London, Nov. 9ths-This morning news
papers failed to receive their usual quo
tations of news from Constantinople to-
day because of the cutting of the Eastern
TELEGRAPH Companys Cable on the K ma
list side of the Chanak Zone by the lrks
and their refusal to permit the Con any
to repair it. So far as was known here
this morning, no hostile act has yet been
taken at Constantinople, either by the
Allies or the Kemalist3. But the situa-
ton is known to be extremely tense, and
the insistence of the Nationals in their
demands for the Allied evacuation, have
made it increasingly critical.

former. Prime Minister'S own followers
are taking a sinister pleasure in de claring
that the present outburst by the Turk is
due solely to the belief that he can bluff
Mr.. Bonar' Law, where he could not
bluff Mr.. Lloyd George. Lord CurzCn
incidentally revealed that the entire
statement Of policy" of September 18th,
was not a Cabinet document, but issued
on the responsibility OF two or three
Ministers. Although the Lloyd Georgeans
cannot say so publicly, in view OF the
possible weakening CT theI British hand
they have held all along that the mani
festo was not meant seriously as a call to
war, but purely for Turkish cars Strage-
tically and automatically the problem
is easier for Mr.. Bonar Law. The one
difficulty that remains is Chanak. But,
while Mr.. Lloyd George had to hold
Chanak for the sake of British prestige,
it is expected, that if hostilities break
out. the British forces will be withdrawn
across the Bosphorus and the Darda-
nelles with those of the. other nations, in
accordance with the policy outlined by
Lord Curzon today of acting in concert
with France and Italy, and the European
shore held behind the shelter OF the
fleets. The result of such action would
be an indefinite poStp0nement of the
Lusanne conference and a consequent
delay in admitting the. Turks to Thrace.

TRUCK REGULATION.

a biz has been introduced IN the
New York legislature providing for
ffe limitation Of weight, dinen-
sions and Iloading and driving OF
motor trucks within the boun-
daries of the state. 1t is type OF
legislation for which there is the
greatest need, and which should be
unified SO that each state auto
maticallys protects the others in
protecting itself.
Under the proposed bill the
width of the body, load included,
must not be in excess of eight
feet; height from pavement to
top of, vehicle or load not more
than IL feet inches. When the
truck has "a trailer, the combined
weight must not be in excess OF IA
tons. The. .axles Of the trucks must
: not be closer 61an s 1eet, ana the
weight SO adjusted that there will
be not more than $500 pounds
pressure On each wheel, nor must
there be more than 500 pounds
pressure to the inch on the tires,
Fines and provisions for immediate
unloading in case of violation OF
the terms of the law are included
In the measure.
AS the sponsor of the bill points
out, unless these dreaGnoughts Of
commerce are controlled, the state
roads viii not be safe for the mo-
!. terists nor the bills for construc-
ton; and maintenance withip the
means Of the state
New York's problem is a COM
mon problem which should be set
tied promptly.

LESS JAZZ, MORE STUDY.

Finding that unsuitable modes Of
dress, too much jazz dancing and
cigaret smoking still obtain among
Chicago school pupils, the board of
education has set its taboo upon all
these things in SO far as it can con-
troll the actions of the students.
This of course includes school
hours or school festivities only. To
cover the rest Of the time an ap-
peal has been made for parental
cola boration.
''No effort on our part can coun-
teract these evils" said the super
intsndcnt Of schools, unless the
parents realize the danger and help
us 20 maintain standards" The
suggestion is not exactly new, but
there seems to be new reasons for
it about every SO often as bad hab-
its gain among school children here
and there.
AS alternative occupations to- be
substituted for too much shimmy
and too much moving pictures, the
school authorities have the temer-
ity to suggest plenty of home study
and early bed time at least five
times a week. Such amusements
as are permitted are to be of a
simpler and more housekeeping
sort.
1t is very old fashioned pro-
gram; but the parents, in Chicago
Or anywhere, who collaborate with
the educational authorities in car
rying it out, will probably be
pleased with the results.

THE VACUUM AIRSHIP.

If the plans Of an Italian inven-
tor prove practical, vacuum air.
ships with a speed Of 215 miles
an hour. and crossing from London
to New York in eighteen hours
viii soon be in use.
One of these heavier-than-air
craft is now under construction in
Italy. 1t is to be made buoyant by
means of vacuum instead Of in
flammable~g gas. The experiment is
being watched eagerly because it is
principle upon which inventors
have been working for hundreds
of years. Heretofore no success
has been reached because, before a
lifting vacuum could be attained,
the pressure of the outside air has
crushed in the framework Of the
tank. The present inventor, Sig
nor ,augean, proposes to overcome
this difficulty by building his air
ship in three sections, one inside
the other. The space between the
outer wall and the next will be
only partly exhausted of it's air.
In the next space still more air will
be withdrawn, and the interior
compartment is to be pumped as
completely free Of air as possible.
It is said that the air pressure can
thus be distributed so as not to eX-
ceed five pounds to the square inch
at any place, and that is we'll with
in the safety line.
The mechanics are said by aero
naut1c experts to be sound, but
there is a general tendency to
await the demonstration Of the ship
in action. If it is successful, new
page has been started in aeronau-
tic history.
