We were starting for Berea, after
the conference was over. Our driver
was leaving the city via Main street
with nineteen men in bis heavy bua.
Wa were passing the crossing of a
minor street at the rate of about ten or
twelve miles an hour when suddenly
tha Ford atempted to dash in front
of us at a break-neck speed. He
very nearly cleared us, but a rear
wheel caught In our front spring.
The old heavy bus waa somewhat
jarred but the Ford turned somer
saults and did the nose-dive and tail'
spin. The driver waa badly cut and
bruised and) probably received a
fractured skull. His two associates
were bruised. One received a badly
cut hand and face. Tha wounded
were sent to tba hospital. Tho Ford
waa completely wracked, for it relied
about 60 feet after hitting us.

tration'a program for rural credits
legislation became more definitely

the federal farm loan board.
Introduced by Senator Irvine L.

and long term loans to the extent of
at least $600,000,000.

J. R. Robertaoa, Profeaaor
History and Political Science
Berea College
The Conference of Lausanne con
tinues to struggle with tha problema
of the Near East, A Russian repre
sentative has rppcared In the person
of Tchitcherin and his influence
seems to strengthen Turkey's de
mands. At present the question of
the Bosphorua and the Dardanellea
foremost. The Allies and the U.
S. wish them fully free and open to
warships as well as to merchant ves
sels. Russia supports Turkey In her
desire for exclusive control and
wishes the straits closed to warships.
This la just the reverse of Russia's
policy in the past and at one time
she broke a treaty in order to rain
what she now opposes. A second de
mand of the Allies is the right of
special consular courts in Turkey to
try cases in which their subject are
involved. Turkey stands firm thus
far against such concession. Aa
both sides are holding out, but little
progress toward a settlement is be
ing made as yet.
While the diplomatic conference ia
going on at Lausanne, there ia great
restlessness among the people
About 170,000 of the non-Turkish pop
ulation have left Constantinople and
Thrace is being deserted equally fast.
There is no disposition to risk an
other massacre. So great ia the ex
odus from Thrace that the popula
tion are urging that a plebiscite be
taken to show whether or not the
people wish to belong to Turkey.
The Turks believe that they are nu
merous enough to carry the vote in
favor of Turkey. In several ways
Turkey Is appealing to the principle
of self-determination in a way that
was not anticipated when that prin
ciple was advocated at Versailles to
aid in the settling of boundary dis
putes. Baron Sonino, the prime minister
of Italy at the beginning of the world
war, who recently died, was a man
of notable record and many fine qual
ities. Three times he served aa
prime minister with success. He
was known as a very silent man,
rarely speaking in public. He was,
however, able to speak readily five
languages and waa otherwise giftei
as a statesman. He advocated for
Italy a policy of economy, which was
exactly the thing Italy most needed.
He was not popular with the masseJ
because of his policies, but he sought
the welfare of his country. He waa
strikingly different from the present
premier, Mussolini, who is popular,
likes applause and seeks striking
rather than safe policies for Italy.
The new constitution of the Irish
Free State, after acceptance in Ire
land, is now being considered in the
English Parliament Considerable
anxiety has been caused by the ex
ecution of Erskine Childers, a sup
porter of De Valera and the Repub
lic. Childers is an Englishman by
birth and formerly opposed the radi
cal movement. He was a theorist,
however, and turned to the otacr
side. He waa a man of fine charac
ter and attainments and will be re
garded as a martyr to the cause of
Irish liberty. The charge against
him was carrying a pistol contrary
to the law. It ia believed, however,
that hia death waa sought as a retal
iation for the death of Griffith and
Collins. This execution threatens to
start anew the reign of force, unlesa
the. Free State ia in control of the
situation.
It la hard to see just how Greece
ia to profit by putting to death fiv
of the ministers whom ahe held re
sponsible for the failure of the war
in Asia Minor against the Turks.
Three of these, Gounaria, States, and
Protopapadutiii, are men of much dia
tinction. It i true that the morale
of the Greek army waa weakened by
conditions in the government, but
there wero mistakes on the field a
well. In fact, the whole aggressive
Greek program was ill-advised and
gave Turkey the chance to become a
victor, renounce the Treaty of Sevres
and alter the whole plan in the Near
East. Whether Greek impetuosity
or some influence behind Greece is
responsible, we cannot say at present.
