GREECE'S WAR.

Greece is rejoicing the reported rout of the
Turkish armies north of the Gehuk and Katrandi
rivers. The Christian world rejoices with the Hell
enes and hopes that the defeat of the Turks will be
complete There is good deal of misunderstood.
ing of the objective OF the Greek offensive in Asia
Minor, but that does not affect the sympathy of
civilization, which is with Greece.
The plain truth Is that the Greeks are waging
war to recover from the Ottomans the territory
which was theirs for centuries before the Turkish
invasion and which since that historic event has
been occupied by Greeks whose yearnings to be re-
united with their kindred has remained undimin-
shed through all the intervening years Greece ex-
pected to recover her through the defeat of the
Central powers in the world war. Being disap-
pointed in the treatment accorded the Turks by the
allied council at Paris she seized what appeared to
be favorable time to repariate her lost nationals
by force of arms.
Withal it appears that the Greeks are exerting
themselves to a futile cause They may defeat the
Turks but they hold the fruits of victory? The
considerations which operated to deprive them in
1919 must still appeal with force to thise who
made the decision then. The practical reasons which
Great Britain advanced for eniency toward the
Turks will not appear less cogent because Greece,
unaded has recovered her ancient PROVING es by the
sword. 1t was fear OF the consequences to herself
of driving the Turks from their capital city that
moved the British to favor the Mohanimedans.
The threat was that If the Turks too deeply
Inundated the Mohammedan world would srise in
revolt: that India might be lost to England. It
might make a difference were the Greeks to drive
the Turks back to their original boundaries. At
least the British could plead responsibility for
the outcome. But might not the threat which was
powerful to prevent the award of territory that
Greece was entitled to be renewed and compel inter-
vention to cheat the Greeks again? When the Turks
driven out of their last stronghold we shall see

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THE TURN OF THE TIDE.

From the Boston Transcript
1t Is better to negotiate than to KILL That Is the
sum anc substance Of the repeated adjournments
OF the decision as to Ireland 1t is hard to that
the talk thus far between the Dali Ereann and the
British cabinet, between Lloyd George and De Va
lera has really brought the two sides any nearer
an agreement. The essential points at ssue-im-
perial sovereignty over ireland and listers equal
right with South Ireland to observation-disclosures
still disputed. No matter; the final clash OF wills
is postponed and In the reluctance Of both parties
to leave off their talking, even in empty repreti-
tons OF last words and '.rrevocabe decisions -
there is some hope.
The scene OF the discussion has been shifted
from London and Dublin to Inverness, far in the
north Of Scotland. There may be some hope
In that change The discussion Is at least neutral
soil. And 1t never seems to have occurred to the
Scots that they less free because they under
the reign of an English king. When 1t comes to
dominion" they feel that they have their share
In It, Yet in the possible autonomy OF Ireland there
Is the suggestion Of like autonomy for Scotland.
The situation has in 1t the rise of tide Of great
future events. viii Mr. De Valera recognize the
fact that this tide. II he will take it at its turn,
leads on to fortune for his country? Let us hope
that he is capable Of that vision.

rat lady housekeeper. Say, Uncle

"Well so swimming in the
pond. 1t will be lovely, and we
can stay In as long as we please.
The next thing is bathing suit.
Where Is my old one, Nurse Jane? 2"
"I'll get it," offered Miss Fuzzy
Wuzzy. So, after taking the dan
delion soup off the stove, and put
ting 1t In the ice box to harden
oh. how funny! I'm thinking of
fudge, I guess! Anyhow, Nurse
Jane took the soup off the stove
and brought Uncle, Wiggily's bath
ing suit down out of the attic.
But, where's my belt?" asked
the rabbit gentleman. "I must
have a belt, with a nice, shiny
buckle, so that when I swim fast
my suit will not come Off"
"Oh, you queer rabbit" laughed

postal employees all the country for target
practice.
Since the arming of the mail clerks has already
produced such good results, 1t Is pity that the
step was not taken until after number of faithful
employees like the railway mail clerk killed by a
bandit in the Pennsylvania station yards winter
lost their lives at the hands of robbers. The large
Of money which the mail clerks handle are
tempting to criminals, and the fact that the clerks
unarmed and virtually defenseless was almost
invitation to robbery. Private concerns did not
take the risks which the government did in handling
valuable mail without the protection of an armed
guard. 1t avails nothing to lament losses of the
past, but lesson be derived from experience,
and 1t is hoped that the subsistence of the crime
wave will not be considered as justification for
abandoning the weapons and returning to the old
custom

MAIL ROBBERS BECOME FEWER.

The postoffce department reports that there has
been reduction in mail robberies since the policy
of armng postal employees was put into effect. Now
that the line clerks, transfer clerks and registry
terminal clerks who guard the mails carrying
deadly weapons there are fewer holdups
Obviously a reduction to be expected. But
not merely reduction. but total elimination. of
these crimes should be the object Of the DEPART
ment Target practice which will make the men ex-
pert in handling pistols will be good insurance
against robbery can be provided. The better
shots the mail clerks become the less killing they
will have to do; for let 1t become known that It is
almost certainly counting death to attempt to rob
them and the fear Of them will rapidly spread. 1t
Is gratifying on that account to be informed that
rifle ranges and police galleries are being used by

