• TURKS TURN TO
BOLSHEVIKI IN
FORLORN HOPE
MOSCOW, July 26 (by Associated
Press).—Turkey turned to Soviet Rus
sia “as the sole nation which accepts
in fact the principles asserted in
theory at the close of the great war,”
* said Djamel Pasha, member of the
Young Turkish party, to a correspon
dent of the Associated Press. Djemel,
formerly Turkish minister of marine,
is on the allies’ extradition list.
“We are facing a crisis which in
volves our national existence. It is a
question of might against right, in
which we have been forced to a mo
mentous decision by the efttente pow
ers, as we were in 1914,” Djemal said.
, “After the conclusion of the armis
tice the Young Turksh party was dis
credited through British intrigues and
forced to turn over the government to
Izzet Pasha. Plans were begun for
the dismemberment of Turkey.
“Our hopes of saving Turkel, with
the exception of the loss of Arabia,
vanished as plans of the British and
French imperialists became clear and
Versailles treaty utterly repudiated
the principles asserted in President
Wilson’s fourteen points. Anatolian
Turks saw the inevitable outcome, and
the consequence was the revolt led by j
Mutsapha Kemal, ending in the estab-;
lishment of the provisional govern
ment of Angora, supported by the
^ Young Turkish party.
“The decisions of the San Remo con
ference and recent declarations of
President Wilson that the question of
the Dardanelles should be settled only
when Russia is able to participate in
the deliberations, plainly show that
the entente anticipate the eventual
restoration of the Cadet party, and
support the dismemberment policy.
“Realizing this last, we have turned
to Soviet Russia as the sole nation
which accepts in fact the principles
asserted in theory at the close of the
w great war.
“We are mined by the war, our
country is economically backward.
Russia offers us reciprocal trade en
gaments affording possibilities of eco
nomic development without the dan
ger of commercial exploitation such as
would inevitably suffer at the
tiands of the western capitalists.”
RED CROSS AND
Y. M. C. A, GIVE
PRISONERS AID
LONDON, July 26 (by Associated
Press).—Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, explorer,
who has just been here on a mission
for the repatriation of the prisoners of
war now in Russia, estimated that
there are still some 200,000 prisoners
of all nationalities in that country and
Siberia. Although the lot of the pri
soners in Siberia and Turkestan was
terrible, he said, the Russians were
not treating them badly.
“Considering the very bad condi
tions existing in Siberia and other
parts,” said Dr. Nansen, “the men are,
practically speaking, very little worse
off than the majority of the popula
tion.”
Dr. Nansen said that the great dif
ficulty in gettng the prisoners home
was transportation. He hoped, through
the League of Nations, to raise a loan
among the nations, neutrals as well as
late belligerents, for the purpose of
defraying the cost of bringing the men
home.
“America has been helping splendid
ly in this humanitarian work,” he said.
“Only a short time ago I received a
present of $3,000,000 for charitable
work among the prisoners, and besides
this the American Red Cross and Y. M.
C. A. is providing workers and com
forts-for the men.”

WHEAT WIZARD RECEIVES
DECORATION BY QUEEN’S
UNIVERSITY OF ONTARIO
PRINCE ALBERT, Can., July Ho (by!
Associated Press).—Seager Wheeler,
“wheat wizard,” whose improvements
on growing methods have made mil
lions of dollars for Canada farmers,
has had conferred upon him the degree
of doctor of laws by Queen’s univer
sity, Kingston, Ontario.
Wheeler is to wheat, his friends say,
what Luther Burbank is to flowers.
By selective breeding he originated
Marquis wheat, now western Canada’s
staple wheat. Red Robs, his latest,
ripens ten days earlier than any other
and, by escaping early frosts, is ex
pected to extend y?e wheat belt fron
tiers 100 miles north. Wheeler’s pro
duction of 82 bushels an acre is said
to be a world record.
Thousands visit Wheeler’s Saskatch
ewan farm yearly to study his growing
methods. Although others have pro
fited, he, it is said, has remained a
comparatively poor man.
“You have added enormousely to the
wealth of Canada and every settler is
a gainer by your researches,” R. Bruce
Taylor, president of Queen’s univer
sity, said in conferring the degree.
“What you have done can never be
undone.”
COLBY’S APPOINTMENT A SURPRISE
i _jiiu .... m tm mm in ifir u ip^iiw Ti iw m— -m~m i- ~~iri-n
President Wilson’s appointment
of Bainbridge Colby as secretary of
state to succeed Robert Lansing, has
evoked much comment throughout the
country. Mr. Colby was born at St.
Louis 51 years ago, and was gradu
ated from Williams college, Massa
chusetts. He spent one year at the
Columbia law school and has prac
ticed law in New York since 1892. He
was a member of the New York as
sembly in 1901-’02.
Mr. Colby was a lifelong Repub
lican until the famous Bull Moose
bolt at the Chicago convention in 1912.
When Colonel Roosevelt bolted the
convention Mr. Colby helped to found
the Progressive party and was a dele
gate to its Chicago convention. He
continued an active leader in the
party. When Col. Roosevelt threw
the weight of his influence to Charles
Evans Hughes in 1916, Mr. Colby iden
tified himself with the Democrats.
The surprise of the politicians is echoed in the press comments.
Almost immediately there was an acrid tilt in the senate between Senator
Reed of Missouri and Senator Ashurst of Arizona, both Democrats. Senator
^teedjdtterly^assaiied the appointment and Senator Ashurst defended it.
