CONSTANTINOPLE. Jan. IS
Turkey has not yet gone Bolshe-
visit. but if Europe really thinks
there is no danger from the Turks
being converted to Communism it
Is badly mistaken. Aside from the
political situation. the economic po-
sition of the Turkish population in
AnatOlia and COnStantinOplC is
most conducive to Bolshevism
a vast majority of the Turks
have absolutely nothing to lose II
the country becomes SOvietized.
There arc not fifty Turks today
who have as much as 100000 and
nearly all of us are living hand
to mouth. Greeks, Armenians, other
Christians, and Jews are the only
ones in COnstantinople who are
wealthy and constitute the only
force in the country hostile to So
Wet principles. But as you may
imagine the fact that such people
have reason to oppose Communism
simply helps its spread among the
Turks"

ing Arbitrary Discharge of
Enlisted Men.

Washington, June 2S.-Althougl
President Harding is expected to sign
the army appropriation bill reducing
the standing army to 10000, he prob
ably will call attention to congress to
certain provisions of the measure which
he is understood to consider will re-
Quire modification at the next session.
The measure, which has been refer
red by the White House to the war
department, was discussed at confer
ence late Tuesday of the president.
Secretary Weeks. Speaker Gillett and
Republican Leader Mondell. Of the
house, Representative Greene, of Yer
mont. Republican member Of the
house military committee. and Senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho.
Discuss Reduction Clause.
1t is understood that a provision of
the bill adopted at the suggestion Of
Senator Borah and affecting the reduc-
ton of personnel occupied most atten-
ton and that the president explained
why he considered that this provision
might need modification later.
As it has come from conference. the
appropriation measure provides that
the reduction to 10000 men must be
accomplished by October 1. War de-
partment officials say this will require
the dlScnarge OF several thousand men
by arbitrary means.
Under the Borah provision, the de-
partment is prohibited from exceeding
the actual amount appropriated, stip-
ulation which Secretary Weeks is un-
derstood to feel might force the gov
ernment, in its efforts to reduce the
enlisted strength. to break its enlist
ment contracts with some of the men
to be discharged.
1t is expected that when the presi-
dent signs the bill within the next day
or two, he will set forth this position
in more detail and will point out what
changes he considers should be made
in order to rectify the situation

The representatives of the bond

visable to wait until later in the year,
when the bonds might be sold without
loss to the state.

which the interest rate was limited
