The best test of any medicine is what
It has done for others. For nearly fifty

Paris, Sept. 25.—With British war
ships pacing the * Dardanelles and
dozens of transports loaded with Bri
tish regular troops steaming under
forced draught towards Chanak, the
whole Islamic world is ready to
spring to the standard of revolt at
the signal of Mustapha Kemal, in
spired leader of Mussulmen.
Hundreds of messages are pouring
into the Turkish headquarters at
Smyrna from far quarters of the Bri
tish empire pledging allegiance to the
nationalist leader.
Dispatches through diplomatic
sources from Egypt and India indi
cate that elaborate preparations have
been completed by which the first
British gun fired against the Turks
will be the signal for revolt.
With this ominous situation con
fronting him Lloyd'George is hesitat
ing in pursuing his plan to make the
Dardanelles another Suez. At the
same time the British withdrawal
from Chanak, which would be lnter
preted^as a sign of weakening, is
not contemplated. Instead all efforts
of diplomats are concentrated in an
effort to persuade Kemal to hold his
victorious armies in check until the
peace congress can.be held.

WAR QUESTION AT STAKE.
Constantinople, Sept. 26.—The is
sue of peace or war depends on a
conference of the Kemalist ministers
now sitting at Smyrna. The an
nouncement that the British are pre
pared to discuss the question of
eastern Thrace has much Improved
the chances for peace.
Having seen all of the British prep
arations on the Asiatic side of the
neutral zone, 1 can state emphatical
ly that these are entirely defensive.
Formidable positions have been en
trenched at Chanak and Ismid, but
there Is no preparation of any kind
for an offensive.
Attack May Cause War.
War will only be brought about by
a Kemalist atack on our positions
with the object of crossing into
Thrace.
The announcement of the object of
the British defense of the straits is
misleading. It puts the case in the
wrong light.
The Kemalists desire to secure
eastern Thrace before the Greek
army is reformed. The reorganiza
tions of Greek troops in Thrace is
proceeding rapidly and the stories of
mutiny and disorder are exaggerated.
Kemal Is aware of this and is seek
ing to get Turkish officers across
the straits and the sea of Marmora
to organize bands of Thrace nation
alists. Bands from Constantinople
also are being sent and arms are be
ing smuggled in.
Admiral Brocks is stopping traf
fic from Asia across the sea of
Marmora. So far these efforts of
Turks have not been serious but any
withdrawal of British forces would
make them so.
Murder Plots Hatching.
The real reason for me British oc
cupation of the straits is to prevent
the Kemalists carrying the war into
Europe with consequneces of which
the disordered state of Anatolia is an
index, while rapine and murder would
certainly be let loose in Constantin
ople.
There is information that plots are
hatching for the murder of Christians
here. The information is definite, but
the plotters will not act as long as
the Allies show a firm front. This
alone Is Justification of British ac
tion, but it should be made clear that
we are acting to prevent war in Eur
ope and save the lives of Christians
and not to bolster up the claims of
the Greeks.
The Turkish and Greek cases should
be both heard fairly, particularly as
regards the Thrace question. The
policy which has brought about the
present dangerous situation can be
considered later.

EXTRA CALL

President Harding Insists on
November Session Because
3f Ship Subsidy Legisla
tion.
Universal Service.
Washington, Sept. 25.—Efforts to
persuade President Harding not to
call an extra session of congress on
November 15 have failed completely,
It was officially stated Sunday.
The president regards ship subsidy
legislation of such importance to the
country that he has refused to give
ground before the strong pressure
against an extra session. Most of
this opposition to an extra session
has come from congressional leaders,
who fear little could be accomplished
in the brief period between November
15 and the time for convening the
regular session the first Monday In
Decetiiber.
The president, however, is known
to be of the opinion that considerable
progress on the ship subsidy bill can
be made in that time so that when
the regular session convenes all the
preliminary discussion will be out of
the way.
Bill Favorably Reported.
A spokesman for, the administra
tion stated Sunday that the president
will not object to minor modifications
of the subsidy legislation as outlined
in his message to congress several
months ago. But Harding will in
sist that the imi sratlve need -of a
subsidy meet with the favorable at
tention of congress.
The ship subsidy bill already has
been favorably reported from the
committee and is in the calendar of
the House. The plan of action
counted upon by the administration
is to have the House dispose of the
bill in the period between November
15 and the new session in December.
Then the Senate, while awaiting the
enactment of the appropriation bill in
the House would have sufficient time
finally to dispose of subsidy legisla
tion.
Hostility Wiped Out.
At the White House it was stated
that reports from all sections of the
country indicates that the former
hostility to a subsidy has been com
pletely wiped out. In it’s place is a
growing conviction among the rank
and file of voters that on an adequate
merchant marine depends the future
commercial prosperity and safety o;
the country.
The situation as viewed by the
president was outlined by an ad
ministration spokesman Sunday who
said:
’’The president has had many com
munications from all parts of the
country from voluntary workers for
an adequate merchant marine. He is
pleased to find, in place of the former
hostility, a most cordial acceptance
of the proposition. There now exists a
different condition than we have
ever had before. We htfve got the
ships now, and their operation is
costing more than a subsidy would
cost. *
"We are not concerned with the
fact that the rest of the commercial
world does not sympathize with our
motives. That is to be expected.”
It is believed at the White House
that the marked change in sentiment
throughout the country will have the
desired effect in convincing congress
to rush through the subsidy legis
lation.

Some More Truths.
\X70tJLD you use a steam shovel to move a pebble? Certainly not. Implements
are built ac cording to the work they have to do.
Would you use a grown-up’s remedy for your baby’s ills? Certainly not.
Remedies are prepared according to the work THEY have to do.
All this is preliminary to reminding you that Fletcher’s Castoria was sought ■
out, found and is prepared solely as a remedy for Infants and Children. And let t
this be a warning against Substitutes, Counterfeits and the Just-as-good stuff that
may be all right for you in all your strength, but dangerous for the little babe.
All the mother-love that lies within your heart cries out to you: Be true to
Baby. And being true to Baby you will keep in the house remedies specially
prepared for babies as you would a baby’s food, hairbrush, toothbrush or sponge.

Children Cry For
Are You Prepared?
A doctor in the house all the time would be a good idea. Yet you
can’t afford to keep a doctor in the family to keep baby well or pre
vent sickness. But you can do almost the same thing by having at
hand a bottle of Fletcher’s Castoria, because it is a wonderful remedy
for indigestion, colic, feverishness, fretfulness and all the other dis
orders that result from common ailments that babies have.
Fletcher’s Castoria is perfectly safe to use. It is a harmless sub
stitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups. Children
cry for Fletcher’s Castoria. and mothers recommend it because they
have found it a comfort to children and a mother’s friend.
If you love your baby, you know how sweet it is to be able to
help baby when trouble comes. You cannot always call upon a doctor.
But doctors have nothing but good to say of Fletcher’s Castoria, be
cause they know that it can only do good—that it can’t do any harm—
and they wouldn’t want you to use for baby a remedy that you would
use for yourself. *
