UNITED BALKAN
PEACE Farley
MOVE STARTED

London, Sept. 1.-THE impression
is growing here that a Turkish peace
can only be arranged in a. large inter-
national conference in which Russia,
Rumania. Bulgaria and the other Bal
kan states participate.
This impression is based in part
upon the renewed expression of Rus
sia's attitude regarding the straits of
the Dardanelles, as contained in her
note of protest against the allied ac-
ton of Constantinople, sent recently
to Great Britain, in which she da-
mands the question be settled pri-
marty by the powers that use the
Black Sea as an outlet to the ocean.
Fear Constantinople Attack.
Fear of an attack on Constantin ople
by the Turkish naionalists before the
Allies can reach an agreement has
brought to the front the question of
the whereabouts of the main Kema1-
list army, which apparntly never en-
tered Smyrna. This army may be on
its way to the straits by secret forced
marches.

al statement as to the omission of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford R.
R. from the strike settlement an
nounced from Chicago last night was
available at the offices of the COM
Gany this m orning, other than what
ever President e. G.. auckland had
said last nfA hit. Mr.. auckland said
that the New Haven road had had no
part in the negotiations OF B. M. Jew
ell for the striking shopmen with the
executives, because a month ago it en-
tered into an agreement with en-
ployes who took the places of 4trik-
ers to protect their interests. Mr..
auckland added that the company
found occasion to enter into any
other agreement and it had not done
so.
President Pearson was absent to-
day and it was not known whether
or rot the company would again de-
fine its attitude towards the shipments
settlement with certain other roads.
Injunction Fight Continues.
Chicago, Sept. 14.-Despite the
partial settlement of the railway
shipments strike, the injunction
fight on Attorney General Daugherty's
application for a preliminary res
training order against rail strikers
was continued today.
Peace settlements would not alter
finish it's case, spokesman for the
attorney general said.
The government attorneys con-
tinued presentation of evidence in
support of their charges that a wide
spread conspiracy of violence and
intimidation existed in connection
with the shopmens strike.

At time when the air IS heavy ana
cloudy with theories, offered for the
most part with commendable zeal 10
reform the world and dsintect existence
one hes!tatcs TO Oifcrc another for con-
sidcra,ion. But my intentions arc harm
less.
Ny theory offers an explanation. not
: remedy. And II concerns the decline
and fall Of the art Of conversation and
the consequent rise and development OF
the art Of pctting.
1t Is conceded by nearly all persons
above the age OF 80 that young people
of this generation do more hugging and
kissing and miscellaneous pettinG than
the young people Of any earlier genera
ton. and the belief is widespread that
our young people are wicked ana lull
OF tn" devil.
My theory is that this apparent wicF-
edncSS Is Ucca stoned by 4 mental laZi-
ness that reduces conversation to mean
inglcSs slang phrases and in time robs
youngsters Of the ability tn talk with
sufficient intelligence and vivacity 20
entertain a companion.
When Il boys dull wits leave him
tonguc-tied. he can lessen the awkwar'!-
ness of silence by lighting another ~
gazette; but when he has become weary
Of smoking and still is dumb. what can
he do save pet a while? And WHY
should a girl wear out her poor mind
trying to think of something I" say
when il is 80 much less effort To offer
herself to be pcttcd? 1t isn't wicked
ness that afh!cts the youngsters. 1T -
