KENIALiS NEW MOVE

Kemal's new move was to be ex- pected. It was not to be so surely ex- pected at the time the agreement was made at the Mudania conference, for Lloyd George has not resigned then and Lloyd George was putting Up a fairly courageous front against Renal after he had waited quite little while to do it. But Lloyd George did ''aid the Greeks" as they express it vaguely in conversation in England. Renal saw that he would have to put something on paper that would cali of Lloyd George.
 Since that time however Bonar Law has come into power. Bonar Law has been emphasizing the importance of harmony between England, France and Italy. We'll, France held a pretty strong feeling in favor of the Turks. It was quite simple for Renal to figure that if England's new premier was 50 anxious to keep in sym mpathy

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

Of course the fact that there were over 10000 deaths from automobile accidents in 1921 is appallins It is not surprising that the number of deaths increased greatly for the period between 1917 and 1921. In 27 states where figures for 1917 are available there were 6,0l4 deaths in that year, and s,492 deaths in the same states in 1921, which Is an increase of 41.2 per cent.
 For comparison as to the situation in Connecticut and Massachusetts, the two states of New England where the figures were greatest and where the travel Is greatest, 1t Is illuminating to note that the increase in Massachu- sets was the difference between 3S7 deaths in 1917 and 62S in 1921, while in this state the increase was the diff ference between 1s2, jn 1917 and 22o in 1921. These figures show that not withstanding the greater number of automobiles operated in this state in 1921, thedeath increase from accidents was not nearly as large in proportion as the increase in that state of Massa- chusetts. This, of course. argues well for the observance of regulations in this state as well as for the wisdom of the regulations made
 But the increasing number of auto mobiles in use should furnish no ex- cuse for an increasing number of deaths. As the automotive industry ad- vances so should advance the skill and understanding of those who drive cars for business or pleasure. A greater appreciation of their dangers should be developed and people should be educated to use them with greater consideration for the safety and rights of others. As a boy grows older there should comes less danger from a deadly weapon placed in his hands, even though the first small rife is re- placed by real one, far more deadly. The public is the small boy still. When he grows up he will learn to kill no one accidentally with his rife.

with France. he, Bonar Law, would not be as strongly antagonistie to the Turks and especially 10 kemal hs Lloyd George had been. Lloyd Georges stand which. 1t is thought in England brought that country close to another war did more than anything else to weaken Lloyd Georges power kemal could not see Bonar Law taking any such chances.so, of course. 1t was anite the psychological moment for kemal to demand that the allies get out or constantinople--wh he immediate ly did. Bonar Law would hesitate about going contrary to his own cx- pressed desire for harmony with France. and France would hardly raise strenuous objection to doing be- fore the coming peace conference what the allies plan to do after it, namely to leave constantinople So Renal decided to try to bring about the situation he wanted to bring about even when h.s representative signed the Mudania agreement--have Con- stantinople in his hands before the peace conference.
 An American, thinking about the unprotected minorities" in the Near East, wonders if the brave English men who, under. Lloyd George finally took first stand against Kemal and his Turks, are glad they got rid of the former Premier? An American may hazard the opinion that Lloyd George will not lose any prestige with those in this country or with those in England who believe the people of the Near East should not become victims again of the Turk. if Kemal's reliance on Bonar Laws hesitancy to take a firm stand against the leader of the Turks brings a further crisis in that situation.

THE FOREIGN DEBTS

The popular cry now is to insist that all foreign nations pay this country all that they owe us. It is popular, even, to insist that they should be made to pay now, immediately. It is quite na- turaI that we, as people, should be- lieve that this is the correct stand. The debts are perfectly legal; their payment could be legally enforced. An attachment might issue were the case one for local courts. Moreover such men as Secretary of Commerce Hoover have taken the stand that these debts should be paid.
 On the other hand there is no cues ton but the bankers of the country, convention assembled recently ques- toned the wisdom of enforcing pay ment of all these debts. The question has been raised as to whether the money can be collected and whether a futile attempt would not be harmful to this country. Even more than this. a question was raised as to whether z 1t would be wise to cripple our foreign markets by enforcing payment even if the money could be raised, the debts paid.
 This question is one that is apt to bring flush to the face of the 100 percent American" He is apt to cry out against any suggestion that these debts remain even partially unpaid. The matter Is here commented upon merely for the purpose of showing that there are two sides to the ques- ton. People should study it, And peo-. pie should ask themselves how foreign nations are to pay us in goods when the high rates of tariff are calculated to keep foreign goods out of the United States and to protect our own goods?

