Tardteu Scores Blunders of

MORETROUBLE FORESEEN
Crisis in Near East Beclared
Only Begun, in Atmosphere
of Mutual Suspicion.
BY ANDRE TARDIEU,
Farmer French High Commissioner to the
United States.
Copyright, 1022, by The OrcsronJan.)
PARIS, Sept. 30. (Special Cable-.)
The two great powers which here,
as elsewhere, could have remained
masters of the situation, working?
together, have, by misunderstand
ings and rivalries, provoked and
multiplied conflicts which today are
giving much trouble In calming. In
consequence the Greek setbacks are
interpreted in France as English
difficulties and are commented on
with stupid enthusiasm, while Poin
care's refusal to participate in the
defense of the Dardanelles, which is
of general world interest, is in
terpreted in London as a failure to
accept entente obligations.
Therefore the eastern crisis, which
perhaps is only beginning, will de
velop in the worst possible atmos
phere, namely, mutual suspicion.
France's state of mind is extremely
curious. The press campaigns have
had a strange effect on many of my
fellow citizens. We have Catholic
papers rejoicing over Kemalist vic
tories. We see Poincare, who a year
ago denounced the Angora agree
ment, going further in a few hour3
than Briand did in a year. We see
those who commonly complain that
France always is bowing to Britain
now rejoicing because we vacated
Chanak, a place which we cannot
easily regain.
Lloyd George Blamed.
All this is very puzzling. Finally,
I must remark that Lloyd George's
absurd policy of arousing Greek am
bitions is largely responaible for
this state of mind.
Despite the official jubilation over
the Franco-Italian-British joint in
vitation to Kemal, the Turkish
crisis la far from being over. The
Turks have twice invaded the neu
tral zones since the invitation was
extended. The presumptuous Kemal
press declares unacceptable the pro
posals of the powers. Kemal him
self holds back, and Poincare's ne
gotiator, Franklin Bouillon, being
more pro-Kemal than Kemal him
self, can scarcely be .considered the
man to moderate the Turkish commander-in-chief.
Constantine having
abdicated, the new government an
nounces it will retain eastern
. Thrace by force of arms, while the
Soviets protest against the three
power note and send their war divi
sions forward with an unknown pur- ,
pose.
Anybody reading the Paris papers
might think from their historical
Turcophilism that France considered
the Turkish problem settled. This
is unt rue. The details filtering
through of how the Turks pillaged
and burned Smyrna are making a
' great impression and the visible con
nivance of Moscow with Angora is
disturbing.
Frenrh Premier Warned.
Poincare, despite his unexpected
diplomatic support of -Kemal, must
take account of these legitimate ap
prehensions. Only a week after ne
evacuated Chanak. therefore caus
ing enormous difficulties between
France and Kngland, he asks the
chamber's finance committee . to
authorize a loan of 300.000,000
francs to Ftoumania, the Poles and
the Czechs to complete armament
against the possibilities of Turkish
re-entry into Europe, and the Rus
sian menace which might require
their military intervention. These
facts contradict the epecious optim
ism of the official newspapers.
For two years France and Eng
land have been committing unpar
donable errors in the opposite direc
tion, Lloyd George starting it by
urging Constantine to rash -extremes
resulting in his destruction,
and France signing the separate ac
cord with Angora in September,
121. which exalted Kemal's na
tionalist programme.

1 kAJRIS, Sept. 30. Ex - Premier
Clemenceau has become remin
iscent since he decided to visit
America next November. Clemen
ceau was 25 years eld when, as a
young doctor, he landed in New
York, 56 years ago and found em
ployment as a librarian, a position
he held for two years. The grizzled
old "Tiger" stays these two years
were among the happiest of his long
life- The reading public did not
patronize the library much in those
days, Clemenceau eaid. Therefore he
was able to seclude himself among
the books and spend most of his
time reading the best philosophers
and historians.
"There my mind acquired what it
lacked and my intellect completed
Its formation," he said recently.
It was after this that he became
professor of French in a school for
young women at Stamford, Conn. A
school mistress, who was a practical
soul, learned that he was an accom
plished horseman and requested him
to accompany the girls on their rides
across the country. It was- thus that
Clemenceau fell In love with and be
came engaged to Miss Mary Summer
of Boston, whom he afterward mar
reid. She Is the mother of his three
children.
Clemenceau returned to France in
1869 and a year later came the
Franco-Prussian war. As mayor of
Montmartre, Clemenceau began his
political career which has lasted for
upward of 60 years.
The ambition of the ultra-smart
Parisian woman this fall is to have
the complexion of a Hindu maiden,
hence many dusky-hued women have
made their appearance in the well
known tearooms and cabarets. A
new ochre colored powder gives the
desired shade to the skin. The
powder also is applied to the hands
and thq.se portions of the arms and
neck which are exposed. To obtain
the effect, cold cream is thoroughly
rubbed into the skin first, then the
ochre powder is carefully spread
over it. The dark hair of the aver
age Parisian woman, together with
lip and face rouge and skillfully
used eyebrow pencilling gives
striking effect.
The fad was first initiated by a
few actresses.
M. Parmentier, special ' financial
representative to Washington, has
returned to " France and has had
a great deal to say in praise of the
lavish hospitality he encountered in
America. He seems to have been
particularly struck by the amount of
excellent champagne he found there.
"War widow, 37, childless, earn
ing 7200 francs yearly and with war
pension of 1600 francs yearly, pos
sesslna; 4500 francs capital, seeks
correspondence with a view to mar
riaffe."
The foregoing advertisement which
appeared in Postal France has start
ed discussion as to whether the pen
sion law should not be revised to
prevent widows using their govern
ment pensions as an attraction to
get new husbands.

