William Anterior Du Puy-

Senator George Higgins Moses OF New Hamp-
shire. who Is nrst-cisss picture OF live, push
ing Yankee. admits that he is the man who dis
covered Venizelos, the Great Man of Greece.
Senator Moses the American minister at
Athens during the Taft Administration. He had
been at his post about week when the Balkans
broke into flame. He just naturally felt like
fixer. he looked the situation over, talked II
with Irwin Loughlin, of Pittsburgh. his sec
rotary of legation.
The military league had been formed and these
Americans decided that what II needed was
psrlismentarisn, a man who could work 1t. They
looked over the field and spotted this lawyer,
.venizelos, down in Crete. He had been pulling
some spectacular stuff in a small way. He look
ed like a good bet.
1t was so engineered that YenizeIos came up
to Athens. The second day he there the
American minister. most ostentatiously, with
all the retainers he could muster right out In
the bright sunshine, went to call on the man
from Crete. Very this call was no less
tentatiously returned. It directed attention TO
Venizelos other similar methods were used,

a political editor of a Concord newspaper twenty
years for nothing.
And so II happened that the original draft of
the Baltic League, glorious for day but DOOM
ed to disentegration, was written in the study OF
the American minister and that Senator Moses
today has in his possession the very hrst draft
of 1t.
Forty years ago a farm boy named Elmer Ball
received a bulletin from the Government which
was entitled Entomology for Farmers Sons"
Its purpose w to tell them how to keep down
the insects that destroyed crops But what II
did in the case of Elmer was to arouse In him
the desire to know more about Insects, TO be-
entomologist
So he wrote to four men who he was told,
were the greatest entornologists in the country,
and asked each II. after studying entomology

he could make living at II.
Three out OF the four advised against his try

cultural College, encouraged him. SO he saved
his money and went to study under DR.. Osborn.

The March
of EUents
ONDON dispatches reveal that
the entire British Mediterra-
mean feet Is moving toward

COnstantinople. British troop rein
forcements are on the way to the
same point.
Coincident with these statements
are rumors-probably advance dip
lomatic "feelers that Rumania
will begin hostilities against the
Russians and Turks. And from
Reval comes the report that Soviet
troops and Japanese forces are bat
ting in Eastern Siberia.
AT the same time dispatches from
Constantinople say that the Turkish
Nationalist have overrun the Ismid
region and are crossing into the
neutral zone, while the Soviet army
under Brusiloff is advancing to join
the Turks.
The probable eventuality of real
war in the East, to which attention
has been frequently called in this
column, comes near realization
every day. Nor will such a war be
a small affair, but a fierce struggle
for England's domination and en-
pire in Asia and England's control
of Russia's outlet to the oceans.
No wonder that the English gov
eminent is making such overtures
to the Irish Republican leaders and
is feverishly cultivating the good
will of Germany. The most prob
able outcome of the whole problem
is an alliance between England and
! Germany and Japan to pounce upon
Russia and Turkey and divide spoils
far greater than the losses of the
tremendous war that has almost
wrecked both the British and the
German empires.
Ambassador Wallace's lingo
speech has won him an unusual
amount of laudation in Paris, but
the cold truth is that this kind of
after-dinner patriotism does not
represent sober American sentiment.
Thousands of Americans still nurse
an affection for France, on so-called
historical grounds, but the country
would not listen to any proposition
to go to war in Europe either to fur
ther French militarism or to collect
French war claims or to support
France against an attack provoked
by her military caste. o,
The Wallaces and Simses and
Bedfords are doing neither the
French nor the British any good by
pledging American lives and dollars
In case either of those peoples feel
that they need more lives and more
dollars from America in future
wars.
All trustworthy reports from Ger
many show a remarkable revival of
the German spirit of industry.
Everywhere the people are working,
the railroads are running to SEIZED
ule, the factories are on full time,
wages are satisfactory and the old
quiet and order are in evidence.
The final settlement of the indem-
nifty question and the abatement of
the invasion terror have wrought a
wonderful change in few short
months. a.., ., .......
There is one factor which the vic
torious Allies overlooked. In dis
arming Germany, so as to make her
helpless against other militarisms,
they most effectually relieved Ger
man industry of the tax in men and
money which the former miGtarism
imposed, and thus put tremendous
economic advantage in German
hands.
As matters are now shaping them
selves, it is pretty plain that the
Allies defeated Germany on the
military and political battlefelds
snd then presented her with the

