TURKS FAIL TO
REALIZE THEY
AREJMHED
LONDON, March 1 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—The
Turks are by no means convinced that
they are vanquished, and show few
signs or regret that they were ever
the allies of the central powers, ac
cording to a French correspondent
who has returned from Constanti
nople. The correspondent attributes
this failure on the part of the Turks
to realize their actual situation to the
fact that the British and French com
manders in the Turkish capital have
not acted like conquerors 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
Allies and of the definite crushing of
the German military power, and adds
that this is due to the fact that the
allied troops did not enter Stamboul
with flying flags, 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 administra
tive offices and police the city.
The committee of Union and Prog
ress no longer exists, legally, says the
Frenchman, but its creatures still oc
cupy their posts in the ministries and
in the police service,” he continued.
“This frequently takes the form of
spreading rumors of disagreement be
tween France and England on the
subject of the future of Turkey. They
assert that it would be to the advant
age of England and France to placate
Turkey and to leave Constantinople
as the Turkish capital.
“On one of the Princes islands—
Prinkipo—the German Marshal von
Sanders Liman Pascha, is comfortably
lodged and receives the adherents of
the qld regime and, between dessert
and cheese, they openly plot against
us without fear of disturbance.
“The Germans who knew the Turks
treated them as they should be treat
ed. with brutal force, and that is the
only attitude which can be adopted
toward them. We should bring home
to them the realization that the allies
are in reality the conquerors. We
must act with energy and firmness, if
we desire to retain our predominant
influence in Turkey.”

■WOMEN WORKERS REFUSE
TO GIVE UP THEIR JOBS
LONDON, March 28 (by the Associ
ated Press).—An economic battle is
being waged over the 1,500,000 unem
ployed women of the country who
I earned good wages, chiefly as muni
tions workers during the war. Some
English newspapers and commenta
tors are asking if a sex war is one of
the sinister possibilities of the future,
f They point out that the situation is
more dangerous than when the suf
fragettes were wont to smash win
dows and terrorize the London police
because the women did not then.know
the full measure of their power.
Since the armistice .was signed it
has become more and more apparent
that these 1,500,000 women workers
would have to return to private life so
as to give opportunity of employment
for returning soldiers. But they have
not accepted the situation with good
grace, and have answered the chal
lenge of the economic condition by
strong organizations whose avowed
intention is to safeguard the position
of women in industry.
The most important of these is
Lady Rhondda’s newly inaugurated
Woman’s Industrial League, which has
opened offices in London and sent or
ganizers into all parts of the country.
Lady Rhonddas plans are viewed with
suspicion and some measure of dis
trust by professional women labor
leaders.
Dr. Marion Phillips, chief woman of
ficer of the labor party, asserts that
the agitation conducted by Lady
Rhondda’s league is calculated to lead
to bitterness and sex strife between
men and women workers.

HOUSE OF COMMONS
VERITABLE QUESTION BOX
LONDON, March 28.—The new
House of Commons is proving itself
one of the most inquisitive of recent
years. This, too, despite the absence
of the Irish members who, in previous
years, have filled the question paper
with inquiries.
Since the opening of the parliament
the number of questions to ministers
has averaged well over 200 and some
days has reached nearer 300. As only
an hour is allowed each day for the
asking and answering of questions
only about a hundred can be dealt
with daily, the others being answered
in writing. This does not satisfy the
curiosity of the new members, who re
cently asked that the time should be
extended by an hour and a quarter.
In refusing the request, Mr. Bonar
Law, the government leader in the
House of Commons, said every ques
tion asked cost the country five dol
lars, chiefly in printing, not counting
the time of the permanent staffs of
the different departments, who have to
collect the data.
