police and even 'co-operra-W,on between
the Alio Jed, ‘andi Turkish police has
gene, it is not longer piteellale to ex-
ercise the slightest control over in-
filtration of Nationalist seltdiers. The
Alied military naval fortes are not
numerous enough to watch all the

-.which is over 20 miles long and only -

Turk's thus are .able te 'strengthen

remain spectattorre.
The Inter--Alliei control et Con-
stantinople has been essentially a.
British e ontarel, because the French arid
Italians never wanted to go beyond
the terms of the Mudros Armistice.
They wanted nothing more than a
purely mill'itairy occupation.
It is a deplorable fact that this oc-
cupation has been TftEdilestarne and ob-
truse, Perhaps it was not easy to
-win the losraater of the Turkish popu-
lation, but ceettairily it woultdaft have
been irnpossibite. However, it was not
attempted. Now, not only the roaases,
but even. the minded Turks
have been estranged.
The Turks and the Allies fa ee ea,ch.
other irreconcilably here. Nothing can
bridge the gap- between them. How-
ever, the occupation of the Allfied
atrini'es is shieftelin,g several hundred
thousand Christians from a Itarldsh
termer that noighte even encl. in massa-
cre. Allied rule at its worst is prob-
ably better than Turkleth rule at its
best, at least for these whe are not
Turks, and there can he no question'
tot abandoning it at this m,oment.

The encroachment et' the National-
ists could be stopped by detclaring

The thing that seems wisest to do

Music is World's Finest
Diplomat.
Taste at th,e street level as regards
music is rapidly improving. In the
heart of the financial sectioa of one of
the largest American cities is a res-
taurant where men in a hurry as-
semble for their midday meal. It is
conceded that the first attraction of

dropped in casually to hear the vaunt-

plause was loud and prolonged.

bution of phonograph records. A min -

thia fine music which deeply impress-

Whether you go round the corner or
to reinote parts, of this continent, you
may hear music indiea.ting a level of
taste far higher than some would eon.
