EUROPE OUTMANEUVERED
Jt is interesting to observe the not
entirely edifying spectacle of the Eu
ropean powers in their quarrel over
the spoils of the late war. Again in
ternational interest is centered at
Lausanne in Switzerland, where the
powers are trying to bring order out
of chaos. There has been no change
in the attitude of the nations so fa^
as selfish purposes are concerned,
since the previous conferences.
Yet there has been a decided change
in the basic trouble of the conference
and some neat footwork marks the ac
tion of some of the participants, no
tably France.
Somehow it seems that France is al
ways at the bottom ot European quar
rels, Though possibly it does not lol
low that France is always wrong. A
few months ago when Lloyd George
was playing the Greeks against Tur
key, France because alarmed and in
censed and took sides with the Ke
malist Turks, supplying them with
munitions and trained ability neces
sary to overthrow* the Greek advance
in Asia Minor. The defeat of the
Greeks was a roue Lloyd George then
went into the discard because England
would not support him in a war the
pirpose of which was to grab the
Turkish oil fields. The Kemalists as
sumed an exaggerated ego and told
the big powers in polite language to
chase themselves.
Meanwhile, the Lausanne confer
ence dragged on getting nowhere, and
one day the whole crowd of European
nesiers went into the air on an an
nouncement that Turkey had granted
vast concessions to an American syn
dicate headed by Admiral Chester.
While the Europeans were trying to
steal the concessions, the private con
cern from America stepped in and
skimmed off the cream, because, ac
cording to the Turks, they knew how
to do business on a business basis,
paying a fair price lor their privileges.
The United States, however, has
taken no stand on the Chester conces
ESS9
sions, beyond maintaining the right of
the open doer in the Near East. It
is not interested in the Chester en
terprise save to the extemt that our
government usually protects Ameri
can rights on foreign soil. If it is
found that those rights were obtain
ed legitimately it will defend them.
But the amusing part of the contro
versy is that France which sought and
failed to benefit by playing the Turk
ish government against Britain is very
deeply incensed because Che Ameri
cans won the concessions, and now
preparing for war against the Turks
in Syria. It is an enlightening illus
tration of the continual play of nation
against nation in Europe, and shows
how poor a chance America would
have in a League of Nations or world
court.
POINDEXTER COMPXNY TO
OPERATE NEAR FUTURE
A new organization will soon be en
! tering the development of the Cold
Bay oil fields in the near future, ac
cording to Ben Poindexter, who re
cently arrived from the states where
he completed the organization of the
Northern Oil and Development Com
pany in New York City. Mr. Poin
dexter is the locator of the ground
upon which the development work will
be done, the claims being adjacent to
the present holdings of other compa
nies now in the field.
Mr. Poindexter for many years past
has been identified with the develop
ment of various ventures in the north
and when the government threw open
the Cold Bay fields for location he
was among the first to secure claims,
with choice locations as the result. In
furthering his project he has made a
careful study of oil conditions in Tex
as and other oil fields and under ex
pert advice. In the near future a par
ty of engineers and geologists will ar
rive from the states to select the
drilling sites.

With nothino that has ever been done
in the vast multitude of films given
to the world, can you fairly compare

gettable emotion. And Douglas Fair,
banks as the noble D’Artagnan has
caught, with rare feeling, that inde
scribable "something” that enables
him truly to live the part.

Sometimes any decision is bettei
than no decision.
A Seward man gave his best girl a
synthetic diamond for an engagement
ring and now claims she is stone
blind.
There is many a man who may ad.
mit his wife is wrong or his political
party is wrong, but did you ever see
one who would admit his watch is
wrong.
Playing poker with strangers isn't
gambling; you have a chance in gamb
ling.
The best results obtained in dis
cussing prohibition are when you say
nothing.
Personally, we don’t mind money
when it talks out loud; it is when it
begins to whisper we get suspicious.
An optimist is a man who drops
26 stories in a 30-story building and at
the fourth floor remarks, “Well, I’m
still all right.’’
The only perfect advertisements are
those found in real estate ads.
Does a Russian girl take it as a
compliment when her sweetheart tells
her she is worth her weight in rubles.
The best way to get results in a
peace conference is to have the dele
gates hold it in a trench half full oi
water with shrapnel bursting over
head.
The trouble is that the men whc
cause the wars do not do any of tht
fighting.
The most completely lost of all days
is that one on wThich one has noi
