Greece Seems Determined to Have Another War With Turkey Over Reparations. Baldwin British Preminer has a selection to succeed Bonar Law prevented by Laborites—Communists Seize Towns in the Ruhr—Socialists at Hamburg Form International of the World. By EDWARD W. PICKARD - GREECE declares she will not pay reparations to the Turks for the war in Anatolia in which she was defeated, and that she will fight again if the demand is not withdrawn. Do you think she is justified in assuming this position? AT THIS distance it looks as if Greece were getting herself in bad, absolutely refusing to pay Turkey reparations, either in cash or in territorial concessions along the Maritza, and threatening to quit the Lausanne conference and resume hostilities unless the Turkish demands are withdrawn? Is it not so firm as Venizelos and has formally asked for Horace Rumbold what the attitude of Great Britain will be in case the war between Turkey and Greece is renewed? Horace, aided by the French, has been trying to find ground for compromise, suggesting that Turkey be given Karagatch, the west bank of the Maritza and the railway from Karagatch to Constantinople, in lieu of cash. Turks did not reply definitely, but Greeks asserted, informally, that they would make no such offer. eanwhile both sides are preparing for warfare. The Greek army in Greece, which Henry J. Allen says numbers 200,000 men, is lined up along the Maritza and the threat is that it will march against Constantinople. A considerable Greek fleet is cruising about the entrance to the Dardanelles, and the Turkish government has lodged with the British a protest against its presence there. The Turks assert that Greece wants war, they are ready, and that their troops in Anatolia can march Constantinople in two days. It would take the Greek army at least fifteen days even without opposition. One Turkish general is quoted saying: “The Turks feel certain that Greece will not start a fight with its allied support. For this reason, Turkish officials are threatening Mosul and Syria, and those provoking or encouraging the Greeks to attack Constantinople should take this into consideration.” The Turks, it is said, either have destroyed or are ready to destroy all the bridges over the Maritza. It is known that they have mined the bridge that connects Karagatch with Adrianople, Bulgaria is watching developments in Thrace with a keen eye. She has concentrated a large force on the border and if hostilities break out is expected to make a dash southward in the hope of obtaining the outlet to the sea which she has been claiming. ANDREW BONAR LAW, his health not improved by a trip to France, resigned as prime minister of Great Britain. This, while not unexpected, was sudden and the Conservative party leaders were considerably exercised over the danger of a split. The two chief candidates for the premiership were Lord Curzon, minister for foreign affairs, and Stanley Baldwin, chancellor of the exchequer. Curzon's claim probably was best in normal circumstances, but as he is in the house of peers, where the Labor party—the opposition—has no representative, the aborites threatened to make the parliamentary government impossible if he were chosen. They objected to him to reduce the Swedish army. Proposition put forward by commission which has been long considering the subject. Stockholm,—A reduction of the Swedish army by half, and a considerable reduction of the number of all Swedish vessels except those of the battleship class has been recommended to the government by a special commission on the revision of the national defense policy. Also because they feared his Russian policy would lead to war. So Curzon, prevented from realizing his greatest ambition, was compelled to step aside and Baldwin was offered and accepted the position. This, it would appear, was fortunate for Great Britain and gratifying to the world at large, for Baldwin gives promise of being a more accomplished and skillful statesman than the arrogant Lord Curzon. He is fairly acceptable to the Labor party in England, and certainly his appointment is pleasing to France, which blames Curzon for much of the trouble she has had in the Ruhr occupation and for the threatened break with Belgium over the methods to be pursued there. In Washington, Mr. Baldwin created a decidedly favorable impression by the way in which he conducted the negotiations for the funding of the British war debt to America. He is pre-eminently a business man with a knowledge of finances that was displayed best by the budget which, as chancellor of the exchequer, he submitted to parliament not long ago. At this writing, Baldwin has not completed his cabinet, but it is said there will be few changes. Curzon will remain as secretary for foreign affairs. Lord Robert Cecil, protagonist for the League of Nations, will probably be given a portfolio as chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster. AS WAS predicted a week ago, the danger of a rupture of relations between Great Britain and Russia is fading away. Leonid Krassin presented to Lord Curzon last Wednesday a note in which the Soviet government yields to nearly all the British demands and says it thus yields, not because it thinks