AS THE PEOPLE VIEW 1T

To the Public, on behalf Of amend
ment No. 4:
We, the veterans of foreign wars,
would like the people Of the state
OF New Mexico to stop and con-
slider for a moment what they
have done for the ex-service men.
The proposed constitutional
amendment No. 4, granting a ST.
600 tax exemption to service
men, seems to be opposed, because
1t will not benefit all soldiers. We
know that about rs per cent of the
ex-service men cannot take advan-
tage of 1t, and we also know that
If it is not passed at the coming
election the soldier will never get
another chance for any legislation,
but If this is all the state can do at
the present time let the people on
September 20 pass 1t by the great
est majority ever given an issue in
the state.
We are taking this in the hopes
that In the near future our legisla-

~ 1t was very hot day, even If
the summer vacation was ended.
The daisies In the fields nodded
sleepily, and tried to hide under
the tall grasses to be out of the
rays Of the burning sun.

porch hammock. tanning himself
with a sassafras leaf, but he nib
bled little bites off the leaf so Oft

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-Argentine
drought advices together with some
revival of export business in this
country led to a material upturn
today in wheat. The market closed
firm 2Ac to aye net higher. with
December 1892 to $1.32A and
May $1.36% to s1.37. Corn finish
ed unchanged to nc to Is C higher,
oats up &c to &c to &c and pro-
visions varying from Csc decline to
&c gain.
Bulls in wheat were prompt to
take advantage. of the failure of
predictions for rain in Argentina
1t was contended in various quar-
tiers that the Argentine crop would
be able to endure dry weather for
twenty to thirty days without suf-
fering irreparable damage. On the
other hand, the apparent increasing
likelihood of serious curtailment of
the Argentine yield was given as
the chief reason for numerous Or
ders to purchase. During the re-
sultant upturn. houses that were
conspicuous sellers of late became
the chief buyers. Meanwhile, esti-
mates were current that export
business for the day totalled 1,000,-
600 bushels and there was gossip
that for the first time since 1914
Germany was acquiring wheat on a
large scale. Only a moderate re-
action in prices was caused by late
sales to realize profits.
Corn and oats sympathized with
the strength of wheat. Rural Of
ferings of corn were said to have
fallen off to decided extent.
Provisions averaged lower. In
fluenced by downturns in the value
Of hogs.

tors Of our great state might give
something that will benefit all OF
US.
You know the promises that you
made us when we were going to
war: Nothing will be too good for
us when we come back. Why stop
now, being that we are home. We
came back, many of us, to find our
former jobs taken, and many could
not have taken them had they been
offered.
1t is "a partisan matter. The
only concrete thing the state has
been able to offer, that only two
states in the union have done less
than New Mexico now promises,
that Is, tax exemption or nothing,
The burden Of proof of property
will be on the ex-service man,
and there will be no opportunity
for tax evaders to transfer their
property to any ex-service men.

Nurse Jane. "You must have ev'
erything just so. Wen stop at tht
three and four cent store as We
pass and get belt"
You should have seen how stylish
Nurse Jane looked! She wore q
purple and blue sash, and around
her cap was an orange ribbon dec
GRATED with four-leaf clovers.
my! But you look nice!" ex-
claimed Uncle Wiggily. "When ]
get my belt we'll be all ready for
the water! Oh, a swimming we
will go! swimming we will go!
Wen float along and sing song
of rain and ice and snow!"
II don't believe you'll sing much
about ice and snow while you're
in the pond" Nurse Jane Uttered
II imagine, II you do, you'd find
your mouth and nose full of water.
But here is where we get your belt,
Wisgily," she added as they passed
an eleven and twelve cent store.
And don't forget the nice, shiny
buckle" the rabbit gentleman re-
minded the muskrat nurse.
Here's the very thing" cried
Mr.. Longears, as he tried on belt
that fitted exactly. This will be
fine!"
A little later they reached the
pond in the woods. Uncle Wig
gily took a run and landed kerr
flop! away out in the middle, for
1t was not very deep and, though
not a good swimmer, he was not
afraid in the bathing pond.
Come on in" he called to Nurse
Jane. tits won won won y"
He tried to say wonderful" but
just then he stepped in a hole and,
sinking down. his mouth filled
with water. He came up in a mo-
ment, however, laughing. Come
on in, Janie!" he cried.
Then he looked toward shore
where he had left the muskrat
lady. What was the matter? She
was calling for help! The bad old
Woozie Wolf was just going to
catch her. With a big jump Uncle
Wiggily sprang from the water and
toward Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. !
Get away from here. you bad
chap!" cried the bunny to the
Wolf.
II will not! I've got Nurse Jane
and I'll nibble her ears, IL I can't
bite yours!" howled the Wolf.
The bad creature grew closer
Uncle Wiggily didn't dare turn and
run, to leave Nurse Jane alone, so
he just stood there, trying to think
of something to do. And then a
queer thing happened. The sun
shone on the shiny buckle of Uncle
Wiggily's bathing belt, and from
the shiny buckle the bright light
glanced off into the eyes of the
Wolf, just like from looking
glass,
"Wow!" cried the Woozie Wolf!
"My eyes are blinded! / can't see
to bite Uncle Wiggily or Nurse
Jane" And while his eyes were
thus dazzled by the shiny buckle
Uncle Wiggily and Nurse Jane
jumped into the pond, waded
across to the other side and so
they were saved.
The Wolf stumbled away. bump
ing into trees because his eyes were
so dazzled he couldn't see, but the
bunny and muskrat lady had fine
swim and cooled off. And II the
piano stool doesn't spin around so
fast that 1t makes the phono-
graph get dizzy, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and the sand
pile.

Horner, out in his boneyard bower;
he swung his car around a corner
at forty miles an hour. He might
have made the curve at twenty,
with safety first in view; for he
had time to spare a-plenty; no
urgency he knew. Before him
stood a mighty boarding that shut
the street from sight; but madly he
went henry-fording. and turned

turn truck was plugging, a truck
