''DoubIe ShuffIe'' and Turkish Girls
Old Friends, Senator King Learns

Senator King goes to Angora
Sunday to devote several days
talking to officials at the new cap
ital. Since his arrival the Senator
has expressed himself freely on
the altruistric policies of America,
the sanctity of Wilsonian prin-
ciples and the various shortcom-
ings of Turkey. AS a result, Con-
stantinople newspapers are devot-
ing columns to his various inter
views and more columns of edi-
torials, chiefly arguing the fallacy
of his opinions.
Mr. Kings declarations are
truly surprising" says Eakit. ''If
he really wants to know whether
Turks or Greeks suffered most
from property abandoned in Asia
Minor he need only glimpse the
cities and villages which the
Greeks burned. Briefly, he seems
to speak fantastically. We can ex-
plain his conduct only by the ex-
aggeration common to Americans"

Lieut. Col. Clarence 0. Sheriff., super
fntendent of public buildings and

tanning a czarist control over one
seventh of the District Of Columbia.
And he also promises "a mans fight
in the next Congress" on other i'm

In a 27-page pamphlet, which the

union shop at a cost TO Mr.. Blanton
of $3.50. the Texas Representative who
says that 'if the Democrats We're now

to a letter in which Col. Sheriff. in

activities tended to lower the morale
of the park police by his interference.

II have carefully read Mr.. BIanton' 5
letter to me of this date. and while il
may be assumed that his efforts to
secure governmental efficiency are
praiseworthy and that his investiga
tions are entirely without personal
feeling, | regret to find that in the
matters discussed in his letter he has
obviously been imposed upon by a
mass of false rumors, which have
naturally led him to accept as facts
statements which are in reality in
most cases entirely without founda
ton of fact.
Appreciated "the Ad."
''The statements in Mr.. Blanton' s
letter, so far as they are based on his
personal knowledge or on an examina
ton of official records, are so highly
commendatory to the office of public
buildings and public parks and to my
self personally, that l could almost
wish that 1 could afford to pay for the
publication in full of his letter at
usual advertising rates.
1T is regretted that at no time has
Mr.. Blanton requested the official rec
ords or actual facts concerning the
unconfirmed rumors and false state
ments of disgruntled ex-employes OF
this office accepted by him at face
value. With full information in his
possession, 1 feel sure that Mr.. Blan
toms sense of fairness would never
have allowed him to write and publish

SOVIET GETTING ARMS
FROM TOXIC, is REPORT
America to Be First to Feel Weight
of Asiatic Pact, Berlin
Informant Says.
BY EDGAR ANsEL MOWRER.

BERLIN, July 1S.-The threatened
understanding between the Commu-
nists and the yellow races has made
amazing strides since the beginning Of
June. According to sensational iufor-
nation which reached the writer
privately today the Japanese and
Soviet governments have reached an
understanding over a common course
of action TO be undertaken in China
against the influence and nationals of
all other countries, especially the
United States.
The writer's informant claims to
have complete information of this un-
derstanding, with exact comprehension
of the motives which caused two in
stinctively ininical governments to
unite. The understanding means in
practice that Japan and Russia will
work together in supplanting all other
foreigners in China, especially Ameri-
cans and English. with their own ma
tionals.
Agree to Sham Front.
1t was intended to keep this agree
ment absolutely secret. Japan eS-
pecially reserves the right TO keep a
sham front of solidarity with Europe
and America In the attitude toward
China and the Bolshevists, while really
working with the latter. Each side
makes concessions. The Soviets. real
1zing they will be unable to carry on
intensive third internationale propa
Ganda with their entire force in China
and Japan simultaneously. agree to
withdraw all Communist agents from
Japan to the mainland.
The Japanese Government, alarmed
. til
Japan and the growth of Communist
doctrines, promises TO observe benevo-
lent neutrality toward any Russian
action in China and further to manu-
faCture and deliver to Russia heavy
artillery and submarines.
The first consignment of heavy
guns recently passed through Yladi-
Tostok over the Transsiberian rail
road and has reached Moscow. 1t is
notable that among some 10 assistants
of the new Japanese Ambassador to
Moscow, Tanaka, are a large number
of officers.
Promoted by Frunze.
The agreement, according to the
writer's informant, was promoted by
the Soviet peoples commissar for war
and navy, Frunze-
Whatever are the mental reserva-
tions of the two governments, each OF
which expects later TO overcome and
supplant the other, this agreement is
perhaps the most stupendous political
event in the embittered fight for the
control of Asia which has developed
since the Washington conference.
The first country to feel the weight
of it unquestionably will be the United
States.
The agreement will certainly be
denied by both the Soviets and the
Japanese and the writer would hest
tate to make 1t public except for his
entire faith in the trustworthiness of
the source Of information.
