We shall return to Mudania to-
night" -"
At today's conference the Turks
refused to specify the number of
gendarmes they desired to send to
Thraec. The British delegation
had instructions to insist on limi-
tation of the number permitted.
In the course of the afternoon
session General Harrington de-
manded of ISmet PaSha that the
Turks withdraw their forces from
the neutral zone near Ismid. Un.
less this was done. he declared. he
might be obliged to make. a dem
onstration on both flanks of the
Turkish forces.
Immediate suspension of the
ferryboats on the Bosphorus and

Tho War Psychology.

The psychology OF this is worthy OF
more than passing mention. Do Ameri-
cans really regret that America entered
the war and saved the world from what
seemed at the time domination OF
kaiSerism? The truth OF the matter is
that the burdens of war are much more
widely known and felt today than they
were IN 1917 and the fact is war-makinx
IS more unpopular now than II ever
was. AS TO whether in the circumstan-
ces that existed a member Of congress
was right in voting against war is quite
another matter. The probabilities are
that persecution of a man who tried to
exercise an independent judgment, mis-
taken as IT may have been. leads To the
counter-attack. The Republicans have
no intention Of making Mr.. Dill mar
tyr and the Democrats are busily en-
gagged in showing tha, out of l5S op-
portuntties 10 support President Wilson
on his war measures. Mr.. Dill voted l66
times with the Democratic executive
So u would not seem as If either side
cares TO make. in Washington at least,
a campaign on war issues and Il is sus-
pected here that IL Mr.. LaFollette
hadn't been singled out for such ex-
tensive criticism he might not have been
so fortunate In the vote this wear in his
own state. Personal---very. what seem
ed TO be prosecution for independent
judgment-was really voted against in
the LaFollette case and the people here
are not anxious to make the same mis-
take. Analyiz;ng the situation through
out :he state one finds that the radicals
farmer-labor voters and other elements
which Roosevelt termed the "lunat!c
fringe are not organized Had they
combined they might have overturned
Mr.. Poindexter In the primaries Mr.
PoindeSter received about 43 per cent OF
the Republican vote. This Is more to be
sure than he got six years ago bur Il
proves that nearly sixty per- cent Of the
vote in the Republican party Is scatter
ed and might some day he combined 10
the distress OF the regulars. The Nom
Partisan League followers have pre-
ferred 10 work through n third ticket
Instead OF through the regular parties
which accounts for the difference be-
tween Washington and its neighborsnx
