MraceS Reign of Terror
(From the Washington Post.)

The situation in eastern Thrace is
already beginning TO take on the pro-
portions OF a catastrophe. The news
OF the forthcoming arrival of several
thousands of Mustapha KemaTs gen
darmes has spread terror and panic
among the hundreds of thousands
Of Christians inhabiting the prov
inoe. The latter are firmly con-
WINGED that as soon ms the Turks
arrive the era OF massacre among
the Christian population will be-
gin.
These fears have been increased
by the irrupion into eastern Thrace
OF bands Of organized "kom-
itadjis' and armed Turkish irregu-
lars who are attacking and muir
dering tho endless columns of fugi-
tives that block all the roads. Thous-

however he had been OF Sing Sing prison and
OF the Westchester county prison near New York City

American authorities on advanced penaogy and what
he says tomorrow evening should be listened TO with
earnest attention by those who assemble the hotel TO
hear him.
The purposes for which the Prisoner Aid Society OF
Delaware organized to promote are two as follows
l. To secure the adoption OF such laws and prison
methods as viii help the prsoner'to become useful
citizen; and
q To aid discharged prisoners in thea efforts to be-
come useful members of the community.
Those are praiseworthy objects which should appeal
profoundly to Delaware sentiment

Peril Of the Dragging Skirt
(From the New York Herald }

It is to be hoped in the cause Of
common sense and hygiene that the
1900 delegates and alternates of tn,
Federation OF Women's Clubs will
next Friday vote affirmatively on the
resolution accepted by It's co-opera-
tive committee not 10 approve any
style which brings women's skirts
nearer 70 the ground than seven
inches.
The bad repute OF the trailing
skirt Is so we'll established that Il
seems incredible its restoration 70
favor should be possibility OF the
new modes. Styles are sometimes
battling. Summer furs may not be
easy TO understand. Low neck waists
in zero weather and slippers as per-
manent footgear may require some
explanation. Yet they have none Of
the bad effects on health OF the
threatened street sweeping skirts.
1t may be true, moreover. that for
every change In fashion there is a
reason deeply rooted in expediency

INCoRRIGIBIr PACIrIsTs

From the New York Tribune.
There is little to choose between
the pacifists who. with Governor
Baxter of Maine, deplore the move
ment to keep our navy up TO the
strength allotted to It in the 5-5-3
treaty and those who welcome cut
ting down our army until It is no
longer efficient. They are in the
same class as former Secretary Of
War Baker, who, in an official bull
( etin of his department shortly after
we had declared war against Ger
many, stated that he delighted in
the fact that when we entered the
war we were not. like our adversary,
ready for It.
These pacifists either deliberately
refuse TO recognize or else are I'M
able 10 understand that the pleas Of
Secretary Weeks and of the advo-
Gates of Navy Day are merely TO
make efficient use of the establish
ments for national defense. Under
the 5-5-3 treaty our navy should
be equal to that of Great Britain and
five-thirds that of Japan in every es-
which is at present reduced much
below this proportion. Under the
national defense act our army should
form the nucleus for the develop
ment OF an effective fighting ma
chine. Thanks to the niggardly al
lowances OF Congress, the army per-
sonnet alone has been reduced TO
such an extent that it IS practically
impossible TO carry out the provi-
sions of the defense policy.
There Is no thought and no inten-
ton Of exceeding the letter or the
spirit of the naval limitation treaties
or OF the national defense act. But
common sense warns. against pol
Icy OF deliberately. allowing the
country's defensea to, fall far below
these accepted limits.

Our Society of Nations
(From the New York Trlbune)

The calling OF a Central Ameri-
can conference in Washington illus
trates the sort Of international CO.
operation which President Harding
and Secretary Hughes have at pres
ent most in mind. The five repub-
lies are invited to revive those provi-
sions OF the semi-federative treaties
OF l907--also signed In Washington
which experience has shown 10
be of value in maintaining peace
and helpful relations among them.
Disarmament and plans for arbi-
trating international disputes are
included In the conference agenda.
Here is a practical venture In in
ternational association. All the
powers concerned belong TO one
family--a family recognized as such
FOR a century. II came into exist
ence with the spanish-American
revolutions and the PRONUNCIATION o.
the Monroe Doctrine. 1t practical
ly covers the Western World-a
world on which some of the Euro
pean statesmen most Interested in
the League of Nations now want 10
confer a kind Of regional autonomy
within the larger circle.
In this American group the infiu-
enoe Of tho United States has al
ways been controlling and will
continue TO be so. There is no seri-
GUS desire anywhere 10 abate II or
SNUFF II out. II there are American
disputes TO be settled the best place
to settle them is not at Geneva, but
on this side of the Atlantic. The
republics here are old friends. They
feel at home with one another. They
have co-operated for years In the
Pan-American Union and have regu-
lated their political and commercial
relations in a series OF Pan-Ameri-
can agreements.
Evening journal., 1922-10-26

The fact that most of the Latin
American republics are in the
League of Nations while the United
States is out of 1t has not initiated
against Pan-American solidarity.
Chile and Peru did not take the
Tecna-Arioa dispute TO the league.
They negotiated a settlement at
Washington with the friendly aid
OF the United States. Secretary
Hughes successfully ended the long
standing Panama-Costa Rica bound
airy controversy. Now the Central
American states, at our invitation,
are to consider a return TO the COM
pacts OF 1907. which oonfederated
brought them into an international
group jurisdiction by creating a
Central American Supreme Court,
with a seat a Carriage.
This court had only a brief ex-
istence. The Central American
states have frequently united and
then separated. They have old fam
lily attachments and indulge in
brusque family quarrels. But a
spirit OF approachment is now in
the air and the State Department
has done the neighborly thing in
urging the fivs republics TO renew
old ties.
In taking this step we are only
doing what we would do were we in
a society OF nations operated on the
regional basis suggested by Lord
Robert Cecil. Toward such COM
nonsense groupings Of nations this
country has never expressed antag-
onism. 1t is the conception of a
world league, implying fixed obliga-
lions OF mutual defense, and at
tempting 10 assemble in one body

and little basis for mutual under

There may have been occasional
grotesqueness in these extremes OF
woman's dress. Yet no harm came
OF them. Open necks have, in the
opinion Of physicians, served 10

skirts may have imperiled repute
for shapellness. but silk stockings
mitigated this danger. So in no case
was there any permanently harmful
result from these vagaries. Ther.

No pollution that may befoul the
sidewalk is free from the sweep OF
these dragging garments. Whatever
evil may lie on the unclean pave
ment can scarcely fail to have its
field OF malignancy increased by the
train OF the long skirt. It is for that
reason the rules of health and the
simplest precautions against the dan