it was in the wrong, but because a break between the two countries would endanger the general peace by creating a basis for “the aggressive aims of the militarist elements in most countries, even independently of the will of the British government.” Prime Minister Baldwin, it may be said, does not regard the soviets so unfavorably as does Lord Curzon. POSSIBLY directed by Russian agents, the communists in the Ruhr decided last week that the time for direct action had come. In Gelsenkirchen, after bloody fights with the police, they seized the police headquarters and hoisted the red flag, and in Dortmund there was another desperate conflict. A general strike, nominally against the cost of food, is in effect in the Ruhr and is spreading rapidly. In some towns, commissions of control forced the dealers to reduce prices. Communist leaders say men of all parties have joined in the strike. It was asserted by the German press that these disturbances were fostered by the French. To this the French retorted that their officials at Dusselorf had knowledge that Moscow had sent more than 20,000,000 Swiss francs to the Ruhr to further the scheme to create a Soviet republic, and that the Russians had also sent two shiploads of wheat for the use of The communists. The mobs were organized in units of 100 and were capably commanded. The French troops refused to interfere in the fights. FOURTEEN foreigners, including six Americans, are still held by the Chinese bandits of Suchow, and neither the Peking government nor the foreign powers seem able to devise a means for their safe release. Concerted action by the latter in the way of direct negotiations with the outlaws is urged. The Chinese troops have been withdrawn some miles from the lair of the bandits in response to their demands, but the latter are suspicious and insist that the powers guarantee that all the pledges of the government will be carried out. Majors Pinger and Allen of the American army and Lee Solomon are confined on the summit of a mountain. ENTERTAINING, though really of no vast importance, is the fight against liberalism that William Jennings Bryan and his fellow fundamentalists have been putting up in the Presbyterian general assembly in Indianapolis. Bryan failed of election as moderator but was exceedingly active in the debates. He brought up his pet bugbear, the Darwinian theory of evolution, and offered a resolution. The plan proposed by the commission calls for an annual total appropriation of about $38,000,000 for the army and the navy, as against about twice that amount under the present policy. This reduction is to be effected by abolishing seven regiments of infantry, four regiments of cavalry and one regiment of artillery, and by requiring a smaller number of companies to make up a regiment. The army would thus consist of twenty-one regiments of infantry, five of cavalry, nine of artillery and thirteen barring the teaching of it in any institution supported by the Presbyterian church. After a hot discussion, this was rejected in favor of another, much milder and more liberal. In the next big contest, Bryan and his followers won a signal victory. This was over the reports of the committee on bills and overtures on the case of Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of New York, accused of liberalism amounting to heresy. The majority report dodged the issue, recommending that it be deferred for a year. It was signed by all but one member. Doctor Maclenan of Philadelphia brought in a minority report making provision for the New York Presbytery, which is conducting an investigation into the Fosdick case, to report its action in full transcript to the one hundred and thirty-sixth general assembly next year. The report also reaffirmed the utterance of the general assembly of 1910 to pronouncements made upon the virgin birth of Christ and other points of the doctrine of the denomination. This minority report was finally adopted by a vote of 439 to 359. The assembly adopted a plan for the reorganization of the thirteen boards and agencies into four boards, and endorsed the report of the committee of nine laymen to help in securing an adequate endowment for the care of retired ministers and widows and orphans. FORMER JUSTICE DAY found the work of umpire of the American-German mixed claims commission was too strenuous and resigned last week. Judge E. B. Parker, member of the commission, was named to succeed him. The American war claims against Germany filed with the commission total almost one and a half billion dollars. The United States government is the largest claimant, asking $336,113,000, and the smallest claim is for $1 which a former prisoner of war asks for loss of property. The claims by individuals, growing out of the sinking of the Lusitania, total $22,806,000 and were the first taken up by the commission. SOCIALISTS from every important country met in Hamburg and formed a new organization known as the Socialists’ Internationale of the World, the Vienna Internationale and the Second Internationale uniting. Only the more radical representatives from Russia and the Baltic states dissented, and they were left out. Socialism is thus given a more united front than it has had since