SOUiets and Islam,
Rock British Empire



Exhausted Europe is capable only of
halfway measures. Exhausted Europe
confronts tho prospect of a revolt Of
the whole Mohammedan world led by
the Rolsheviki. Europe at Paris re
fused such an organization of the world
as the United States desired. The
lTuitod States backed out of the com
bination, although President Wilson
was committed to it.
And now Europe faces the con
sequences of its failure to pacify Rus
sia and its creating. under the guise of
mandates, of a huge imperialism in near
eastern Asia, extending to India.
Europe put its faith in force. Now,
exhausted and having little force to
spare. it must combat force in the East
of unknown dimensions but of huge
possibilities.
Turkey is First Danger Point
Dispatches from London indicate
that Turkey is the first danger point.
The Bolshevik occupation of Trans
caspasia creates the probability of the
passing of the Caucasus, and june
tion with Mustapha Kennel Pasha. head
of the Turkish nationalsts, including
union of bolshevism and Moham-
mechanism. This junction made, Meso-
potamia is threatened and the whole
string of Mosem British possessions
threatened
The weakness of Europe. meaning
Britain and France, is that the United
States has not accepted a mandate for
Turkey. In their imperialist dreams at
| Paris, part of the responsibility for
holding the Moslem world was to rest
upon Turkey.
Had America accepted the mandate
for Turkey, the Bolshcvik drive might
have struck us first, compelling us to
throw our resources into maintaining
the Gordon sanitaire between bolshevism
and Islamism. But we did not, and
practical responsibility for Turkey has
fallen upon the British, aided by the
French, as the second great Mussulman
power. The result is, Britain is ter
ribly overextended, as a heavy specula-
tor is found to be overextended when
financial crisis comes.
Must Placate Mussulmans
To hold NIohammedan India, Britain
has had to take Mohammedan Egypt.
To hold India again she has had to
take Mohammedan Mesopotamia. To
protect the whole eastern empire she
has had to force II sort control upon
nominally independent Mohammedan
Persia.
Again, she and France have had to
hold Turkey and Syria, while their
final disposition waits upon the pleasure
of the United States. Thus the whole
of Islam is in the hands of Great Britain
and France. 1t is in the hands of two
powers exhausted by the greatest war
in history. Their credit is ruined, their
social fabric weakened by revolutionary
ideas.
And the world held is ripe for revolu-
ton. 1t has listened to Wilson. 1t
took the professions with which the
Peace Conference at Paris began seri-
ously. And later it has listened to
Lenine and watched his military sue
cess.
The holding company which was TO
dominate Islam was to be based upon
American resources and Americas un-
impaired energies. With this element
left out, it is terribly overeXtended.
There is no sign here in Washington
of any aid fro mthis country except the
lending of money to Poland to aid in her
defense against the Bolsheyists. Hav-
ing aided in setting up this country, we

threatened with social reorganization
and the Bolshevik bogy was useful
means of holding together ranks of con .
servatism and moderate social reform.
SO long as change could be given Il

tained.
The bogy has been maintained and

they will fight bolshevism to the death

tation ''of the President of the great
American people,

tatlon 'of the President of the great
American people"
For Peace and Fraternity
He mentioned the skepticism amidst
which the league was born and said
this was fact to be neither exaggerated
nor ignored. He added that among the
duties of the league would be to give
attention to the high cost of trausporta =
ton, the high cost of living, and the
state of international finance.
Ambassador Da Cunha. for Brazil
said his country would devote herself
with fervor to the work of peace and
fraternity among the nations. He re-
ferred to the fact that he was the only
representative from America present
and said he was proud to have the honor
of bringing assurances of the co opera
ton of Pan America in the operation OF
the league.
After the delivery of the speeches NJ
Bourgeois announced that the only item
on the order of the day was the ap-
pointment of three members of the com
mission to fix the boundaries of the
Sarre valley. together with one member
appointed by the French Government
and one by Germany. The council
named as its members Colonel Waco.
an English officer; Mayor Lambert, a
Belgian, and Major Kobaish, Jap
apese.
Next Meeting in London
After the appointment of the com
missioners NJ. Bourgeois proposed Lou
don as the place for the next meeting
of the council, and this was approved.
Lord Curzon suggested leaving the date
and the order of business open, to be
decided by the chairman and the sec
retary, since, he said, 1T will be nee
essary to consult the United States on
a great many questions likely to arise. "
The entrance of Premier Lloyd George
and Viscouut Grey occurred during the
delivery of NJ. Bourgeois's speech, aud
was almost unobserved. When their
presence became known to the mem
bcrs of the council an usher was sent
to invite them to take seats in the
front.
The British premier excused himself
saying it was necessary for him to leave.
Chairman Bourgeois addressed few
words of welcome to Niscount Grey,
who replied that he had no standing in
the meeting and no right to take the
floor. but that he desired to acknowl- :
edg the gracious reception accorded him
and was proud to be present on the oc
casion of such good augury for the
future of the world

sides that at the meeting Saturday or at

Note the Quality
of the Essex

If speed is your requirement see if the
Essex does not meet it. Where luxury
and finish are demanded compare the
Essex with any car.
1t is needless to speak of the Hudson.
All know what it has done. It's records,
which prove supremacy throughout the
range of performance, are confirmed by
the satisfaction that more than $4,000
owners know in their Super-Sixes.
The supply of Hudsons and of Essex
has never been sufficient for the demand.
You can only insure yourself against
disappointment in getting either of these
popular cars, by placing your order under
the convenient plan we have set forth
above.

DryTjme Atrocity.

A tale Of woe, with Sir Arthur Shir-
ley Benn. head Of the British trade
mission, was told at a dinner at New
York. Sir Arthur. when he arrived In
the United States, brought his own sup
ply with HMM golf bag. Recently
the supply was exhausted-all save q
half-bottle of real stuff. Calling In
some Of his fellow delegates, Sir Ar
thur proposed a final drink. Glasses
were filled, the bottle was emptted and
a toast was proposed. Sir Arthur likes
water in his. And at some of the Amer
lean hotels where he had stopped they
have cute little taps stuck into the wall
or into the washbowl from which leo
water flows when the button Is pressed.
This was the last drink and Sir Arthur
wanted to be careful. So he pressed
the button carefully. Then he tried to
down his drink He didn't; he mad
made a mistake. Instead Of the Ice
water tap he had used a tag that yield
ed liquid soap.

launch this poignant shaft of criticism
at the head of the American Fedora

concerned. was gesolved, Immediately
after Mr.. GOmpers started his opening
talk, into an attack on and a defense
Of the Kansas Industrial court, by the
opposing speakers.
Governor Aliens main contention
was that government has the right to
protect the public against strikes,
when its welfare is inlperiled, while
Mr.. Gompers held to the argument
that no law can prevent a man from
stopping work if, by doing so, he may
benefit himself and his family. Mr.
Gompers labelled the Kansas Indus

law" ,.,a
The oratory of the debaters was
punctuated with frequent cheers and
boos by adheernts of each side and
occasional questions shouted from the
floor and the balconies
Gompers Defends Strikes.
In support of the right to strike, Mr..
Gompers said the coal miners strike
took boys out of the mines. The tex
tile workers strike brought children
out of the mills and put them in the
school-room, while the strike in the
needle trades broke up the sweatshops
when laws had failed to do so.

mandment was, "You shall not con-
