Roumania.
Looming behind the horizon OF
Central and Eastern Europe is So
Wet Russia with its army Of 1,50O,-
600 men. The possibility of en-
ploying this army 10 defend Ger
many against France Is very remote,
II not beyond discussion. But there
is always a possibility OF soviet
offensive against Poland or Rou-
mania, and also possibility of
Russia becoming involved IN the
war that threatens between Turkey
and the western powers. The
strength and warlike purpose OF So
Wet Russia are obscure matters
which are not revealed to the world
except by indirection and accident.
The western powers have gathered
much information. however. which
warrants their opinion that the un-
derstanding between soviet Russia
and Turkey does not necessarily i'm
ply that Russia would be found on
Turkeys side in the event that war
should follow the Lausanne confer
ence.
No doubt incessant interchanges
are going on between the German
and soviet Russian governments and
between them both and the Turkish
nationallsts. Evidence of an effort
by the Germans to bring about a
Turkish-Russian-German entente or
alliance is in possession of the
western powers But the Germans
have little or nothing to offer the
Russians or the Turks at this juno
ture, while the task Of assuming
Germany's burden may well cause
either Russia or Turkey TO hesitate.
The great danger spot just now
is where France is occupying Ger
man territory. II war should break
out, II is more likely TO break out
there than in the Balkans.

True love never inhicts pain the beloved. 1t

BLOW TO UNIVERSITY

BLOW TO UNIVERSITY.
From the Milford Chronicle.
In the death Of Edward Laurence
Smith the University of Delaware
has sustained a loss and ouffered a
blow from which It will take time to
recover. Stricken in the prime Of
life, without warning, Dean Smith
succumbed TO an attack of pneu-
mOnia which was of short duration.
For twenty years OF useful life, he
has given the best that was in him
to the University of Delaware in
order to advance its interest and the
interests OF tho student body. Enter
ing the faculty of old Delaware Col
lege when It was struggling institu-
ton with an enrolment OF less than
100 students, he worked faithfully
for the Advancement OF the Diamond
States seat Of learning. At all times
the interests of the institution were
his interests and ne took every fair
means OF seeing tina. these interests
were upheld and advanced. When a
few years ago the old college became
tho University OF Delaware the trus-
tees did not have to look elsewhere
for a man capable in every respect
Of filling the important Office OF Dean
Edward Laurence Smith was al
ready on the Job, and II required
only the. action OF the governing body
of the University OF Delaware TO
cloth him with the proper authority.
II will be as Dean Smith, that he will
long be remembered by friends Of
Delaware. II was as counselor and
friend that the students wen. to him
for advice, and the solution Of their
problems were much more easily ac-
complished after a heart to heart
talk with Dean Smith. As time went
on he became the big brother" to
the students; always active in ad-
vancing their interests and aiding

useful career IN active life. No better
tribute TO any man could have been
given than that which was witnessed
daily when some old graduate visited
his Alma Mater and the first request
was invariably Where Is Professor
Smith ?" A handshake from him. and
a cordial welcome made the visi. a
real pleasure. Dean Smith has
passed to the world beyond; but TO

Iege OF having studied under him.

The Situation in the Balkans

Before becoming alarmed at re-
ports limiting that another world
war may spring out of quarrels in
the Balkans. It would be we'll for
any Sader interested in that sub
ject TO inquire into the new state
OF affairs in the Balkan. That
loosely defined region is entirely
different. politically, from what It
was in, 1914. Instead of being COM
posed of three countries-Serbia,
Bulgaria and Greece-the Balkans
may now be said to include Rou-
mania, because OF Its acquisition Of
the DobrudJa province.
Formerly the Balkan states were
feeble folk. but now two of them
are strong. Serbia, instead OF num-
bering 100000 population, hnl
restricted territory. Is now Jugo-
slavia, with a population OF 10000
600, with access 10 both the Adri-
alto and the Aegean. Roumanla has
acquired Transylvania and Bessa-
rabia as we'll as the Dobrudja, ana
now contains 100000 people.
Jugoslavia and Roumania have a
hard and fast defensive alliance
which constitutes their people a
solid bloc against such conhagra-
tion as that which swept over the
Balkans In 1914.
Greece remains n small state,
and is IN no condition to Garry on an
offensive against Turkey, as has
been reported. II Greece escapes
interior convulsions she will be do
ing very well. Bulgaria constitutes
something of a menace under the
present regime, as Il IS popularly
believed that 1here is an under
standing between Bulgaria and the
Russian soviet which may develop
into an attack upon Rumania, II
circumstances seem auspiclous The
soviet regards the taking of Bess-
arabia as a casus belh. while Bull
garia cherIshes the same feeling
regarding the Dobrudja.

