Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.—Psalms 49:20. And Now—What? ALL too many of us are inclined to give the Greeks the laugh for having received a drubbing at the hands of the Turks in Asia Minor, then forget the thing. Nothing could be a bigger mistake. The Greeks looked for trouble, certainly, and they found it. King Tino asked for a lick- j ing, and he got it. In all of which we concur, BUT— The Turkish victory is not the end of a perfect day, but only the beginning of an unpleasant one—or rather the continuation of one—just one more episode in the European tragedy now going on before our uncomprehending eyes. The episode, however, may have stupendous repercussions later on. Mustapha Kemal is friendly with Soviet Russia. Russia is now virtually the ally of Germany. Let us not forget that, nor that the Turkish victory over the Greeks will not go unnoticed anywhere in the Mussulman world. Europe is still a bubbling cauldron of opposing interests, of conflicting ambitions. Hatreds are still at the boiling point. Poverty and hunger are the driving forces of certain of the nations, and almost daily we are hearing open threats of this country making common cause with that country in the event another :ountry attempts thus and so. The military “come back" of Turkey in Asia Minor has set Constantinople mad with joy, according to the cables. Will Turkey long keep to herself tlm dissatisfaction she so keenly feels over her situation in Europe! England has opposed Turkey—Turkey lies between Eugland and India—what view 'will London now take of the matter? France has been friendly with Turkey. What will Paris say? Turkey can make trouble for Eng and in India and Egypt. Will she make demands on Great Britain? Poetic justice maybe, but assuredly there is nothing to laugh over in the Greek debacle. The re-entry into the arena of a powerful fighting force—and no one save those who have never come in contact with the Turks denies they can be a powerful fighting force—merely serves to render an already grave situation more critical still. “Satisfied” Farmers 4 BOSTON paper notes the alleged fact that Nebraska farmera are not worrying about the strikes because they have 200,313,000 bushels of corn which they can burn if necessary—cheaper fuel at 30c a bushel than coal at sls a ton. ‘'That," says the edit-ar, may give a certain sort of cold, short-sighted comfort to the prairie farmer, but it, won’t be of much service to the rest of the United States whose people need the corn." The Nebraska fanner, and others in the same fix, will certainly agree that the necessity of burning corn is “cold" satisfaction—if any. He slaved to prepare the ground, and he worked as hard to plant it. He sweated to cultivate it. He tore the skin from his knuckles and shivered to husk it. And now to have to burn it! It is a tragedy for the Nebraska farmer; for really, what the Boston editor should remember is that that corn is all he has in many cases for his year’s work. In burning it he is turning to ashes a year out of his life, and out of that of liis wife and his children. W hen food is burned for fuel there is something rotten in the United States of America. And there is about as much satisfaction in being forced to believe that as the farmer enjoys when he burns corn. Unbiased History TT THAT stuff most of our histories are! ▼ * Most history has been written by men obsessed by the notion that kings and wars have made all history. And most of them have tried to make out a case for their own classes or parties. And mostly it is fraudulent rot, by which the minds of young and old are corrupted. In Geneva, Switzerland, they have had a meeting of an International Cougress on Moral Education. They devoted one morning session to this matter of unbiased history. One speaker proposed a history, written in unbiased style, for use in schools all over the world. It is a fine idea. What a blessing it would be if our young people could study a history of the United States written by a broad, cultured, judicial-minded Chinese, Hindu or Icelander! By the study of such a work we would get rid of many of our false views as to Mexico, the British Empire, our military leaders, and, in general, of things on which American Avriters are unable to Avrite fairly. This goes for other countries as Avell as our oavii. Via this: road lies the AA-ay for all of us out of bigotry and provincialism to tolerance. For if the truth is told none of us is much better than our neighbor.

