Besides the four superdreadnoughts,
armed with 16-inch guns, for which
Parliament Is to vote money this month.
Great Britain is about to lay down two
other war vessels. each Of a new and
novel type. The first Is a cruiser mine
layer. while the second is a big ocean
going submarine. which probably will be
larger and much faster than the German
U-cruisers that made their appearance
toward the END Of the war.
The mine layer is to be put on the
stocks at Devonport during the coming
autumn. She will be the first vessel of
this type ever built for the Royal Navy,
all its other mine ships having been
improvised. Her features will be high
speed, an extensive cruising radius and
very large mine carrying capacity. The
displacement may exceed 5000 tons.
War experience demonstrated the value
of big high speed ships fitted up az mine
layers. and II Is partly owing to the
fine performance Of H. M. s. Princess
Margaret, former c. p. R liner. pur-
chased by the Admiralty and used for
this work, that the decision to build a
special mine cruiser has been taken.
AS regards the new submarine. the
few details known OF her indicate a
development of the famous TX" class

said that they are negotiating for the
purchase of one or two British battle
ships. the Agincourt and Erin being
mentioned in this connection.
The Agincourt was originally built ir

which we had imposed on them. This
is largely due to the character OF the
Turk, who Is an honest fellow when
he is not engaged in massacre, and he
has undoubted right to rule in Asia
Minor in spite of minorities of Greeks
and Armenians.
From the British point of view also
it Is highly important to deal gener-
ously with the Turks owing to their
Importance In the Mohammedan world
subject to our imperial rule. What
Greece gained by the treaty was
largely due to the personal influence
of Venizelos, and no longer stands in
public sentiment now that Constan-
tine. who betrayed us. is back on his
throne again.
Poor Opinion Held of Greeks.
I was laughed at when after visit
ing Athens and Smyrna. reported fa-
vorably on the Greek army and pro-
phesied that it would break the re-
sistance of the Turkish insurgents.
France and Italy despise the Greeks
and did not believe in them as fighting
men. They are also jealous Of Greek
influence In the Mediterranean. Now
the successful Greek advance has con-
founded all criticism and has made it
more difficult to settle Turkish claims.
France and Italy still insist that
Greece should relinquish much Of her
newly acquired territory. but after
fresh victories, stained by occasional
massacres Of Turks, according to
trustworthy evidence. Constantine Is
not at all prepared to surrender either
Smyrna or Thrace.
This war has for some time been
averted by the danger Of the situation
in the neighborhood Of Constantinople.
where the Turkish insurgents were
becoming aggressive and actually are
threatening the allied command Of the
Dardanelles, but is now stirring up a
host Of new troubles In the hornets
nest of the Balkans and is irritating
Mohammedan sentiment throughout
the East.
Those are all difficulties which stand
In the way Of any programme of world
peace, and they will not be settled by
any conference in Washington which
leaves out of account and out OF con-
sultation such Powers as Russia, Ger
many and Turkey. Nor will Europe
or any other part Of the world recover
economic health SO long as those great
countries remain outside Of some gen.
eral scheme Of trade and industry with
free interplay of raw materials and
manufactured products.
One must face those undeniable facts,
though they do not prevent some steps
Of progress being made within the linn
,itations proposed at Washington
Enormous patience, stretching far be-
yond the lifetime Of this generation
will be needed before the ideals OF
world peace will be utterly fulfilled
but the zone of peace may be widened
and made secure II the peacemakers
have behind them the spiritual enthu-
siasm of the silent masses in all those
countries to which President Har-
ding's ideal has reached out.

SHOW POOR PROFIT
Kansas Farms Last Year Re-
turned Three Per Cent.
Fall in Prices Generally Cause,
Says w. E. Grimes.

Manhattan, Kan. July 12.-The
average Kansas farm last year pro-
duced a net profit of about per cent
on the total investment it represents.
w. E. Grimes, agricultural economist
of the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege, said in addressing the state board
of agriculture here. The board con-
cludes its two-day session at the col
lege experiment station today
Mr.. Grimes based his figures on a
survey of twenty-five farms in jack
son county and twenty in Mcpherson
county. Farms in the former returned
a net profit of 3.5 per cent, and the
latter 2.6 per cent, he said.
THE low returns for farming in this
region probably was typical of condi-
lions thruout the state" Mr.. Grimes
said. 1.-The low returns were chiefly
due to the decided fall in the level of
prices in the latter part of 1920. The
cost of production on farm products
marketed in 1920 were incurred dur
ing price levels that were materially
higher than the price levels when
those products were marketed"

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr. James H. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him helpless and unable
to work.
4 Ne finally decided after years of cease
less study, that no one can be free from
rheumatism until the accumulated impure
ties, commonly called uric acid deposits,
were dissolved in the joints and muscles
and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and finally
compounded a prescription that quickly
and completely banished every sign and
symptom of rheumatism from his system
He freely gave his discovery to others
who took it, with what might be called
marvellous success. After years of urging
fe decided to Ier sufferers everywhere
know about his discovery thru the news
papers. All druggists have been appointed
agents for Allenrhu in this vicinity with
the understanding that he will freely re-
turn the purchase money on the first two
bottles to all who state they received no
observation-disclosures.
