THE TURKISH SITUATION

Apparently there is to be recognition
by the Allies of the Turkish Nationalist
party, headed by Mustapha kemsl, for
there is to be meeting at London to
discuss the Turkish situation and the
Nation alists have been invited to send a
representative. To what extent recog-
milton will go remains to be seen, but it
is freely predicted that there will be I'M
dertaken revision of the Turkish treaty
which is framed but not in effect. The
probabilities appear to be that some of
the territory awarded to Greece will be
taken away and given to Turkey and a
possibility that Mustapha Kemal's party
will be recognized as Turkey.
The difficulty has been that the Greeks
while driving back the Nationalist have
been unable to conquer them in the. in
terror. The sultan is entirely without
power outside of Constantinople and is
not entirely dominant in the city. So the
Allies are placed in the position of either
compromising with Mustapha or else of
making determined military effort to
abrogate his power and this is an action
that does not appeal much to the Allies.
There will, however, be serious question
if agreements, in relation to other races
in Turkey, that may be made with Mus
tapha would be kept and if compromise
now effected will not mean that the mat
ter must be. taken up again later.-Ban-

The Preparations

At last the premers of France and
England have reached a decision upon
the matter of German reparations and
the decision, so long postponed, is in
favor of the former. The decision may
perhaps be viewed as in the line of
compromise but the French contentious
are more nearly met.
BRAND, for France, was opposed to
lump sum settlement. He did not wish
the account closed at a time when Ger
man capacity to pay is much less than it
may be and doubtess will be in the flu
ture. He wished to have a settlement
that would be so framed that France
would profit as Germany became more
able to pay. On the other hand Lloyd
George has declared for definite sum so
that Germany would be able to figure for
the future and would set about in earnest
upon the work of reconstruction.
The settlement meets both contentious
in a way. The total for the annuities to
be paid is fixed and in addition there is
provided tax upon German exports
which will bring increasing returns as
German business is esta bliShed on an i'm
proved basis.
By the plan upon which the Allies ha
agreed there will be paid by Germany
$500, 600, 900 year for the first two years,
$3.50, 900, 900 year for the next three
years, $1,000 900, 900 year for three
years. and 81, $50, 900, 90 for three years,
to be followed by the payment of ST.
$780, 600, 900 year for term of 81 years.
In addition there will be placed tax
of IL per cent on all German exports for
the next AZ years.
This is the plan but it is possible that
it will yet be changed. There is to be
conference held in London, Feb. % when
Germany will be represented and the
question of reparatlons will be discussed.
We imagine that Germany will strive TO
have change effected in the terms. 1t
desires definite settlement but it will hold
that tax upon its exports will not be
definite adjustment. The Germans will
probably demand that the tax plan be
abandoned. If the Allies do not consent
very likely the Germans will claim their
right to stand upon the terms of the
treaty of Versailles. Bangor CONNER

MAINE ITEMS.

PORTLAND, Me-, Feb. 2. The Boston
Yacht Club plans to resume its summer
cruises along the Maine coast, which
were interrupted by the war. Not so
many years ago the annual visits of the
local Boston tars were big events for To-
cal yachtsmen, as well as in other ports
to the BASTARD. Commodore Richard
Hutchinson, elected last Wednesday
evening at the annual meeting, went on
record as saying that the cruise is bound
to take place with not less tn an 80 boats
participating.
The tentative itinerary of the 1921
cruise, which will start July 80, embraces
calls at Portsmouth, N. H., Portland,
Christmas Cove, Camden and Northeast
Harbor, and side trips about Mt. Desert
for those who desire. 1t has been the
custom of the Portland Yacht Club to en-
terrain their Boston brethren when the
Hub craft reached this port In Golden
days" this was looked upon as the ban
ner occasion of the season.
Boys walking along the seashore at the
southern end of Lubec recently noticed
com motion in the water close to the
beach, and as tAe tide settled down on
the flats they saw a Is foot mud shark
stranded there. 1t was killed with clubs
and stones and its carcass has been view
ed by many. Oneof these sharks turns up
there about every four or five years
They are inha bitants of shallow water
and apparently get inside the lighthouse
bar and become confused as to the direc-
ton of the deep water.
No step will be taken by Maine packers
in preparation for next seasons pack
until the present congestion of foodstutts
is relieved and goods begin to move, until
the :present confusion of economic en-
tanglements is battered down" and until
the western packers take the initiative
and announce their plans. This announce
ment was made by the head of one of the
largest packing companies in Maine upon
his return from the annual meeting of
the National Gamers Association. The
policy of all the packers, he said, will be
one of constructive conservatism. The
pack of Maine corn is said to have been
in excess of consumption for several
years so that large stocks have accunu-

GEM HAS PLACE IN HISTORY
Why Great Ruby Has Been Given
Position of Honor in British
Monarch's State Grown.

The history of England might be
royal emblems. Place of honor in the
front of the kings state crown is given
to the great ruby, which is as large
as small hens egg, and is the ceIe-
brated and historic jewel which first in
its English history belonged to the
Black Prince, the eldest son of Edward
III. The ruby came TO him in knightly
fashion on the field of battle being
given to the Black Prince by Don Pc
dro, king Of Castillo, for skill shown
in a short campaign in Spain. The
ruby does not appear in history until
it took part in the battle of Agincourt,
when Henry V went at the head of his
troops with the ruby glttering on the
front of his cOroneted helmet. More
than century later, when Charles l
was beheaded, it was ordered by par
lament that all the insignia of royalty
should be destroyed, and the gems set
therein sold to the best advantage. In
the list appears the statement that the
great ruby was sold for "a and passed
to some unknown purchaser. "He may
have. been royalist in disguise or he
may have been a dealer in stones, or
this may have been a spurious deal to
favor a parliamentarian but
whatever its adventures during the
commonwealth era, we find the ruby
safe and sound back in the state crown
of Charles H."

