braces 157 separate items of construction work either recently let or to be let in the near fu- ture The projects are all in the southern states, and in none is the list more imposing than in Alabama and the states to which her road material dealers cater.
 More money and more mileage are involved than at any stage of street and road building Nn the history of the south Past records will be smashed into smithereens. Weather permit ting, the southern states are going to make construction mark this year SO far above any prior year that there will be no comparison.
 Those who have followed the action of va rious states and municipalities in voting bonds for highway construction are not surprised. With the first showing of easier money these bonds commenced selling, and they have been sold by the tens of millions.
 Alabama's $25, 5,ooo,ooO for roads seems large sum, but the state of North Carolina is beating that by twice the amount, and will spend it all this year.
 Road work this year will employ many thou sands of men directly and many more thousands in making cement brick, clay and iron pipe and steel bridges. No city will reap more of the benefit than Birmingham because it is the geo. graphical center of the south, and its road ma- terial mills enjoy distributing advantages not duplicated by any other important manufac- turing point.

NAVALLIMITATION
 DEPENDS ON TREATY
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
 It has been mentioned in the Senate debates, but not with the emphasis warranted by the vital importance of the fact, that the four power treaty and the naval limitation treaty are companion pieces, the latter being unaccept- able to this country without the safeguards pro- vided by the former. Scrupulously refraining from any appearance of coercion, President Harding has avoided suggestion that defeat of the four-power treaty would impel him to with tion, but the probability that he would do so is one of the things the Senate must reckon with.
 It is the four-power treaty, removing or min imizing the possibilities of conflict in the Pa ciic and abrogating the Anglo-Japanese al- liance, that makes it possible for America 10 agree to the program for limiting naval arma- ments and to discontinue further fortifieation of Pacific possessions. Without abrogation of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, provided for n the four-power treaty, the ratio of 5-5-3 ceases to be any such ratio at all and becomes ratio of to against the United States. So long the offensive and defensive alliance between Great Britain and Japan remains, the British and Japanese navies must be counted as one, and the United States must safeguard itself against their joint effectiveness. It must do this abandon altogether the theory of an equilibrium in naval strength.
 It is not sufficient to say that war between the two English-speaking peoples is unthink- able, nor is there adequate assurance of safety in the assertions of British statesmen that the alliance is not aimed at this country The al- liance is a concrete fact, and the others are but theories. A statesmanship predicated upon theories, in blind disregard of facts, could lead nowhere but to ruin. Americans continue, probably the most altruistic of the worlds peo- pies. But their eye teeth have been cut in re- cent years and their wisdom teeth are beginning to show through They never would consent to the limitation of naval ornaments without the four-power treaty, which makes limitation pos sible without imperiling national safety.
 So it ought to be understood throughout the country and frankly Acknowledged in the Sen ate that those senators who are opponents If the four-power treaty also are opponents Of the limitation of armaments. It may not be the purpose of opponents of the four-powcr treaty to defeat armament limitation but that would be the effect should their opposition prevail It would not make the consequences any less ae- plorable because they did not mean to do it.

CREEKS AND TURKS
From the Providence Journal.

From the fFOVlQence JOQrndl.
 Nicholas Stratos, having failed to form cabinet in Greece, has so informed King Con- stantine. The King has turned once more to ex-Premier Gounaris, his staunchest political supporter, who led the successful movement for the overthrow of Venizelos and the return of Constantine to Athens and who promised the war against the Turkish nationalists. Gou- naris' greatest pride has been in the fact that under his guidance, the Greeks have occupied six times more territory in Asia Minor than they received by the treaty of Sevres
 But this pride could not wholly sustain him when he went to Paris and London last fall to seek aid in financing the war that he started and could not finish. His reception by the French and the British was far from cordial He was told plainly what he must agree to if aid were given. His willingness to accept terms, however, did not set well with 1nany of his aaherents or with the opposition in the Chamber of Deputies. And so he went on the shelf along with his ancient enemy, Venizelos.
 He may be able to reform cabinet that will have sufficient strength to recapture the confidence of the chamber and push the for eign policy that Greece has followed since Con- stantine came home But the chances of mak-
 
