TURKS ARE JUBILANT
NEW TROUBLE LOOMS IF LEAGUE
CHANGES PACT TO FAVOR
TURKEY.
western Newspaper Union News Service

London. Feb. 25.-The Near East is
again the melting pot. The Sevres
treaty is to be rcdrafted in favor OF
the Turks, former enemies, against
the wishes of the Greeks, former al
lies To what extent, however, Will
not be known until the inter-allied
commission has visited the spot and
decided between the claims of the
Greeks and Turks regarding the ratio
of population in Thrace and Smyrna.
This decision was reached when the
Supreme Council decided to invite the
Greeks and Turks to separate confer
ences, when they will be asked if they
are prepared to accept such an inves-
tigation, subject to acceptance of the
remaining terms of the treaty.
The Central News says that the
Greek delegates conferred, after which
one of them declared that the premier
was opposed to an inter-allled investl-
CATION regarding smyrna and Thrace,
and would refuse to consent to re-
vision of the treaty.
1T looks like an insurmountabie
barrier" he added. much as we de-
test war, it appears inevitable, for we
will not evacuate smyrna
The Turks have already announced
approval regarding Smyrna and
Thrace, but they are likely to fight
against the rest of the treaty being
enforced, while the Greeks are expect
ed to oppose the scheme.
After the Turks had presented pro-
posals for revision of the treaty, the
Greeks We're given an opportunity TO
refute the Turks claims. The Greek
premier pleaded for the enforcement
of the treaty, quoting former Premier
Venizelos, who has left for Paris
greatly discouraged ut the Greeks
prospects.
The premier said that when he came
| here he did not believe the conference
| intended to alter the fundamental ba-
sis of the treaty and he called on his
experts to produce figures showing
that according to population the
| Greeks We're entitled to- retain what
the treaty gave them.
Greece was willing to adopt the ad-
vice of the allies, he added, provided
| the fundamentals of the treaty were
not changed, but further delay would
| exhaust Greece.
| When the decision was read to them,
| the Greeks expressed disappointment.
| The Turks are jubilant, as delay Is
what they wanted, and they believe
now that Smyrna and Thrace will be
saved to them.

Packers Mystery: Who Is Diamond IT,?

in a rectangular figure the shape Of
diamond.
"It is quite evident that Diamond
T. was a very important person. Moth
ing was developed in the evidence that
ever disclosed anything that he had
written or anything to which his sig
nature was attached. Reference to
this character only appears when in
formation is given from one official to
another that certain information had
Just been received from Diamond T.
"How much Diamond T. received in
the way of compensation, or who he
was, will perhaps always remain
mystery. That he was some one high
in official councils, and therefore a
very expensive character, and that he
was able to give the packers exceed
ingly valuable and inside information,
will not for d moment be questioned.
When the men who were dealing di-
rectly with him go upon the witness
stand and deny any knowledge of the
identity of this mysterious individual,
they not only convince the honest man
that they are guilty of falsehood, but
they make themselves ridiculous in the
eyes of honest people,"

another war, more implacable and
more relentless than the struggle re-
corded in political bulletins and by

And now active hostilItles threaten.
The senate ladies' have decided upon

singly, but in groups. The basis of

ute changes, it will be composed of

Secretary of State - Charles L.
Hughes of New York, former governor,
justice of the Supreme Court and Re
publican nominee for the presidency.
Secretary of the Treasury-Andrew
w. Mellon of Pennsylvania, banker
and financier, member of a family re-
puted to be among the wealthiest in
this country.
Secretary of War-John w. Weeks
IF Massachusetts, former senator, and
in 1916 candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination.

erty of Ohio, who managed Mr.. Har-
ding's preconvention campaign.
Postmaster General-Wlll ii. Hays

can national committee.

ministrator and leader in various
movements for European relief.
Secretary of LabOr-James ]. Davis

If changes are made, they are most
likely to affect the appointments for
Navy, Commerce and Labor. all OF
which are understood to have come to
decision within twenty-four hours.
In regard to none of these has there
been an exchange of formal invita-
ton and acceptance, but in every case
the selections are expected by Mr..
Hardings associates to stand.
Assignment of the navy portfolio to
Mr.. DENLY, who is n Detroit lawyer,
furnished the first real surprise, for
his name had not been mentioned pub
licly in connection with the place until
yesterday. 1t is understood that from
the first he has been under considera-
ton, however, and was held in reserve
for Just such n contingency as MIR.
Harding faced last week when former
Gov. f. o. Lowden of Illinois declined
to be considered.
Ever since early in the campaign
Mr.. Hoover's name has been one or
the storm centers of the cabinet list,
many Republicans urging his appoint
ment as secretary of state, interior,
commerce or labor, and many oppos-
ing it because of his stand in favor OF
the League of Nations. formal in
vitation is expected to go forward TO
him within few hours.

