ALLIES PROMISE
 TERRACE TO TURKS
TURKISH GOVERNMENT ACCEPTS ENGLISH PROPOSALS AT
 MUDANIA CONFERENCE.
TURKS ACCEPT TRUCE
LINE OF DEMARkATION BETWEEN
 BRITISH AND kEMALISTS
 AGREED UPON.

Constantinople. - The allies have agreed to turn over Thrace to the Turkish army in thirty days.
 The Mudania conference, it is under stood, probably will reach an agree ment on all points of the Turkish pro- posals with the exception of the provi- sion relating to the occupation of the western line of the MaritZa river by allied troops.
 The Turkish conditions agreement in the Mudania conference are as fol lows:
 1-Formal guarantees concerning the evacuation of Thrace.
 Establishment of allied garrisons in the larger towns of Thrace.
 3-Occupation of Thrace by Turkish Nationalist gendarmerie.
 4-Transfer of the civil administra, ton of Thrace to Kemalist functiona- ries.
 5-EvacuatiOn of Thrace within eight days by the Greek army.
 6-Occupation of the westerly line ol tile MdTllLd IlNcl Dy dihcu tiOopS'
 The delegates agree 10 establish a definite line of demarkatiOn between the British and Kemalist forces in the Chanak zone. The space between the opposing forces will be sufficient to place them out of rifle shot, thus les sening the danger of immediate con- flict.
 Cancellation marked the conference between the allied generals and the Turkish representative at Mudania Ismet Pasha. who speaks for Musta- pha Kemal Pasha, leader of the Ma tionalists, and also for the AngOra government, has announced that the government accepted the allied pro poSals in principle and he took occa- sion to explain that the Turks had no intention of creating incidents with the English
 Ismet asked for a settlement of the Turkish administration of Thrace and asked that Thrace be freed from allied control, but he felt that at least one month would be required to effect the transfer. He also suggested that there should be an allied covering force on the Maritza river and that neutral zone should be created west of that river.
 The allied generals explained that the proposed administrative measures must all be subject to the approval of the governments concerned.

Enough Branding Now.

There is pending in congress a bill purport-
ing to be designed to reduce the stealing of
automobiles. Its sponsors maintain that it
would serve this purpose by means of its
branding provision. federal registration
number would be stamped on the body and
engine of every in The country. That
would scerve a means of identification in
case of theft. and so, it IS argued, would dis
courage thieves. A district attorney in New
York state compares this device to the brand
ing of cattle and horses in the old frontier days.
The reason the horse thief has stopped his
depredations, ne says, is that owners branded
their animals so they could identify them and
then they strung up the thief as soon as they
caught him.
is branded now, on body and engine, by its
maker, with an identification number. Oppo-
nents of the proposed measure can't see the
need for another branding. More drastic &C
ton against the thieves would be more to the
point The real purpose back of the bill may be
rather the collection of the branding fee by the
government a means of revenue. The es-
adjustment of federal licensing would intro
duce federal taxation of motor cars. Automo-
bile associations insist that the cars are taxed
quite enough already, what with the war tax
paid purchase, the personal property tax
and the annual license fee paid to the state.

Putting aside restraint that it has long OBJ
served the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen has decided to enter the
realm of politics. A resolution endorsing this
policy has been adopted by the national con-
vention of the organization at Houston, Texas
Heretofore political activity has been prohib-
tied by the laws of the railroad order. What
effect this new declaration will have on the
order remains to be seen. 1t is hardly expected
to have material effect politics and political
activity of the country. There was a time
that labor was greatly feared by the politicians
of this country. That was before they dis
covered there was no solidarity or unity of
action in labor's ranks.
While organized labor declared that I'm
union there is strength" the principle was not
carried to the ballot box. When election day
came union men divided party tickets, Re-
publcans, Democrats and Socialists. Efforts
to form labor parties in the past have resulted
in failure. The Brotherhood of Firemen and
Enginemen proposes to act in concert with
other labor organizations and the result of the
new movement will be watched with interest,
if not with the fear that politicians would have
received it decade ago.