 creasing The King remains heavy handicap. The treasury is empty; the Greek army is in no condition to attack vigorously; and the Turkish nationalists are showing signs of re- newed strength. For some time there has been apparent disposition to give more latitude to the Turks than was prescribed by the Sevres treaty. Indeed, France and Italy openly favor the Turks and want to see them established again in Constantinople, Smyrna and Thrace Great Britain's early enthusiasm for the Greek cause has been waning ever since it became certain that the Greeks, by themselves, could not crush Mustap pha Kemal Pasha and admin ister the territory that Venizelos' statesman ship gained for them. Greece today is as friend less as Turkey was after the armstice.
 The situation points to onl yone conclusion, the revision of the treaty of Sevres for the ben eft of the Turks. Naturally the Greeks will bitterly oppose any attempt at such revision and civilized peoples everywhere will deplore it because the revival of Turkish rule at Con- stantinople and in the Near East means the re- turn of government which in four and a half centuries never did an ounce of constructive work in the land that it despoiled. The blame for the restoration, which seems inevitable, must fall alike on the shoulders of the Greeks who brought the faithless Constantine back and of the allies who could not forget their polti- cal iealousies in order to abolish forever the Turks control of the main gate between Europe and Asia,

PLEASED WITH BIDS

THIS IS TYRANNY
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
 Lenine exhibits his cruel nature and gives the first hint of constructive genius. He is setting Big Bill' Haywood to work! Mir. Haywood for long time has been one of the champion lookers-on in Moscow. He has "deliberated with the Third Internationale; he has stood at Trotzky's elbow saluting the soviet army it passed in review. He has slept and eaten well. Life in the old winter palace could not have been more otiose. Big Bilr' was happy.
 But now Lenine has bethought himself that the big fellow describes himself as an indus trial worker and that he has following in America. Since the main difficulty of the soviet is to get anybody to produce for it, the feat of sending the husky bail jumper to the Ural coal mines to crack the whip over 4,800 American l. w. W. who want to .,e bossed by true comrade will be no mean achievement.
 MT. Haywood may be coy about turning from loafer into captain of industry, but if that's the role Lenine has assigned him there bayonets enough in the red army to prick him, to the job. .The outline of the iron works and coal mine project in the Urals indicates that the proceeds of the undertaking are to go into the soviet chest. All work and no pay for Big Bill" Haywood! Nikolai Lenine, you're clever.

ALLENBY OF MECIDDo
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
 Consider Aenby-the man who set Jerusa- lem free! His fame comes from his operations in land where conquerors may have been made and unmade. It is old ground first Pales- tirs end then Egypt. His title, when he was made peer, was Lord of Megiddo, which is another name for Armageddon. He was one general who fought 8 battle like those Ma poleon used to fight. He planned it in advance and when he had finished it his enemy was out of the war. Afterwards he was sent to Egypt and out of clear sky, just his famous vic tory, came the announcement of Britains offer of freedom to Egypt. Alenby is man who thinks everything out and then acts, with the appearance but not the fact of haste. It is merely that the world is hardly prepared for the sudden announcement of what he has striven quietly for long time to accomplish. Of all the war heroes he Is likely as any other to live in story and history. In peace as in war he has proved himself It is the exception, rather than the rule, that the great soldier is also the great administrator.

FORD'S LAST PENNY

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 Charles L. Parsons, consulting chemist who formerly was technical adviser to the gov ernment on nitrate fxaton, has testified before the House military committee that it is inn possible to produce fertilizers commercially at nitrate plant No. 2 at Muscle Shoals. 1t appears from the witness testimony that the Ford plans contemplate this operation of the plant. That is the blunder, Mr. Parsons insists and goes on to say that Ford will Hose his last penny" if he tries to do it.
 Mr. Parsons may be an eminent authority in his speciality but when he talks about Henry Ford "losing his last penny he is pretty sure to amuse the American public. MT. Ford has his qualities, but thus far, it must be confessed, he has shown no aptitude at all for losing money. Indeed, Mir. Ford might exclaim in the very words George NJ. Conan used the other day that q have never lost money anything in my life"
 In disposing of the Muscle Shoals project Congress of course, must be cautious and pru- dent, but the probability of Henry Ford's going broke need not be included among the congress sonal anxieties. That position may be taken in the face of Charles L. and all the other Parsons.

