The fear among the Turks and the
allies that the Greeks will cause a
new conflict in the~Near East con
tiHues.
The news from Lausanne is dis
tinctly unsatisfactory, Venizelos still
insisting that Greece will pay no in
demnity to the Turks. while Ismet
Pasha insists that the reparation
condition is absolutely necessary,
and refuses to make any allowance
for the fact that the Greek treas
ury is empty.
It is believed, in allied circles,
that in the end the Turks will give
in and accept la nominal reparation.
but some fear that they may do so
when it is too late. The Greek
army is in perfect fighting trim and
experts who have seen the troops
along the Martha river declare that
they are better IAN ever. officers
as we'll as men are full of fighting
enthusiasm and all units ale ready
to march within one hour after the
order to advance is received.
At present the Greek force along
the Martha is made up of five in
fantry divisions ard one OF cavalry
all fully equipped, while two more
divisions are kept in reserve. The
opposing Turkish force is insignifi-
cant.
1t is feared by the allied officials
in Constantinople that the Greeks
may take advantage of the Bairam,
the main Turkish holiday, and hast
en- action so as to place the allies
before an accomplished fact, past ex-
periehce having shown that once
things have happened the allies are
unable or unwilling to act. In Greece
the warlil<e spirit has increased; ali
the people there realizing that it is
the last chance for their country.

BAPTIST UNIVERSITY
PROPOSAL DEFERRED.
FOR ANOTHER YEAR

KANSAS CITY, May 17.--(By the
Associated Press. )-Reports from
Baptist educational institutions in
the southwest were considered to
day by the Southern Baptist convea
ton, which convened here y@@Sw4%
day for a five-day session. These
institutions include the Southern
Baptist Theological seminary at
Louisville, Ky, the Southwestern
Theological seminary at Fort Worth,
Tex: the Baptist Bible institute 1T
New Orleans, and the projected
negro Baptist Theological seminary
at Nashville, Tenn. The negro SEM
mary is being established in CO.
operation with the national Baptist
convention, U. S. A.
The convention devoted most Of
its session last night to discussion
of a larger program for it's educa'
tional board at Birmingham, Ala.
The convention will not imme-
diately take over the Southwestern
Baptist Theological seminary, it was
decided. The seminary was rendered
to the convention by a committee
representing the trustees of the in
stitution. and a committee was ap-
pointed to work out the terms by
which the offer may be accepted.
The committee will report at the an
nual meeting of the convention next
year.
- Consideration Of educational i'll
terests was disposed of by. noon.
The home mission board presented
noon and after an analysis of bust
ness phases of the work of the
board, tonight's program included
addresses by missionaries engaged
in work among foreign born, Indians
and negroes, mountain school work,
work among deaf mutes and relig-
ious activity in Pan-America and
Cuba.
No final action will be taken this
year, it was believed on a proposal
to transfer to the education board
the control of SO mountain mission
schools operated by the home mis-.
sion board.
Action on a proposal to establish
denominational university for the
south was deferred late yesterday
until next year. Georgia Baptists
have asked that Mercer university,
at Macon, Ca. be employed as
nucleus for such an institution.
Approximately 5000 delegates had
registered here early today from Il
states and the District of Columbia.
Registration officials estimated this
number would be increased to 1000.
One Of the most promising develop
ments of the past year among South
ern Baptist, men has been the or
ganization OF the 500 local brother
hoods among the local churches, ac.
cording to Dr&J. T. Henderson, cor
responding secretary of the Lay
mems Missionary movement, in his
annual report to the convention to-
day. These local organizations pro-
mote not only a greater social life
among the membership of the
churches, but fuller acquaintance
with the programs and activities of
the denomination as a whole, it was
pointed out.

CREDIT MEN DEFENDING
 RESERVE BANKING SYSTEM
Atlanta Convention Also Takes Ur Bonus and Opposes Any Form
 Of Blank Legislation

Atlanta, June 13.-The federal re- serve banking system was warmly defended at today's session of the con- vention of the national association of credit men in the report of the na- tional committee on banking and cur rency as well as in the principal ad- dress of the day delivered by J. II. Puelicher of Milwaukee. president Of the American Bankers association.
 The banking and currency commit tee declared that much of the criti- cism against the federal reserve board and system is due to misconception of the duties and functions of the federal reserve banks: that many people hold to the view that the board essays to control the flow of business by the simple expedient of raising or lowering the rediscount rate.'
 AS a matter of fact" the report stated, according to the committees observations the board is not inter ested in the slightest degree in specu- lation as such or even imitation as such; their bounden duties begin. and end with keeping the banking re- serves of the country in such condt- tion at all times that there can be no possible doubt of these reserves be- ing equal to the severest strain"
 On the subject of soldier bonus, the report reaffirmed the stand taken at previous conventions against the blanket bonus.

