rHRAcIAN PROHIBITION,

Now that it has been decided that the Turks are to occupy eastern Thrace interest Is going to be attached to that occupation for reasons other than the treatment that will be accorded to the Greeks and other nationals located there. The return of the Turks will mean the return of Mohammedanisrn, o. which prohibition is one of the re- quirenents. and word comes from the near east to the effect that the Turks under Mustapha Renal will insist upon Thrace becoming as dry as Sahara. That will mean a radical change. It will be a reform which can be expect ed to encounter some difficulties from those who are not Turks. If the Turks are true to their religion it is to be SUD- posed that they will take to prohibition as duck would to water, but when t comes to enforcing it among others it will be case where little attention fs likely to be given to any complaints that personal lEberty is being denied.
 When 1t comes to law enforcement, or the enforcement os such require- ments aS the Turk puts forth. it is well understood that he leans to severity ra- ther than to leniency Thus when it is declared that punishment for violation Of prohibition will be 4s lashes. three months Imprisonment or fine of from 50 to 300 Turkish pounds the purpose isn't to encourage violations.
 It is ts be hoped that such enforce mest as the Turks will insist upon viii not be the leOphoie through which many other mtU3eeds will be committed And yet whatever the state of wetness in eastern Thr@ee in the past few years it seems probable that t Is destined to un- dergo a radical change, and a change that will be watched from many qua-- ters. even thoDgh the fact that the Turks are prohihithonists ooesn't neees- sariiy make the friends of prohibition any happier Go think they are stand ins shouidsE to shoulder with such people in . common eAnse.

BAD SITUATION. WE'LL HANDLED.
 or Watch Hill more than one large vessel has experienced serious dificul- ties, and all were not as fortunate in dealing with them as was Captain Co5b of the Colonial liner Concord. who in the early morning of Thursday was obliged ir the interest of safety to transfer his passengers to another ship because of a serious fire raging in his own.
 As the situation turned out the fire might have been controlled without the remoYsi of the passengers. That how ever. could not be foretold. Protection of his human cargo was the first thought of the captain and he acted with the wisdom that such aR official is supposed to diEnlay even on se exciting an occasion. It was far preferable te make needless preparations and obtain safety than that there should be chances taken and 9 dsplrable less os life result.
 And it was at that time that the ra' dio was once more brought into most valuable use. Signals might have beer answered in time but with the radis Il was possible to speak with those in 2 1 position to give ah, to tell what th4 trouble was and to get an immediate and gratifying response, It wss aIst possible to know that those whe could help had been reached and were re 1 spending.
 The excellent combination of cool headednsss in directing both the sststs efferts and the fire fighting work ane the valuable wireless was clearly dis closed. It was had situation exeep tionally we'll handled

SPEED RECORDS.

Regardless of the line in which de- yslcCnent takes place speed is always enc ot the goals. There may be rec usnized limit but efforts are constantly being made to exceed It. The desire 10 run faster than the other fellow, to pos sos5 horse that can outdstance any other. to ride a bicycle. drive car or sgide motoFboat st faster clip than othsrs have done is an ambition that not only exists but which Is frequently -ea lzed. Regardless of what the cost nay be in preparation or penalty sp'ed has a fascination that isn't to be denied
 Speed is slso spur 10 greater effort. The horse that used to go at 2.tJ clip 's something of plug these days The auto that cannot pass anything on ;ne road isn't worth riding in for some, and Of course the flying machine that can not outdo any competitor fails to get the rating that is desired in these days 0f airplaRe development.
 We are still passing through the ir- fancy of aviation. Yet wonderrul strides have been made since the Wright brothers proved that a heavier liidh ar machlne could be driven through the air. And though the fly ing machine has been quickly brought 10 its present development new efforts st speed records are constantly succeed. ing. With an official record of flying almost four miles a minute the air Elane has obtained new honors due tC the improvements which are constantly being made in the machinery and tn, type of flying craft.
 Such attainments cause one to paust and wonder where any reasonable linn it can be placed in regard to the speet ths. such powerful machines can make and likewise in view of the great sac riices which have been made by thos who have given their lives in bringin, the flying machine to it's present devel opment the wonder is just how mucl longer the list will be because of tn efforts which are certain to be made t establish new speed records.
 The flying machine is annihilatin distance more successfully than an other medium at the present time.