THREE YEARS OF

From the New York Herald.
Three years ago the dry law went
into effect. It IS still A gigantic ex-
pertinent. It may take another
three years before the country can
safely pronounce It a success or
demonstrate It TO be a failure.
Il Is a very large and complex
question. In a country the size of
America the enforcement OF so
drastic law is a colossal undertake
ing than the framens OF the measure
reasoned It could be.
Those who believed in and fought
for the enactment OF the dry law
doubtless maintain now the same
stand they did then. They were not
half hearted in their insistence Oh
its passage. They put all their ar
guments into the fight. They had
none left in reserve for the fight
against the measure that has now
developed in such large proportions.
The Eighteenth Amendment had
walkover in Congress and a walk
over in State ratihcatlons. There
was no effective citizenship organi-
cation against It. II got the indorse-
ment of every State in the Union
except three-New Jersey, Rhode
Island and Connecticut.
And the Volstead act passed Con-
gress with a rush. President VIII
son vetoed II on technical grounds
and Congress passed It over his veto.
The Eighteenth Amendment and the
Volstead act were then free from
party politics. The Volstead act is
not free from party politics today
The truth is that the dry law has be-
come a very real political issue and
It cannot escape becoming a much
bigger one.
Organized labor has demanded
light wines and beer. sam GOmpers
has taken up the fight. The Demo-
cratic State platform of New York
demanded light wines and beer and
the party won out at the polls so
overwhelmingly that the Republican
opposition was smashed to smith

plank played In the victory is

THE NEGLIGENT VOTER.

From the Washington Post.
Many persons had hoped and
others had feared that, with the
franchise at last secured. women
would show up in overwhelming
numbers whenever and wherever
votes were to be cast. A third class
possibly better judges OF human
nature and certainly more cynical,
said: "GHve women the suffrage,
and things viii go on as usual" 1t
IS this last opinion that events seem
to have justified. The figures given
out on the subject by the bureau of
the census are astounding. At the
last election out OF 54.521,ss2 ell
glble voters 27,7e3.s76, or more
than so per cent. did not take the
trouble TO go 10 the polls. National
and civic responsibility appears to
he slumbering when so many polit-
ical slackers are TO be found IN the
body politio.
It might be argued that II was the
men who were In default and that
the women did their duty. The solid
facts are however. against this con-
tentiou. and in addition here IS the
president general Of the d. a. r..
possessed of exceptional sources Of
information. who comes out boldly
with the statement that for this re-
grettable delinquency women must
bear their full share OF responsible
ity.
Neither can the blame be shifted
to the naturalized citizens. Some of
these are. It Is true. not yet fully
awake TO their duties and preroga-
tives. but many OF them are proud
TO exercise their rights as voters of
the great country which has adopted
them.
The truth is that there is blame
all around-On women as well as on
men; on the natives as we'll as on
the foreign born. The public con-
science needs 70 be stimulated, and
It Is sincerely to be hoped that the
census figures will supply the neces-
sary spur.

committee hopeless and render fu-
tile all the really excellent work Il
accomplished in its investigation.
FOR THE VETERANS BUREAU.
From the New York Tribune.
To expose a bad situation without
suggesting the remedy for It Is a
futile process. The Tribune. in a
series OF articles this week. has
shown the ineptness, the ineficiency.
the misund derstanding, on which
rests the governments vocational
training for New York's veterans
OF the World War.
What remedial step seems best7
II seems clear from The Tribune's
evidence that the main reason for
the bad conditions has been the
constant turnover" due, probably,
to politics. The fault does not lie
with the local control for the mo-
ment. Major W. F. Lent, The Tri-
bune is convinced, is the best chief
Veterans Bureau District No. 2 has
had; but he inherits a situation
made by a half dozen predecessors,
each OF whom held office but few
months.
The fact Is that the Veterans
Bureau az a whole needs a larger
visioned management than has ever
been accorded II. 1t is literally true
to say that no American is too big
for this national responsibility.
Leonard Wood-doctor and adminls-
trator-wouid not have been too big
for the Job. But Wood is tied to
the Philippines. The Administra-
tion's other doctor and administra-
tor Is Postmaster General Work
Even a Cabinet officer is not too
big for the Job. and informed opin-
ion IN army circles knows that the
job Is not too big for DR.. Work.
The Administration has faced an
irrepressible conflict over the SOL
diers' bonus That conflict bids fair
to break forth again. Most of its
passion and prejudice rest upon the
governments mishandling OF the
wounded, sick or mentally affected
soldiers OF the World War. An
American OF the first rank in charge
OF the Veterans Bureau would not
only accomplish a great service IN
the reduction of sheer human mis-
cry; he would also take the griev-
ance out of the bonus issue by as
surfing the country that a grateful
government was taking proper care
OF its injured sons.
