At Mudania Today.

Today in the shadow of Mount
Olympus, at Mudania. on the shores of
the Sea of MarmorI are assembled
representatives of the allied powers
and of the Turkish nationalist govern
men. discussing terms of armistice
Isney seek an arrangement by which
~ar may be averted between the
turks and the British. Mustapha ke-
anal Pasha. military leader of the
Turks. and head of the government of
.>Sora. though not the titular head
of the government of Turkey. in effect
holds the power of decision. The in
1uence of France, whose representa-
:lve, Franklin Bouillon, is described
in dispatches as KemaTs best friend,
is exerted toward peaceful settle
ment, and such a settlement appears
10 be most likely. For it is more to
the interest of kemal to avoid con-
tlict if he can gain ultimate possession
Of Thrace than to precipitate war
II, which Great, Britain will have al;
tne advantage Of greater sea powel
and the virtual certainty of supper
from France and Italy.
What seemed to be q paradoxical
Evening star., 1922-10-03

obstacle to peace has been apparently
removed. When Kemal demanded the
immediate evacuation Of Thrace by
Greece and the right to occupy it
with Turkish troops he imposed a
condition which could not be granted
short of complete abandonment by
England of it's eastern policy and in
volvment in dangerous intrigue in
Europe. The Greek revolution, predi-
Gated upon the defense of Thrace,
seemed to make the granting Of Ke-
mars demand an undertaking on the
part OF England or the allies to COM
pei Greece. perhaps at the point Of
arms. to aba "d)n >he Thracian field.
But now compromise proposal has
been advanced, the kemalists indicat-
occupied by allied forces and the civil
administration Turned over as quickly
as practicable to Turkish officials.
Thus it may be that the government
at Athens will find way out of the
difficulty by yielding to an allied occu-
patton.
Enthusiasm for war against Turkey
over Thrace has visibly waned al
Athens. and the way now seems
cleared for a settlement that will save
the face of the new Greek government
without involving any further con-
fiict.
But by whatever steps the settle
ment is reached. ii is assured that
kemal Pasha will leave the Mudania
meeting Il winner in substantial terms.
He has been under severest pressure
and the strongest temptation to press
on to Constantinople and into Thrace.
and doubtless when the full story is
told it will be found that he has
been a factor for peace and not the
conquering Turk usually depicted.
Whether he had any share of re-
sponsibility for the Smyrna horror is
not now known. That story remains
to be told. The fact that he did not
strike week or ten days ago at the
straits shows either a pacific disposi-
ton or a shrewd realization of the
military odds which have been in
creasing against him steadily as the
British have strengthened their forces.
The Mudania meeting will not settle
the near eastern question, but will
merely supply the basis of a future
conference at which these troublesome
matters relating to the straits and to
the control of Constantinople and the
care of alien nationals within the
Turkish area and possibly the status
Of Russia will be discussed

South American Trade.

A cable from Cherbourg, France.
says:
Burgomaster Adolph Max. the war
time mayor of Brussels. arrived Sat
urday on the steamship Berengaria.
He expressed himself as delighted
with his recent visit to South Amer
ica. and was high in his praise of the
South America that our countries
ought to look for their most impor-
tant commercial outlet" he said. He
added that there were cordial bonds
of sympathy shown in Brazil both for
France and Belgium.
America should be supreme in all
those markets, and can be made so by
the proper management.
First Of all. there must be estab-
lished an American merchant marine.
America must be able to deliver her
products to her foreign customers
wherever they reside. She cannot af-
ford to be longer dependent on outside
sea carriers, no matter how complete
their equipment. The larger her trade
the greater the necessity Of her indie
pendence in controlling every feature
Of it.
Then follows the necessity Of study
ing those markets, not with the view
Of changing their tastes and wishes
to conform to American notions, but
of making the proper preparations for
supplying what is needed and wanted.

America and the Near East.