the Copenhagen convention of 1910, in the opinion of the delegates. America was represented by Victor Berger, Morris Hillquit and Judge Rankin Morris Berman. The Socialist Party of America, meeting in New York, rejected overtures from the Farmer-Labor party and the Workers’ Party of America to join in a nationwide labor party movement, but decided to continue its participation in the work for progressive political action “for the purpose of forming independent political labor parties” in the different states, without “the loss of integrity or the political standing of the Socialist party.” In both Hamburg and New York the Socialists directed attacks on the Italian Fascisti. That organization encountered its first serious trouble last week when great numbers of its members in the Naples district tendered their resignations en masse. These. Men quit because the Fascisti had joined forces with the Nationalists, to whom they always have been bitterly opposed. BEN W. HOOPER was re-elected chairman of the United States railway labor board last Wednesday. Voluntary wage increases aggregating several hundred thousand dollars annually were reported to the board by many roads. The Pennsylvania system increased the wages of 55,000 shopmen by about $4,000,000 annually. AN INTERNATIONAL banking group, the American unit of which is headed by J. P. Morgan & Co., has arranged with the Mexican government a plan for the adjustment of the Mexican public debt. The American and Mexican commissioners who are arranging for resumption of diplomatic relations are making good progress, but their task will probably keep them busy for another month. The regiments of engineers, army supply service, etc. Of the recruits called up annually, 15,600 men would serve for a period of six to twelve months in the first line of the army, 27,000 men for a period of two to three months would be in the immediate reserves and 3,000 men would serve in the navy. Thus, Sweden, by calling up ten classes of the army and navy, would bring upward of 500,000 men into action. Annual appropriation for the navy is cut from 70,000,000 kroner to about 40,000,000, or about $10,000,000. EAGLE RIVER REVIEW, EAGLE RIVER, WIS. GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS FEAR IT WILL LEAD CONGRESS INTO EXTRAVAGANCE. DEFICIT INDUCES ECONOMIES Senator Smoot, Foreseeing Passage of the Soldiers’ Bonus Bill, Thinks That the Present Taxation Rates Cannot Soon Be Lowered. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—It may suggest pessimism, a disposition to knock, and some other ungracious acts and conditions of mind, but old-time government officials in Washington seem to think that if there is a surplus shown of government income over expenses in this fiscal year, congress next winter may seize the surplus, if it only be of a dime’s size, to encourage it in extravagant appropriations. The word today is that there probably will be a surplus of $200,000,000 remaining after the government expenses for the fiscal year ending June 30 have been cleared up. It is of course possible that this is too large an estimate, but the present indications are that the excesses of income over expenses will be about the amount that has been named. Senator Smoot of the senate finance committee recently had no illusions or delusions. He has invited criticism and near-wrath by suggesting that he sees no marked signs in the future of relief from present-day taxation rates. The Utah gentleman has been in the senate a good many years, and financiers generally regard him as having a long vision, and, except, perhaps, when it comes to certain tariff schedules, a long head. Deficit Leads to Economy. A deficit, of course, is a bad thing, but where the deficit is just under the breaking-even line it is a better thing, according to the viewpoint of some of the government officials, than is a surplus that goes a dollar or two over the breaking-even line. A deficit, whether it amounts to ten cents or ten billion dollars, always is used by the directors in chief of government functions as a text for insisting on economy. Congressmen know, also, that the country, hearing of a deficit, becomes insistent that expenditures be kept down, but they also know that the country, hearing of a surplus, pays little attention to the amount thereof and becomes willing, and at times, urgent, that money be spent on things which the various localities have an idea that they need. The surplus and deficit have been playing see-saw for some time. The hailing of the first pronouncement of a surplus hardly had time to become an echo before the wailing over an announced deficit sounded on the taxpayers’ ears. Then the teeter went the other way and surplus bobbed up once more. It looks today as if it were to stay up for the rest of the fiscal year, which has about seven weeks yet to run. John Thomas Taylor, one of the legislative representatives of the American Legion, declares that the bonus bill will be passed at the next session, and that votes enough are assured to overcome a presidential veto. There are some evidences in the country that the bonus bill will be pushed to a passage, and evidences also that Major Taylor is right in his estimate of enough