TURKEY ENrREScHEs.

HE Turk, having arrived VIGOROUSLY at the
point which was all he hoped TO gain, and in
reality q great doal more than he hoped to gain
whom he armed himself for the fray, can now be
expected to act with truer exempllAcatlon Of his
Turkish character than he has been able to display
for sometime.
Europe definitely will not tax stand against
him This knowledge is champagne in the cup OF
the Turkish Nationalist. The Turks now
claiming all honor for their achievement of Thrace.
They are Dragging about their remarkable army,
claiming that 1t Is tho greatest fighting muchne
In the world today, but the Turk knows in his
heart that the victorious gain for Turkish forces
lay not in the strength OF these forces, but in the
inability of England and France to agree over the
issue ut stake. II England and France, side by
side, had faced Renal and his army. the idolizcd
leader and his lighting machine would have cringed
away like beaten dog,
Now, however, things look immensely bright for
the Turks. They have come back, through the
grace Of these disaGreeing powers. to a renewed
vision OF Turkey for the Turks alone, and the
Nationalist have not been slow in proclamiig
some OF the policies they will follow. Beyond doubt
Of the first things they will do II permitted will
be the adjustment of christian missions and schools
The new party in control is going to ask for tho
multiplying OF the cXtratorritoral privileges that
have been extended TO foreigners in Turkey, and
there will be determined attempt to make it so
unpleasant for foreigners that they will lind 1t
expedient to operate elsewhere especially in SO far
as educational and religious activities concerned
For centuries 1t has been evidenced that the
Turk and those Of the Christian religion cannot
live peaceably together. Every crime in the au-
nails Of mankind nNs been committed against those
Of Christian faith By the followers OF Mohammcd.
The recent advantage of Turkey will intensity this
spirit The Nationalists are determined TO en-
trench thoir nation firmly upon the ground they
have gained, and influences Of disturbing nature
contrary to ale teachings and belief OF tho Turk
lsh people will be shaken off if 1t he COM

Mr.. Grossman president of the
Associated Harvard Clubs, declared
his hopes that the prejudices against

graduates might be found.
Mark Sullivan, newspaper CORE
