And the Thames and clyde and shannon
and the Tiber and the Nile,
And the Ganges and the YUKON. where
the gods OF fortune smile.
And the River Rhine that features such

lists understood 1t, was to join with
TRoTzKY in the overthrow OF Turk
ish .Nationalism and the conversion
of Anatolia to Bolshevism. Before
he could bring his plans to fruition
he was captured. He has started
for Angora, not conqueror as he
hoped but prisoner.
These form the latest chapters in
the most remarkable life story OF
modern Turkey. ENvER was the son
of a carpenter of Stamboul who did
odd Jobs for ABDUL HAND around the
Yildiz Kiosk; as a reward for his
iaithfulness the Sultan promised the
carpenter that his son should be ed
ucated as an army officer. Strange
as it seems, the Sultan kept his prom
ise and the boy whom he put in the
army became the chief actor in his
overthrow. ENyER was one of the
leaders of the Young Turks; he soon
became the greatest power in the
Ottoman Empire by making himself
the head of the Committee of Union
and Progress.
Through his acquaintance with Cen
eral LIMAN Won SANDERS, the officer
sent by the Kaiser to train the Otto
man army he came easily under Ger
man influence. He had Turkey aligned
with the Central Empires long before
she entered the war. 1t was undoubt-
edly his orders that brought about
the bombardment of Russian ports
and forced Turkey into open HOSTILE
ties. During the world war he was
supreme commander Of the Ottoman
Empire. His two so-called Chief Min
listers, TALAAT Bey and DJEMAL Bey,
were merely creatures who willingly
carried out his orders.
Both of these men were made CO
defendants with ENvEH in the Turk
ish court and both fed from Con-
stantinople at the same time he did.
TALAAT was killed by an Armenian
ON the streets of Berlin, and his chief
counselor, SAID ALI Pasha, was
killed by an assassin in Italy.
DJEMAL Bey, who has twice escaped
assassins, is still fugitive. One of
ENvER's friends, KEMAL Bey, who was
convicted with him, was hanged in
Constantinople. At that time three
other gallowses were standing at the
place of execution; the one nearest
TO KEMAL's was pointed out as held
specially in reserve for the once pow
erful war lord himself.

Park Employees Protest.
In The Bronx Their Work Like Their

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: AS an

employed in this department
we are now ordered to work three
days a week. We have been allowed
to work only four days a week since the

Of the three days n week pay we must
pay into the municipal employees pen
sion system s2.s5 week. which leaves
us very little to support our families on.
Now that the 1922 appropriation Is

The price OF the golf links permits has
been Increased and no provision made
to give the people the pleasure OF the
sport they arc paying for. as the links
are in n deplorable condition, notwlth-
standing the fact that the Department

Enver Pasha a Prisoner.

Set a Turk to catch Turk and he
will get him. This explains why
ENvER Pasha, former war lord of
Turkey and the man whom the SUI
preme Council of the Allies described
as the greatest criminal of the world
war and the Constantinople Govern
ment declared was the biggest rascal,
the most deGDicable thief and the
greatest murderer OF all ages, is a
prisoner after = three years search.
The Allies sought him to try him on
the charges made against him, the
Constantinople Government wanted
him in order to hang him, it having
already found him guilty in his abb
sence and sentenced him to death.
Neither the Allies nor the Sultan's
Government could find him. But
when ENvER tried to play the Turkish
Nationalists against the Moscow
Soviet MusTAPHA KEMAL Pasha
thought that il was time to end his
shrewd political game and sent for
him. ESvER, according to the latest
report, is on his way to Angora, the
Nationalist capital.
After the defeat of the Turkish
army and the utter collapse of the
Ottoman Government at the end of
the war ESvER disappeared from
Constantinople. He left an absolutely
empty Turkish treasury. A Constan-
tinople report said that he took away
with him S11O,000,O00 in national
funds and a sum as large amassed
in war contracts and profiteering cx-
actions. Tho allied authorities held
him responsible among other crimes
for the death of approximately
I 100000 Armenians. The CONSTANT
nop'e Government charged him with
this crime, with the murder Of a
prince OF the Sultanate house, with
looting the imperial treasury and
with peculations during the war.
ENvER went first to Germany he
was heard Of next at Moscow trying
10 ingratiate himself with the Soviet
Government. In short time he
turned up as King OF the warlike
Kurds. chosen to the throne princi-
pally because his wife was niece
Of the Sultan. He appeared at An.

Of his reception. he returned to Kur.

A Golf Club for Women.

1t is in keeping with the history
of woman's progress that the United
States should have the first golf
course exclusively for women. Once
the Glen Head Golf and Tennis Club
is a going organization it is certain
to be initiated in other communities
in this country.
That the present era of greater
freedom for women should brinc
to them the enjoyment OF many priv
ileges previously regarded as belong
ing exclusively to men is natural.
When golf was introduced into this
country it was considered a mans
game, but with the growing dispo-
sition of the women Of the United
States and Canada to take part in
athletic pastimes it was not long
before feminine golf players Of
marked skill. some of them superior
10 most men players, were to be found
in the ranks of every club.
Women have of late years taken to
golf in ever increasing numbers. and
tournaments for women, some OF
which bring into action the best
women players from abroad. are now
annual fixtures. Every golf club not
exclusively for men has on its roster
q large number of women, and while
men as a rule have not shown
grudging spirit in the use of the links
there was in the situation an ele-
ment bound to arouse the spirit of
independence characteristic of women
to-day. Therefore a golf course for
women exclusively was a natural
development.
The new project could not be in bet.
ter hands. Miss MARION HoLLINs, the
national women's champion, will
have the benefit of the advice of the
British expert, Miss CECIL LEITcn.
This guarantees the establishment of
a course which will bring out the
best that is in the feminine follow
nrs of the exasperating but delight
full game.