mini AROUSES MINORITY PARTY TO ACTION __________ t Election Figures Indicate Probable Defections in Other States. STRIKING FACTS REVEALED Democrats Inclined to Pin Hope on Republicans’ Diminished Vote. By ROBERT J. BENDER t'nited News Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.— I The sharp reduction noted in the Republican vote cast in the Maine general has an important bearing upon close senatorial and congressional elections which will be held Nov. 7. It Is the more noteworthy because of a general, though natural and expected falling off, during the primaries this year, in the Republican vote as polled in 1920. Because Maine holds Its general ; elections before the other States, the ! results of the main vote are always 1 scanned with great interest by lead- | ers of both major parties. Os couase, ' the State returned this time, as it always does, a Republican delegation to Congress. But Monday's election revealed these striking facts: Difference of 47,000 Votes 1. Senator Hale was re-elected by a majority of approximately 30,000 votes, whereas President Harding carried Maine over Governor Cox in 1320 by over "7,000 votes. 2. Although a presidential election always brings out a heavier vote than a bi-election, Monday s election showed that only 20,000 less votes were polled than In 1920. If all of these were Republican It would still show Hale winning by 27,000 votes. less than Harding's majority two years ago. 3. The total Republican vote polled for Hale was over 30,000 less than the total polled by Harding in 1920, whereas the total vote polled by Oakley Curtis, his Democratic senatorial opponent, was over 15,000 more than that polled by Cox two years ago. Republicans Are Confident Two years ago Harding carried eleven States in which Democratic Senators, elected in 1916. are up for re-election this fall. For this reason, Republicans have felt sure that they would make gains in the Senate. Democrats are Inclined to pin hope on the reduced Republican and increased Democratic vote in Maine. Curtis polled approximately 10.000 votes more than President AVilson polled in Maine in 1916, when ho lost, the State to Charles Evens Hughes by a scant 5,000 votes. In Light of Landslide How pointed is this hope may be realized when the plight of present Democratic Senators running for reelection is Judged in the light of the 1920 Republican landslide. Senator Ashurst, Arizona, was elected in 1916 by 8,000 votes while Harding carried the State in IP2O by 7,500. Senator Hitchcock. Nebraska, was elected in 1916 by 12,000, while Harding carried the State by 127,000. Senator King, Utah, was elected by 12,000 while Harding carried Utah four years later by 25,000. Senator Pomerene, Ohio, in 1916 won his seat by 36,000 and Harding carried Ohio in 1920 by 400,000. Senator Heed, Missouri won a majority of 25,000 in 1915 while Harding rolled up a 153,000 majority in the State four years later. Senator Kendrick, AA'yoming. squeezed through hv 3,000 votes in 1916 and Harding carried the State by 18,000. Senator New Mexico had n 3,000 vote margin in 1916 and now contemplates Harding's 11,000 majority in the State in 1920. Senator Gerry, Rhode Island, who admittedly has hard sledding ahead for re-elec-tion, won by 8,000 in 1916, only to see Harding sweep his little State by 52,000 four years later. Senator MeKellar, Tennessee, —as elected by 13,000 votes and then Harding turned this Democratic State into the Republican column by exactly the same number of votes in 1920. Senator Key Pittman had only a 2,000 vote margin to get into the Senate and Harding carried Nevada by 5,400. Senator Myers, Montana, was elected by 12,500. He is not running for reelection this year. Harding carried Montana by 52,000. From this it will be seen that the Democrats are counting on a tremendous turn over in the great Republican A'ote of 1920 when the people go to the polls Nov. 7. Their first definite ray of hope has been accorded by tneir vote gains and Republican vote losses in Maine.

ROUT OF GREEKS FIRST STEP IN MOHAMMEDAN CONQUEST
By XEA Service , NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—1n the occupation of Smyrna and the rout of Greek troops along the whole coast of Asia Minor, Mustapha Kemal Pasha, hitherto obsedre head of the Turkish Nationalist government at Angora, has accomplished more than a momentary military victory. Kemal has made himself military and political leader of Islam and will now be looked upon as the head of the great Mohammedan fraternity comprising almost a third of the world's population with ramifications reaching even into our own Philippines The Turkish leader now is planning to use to the greatest possible advantage the prestige gained by his victory over the Greeks. PU.ying on the peculiar political influence Mohammedans are able to wield in the colonial possesions of the great powers, Kemal today is prepar.ng to take the first step toward welding all Islam together into a po-litico-religious empire—the restoration of the glorious caliphate of old. Plans Understood This information comes from unofficial Kemal.st aids in the Oriental quarter of New York, who for months have been in continual touch with Kemalist heads in Angora and Constantinople. Here are Rental's plans, as understood by his friends and supporters here: 1. —To conclude a peace with Greece which will restore Turkey to the same territorial importance It enjoyed before the World War, except that he will allow Constantinople to be internationalized. 2. —To establish the capital of this new Turkish empire at Angora and to make the city a great center of Moslem learning and a vast bureau for the dissemination of Pan-Islamic propaganda. 3. —To conclude official treaties with the Ameer of Afghanistan, the king of the Hedjaz and the ruling Mohammedan elements of Persia, and unofficial treaties and understandings with the rebellious elements among the Monammedans of Egypt, Syria, India and North Africa. All of these will recognize Kemal as their head and os the "defender of the faith.” Opposition Larking In taking the first step—the peace with Greece —Kemal will find no opposition from the great powers, his friends here sav.

