 Greek Bubble Bursts
 The bursting of the Greek bubble is the greatest blow British prestige has sustained. Curzon's efforts in Paris to overcome the fatal effect of the George manifesto met with some measure of success, but the practical effect of the developments has been to leave England alone to defend the Dardanelles pending the conference and alone confronting the Mohammedan opinion behind the Turk. At the moment of cabling it Is doubtful whether the Turk will push his advantage by force of arms or await developments through ne- gotiations. Much depends on France. I cannot suppose that she would wish a war which would make a breach of the Franco British relations and the gain from which would be prob lematical. Moreover the little en- tente dreads restoration of the Turk ish power on European soil.
 Meanwhile Greece is in chaos and he military element demands that

Englishman at the peace conference, who knew the Syrian situation as few men do. frequently spoke of Dr. Howard Bliss at "the root of all good in the near east.'f A Syrian, grad uate of Beirut college, who was urg- ing an American mandate over Syria, was asked what gave him his exag- gerated notion of the virtue of Americans. He said: T know that American business men, if the United States should take over the guidance of Syria, would want to make money out of us. But they would leave us our independence; and they would leave with us some of the money which they made in our land, in the form of hospitals and schools" Then with great earnestness he spoke of pr. Howard Bliss and his father, pay ing to them and their work a tribute such as few men have received and only really great men could deserve: T owe to my father and mother the fact of my birth. Everything else that I have and am in life, my pro- fessionaI training, by views of life. even my love of liberty, all this Y owe to Dr. Howard Bliss" The man who spoke was not a Christian. He was Mahommedan Arab.

Control of the Dardanelles Is vital question to Russia and any settlement Ignoring Russian inter ests would be repudiated. Freedom of the pardanelles Is vital to peace, but how Is 1t to be securedf It was suggested that 1t be handed over to the League of Nations, but the league does not Include Russia and, as the league has no armed force, 1t would have to hand 1t back again to a man. datory power.

 League in Session
 The crisis completely overshadowed the meeting of the League of Nations at Genoa where a sensation was caused by Lord Robert Cecil's sug- gestion that the league control and use air power as a means of enforc- ing its authority. The proposal goes to the foundation of the leagues po- sition and raises the fundamental is- sue of the employment of force. am quite sure Lord Robert is hon. estly convinced there is no future for an unarmed league. No other consid- eration would have brought so ar- dent a pacifist to this conclusion. The idea will create a great controversy within the league and may lead to serious rupture.
 If the Turkish crisis passes there is a strong impression that Lloyd George will seize the opportunity to go to the country in October. His position grows steadily worse and the longer the general election is de- layed the more danger of his defeat. The coalition government now is universally discredted and the tory party is anxious to cut George and revert strictly to party position. George is keen to make advances to his old friends on the liberal side and a strong view prevails that his disastrous appeal to the colonies against the Turk was intended to gain favor with the supporters of the old Gladstonian tradition. If that was the object the result is singu- 1arly unfavorable. The liberals are hostile to Turkish rule In Europe. but are equally hostile to the pre- mier's support of the Greeks in their ill-fated adventure which has now brought Europe to new disaster. The elections could hardly. be held under worse conditions for Lloyd Georges prospects,.

 The vogue of Carpentier Is un- paralieled in the history of the prize ring and his popularity in England is as great as in France.

 Delives In Politeness
 Major Stedman recognizes the thor oughbred quality of his opponent. and true to the chivalric traditions of the south he has never said a derogatory word concerning her.
 Southern men believe in always being polite and deferential to all women," he says.
 They are polite, yes. They love to go jousting for lady's favor in the realms of romance They lend their strong right arms for the ladies to lean upon. But will they give them support at the polls? They are traditionally willing to risk their lives for a lady's whim. But will they go smiling to their political deaths if that whim takes the form of yearning for political office? To all of this. Major Stedman answers:

 American interest in the near eas. was fortunately founded upon the idea of missionary Christian service. This type of American activity. though it runs back In Syria a full hundred years. has not been seriously vitiated by that self-interest which seems inevitably to accompany the struggle for marts of trade. Prob ably this is not due to any superior ity of American morality in inter- national affairs. America has it's own brand of imperialism, as our re : lations with the West Indies and the Central American states amply prove. A clever Austrian writer has named it for us-"the imperialism of the banana. It would be wise of us to think it over and to realize that the banana is useful fruit if properly handled. But it easily goes rotten.