A WOsIAN's PROMISE

Out in Ohio man has been given verdict for s1.50O damages alleged to have been sustained by him because woman broke her promise to marry him. The item is given prominence because the boot is on the other foot" just the same as an item would be considered news which told of a mans kicking mule to death it is usually the mule which does the kicking So it is usually the woman who is damaged by the mans breach of promise,s and it is rare for a man to get damages because a wom- an goes back on her word.
 The foundation for damages sus- tained by women when a man who has promised to marry her refuses to do so, is the assumption that the mans promise of marriage carries with it a promise to support the wom- an. The law compels him to do SO. Thus actual pecuniary damages may be figured. If, then,fa man may re- cover damages from woman who has promised to marry him and re- nigs, where is the basis for pecuniary damages? Does the woman's promise assume promise by her that she will help in his support? Does a refusal by her to carry out her bargain throw an added financial burden upon him {? It would seem that, If the law Is to hold man may recover damages from woman for breach of promise to marry, laws should be passed plac- ing upon the women the duty of help ing support the man.
 Quite possibly the woman may be rich. Her marriage to the man, in most states, gives the man the person. al property belonging to her which he reduces to possession" It is conceiva- ble, therefore. that financial loss by him might be shown. But lacking such a situation 1t would seem that under present laws. there is no practi- cal basis upon which may. be pre-

KILLINGS ARE PROTESTED.
Mexican Newspapers Claim United States is Not Justified in Demands,

Mexico City. Nov. 7.-Local news papers have made much of the fact that, according to figures published by the department of foreign rela- tions, during the past year only four teen Americans have met violent. death in Mexico compared to twenty one Mexicans killed in the United States, including thirteen in the state of Texas.
 The newspapers assert these figures rrove that the United States govern ment is not justified in It's demands for protection of the lives of it's na- tionals here. It is also reported that during the past few months the for cign office has made frequent repre- sentations regarding alleged killings of Mexicans in the United States.

MEANWHILE

II Ia. at this moment, the interVa' "between the dark and the daylight The votes are cast. It is not intlmated that the old regime was the dark ana the new, whatever 1t will be. will DC the daylight. The Idea to be con veved is that at the present moment we are merely waiting to find out who is who and what is what.
 Intervals of inaction are repulsiveto our energetic habit. Yet one Is inclin- ed to inaction these few hours. one IS tempted to speculate and waste lot of words. It Is q good time to do a bit of thinking about politics ana what we are going to do about them'
 People differ on many things about the way things have been managed in this state, in this city-7they differ as to the degree of blame that should at- tach this man or that man, this group or that group, this party or that party But feW 1dll lo dBicS. NA|i ~
 mcnt that Things Is pretty rotten" The customary cry to go up after cleo ton is to "Torget Politics" and go about your business.
 In this day of change why not change that slogan? Things have con- tinued to be fairly bad, thank you after election, under the creed of for getting politics--and this is hitting at no person, no group or no party-so why not change that creed and adopt the motto "Remember Politics?" Why not start the habit of keeping better watch over politics and politicians in stead of forgetting all about them un- till election time and then being sur prised to learn all that has been go- ing on? A universal interest in politics would not only keep affairs a bit bet ter, perhaps, but surely would make the atmosphere clearer when the next election comes around. And so, no matter who wins, watch 'em. not suspiciously, not hypercritically--jus interestediy. Live and learn.

MINE MENACE PRESENT.

Stockholm, Nov 7.--All ships leav- ing ports on the Baltic Sea have been warned of The renewed danger of mines, many of which have been found in various parts of the sea dur ing the last month.
 The latest casualty laid to mines Is the loss of the Finnish lightship Storbotten, which was blown up by a mine of Aland in September. Five of the crew of ten were lost. The loss of many vessels since, the war Is be- lieved to have been caused by the mines.
 The sea was reported to be mine free after German boats had been sent to clear the waters last summer. It is now alleged that this job was not well done, and that there is still much danger from these floating derelicts.

Copenhagen, Nov. 7.--Prohibition in Iceland has gradually come to be a mere sham, according to the Lord Mayor Zimsen, of Reykjavik, the chief city of the island.
 In an interview the Lord Mayor is quoted as saying:
 Iceland is no longer a prohibition country. Wines of 21 per cent al cohol may now be brought in. AL though the Spanish commercial treaty which provides for the importation of wines, is unpopular with many peo- pie as having killed prohibition, it Is only fair to mention that the prohibit ton act worked satisfactorily only the first two years. Afterwards smuggi- ing and home brewing practically made the law non-existent."