HARDEST PROBLEM In WORLD.
(The No. American.)

Lloyd George did not exaagerate when
he said last week that reparations pre-
sented 'tthe hardest problem of the whole
world today" AS he grimly observed:
All the Allied nations agree that Ger
many must pay the indemnity by her ex-
ports; but all agree thu tthey do not want
German exports. Every nation wants to
protect it's own industries. Every nation
wants to collect its debts. Germany has
not enough gold to pay the Allies. The
Allies have not enough gold to pay the
United States. And everybody wants to
be paid in gold.
Then there is the formidable difficulty
that any settlement must have the APP
prevail and cooperation of the United
States, the big creditor nation-France
must be able to discount her expectations
from Germany for cash, and the United
States must be persuaded that Americans
ought to pay the Allies IL per cent on all
German goods this country buys. Mean
while, Germany must be induced to as
sent to revision of the reparation articles
in the treaty of Versailles.

HERE AND THERE

People have been considerably inter-
ested of late in Sir Oliver Lodges efforts
and those of other persons, to get COM
munlcations from those who have gone
to the spirit land. So far as the writer
knows, their efforts have all been direct
ed to those who have gone, as the Indians
say, to the "happy hunting grounds, :"
ignoring those who got elected to the
other place. Now the earthly lives of
the latter have been great deal more
interesting and exciting than the former
class and there is reason to believe they
may be in another existence. Anyway
it is on the authority of Shakespeare that
the evil man does lives after him, while
the good is ofttimes buried with his bones;
so IT interest is desired better direct the
wireless to where it may be expected to
exist Prophet Wilbur Glenn Voliva of
the Zion Colony, Illinois, has anticipated
this and has got out Handbook and
Guide to He'll" based on what he terms
"helligrams," he says he has received.
According to these hell is an awful place.
Of course one does not expect an inhabi-
tant of that sphere to be orthodox, and
they are not. They are all homeopathists
over there and believe in the law ''similia
similibus curantur;" that is, every sinner
is punished by an overdose of his own
sin. For instance, a tobacco smoker is
baconed in box of tobacco smoke; and
a chewer will be immersed in a nata-
forum of juice Should it be whiskey
he is addicted to, then he would be en-
balmed in alcohol. Any one blessed with
mulierosity during his earthly career will
be sentenced to wait on all the whims of
Delilah, CleoDatra Anne Boleyn or any
other woman who may have got to this
place during the ages for punitive pur-
poses.-Oxford Democrat.

" ARMs YOUR BLOOD.

A kpoet has said that "the owlf or all
his feathers was a-cold" Some people
for all their wraps are a-cold whenever
they are outof-doors even in normal
winter weather.
1t is plain that they need the warmth
there is in pure, rich, red blood which
reaches through artery and vein, from
head to foot, all over the body. They
could be told by many people, from ex-
perience, that To have this good blood
they should take Hoods Sarsaparilla
This great medicine has really made it
possible for many men and women, boys

WHY
The Giving Of an Apple Was
a Real Tip

The sophisticated city man, wise in
his own conceith land full of sense of
that wisdom, will smoker when he
hears of how Nebraska ''rube" gave
a hotel bellhop a big red apple as a
tip. But Just let the smart aleck
think moment.
Giving of apples has had some ma
terial and permanent effect on the
destiny of the human race. 1t started
right at the very beginning, when
Mother Eve gave one to Adam, and
from that day to this the train Of
events then set in motion has been
troubling mankind. That, of course,
is familiar story.
Then there is the episode in which
Venus permitted Paris to present an
apple to Helen, which simple little act
Launched a thousand ships, and
burned the topless towers of Ilium."
Apples that grew only in the Gar
den of Hesperides brought something
of fame to Hercules, but he gathered
them.
In fact, the history of the race teens
with incidents in which an apple
has had something to do with
shaping destiny. We may turn away
from that and consider the point in a
more material aspect.
Had the farmer given the boy
dime, it would have been in strict
accord with conventions. Yet the boy
would have had some difficulty in ex-
changing that dime for big red ap-
Pile He could not eat the dime, but
he could devour, INCEST, digest, assim-
ilate and enjoy the fruit. Therefore,
just in the degree that the pleasure
OF eating a large and juicy apple, no
matter what variety, exceeds the slip
ping of thin dime into ones pocket,
so did the boy gain through the farm
er's generosity. 1t was real tip, all
right, rare enough and therefore, the
more noteworthy.-Om Bee.

Why Nature Makes So Many Drones.

Every beehive has hundreds of
drones, lazy fellows who stay at home
when the weather is chill Or wet, eat
the food their toiling sisters bring in,
and lead life of ease and luxury.
The time comes, however, when the
queen bee is born, and goes about her
wicked work of singing to death all
her sister queens before they can
emerge from their cells. She takes
short flights thereafter for several
days, and at the end of a week is
ready for her bridal trip. She dashes
out in overwhelming spirals, and after
her rush the suitors 20, so, perhaps
1000. AS she is the strongest and
swiftest of all, it is but following I'M
til she, weary of her trip or ready for
the climax of her existence, turns and
greets the first of the drones to reach
her side. He dies in her very embrace,
and she wings back to the hive where
she lays upward of half a million eggs.