IDAHO PLANS FESTIVAL
1' n i versil y to Celebra te A n ni ve r-
.sary of Founding.
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow,
Sept. 30. (Special.) Appropriate
ceremonies are being planned for
the commemoration of the 30th an
niversary of the establishment of
the University of Idaho on October
12. An effort will be made to have
bark as many as popsible of the
first 27 students who enrolled in
the university.
Traditions tell that on the opening
morning the students waited on the
front steps of the old administration
building for Franklin B. Gault, pres
ident, to come and open the door.
Most of the forenoon was spent un
packing furniture and arranging It
in the building. During the regis
tering time the president remained
standing because he did not want to
remain seated when there wer not
enough chairs for the students. It
is the hope of President Upham that,
through old records and memories
of come of the first students now
living in Moscow, the original group
may be found and invited to the
ceremonies.
VANDAL SUSPECT FREED
Robbery of Knickerbocker Theater
ictini Proves False Charge.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 30.
Charges which led to the arrest in
New York this week of Robert P.
McChesney have been dropped as
the result of recovery of the watch
which he was accused of having
removed from the person of Edward
Shaughnessy, then assistant postmaster-general,
when the latter was
being removed last January from
the ruins of the Knickerbocker
theater. In the catastrophe the late
assistant postmaster-general re
ceived injuries which resulted in hit
death.
Washington police found the
watch at McChesney's home here
following his arrest, and Mrs.
Shaughnessy, who swore out the
warrant for the arrest, announced
that a satisfactory explanation had
been given. She said McChesney
had showed that he picked up the
watch a small silver wrist time
piece only of sentimental value be
cause used by Colonel Shaughnessy
in France during the war without
knowing to whom it had belonged,
and that he had been unable to as
certain the owner. Mrs. Shaugh
nessy also said it had been ascer
tained that McChesney was not re
sponsible for money missing from
her husband's pockets.

