ter of driving this mob into the Ana
tolian hills and then defeating the
various units By guerilla warfare
tactics. They rather scorned the
advice contained In the reports made
by men who had been at Angora and
the French and British officers who
rad Investigated the kemalists' posi-
tions. These reports were all TO the
effect that KEMAL was building up an
effective force under command of the
ablest of Turkish officers and that II
was well supplied with guns and mu
nitions of war. Besides this he had
he whole of Anatolia to draw upon
for reenforcements. for he had solidi-
tied the country in It's opposition to
the Greeks by representing them as
conquerors who would dominate and
oppress all the Turkish races.
The Greeks have one advantage In
the present situation: they can quickly
reinforce their army and bring new
divisions into the field. On the other
hand, the only organized National
ist force upon which KEMAL can
at present depend Is that under
NAIzrM KARA DEKIR, which has been
operating in Armenia. This force Is
on the way to the Nationelists' relief,
but 1t has long march through q
land without a railroad and with poor
highways. The Greeks have already
three divisions at Brousa and they
are rushing reserves from Athens and
hurrying across the Marmora the
troops which made up the army of
occupation in Thrace. They estimate
that they will have an army Of 100000
in Asia Minor In few days.
To the combatants the war has now
taken on the ancient character OF the
reelS-Turkish struggle, revival OF
the centuries old strife between the
Cross and Crescent. The Turks see

Wit as a Farm Product.

The shrewd humor often heard in
rural districts usually has spon
tnneous quality which renders It all
the more appealing Every cominu-
nifty has its own particular wit whose
sayings are repeated at the post Office,
the general store. the blacksmith
shop or while waiting for No. to
come In with the mall
Much OF this humor is harmless and
it is generally directed 1T some well
known character, though occasionally
1t takes turn which is satirical, as
in the case of the farmer who wrote
to the Department # Ag' iculture offer
ing few suggestions about the dairy
and cattle industry in general. They
were aimed at the good enough" type
Of farmer, who happily IS not found In
the United States as frequently as he
once was. The good enough" farmer
Is the one who says when he signs q
note "There. thank GoD. that's paid;
whose fences anu gate posts are tipsy
and whose outbuildings have no
knowledge Of the saving qualities Of
paint.
The hand to mouth farmer will
probably writhe under the sting OF
the whip this Virginian cracks over
his back, but the tiller of the soil who
knows the benefits of special care and
feeding in milk and butter production
will have many a chuclSle as ne reads
the following terse sayings:
"Don't weigh your milk. for then
you might have to. figure and think.
Feed the cows timothy hay-it is
good for race horses.
'fCow testing associations are need
less-they show how to save and
know.
Keep the barn hot---cows are like
woodchucks.
Don't have many windows IN the
barn-the hired man might look out
Keep water ice cold-shivering
gives the cows exercise
"Avoid heavy milkers-they con-
sumo too much valuable time"
The farmer who wrote these SEN
tences does not have to leave his own
fireside for entertainment.

Central Park Conditions.
The Commissioner Praised for the
improvements He Has Made.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD In re-
ply to the letter OF Thomas Maxwell
take exception TO his statement that
Central Park is IN a dirty, uncared for
condition, neglected to the last degree.
II he refers to the west side or the park.
That part of the lark is well Kept well
taken caro- OF. well cultivated and has
had its walks widened and repaired
dead trees by hundreds lave been re-
moved and new ones planted, and every
one on our side Is astonished that so
much has been done BY the present
Commissioner with little money.
I live in Ninety-fourth street and
walk through the park TO Fifty-ninth
street quite often. and enjoy hours Of
rest therein. so l am somewhat qualified
to pass an opinion. The disordered con-
dition referred to by Mr.. Maxwell around
the Museum is general at times because
of the class OF people using the park at
that place At certain times. but 1t Is
cleaned up as quickly rs possible
object to general criticism or our
public officials such as Mr.. Maxwell
makes without referring TO the great
improvements the present Park Commits
SlOrleT mas DTouEuL dooNe eAoAAS
throughout Central Park Our public
officials are entitled TO appreciation for
what they do as well as cond emnatton
for what they fail to do. l venture to
say that IL the Commissioner hac money
enough the park around the Museum
would be as free from otter as Mr..
Maxwell's own yard. Blu; to character
ize the park generally as dirty and un-
cared for Is not correct.
] have not the pleasure OF knowing
the Commissioner, but / have to say that
he has done more for the betternent
OF the park and for the comfort and
welfare OF the man in the street than
any other Commissioner.
agree heartily with Mr.. Maxwell that
we should return to the sparrow cop
system. az they had an interest in their
work, while the city policeman feels he
Is put on the shelf when assigned to
park duty. also believe Mr.. Maxwell
is right about having plain clothes men
in the park. which should be policed un-

