~ The Child and the Animal.
Everyone knows how quickly the
child's Interest Is aroused in the pres
encs Of an animal. He takes to It
much more naturally than to one Of
his own kind. This seems to be in
stinctive in childhood, and within rea-
sonable limits parents should encour-
age It Children brought up with anil
NAL pets are bound to show the infiu-
ence Of that companionship through
ont the rest Of their lives. but 1t is
Of great importance that parents and
others should teach young children
how to handle these pets Of which
they really become SO fond. They
should be taken up not by the nape
Of the neck. with all the rest Of the
body left dragging down, but picked
up carefully in the arms, so the whole
body gets some support; II they
should not be squeezed and mauled
about and their lives made unhappy
by such usage, which, while 1t may
denote affection, often grows into
careleesness as to the animals well
fare.-Our Dumb Animals.

When spring comes do not erect

peace agreement, provided the Brit
ish government fixes the period of
settlement at not later than a year
after peace is concluded.
Turkish quarters in Constantinop1e
are optimistic as to the prospects OF
peace. 1t is pointed out that the
Angora government has not only not
slammed the door on further negotia
tions, but has expressed a willing
ness to send Ismet Pasha to meet the
allied delegates again as soon as the
allies agree that the Turkish counter
proposals form a satisfactory basis
for new pourparlers.
Victory for KemaI.
In allied circles the Turkish reply
is considered a victory for the mod
crate elements led by Mustapha
Kemal Pasha over the extremists
and also a considerable victory for
British over French diplomacy. Brit
ish commercial and financial inter-
ests in Turkey are small compared
with those of the French. The num-
Der of British small traders who
need the protection of capatula-
tions is insignificant as compared
with the number of French traders
of that class. British interests in
Turkey are mainly political. while
those of the French are almost ex-
clusively economical and financial.
Losses to he Compensated.
Great Britain's losses will be COM
pensated by the fact that she will be
able to retain for a more or less in
definite period control Of Mosul and
Gallipoli. Furthermore, Great Britain
looks forward to getting compensa-
ton for trade losses through the i'm
portant concessions she is trying to
obtain in Turkey in spite Of American
competition. Men are already at
work preparing the ground for a
of the concessions OBJ
tanned by British firms before and
after 1914.

They explain at length that while
the solution of the straits and ter

cepted without modification by the
nationalist assembly. il is necessary
for Turkey TO demand that the allies
