It has been fully re- a considerable time that there nsiderable sum that is owed the raliroads by the government as the re- 1e period of government opera- he roads. As an offset to this a good sized amount owed the rnment by the railroads for the dvanced to secure additional squipment. Just what these sums are is definitely established so that it gan old what the balance is that the goy- ment oWes to the roads but it is be- *t present Greage has paid heavily for its actien. 1t has lost severely in this and the pre- vious campaign in Asia Minor but it has apparently demonstrated that it pos- sesses the ability and the strength to degl with the Turkish nationalists which should bring about an early peace in that region even though this appeal to the allies may preduce Ro results. ———— FIGHJING PELLAGEA. are times when we must give our thought and attention to conditions at home as well as abroad and such ap- pears to be the cage now from the statement which has been made by Pres- ident Harding in calling to the attention of the public health service and the Red Crogs the danger that threatens from the prevaience of pellagra in the South. ‘When it is declared that the health, and' possibly the lives of 100,000 in this country are menaced by this disease it furnishes excellent reason on the health ground for carrying on a more active fight against th's disease. But while there is a menace to the health there ia also a serious reduction of the produc- ing capacity of these people and natural- ly the attendant conditions give good cause for alarm ard justify the urging of more ‘determined measures for -the treatment and eradication of this plague. Pellagra is a shin affection about the cause of which there is said to he none too great certainty. While there is one theory to the effect that it comes from eating Indian corn as food after it has become moldy there is another to the effect that it comes from microbeg intro- duced by the bites of insects sueh as sandflies. There is much to support the latter theory in view of the fact that the disease prevails where the eating of corn is almost upknewn, and in this country the sandflies are abundant ip the pellagra territory, éven though eorn is extensively eaten. But regardless of what may be the cauge of the disease there are sufficient reasons Why it shouid be subdued as rapidly as possible. Likewise proper at- tention should be deveted to the cl#fim ihat the people of that section and those affiicted are half starved, whether that happens to be a contributing factor in the spread of the disease or not. Such condltions are to be regarded in the line of a disaster and equally effective measures should be taken to bring the | much needed relief. OBREGON’S POSITION. It cannot fail to be a bit disconcert- ing to President Obrezon of Mexi% when the house of deputles turned down his proposition after it had been favor- ably acted upon by the senate. Eitfier “I -shouldn’t be surprised to have you Just die any minute!

There's just-about enough material in that dress, Araminta, to make a roomy = shopping bag! It would be just about right for a nice, proper bathing suit next summer! ‘Why don’t you have pneumonia?” “I haven't time,” explained her mod- ern granddaughter, cheerfully. “I'm. too rushed to waste the golden minutes that |} way.

Such may have been regarded as a bit unusual but apparently the Mexican congress as far as the house of deputies is concerned advoecated as the Norrig bill. The pres- 'dent's suggestions are bound to he weighed carefully. PROMPY FULFILLMENT. Opiy those who took such a strong stand ‘against the economy that was salled for in the reduction of the standing army of the country will be mrprised at the assertion which has aeen made by Secretary Weeks to the #icct that by the end of July, next Sup- » reorganization of the army will been accomplished. That means there has been dope within the pe- of a few weeks what it was possi- under the provisions of the bill to bave strung along for three months, e the redmetion to 150,000 men was srdeged by Ogtober. Secretary Weeks nevertheless k on set to job and with the 2id of his i assistants bas done the job as Within 2 month it has been that there wefe emough in the who wanted to get ouf, and Wwho think of holding the govern- to the contract of keeping them there for the foll enlistment perlod, to w3t the number down to the fixed quota months ahead of time allowed. ing 50 many men Wwho Werp anx- o have their connection with the terminated causes no surprise. Fhere ate always those who are amxious o get out in less time than thelr enlst- ment calls for and now it is fully reai- zed that the war is over and much of he excitement that might otherwise be sxpected is no longer scheduled. Thus trouble that had heen predicted by hose opposed to the army cut amount- 1 to nothing and there is going to ve an ciable saving effected in pay from putting into effect of the reduction month instead of having it string slong until October. It is a prompt and conamical move ceauired foupd ous umy KEMAL ON Hif ENEES. Possibly the Greeks have not accom- slished their objectives—the capture of Zemal and the crushing of %he Turkish aationaliste—but if it is correct that the eader of the nationalists has asked the Copstantinople goverament to seek the intervention of the allles for the pur-| gese of bringing to an end the Greek ! ampaign against him it is plaiply gis- dosed that not only is he on the run dbut thet he recognizes that he is licked.

That of course doesn’t help the Mexican situa- tion for Mexico must realize that this country is not going to recognize that govermanent until an understanding has been reached regarding the safeguarding of American rights and intevests as af- fected by this particular article 27. Obregon must be given credit for ap- parently seeing the need of early action. Every delay increases the uncertalnty for his government and when his request is turned down there seems to be a cer- tain lack of confidence tbat cannot be pleasing to the executive or indicate the| much desiredYharmony between the exe- cutive and the deputies.

It was the work of the master hand and brain of that accomplished architect, Ggorge Steers and its principal owner was J. €. Stevens, of New York.

In # quarter of an hour she left them all | behind, save only the Constance, Bea- trice and Fairy Queen, which were well together, and went along smartly with the light breeze. In another quarter of an hour the America was clear of them all. From the Point the Tacc was practically over. When fin- ally she reached the starting vessel at ‘835 D. m. there was no competitor in sight, but finally the Aurora appeared, and she was awarded second prize. In the royal yacat, which had gone to the race, sat the Queen. Near the fnish she was at luncheon. To an at- tendant she, spid: “Signal master, are the vyachts in sight?” “Yes,” was the reply. ‘“Wihich is first?” asked her Majesty. “The America.” “And which is second?” “Ah, your Majesty, is no second,” was the reply. The victory of the America was re- ceived by the British public with good- natured regret. On the race there was a splendid display of fireworks along the glub house esplanade, at which thousands of persons were present. The Queen having intimated her de- sire to inspect the America, the latter sailed from Cowes to Osborne, and as the Queen, with Prince Albert and neared the America, the national of that vessel were dipped, and raised again when sne had proceeded on hoard. The first effort to win back the silver trophy was made on August 8, 1870, by James Asbury’s English American y..cht Cambria. The American yacht Ma won the race Deating the Eagiish yacht by thirty-nine minutes and twelve gec- onds. Frequent efforts have since been mage, of late, by Sir Thomas Lipton, all of awhich have failed, and America still retains the cup, and is lfkely to do so for many vears to come.
