England Discusses Defeat
of Carpentier.
RRITISH LOSE PRESTIGE
loyd George's Position Grows
Steadily Worse, Due to
Turkish Position.
BY A. G. GARDINER,
Britain's Greatest Liberal Editor.
(Copyright. 1922. by The Oregonian.)
LONDON. Sept. 30. Special Cable.)
A visitor from Mars to our planet
might reasonably wonder today
whether he had entered a madhouse.
He would find Europe trembling: on
the brink of a great war and dis
cussing excitedly whether a negro
boxer gave Carpentier a foul blow.
The public mind is bewildered by
the hopeless tangle of the European
puzzle and has turned with delight
to the greatest popular sensation of
these days.
The vogue of Carpentier is un
paralleled in the history of the prize
ring and his popularity in England
is as great as in France. It was
unaffected by his defeat at the
hands of Dempsey, which was ex
plained away on the ground of the
difference in weights. But the sud
den humiliation of his collapse be
fore the unknown Senegalese
created unprecedented astonishment.
The film indicates that the knock
out blow was of doubtful leeralitv.
but the general impression is that
if technically unfair it was not de
liberately so.
Turk Emerges Formidable.
If Africa, in the person of a negro
boxer, has lowered the flag of Eu
rope 1 the prize ring, Asia, in the
person of the Turk, has inflicted a
more serious humiliation. What
ever the outcome of the strange
drama now engaged, whether it is
peace or war, the Turk emerges
formidable and rehabilitated. His
triumph is due less to his own
merits than to the deplorable dis
agreements of the Christian powers,
especially England and France. The
mischievous policy furtively of en
couraging the Turco-Oreek conflict
and backing opposite sides insti
tuted the present disaster and the
overwhelming defeat of the Greeks
leaves France, diplomatically, as
well as militaristically, the dictator
of the situation.
Britlnh Preatlee Suffers.
The bursting of the Greek bubble
is the greatest blow British pres
tige has sustained. Curzon's effort
in Paris to overcome the fatal ef
fect of the Lloyd-George manifesto
met with some measure of success,
but the practical effect of the de
velopments has been to leave Eng
land alone to defend the Dardanelles
pending the conference and alone
confronting the Mohammedan opin
ion hehind the Turk. At the moment
nl i-aMin-,' it is doubtful whether the
Turk ill push his advantage by
f;ri-e of arms or await develop
ments through negotiations. Much
) epends on France. I cannot sup-!-ose
that iihe would wish a war
v.--ic: would make final the breach
. the Franco-British relations and
the Bain from which would be prob
lematical. Moreover the little en
tente dreads restoration of Turkish
power on European soil.
Greece in Chaos.
Meanwhile Greece is in chaos and
the military element demands that
the army advance to the defense
of the Thrace frontier. The problem
bristles with difficulties. Assum
ing that the conference will be held,
exclusive of Russia would be gro
tesque. Control of the Dardanelles
is a vital question to Russia and
any settlement ignoring Russian
interests would be repudiated. Free
dom of the Dardanelles is vital to
peace, but how is it to be secured.
It was suggested that it be handed
over to the league of nations, but
the league does not include Russia,
and, as the league has no armed
force it would have to hand it back
again to a mandatory power. What
power? England, France, Italy?
There are objectiins to each and
all.
Crisis Overshadows Session.
The crisis completely overshad
owed the conference of the league
at Genoa, where a sensation was
caused by Lord Robert Cecil's sug
gestion that the league control and
use air power as a means of en
forcing its authority. The proposal
goes to the foundation of the
league's position and raises the fun
damental issue of employment of
force. I am quite sure Lord Robert
is honestly convinced there is no
future for an unarmed league. No
other consideration would have
brought so ardent pacifist to this
conclusion. The idea will create a
great controversy within the league
and may lead to a serious rupture.
Premier's Position Worse.
If the Turkish crisis passes there
is a strong impression that Lloyd
George will seize the opportunity to
go to the country in October. His
position grows steadily worse and
the longer the general election is
delayed the more danger of his de
feat. The coalition government now
is universally discrediated and the
Tory .party is anxious to oust
George and revert strictly to a
party position. George is keen to
make advances to his old friends
on the liberal side and a strong
view prevails that his disastrous
appeal to the colonies against the
Turk was intended to gain favor
with the supporters of the old Glad-
stonlan tradition. If that was the
object the result is singularly un
fortunate. The liberals are hostile
to Turkish rule in Europe, but
equally hostile to the premier's sup
port of the Greeks in their ill-fated
adventure which has now brought
Europe to a new disaster. The elec
tions could hardly be held under
worse conditions for Lloyd-George's
prospects.

