SEE us. AND ALLIES
SPLIT over TURKEY
Presidents Demand for Sultan's
Expulsion Against Wishes
of other Powers.

PARIS, March 31.-close observers
here see strong probability OF def-
mite split between the allies and the
United States as q result OF President
Wilson's note demanding the'expui-
sion OF the Turk from Europe IN
cluding Constantinople. This is at
direct variance with the plans or the
British, French and Italian premiers
who are authoritatiyely reported 10
be agreed on permitting the sultan 10
remain In Constantinople.
The note. which was addressed to
the French ambassador at washing
ton. under date OF March "a. also Is
said to clash with other schemes for
procedure in the Near East toward
which the allied diplomats have been
working.
Thrsce For Bulgaria
It strongly objects to the propose
to turn over the northern part OF
Thrace TO the Greeks and fayors the
claims OF Bulgaria to this territory
on "ethnic and historical grounds"
The Armenian question Is touched
upon again with a renewal or the
plea that Armenia be treated gener-
ously with regard to her need for an
easy and unencumbered access TO
the sea-" 1t suggests Trebizond be
awarded to Armenia.
Reference to the reported secret
treaty between Great Britain ana
Turkey which permits the Turks to
remain In Constantinople in return
for Mohammedan recognition OF
British control of the Dardanelles
and provinces in Asia Minor captured
during the war is seen in the very
pointed suggestion that these matters
be left to the disposal of a concert Of
the great powers.
Justice For U. 8. Trade.
In like manner is reference to the
charges that American firms are be-
ing Disseminated against In Near
East territory occupied by the allies,
especially those held by the British.
in the statement that 1t Is the under
standing OF the United States that
American citizens and corporations
shall not be less favorably affected
than those Of the parties to the Turk
ish treaty in any final settlement.
The note, which is viewed as a
reply to the allied premiers statements
on the status of negotiations concern
ing Turkey declines the invitation
for the United States, "in the present
circumstances" to be represented at
the conference, but insists that Amer
lea Is so vitality interested in the
future peace Of the world as to have
a right to express its views regard
ing a settlement.
The note is signed by cambridge
Colby as Secretary of State, but was
drafted before he took office, 1t is
understood.

America s Best Six NoveEsts

IF the judgment of their fellow craftsmen
is to be considered of any value, thu
best six American novelists are Theo
dore Dresser, Edith Wharton, James Branch
Cabell, Booth Harrington, Gertrude Anterior
and Villa Sibert Gather.
This, at least, is the selection made by
the Writer'S Club, of New York, society
which, though by no means the supreme
court of literature, numbers many of the
foremost American men and women of letters
among it's members and may we'll reflect the
opinion of American writer's at large

V/OU complain of inability to progress in
7 your chosen occupation.

10y II. DIuCC
xIOU complain of inability to progress in
7 your chosen occupation.
You wonder why it is that other
young fellows, whom you feel to be less we'll
endowed with brains than yourself, are given
better paying work than any intrusted to
you
Perhaps they are using what brains they
have to better purpose than you. Perhaps,
more particularly, they are developing their
minds by reading and studying both more in
tensively and extensively than you.
What do you read, anyway?
You say you read the newspapers. Do you
make it a point to read the editorials in
them, and the practical and cultural articles
they day after day contain?
Or do you as a rule "skip" them, to turn
with hungry avidity to the sporting page and
the news reports of crimes and scandals?
What about your magazine reading?
Is it confined to the Ightest of light fic-
ton? Or do you give attentive thought to
essays and articles calculated to enlarge your
knowledge of life in general and to betstow
on you a broader, more earnest point of
view?
AS for books, do you ever so much as
look inside book? Do any books other
than best sellers in the fiction field hold a
real appeal for you?
I would not have you devote all your leis-
ure to reading. Nor would 1 have you en-
t1rely deny yourself the pleasure of reading
for entertainment only. But some serious
reading I certainly would have you do every
day.
Otherwise 1 shall not be surprised if, to
the very end of your life, you continue COM
planning about your inability to get on in
the world. Dodge all serious reading and
you are more than likely to dodge all serious
thi~ king. And without serious thinking sue
cess must ever prove elusive.
So must the contentment, the satisfaction
accruing as rict reward to all possessors
of truly cultivated minds.
Begin today, then, to do some serious
reading systematically, if hitherto you have
been a dodger of serious reading all your
life.
Cease the polish habit of refusing to give
even feeting glance at what you consider
the "highbrow stuff in newspapers and
magazines. Really, son, you have got to be-
come a bit of "highbrow" yourself, if you
are ever to gan from life all you can and
should.
Subscribe for one Or two good trade jour
nails relating to your special line of work.
Begin to build up little trade library of
your own, containing books of technical
helpfulness to you.
And, as your means permit, gradually add
to this private library to make it include
good books of a general Characterization
that is really classic, good biography, his
torical works. popular treatises on religion,
philosophy, and psychology, even some
poetry.
Every dollar spent on a good book prop
erly read and reread, one may say without
exaggeration, is a dollar so invested as to
yield incredibly rich returns. These may not
come tomorrow they may not come next
week. But soon or late they are sure to
come, to the joy of the investor.
