The Greek and Turkish delegations
in London the proposals il has for
mulated as a basis of settlement with
view to the establishm ent of peace
in the near east. an outline of which
has already been published.

LONDON. March 12.-Talk of re-
moving Constantine from the throne
Of Greece has been silenced. at least
for the time being. by compromise
between the Greek and Turkish dele
cations in London touching the
treaty Of Sevres. NJ. Gounaris. who
arrived from Athens the other day.
probably came to London prepa red
to propose another man in Constan-
tines place, provided he could get all
the Greeks wanted in their contro-
versy with the Turks. He learned
at once that the Greek claims would
not be granted in full. Now both
the Greek and Turkish delegations
leave London with some hope that
the compromise they have arrived at
will be approved by their respective
governments.
Turks Unable to Smash Treaty.
The Turks now know definitely
that they cannot smash the treaty of
Sevres. They know that they must
recognize the principle of immunity
of the Christian populations from
Turkish oppression. They know that
they must be satisfied with a merely
academic concession to them as re-
CARDS the DardaneIles.
The Greeks for their part know
that they cannot keep all that they
now have. If the Turks in CONSTANT
nople and the Greeks in Athens show
themselves as reasonable as have
their representatives in London. a
final settlement of an important part
of the near east question is in sight.
Prime Minister Lloyd George and
Premier BRAND have had no diff
Guilty over the presence of Emir Fei-
sul's envoy in London. They found
that there was no serious difference

points of view concerning the king

worshipers of grandfather's time

again to allow one cent of war profits

Obligations Imposed.
In the end the genius of America
Will be invoked by Presiden; Harding,
who Is a strong. proud fellow whose
cheerful youth neither allows his head
to be turned backward nor his eyes
TO be blindfolded. 1t stands to reason
that he wishes to secure under all
circumstances the sovereignty of his
country. At the same time it is easy
to understand how all kinds of con-
fused phraseology and foolishness have
Spoiled his appetite for international l.
ism, and how the majority of Ameri-
cans strongly object to the thought
of Super-national world rule" such
as has been called into exiStance by
the executive committee OF the league
of nations.
But politics is a profession which is
under the pressure OF continuity and
which cannot be carried in unre-
strained freedom like other profess
sions. In politics. Il productive gen
ius often is compelled to take up the
thread used by bad politicians and
10 make the best of it. The course of
events has shown us that something
similar to world court of arbitra-
tion has become indispensable. If
America doesn't join il will become
an instrument of power in the hands
of Great Britain. Doesn't the de-
plorable spectacle of London. with
its not always true pathos on both
sides. show the necessity of such
court of arbitration? And
wouldn't it also be useful for the
and to be able to decide in which
way her debtors are to be financially
satisfied. and yet how the debtors
of these debtors are not to be de-
priVed of their purchasing power?
Sound Principle Proclaimed.
President Harding's message does
not try to block the way ot a devel
opment demanded by the humaniZa-
of prudent wisdom. 1t proclaims "a
sound principle that 'he who wishes
to receive must also give" and this
should spur Europe at present to in
creased work for the mutual posses
sion of culture of both continents.

BY Radio to The Star.
BERLIN. March 12.-PreSident Hard
ing's inaugural message flew like d
swallow into the winter of our discon-
tent.
There is a German proverb which says
that "a single swallow doesn't make a
summer" but when the frs. one is seer
everybody is doubly pieased-the more

hear the Tapping wings and the never
more" of the raven.
This fear had been instilled in us by
all sorts of means. They said the man
from Ohio would treat Mrs. Europe as
dances. but who cannot find partners
anywhere. At any rate. MIR. Harding S
first gesture shows that he doesn't in
tend to continue the Irritation of his
predecessor. In fact. the wisdom of the
tradition which keeps America away
from the quarrels of the old world is
being extolled and there is regret for
the mistakes of yesterday

But when conscience calls and cool
judgment doesn't dissuade: when either
civilization or the ideal of human fra =
ternity is menaced. the United States.
We understand. will be willing again TO
help any good purpose in the world.
The United States desires economic, mill
itary and maritime agreements with
other nations. besides their good will.
She wants disarmament and a world
court of arbitrati ton. Could any sensible
persons expect more?
Even If this hadn't been distinctly
understood there would be no serous
reason to fear an entire diSinterested-
ness on the part of the United States
regarding Europe's fate. Even the
richest creditor is always forced to
keep in health those to whom he has
lent much money. Europe will again
become an export market not to Ne
treated contemptuously even if Russia
is excluded.
What will America do with regard
to disarmament? What are her plans
in world commerce?
Out of these and other similar ques-
tons there is no way which leads
back to the splendid isolation of
Monroe and Mckinley. The message
of the new President strongly en-
phasizes the necessity of maintain
ing the approved system" and the
fime-honored fence of old traditions.
After perusing Mr.. Harding's mes
sage many Europeans said with a
smile of conceited and modern bump
tiousness that none of our statesmen
could talk so Super-conServdtively
without being considered reactionary.

French Statesman Would
Avoid Formation of
Bureaucracy.

BARCELONA. Spain. March IL
I'VE must endeavor to avoid the
formation of a bureaucracy which
would dictate to the nations" de-
clared Gabriel Hanotaux, former
French foreign minister. in the
course of a speech today on the sub
ject of the powers of the consultative
and technical committee on transit
of the league of nations. Our pur-
pose is to assist in arranging diff
culties. not arbitrary decisions. The
committee must abide by the judg-
ment of the council of the league
and not form another body with
power TO decide
British Demands.
The question under discussion was
the power of the committee to call
an international conference on any
subject raised by the members. The
British demanded that the conven-
tions adopted by the conference in
communications and transit should be
rnaI documents needing only the
ratification of the various govern
ments, instead of draft conventions
which would be subject to change
and necessitate further conferences
as was the case in the draft con-
yentions of the Washington labor
conference.
Therefore the British demanded
that the delegates should seek full
powers to sign final conventions, 9TH

It's curious how an idea will some
times lay hold OF you and knock out

ruin to Mr.. Norcross, and the blowing
up Of all the plans that had been made

II he should be allowed TO get up town
with that warrant, the end of every

The three men were on their feet,

only think of some way TO blow the

When l did think Of 1t l dragged IL
out with some silly notion of trying
TO hold the three men up at the door
Of the shack as they came out. Hatch's
stop TO light cigar and to hand out
a couple to the other two gave me
time TO chuck that notion and grab an
other. With the muzzle Of the auto

the incandescent lamp in the ceiling
and turned her loose for the whole

Since the first bullet got the lamp
and left the place black dark, I

them gasping and yelling and knock
