than is usual in that section, holding
his first public Office at the age Of
thirty-two as q member Of the Georgia

,On this question Mr.. Hoover speaks

The reasonins-if the word may be

He had now defeated in primary one
'of Mr.. Harding's closest friends and
advisers. Ergo. II elected senator he

In short. Mr.. Beveridge was in sub.
stance accused OF sailing under false
colors and meditating mischief at the
expense OF the republicans OF the
country and those Of Indiana in par.
ticular.
The reply to this is in the action
just taken. The republicans Of Mr..
Harding's home state have invited Mr..
Beveridge to open their campaign. and
he has accepted. Does this look as If
the republicans feared and Mr.. Bev-

Thus the situation at Athens is OF

and It may become necessary for them
TO intervene to prevent the prosecu-

and to insure the establishment OF a
government of whatever form that will
acccde to the terms agreed upon with

Meanwhile the situation in Asia
Minor remains extremely delicate. The
Turks are intrenchins in the neutral
zone, and are raiding beyond their
established lines. The British are also
irtrenching and seeking to extend
their lines. 1t is reported that the
Kernaiist leaders will reply to the al
lied proposals in terms OF 1nsistence
upon a movement of Turkish troops
across the straits during theSconfer-
ence and upon the inclusion Of Rus
sia at tie parley.
Although this government will take
no part in the proceedings its views
have been specifically expressed by
Secretary Hughes. who declares that
the United States unequivocally ap-
proves the proposals of the allies to
insure the freedom of the Dardanelles
and the protection of racial and re-
ligious minorities. This government
cannot fail TO be interested in the mat
ter, even though it abstains from par
1icipation in negotiations and in any
conference that may he held. Whether
it's declaration through the Secretary
of State will have an effect upon the

Ssh possession and control OF the