Deserving Farm and Kitchen.

For the first time in history there are
now more of us working in factories than on
the farms. The 1920 census shows that in two
fields of labor there has actually been a de-
crease in the number of workers, namely, the
farm and domestic personal service. The Ma
tional City bank of New York has been sum
ming up the chief changes shown in the 1920
census of persons engaged in gainful occupa-
lions. 1t discovers in the first place that the
analyses of occupations which have been made
show that while the number of persons at work
in agriculture was in 1920 less than double that
of 1870, the number engaged in manufa curing
and mechanical industries in round terms
five times many as in 1870 and those en-
gagged in trade and transportation six times as
many in 1870 While some allowance in
the case of the farm figures must be made for
the fact that the censuses in 1910 and 1920
were not taken at the same season of the year.
the writer for the bank does not see how that
can entirely account for the huge decrease.
The housekeeper who says she simply can't
find anybody TO come and work in her kitchen
is backed up by the census bureau. Owing to
changes in grouping it is impossible 70 make
comparisons further back than 1910, but it
does appear that the number of persons in do
nestle and personal service was materially
smaller in 1920 than in 1910, being the only
group besides farm labor showing decrease

Opportunity for the Church.

1t is the opinion of leading church and social
workers that the church must act to stimulate
a more general feeling of unselfshness in the
land. They view with alarm the advance and
encroachments of capitalism They see that
the great inanciers more and more gaining
control of the means by which business is tran
sacted and industries operated. They claim that
some of the great and essential basic industries
are now in the grasp of few, and that these
few are not regarding the welfare of the whole,
but merely their own interests. 1t is their be-
lief-that this species of private ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
will yet result in the ruin of the present civili-
cation if the tendency is not checked
Now it is not some wild bolshevik that talks
like this, but churchman to Methodists in one
of their conferences. 1t is deemed that the con-
dition has reached a point where it deserves
the most careful scrutiny The criticism is not
of capitalism in a modest sense, by which
man acquires home and competence but of
greed that reaches its hand out striving to
clutch everything that it can get hold of. We

Stimulating Industrial Revival.

The whole nation will be helped by the 10
per cent reduction in freight rates that has just
been ordered at Washington. 1t is only natural
that there should be some dissatisfaction among
the railroads, but this will be forgotten with
the increased business that will come to the
transportation systems. Il is estimated that the
annual saving to shippers will be $500 900, 600.
This saving will be passed along tie line until
IL finally reaches the consumer.
1t has long been complaint of industry
that the high freight rates were interfering with
its activities. Transportation costs must be

Filth and Moonshine,

+. Persons addicted to bootleg whisky may do
Sell TO consider the indictment brought
against the stuff by Judge James B. Hamilton of
Georgetown, Texas. The Judge declared in his
charge to grand jury that of 1900 samples of
confiscated moonshne analysed by the state
food and drug department only % we're found
E free from poison. And with the poison there
was such uncleanliness as no self-respecting
human being would tolerate in connection with
any other beverage The judge explained:
8 These Illicit stills are hidden in thickets,
fields, old outhouses and barns. The containers
often consist of old barrels after repeated use,
unspeakably filthy and ill-smelIing. The I'M
protected, fermenting mixture attracts animal
life, such flies, cockroaches, mice, bugs and
insects of every description. They all feed and
fatten the material and often die in it. Some
of this rotten stuff is not fit for bugs The
stills used to concentrate bootleg whisky as a
rule, defy all precautions taught by experience
and practice. In some instances they consist
of common boilers covered with filthy blankets
in which the alcoholic vapors are retained and
wrung out into bottles. Frequently old torn
mattresses furnish the necessary cotton for
straining the finished product"
After that the consumer of Illicit booze at
least cannot plead the excuse that he did not
know what he was getting. And the conditions
pictured are not at all peculiar to Texas.
