After two lions have been
fighting and are thoroughly ex-
hausted and disgusted with
fighting, a jackal might walk
up and safely bite them both.
That's happening in Europe.
Turkey once humbly took
orders from anybody west of
the Balkans. Now Turkey die
tates to Europe terms on which
she will consent not to take
Constantinople and divide with
Russia control of the eastern
entrance to the Mediterranean.
From giving curt, imperative
orders to Turkey, the great
lions Of Europe have changed
to a pleading tone. They don't
want to fight any more and
ask Turkey please to leave
Constantinople alone, taking in
return some other slice Of
Europe.
The answer of the Turks Is
active preparation for the seiz-
ing of Constantinople, with an
intimation that our beloved
American missionaries are not
wanted on Turkish territory.
and that Christians and Armen-
ians will be requested to get
out.
One story from Moscow says
that Russia will give moral
support" to Turkey, but no
troops. The London Times be-
neves the Bolsheviki have been
sending large quantities OF
gold and precious stones to
pay the Turkish army. That
beats "moral support" by
many miles.
Russia, like the rest of the
world, would like to get along
without any more war and
build up for a while. But if a
little help would put Turkey
into Constantinople, worry the
allies and make them less
casual in their treatment OF
Russia, that would suit the
soviet government.
Last nights news was that
eight nations in Europe were
consulting about the Turkish
situation. the Turks meanwhile
going ahead. One little straw

Charles Rowe, professional,

Country Club to play golf.
Rowe, veteran of the Canadian
army, is notified by wire to

Harvard sets a bad example,

Fortunately, what Jews want
from Harvard is EDUCATION,
not a chance to meet sons of
rich gentlemen. And Harvard
hasn't power to keep education
from anybody that really wants
It.
Education Is in books. Any
man studying at home for four
years, going as rapidly rs his
brain can. 60, instead of tying
himself to the regulated, slower
university gait, will know a
great deal more at the end of
four years than 90 per cent Of
Harvard graduates.
Let the young Jew not worry
about Harvard, but consider the
case of Alexander the Great
and stop worrying. If Philip
had sent Alexander to Athens,
the Young man would have ac-
ouired the Athenian accent. and
much polish, and probably never
would have been Alexander.
His father knew enough to
bring Aristotle from Athens to
Macedonia. 1t was Aristotle's
private teaching that made the
real Alexander. OF universities
YOU may say what the French
say of Voyages" that "they

In New York the price of
anthracite coal is fixed at
Sl3.25, about Sc more than be-
fore the war. Miners wages
have increased since the war
fifty cents a ton. The mine
owners increase is six dollars
q ton.
Would you rather be mine
worker or mine owner? Has
the mine worker or mine owner
more influence with the powers
that be?
They got out an injunction
TO keep the mine worker from

tion to keep owners of mines