GRADE CROSSINGS.

Several officials of the city inspect ed a grade crossing the other day with a view to trying to have it made safe for the people who pass over that crossing. The practical details of how this is to be accomplished are matters for engineering thought and study, but the incident serves to bring up a matter that is now of great import ance, even though it be admitted that the day of the "fivver airplane" which may be built for a few hum dred dollars is coming-a day that will relieve the highways of some of their traffic. For there will al- ways be increasing traffic on the highways. no matter what happens. This, despite ones realization that it Is assuming great deal to make any prediction as to the future in the face of sciences inventions.
 When railroads were first made practical and brought so much new wealth to the world the accomplish ment was so wonderful that no thought was taken Of making their operation more difficult by providing safety for people obliged to cross the rails. The great possibilities for rail- road development, and the. resultant benefit to all, were seen, at least par tially Those results have come from such development, until today every one realizes that this country would have been comparatively poor indeed were it not for the work the rail- roads have done. The need of trans portation is greater than ever and at the moment the railroads do that work. But along with the develop ing roads there have come other de- veopments, the automobile primarily. | Trucks now compete and will con tinue to compete on longer and longer hauls. Men use their own cars TOT transporting gOOdS WnlCn, years | ago. had To be transported by rail. i The. highways are no longer local 1 affairs: the use Of them is growing | faster than the use Of railroads ia growing, despite the continued neces- sity of the roads.

The roads no longer have the field all to them selves-and that field will become less their possession than formerly
 The logical result is that the rail- roads. merely because they are so secessary, must no longer feel that

TO TEsr TIE TIME JAW.

 Again advising our readers to obey the law to the letter while il is the law this newspaper welcomes the plan to bring the test case. if it is properly done. as one means of talk ing New Britain out Of the atmos- phere Of ridieule Into which the acc ton of the Legislature in passing such a law has plunged it,

 We believe the present law Is un- constitutional. We advise obeying it as long as it is the law. But we should like to see New Britain the first city in the state. as there seems a chance of its being. to bring relief to other towns and cities of the state This 1t would do if decision declar- ing the law unconstitutional were ob- tained. And we are confident such a decision would be obtained provided the influence of the strong men" of the republican party does not extend to the courts-and we have far too much respect for the courts to be- lieve it does.
 But it must be remembered that, in approving this plan, it is to be distinctly understood that the pur- pose of displaying a clock giving standard time would be merely for the purpose of test case The i city, as well as all the people, should not be encouraged to break the state law.

KANSAS INDUSTRIAL COURT.

The Kansas Industrial Court has
 been on trial. Those who know some
 of the mon who have been on that court. and those who have stood be.
 hind 1t realize the high ideal which
 was its inspiration. It was sought 10 settle disputes between workers and employers, and every effort was made to be fair in all matters brought before 1t.
 But as observers suspected, it tried to do too much. The statute giving it the powers which made the court too strong. has been shown to allow persons to be deprived of the things which the Fourteenth amendment declares people in this country shall possess. People here shall not have their liberty or property taken from them without due process of law. People shall have the right to con tract as they will provided there is no violation of public policy. When the Industrial court undertook to say how much wages should be paid workers and how long they should work, in a case where the public in- terest was not distinctly involved, the Supreme Court held that the court violates the freedom of contract and of labor: it curtails the rights of em- ployer and employe.
 Much as we might love to see a court which would be able to settle matters fairly between labor and cap- ital, we love the Fourteenth amend ment to the Constitution more. This carrying with it the spirit of liberty and freedom, should be protected at all costs. As this said some days ago it is well to emphasize this Fourteenth at this time. The Su- preme Court has done it now in this decision. A beautiful ideal must fall when it endangers the most splendid ideal of freedom and liberty upon which this country was founded and holding to which 1t has grown strong and prospered.
