The revolution, by giving Russia no end of troubles at home, weakened her as an international factor. But the struggle between England and France was bit- terer than ever, Nor was Russla en- tirety out of it. Her claims worried the other two countrics’ diplomats a good deal, It was around this three-cornered dispute that the last Near Eastern conference at Lausanne revolved, The United States merely looked on. MAKING A COUNTRY ‘OVER Now Turkey's turned around and handed over to Americans—the Ches- ter syndicate—=practically everything the others were squabbling about, How big the concession is may be judged from all it includes: | Oil rights, mining rights, commer- cial rights, railroad building rights, ‘|contract to transform Angora, the new Turkish ecapital, into a modern ecity, contract to develop Turkey's seaports, build docks, dredge harb&s. construct terminals—contracts, in short, to do everything necessary to set the Turks on their feet an important agricul- tural, commercial, industrial people. If no hiteh occurs, the concession, !which the Turkish pariiament has ra- [tified in due form, insures American predominance in the Near East for a generation to come—a good deal more so than any League of Nations “man- England's example, in arranging to pay her war debts, seems to be hav- ing an effect on other countries, The Finns and Czechoslovaks have sald they're ready to give bonds for thelr informal wartime promissory notes, Serbla and Rumania announce themselves ready to acknowledge what they owe, It isn't the same lhllnt as paying, but it shows good will, More important, because he repre- sents a bigger country, Premier Mus- solini is planning to name a commis sion to decide oh a method of clear- ing Ttaly's slate, I Italy falls in line, it will become disagreeably noticeable that France hasn't been heard from, which will make it hard for her to avoid doing something, too, So it begins to look as if Americans might get back some of the funds they advanced during the war—Iloans [which they thought were pretty doubtful for awhile, WAS DE VALERA CAPTURED? | It was reported last week that | Bamon de Valera, head of the Irish rcbels who refuse to accept the Kree ‘Stnte government, had been captured, |but the government says not.

FRANCE FILES HER PROTEST France has come through with the first protest. It was filed by General Pelle, Gallic representative on the in- terallied commission in Constanti- nople. Pelle says the American concession infringes one which the since deposed | sultan gave to the French, The Turks answer that they're paying no atten- tion to what the deposed sultan did— | he was just the allics’ hired man when | he did it. | 1t's fully expected that the English | and Russians will protest, too, but it | can be taken for grante that the Turks will say the same thing to them that they've said to the French. | Of course, one of the protesting | government’s weaknesses is that they can't agree among themselves. They oppose the United States, but they oppose one another, as well. Interested in the American conces- sion are some very well known men, like Admiral Colby M. Chester and General George W. Goethals. Kermit Roosevelt's name is mentioned, also. Facts and Fancies BY ROBERT QUILLEN, Don't judge There may method. Attorney declared, that it pass a bonus tor fhis, but it's a rule which has been broken several times in recent years when the majority was temporary and accidental and the question wasn't im- portant,-as in the present case. So the Conservatives wouldn't quit. Labor members were very angry, created a ‘“‘scene” and Colonel Walter Guinness, Conservative assistant secre- tary of war, got a crack on the nose. All this was unprecedented in the sedate House of Commons. NO HELP IS WANTED France and Beigium, dispatches say, are preparing a statement of their demands on Germany, in ex- pectation of a German proposition soon, if they'll get out of the Ruhr. Among diplomats it's understood they propose to be mighty quick with their answer to head any other coun- try off from getting in with an offer to arbitrate. They don't want arbitration, They want to settle the Ruhr question themselves. 125 Years Ago Today| IRISH RELIEF SHIP {25 Years Ago Today} !(leen from Herald of that date) ‘ [;ANN[]T fiET MflNEY None of Garland’s Fund for Car Despatcher McCabe is seen Larkin's Pet Scheme be dynamite' and closer than one at first realizes. tainly this man who been son- tenced to prison did not mean to kill He simply failed and Cer- too hastily. in her France has he madness to the soldiers, “when held void?"
