NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Conditions in Turkey Compel the
Allies -to Make Strong
Showing of Force.
RUSSIA AGAIN SEEKS PEACE
Renews Offers to Warsaw After *
Severe Defeat by Polee-l-Bupreme
Council on Economlo Restoration
—Another Final Struggle In
Benate Over the
Treaty.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
Conditions in Turkey have been going
from bad to worse until the supreme
council of the allies has been driven
not only to adopt drastic measures but
even to plan for the temporary tak
ing over of certain of the Turkish
government activities, including the
war department. If the Turks behave
themselves better and cease the mas
sacring of Armenians this control will
be only temporary. Urged especially
by Premier Venlzelos of Greece, the
council Is said to have ordered the
occupation of Important points In Asi
atic and European Turkey by allied
military and naval forces in the be
lief that strong showing of military
force would bring the Turks around
to their senses. If this Is not "suffi
cient, It may be necessary to start
operations against Mustaphn Kernel
Pasha, the Turkish commander in
Asiatic Turkey, and It Is believed
these would be carried out by the
Greek army of 90,000 men now in the
Smyrna region.
Since the recent massacre In Ma
rash similar outrages have occurred
in a number of other places and It
is reported that Turks, Kurds and
Arabs are besieging Alntab, Urfa, Dln
bekr, Mardin and other towns. In
all these places there are American
relief workers who are In danger, and
many days ago Consul J. B. Jackson
at Aleppo asked our state department
to send a- squadron of warships to
Port Alexandretta. The French gar
risons, however, are the chief objects
of attack and considerable French re
inforcements have been sent to Clll
da.
The trouble In Turkey, which Is
said to he directed from Berlin and
supported by the bolshevlkl, Is a part
of the general fight being put up In
Egypt, Mesopotamia, and other coun
tries by so-called nationalists who are
attacking the British rule. Dispatches
from Turkey assert that Prince Felsnl
of the Hedjaz kingdom Is Implicated
In It and has suggested a possible
union of Turkey, Syria and the Hedjaz.
The situation Is becoming almost as
complicated and difficult to under
stand as that In Russia some months
ago.
What was heralded as a great drive
against Poland by the Russian bolshe
vlkl was turned Into a decisive defeat
of the latter when the Poles took two
Important railway Junctions and a
large number of prisoners, Including
an entire division staff. Immediately
thereafter Tchlicherln, soviet foreign
minister, sent another peace note to
Warsaw, asking when and where the
pence delegates of all the border na
tions might meet with the representa
tives of the bolshevlkl. He asked Po
land to refrain from further hostilities
and explained that the soviet opern
| tlons on the Lithuanian and White
, Ruthenlan fronts, which the Poles had
I broken up, were Inspired by fear that
the Poles Intended to start a drive
agalnat the Ukraine. President Pllsud
i ski's position In Poland was greatly
I strengthened by the victory of his
troops and the sttitude of the Mos
rw government
The Roumanians and the bolshevlkl
"are in a fair way to make peace, ne
gotiations now being under way at
Dorna-Watra In Bukowlna. As a pre
llrulnsry the Roumanians demand that
the soviet troops be withdrawn from
the frontier and that commercial rela
tione be resumed. It now appears like
ly that Rounianla will aucceed In her
great purpose of annexing, or recov
ering, Bessarabia.
The supreme council of the allies,
taking note of the distressing state of
the world In general, has Issued a
memorandum on economic conditions
thst Is welcomed by all serious mind
ed persons. For the preservation of
civilization It urges, as might be ex
pected. the early and complete res
toration of peace conditions, with nor
msl economic relations, reduction of
armies to a peace footing and llmlta-
tlon of armaments; the encourage- j
ment of larger and better output by I
workers everywhere; the suppression
of extravagance, and deflation of
credit and currency; and assistance
for countries that are now unproduc- I
tlve for lack of raw materials. With- 1
out any suggestion of mitigating the
treaty terms it Is stated that Germany
and especially Austria must be en
abled to obtain foodstuffs and raw
materials In order that they may re
cover enough to pay the Indemnity
de'manded of them, and it Is declared
that the total of the reparation must
be fixed at the earliest possible time.
There Is even a suggestion that Ger
many should be allowed to raise an
International loan to meet her Imme
diate needs. In this proposed line of
conduct toward the vanquished na
tions the supreme council Is facing the
facts with business calculation, not
with sentimental feelings.
If there hnd beetv any tendency
toward treating Germany with more
tenderness It probably would have
been dispelled by the many attacks
made last week by Germans on army
officers and others of the allies In the
country on official business. These
outrages took placo In Berlin and sev
eral other cities and were deliberate
and seemingly planned. The Berlin
government deplores them and prom
ises to punish the offenders, among
whom Is Prince Joachim Albrecht,
cousin of the former kaiser.
