With the ending of the armistice
between the French in Cilicia and
Mustapha Renal Pasha, leader Of the
Turk Nationalist, came the announce
ment of conference between Mar
shall Foch of France and Sir Henry
Wilson, British chief of staff, at which
it was decided to wage strong cam
paign against the Turks, Neither
France nor England being willing to
send more soldiers, 1t is reported that
Greece will furnish the troops and
the two allied countries most of the
officers. AS a reward Greece is to
have Smyrna. The Turkish situation
is regarded as a serious one. The
peace treaty practically abolished the
Turkish empire, parceling the rich
est portions among the allies and con-
fining the Turks to small district in
Asia Minor without a port, which
leaves them ringed by Greeks, Armeni-
ans and other hostile nationalities. A
realization that this would occur was
responsible for the revolt under KEN
al. The total French casualties dur
ing the temporary occupation of
Cilicia were 5000 men, including Ar
menian troops, and 124 officers. Al
ready the British have suffered heav-
lily from Turk attacks, although their
casualties have not been announced.
Troops are on the way to meet Kemal's
forces, which are said to have adj
vanced beyond Ismid in the direc-
ton Of Constantinople. Last week
British ships were reported lombard
ing the approaches to Ismid.
American Red Cross units are en-
gagged in handling refugee work for
southern Russia from Constantinople
and general relief work in Poland, the
Baltic states, Montenegro, Albania,
Serbia, Czecho- Slovakia, Greece and
Italy, but activities of the United
States in foreign countries are rapid
" being curtailed Outside of Ger
many, the only military mission of the
United States is that headed by Col.
w. N. Haskell, which was assigned by
President Wilson in November, 1919,
to assist the near East relief commit
tee in its work in Asia Minor. In Ger
many 80 United States officers are
serving on the inter-allied high CON-
mission, being included among the I'll
officers who, with 1851 enlisted men,
constitute the United States army of
occupation.

nations desiring independence, with
out any specific mention of Ireland. In
asmuch as the Wilson league cove
nant will be opposed by the Bryan fac
ton, the Democratic senators who
voted for the Lodge reservations and
by other anti-administration elements !;
and as strong forces are working
for modification of the Volstead pro-
hibition enforcement act. either OF
these questions Is regarded as suffi-
cient to force a fight on the floor Of
the convention itself. While there are
many friends of Irish independence In
the convention, II is not domestic
question and may go through In any
manner In which the resolutions COM
mittee decides to treat It.
Both Republican and Democratic
candidates for the presidency will have
the usual amount of company in the
way of side parties. These are very
interesting this year. Certain ele-
ments ameng the suffragists are
threatening an independent party on
account Of failure of Democrats and
Republicans to force a sufficient num-
Der Of states to adopt the suffrage
amendment. Certain drys threaten a
party because Republicans and Demo
Gratis are too wet or neutral. The
vets threaten a party because the
other parties are too dry. Some
negroes threaten party of their
own and propose to substitute William
Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicago, as
their patron saint, instead of Abraham
Lincoln. Radicals, each one of whom
is a party to himself, are going to try
and unite under the banner of the
COMMITTEE of As" with much enthu
siasm for Senator LaFollette of Wis
consin for president; Notwithstanding
the fact that the senator in all his
past periods of disgruntlement over
the actions of his party, has overcome
his disappointment and remained
regular"
Editor Hearst, who failed to die
tate the nominee of the Republican
party and whose counSels seem to
have lost some of their weight in the
Democratic party, is trumpeting loud
w for the formation of new party.
Mayor Thompson, who was Repub-
lican until defeated for national COM
mitteeman and until the supreme court
of his state heaped an indignity upon
him by knocking out primary law
under which his machine had been
successful, is said to be building
springboard to make some kind of
flop. Editor Alexander Moore Of
Pittsburgh, a rampant Progressive,
has come out for Harding. Senator
Poindexter, who was regarded by
many as the only real 'Bull Moose" in
the senate, has announced his inten-
ton to support the Republican ticket.
Neither the Harding Coolidge forces
nor those who will nominate candi-
date at San Francisco, manifest much
perturbation over the various indie
pendent parties threatened. Their at
titude seems to be serenely that OF
"the more, the merrier."

LIBERAL NJ. p. GETS
SIX MONTHS IN JAIL
nt-CoIonel Convicted
of Seditious UtteranceS.

LONDON, Nov. 19.-Lieut. Col. LES
TRANCE Malone, Liberal Member of the
House OF Commons, who was arrested
in Dublin November 10 for alleged sedi-
tious utterances. was to-day sentenced
to six months Imprisonment. Two surety
bonds OF a thousand pounds sterling
cash were demanded pending an appeal
from the judgment Of the court.
Malone declared through his attorney
that he withdrew nothing and apologized
for nothing IN his Albert Hall speech.
The case has caused a sensation In Eng
land because of Malone's position as
member Of the House of Commons and
his notable war record.
The definition OF what constituted Sc
ditious utterances, over which the oppos-
ing counsel had a lengthy argument.
was settled by Magistrate Chester Jones,
who in passing sentence, declared that
any advocacy Of overturning the Gov
eminent of a country by force consti-
tuted sedition. OF this, he held, the ac-
cused undoubtedly was guilty. He added
that Malone went further and advocated
murder under certain circumstances, not
only of Cabinet members. but Of labor
leaders
Malone was also charged with the pos
session of two loaded pistols. in violation
of the law, and linked with this charge
was another allegation that he had in
his possession two cloakroom tickets for
parcels of pamphlets of an alleged Sc
ditious nature which were deposited in
a subway station checking room.

French officials are wondering just
how responsible is Washington d.
VANDERBILT. representing a California
syndicate. who asserts he has closed a
deal with the Russian Soviet Govern
ment aggregating millions of dollars.
Mr.. Vanderlip is now in Stockholm
where he has given out numerous In
terviews describing the Soviet regime
as the finest the world has ever known,
while Nikolai Lenine and Leon Trotzky
apparently stand out on his horizon as
veritable masters Of diplomacy.
But the phase of Mr.. Vanderlip's ac-
tivities which is most interesting the
French is the statement as it reaches
here that thanks to the concessions
which he has obtained to exploit the
oil lands of Siberia. the United States
will control more definitely the worlds
oil markets" According to Mr.. Van
derlip this will end the economic chaos
which until now has resulted in the
Japanese holding control of Oriental
commercial affairs.
As soon as the American syndicate
commences operations, according to
the reports, the goods ordered by the
Soviet Government will be sent across
China and Siberia to the Baltic. While
the direction of the affairs of the syn
dictate will be entirely American, the
labor will be Russian, Chinese and
Japanese.

promised prompt payment. not only in
Russian gold. but also in oil, leather,
platinum, furs, manganese, woods and

American activities in this connection
are likely to arouse diplomatic discus
sions. as the Vanderlip syndicate is re-
ported to have agreed to become the
financial representative of the Soviet
Government. 1t also was reported that
the syndicate is pledged to exert all
possible pressure To lift tho allied
blockade OF Russia.
In French official circles 1t was in
sisted that there was no change in the
attitude of this Government toward
the Soviet regime. In fact, the position
of France was said to have been
strengthened in this regard by increas-
ing evidence that Great Britain was on
the verge of definitely refusing to deal
further with the Bolshevist trade dele
cation headed by Lonid Krassipe, since
a resumption of trade between Great
Britain and Russia was based on the
premises that the debts Of the old Rus
sian regime were to be ackno wledged by
the Rod rulers.