Tax Exempt Securities.
They Attract Money Sought for Use
In Industrial Activities.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: John IL.
Judges letter on the subject of taxing
State bonds calls for a reply.
The practice OF issuing tax free Sc
curities has already done Incredible
harm by providing a convenient means
Of evading taxation particularly on the
part of the well TO do. and by retarding
the resumption OF Industrial activities.
Proof of this is seen in the shrinkage
of Federal income taxes. In two years
the collections in the Manhattan district
have decreased 54h per cent. not be-
cause incomes are so very much lowcr
but because taxable incomes have de-
creased. The investments OF She wealthy
arc now in tax exempt securities for
the reason that the heavy surtaxes can
be avoided. The capital needed for in
dustrial and utility development, for
trade activities of all kinds, seeks free
dom from tax persecution by withdrawal
from the narts of industry and trade.
The surfaces, which were proposed TO
throw the balance of tho heavy taxation
upon the rich, have. by virtue OF the
billions of tax free securities on the
market, become boomerangs, throwing
the burden of excessive taxation upon
those of small and moderate means.
II further evidence of the evils OF the
present tax laws is needed recent
event OF local occurrence may be cited.
The issue OF $55 100000 New York city
fifty year Az per cent bonds was over
subscribed several times at premium
of nearly 31A per cent.-the greatest
premium ever known in such a transac-
tion. These bonds were bought by bank
ers for resale TO wealthy clients. At the
same time the securities of strong
public service corporation in neigh
boring State carrying nearly double the
rate Of interest were being marketed
slowly among the customers of the util-
ity on deferred payment plan. These
securities were not tax exempt
The practice of issuing tax exempt
securities has seriously retarded the re-
sumption OF Industrial activities, COM
munity development and general trade.
To quote President Harding's words,
by stopping the issuance OF State and
municipal tax exempt securities I'VE can
guard against future encouragement OF
capitals paralysis

International Law.
Fundamental Principles Of Americas
Foreign Relations.

TO THE New York HERALD: Dsarma-
ment as practical policy Is discussed
very interestingly in the Fortuightly
Roa,icp for December last. a strong
argument for an Anglo-American aili-
ance is set forth and familiar quota
tions from the writings OF Jefferson
October "a. 1S23) and Madison (No-

their realization OF the advantages which
might be presumed to flow from a COM

the Anglo-Saxon peoples.

The Newberry Case.
Effect on the Senate's Decision OF the

To THE New YORK HERALD: Truman
TT. Newberry retains his seat In the
Senate. IL Il had not been for the Willis
amendment to the Republican resolution
II is doubtful ~ he would have been
saved. This opportune amendment both
condemned and caused the "vindication
OF the wolverine Senator. II was a case
Of damning and justlfying in the same

This situation reminds me of a per-
tinent story.

caught In the act OF stealing chickens
The evidence against him was damning.

Governor Miller on Crime.

Governor MILLER, besides being a
great jurist and master of political
economy, is a mighty good judge Of
human nature. He gives evidence Of
this in his summing up of the causes
of the crime wave.
When the Governor says I'VE are
living at pretty fast clip he states
a truth which even those who are
living fast will admit. The momen-
tum of the fat years, when the war
imitation made money easy for some
persons, still carries into the lean
years, so far as speeding is concerned.
The foolish keep UP the fast clip
until they are broke. The passion
for orchestra seats in the play OF
life-to use a metaphor from the
Governors interview-continues, but
after while the stairs to the gallery
will be crowded again.
Governor MILLER makes a reason
able observation concerning the ef-
feet of prohibition on crime. In
some quarters and among some
classes prohibition has met with re-
sistance. The law has been violated
by persons who ordinarily obey laws.
Their disregard OF the law has led to
disrespect of laws in general among
other persons.
When tac sQuanderers have spent
their easy money and the scandal
OF the non-enforcement Of the prohi-
bition laws is ended then the crime
wave may recede. Meanwhile the
police must keep ON their toes.

Loose Talk in the Senate.

United States Senator CARTER
GLASS of Virginia is newspaper
man accustomed to direct statement
of facts. He was member of the
constitutional convention of his
State, served several terms in the
House OF Representatives, was Secre-
tary of the Treasury to succeed Mr..
McADoo in President WILSON'S Cabi-
net, resigned and was appointed to
the United States Senate. Senator
GLASS is strong Democrat.
Senator GLASS is admired in Demo
cratic circles for his specific famil-
iarity with constructive financial
measures, especially the Federal Re-
serve Bank law. Many of his
Republican colleagues in the ma
tional Legislature for a number OF
years likewise have recognized Mr..
GLASS; thorough knowledge of the
law which brought the Federal
Reserve Bank into existence, and he
was Secretary of the Treasury in
very trying time in the nations
history.
United States Senator JAMES
THOMAS HELM of Alabama is
lawyer, with good record in his State
as Register in Chancery. In his
State he was a delegate to the con-
stitutional convention and Secretary
nf Iar Hao t.ox. ne
the House of Representatives, and is
now serving his first term in the
United States Senate. Senator
HELM is also an unqualified Demo
crat, known in both Democratic and
Republican circles as more or less
effervescent on most subjects.
There never was a time in the his
tory of the United States when the
country was more hungry for the
truth to guide the people in an un-
derstanding of the great questions
Before their Government and for
their future action at the polls. The
newspapers Of our country never had
clearer duty than they have now
to set the truth before the people in
the effort to make this Government
the most intelligent, substantial and
effective in the world.
Senator GLASS was compelled in
the United States Senate on Tuesday,
January II, to take Senator HELM
to task for loose, inaccurate and
reprehensible utterances. Senator
GLASS proceeding said:
