LAUSANNE, Dec. > ASSOCIATED

to make Il hard fight to sustain the claim
that the Kemalist government has sue
cessfully terminated the special privi-
leges accorded to foreigners under the
Constantinople regime.
The progress of the capitulations dis

watched with great interest at Angora,
as the more extreme Nationalists insist
that the privileges have been so CALLING
to Turkey that the country viii never
again submit to such a brand of inferi-

The Nationalists spokesman will at
tempt to prove to the conference that
all capitulatiOns have been waived by
the Angora government, that Turkey
must no longer be hampered by foreign
control of her customs and financial af-

The Old-Time Circus.

In these days of the greatest show on
earth" some Of the old-timers are beginning to
question whether the new is any better than
the old. And the consensus of opinion is that
the new has no edge on the old. Thirty years
ago the circus of that.day was thing to be de-
lighted in by both boys and men. In the old
days when the parade was over the crowd
flocked to the big tents and there saw in one
ring the finest exhibition of skill and daring
that the world has ever known. And they had
the songs of the clown, accompanied by the
band, in such classics as Il Shall Never Miss
My Love Again Behind the Kitchen Door," with
the added zest of the ringmaster cracking his
whip at the heels Of the singer. All, those were
the great days. We shall never see their like
again. Today we have three rings and COM
PEELED to fix our eyes on one of them just as in
the days Of old. Why not one big one, then, with
its splendor Of swift bareback riding instead of
the tumble Of acts hardly enc of which anyone
can really take in. The big circus perhaps
pays more money to its numerous actors than
did the old. But the total effect is less enjoy
able than was the smaller and better exhibition
Of the 70's. The world does move, but it does
| not move any more pleasurably than it did in
| the good old days OF the one-ring circus

The School Army.

The return Of children to school this autumn
is far more important event than most OF NJ
realize. These children form an army, prepar-
ing to reinforce US in attacking life's problems.
These problems are more knotty, more numer-
Gus, than when present men were serving their
apprenticeship in the my'of education. Big
ger problems require better training. more in
tensive study. To children the return to
school is rather sad affair. To grounwups it
has the coloring of an adventure, for schooling
is the door of the future. Somewhere among
the millions of returning school children are
future presidents, future millionaires, future
scientists. future productive geniuses, future
failures Most Of them, sadly, will 60 through
life not far removed from failure. Just how
far removed depends to considerable extent on
whGsthey get out Of education. Any one who
comprehends the great changes now taking
place in the world reaizes that the future will
be an age of specialization, far more so than
the present. Therefore it is important for
youths, particularly for boys, to decide as early
as possible what careers they are best fitted to
follow. With definite goal in sight there will
be less waste of time wandering down lanes
that head off from the main road to success.
Help them find their goals.

Mere Dollars Will Help.

Outbursts of certain senators against the
soldier bonus bill on the ground that services
to ones country cannot be measured in money
are very diverting. Senator Reed of Pennsyl-
vania and Senator Underwood Of Alabama offer
excellent examples of argument against the
bonus on high moral and patriotic grounds.
Far be it from me-" said Senator I'm wood,
ito say that il the services Of these men can
be measured in dollars, $e25 is too much to give
them. If you are going to measure mems serv-
ices to their country when they offer their lives
as sacrifices, in mere dollars, then to my mind
to offer them, on that standard Of measure,
$625 is an absurd proposition. I know that
would not have been willing to be shot at for
the army pay and allowances and $625 if that
was all that was involved. hope that If had
been OF the military age I would have had the
courage and the patriotism to serve my country
in the ranks. but l would not have served it
for dollars"
That kind of reasoning is amusing Why
didn't senators utter the same elevating senti-
msnts when $1,000, 10000 were voted to satisfy
uncompleted war contracts and when $2,000,-
100000 were voted for the railways as compen-
sation for losses under government admins

HELLO. BILL,


Folks, the subject Of these stanzas.
william Allen White Of Kansas
Home address, Emporia, Kansas,
Runs a small-town daily Journal;
But because his mind is vernal, =
Fresh and open, keen and young,
Old Bill White has always swung,
Swings, and in the future will.
What I'd call q trenchant quill
william Allen White of Kansas
Sometimes praises, sometimes pans US.
In his editorial column
Bill is never dull or solemn,
Yet he treats Of serious things
In a style that clearly rings
With a simple, honest sanity,
All athrob with true humanity.
William Allen White Of Kansas
From his Office sanctum scans us,
With tolerant eye and kindly,
When we 60 at problems blindly.
Wise he is, yet not scholar,
Forceful, yet not prone to choler;
Thus he makes his rural paper
Something of an empire-shaper.
William Allen White Of Kansas
Loves. US, knows us, understands US,
Therefore when he writes screed
1t is something people read.
Unafraid of fake or fraud.
Calm, clear-headad, just and broad,
salute him in these stanzas,

Tall spikes of mignonette misty
with tiny bloom, stalked along be-
side low, old-fashioned garden
pinks, for all the world like spare,
stately gentlemen conducting
squatty ladies along the white
gravel walk to the porch door.
Against the ell of the cottage was
a perfect forest of rose bushes; and
as king over them, Haunting its
gaudy but beautiful clusters of
blooms, trailed Crimson Rambler
rose on its trellis, completely COW
ering the ell and making a sharp
contrast against the white cottage
with its green blinds.
An unkept lawn sloped down to
the street and on this lawn was
staked a COW. An aristocratic
moody, and a sure enough practical
moody, as evidenced by the show
of being a. big producer, also in the
steady cropping of the grass in
short, sharp swishes of the tongue.
But as an ornament to the front

Daddy" faltered 1S-year-old
Lila, with crimson cheeks and tears
held in check, "do-do. you have to
stake Betty there? Can't someone
NOW the lawn? If not, III cut the
grass with a sickle"
Mr.. Blake glanced at his daugh-
ter from under shaggy brows.
Nov what is it? What new idea
have you got into your head? Why
can't Betty crop the lawn? Don't
let me hear another word about
it," and Mr.. Blake showed his
chair noisily back from the table
and stumped out to the garden.
Tears of modification gathered
and rolled over, and Lila looked ap-
pealingly at her mother who shook
her head sadly and said with a
sigh. What your father says, Lila
has to CO."
Rays Of silver moonlight FILTERED
through the trees. but lay strong
and bright on the lawn, picking out
the drops Of dew like SO many
flashing Jewels, as a dark slender
figure crept stealthily around the
house and was soon crouched ovel
on the lawn, gently moving and
swaying to rhythmical snip-snip
CONTINUOUS and monotonous.
Hours passed, the moon had sail
ed aloft, grandly beautiful, serene
and majestic; then with no hint o.
defeat, but seeming to know 1t wa.
the withdrawal of its own majesti,
splendor that caused the deepening
shadows. 1t slowly sank from sigh
below the hill, leaving the lawn il
total blackness.
Great layers Of fragrance hum
heavily in the still air, and the lit
tie dark form had nearly covere,
the entire lawn with its mysteriou

Joint screaming with pain, with sof