votes to make a veto of no avail. Senator Smoot apparently knew the situation, for in his recent statement he took notice of the seeming certainty of the enactment of the bonus bill into law and, although not ordinarily a dreamer, he saw visions of pension bills of another kind yet to come. Congress May Get Extravagant. It is not necessary to be antagonistic to bonus legislation to know that its passage will wipe out a surplus and will add something to the taxes which today are not featherweights. There are other things, however, than bonus bills to give rather somber thoughts to government officials bent on economy, provided the end of the fiscal year shall witness the declaration of a fairly substantial surplus. Even when the balance was on the wrong side last year, congressmen, irrespective of party, did not show always a strong leaning toward economy. The rivers and harbors bill which was glued on the army bill, represented an extravagance, and congress probably knew it when in order to save the appropriation’s life it made it a part of one of the greatest and absolutely necessary appropriation measures. The fear in Washington among government officials is that with a surplus written either large or small in the records, congress next year will make the treasury report the excuse for legislation something more than colored with extravagance. Women of North and South Unite. An event of historic importance and charged with sincere American sentiment has just taken place in Washington, where for the first time since the Civil War days the Woman’s Relief Corps of the Grand Army of the Republic and the United Daughters of the Confederacy have met in joint session. The occasion of the meeting was the unveiling and dedication of a stained glass window of rare beauty which the two organizations combined to give to the American Red Cross for insertion in the great window frame. CANNED! It was agreed that they were to have oysters for supper. She bought them and he found them when he got home—if he can. He explained that he did not care for cove oysters, and took them back. Obtaining credit for them he went to another store and called for fresh oysters. A clerk brought them forth—in a can. Again he explained that he did not care for cove oysters. The clerk informed him that they were fresh, being received in the main assembly hall of the national headquarters of the Red Cross in this city. A joint committee of the two organizations of women met to select a day for the presentation of the window and they fixed upon the anniversary of the opening in 1899 of the first peace conference at the Hague. In a sense, the window is a war window, and yet its dedication in a way is to the cause of peace. Some years ago congress authorized the erection in Washington of a building which was to be used by the workers of the American Red Cross. It seems fitting that the first meeting of the two great organizations of women representing the North and the South and dedicated to commemorating the sacrifices of the war between the states should have been held in a building erected as the inscription over one of its portals proclaims: “In Memory of the Heroic Women of the Civil War.” How the Windows Were Provided. The cornerstone of the Red Cross building was laid in 1914 and the structure was completed just on the eve of America’s entrance into the World war. The plans called for three great illuminated windows to break the white marble facade of the building. It was the suggestion of Miss Mabel T. Boardman, secretary of the American Red Cross, that the Woman’s Relief corps in the North and the United Daughters of the Confederacy in the South should each erect one of two of the windows. The money quickly was raised and orders were placed for the windows. In the case of these two windows, first placed the women of the South raised the money for one and the women of the North raised the money for the other. They were acting at the same time but not jointly, for each had a separate “window mission” to perform. When the question of raising the money to meet the cost of the great middle window was presented for answer, it was a Mississippi woman, Mrs. A. McKimbrough, who made the suggestion that the women of the North and the women of the South should unite in its erection. This suggestion was adopted enthusiastically by the women of the two sections and the great central window has been placed in the presence of a gathering of women representatives of two sections of the country which once engaged in war, one against the other. This new stained glass window presents a striking portrayal of a medieval Red Cross knight rescuing a wounded companion. The Knights stand in the center of the window and forms its chief figure. Other details of the window lend themselves readily, if subordinately, to the general scheme of beauty and effectiveness. Memorial Trees in Washington. Trees today are doing memorial duty in the capital of the nation. It is recognized that one almost certain way to save trees from vandalism is to dedicate them to the memory of individual American patriots. Within a few days, 39 additional memorial trees have been planted in this city, to add to the great number already