The separation Of the Caliphate. or
headship, of the Mohammedan relig-
ION from the Office of Sultan Of Tur.
key is a significant move and may
have an important bearing on the
settlement of Near East problems.
The new Caliph is Effendi, a relative
of the head Of the Nationalist Move
ment. European nations have been
forced to treat Turkey with greater
consideration because they have
known that she had a great influences
over the Moslem peoples Of Asia and
Africa by reason Of her leadership
of the religion. Turkey NAV hence
forth be regarded as a nation In
which state and religion are sepa-at-
ed, or more SO, at least, than in the
past.

Arrangements have finally been
made by which the last post office ad.
ministered by the u. s. in China is
to be discontinued. This Is in &C.
cordance with the recent agreements
made in the Washington Conference.
1t is a recognition Of China's right
ard ability to look after the affairs
of her alien population and is a step
further toward giving China her
place among nations. The u. S. has
believed in this and used her infiu-
ence to that end. It is our policy to
prevent foreign interference in China
as much as possible. This policy IS
to our own advantage as well as that
of China because it mears an open
door to trade. The withdrawal Of
our postal centers Is therefore con-
sistent.

not apparently endangered the exist

The utterances Of our distinguished
visitor from France, Clemenceau, are
causing much comment. It is evi-
dent that he had more Of q purpose
in comirg to America than at first
appeared. While it is not to be ex-
pected that his outspoken criticisms
will be agreed to by all, yet they will
set the American people to thinking
and the French statesman will have
chance also to understand the
American point Of view. The point
to which Clemenceau's remarks lead,
when he is pinned down to something
specific, is a fuller participation in
the Conference of Lausanne. It is
certain that the veteran statesman
will be treated with hospitality, and
he will be given a respectful hearing,
as has been shown already.

KENTUCKY IN FAIRLY GOOD

lie here today by the State Board Of
Health which gives Kentucky's death
rate for the year as 10.5, while the
average for the thirty-eight states
was ll.3, difference of g in Ken
tucky's favor.
In comparison with the states sd-
joining it, Kentucky also makes 4
good showing, only one ne ghbo-ing
state having a death rate lower than
Kentucky's, ono other having the
same rate, and all others having a
rate higher than this Common
wealth's.
OF these states Missouri, with a
death rate Of 1913, made the bes.
showing. Kentucky and Ohio. with
rates Of los, came next. Then, in
orde-, came Indiana, with a death
rate Of l0.7; West Virginia, 1913:
Tennessee, Ill, and Virginia, 1877.
West Virginia is not yet in the reg

for that state is its own.
