The division of the remnant of Turkey into spheres of British, French and Italian economic influence is, in a way, a frank partition of the spoils of war in regions where self-determination, if it could be invoked at all in the case of the Turk, would give little support to a scheme like this. But citizens of a nation (the United States) which had the opportunity to re organize this part of the Near Bast pretty much as it pleased can hardly avert the moral eye if others take up the work after our refusal. We might have dons it better, but we would not do it at all. British, French and Italian diplomats are going about it in the only way they know. For Anatolia and the regions to the east comprise seme districts of great natural wealth, which will never bd developed if left to the Turk. Ger many was beginning to develop them before the war, and the present parti tion is evidently inspired by a long look ahead to a time when Germany or Russia might be in a position to do the work and turn what is left of Turkey against the western powers. A good argument could be made in justification of the arrangement on the ground of self-defense. Whether practical good will come of it is another matter. Doubtless there is great wealth awaiting development. The French sphere includes Cilicia and southern Kurdistan. Kurdistan, then, is to remain autonomous, or, as the agreemen puts it, “eventually" independent. This represents the residue of the extensive French spheres outlined in the Sykes-Picot agreement of 1916. The oil fields of Mosul have faded out of the picture; by some process which the French public still finds it hard to understand, they have been swallowed up in Mesopotamia. In what is left to France there is considerable mineral wealth; there is also a population of which the Armenian part leans toward the French when French troops are at hand as a protection against the Turks. When the Armenians have to shift for themselves, as they have had to do lately, there is no particular love for France among them. The Turks have fought the French or made truces according to their conveniences and that of Gen eral Gouraud, who also has the Arabs of Syria on his hands. But a nucleus of enthusiasts for the French connection, such as exists in Syria, is not there. The French sphere of influence means that for some years to come considerable bodies of troops' will have to be maintained in these parts of the Near East. For the next few years, at any rate, the French sphere will cost more than It is worth. Italy will get the valuable coal mines of Herakleia, which the Italians need. An Italian concession for their exploitation waq one of the earliest ideas raised at the peace conference as compensation for the surrender or the Dodecanesus to Greece. There is little to be said against this part of the arrangement except that in the present state oi feeling in Asia Minor the Italians, too, are likely to have to maintain considerable overseas garri sons at a time when Italian public sentiment is cold to such enterprises. The agreement specifies the French and Italian spheres of influence, and Paris draws the inference that England is to take everything that is left. But this, too, Is an expensive acquisition. Half the British people seem to be disposed to cut loose from Mesopotamia, oil wells and all; it costs too much to carry the overhead charges. The residue which presumably will fall under British economic influence can be separated generally into three great divisions—that which it at present held by the Greeks, that which is controlled by the faction of Mustapha Kemal, and Kurdistan. The British need Kurdistan as a strategic protection for Mesopotamia, but any very heavy expenditure on the country is unthinkable. Mustapha Kemal and his party are still virtually at war with England, and nothing could be done in their mountainous fastnesses without some preliminary fighting that would be hard and costly. There is left that part of western Anatolia which was reconquered by the Greeks in the early summer. That campaign waa carried on with Brit ish assistance, and the political relations between England and Greece are excellent just now. If Venizelos remains in power, those relations will con tinue. But this is a matter of economic development. The territories lib erated by the Greek armies are those tvhere the Greek population is most numerous. Once freed from the Turk, the Greeks will probably look after most of the economic development of the country themselves. British cap ital can be put to work, but beyond that Britain will probably find little profit. It looks as if the great powers are undertaking a work that will re quire heavy investments of men and money that canned well be spared, and that it will be a kmg time before they begin to get any return. PIGEON IS CLEVER AND IS RESPECTABLE From New York Sun. An onithologist has been studying the flight of pigeons. He says: “The domestic pigeon is such a fa miliar sight in our streets that we don't he If appreciate its beauty and cleverness. It flies in military forma tion, evidently following a supremely skillful leader of stunts. The flPCSt, sometimes 40 or 50 strong, man euvers as a unit, constantly attack ing more difficult evolutions. “First, they will practise the Joyous and dizzy cuhves, full of unexpected twists, Tfi which an occasional unwary one becomes a straggler from the flock, at a great height above the city. Then suddenly their indistinguishable leader wm sweep them down to the dangerous vicinity of roofs and chim neys and lead them through a mazy obstacle race, which must make the brains of the young binds dizzy. I don’t know whether a pigeon is ever dashed to death against brickwork or masonry, but such is the peril that faces the weaklings of those gruelling tests of efficiency. “The pigeon has other important claims on our respect. For instance, he marries one wife only, and if she ' behaves herself he lives with her happily for a lifetime. He helps her build the nest, hatch the eggs and feed the young. During the breeding season he and she secrete a milky fluid in their crops to moisten the « food they give to their babies. They ' are vegetarians, they are peaceable, intelligent and resourceful; In fact, if you remembered all their virtues you’d never eat roast squab again." Accidents to Children. From the Springfield Union. Official records showing that no fewer than 15,000 children were killed by acci dents In the United States In the year 1919 emphasize the need of more stren uous campaigning along the lines of public safety. Most of all is educational work among the children themselves a prime necessity, as so many of them, through heedlessness, Invite the acci dents of which they are victims. Play ing in roadways whgre automobile traffic is heavy is one prolific source of such accidents, and crossing the high ways without locating to the right or left to see if the way is clear Is another. Parents and school teachers could do much to lessen the number of accidents due to these causes by constantly im pressing on the minds of their children the danger of such practices.

Almost every mother keeps her boy In “knee pants” just as long as she con; she hates to see him becoming a man, for she feels that he is getting away froiq her. A mother sees only flrlth reluctance the boy pnss from the love and care and peace with which she has sur rounded him, out Into the world of pitiless endeavor In which ho must play his part. The mother's selfish fondness dis closes itelf In the lulicrous child's garment and the wortout, home-bred horse with which she sends forth the would-be knight. Theee are to the modern analytical mind painfully sym bolic of the unconscious Interference oti the part of parents with the proper adult equipment of their children fer an independent life. Their apparent •ondness conceals the unconscious wish that the child will find himself un equipped for greater world and compelled to turn back to the shelter. —New York Medical Journnl.
