London, Sept l7.--tlaying aehicy-
ed the diplomatic victory oi uniting
Europe against further Turkish ma
tionalist expansion. Lloyd George re-
turned TO the country TO resume his
vacation. He has no decided whether
he will 10 down 10 Geneva His de-
eision will depend partly on develop
ments in the near east, and partly on
the report 81 Sir Edward Gregg, his
confidential secretary, who is return
ing IRON that city, after consulting
with Lord Baiour
ii is known that the premier is not
dtsirous OF going 10 Geneva unless
The British delegates there express
real wish for his presence and in
dicate that II will be useful.
The chances OF hig going, how
ever, are greater than they were be-
fore. since the restoration Of unity
between Great Britain and France
was accomplished. When il was first
suggested that he go, It Is said ne
felt that il lie went Poineare would
be constrained 10 go too, and there
would be another conflict Of policy,
exhibiting rift between the allies.
Danger IS Passed.
British politicians regard the res
tciation OF unity OF policy between
Great Britain, France, Italy and the
little entente as a real triumph OF
British diplomacy and they now be-
lieve that the danger ot a political
conilagration in the neal east has
passed.
kcmal Pasla, it is believed, was
relying on differences between the
allies to allow him free hand. 1t
is no secret that Britain felt that
ii France deserted her, she did not
feel justified in resisting the Turks
by force single-handed
1t is now believed. however, that
kcmal is too shewd a man TO risk
the united forces OF Europe
and will moderate his demands cou-
sid,rably when pourparlers gan.

Always there are new sensations
that keep the old spirit keyed up to
the highest possible pitch. The latest
sensation is Irene Castle, the same
Irene who was the hit of New York a
few seasons ago. Not an instant older
and if possible, brighter, and more
vivacious than ever, Mrs. Castle is the
beacon that nightly attracts hundreds
of pleasure seekers to the new Knick-

Broadway.
Mrs. Castles act at the Knicker-

were larger than ever before. During
December the demand for tables in
creased. and indications now are that
Mrs. Castle will remain at the Knick
