WAR LOGICALLY
FOLLOWS.

Late last week Lord Curzon, Brit
ish representative, told Ismet Pasha,
Turkish negotiator, that Ismet has
got to come to his terms or he'd
quit.
1t sounded like an ultimatum, but
NJ. Bompard, French delegate, said
he didn't understand it so. If Curzon
meant, it that way, he added, then
Fra9ce was prepared to make a sep
arate treaty with the Turks.
This meant the kicking of Curzon's
French support out from under him.
He declared it was unbelievable"
Bompard would do such a thing
only he did.
At any rate Curzon made his
threat good. Ismet stood pat. Cur
zon quit.
Logically war between England
and Turkeys the only thing that
can follow, but it may not work out
logically. Desperate efforts will be
made to prevent it. Any British
government that goes to war over
Mosul will be in grave danger from
its own people. Turkey, however,
unquestionably is ready to fight.
Presumably she has Russian back
ing.
At the best it's a threatening out
look.

FIGHT WITH WALKER
. FOR TAX LAW REPEAL

ATLANTA, Feb. 10. - Herbert
Clay, of Cobb county, who retires as
president of the senate with organl-
cation of the next legislature IN
June, and becomes a member of the
house of representatives, has issued
a signed statement in which he says
he is going to stage an active part
in support of that part of Cover
nor-elect Walkers policy which pro
vided for repeal of the State Equal
ization Law.
Mr.. Clay, it has been generally un-
derstood for a long while, is to be
made vice-chairman Of the house
rules committee, which gives added
weight to his position on the tax
question.
He takes the position that the
state can not decrease its appropria-
tions for the public schools, for Con-
federate pensions, the state asylum
for the insane at Milledgeville, or
other state institutions, and the rem
edy, with reepal of the equalization
law, lies III one of three directions ;
a state income tax; tax on luxuries
or sales tax. He is understood
to be preparing bill designed to
meet some one of those propositions,
when it is his purpose to introduce
Immediately the legislature is or
ganlzed in June. As an incident
to settlement of the tax problem, he
says, also, the Legislature, when that
IS settled, should meet only once in
two wears.

CHRONIC TROUBLE
in RUHR,

The Ruhr troubles promises to
develop into something chronic.
These chronic complaints are bad,
not only in themselves, but also be-
cause they make the patient so sus-
ceptible to complications, often a
good deal worse than the original
disease.
However, it looks a little more all
the time as if the French were get
thing to point where they Il be will
ing to have an outsider straighten
the situation out. That the Ger
mans would be oyerjoyed at this goes
without saying. The Ruhr occupa-
tion is running them. But it takes
longer for the French to find out
that it's likely to ruin them, too.
Still, the idea seems to be sinking
in.
If an arbitrator really should be
brought in, unquestionably it will be
the United States. The Washing
ton administration has let it be
known already that it will be more
than delighted to mediate if both
French and Germans desire it, but
that it doesn't propose to BUTT"
in.
Of course the big danger is that a
good deal worse trouble of some sort
will break out before this can hap
pen. That's what no outside power
can guard against. The world can
only hope for the best.
News dispatches say Germany is
much exercised over reports that the
British plan to occupy Hamburg and
Bremen, as a means of checking
any spread of French power on the
European continent. If there were
any truth in this story, it would be
tremendously important, but it's al
most certain there isn't.

Turkeys side is this:

How Foot Ball Is PLAYED

CHIFT plays really have outlived
~ their usefulness in foot ball.

it was of less avail than the stand
ard line-ups with balanced or un-
balanced line. Furthermore, most
shifts delay the game. A team usi,
