NEED 100,000 TROOPS
TO FULFILL MANDATORY
That Many American Boys Will Be
Required In Turkey If Senate
Accepts Views of Wilson.
“One hundred thousand American
troops will be necessary to the mainte
nance of our mandate in Turkey under
the League of Nations,” says Capt. S.
Gale Lowrie, professor of political
science in the University of Cincinnati,
in an interview.
Capt. Lowrie has just returned
from Constantinople, where he was in
charge of the Red Cross work of ex
tending relief to thtf families in Ar
menia and Turkey of drafted Ameri
can soldiers, several thousand in
number, and is on his way home.
“The necessity for so many troops,”
he said, “arises out of the difficult con
dition in that part of the world. The
Balkan question is unsettled. So
__ are the disposition of Asia Minor and
Arabia. The peace conference has not
yet taken them up, ex< 'pt to urge that
the United States ake over the
Turkish possessions. I' lgland is about
to withdraw her trc jps from Asia
Minor. She has enc ;gh to do in
Palestine and Mesop. amia, to say
nothing of Egypt a..d Africa gen
erally. Even so, she i; attempting to
edge out France in che control of
Syria. She hopes in Mesopotamia’s
oil resources to recoup her financial
losses of the war.
“If we do not accept the mandatory,
the withdrawal of British troops will
result in anti-Christian and pro-Mos
lem massacres. We have become a
world power and must keep our finger
on the pulse of the entire world. If
we do not maintain peace in that par
ticular section, we shall have to take
part in the engulfment. On the other
hand the expense will be great and we
shall have divided interests in both
hemispheres.”
“I have not entirely made up my
mind on the subject, but I think we
ought to let this mandate alone. Now
that the war is over the European
nations are already jealous- of each
other. Any government, no matter
which it might be, would have trouble
in governing the former possessions
of the Turkish Empire. None of the
European nations wants the other to
take them, but they all want us to do
so. At any rate, I am convinced that
neither the mandatory nor the league
as a whole will stop all future wars.”
“Cholly sems uppity. Won’t look
at the society folks around any more.
Has he come into a fortune?”
“He was on the dock the day the
Prince of Wales landed.”

HAPPY NATIVES OF SARAWAK
Under Wise Government, People Live
Easy Lives in Their Gloriously
Fertile Country.
The tribe of Kayans, Inhabiting the
head waters of the Baram and Itejang
rivers of Sarawak, have lived for un
known generations almost isolated In
the Interior of the island of Borneo.
There are many reasons for believing
them to be originally of Caucasian
origin. Many of them have very light
skin, and they probably reached Bor
neo by way of the Malay peninsula
from lower Burma. Rigid discipline
Is characteristic of the domestic me
nage, resulting In good manners and
recognition of authority.
For a good many years Sarawak
was under the Independent govern
ment of a white rajah, Sir Charles
Brooke, who controlled his mingled
subjects with unusual wisdom and
sympathy. Among other far-sighted
edicts he instituted stringent game
laws, so that the island Is one of the
best protected parts of the world In
this respect. Birds, beasts and butter
flies are protected, not more than two
specimens of any one species being
allowed to the*collector. In this way
the very beautiful and rare trees nnd
insects of the country are being main
tained for the enjoyment of future
generations.
Another wise move of the rajah
was to continue the native costume—
what there is of it—in place of intro
ducing the unsuitable, ugly and arti
ficial modern clothing of Europeans.
This, as Stevenson points out, has
usually exactly the opposite effect
from that intended by well-meaning
missionaries, and the happy natives of
Sarawak are very well off as they are.
GOOD WORK WITH CAMERA
Explorers In Northwestern Canada
Have Photographic Studies of
Wilderness Wild Life.
After a three years’ hunt with the
camera In the almost unknown Laird
river district In northwestern Canada,
H. A. Stewart and John Sonnlckson
have come back to civilization by way
of Peace river, Alberta, bringing sev
eral thousand photographic studies of
the manners and customs of the wild
life of those remote woods and
streams. The explorers, for they well
deserve the name, worked Into the
wilderness by way of Hudson’s Hope
and the forks of the Findlay and
Parsnip rivers ns far ns Fort Gra
hame. Their negatives illustrate the
habits of the ptarmigan, moose, beav
er, Canadian wild geese and other an
imals and birds that have seldom been
observed with anything like thorough
ness by means of the camera. The
travelers had devices of various sorts
whereby their subjects were enticed
to spots upon which the hidden lenses
were focused; and upon reaching
these spots nn ambushed camera man
"snapped” them by twitching a long
cord attached to the lens shutter. A
single negative of some specially shy
animal was often the only fruit of
many hours of patient waiting. Some
times for days the explorers would
watch a single spot through their field
glasses awaiting the favorable mo
ment to “shoot.” But It was all
worth it.

