Frankfort, KY, Dec. 16. - The
Court of Appeals Friday affirmed the
decision of the lower court in the

stiuction of a turnpike from Mckee
to the Madison county line.
Judge Marning held the election to
be legal and the case was appealed
to the higher court, but the opinio /,
of the lower court was upheld.
The citizens of Jackson county

the State Road Department is in
sympathy with their efforts and has
pledged to construct road fror,

BEREA DRUG co. ROBBED
Beres College.

Last Saturday morning when Mr..
Wylie, pharmacist for the Berea
Drug Co., went to work he discovered
that a number Of articles, including
some boxes of candy. a kodak, some
jcwelry and pens, were missing from
the show windows. A more complete
check on the missing goods revealed
that at least s237.O0 worth of mer-
chandise had been taken from the
store on Friday night. However. no
signs could be found Of the place
where the robbers had entered.
The matter was placed in the hands
of the city officials and an investiga-
tion followed, which proved that John
Vaughn, operator Of Model Press
Shop, had sold goods in Richmond ex.
actly like some Of the missing a-ti-
clcs. Vaughn was arrested on sus-
picion, and the evidence showed ths.
hc gave a number Of conflicting an
swers to questions as to where h,
came into possession Of the articles.
In one Of his statements he impilcat-
ed Roscoe Harrison, who works at
Whicker's Garage, but later the
charges against Harrison were filed
away because Of insufficient evidence.
Vaughn was brought before Judge
Watkins Wednesday afternoon for
preliminary trial and was bound over

1t is believed that a settlement
with Turkey is near at hand. Eng
lard ia interested in the territory in
Asia Minor which contains oil re-
sources. The U. S. also insists that
no arrangement between the two can
be made that excludes the u. S. right
to the use of the oil supply. Turkey
has not shown much disposition thus
far to show tolerance TO foreign pop
ulation. An agreement was reached
that Christian populations might re-
main in Constantinople on certain
conditions. Among other things, the
head or Patriarch of the Greek church
must leave. Since Constant inople has
been the seat Of the Greek Catholic
church since early times, this is con-
sidered an especial hardship. 1t does
not seem likely that any section is
to be set apart as a home for the
Armenians, and their future is not
bright. Nor will Turkey as yet give
up her claim to try all foreigners in
her own courts, thus doing away
with the capitulations, or agree
ments, made with the U. S. years
ago. Constantinople will not be re-
garded by the Turks as their capital
city, but rather Angora, a city some
800 miles to the east in Asia Minor
will be developed as capital for the
future.

Reports continue to be circulated
that a change is coming about in
Americas attitude toward the Euro
pean situation. Ambassador Harvey
is to return to the U. s. for confer
ence, as is thought, on the financial
The continuous fall in the
value of the German mark has been
the center of attention. Germany
wishes a large loan, and it can be
secured in no place but the u. s.
Our government has not authorized
any such loan as yet and John
Pierpont Morgan, who has Just re-
turned from Europe, says none has
been arranged for. The reports,
however, persist and President Hard
ing is quoted as saying that Europe
needs Americas aid. The supply Of
gold in the U. S. is greater than ever
before in our history, and we could
make a loan that would in no sense
obligate us to cancel any debt. Il
has been Americas belief that Europe
must work it out herself, but that
may truly be impossible. II Amer
lea makes loan, it will be on con-
ditions that are helpful to the world.

At the international conference of
jurists, now meeting OF the Peace Pal
acc in the Hague, our own rep
resentative, John Bassett Moore,
was selected as chairman. The OBJ
ject of this conference is to take up
the rules regulating war and revise
them so that they will conform to
changed conditions. These interna
tional lawyers are aware Of the fact
that the rules of war were badly
broken or disregarded entirely in the
recent war. and yet they are going
at their task with considerable Of
hope and confidence, believing that
in some way international Law is to
have a better standing in the future
than in the past. The u. s. is COM
mitted to the policy of regard for
law in international relations and
has always used her influence in that
direction. Her policy of isolation,
however, prevents that cooperation
with the nations of the world which
alone can give an effective enforce
ment Of law.
