HIGHER COURT CONFIRMS LOWER COURT DECISION Jsckson County Bond Issue Held Legal Frankfort, Ky., Dec. 16. Th! Court of Appeals Friday aflrmed the decii ion of the lower court in the esse of Ha-rison vs. Jackson Fisoul Court. This esse attracted consider able attention since all the poin'j were attacked connected with the holding of an election to issue bond in the sum of $125,000 for the ?on stiuction of a turnpike from McKee to the Madison county line. Judge Marning held the election to be legal and the case was appealed to the higher court, but the opinio i of the lower cou-t was upheld. The citizens of Jackson county have made a most consistent fight to get an outlet to the outside wor'd and their most worthy efforts have attracted the interests of the people in many sections of the State, an-l the State Road Department is in sympathy with their efforts and ha) pledged to construct a road from Madison rountv to McKee if Madisor would help to construct the mileage in that county. Clay county has like wise voted bonds to the amount of $200,000 and it looks like these coun ties are in for road building. The new Kentenva Associat'nn. which has recently been organ ire J to further the interests of constructing a road thru the counties of Eitil', Lee, Owsley and Clay, and it is now proposed by the people of Jackson county to link up with that project. connecting in Owsley county, provid ing the gap in Madison county is not tsken care of.

Robertson, Professor of niatory and Political Science) Berea CoCeg It is believed that a settlement with Turkey is near at hand. Eng lard is inte-ested in the territory in Asia Minor which contains oil re sources. The U. S. also insi: ts that no arrangement between the two can be made that excludes the U. S. right ti the use of the oil supply. Turkey has not shown much disposition thus fur to show tolerance to foreign pop ulation. An agreement was reached that Christian populations might re main in Constantinople on certain conditions. Among other things, the head or Patriarch of the Greek church must leave. Since Constantinople ha been the seat of the Greek Catholie church since early times, this is con sidered an especial hardship. It doe not seem likely that any section is to be set apart aa a home for tho Armenians, and their future is not bright. Nor will Turkey as yet give up her claim to try all foreigners in her own courts, thus doing away v.ith the capitulations, or agree ments, made with the U. S. years ago. Constantinople will not be re garded by the Turks as their capital city, but rather Angora, a city some 300 miles to the east in Asia Minor, will be developed as a capital for the future.

Reports continue to be circulated that a change is coming about in America's attitude toward the Euro pean situation. Ambassador Harvey is to return to the U. S. for confer ence, as ia thought, on the financial situation. The continuous fall in th value of the German mark has been, tha center of,, .attention. Germany wishee a large loan, and It can be secured in no place but th U. S. Our government ha not authorized any such loan as yet, and John Pierpont Morgan, who has just rw tt'med from Europe, say none has been arranged for. The reports, however, persist and President Hard ing is quoted as saying that Europe needs America's aid. Tha suddIt of gold in the U. S. ia greater than ever before in our history, and we could make a loan that would in no senso obligate us to cancel any debt It has been America's belief that Europe must work it out herself, but that may truly be impossible. If Amer ica makes a loan, it will be on con ditions that are helpful to the world. At the international conferenoa of jurists, now meeting ot the Peace Pal ace in th Hague, our own rep resentative, John Bassett Moore, was selected as chairman. Th ob ject of this conference is to take up the rules regulating war and revise them so that they will conform to changed conditions. These Interna tior.al lawyers are aware of the fact that the rules of war were badly broken or disregarded entirely in th recent war, and yet they are goiag at their task with considerable of l.cpe and confidence, believing that in some way international law ia tn have a better standing in the future than in the past. The U. S. ia com. milted to the rjolicv of nnnl fn Irw in international relations and has always used her influence in tht direction. Her policy of isolstion. however, prevents that cooperation wnn the nations of tha wo-lH whieh s'one can give an effective enforce ment of law. The U.
