Thinkers
and Politics
4 LITTLE BOOK by Henri Bar
n busse, called "The Knife Be-
fwoon Tho Tooth D;a O ploa for

AS an argument 1t is not con-
vincing. In fact, it is not an argu-
ment so much as an impassioped
appeal. .....
But in the first part of the book
he says some things in regard to the
duty of intellectuals in politics
which are striking. Very often what
man says, by the way, is much
more interesting and convincing
than the gist Of his preachment.
He tells us that most people, with
the intellectuals at their head, affect
to despise politics. They regard pol
itics as field particularly full Of
offensive vulgarities.
In the present time and under the
present conditions, where the strug.
gle between right and wrong is wag-
ing, he considers that this attitude
is vicious, that it is "a sign of aria
tocratic myopia, or, rather, a pre-
text easily explainable but little
excusable, to remain comfortably
hidden from the rough and tumble
of life amidst clouds and phrases.
The tricks, the pettiness, the sor-
didness, the dull and narrow pas
sions of politics are but scattered
instances, and to build upon them
the generalization that politics is an
essential evil is an "infantine soph-
ism unworthy Of intelligence"
He proceeds then to give us some
very burning words Of exhortatiou
and Of warning, in a passage that is
almost a classic.
If the living world Is to
achieve q better order, or If it is to
remain where it Is, the matter
must be effected by political meas.
ures, and all words and ideas are
of no avail. To act politically Is
to pass from dreams to things,
from tho abstract to the concrete.
Politics is the effective work
ing out of social thought; politics
is life.
If we admit any sort of con.
nection between theory and prac-
tice, we must take our part in po-
Htical life.
"To leave the men Of practical
politics alone in their efforts, even
II we do 80 with an amiable neu-
trality, and to say that we will
have no dealings with those men,
this il to abandon the cause Of
humanity"
There is no doubt as to the truth
of the point which Barbusse is
making. You can have a monarchy,
or some other sort of absolutism, in
which politics is confined to a small
class. But you cannot have democ-
racy unless there is a universal in
terest in politics.
Government is politics. A democ-
racy is self-government, that is, a
government of the people by them
selves. And where there is wide
spread ignorance and indifference
toward politics among the people,
there is certain to be formed those
little groups of grafters such as we
have today, so that while retaining
the form of democracy, we are really
betrayed into the hands of autoc.
racy.
1t is the peculiar duty of all think
ers to interest themselves in public

YUSSUF BEY DENIES TURKISH CHARGES
Says Armenians Are Not Being
 Prosecuted in Anatoia

Consta antinople. April 11.-Allega tions that Armenians in Anatolia are being persecuted by Turkish national l ists were denied in an interview givor by Yussuf Renal Bey. nationalist
 minister of foreign affairs. to a mum | Der of Armenian press representa- tives here before he left for Paris to attend the conference on the revision of the treaty of Sevres.
 "The situation of Armenians ir
 Anatolia is quite satisfactory" Yus. suf told his hearers. There have
 never been any deportations of Ar
 menians like those carried out by the
 unionists, when deportees were mas.
 sacred enroute. The Christian popu lation in the military zone was simply removed to the interior to prevent them from going over to the Greek army Now the deportees are all back in their homes wherever there is no further danger of an enemy in- vason.'
 Yussuf further said that there had been no boycott of Armenian prod ucts, in proof of which he pointed out that he was wearing a suit of clothes made by an Armenian tailor. He also denied that any property or lands belonging to Armenians had been divided among Turks or Kurds,
 He added that the Angora govern ment had just promulgated law " whereby Armenian officials would in future be appointed in localities in habited chiefly by Armenians.
 He concluded by saying that the ex- odus of Armenians from Cilicia was "unreasonable' and that the kemal- ist government would hold the pro- perty belonging to emigrants in trust for one year.
 Massacres by Turks in Pontus, Asia Minor, were reported in a telegram received by the Greek legation in Washington several weeks ago which stated that 300 Greeks of Sans sun were killed by Turkish authorities acting under the direction of Renal Pasha.
 A committee of the American Friends of the Prosecuted Christian Peoples of Asia Minor, presented to President Harding on March 23, reso- lutions protesting against the massa- ere of Christians in Armenia and other parts of the Turkish empire and asking the United States to use its influence to put an end to it,
 The Near East relief announced that some 12o,ooo Arrnenians who were in Cilicia evacuated that prov ince when they learned that the French troops were to be withdrawn and the country turned over to the Turks and have now crowded into other districts not under Turkish jur- isdiction.

ANCIENT WRECKAGE FOUND
Parts of Ship Believed To Have Been In the Dutch-Spanish War Of 1841, Discovered.

Discovered.
 London, April 11.--Remnants of a wreck believed to date back to a Dutch-spanish battle in 1641 have been brought to the surface by sal wage workers in Lerwick harbor.
 Four ancient cannon, each seven feet long with three-inch bore, have been salved and these have been sup plemented by massive oak timbers, which are in good state of preserva- ton.

The fact that there was less fever

In spite of protestations of Mrs. Halt

is confident that her husband never
was unfaithful, it has been disclosed
that the minister and his wife has
quarrelled over his attentions to Mrs.