FAMOUS MUSICIANS

It was Harry Purcell, handsome and talented, whose auiekstep and it's ac- eompahyiAg words, aimed at Papists and Irish in particular, had a lively part in preeipitatiRg the FegelutioH of 16ss Practically all of the British Army sang the song and the ehfeni- clers of the time appraised it in this
 wise: Meyer in the world has a thing so slight had such vast inflp- ence."
 Such was a high light in the career 1 of one of the most notable of the
 English musicians. Born at Vest l minister in 1858, and himself of Irish 1 percentage, he was placed by his father as a choristef in the Royal 1 Chapel where the father held place,
 as well as being a singer in Westmin- ster Abbey.
 l The Puritans had killed music in 1 the realm. Musical instruments in
 churches were regarded as profane and the Cromwell troops had sold the pipes of the last organ in the abbey l to buy ale. The Restitution changed all of this. The old form and cere-
 naony of the Church returned and ! with it music, and with the music
 came Purcell,
 Like his companions in the Hall of
 Musical Fame over the water, his
 start was early. At g he had com
 posed three-part song and at il he wrote the verses for the address tc
 the King and Queen on the anniyer-
 sary in 1870 of the Kings birth. |

FIGHTING CARELESSNESs.

Speaking upon the importance of safety and the important paTt which care pays in securing it, one speaker impressed upon d New York audience that the safety first movement was get ting a grip on the people and gave as his reason for that belief the fact that were 70 persons killed in that city, while during the corresponding period this year there were but g. This is certainly q commendable change and ii is fair and reasonable conclusion to | draw when i: IS attriEavted to the efforts in behalf of greater safety,
 l Anyone who stops to think fully re- alizes that care would have prevented many of the accidents in which they have been involved, and it is possible to see where it would have done as much for others. Careiessness is tht primary cause of accidents and for that reason more than 75 per cent of then can be avoided. That being recognized 1t ought not to require much persona persuasion to bring ahout an inereas, of that important factor.
 It is folly to look upon the fight tha is being made against eAreiessness as fad. Certainly there is something nor at stake when we stop to consider tn appalling list of accidents and fatalitie and when we stop to consider that in vestisations show that thFee-quarters 0 them could be prevented It is 8 mat ter which not only deserves nor thought than it gets but it is entitie. to get greater consideration at al times. Carelessness is a bad naaste and the farther we can keep from 1t tn better for all concerned. Its hold ca be broken but it calls for constant et fort.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE

Viscount Halifax, who once more is urging a reunion of the Roman Cath olic Church with the Established Church of England, has devoted the greater part of his long life to the furtherance of the movement, which by the great majority in England is regarded as wholly illogical and inn possible. Lord Halifax is now S3 years old, and succeeded his father in 1885. On his mothers side he is a grandson of the great statesman. Earl Grey. while his father received his peefage for his services in important cabinet posts in the British Govern ment. For fifty years the present

 and when Dryden was about to be put in jail for debt he fled to PuFeells quarters in the clock tower of St. James place for refuge. And Purcell not only pro- tected his friend, but he wrote the music for several of his plays, of which 'The Indian Queen was one.
 In the long list of his attaiRments for 50 dramatic compositions and some larger works that hold high place, his "Te Deurn'' and "Jubilate" in 1894 were the first works of the kind ever attempted in England Great as they were, they did not bring him the same popular reputation as that resulting from the odes and marches. He seemed to have been a sort of early-day com bination of Sousa and George M. Conan.
 ] Following his death in 1895 many clubs were named for him one of the most notable being the famous London l organization.

LLOYD GEORGES REsIGNArEoN,

LLOYD GEORGES RESIGNATION,
 Just what he was credited with say- ing he would do, If the Chamberlain plan for reaching an understanding be- tween two Of the factions Of the British coalition government failed, has been done by Premier Lloyd George. Right on the heels of the announcement of the refusal to stand by the coalition by the uniopists came the resignation of the premier and the cabinet
 This of course means . change in the government and an end of the coalition after a period of service that has been fila with big problems and responslhil- tiles. Lleyd George has weatAsred many storms but the opposition had grown to the point where he was no; long able to check it, The showdown was sufficient and the resignation came as was to be expected.
 The coalition government, the result of a recognition of the fact that the war problems called for the parties standing together for the welfare of the empire quite the same as 1t was nec' essaTy for the allied armies to come under one head, has wrestled with big and EeFplexing domestic and foreigs problems. With the war over 1t was 2 question how long it could be held to- gether. There have been defectioni that have been getting in their work ana regardless of the excellent services thal Lloyd George has rendered in behalf O his country. The handwriting on thu wall was seen in the meeting whicl Austen chamhsrlain vas uAable to vii to his side. There was no longer an, need for delay and cabinet construction and election activities will from now ol feature British efforts.
 Lloyd Georges term cannot close however, without proper recognition be ing given for the magnificent name in which he haS guided the governmen in many crises.