WOMAN WAS SUCCESSFUL
 IN WALL STREET

The rather common belief among men that women have no head for business is not borne out by the speculative career of Mrs. Sarah l. Wykoff Bent, known the "shrewdest woman operator in Wall street."
 Administrators of Mrs. Bent's estate found more than a million dollars worth of jewels and securities in safe deposit boxes which her closest friends didn't know she possessed The banking house of J. P. Morgan 6 Co., stated that Mrs. Bent had cash deposit of $82, 900 there, and it is now believed that her entire for tune amounts to more than $3,50o oo0, all of it presumably made by speculating in Wall street. Mrs. Bent showed her shrewdness dur ing the panic of 1907. She bought heavily of United States Steel when the stock was at low ebb and made half a million dollars.
 No woman in this country has ever ap- preached Hetty Green ss a fnancier, but the profits of Mrs. Bent were considerable and in marked contrast to the millions other members of her sex have lost by intrusting their money to interruptions brokers, or trying to play the market themselves. Hetty Green was match for the smartest fnanciers of her time. There were frills about Hetty, and it is never re- corded that she turned dollar aloose without knowing exactly where it was going and the approximate time when it would return to show profit.
 Since women are becoming. more and more active and successful in business the idea that they lack business sense has been considerably modified, but long before the modern era there were women who supported worthless hus- bands and educated their children by running boarding houses. Any woman who can make money that way is potential captain of in- dustry.

MARY'S GIFTS

From the Chicago Herald and Examiner.
 We wish it were possible to share with everyone the pleasure which is to be found in reading the official list of the wedding presents at the recent union of the Princess Mary and Viscount Lascelles.
 They promise a weIl-furnished home and well-stored minds for the young couple.
 We do not speak now of the IT vanity cases or the Il ostrich feather fans re- eeived by the happy, possibly somewhat dis concerted bride, but rather of the "gilt- mounted, kidney-shaped box" from Lord and Lady Dundas, and "The History of Norfolk" :" in 12 volumes, from Lady Agnes James
 The desire of our own heart has always been for something to keep kidneys in, be- fore stewing them, and we venture to believe that all right-minded folk, however royal, agree with us
 As for the history of Norfolk, what stim- ulant to ambition! When weary over the vacuum cleaner or despairing at the price of coal, one may reflect that somebody, some obscure, but dauntless soul, has stuck at the job of elaborating the history of Norfolk till he has produced 12 volumes. If such feat is in human power, what right has any to de- sparf
 We are intrigued also by "The Life and Works of osias Humphrey" from Lord Will loughby de Brake; by the copy of Daily Light" from the Hon. Constance Walde- grave; by Queen Mary, Vol. l." from Sir Clement Cooke (Vol. out of print, per- haps?) and particularly by "13 volumes of the Botanical Magazine" from Lord and Lady Gainford. Who says 13 is an unlucky number? The Gsinfords have more shelf room now.
 But by far the most touching in it's sym bolism is the gift of "the royal relatives of the bride great uncle, great aunts, aunts and uncles and cousins" It is an antique clock with book of signatures. Time is, time was; time shall be no more for royal relatives.
 Alas, their antique clock has stopped.

MILNER THE RIGHT MAN
From the Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register
 Chairman H. Key Miner of Birmingham is demonstrating daily that he is the right man in the right place at the head of the harbor commission. Not only his exceptional business standing as one of the first in Birming gham's community life, but his own personality is a tremendous asset to the cause, into which he has entered with wholehearted enthusiasm.
 Sunday he had most Illuminating two- column interview in the Birmingham News on the reasons why the state should adopt the port amendment It is so we'll done it should be printed pamphlet and circulated throughout the state where education on this subject is the paramount task confronting it's advocates.
 Birmingham and Jefferson county will give the port amendment overwhelming ma jority, because Birmingham and Jefferson are we'll informed current matters and eco- monies. The steady movement of steel and other products down the Warrior during the re- cent depression has been a most convincing demonstration to those people of the value of adequate facilities for foreign trade. The peo- pie of Birmingham are "sold'' on the merits of port improvement, and will come up wiah huge vote for it. but the great task is to cince the remote districts, whose people cannot thoroughly visualize benefit to themselves in great port at Mobile.
 MT. Miner will undoubtedly do this. He is proceeding, about his task in such a way as to inspire the utmost confidence of all friends of the port amendment His persuasive argu- ment his fine personality, his standing and his reputation as conservative business man of large affairs all assets to the cause. Bir- mingham knows and believes in Key Milner and will back him in almost anything he under takes. Birmingham will do more-she will mili- tantly fight for the port amendment because in the lean months of the past she has been shown" and is convinced of it's merits.