Minister of Defense Noske has been
telling correspondents how scrupulous
ly Germany has been carrying out the
terms of the treaty by reducing her
military and naval strength, but there
are other things the government has
not done yet. Among these Is the ap
plication of the promised penalties for
the outrages Suffered by officers of the
interallied commission of the Baltic
states during the German evacuation
of that region. The conference of al
lied ambassadors has sent to Berlin a
firmly worded note demanding that
this pledge be carried out at once.
At frequent Intervals the opposing
forces In the senate have entered on
what Is described by the Washington
correspondents as the decisive strug
gle over the peace treaty of Versailles.
At this writing they are engaged In
another of those combats, and the
prospect Is that thla time It really will
be decisive. Early In the week Presi
dent Wilson, rather than to confer
with a representative of the compro
misers, wrote a long letter to Senator
Hitchcock In which he reasserted his
old position regarding the treaty, con
demned the reservations as a nullifi
cation of the League of Nations cove
nant and pleaded for consideration of
the needs of humanity Instead of "spe
cial national Interests." He demand
ed that article 10 be accepted un
changed and asserted that to refuse to
uccept the moral obligation required
by It would be a breach of good faith.
If the United States cannot enter the
league with full responsibility, he aald.
It should retire gracefully from the
great concert of powers. Article 10,
said the president, represents the re
nunciation by the other great powers
of their old Imperialistic Ideas and
alms, and Its doctrine Is the essence
of Americanism. He continued:
"Militaristic ambitions anil Imperial
istic policies are by ( no means dead,
even tn the councils of the nations
whom we most trust iind with whom
we most desire to be associated In the
tasks of peace."' And then he added
the surprising statement tfcat the mili
taristic porty of Prance which was
prevented from getting the up|ier hand 1
during the peace conference Is In con
trol there now. In evident allbslgn to
Vincent Grey's letter, he soys he Is
"not wllllr.g to trust to the counsel of
dlplotns'* the working out of any sal
vntlop of the world from things which
It has suffered." v
Quite naturally, Mr. Wilson's refer
ence* to French policies annoyed the
French government and enraged the
French people. It was reported thst
Ambassador Jusserand hnd been In
structed to ask our state department
for a more explicit explanation of ths
president's meaning.
That the president's letter sounded
the knell of the treaty was the gen
eral opinion, for while there were
some further feeble efforts at compro
mise, the senators 'prepared them
selves for a final fight In which It wss
believed enough Democrats would be
rallied to the support of the president
to prevent ratification with reserva
tions, provided the "irreconcllsble"
Republicans voted with tlietn.
The Insurgent Democrats, most of
whom are up for re-election this year,
are Inclined to think Bryan was right
when he said the |»arty could not af
ford to go before the country on the
Issue of article 10. yet that Is the pros
pect that confronts the Democrats.
And If thst Is made the Issue, It Is
GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. MARCH 18.1920
predicted that Mr. Wilson will be com
pelled to reconsider his reported de
cision not to seek a third term. Of"
the administration Democrats who am
after the nomination Attorney General
Palmer Is the only one who la trying
to capture instructed delegations, and
of course If Ills chief determined to
run again, Mr. Palmer would have to
stand aside. The othdrs, like McAdoo,
have been contenting themselves with
keeping tfieir names before the public
and advising the sending of unlnstruct
ed delegates to San Francisco.
Many of the Republicans welcomed
the cbance to make article 10 the la
sue of the campaign, the Irreconcil
able* especially being pleased. The
situation served to boost the stock of
Senator Hiram Johnson considerably.
Two of his colleagues, Kenyan of lowa
and Norris of Nebraska, promptly an
nounced that they would support his
candidacy. "The president has made
the Isaue," said Kenyon. "It Is arti
cle 10. Let the fight come. Let the
Democrat* nominate "Woodrow Wilson
under the white Hag of International
ism and the Republicans nominate Hi
ram Johnson undar the Stars and
Stripes of Americanism."
So far, however, the main contest
ant* for the Republican nomination re
main as before, General Wood and
Governor Lowden. Both have made
considerable progress and also their
managers have succeeded In stirring np
a good deal of bitterness In soma
states, notably Illinois, where the Low
den men thought the Wood forces were
trying to trespass on their preserves.
When Frank Hitchcock became active
ly engaged in the Wood campaign M
was believed this would assure for the
general the support of all the sooth*
ern states, where Hltchcifcck built np
a smooth-working machine when ho
was postmaster general. But this
Idea received a jolt last week When
the North Carolina state convention
Indorsed the candidacy of Judge Peter
C. Prltchard.
Herbert Hoover has done something
to make clear his political affiliation*.