casting their grateful shade over the warming earth. Officials of the state government of Massachusetts and the mayors of 39 cities of the Old Commonwealth came here recently to plant a tree for each city in memory of Abraham Lincoln. These trees are now taking root and developing their foliage near the great marble memorial recently erected in honor of the rail splitter President. It was left to the members of the American Legion to evolve a beautiful plan to honor the memory of the men of the District of Columbia who fell in battle. Sixteenth street, once renamed the Avenue of the Presidents but now simply Sixteenth street again, is lined with magnificent trees from Lafayette square all the way to the point where the street ascends to the crest of a commanding hill, then to pursue its level way for a space until it dips down into a beautiful valley. Tree for Each Dead Hero. The Legionnaires of the District undertook the work of planting hardy trees along the newer part of Sixteenth Street, the part which has been extended from the point where the section of denser population ended in the days not long gone. These trees have been growing for three years and they are sturdy specimens of forest growth. Each tree is dedicated to the memory of a man who gave his life for “his country in the war which closed Armistice day, and at the base of each is a tablet bearing the name of the hero, in whose honor it was planted. On Decoration day a flag with a cluster of poppies is attached to each tablet. This memorial plan of the Legionnaires of the District attracted wide attention, and now it is reported that Legion posts throughout the country have taken the idea unto themselves and are setting out trees in memory of the fallen dead. A tree makes a noble monument, and if it is properly chosen and properly treated it will grow and thrive through several generations. It can always be replaced without great cost; it is always beautiful and it always receives the sanction of the fine arts commission, which is put to it sometimes to decide whether or not a memorial of marble or bronze is worthy of emplacement.

NEEDS OF THE HOUR What the railroads need is a night watchman to arouse public attention to the necessity for railway expansion in the construction of new lines, more locomotives, freight cars and terminal facilities. It is deplorable that there has been a decrease of over 2,200 miles of road in the United States since 1916, that there were more locomotives retired than installed in 1922, that the replacement of new for old freight cars has not averaged over eighty percent a year, and that passenger equipment is equally behind in the matter of new cars. In the face of these handicaps, the railways are being managed so efficiently that they are handling a greater volume of traffic than was ever known for the first three months of the year. Under such conditions, car shortages are inevitable. Railway managers, however, are not discouraged, but on faith are ordering new equipment and other facilities at an unprecedented rate. Rate, That faith must rest on the belief that a few radical politicians cannot fool the people all the time. The Federal Constitution gives the railways the right to earn a fair return upon the fair value of their property devoted to transportation. The LaFollette Federal Valuation Act has dried up the old cry of “Water! Water!” and gives assurance to the public of a valuation based on law and facts. In cooperation with the State Railroad Commissions, the Interstate Commerce Commission has lately found the value of the railways as of December 31, 1921, to be $19,412,201,000, and has fixed 53, % as a fair return thereon. This should result in a net operating income of $1,116,000,000. The railways can earn this return if the radicals will stop tearing up their rails and give them a trial. Rates and wages have reached an equitable standard which, if maintained, will yield satisfactory and progressive results. If wages go up, 50% must rates; and if rates go down, 50% must wages. Present rates do not restrict traffic and are not out of proportion to the value of the goods transported. When prices, wages, and fuel costs approach pre-war levels, it will be time to talk of readjusting rates and wages. Team work between the public, the railways, and their employees is the transportation need of the hour. The foregoing facts call for serious consideration and should make an appeal to all thinking persons. —Advertisement. A Palace of Kings.

While the woman's vote is confidently expected to—and probably will—clean up politics, it must be admitted that there are times when temptations, increased by a lifetime of bargain hunting, have almost irresistible. A man at the last election was attempting to sell his vote, but the woman candidate refused firmly to be a party to bribery and corruption. "No, sir," she said. "I will not give you a dollar for it. It is not worth it." "Take it for 95 cents, lady," urged the man. "Why didn't you say that before?" she asked. But then honor triumphed. "No," she continued, "Not even if you offered to vote twice for a dollar seventy-five."—Exchange. N NEED SWAMP-ROOT Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it.
