Angora Correspondent Thinks Turks
Seek Aid in Moscow.

LONDON, December II P.-The
Westminster Gazette's Angora CORE
spondent says he learns from a reli-
able source that the Turkish minister
of agriculture. Sabri Bey, has gone to
Moscow, ostonsibly to study Russian
agriculture, but that he is really
charged with q mission to negotiate
Russian support for Turkey in the
event Of war over Mosul.
The correspondent adds:
There is a thick atmosphere Of sus-
picion here which is difficult to dis
sipate. The situation must be taken
most seriously. Many Turks profess
ardently desire for friendship with
Great Britain, but quick friendly
methods following the leagues deci-
sion are essential if the hostile eie-
ments are to be disarmed."

The District Commissioners are
strongly In favor of abolition OF capl-
tai punishment, they advised Repre-

in Congress. the Commissioners said:
This object is In harmony with pro

the present day and the Commission

Electrocution was substituted for

WAR OVER MOSUL
IS HELD REMOTE
Neither British, Turks or
League See Hostility as
Result of Award.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 17.--A most
hopeful view taken here regarding
the situation growing out of the In
dorsement by the League of Nations
Of Great Britain's position respecting
The MosuI boundary in the Kingdom
Of Irak is that opportunity now is
to be given negotiators to attempt
70 arrange u friendly understanding
between Turkey and Great Britain.
Armed hostilities between Turkey
and Great Britain over the latter hav-
ing secured the mandate for the rich
oil-and agricultural region are not
considered probable. either in Lon
don or In League of Nations circles
In Geneva. This. despite the tact
that the chief Turkish delegate in
Geneva still is filled with wrath over
the award by the council of the
league, and Notwithstanding the re-
port that Sabri Bey, the Turkish min
ister OF agriculture, has gone 10 Rus
sia ostensibly to study agriculture.
but really 10 negotiate Russian sup
port for Turkey in the event Of war.
Britain Wants Turkey TO Prosper.
In some quarters in London the
government attitude toward Turkey
is said to embrace a desire to see
Turkey live and not be stifled or para
lyzed. IT is reported that reassuring
communications regarding Mosul al.
ready have passed between London
Premier Baldwin will make a state
ment to Parliament on the situation
at an early date. Until he does so
the line the government proposes to
take is likely to remain pure guess
work
At Geneva Great Britain accepted
the councils decision that she must
take up the c5-year mandate over
Irak, and Sir Austen Cha mberlain also
gave assurances that Great Britain
vas desirous of living on terms of
peace and antity with Turkey and
would be glad 10 enter into conversa-
tions looking to an improvement In
the relations between the two coun-
tries.
Cites Chief Value of Verdict.
The Times thinks the chief value
of the leagues verdict is that 1t en-
ables Great Britain to open direct
friendly negotiations with the An
CORA government, which 1t could not
do while the Mosul question was in
the hands of the League Of Nations.
1t suggests that q wise Englishman,
familiar with the East be sent as soon
as possible to Angora to discuss the
outstanding problem.
On the other hand. the Daily Mail
declares that the decision at Geneva
will be received with universal indigna-
ton by the British people. 1t warns
Mr.. Chamberlain that 'the bouquets
of Locarno may be transmitted into
brickbatS of Mosul."

Arnold with Potter & Co, whereby
he is alleged to have agreed 10 deliver
stock which would give the brokers
controlling interest in the Washington
Rapid Transit Co. Failure OF Arnold
to deliver this stock, after he had pur-
chased some of 1t from Spicer. was
the basis of the suit for specific per

Spicer claimed that he asked Arnold
at the time whether there were any

Of this stock. but that Arnold con-
cealed from him this material fact

q cross-bill in this same specific per

The price fixed under the option was

Two weeks ago the defaulting banker

THINGS WORTH THINKING OVER


Remember, young man, that re-
suits tell the story.
A regular fellow is one who i'm
proves his mind as well as his body
When you know you need some
thing, whether it be vigor, vitality,
or learning-try to attain it.
Young man, with all your high
school education, learn good trade
Tuition, without trade or profess
sion, is like sailing the seas ON dead
reckoning" without knowing how to
navigate.
The man who is so thoroughly bus
mess trained that all his endeavors
seek to accumulate wealth, doesn't
get much of kick out of life. It's
the individual who forgets self long
enough to do and care for others
that gets a touch of real happiness.
If you gain the whole world, you
can't take it with you.
Warlike individuals, like nations,
are bound to meet with reverses.
The millenium-when humanity
ceases to exploit each other and rec
ognizes the pricfples of "live and let
live"
"Self protection is the first law of
nature" but mutual protection is a
much higher and nobler sentiment
The individual who is "his brothers
keeper" helps to make this better
world to live in.

is more a result of self esteem, con-
ceit and selfishness than force of cir
cumstances or environment.