Secretary Hughes distinctly states
the limitation affecting this govern
ment in its cndeavor to prevent the
near eastern catastrophe, in his reply
TO Bishop James cannon, who, cabling
from Paris, dey!a ~es that the United
States government will be held re-
sponsible for inaction while outrages
have been committed against Chris
tians in Asia. Mr.. Hughes notes the
fact that there has been no action
by Congress To justify the United
States in an attempt by armed forces
TO pacify the near east ''0r to engage
in acts of war Without such action
the executive has no authority to go
beyond the course it has pursued. In
brief. short Of going to war with
Turkey this government could not
have prevented the disaster. and ii
might not have been able TO prevent
il even if at war.
1t appears from Bishop Cannon's
cable that in July American church
bodies urged the State Department to
take whatever steps We're necessary
To protect eastern Christians. Secre
tary Hughes notes that in June the
,...:,v,. States agreed to join in an in
,;uiry which 1t was i. :.ad would place
responsibility and prevent the recur-
renee of atrocities. On the Sth of
September. before the burning of
Smyrna, the American high commits
Sioner at ConStantinople voiced this
country's feeling in earnestly impress
ing upon the Turkish nationalist au-
thorities the importance of taking the
most energetic steps to insure the
population of the occupied territories
-e.:-st repr,saIs.
Cndorb:n :nGly the sentiment of the
people of this country is strongly
against war as Il means of protecting
Christians In the near east from Turk
ish brutality. The United States has
no political interest in the near east
ern situation. 1t has, however, a
strong humanitarian interest, there as
elsewhere. 1t has expressed that in
terest to the limit of its ability in
works of Succor and relief.
Involvement by the United States in
the political situation in Asia Minor
would not necessarily have prevented
the disaster at Smyrna or the other
horrors in that region. Most Amer
leans feel that this government should
not become thus involved. WARRIOR
it would mean war if the United
States made formal protest with de-
termination to enforce it-would
plunge this country into all Of the tur-
n1oil and the intrigue of European
politics, would cost it tremendously in
lives and in treasure, would perhaps
spread the flames of conflict over all
the world.
The powers in Turkey know the at
titude of this government toward the
treatment of Christians in Asia Minor.
1t requires no ultimatum to define
that position.

Diet and Effciency,

what's the food of war? Upon what
meat doth this, our Ceasar. feed that
he hath grown SO create" is a ques-
ton that has never been answered in
detail. Jack Dempsey says he eats
meat once a day, drinks coffee in
the morning and gets away with
plenty of fruits and vegetables at all
meals. In the German army the diet
of the troops was thought to be re-
duced to a matter of scientific ex-
actness. But the war upset more
than one German theory. 1t appears
that the favorite food of the Amer
ican doughboys was not meat all, but
sweet chocolate, chocolate cake and
whipped cream. plus cigarettes. At
least that was what they consumed
in vast quantities during the early
days of their occupation of the
Rhineland, and they introduced this
inspiriting fodder to the German
people, and the craze for these things
has now spread throughout Germany.
The rotund native German now sinks

This issue Of The LIano Colonisi
closes the first year of its work in
Llano's Louisiana Colony.
As stated in the first issue, one year
ago, the Llano Colonist was born to
grow. This it has done in both size,
quality and circulation.
Published as four-page paper; il
has doubled its size.
The quality is also quite as good.
The addition Of the Federated Press
Service has enabled The Llano Col
onist to become a real progressive
NEWSpaper. giving without capitalistic
coloring Or party humbuggery, the UNI
furnished news from the worlds work
inc class centers.
The circulation Of The Llano Colon
ist has been set for 100000. Mechan-
ical arrangements at the Colony print
shop are being made 50 that, with some
extra help which is now needed in the
way Of skilled printers. the goal of
100000 circulation can be reached.
This, Of course. depends largely up
on our friends. We can only provide
the best weekly paper it is possible to
make. We CAN do il. We believe we
are doing it now. but we can do bet
ter, and we will soon. But the matter
Of advertising The Llano Colonist is up
to YOU. Thousands would read about
Llano and be glad to get the news of
Llano if you would introduce them to
The Llano CoIonist.
YOU do your share, and we will do
OURS. That's practical cooperation.
Do this every week. and we will have
a splendid story to tell you next May
Day.
