The Greek and Turkish Nationalist
armies were locked in bloody battle
on the route to Angora, and the Greeks
are reported to have the best OF the
fighting, although their losses are
heavy. The Turks lost some 1900
men and are falling back steadily.
Equally fierce but with fewer
fatalities Is the fighting between the
Spanish forces and the Morocco tribes
men. The Spanlards are using bomb
ing airplanes against the Moors who
occupy almost inaccessible strong
holds In the mountains. The tribes
men besleging Melllla also are kept
busy dodging air bombs. However
the Spanish supplies are running short

agreements eliminate jurisdictional
strikes and they will have steady work.
More important In the long run Is the
fact that Judge Lands has freed the
union workers from the imminent
danger Of the open shop. The carpen-
ters, plasterers and sheet metal
workers declined to enter the arbitra-
tion and some other crafts were ex-
.cluded because they refused what the
Judge considered suitable agreements.
1t Is predicted those crafts will have

competent to revise treaties unless
they are "inappllcable."
Obviously the Monroe Doctrine Is
involved In the dispute. Carlos Ara
mayo, head of the Bolivian delega-
ton, stated that Bolivia on several
occasions had requested the United
States to examine the BollViantChilean
treaty, but the Washington govern
ment had steadfastly refused. 1.-THE
South American states do not consider
themselves bound by the Monroe Doc
trlne" he added. There are number
Of prominent Americans in Geneva
watching the proceedings, and they
are urging President Harding's ad'
mlnistration to make known Its view
as to the competence Of the league
to intrude In Central and South
American problems In direct defiance
Of the Monroe Doctrine, pointing out
that the European states would be en-
abled to capitalize the petty differ
ences between the Latin-American re-
publlcs by posing as disinterested
benefactors, through which the allies
would gain concessions.
The league assembly was loath to
make any decision In the matter. and
at the suggestion Of Van karnebeek
of Holland. who had been elected
president. the discussion went over to
a later date.
Hjalmar Branting Of Sweden In
Thursdays session charged that the
league had been extravagant and had
Disseminated against nations that re-
mained neutral in the war. He es-
pecially criticized the action Of the
league council in giving the Aland
islands to Finland. Lord Robert
Cecil, representative Of South Africa,
defended the league against these
accusations, and then went on to
severely criticize the purely mega
tive" position Of the United States
which he said was responsible for the
delay In the application Of mandates.
The American government recently
sent notes to the allies reiteratlng Its
claim to equality with them In the dis
position of the former possessions OF
Germany and her allies in the war.
Among the first things the assembly
did was to reject the amendment to
the covenant proposed by Argentina
that all sovereign states should be
members Of the league unless volun-
tarily abstalning from membership.
In Buenos Aires 1t was believed the
temporary withdrawal Of Argentina
from the league would now be abso-
lutte and permanent and that certain
other Latin-American republics might
also withdraw.

Uncle Sans troops did not have to
fire a shot in West Virginia. AS soon
as they entered the disturbed region
the rebelllous miners submitted and
were disarmed and sent home. Quiet
came so speedily that preparations
were being made last week to send
some Of the troops back to their
camps.
Meanwhile another but less serious
mine war was brewing in southern
Illinois, where the union fuor spar
miners were gathering. with arms, to
march through Hardin county. Their
objectives were the towns Of Rosl-
clare and Elizabethtown. The miners
had several clashes with deputies and
detectives, who, according to the union
officials, are creatures Of the mine op-
orators. Governor Small ordered an
inquiry into charges Of persecution
and abuse made against the Hardin
county authorities. mine officials and
guards. The trouble ere involves
both wages and unionlsm. and, as in
West Virginia, Is Of long standing.

] saw his face was black with the dust
of toll;
His eyes cleaned white from out the
Swart expanse:
Upon his knotted hands the nails
were broken;
His grimy shirt, wide open at the
throat,
Revealed hirsute chest streaked
with SCOT
And sweat of the foul mines where, in
the dark,
Amid the little dancing lamps, he
strove
And like Titan wrestled with the
earth;
The mountains ooze had dripped upon
him; scars
Where the fanged rocks had gashed
him, scanned his cheeks.
Bent, not with age, and shutting as
he walked,
Sewed from the pit with the new-risen
sun,
He sought the joyless lair he called
his home,
Brute-like to eat, then sink in sodden
sleep
And for while forget.
And she who passed him,
DAINTY gloved and gowned, with
slender feet
Tapping her tiny heels upon the
pave,
Nursing of luxury, daughter of con-
tent,
Gave him no heed, save that one deli
cate hand,
With scarcely conscious motion swept
aside
Her garments lest they touch him.
Yet the fires
That warmed and comforted her ten
der flesh,
And made her glad, were fed from
that mans life.