In a letter to a California admirer he
says It Is well known that he was a
progressive Republican before the
war, and that be Is now an Indepen
dent progressive.
The president's commission for set
tlement of the coal mine labor troubles
was unable last week to formulate a
unanimous report as Mr. Wilson re
quested, but one wsa forwarded to
the White House, sighed by Peale, rep
resenting the owners, and Robinson,
representing the public. White, repre
senting the miners, refused to concur.
This disagreement was over the ques
tion of hours, Mr. White holding out for
a seven-hour day while the others In
sisted on an eight-hour day. The ma
jority report was thst the bituminous
miners should be given a 25 per cent

Franklin K. lane has accepted an In

Booth to heroine the national chairman
for the Halvatlon Army's annual ap
peal for funds In 1920, He Is alrendy
on thla Job, although Wall Street doea
not greet him as an oil well executive
for another month.
"It Is a genuine privilege to find op
portunity for encouraging a work so di
rect and practical and so valuable to
the masses of the people lis the work
of the Halvatlon Army," said Mr. !,ane
at his office In Wsshlngton the other
day. "When Commander Hiss Booth
asked me 'to take Jhe responsibilities
of national chairman for the 1020 ap
peel of that organization," continued
the secretary, "tl>e first thought that
flashed across my mind was, How can
I spare time for such work when I

Of great responsibility? „
"And then there Hashed across my

the confidence of the common people
like this Salvation Army liai won then
In recent years. I am going to pull
oft my coat and do some real work
that will ahow where I stand when It
cornea to weighing (he homely, unos
tentatious and highly practical relief
method* of this amazing band «f work
ers. I heard the call. The problems of
the poor are there to be solved, and
they can use my poor efforts perhaps,
so I hare answered the call.
"I won't do much talking In the com
ing drive. I will do real w6rk, and
when I do talk I don't want to talk to
anyone but actual workers. There wilt
be no speech making by me to those
who might be curious to hear a former
cabinet officer In action, but who are
not Interested In the work of the Sal
vation Army. I shall talk te workers
and only to workera. The day for ora
tory In such matters has gone. We are
down to brass tacks.
"I think I owe It as a citizen of
America to show my understanding
and appreciation of the helpful work
the Salvation Army Is doing In Ita res
cue homes, msternlty hospitals, free
clinics, Industrial homes, fresh air
farms and tenement house relief work.
"My testimony is not needed, how
ever, In this matter. There are 2,000,-
000 or 8,000,000 of young Americans
who went Into the recent war either
unaware that the Salvation Army ex
isted or having no use for Its methods
if they did know of It. 8o far as I csn
learn these men came out of that war
unanimous on one subject—and that
was that the Salvation Army under
stood the average man, knew how to
deal with him and simply 'delivered
the goods' on the 100 per cent basis.
"There Is no division of opinion on
that one subject. There could hays
been ho greater test for the Salvation
Army than the test It received in tbs
war. So after all lam merely adding
my voice to the mighty chorus I have
referred to I say that the Salva
tion Army has long sines-won the right
to make an appeal to the rest of us
for Its maintenance, and I am sura It
will not make that appeal In vain.
"The Salvation Army one year ago
abandoned Its old custom of begging
In the streets the year sround so that
Its workers could devote sll of their
time and attontlon to the poor. It
makes an annual appeal each May.
Personally I know of no greater bul
wark that could be raised sgalnst the
rising tide of human unrest than to
strengthen the hands of this band of
self sacrificing Christian tollers who
have the confidence of all men and wo
men, regardless of race, creed, color or
position In life. I think It Is Impor
tant for the Interests of our advancing
civilization that such s practical and
wholesome work he stlmulsted and
maintained to the utmost.
"They say there are no 'down and
outers' any more. Personally Ido not
believe It, or If I did believe It I would
know that the abnormal tlmea have
swung the pendulum b'ack too far on
one side—and that It will swing far
to the other Side directly. There will
always be a bottom to society. The
poor will alwaya he with us. We ows
It to our fellow men to know our neigh
bor and ahare his troubles and prob
lems, and only by that method can we,
In all fairness ami righteousness, keep
the scales even In ttils life.
."I ain proud to face the problems of
the poor with the Salvation Army In
surh a trying hour, anil I hope that
American men and women will stand
with me In the work ahead of us. Hut
they must tie workers. I »hsll have no
time to entertain more observers."
Both for the organize!len flint gives
aid nnd relief to the poor snd for tha
poor themselves, the high cost of living
hn* been a troublesome factor In re
cent montha, Money does not go fsr
these days, but there's no one In ths
world who ran get more worth-whlls
work out of a dollsr than can the Sal