The Peace
Resolution
n HE peace resolution attracted
scant notice amid the public

Still, it was quite an event and in
terested persons whose mentality
has not risen to the lofty heights of
the prize ring.
The most important immediate
result will be the resumption of the
full diplomatic and consular rela-
tons. Had it not been for Mr.. Viii
sons peevish anger at the Senate,
these relations would have been re-
sumed at the time the Knox resolu-
ton met the Presidential veto, and
the world would have been that
many months ahead on the hard
road to reconstruction.
1t has taken Mr.. Harding only
few weeks to redeem his promise of
declared peace with Germany, and
we think he has done very well.
Doubtless our troops will soon be
on their way home, and we can then
close that dangerous experiment,
and be done with physical contact
with Europe's endless and senseless
quarrels and warfare.
Yes, Mr.. Harding has done a good
job.
The danger spots in Europe and
Asia are as thick as freckles on a
healthy country boys face. But
there are two which stand out. '
One is Russia.
The other is Turkey.
All the moves on the diplomatic
chessboard are now incidental to
these two pieces.
India, Siberia, Silesia, Poland,
Bulgaria, Rumania, Greece, Pales-
tine, Persia-these are the pawns
and the minor pieces that the chan |
celleries of France, England, Italy
and Germany push over the squares.
The Russian Soviet Republic is no
longer the timid, harassed, chased
and cornered thing it was. 1t is a
power to be reckoned with by the
strongest. Neither is Turkey at all
the weak thing it is generally mag
ined to be. In Asia the Turk is
strong, and back of him is the whole
strange power of a religious senti-
ment-the militant piety of the
Moslem world.
The Turks are brave soldiers.
There are none better. Ask any
English officer who has seen them
in camp or in battle. The Russian,
when he is fighting for Russia of
his own will, is a first-class soldier.
And both Turks and Russians are
wonderfully good irregular soldiers.
The huge extent of Russia and Asia
Minor, and the character of the ter
ritories, makes irregular warfare
natural and potent.
If the Soviet and Turkish armies
continue the march toward Constan-
tinople England will have a fight of |
on her hands. That is
why she holds to her japanese
alliance at present, and is busily en-
gagged paving the way for an
alliance with Germany. These three
could very profitably divide Russia
and Turkey between them-leaving
France out.
Mr.. Carpenter sprained his
thumb and suffered scratch on one
cheek, which bled several drops of
blood.
Mr.. Dempsey sustained no iniu-
ries that were apparent.
After having been knocked down
and duly counted out, Mr.. Carpen-
tier at once leaped to his feet and
engaged in cheerful conversation
with the smiling Mr.. Dempsey.
Ninety thousand people paid more

Phoenix Fur Factory

1t is an open secret that not all
furs which are sold for silver fox
and royal ermlne are genuine, but
few realize to what an extent Belg-
ian hare skins are supplanting those
taken from wild fur-bearing ami
mails. At the Winter Fair, W. P.
Pracht, of Phoenix, displayed num-
ber Of remarkably fine furs taken
from Belgian hares, in addition to a
number of live rabbits. Some OF
the skins were of such excellent
quality as to deceive the very elect.
The pure white and black are con-
sdered the most valuable, although
the reds and the white-and-black
spotted sell nearly as well. Belgian
hare hides are tanned and made into
garments by Mr.. and Mrs. Knight
also Of Phoenix. Rabbit fur which
is not prime Is used for making bea-
yer hats, while the skin goes into
the glue pot. This shows how the
Belgian hare people are utilizing
their waste products.
