Turks Show No Regret Over War Alliance (By Associated Press) LONDON, March 24. The Turks are by no means convinced that they are vanquished, and show few signs of regret that they were ever the allies of the Central Powers, according to a French correspondent who has returned from Constantinople. Tlie correspondent attributes this failure on the part of the Turks to realize their actual situation to the fact that the British and French commanders in the Turkish capital have not acted like conquerers and imposed their authority on the Turks. The correspondent declares that he was unable to convince the leading Turks of the complete victory of the AJlie3 and of the definitive crushing of the German military power, and adds that this is due to the fact that the Allied troops did not enter Stamboul with flags flying, because the Allied officers did not install themselves as masters In the different ministries, and because the military authorities did not take over all the administrative offices and police the city.

Tho famous Ice Palace, In Pari', the most elaborate recreation build- . Ing, probably, in all Europe, is one of the chief del'shts of the doughboy in the French capital. Every form of amusement movies, musical concerts, vaudeville and games of all sorts and descriptions is to be found there since the Y.M.C.A. took over the building and turned it into a great . recreation center for American boys overseas. Into this wonderland, four hundred little . French war orphans were led recently and made the guests of honor of the doughboys and the "Y" during one whole day. They were entertained with a special musical concert, and had front seats at a vaudeville show. They saw reels arid reels of movies, shouting over .. the antics of '!the man with the feet" a famous American comedian. They were shown how to play some of the
strange American games, though many of these games were familiar' under their French names. From forenoon until evening they romped and ate and laughed. Then, after more candy and ice cream and lemonade, came the final surprise. Every one of the youngsters got a present of some sort. Dolls, picture books, skipping ropes, pop guns, trains and jumping Jacks appeared as II by magic and the children were loaded up with them hefore they started for home. By common impulse tho doughboys had elected themselves a committee to help the "Y" see to it that ' everybody had a good time, and the only complaints heard . were from the young guetts who protested at having to go home at nil. It was the greatest day in all the short lives . of these four hundred whom the war has left fatherless.