a shower has occurted OF which timely
warnings were not given.
Safety first is the matter foremost In
the mind of the forecaster; and wise
public appreciates the fact that fore
casts of weather conditions stand for
judgment and not for insurance.
The great majority of newspaper
readers begin and finish the literature
OF the weather with the few words which
appear next the title of the paper Most
OF the metropolitan daily newspapers
publish in addition a survey in detail
Of weather conditions covering the
United States. part of Canada and
the West indies. The NEW YORK HER
AID has such a survey on it's editorial
rage and II would be difficult to find
one that equals II elsewhere. Weather
conditions originate In the west and
Rove In an easterly direction across
the United States.
So IL the reader will consult tha de-
tails Of weather conditions, beginning
with those In the Mississippi valley, It
Is pretty safe TO assume that those
same conditions will reach the Atlantic
coast in from twenty-tour to thirty
hours. With the experience and the
knowledge that cone with daily read
ing one may learn TO make ones own

four times in five.

was Mr.. Scarr's reply. The jeerlng
laughter which followed was long and
loud, but It was not on Mr.. Scarr. BY

sent out 70 every part OF the forecaster's
district, and the only victims OF the

Getting Even With Society,""

A relative of the Syracuse Uni
versity instructor who killed Dean
WHARTON and himself suggests that
the double crime was HOLMES BECK
wITHs way Of getting revenge on So
ciety" or of expressing protest
against existing social order" Phrases
Of the letter left by BECKwITH give
color to this theory. He says, for in
stance, with others primarily, as |
believe at fault, should ! alone bear
the burden"
BEcKwIrH told Chance llor DAY that
'he tried and tried and could not get
along" That is, he could not get
along as well as his egoism, which Is
the invariable companion Of the de-
lusion of persecution, told him he
should get along. 1t is the history of
persons thus deluded that no matter
how well they are treated, how liber-
ally they are paid, how rapidly they
are promoted they fiud themselves
prosecuted"
Victims of the delusion of persecu-
ton blame and threaten that large
and nebulous thing called society.
This murderer's talk about the un-
friendliness Of society and particu-
larly of 1.-The employing class" is
echoed by many deluded men. some
free, some confined. 1t is common
place in Sing Sing and other prisons
that the convicts who will serve later
terms can always be picked out by
one pet phrase Of theirs. They say to
their fellows that when they are freed
they twill get even with society"
OF course these "onvicts do. not
know exactly what they mean by
"getting even with society," What
is In their minds is robbing another
store or picking another pocket So
ciety feels their vengeance on.y TO
the extent that the taxpayer has to
pay for the suppor' Of he courts and
the prisons. Nor is 1t plain that the
educated persons with the delusivp Of
persecution know quite what they
mean when they speak of ~engeance
on society. They fondle pet phrase
which tramps and conyicts have bor-
rowed from them,
Fortunately mankind In general
has not the delusion which haunts
wretched men like nEckwITH. WHAT
ever the human weakness Of growl-
ing now and then over the days work,
there is always that brave eg,tism
which tells the owner that nobody
can get the better of him. He is sure
that he could earn little more 4 he
would work q little harder. If LIE is
an American he knows that lie Is
making a comfortable living and that
his ambitions may be as lofty rs he
wishes. Unless, Ike BECKwITh, he
has a bad mental slant, he does not
look upon his associates as conspira-
tors against him. And as for that
vast collection known as society, IL Is
only a gathering of which he is more
or less important member.
The man who tries to get revenge
on society gets 1t on himself.

Springtime In Missou'.

From the Kaasas CITY Times.
Tis springtime IN Missouri and her
woods and wales are green.
And cross the hills and open ways the
wind comes cool and clean,
And the meadow lark is singing above
the treetops tall.
And the loveliness Of budding time is
lingering over all;
The apple orchards. pink and white,
lend fragrance to the breeze
And the whispering Of fairy elves is
heard among the trees
And the sun Is shining brightly in a
sky of sapphire blue
Oh, 'tis great TO be a-living when It's
springtime in Missou'.
'Tis springtime in Missouri and the
pleasant places call
With the lure of open spaces and the
joys that never pail;
The wooded dells and leafy ways are
filed with blossoms rare
And a hundred blended perfumes come
floating on the air,
The lakes and streams g!eam silverlike
against the vivid green
And everywhere her beauty and lowell
ness are seen.
And the twilight hour is golden and the
mornings sweet with dew
Oh, you feel the Joy OF living when it's
springtime In Missou.
Some say the spring is fairest in lands
across the seas,
Where flowers rare send odors on every
floating breeze,
Where the shining sands are golden and
where noble castles rise,
~. aA ..fxT
Missouris skies,
Let me hear the song Of redbirds in the
early morning hours.
And sense the grandeur of her trees, the
beauty of her flowers,
Let me linger by the leafy ways a-spar-
Killing with the dew.
And thank the Lord I'm living when
It's springtime n Missou'.