LLOYD GEORGE AT FAULT
William Bird Declares That if
Profits Had Xot Been Sought
Crisis Would Not Exist.
BY WILLIAM BIRD.
(Cot-yright. 1922. by Tha Oreg-onian.)
PARIS, Sept. 30. (Special Cable.)
Thirteen months ago, reporting
the meeting of the supreme council
here in Paris, the writer stressed
the resolution deploring the Turco
Greek war, but deciding not to for
bid private firms in the allied coun
tries supplying arms to the bellig
erents. This hypocritical act started
the wind from which the present
oriental whirlwind has developed.
Had the allies then treated Tur
key and Greece as the United States
often treated Mexico, laying an em
bargo on arms, peace would have
been easily possible on terms which
must have proved advantageous to
all.
Why was it not done? Tremen
dous pressure had been brought on
Lloyd George to take this bold stand
as the only feasible and effective
means to peace. But British labor,
which has staged many blustering
peace demonstrations and issued
numerous hollow ultimatums to the
premier against war, was per
suaded by the facile Lloyd George
that oriental peace through such an
embargo could only result in fur
ther unemployment.
In other words, labor was ready,
as was capital, to take its share of
the war profits. Thus, obviously,
the? world's economic forces still
are far from re-establishing them
selves on a peace basis. Without
the waste of war Industry seems
unable to function.
What is more significant still Is
that the decision of the supreme
council on this subject was prac
tically its latest utterance given
with its last breath. The council
since has disappeared and the sol
idarity of the allies has been dis
persed. Now in place of encourag
ing profitable wars in common, they
plan to encourage them separately,
which inevitably means opposition
to each other.
In this particular case the little
war got too big for them, so they
are now frantically seeking each
other's aid in stopping it before it
spreads to the Balkans and thence
to all Europe.
Another Conference Billed.
Another general conference on
near-eastern peace is about to open
under the same management as the
last. Lloyd George, who wrote the
treaty of Sevres and then wrecked
It, apparently will be entrusted with
writing another. One would think
such things ought to be impossible
at least until the day when the man
caught red-handed at arson is ap
pointed chief of the fire department.
Whatever peace., is made at this
time can only be a truce. A def
inite settlement of the problems af
fecting the near east is impossible
without consulting Russia, the prin
cipal power directly interested.
THEFT OF FUR CHARGED
Two Men Arrested at Pasco While
Leaving Freight Train.
PASCO, Wash., Sept. 30. (Spe
cial.) Reuben Christel and Emery
Warren, accused of stealing a pack
age of mail containing a sable fur
scarf from . a mail truck at Top
penish, were arrested in Pasco
Friday.
Don Thomas, Northern Pacific
special agent, apprehended the men
as they stepped from a freight
train. The complaint . was sworn
out by C. W. Linebaugh. United
States postal inspector at Portland.
The men were arraigned before
United States Commissioner Cox.
Bonds were fixed at J1000 each,
which the men were unable to fur
nish. They were taken to Yakima
last night and placed in the county
Jail.
RAVAGES OF GANGER
Drive Planned to Educate
People to Danger.
HARDING TO HEAR PLEA
President to Be Appealed To to
Lend Aid In Movement to
Be Nation-Wlde.
BY GRAFTON WILCOX.
(By Chicago Tribune Le1 Wire.)
WASHINGTON. D. C. Sept. 30.
(Special.) The president of the
United States is to be appealed to
this week is to lend his aid to a
movement which will educate the
public In protective measures
against the ravages of cancer, a
malady which is destroying more
Americans annually than were
killed in the world war.
Cancer is one of the preventable
diseases threatening human life,
and an organized drive against it
is in preparation. President Hard
ing being appealed to in the move
ment which will be Instituted in
November to arouse the American
people to the dangers that lurk in
the disease and the precautions
that can be taken to curb its de
structive spread.
National Drive Planned.
The destruction that cancer has
been "working upon life in the Unit
ed States within recent years has
been so alarming that the American
Society for the Control of Cancer
has determined upon a nation-wide
campaign to curb its ravages.
The society has determined it to
be imperative that the people of the
United States be awakened to the
scourge just as they have been
awakened with wondprful results to
tuberculosis, the havoc of which has
been materially curbed within the
last decade.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of in
dividuals who might possibly be
cured of cancer now die of it. for
want of preventive measures, the
American society claims.
Lawn Exee War's.
With no thought of frightening
the American people, but merely to
call their attention to facts which
must be faced the society In an
nouncing the drive that will take
place in the week of November 1!
20 asserts that whereas up to July
1919. 76.433 American soldiers were
killed or died of wounds or disease
in the world war, no less than 180.
000 persons died of cancer in the
United States during the two years
this country was Involved in that
war.
Cancer causes one out of every
ten deaths above the age of 40
in this country, it is declared, and
in persons above the age of 40 can
cer is more prevalent than tuber
culosis or pneumonia.
There are 100,000 persons in the
United States now afflicted with
some form of cancer, while thou
sands of dollars are wasted annual
ly on worthless "cancer cures,"
agents of the society assert, basing
their statement on medical statis
tics. Truth to Be Told.
The American Society for the
Control of Cancer does not believe
nor assert that cancer la always
curable, but it does hold that it
may be cured in many Instances and
that in practically all cases much
can be gained by meeting the dis
ease in its lnciplency Instead of de
laying as is so often done. The so
ciety's aim is to tear away the veil
of mystery which surrounds cancer
in the public eye and to tell the
actual truth about it.
AH over the country men who
have spent their lives In cancer re
search will be in charge of localized
campaigns and will disseminate in
formation by means of lectures,
personal work and newspaper pub
licity. The assertions that cancer Is not
a constitutional nor a blond disease
and that it involves no hereditary
taint nor should there be any
thought of disgrace attached to it
will be stressed in this campaign.
Men and women all over the coun
try will be taught that certain defi
nite symptoms precede every can
cer and these warnings should be
heeded at once.
Scientific papers dealing with the
work thus far accomplished in try
ing to find the cause of cancer will
be given to the public. Despite the
fart that, up to this time. Its u!l
mate origin is unknown, the public
will be asked not to lose hope, but
to believe that science will In the
end find this cause. The most emi
nent surgeons and practitioners
and specialists in the United Ftates
will participate In the drive. Like
wise the farts relating to the cures
ot cancer will be published.
Dr. Howard Canning Taylor, vice
president of the society, asserts that
cancer is curable If taken early and
properly treated. Dr. Will J. Mayo
declares cancer curable If operated
upon before adjacent glands are In
volved. Both these men. with
hundreds of others of like reputa
tion, will participate In the drive.
According to the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company the death
rate from cancer was hlaher In
1!21 than in any year since 1911.
There was a drop In the rate during
1S1 and 1919. but the experts be.
lltve that this was because many
persons died of influenza who
otherwise would have succumbed
to cancer.

Are social gatherings in your home
a success?
They can be if you supply music
to entertain your guests
T NTERTAINING is an unexpect
f edly complicated problem for
eS young married folk. The diffi
culties of making "her" friends and"his"
friends into "their" friends are great. A
common interest is the only solution.
Guests who are strangers to each
other often sit, stiff and ill at ease. The
atmosphere is frigid with bored silences.
It seems impossible to break the ice.
There is one solution, the art that has
a universal appeal, music Breaking down
artificial social barriers, it makes all
spirits akin. Warms acquaintanceship
into happy intimacy.
Sing, play or dance with
the Virtuolo