New York-Charles L. Hughes re-
signed as president of the Legal Aid
Society here. His action is believed to

public and private activities to enable
him to devote his time to the duties of

his report Mr.. Hughes said there had
been fewer appeals for legal aid from

committed here in the head office OF
the Bank of Montreal, when nearly

War of the Senate and House

Now Il Is evident that these recep-
tions cannot be held in private houses.
And that is just where the cream OF
the whole business comes in. 1t Ia
exactly here that the senatorial ladies
score heavily over their poor benight-
ed sisters of the house of representa-
tlves. The senatorial ladies propose
to use one of the fine chambers OF
the senate office building, which would
be admirably adapted to the purpose.
But the house of representatives la
dies cannot demand a similar priv
ilege from their own particular branch
OF Congress, because, being so much
more numerous, there is no room large
enough for the purpose.
1t seems likely that the senate Of
fee chamber will be the scene OF
stately ceremonials, with the senate
ladies' divided into appropriate groups,
holding a sort of court, perhaps seated
on raised dais, while the callers file
past them and make their obeisances.
There may even be orders as to the
kinds of dresses that are to be worn,
and ushers, and all the rest of it.
And the fact that these ceremonies
are held under the senate roof will
naturally give to them Il sort of off,
cIal status.
No wonder the house of representa-
tives ladies are up in arms about the
whole business. Not that they are
surprised. oh, mol

PRINCE OF WALES, "MARRIAGEV AND
 PRAYER BOOK PROFITS STIR CLERGY

London, August 23.-The nod of a prince may cost the state much gold, and it would appear that the future nuptials of the Prince of Wales may involve the Church of England in quite lot of expense.
 At time when Bishops with S50,- 900 a year and a palace are feeling the pinch, and Archdeacons are pro cesSioning among the new poor" this burden may become embarraSS- ing.
 A Question of Profits.
 The worst of 1t is that 1t is so un- ! certain. The finances of the Church of England will have to stand the strain without warning.
 The matter arose in a quaint way l at the National Assembly of tho Church of England when Lord Sel- borne moved that the Government should be asked to hand over to the assembly the income derived from the copyright of the revised prayer book, on the ground that 1t has been com piled by the labors and nt the expense of churchmen.
 printed by the Kings printers and the Universities Press, but no profits come to the church.
 Looking Ahead.
 So far all was plain sailing, for no doubt the newly-revised prayer book will have a. large sale, and-National bodies-would like to get hold of some revenue,
 But up rose the Bishop of Ripon and disclosed a most delicate COnsid- eration on the other side, It was quite conceivable" he said, that be- fore long the Prince of Wales would be married, and this would entail alterations in the prayer book, the introduction of the name of the Princess of Wales, etc.

Honolulu Differs
 Greatly From Other
 Parts of United States

!. Honolulu, T. H.. August 2S.--Main- 1and newspaper men arriving in Honolulu for the first time to attend the World Press Congress sessions
 here in october will find it hard to fbe!ieve at first that they are treading United States territory.
 For in idimotic language, customs, many foods, traditions, vegetation 1 and climate, this far-fung outpost of Ethe United States differs from the mainland as night differs from day.
 As befits it's position-''at the cross froads of the Pacif1c''-Honolulu prob ably is the most cosmopolitan com

They will eat poi" to which is attributed the mighty ath- elete prowess of Hawaiians.

When even slight alterations were made the cost ran into thousands of pounds, and the cost of printing a re- wise prayer book would be very great.
 Possible Losses.
 He pointed out that meanwhile the stopped by royal order until the Prin- cess of Wales name was added and he hinted very plainly that if they asked for the profits they might also be called upon to share the possible losses
 The Bishops idea was that before the resolution was accepted the finance committee should make in- quiries, to which Canon Partridge made the reassuring reply that the Central Boards information went to show that the profits would certainly be considerable.
 Tal<inS the Risk.
 There can be little doubt that this is accurate in regard to the revised prayer book because church people will want to follow alterations in the services, but 1t Is evidently and ob- Viously quite impossible to estimate beforehand how large a proportion of these will be willing subsequently, to buy another revised version in order to secure the wording of the prayer for the Princess of Wales when she arrives on the scene
 If this number should prove small there might be, as the Bishop of Rip on suggested, a heavy loss on the tranaction, but the National Assem- bly, decided to risk 1t, and the reSolu- ton requesting the Government to hand over the profits was carried,
 The Prince, we hope, will now real ize that the Church of England looks toward him with admiration-but with anxiety.

Thus far, however, engineers have been unable to discover petroleum in having quantities. Australia is now compelled to import all her crude oil and petroleum derivatives and the prevailing prices are relatively high.