Appropriation of $34,000 Is Al
lowed Penitentiary Because
of Population Increase.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 30. (Special.)
The state emergency board, in epe
cial session here today, authorized
deficiency appropriations aggregat
ing 1113,200. Only small reductions
were made by the board in the
amounts asked by the department
heads. The largest deficiency ap
propriation was authorized for the
Oregon state penitentiary and was
in the amount of $34,000. This ap
propriation was asked by J. E.
the board that the deficiency was
caused by an increase fn the popu
lation of the prison that was not
anticipated at the time the appro
priation was made in 1921.
The population basis was fixed at
375, but the population of the insti
tution now exceeded 425.
The amount of $32,500 was al
lowed for the erection and furnish
ing of a new dormitory at the state
industrial school for girls. The old
dormitory was destroyed by fire two
weeks ago and since that time many
of the girls have been housed at the
state home for the feeble minded.
W. C. Knighton, architect, estimated
the salvage at $12,000 in walls,
foundation and plumbing fixtures.
W. L, Kuser, superintendent of the
state training school for boys,
sought an appropriation of $24,535.
He was- allowed $19,500 for mainte
nance and general purposes. The
board authorized an appropriation
of $16,000 for the state school for
the deaf. It had requested an ap
propriation of $16,469.05. I
The state livestock sanitary board
Lewis, warden, who explained to was allowed $10.000 to be used in
paying indemnities resulting from
the enforced slaughter of diseased
animals. This appropriation was
asked by Dr. W. H. Lytle, state
veterinarian, and had the support
of the Oregon pure-bred livestock
association.
The appropriation of $1200 was
authorized by the board for the
Eastern Oregon hospital at Pendle
ton. This money will be used for
the transportation of patients. The
hospital had requested an appro
priation of $1237.05.
Police Officer Loses Appeal.
- OLYMPIA, Wash., Sept. 30. (Spe

servic commission, in approving the
dismissal of Chris Ryan as a patrol
man on charges of insubordination,
and conduct unbecoming an officer,
was affirmed by the supreme court
yesterday. Ryan wag ahown to have
had a fair hearing before the com
mission and the court found no
showing beyond Ryan's own denial
of the charges of misconduct.

THE OREGONIAN NEWS
BUREAU. Washington. D. C. Sept.
30. An extension of the market
news service to the Pacific north
west will be made within the next
few months if cong-ress will ap
prove an appropriation of 9500.000
to be carried in the next agricul
tural appropriation bill. Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace told Sen
ator McNarjr of Oregon today.
Senator McXary, as chairman of
the senate joint committee of agri
culture and appropriation, con
ferred today with the secretary of
agriculture and promised that he
would exert every effort to obtain
enactment of the legislation re
quired. It was learned that the extension
will relate not only to the market
ment in the west of the work now
news service but also to a develop
carried on in a few cities by the
bureau of crop estimates in making
regular surveys of the livestock on
hand and of the fruit and vegetable
crop outlook.
From the department of agricul
ture it was learned that plans un
der the enlarged appropriation
call for the opening of a branch of
the bureau of crop estimates In
Portland, Or., to be devoted espe
cially to a market news service o&
the livestock industry. Inquiries
to be conducted and reported month
by month will Include the follow
ing: Number of livestock on hand;
number of feeder stock; number of
stock being prepared for market:
birth rat and the receipts cl
stockyards.
Spokane, It was aald. would fee
considered for the location of an
office In Washington because of
the fact that it is the center for
both a large fruit and vegetable
growing section as well as the
shipping point for much livestock.
At present there is no office
maintained In the northwest the
year around. The market news
service besides lnvetlKating and
reporting of local crop conditions
would give the farmers of the
northwest dally crop reports
throughout the world with Informa
tion as to the congested points in
the country, and the prices being
paid for their crops in various
markets.

we have been placed in position to
supply the choicest of pieces
direct from the Orient at remark

the wholesale middleman's profit) .
Our "caravan" has- arrived in
Portland with hundreds of beauti
ful, rich pieces, each personally
selected by our exclusive native
buyer in the Orient.
Other peerless works of
art are on the way be

on the seas and still
others are being carried
across the deserts o f
Persia to be loaded on

good news regarding our extended

during the next few months fully
a thousand appreciative homes in
the Pacific Northwest will become
the happy owners of some of
these hand-made treasures of Per

religiously and symbolically wov
en. This will impart the touch of
Oriental mystic and the pleasant,
living atmosphere that has been
supplied by Oriental weavings for
generations, to temples, mosques

the most enlightened part of
North America, where it is consid
ered a distinct mark of refine
ment and education to love a rich
Oriental rug.
And the Oriental rug is the most

lowest ebb and rates of exchange

surprise for you.
(A) Recently a lady in an apart
ment found that by placing her
davenport, chairs and table on the
floor of the living room, one very
choice Persian Lilihan rug, size
5.2x6.10, costing only $165, was all
she needed to make her
Only a properly select
ed and harmonized Ori
ental rug could have
supplied the wanted
rich effect.
For the same lady
one $72 Iran rug, size
6.2x33, was found suit
able in the entrance
hall.
(B) Another lady in
an apartment was hap
pily surprised when we
selected and placed two
rich, dark blue back
ground, Mongol rugs in
her lovely rooms amid
the wicker furniture.
These two highest qual
ity pieces, costing a to
tal of oniy $216, were
found to be sufficient.
(C) In another home
we were able to furnish
the dining room artis
tically with a beautiful
rich blue Chinese rug, the hall
with two smaller Persian rugs and
the living room with asmallSaruk
carpet. The whole outlay involved
only $1155.
With one grade less choice
quality, the same home could
have been satisfactorily decorat
ed for only $892.
(D) We are now able to furnish
.the living rooms of bungalows
with Oriental rugs in an artistic
and practical way at a price range
of about $175 to $300.
Even only one Oriental piece,
costing as little as $35 to $85,
would lend a live, artistic touch
to any home and the beauty of
it is, one may add more pieces as
they are wanted.
