IT is pleasing to note from a speech

made by Winston Churchill, Brit
ish colonial secretary, in the
House of Commons, that Great Brit
ain has embarked upon the new
policy in Mesopotamia Of creating
an Arab state which shall be built
up around Bagdad, and revive the
..old glory and culture of the Arab
races"
AS the youths in the street would
say, "It listens we'll" Britain in

glories among her subject peoples,
J the erector of states free from her
domination, the benevolent donor
Of freedom to a people whom she has
brought under her control by force
of arms, is a new Britain, and one
which the world might well admire
after the fact has been thoroughly
demonstrated t
Pending such demonstration, per-
sons familiar with British history
may well be excused for listening to
Mr.. Churchill's oratory with some
shade of incredulity.
Probably there were Irish MEM
bers of the house in the benches
when the colonial secretary painted
his word picture. II so they may
well have wondered why all this So
icitude for the ancient glories of a
proud and dignifed race should be
reserved for Arabs alone.
1t may have occurred to them that
( at the very door of England is a
people with past no less glorious
than that of the Arabs, with racial
characteristics and national ambi-
tions no less clearly defined, with
past wrongs no less worthy of right
ing and future potsntialities no less
capable Of development, to whom
Great Britain shows no sign Of
friendship.

It is possible that if there were
prodigious undeveloped stores of oil
in Ireland, Great Britain might say,
"Take, if. yon wish, your ancient
glories, accept a system of self-gov
ernment. All we ask is that You
leave us control of your OIL"
Such, at any rate, is the seeming
essence of the British scheme of
benevolence in Mesopotamia-

way as to make millions of
Americans regret that they voted az
they did in 1916.
The contrast between the firm, in
cisive and clear-cut conduct Of our
foreign relations today and the wab-
bly, methods Of the past four years is
so striking that the dullest mind
does not fail to perceive it, while
thinking men and women rejoice
greatly over it.
Mr.. Hughes was to some extent to
blame for his own defeat in 1876
and to that extent to blame for Will
son and all that followed upon the
calamitous election of that person.
But he has made remarkable amends
for that in the rapid and mastery
fashion in which he has repaired the
shattered prestige of America, and
brought some degree of order ont of
the diplomatic chaos created by an
administration matched only in,
feebleness of performance by that of
James Buchanan.
The probabilities of the extension
of the war in the Near East are rap
idly becoming realities.
The British governments threat
of declaration of war if the Turk
ish Nationalists move against Con-
stantinbple, and the permission
given to the Greek ships to use the
Dardanelles and the Sea Of Marmora
for war purposes, create tension
which brings about. the exact situ-
alton forecast-the active alliance of
England and Greece against the
Turks, and the almost inevitable al
lance of England, Greece and Ru-
mania in an attack upon the Bolshe-
wiki in Southern Russia, aided by
japanese offensive in Eastern ST.
IBERIA.
Nothing will prevent war in
Eastern Europe and the Near East
except the backdown Of the Anatol-
ian Turks and their Bolshevik ally,
and it is quite in the cards that those
two will not back down.
Constantinople, in strong hands, is
the most powerful strategic posses
sion in the whole world, and blood
will flow before England viii relax
her grip upon that most valuable of
all the spoils of war she has ever
carried off.
The dream of the Romanof Cars
was to conquer Constantinople, and
from that bridge between Asia and
Europe to dictate to the world. That
dream has vanished, and in its stead
has arisen another and greater
dream of British possession of the
bridge and British domination of
Asia and supremacy in Europe
1t is the mightiest dream of en-
pire that even British imperialism
has ever proposed to itself, and the
approaches to it have been made
with the usual secrecy and audacity
with which British policy goes for
ward to new conquests.
It is remarkable that this most
important Of all the results of this
great war has not even attracted
mention by any of the numerous
writer's who have assumed the task
of teaching us what is doing in world
politics.
One of the most pathetic things in
life is the child-like confidence which
most people have in catch-phrase.

sides and putting stiiccD On the lathe,
an artistic, thoroughly modern home
could be had for a mere fraction Of
what 1t would cost were it not possible
to secure this Government property ut
ones own price, at auction.
The sale will begin on Monday, April
D, and continue until all of the 1000
buildings and 1000 acres of land are
disposed OF. Needless TO say, this will
be an absolute sale. and the Govern
ment will reserve nothing. but will dis
pose of it all to the highest bidder.

pest that should particularly appeal 10
the farmer, who can purchase thcm at
his own figures.
The putting of this mammoth Can
torment on the market for sale ut
auction will do much to lower the cost
of building. The original cost of
buildings and land comprising the Can
Torment was S10,O0O,OOO. II will be
sold for just what 1t will bring at auc-
ton. A sale of this magnitude has
never before been held in Kentucky,
and it offers an Unparalleled oppor-
tunity to those desiring to purchase
building material Of every description.
The taxpayers who furnished the
money to build Camp Zachary Taylor
will have an opportunity here TO profit
by the sale of the land and building
material, which viii be sold ut auction
by the Louisville Real Estate and De-
velopment Company, Of Louisville, who
will serve as sales agents for the Var

In the sale Of Camp Zachary Taylor,
at auction, beginning Monday, April
25, the cost Of building material will
be reduced in such drastic manner that
the many who have for several years
past been living in uncomfortable and
crowded conditions, because Of the
shortage of homes, will be enabled to
procure, at their own price, all mate
rial necessary for building.
Many million feet Of Kindred lum-
Der was selected for the construction
OF this Cantonment, and 1t was subject
ed to the most rigid inspection. Hav-
Ing been exposed to the weather for
only a short time, 1t is practically as
good as new, and for rough construc-
ton work and outdoor purposes on the
farm or in the building of home, it
will answer every purpose that lumber
fresh from the mill does, and will
doubtless sell for considerably less
money.
The same Is true regarding the
plumbing and heating equipment that
was used at the camp. This will be
sold In small lots so that the small
buyer will be in as good a position to
take advantage of these bargains as
the large buyer who is able to buy
several carloads.
The 1000 buildings will be offered
one at time, and the successful bid
der will have the privilege of buying
one. or more of the particular type of
building upon which he made his bid.
Many of the buildings will require
but the addition OF a porch and re-
arrangement Of the inside partitions to
make them comfortable homes, while

In so far as one can generalize from
the experience of the last few years,
women are taking all their new civic
duties with cOmmendable thorough
ness. The widespread activities Of
the women's citizen associations have
done much to arouse the female voter
to the realities, and more especially
the responsibilities of civic life. And
these excellent bodies have worked on
likely material, for those women who
have thrown themselves into public
