IN THE NEAR EAST.

Alum Karahksar, the point Of at
tack in the latest Turkish offensive
in Asia Minor, seems to have been a
vulnerable point in the long frame
work OF Greek communications. Rail
lines running east from Smyrna and
south from Brusa join at this noun
tain city OF the interior. The place had
It's value as a point of departure for
any Greek army aiming ~northward to-
ward Constantinople and Brusa or
eastward toward the Turkish National
ist headquarters at Angora. In Turk
iehe hands once more the place sup
plies a starting point for any Turkish
move westward toward the Greek
ba Sc, Smyrna. Losing the city. the
Greeks not only lose the means to ad-
vance, but may fnd the defense OF
what remains more difficult.
If 1t should urn out that the Turk
ish Nationalist had cut off n con
siderable part of the Greek army be
fore 1t could withdraw from north OF
the relinquished city, the reverse
might have effects far beyond Asia
Minor. No doubt those who planned
the attack hoped to lop off a portion
of the trailing line of Greek forces ex.
tending along the railroad between
the hills. A success OF that sort nigh
discourage Greek ambitions to tn,

MR.. BAYARD AS A CANDIDATE.

Because Mr.. Thomas f. Bayard,
Democratic candidate for United
States Senator, was o elected mayor
of Wilmington when he headed the
Democratic ticket at the municipal
election in June. 1921. some partisan
enemies pretend TO find comfort in
hat defeat. They intimate he will not
be able TO command the full vote Of
his party at this years election.
Undoubtedly a popular election is
a sound test of the popularity of a
candidate and his ability as a vote
getter. not only in commanding his
full party strength, but in drawing
votes from the opposition party. Even
a defeated candidate may show his
strength in his amer.
sAnd Mr.. Bayard did this when he
invited the test of a popular vote as
the Democratic candidate for mayor
at the municipal election last year
In the first place. he was opposed by
a citizen Of high standing, who had
the advantage of being a new conner
in the political arena and o in an!
manner involved in the Republican
party's factional quarrels. Thus h'

BILLION IN MISSING BONDS.

The Treasury Department tries
again to call the attention of those
whom Il should concern TO the an
claimed interest on liberty bonds,
which, increaAng az time passes py
a of tho failure Of the notices
to bring out any general response,
has now reached the large sum OF
e,ghty-three million dollars.
Various reasons are suggested for
the neglect of so many of those who
subscribed to the bonds to cash thep
coupons. One evidently accounts for
a c--siderable proportion Of the curl
Gus delinquency. The Treasury's state
ment is that more than seven anc
| one-half million separate pieces OF th'
issues originally made in a temporary
| form, having attached only enough cou
| pone to serve until permanent bonds
Icould be p~1nted and distributed, have
not been turned In In exchange for the
latter. Their denominations aggregate
more than a billion dollars.
There ie no way Of determining how
many perbons this billion OF unex
changed bonds - distributed among
but here is one DEFINITE portion OF tn
war loans interest on which the Treas
ury has not been able TO ind any
body 70 take. There are doubles
many bonds in the hands OF person
who came by them unlawfully. an
who naturally hesitate to present tn
coupons at the banks; and. of course
some number have been lost or de
etroyed. II is reasonable to believe
however, that most of the persons
whom the growing interest fund
due do not collect because OF ignor
ance about the procedure, or an indif
ference which would be hard to ea
plaan.-Providence Journal.

The Directors Of the Department of

Resistance Of arrest by a duly au-
thorized law officer is Of itself an Of
fence under our statutes, and It Is
most important TO the administration
of Justice that this law, 30 necessary
to public safety. be rigidly enforced.
Nor should our police and other
peace officers be required to submit
INTERESTINGLY to violence on the part
of those whom duty requires them to
arrest. True. a policeman is expected
TO exercise proper discretion in making
arrests. but he Is not required TO sub

MOTHER AND THE STYLES.
Copyright 1922 by Edgar A Guest.

Dresses high and dresses low,
Fashion bids them come and go;
Tresses bobbed and tresses long,
Fashion sways the moving throng;
What was new becomes the old.
Thus this changing life is told.
First we view it with a smile,
Then adopt the latest style
But with all the passing days.
Mothers never change their ways.
Gay, of heart and bright of face,
Fashion seems to rule the place.
With the swinging OF the clock
Youth gives age another shock,
Haunting into public view
Something Age would never do,
Laughing at us when we preach,
Scornful of us when we teach
But with all of fashions wiles,
Mothers never change their styles.
Motherhood's no fickle thing,
To be changed each fall and spring
AS il was so il remains,
Spite Of all its ares and pains.
JOY may call and pleasure lure
But a mothers love is pure,
And the baby sinks to rest.
Pillowed on her lovely breast,
Closing little drowsy eyes
To the softest ~lullabies.
Mothers worry night and day
When their children are away;
Mothers grieve when they are III,
Always have and always will.
They would shield you with their car
Every day and everywhere.
And they're happy through and through
At tile slightest smile from you
To the ending of their days
Mothers never change their ways.