Gleaning the Stumps.
The rapfd decrease in the number of
frail stumps which have been so fa
miliar to the traveler through the coast
hills of Oregon, is regarded ns on In
dication of their .approaching extinc
tion. Hitherto some 20 feet of each
stump has been left standing, silent
relics of former monarchs of the forest,
too thick for most saws to compass
and too full of pitch to suit the saw
mills, But now the need for timber Is
greater and men no longer climb high
up on to boards thrust into notches In
the trunk to suit tlie saw and the saw
mill. They have learned thrift and
they cut tow down lest good luml>er
be uselessly wasted. Only ns a record
of past wastefulness are the tall
stumps with their deep notches still
visible.
A Filipino Vassar.
What the occidental ideals of univer
sal opportunities of education are to
mean to women of the Orient takes on
a large significance with the estab
lishment In the Philippines of a uni
versity for girls only. This university
Is to be part of an educational group
called Centro Escolor de Senorltas,
where until now tlie Instruction to
girls has been only in the primary,
secondary and intermediate grades,
'That this Filipino Vassar will develop
traditions charar^eristic of girls’ col
leges in the United States cannot be
doubted by anyone who hns observed
how wholeheartedly though shyly, girl
students from the Orient have en
tered into the undergraduate studies,
festivities and pastimes nt American
colleges.
Coquelin’s Memory.
"How many parts do you know well
enough to play tonight If need be?”
somebody asked Coquelin. He took a
sheet of paper and wrote down the
names of 53 plays of his repertoire.
His friends laughed.
“You are boasting surely, mon ami?”
said the Viscomte de Lovenjoul.
"You have every one of these play*
in your library,” said Coquelin quietly.
“Get them all out and put them on the
table.” The viscomte did so. “Now,”
said Coquelin, “let nnybody select a
cue from any one of these plays at hap
hazard and give It to me.”
They tried him with 16 plays out of
the 63 and he never missed a single cue
or made one mistake.—Fortnightly Re
view.
G. A. R. PLEASES SENATE.
Washington, Sept. 22.—Adoption by
the Grand Army of the Republic at its
annual encampment at Columbus,
Ohio, of resloutions condemning the
League of Nations has created a pro
found impression upon the Senate,
now discussing the entire peace treaty.
The action of the veterans is par
ticularly significant because they have
for fifty years been the wards of Con
gress and have had in the past a
nation-wide political influence. They
have steed for Amei'ica against any
weakening force. Their latest action
will, it is expected, have an influence
upon their successors in the newly
formed American Legion of veterans
of the war against Germany.
This is only one of many manifesta
tions of sentiment against the league
as it now stands. These have been
pouring in upon members of the
Senate almost daily, both in resolu
tions and letters from constituents.
As Representative Ricketts, of Ohio,
puts it: “It would be incorrect to
state that sentiment throughout the
country on the League of Nations is
changing. It already has changed.”
With the Democratic desertions of
the President’s standard, it is antici
pated that there will be sufficient votes
to put through all Republican commit
tee reservations.
Futures.
“When I grow up,” said clever lit
tle Uriah Ninison, “I'm a gonna write
a book, and if you’re real good I’ll put
you in it.”
“And if I’m bad?” queried Aloysius

“Then I’ll build a jail and put you
in that.”—Youngstown Telegram.
The Survivor.
Little Marie was sitting on her
grandfather’s knee one day, and after
looking at him intently for a time she
said “Grandpa, were you in the
ark ? ”
“Certainly not, my dear,” answered
the astonished old man.
“Then, why weren’t you drowned?”

“How was the play?”
“Well, they had a millionaire pro
ducer playing the part of a butler and
he overshadowed the rest of the cast."
A Good Word.

We’ve seen a romance make a hit
Entirely on account of it.
We have no other word, ’tis clear,
So good for lending atmosphere.

PROFIT BY THIS
Don’t Waste Another Day.
When you are worried by backache;
By lameness and urinary disorders—
Don’t experiment with an untried
medicine.
Follow O’Neill people’s example.
Use Dogn’s Kidney Pills.
Here's O’Neill testimony.
Verify it if you wish:
Mrs. A. Sanders, says: “I was hav
ing a great deal of backache. It was
such a steady, tiring ache as to about
wear me out and I felt weak, run down
and nervous. Not until my kidneys
began acting irregularily did I know
what was causing the trouble. I had
heard about Doan’s Kidney Pills, so
1 bought some at Gilligan & Stout’s
Drug Store. I received relief quickly
and I have had no need to use them
since.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Sanders had. Foster-Milburn

SPRAGUE—The Hand-Built Tire
Sprague Tires are hand-built throughout. That’s one reason why u
they give you more mileage—why they are so much cheaper in the K
end. In the making of these tires, human hands place layer upon K
layer, first of fabric and then of rubber. Their work is inspected Ni
and re-inspected many times. It must be perfect. Machines could p
turn out tires faster. But machines could not give you the high 15
quality workmanship that you have learned to expect in Sprague Tires'P
R
Sprague’s Are Built of the Best Materials v
P»it PARA RUBBER ,rl'h88t *"d ,1,ost
costly ot all, goes
into every Sprague Tire. Tires using 40 to GO
per cent pure Para Rubber are considered good
tires. Sprague tread and sidewalls are 70 per
cent pure Para Rubber. Is it any wonder that
they wear longer and give you better service
while they wear?
Sprague Tires have an extra ply of fabric.
They weigh from three to five pounds more
than ordinary tires.
SEA ISLAND FABRIC T*°
of the %
strongest cotton that grows, is
used exclusively in Sprague
Tires. The Sea Island cotton used
in these tires costs more, but it means far
greater mileage—and mileage is the measure of
a tire’s worth.
Not only is thel best fabric used, but the life
of this fabric is not stretched out of it in an
effort to make it build more tires.
Sprague Tires have proved by their performance that quality materials, backed by
quality workmanship, are cheaper in the end. Test them against the best tires you
now have and you'll soon appreciate the economy of Spragues.