Motorless Gliding Is Passing Fancy Doomed to Die, Say German Scientists
By XEA Service BERLIN. Sept. 14.—Coming down to earth after a fast flight of fancy, German scientists who started th£ glider craze are convinced that It is just a fad. They scoff at the thought, that persons all over the world will soon be soaring about on the wings of motorless planes. They merely see in the glider a simple, inexpensive way of experimenting in airplane construction at a time when they are restricted in its manufacture. The success of their experiments jacked the aviators of the other nations into similar activity. Prizes were offered both in France and England for further improvements. In America Glenn H. Gurtiss began working on a seaplane glider. Doubt Practicability But the Germans do not expect any great future for gliders as such. They simply hope to learn what are the most eificlent forms of wings and controls for machines. Such forms if efficient in gliding will be even more efiPiopt when an engine is adjusted to the glider turning it into a regular air plane.

In tho European flights. In one is a crude device in which the pilot supports himself on arm rests to which are attached wings and tall, neither of the latter being controllable. Tlie pilot runs down hill facing the wind until he acquires sufficient velocity tc go up. He then controls the machine by swinging his body, thus shifting his center of gravity. Similar to Aeroplane In the more advanced types the pilot sits in a little hull like the fuselage of an airplane. He controls the movement of the machine by manipulating its wings and tail, as does the pilot In a regular airplane. Hentzen's glider is a monoplane without struts. The controls are of the ordinary kind. "There are three essentials.” he says, "to make a good glider. First, he must have a machine specially designed for the purpose: second, he must have a thoroughly knowledge of meal meteorological conditions and third, he must have had considerable flying experience." If you have all these, try it—as a fad. But don't expect to use it to cut out the trolley ride to work.

GERMAN AGENTS BRIBE AMERICANS lIDYEMONOPQLY' Formulas Filed Before Wai Designed to Deceive Patent Office. U. S. LAW COMPELS TRUTH Evasions Make Dangerous Experiments of Chemists Seeking Facts. By SIDNEY E. WHIPPLE Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-—" Re solved, Henceforth bribery shall b abolished except in the United State? and Russia.” This anything but flattering resolution was passed by the German dye cartel, or trust, before the war where Germany, In order to get a stranglehold on the world's coal-tar products, chemicals and explosives business was resorting to graft, bribery, unfair competition and corruption. Inventions Are Not Lost United States patent laws are framed so when the inventor of something unable to civilization dies, his invention will not be lost to the world. The law compels the inventor to file a complete description of the article, or in the case of a dye or medicine, the complete formula, I Os the 4,700 patents filed by Ger * man chemists in this country, almost every formula was faulty—a direct misrepresentation. Some of them, if worked out as the German patents prescribed, would have blown the American chemist to pieces. Make Formulas Useless German patentees deliberately left out salient ingredients or added some thing which would render the formula useless. Such was the situation in 1917 when the American Government, after declaring war against Germany, seized the 4.700 German and used them —in some cases only after months of effort to find out what was w'rong with the tricked formula —in prosecuting the war.

High blood pressure may be tern porarv, but should be watched, and life should be regulated according to certain set rules. Avoid physical and mental overstrain. Eat little meat, avoid stimulants, tobacco and overeating. Light meals at night should be the rule, rhther than heavy ones. Get plenty of fresh air, exercise daily in the open, but be careful not to over-fatigue your heart or circulation. Walking and a little hill-climbing are good if they do not .cause pains in the chest or shortness of breath. If there is breathlessness, dropsy or dizziness, a physician's advice should be followed explicitly. All damaged hearts should be ex amined once a year by a medical authority. Irregular action of the heart is of no importance in some cases, while in others it is most serious. A physiciai.'s advice is needed to determine this.
