THE HIGH CRIME OF THE HOLD-UP (The following leading editorial appeared in the Springfield Re publican of March 4:) The Senates High Crime If there has been any performance in the United States Senate, chamber since the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson more disheartening than the present performance in relation to the peace treaty, what was it pray! The Senate is not functioning; it is pcrforminir. Both sides of the chamber reek with polities. Lodge is terrorized by Borah and Hitchcock is under the spell of the White House. "What moral right have we to keep Europe in a fog of uncer tainty as to America's ultimate policy whileour politicians "carry the treaty issue to the people" next autumn with the result that when the votes are counted no living man can tell what the people thought of the treaty? When the issue is reduced to its lowest terms. I Conceal it it seems to be a choice between these two reservations to article 10, heeds us all. which may be labeled for convenience's sake Republican and Dem ocratic : f Republican ; j The United States assumes no obligation to preserve the territorial integrity or political independence of any oth- fcr country or to interfere in controversies between nations whether members of the league or not under the provisions of article 10, or to employ the military or naval forces of the United States under any article of the treaty for any purpose, unless m any particular casehe Congress, which under the constitution has the sole power to declare war or authorize the employment of the military or naval forces of the United States, shall by act or joint resolution so " -. .provide. Democratic The United States declines to assume any legal or bind ing obligation to preserve the territorial integrity or political .independence of any other country under the provisions of w article 10,or to employ the military or naval forces of the . United States under any article of the treaty for any pur pose; but the Congress, which under the constitution has the sole power in the premises wilt consider and decide what moral obligation, if any, under the circumstances of any particular case, when it arises, should move the United States, in the interest of world peace and justice, to take action therein and will act accordingly. When a Feller Needs A Friend When a fellow really needs a friend is when, because of weakened eyes, he must hare someone else read to him. So many people, because of neglect of their eyes In ear lier life, are now depending upon others. Had they provided the friend liness of glasses to their eyes at the right time in their life, they would' still be en joying good eyesight and In dependence. An examination will reveal the true condition of one's eyes. It's a little thing to seek, but a big thing to get, and so important. Henry E. Morris & Co.

There is a sood deal of dissatis faction over the declaion, probably arrived at through British Influence, to retain the sultan at Constanti nople. Drivinc tbe Turk out of Europe has become a hopeful slogan with many people, but there are factors to militate against this con summation so devoutly to be wlsbel. The whole question Is largely a religious one, embodying respect for the susceptibilities of the Moslem faith, of whose adherents the world contains many millions. Britain's empire contains nearly two hundred millions of them, chiefly in India, all of whom recognize the sultan as their spiritual head, and Constanti nople as the sacred capital. To drive the sultan out of Constanti nople would be equivalent to driving the pope out of Rome, and the lcng- heralded "holy war." In which all Mosletna In every; part of the earth would combine against the Chris tians, might lecome a dread reality In such contingency. Britain Is tot alone In recognis ing this condition. Moft of the pow ers, including the United States, rule over lare Moslem communities The recent mistis girea us nearly a France African Moslem depend i-ncies. And in ad dition the Moslem faith is hell by ir.ormous quotas In Cbirt and Ja pan. It is therefore disturbing to Imag ine the stressful pass to which the allies must have been brought when Constantinople waa conceded to Rus sia, by secret treaty 'n the early days of the war. Russia must. Indet-d. have seemed to hoH thr whip band in those dread days tbe period when she was making her succenscs against Germany under the cxar. It is easy to see tbe ominous misgiving hich must have followed the bar gain, and the virulence with which the" allies are now repudiating It as against the Bolshevik government In Russia. The sultan ia mighty In his apparent weakness, and with all bis misrule and semlng Impotence will remain bis stronghold by. as Is now becoming obvious, the will of the bit; Kuropean powers. Dire eipediency must pro tect the Integrity of Constantinople for the Molens. otl.erwlae another and more terrible world war would seem Inevitable. It Is easy for tbe enthusiastic but uninformed to shout Ihite tbe Turk out ofa Europe" and to condemn the present action of the allies. It Is easy to cite a hundred reason, la eluding the Armenian atroctilea. for so doing. But the quettfor U far wider and deeper, as the Informed atS. TnrevC 1 1 ct , as - I J ! " Si sre poignantly aware. Not for noth ing did the Young Turk party, with all its progressive republican theor ies, retain the sultan In power with his religious supremacy. To Mos lems the sultan is no ordinary hu man being, no ordinary monarch, but has divine mandates direct from Cod. An Insult to their sultan Is an Insult to their religion, and to the Moslem his religion Is life Itself. World statesmen have therefore a mighty problem in regard to Tarkey. Every move they make now is watch ed by many millions of critical Mos lem eyes. The final solution will be found to leave the saltan and his Europesn possessions practically Intact, subject to essentia! restric tions and watchful guidance. But If the United States Is anilous to avoid entangling alliances It Is wis In Its dsy to refuse a mandate in that quarter. The Turkish ques tion is loaded to lbe tuunle.
