Last Hopes
for Turks
Abandoned
Lloyd George Is Pessimistic
of Eastern Civilization—
} Says Lausanne Pact
Not Peace.
Monkey Bite Historical
London, July 28.—The Turk may be
a bad ruler but he is the prince of
anglers. The cunning and patience
■with which he lands the most refrac
tory fish, once he has hooked it, is
beyond compnre.
What inimitable play we have wit
nessed for six months on the shores
of Lake Leman! Once the fish seemed
to have broken the tackle—that was
when the first conference came to
0^**n abrupt end. It simply meant,
however, that the wily oriental was
giving out plenty of line. He knew
the moment would come when they
would return with the hook well In
their gullets and the play begin once
more—the reeling In and the reeling
out; the line sometimes taut and
strained, but never snapping.
Time and patience rewarded him.
At last the huge tarpon are lying
beached on the banks — Britain,
France, Italy and the United States,
high and dry—landed and helpless,
without a swish left In their tails,
glistening and gasping in the sum
mer sun.
Turks Can Angle Well.
It Is little wonder Ismet had a smile
on his face when all was over. Re
ports from Angora state that peace is
hailed there as a great Turkish tri
umph. And so it is. If the Turk
could govern as well as he angles, his
would be the most formidable em
pire In the world. Unfortunately be
is the worst of rulers, hence the
trouble—his own and that of those
who unhappily have drawn him as
governor in the lottery of life.
The able correspondent of the Lon
don Dally Telegraph at the Lausanne
confereno# supplied us from time to
time with vivid pen pictures of the
four greatest powers of the world
snuggling In the toils of the squalid
and broken remains of an empire
with an aggregate population equal
to that of a couple of English coun
p«*«tries I could name. This is what he
wrote a few days ago;
"The records of the conference
present an even more marvelous se
Hes of concessions and surrenders.
What was frayed before is thread
bare now. The allies have whittled
away their own rights with a lavish
hand In the cause of peace. The fig
ure that the European delegates are
cutting In Lausanne and the agents
of the concessionaires In Angora—all
alike representatives of the west—has
been rendered undignified as much by
the manner as by the matter of their
worsting.” .
Condition (trows Worse.
Since those distressing words were
written the powers have sunk yet
deeper into the slough of humilia
tion.
The Times correspondent, wiring
after the agreement, writes in a
strain of deep indignation at the blow
inflicted on the* prestige of the west
by this extraordinary treaty.
In order to gauge the extent of the
disaster to civilization which this
treaty Implies, it is only necessary to
give a short summary of the war
alms of the allies in Turkey. The ex
periences more especially of the past
century had demonstrated clearly
that the Turk could be no longer en
trusted with the property, honor or
lives of any Christian race within
his domains. So a series of agree
ments were entered Into in the early
months of 1915 between France, Rus
sia and ourselves by which the
^^•reater part of Turkey, with its con
^Sflomcrate population, was to be par
titioned at the end of the war.
Cilicia and Syria were allotted to
France, Mesopotamia to Britain and
Armenia and Constantinople to Rus
sia. Palestine was to be placed under
the Joint control of Britain and
France. Arabia was to be declared
independent, and territory carved
largely out of a desert—but Including
•oma famous cities of the east. Da
mascus, Homs and Aleppo—was to be
constituted Into a new Arab state

To the Railroad
Executives:
(Bdltorlal.)
You have before you a
chance to do a great public
service. Will you help the
farmers in their present emer
gency?
A great crop of wheat is
ready for market, under dis
couraging conditions. Some of
this wheat will, or should go
abroad. If it goes to other
countries, it must travel long
distances over the railroads.
A temporary reduction in
the freight rates on wheat ex
ported is asked. An emergency
rate, to give American wheat
a chance to get to the seaboard
for shipment to foreign con
sumers ahead of the flood that
soon will be poured out by
rival producers from other
countries.
All the grain growing region
of the middle west is concern
ed in this, and the concession
is asked by the people as a
contribution from the rail
roads to the general pros
perity of the territory they
serve.
The people have it in their
power to ask for this rate
through the I. C. C., but that
will entail delay in the pro
cess.
The railroad executives have
it in their power to make
the relief asked immediately
effective, by authorizing a re
duction of 25 per cent in the
all-rail rates to the seaboard
on wheat intended for ex
port. Because the executives
can do this without the de
lay that would follow if an
other course were taken, the
appeal- is made to them di
rect.
In other periods of stress
or calamity, the railroads
have done all they could to
aid in the general restoration
of good times. This is not a
national calamity, in the
usual acceptance of that
term, but it is a serious mat
ter to the wheat growers, who
constitute a large element of
the national industry. Will
the railroads remain deaf to
the farmers’ appeal?
We believe not, but in con
fidence address you on behalf
of the general community, the
citizens represented by the
various organizations, cham
bers of commerce and the
like, united in the movement
to secure the aid of the great
railroad systems of the coun
try at a time when a little
help counts double, because it
comes at a time when it is
needed.

to a grandstand full of members of the

their children, assembled on the fair
grounds here for a state picnic of that
order.
Making the most of lulls In the
whirl of low flying airplanes squatt

may have caused the crowd to miss
a few statistics, there was no Indica

Brookhart among the more than 5.000
people assembled from southeastern
Iowa to hear him.
Some of his address had the former
ring of his primary and November
campaign comments on the railroads
and the federal reserve bank, but the
travelogue features predominated.
