliance of the churches, let
us have a part in this campaign for
Christendom-let US during this week
help with our financial aid; and later
let us further with our prayers, our
devotion and our earnestness the
great survey that is to make possible
the evangelization of all the people
not only in lands afar-but in our own
beloved America. So will we become

love God and their fellow-men."

So PER CENT PROFIT
LEADS TO SUICIDE

What does it profit a man if he
gains SO per cent earnings on his in
vestment and loses his liberty? How
does fat bank roll lessen the hard
ships of life in jail?
Evidently, Jos. Nichthauser, a
Brooklyn haberdasher, could not find
the answer because he shot himself
in the head on April IL while await
ing trial on charge Of violating the
Lever Act by profiteering.
Nichthauser was out on $500 bail.
He was alleged to have averaged SO
per cent on articles sold in his store.
"Flying Squadron" agents of the De-
partment Of Justice visited NIGHT
hauser's store and with his code dis
covered that raincoats which cost the
merchant 1923 were selling at $45, and
others that cost $50 were marked up
to $64. On examining Nichthauser's
books of the store the Federal men
found that during 1919 his gross sales
were $123, 1876, and his merchandise
cost $77,750.79, his gross profits were
SAC, 081.56, and overhead charges were
$21 ,697.47, including $6430 which
Nichthauser allowed himself as sal
larry.

DIVIDENDS AND TAXES

Several more corporations announce
stock dividends. A tobacco company
will divide rs per cent. A widely
known mercantile company will divide
80 per cent. A file company will di-
vide 100 per cent; a tank-car COM
pany 300 per cent.
These announcements came on a
single day. They are preceded by a
long list, including textile mills and
steel companies, motor concerns, fuel,
gas and what not, with rates Of divi-
sion ranging from 20 to 300 per cent.
Such dividends are now well under
stood since the Supreme Courts de-
cision classifying them as distribu-
tions not of income subject to income
tax but of capital. They are divisions
among stockholders of title to surplus
earnings which have not been distri-
buted in cash but have been retained
in the business as added capital.
They reflect, therefore, the recent
or war accumulation of surplus earn
ings or profits above what have been
divided in cash, which in every case
Of a stock dividend are shown to be
uncommonly large and in many cases
so enormous as to equal and to exceed
by two or three times the actual cap
ital invested by stockholders.
The excess-profits tax was avowedly
designed to reach these inordinate
profits growing out of war conditions
and appropriate them in large part
for the public treasury. But how far
has this been the case? Every one OF
these stock dividends is evidence
