Allied Policy at Mudar,ia

's''sGreat Britain, France and Italy
have broken the deadlock at Mudania
by reafirming their Near East
agreement of September %, with
some slight notifications favorable
TO Turkey. They had decided on
September % to return eastern
Thrace to the Turks, up to the
Martha River and including Adri-
anople. This offer involved con-
siderable extension of Turkish ter
-kakory to the west, for last spring,
when the three Allied powers were
ttsying to end the Turco-Grecian
war without further bloodshed, they
suggested boundary line much fur
tier east, starting from Manos, on
the Sea of Marmora, and running
.-north-northeast to the Bulgarian
border.
..tnKemal's representatives at Mu-
aRnia accepted the terms of Sep
ststnber % "in principle" But they
had their hearts set on an immedi-
ATE occupation of Thrace by the
Notorious Turkish armies. The
ALLIED powers had laid down the
-eandition that Kemal's forces should
not cross into Europe pending
-sace conference. 1t was q wise
sefssbargo, which will not be lifted.
But in recognition Of Kemals
sssaxiety to protect former Turkish
ssnbjects in Thrace and to hasten
rhe restoration of Turkish sover-
eighty, Great Britain, France and
,Isaay- have now undertaken to Sc
Gute the immediate evacuation of
he Greek~forces in Thrace and the
Prompt readmission of Turkish civil
s,facials and gendarmerie into the
basovince.
.s.These concessions are ample and
remove the last excuse for Turkish
.stalling and bargaining. Kemal can
hasin by diplomacy practically all
~shc ends of Turkish Nationalist
policy. For thiS policy is concerned
chiefly with the restoration of Turk
ssh national life and the acknowledge

Oddments and Remdinders

Those old-fashioned persons who still.
regard pugilism as brutal should have
seen Mr.. Johnson, of the Golden Gate,
and Mr.. Martin, Of the A. E. F., in con-
fiict at Madison Square Garden the
other night. The meeting was particu-
larly messy one, as result Of Mr..
Martins fiuxing arteries, and it bore
all the traditional stigmata which have
caused prizefghting to be deemed, vul-
gar and inimical. Yet, on reflection, it
was neither.
Mr.. Martin, as he eddied here and
there upon the battle-ground, an aim

moralizing sight. Gorgeous in his
fresco Of wet reds, vermilions, Grim
sons, carbuncles, rubies and old roses,

We thought him as pretty thing as we
have seen since we looked, some years
ago, with admiration on the pre-
Raphaelite pictures Of "grilled, disem-

Bond, Of Chicago, said, he was as lovely
as horse stumbling from the arena. at
Seville with riven belly and hanging
entrails that cleaned like mother-o'-

Purgatorial Days

The Rev. DR.. w. s. Rainsford's
Story of a Varied Life" contains
letter from Theodore Roosevelt,
dated March 6, 1917, which recalls
most vividly the emotions of that
time of national floundering. Those
days seem long ago. We rose above
them suddenly. But why they were
so purgatorial to Americans of
deeper feeling is told with intimate
emphasis by DR.. Rainsford's dis
heartened correspondent.
The letter says in part:
Wilson prepares for war with
Germany essentially on the principle
of tho schoolboy who prepares for
trouble with his teacher by putting
geography in the seat of his
trousers.
II am glad you find a growth in
the national spirit. But it Is a very
slow growth. The hldeous wrong
that Wilson has done the American
spirit has been to drug it. to stultify
it. ] make no apology for our lam
entable spiritual falling off, which
has permitted them to do this. But
after all, good, simple, Woodworking
people, such as those who necessarily
compose the immense majority Of
our population, cannot be expected
to think out international questions
for themselves. They must have a
leader; and normally they will ac-
cept the President as that leader.
When by a multitude of adroit and
shifting speeches and gestures he
bewilders them until they do not
know what has really happened. it
is hard to blame them for following
his lead into what they are told is
safety"
The war and its sequels have
taken our eyes off the unhappy
period of 1915-'17--up to the dec
laration Of war against Germany,
1t is interesting to be reminded so
vividly Of the reactions Of that time.

Can Women Be Fans?

Life, liberty and the pursuit of
baseball are unquestionably the in
alienabie rights Of every American
citizen. This being granted, the
question arises as to the plight of
the new citizen, the recently enfran-
chised woman voter. Is nothing to
be done to welcome her into the fell
lowship Of fans?
1t was the following heartrending
plant which woke us from out our
indifference to this great human
problem:
Dear Mr.. Editor:
Cannot something be done to
make baseball comprehensive for
women? Now that we have the vote.
and buy our own newspapers and are
generally accepted as people, the
only thing lacking is our admission

"Men may not be born with an
understanding of baseball, but they
take to it with an instinct surer than
their appetite for food Il know
plenty of little boys who have to be
coaxed to eat, but I never knew one
who had to be bribed to play ball

Things that men seem to absorb

for women strangers at the game.

mental experiment in the world is
strong language, but it seems to us
TO deserve that description. In a
plain common sense sort Of way the
State of Kansas is here working
toward the solution of the eravest
problem that faces the modern state.
Much highfalutin nonsense has
been talked about the general strike
IN the name of liberalism" The
state must recognize the unions as
an equal, one of the pet theories has
held. We must try to federalize the
unions within the government upon
a basis Of divided sovereignty. In
any event, it is suicidal to interfere
with their complete liberty to
strike and do what they please to
make their strikes successful. When
union approaches strike breakers

Ice toward clarifying the public mind

Judge Wilkerson in effect held. 1t

The Kansas Industrial Court is a

More Truth Than Poetry

Equatorial ALTERATION

Equatorial ALTERATION
The coiling cobra creeps across
The dank and dismal deeps
Mid matted mounds of moulding
moss
The lusty leopard leaps.
The tiger trails his tawny tail
Beneath the bending boughs;
The dappled deer, in dell and
dale,
On brittle branches browse.
Now wildly walls the wallaroo,
AS dawns the dusky day,
And painting porcupines pursue
Their pressed and prowling
prey.
The wombat works his weary way
Up slick and Shiny slopes
Where panthers press their pant
Ing prey
The active antelopes.
The rustling rabbit runs around
The tall and tossing trees;
The buoyant badgers blithely
bound
AS blows the bal,ny breeze.
The horrid hippopotami
Resound their ringing roars,
While lolled at length the lions
lie
Beside the shelving shores.
The gaunt gorilla grimly gapes
On quails with quivering
qualms,
Where active and athletic apes
Are p a d ding through the
palms.
With grievous grunts and gut
teral groans
The grabbed crocodile
Fills all the air with morbid
rpOans
For many and many a mile.
