EVENTS OF A WEEK.
q The Mudania conference between Allied and
i aaTITurkish military leaders resulted early in the week
elm the framing of armistice terms which, submitted
by the Allies, were accepted by the Turks after
dstrong protest against some of the terms. The
rlTurkish protest was abandoned when it became ap-
parent that the Allies had gone to the limit in MAX
Hhng concessions, and especially when it became
1 TTknown that the French envoy stood with the British
IN their %insistence in the terms proposed. The
Turkish nationalists have all along relied on the
j i,1differences between French and British, and
although this they have been able to gain conces-
sstsions which otherwise would have been out of the
1auestion.
Greece, like Turkey, is dissatisfied with. the
terms of the agreement, but it has been declared
GGcertain that Grecian acceptance would be forthcom-
hing. The agreement provides for the prompt evac-
3pation by the Allies, and the retirement Of the Al
4 lilies as the Turks are able to take charge Of civil
5government in the province. The political ques-
Etions involved are to be settled at a general peace
| conference the time and place of which have not
lyet been fixed. It is practically certain that the
! United States will be invited to participate in this
/ conference, there being general recognition of the
fact that the United States. as a world power, is
I FQSeply interested IN the making OF terms which Will
insure the permanent maintenance of peace.

The Far Eastern discussions are being reflect
ed in an important way in political discussions in
Great Britain, where Premier Lloyd George has
been bitterly attacked for his foreign policy, and
where he has just responded to the attacks in a
| spirited address at Manchester. It had been thought
likely that the vigorous assaults made on the pre-
nier presaged the breaking up of the coalition gov
ernment and the ~recasting of political alliances sub
~stantially along the old lines. While this still re-
mains a possibility, the address in support Of the
~premier by Austen Chamberlain, leader of the Con-
servatives, is generally held to be an indication that
the expected break is not to come at this time, and
| that in the elections which must come soon Lloyd
George will have the support generally of the coali-
Stion organization.
l The coal situation in the United States is I'm
proving. There is not the remotest possibility of
averting a grave coal shortage, but work at the
mines is being speeded up remarkably, and coal is
Il coming at an almost unprecedented rate. Distribu-
ton, always difficult at this time of the year, has
33been managed better than was thought possible.

Little has been heard from the lake seamen's
strike. AS in all such cases, conflicting statements
are made. The strike leaders declare that so per
cent of their men are out, and that vessels putting
out from lake ports are under manned, or manned
with inexperienced and unqualified men. The car
Elriers say that their ships are adequately manned,
1and the manifest fact is that boats are moving on
1.-The lakes and delivering ROOdS. Marine autnOrltleS
E@Ighave evidently concluded that the conditions con-
sIstitute such an emergency as to warrant ~fexibility
m the enforcement of the usual shipping regula-
E5ISfions. The public generally is more concerned in
receiving the service which this shipping can give
than in the minutae OF sailing regulations.
Iss7 The prohibition laws of the United States have
assumed an international aspect through the ruling
#Nofsfh attorney general that no vessels OF any char
acter may pass within three miles of the American
eIstpasts with liquor on board. One result of the Ful-
EI Snfn9 ii that regardless of what the courts may decide,
