WAR IS THREATENED
Tlie broalt down of tha confer
cnee a) Lausanne beesuso tho
English and Turhs eosld not
greo in ay load to snother great
wr is reported by tone of the
forin (foreign) dispatches The
bone is said to be tho mandate
of Mosul a rich oil district In
ancient Babylonia but it is com-
plicated by many racial and na
tlonal enmities and ambitions
The very nature of the Turks
Is being used to advance the de-
signs of the advocates of war to
promote their ends They are
ndolent and contented until ar
roused then they are fierce
fatalistia fighters cruel and
rapacious conquerors They
have been tauwlit from their on
gin that )ho Christians were
awful prey and in some way
they have always contrived to
feed that ancient grudge Their
recent victory over the cowardly
and treacherous Creeks has ar-
roused the latent tiger and now-
backed by Russia Prance and
Bulgaria and joined by fanatical
Moslems from many lands they
imagine they will not only re
store their ancient glorj but
will add new Christian lands for
them i to harrj
(’ ranee and Russia have differ
ent ends in view in backing the
Turks Prance is 'jealous of
England and angry because she
would not help her in her recent
invasion of Germany and would
ike to see her defeated and her
power destroyed: hoping -that
her part "wquid be to see that
Gertrfiny remained impotent
-Russia has other objects in
view- Tiie dictators of Russia
having taken about all the mov
able wealth of that nation and
sold all the immovable' wealth
they could find buyers for now
find their immense army a big
and dangerous expense but one
they dare not do without If it
is possible for them to enlarge
the army and when Turkey and
England are exhausted jump in
and get Constantinople the key
to the East they vfill have killed
two birds with one stonegained
Russia's dream for a century
and secured their-own position
by becoming Russia's heroes
England stands practically
alone except for her colonies and
but few other nations can do
much in any way
Since the above was written
England and Franca have signi-
fied that they are not ready to
quit negotiations and fight it
out Neither is in any condi
tion for a successful war
A trial aa to contract was bad
in the office of C W Edwards
Tuesday in which parties living
in Indiana were sueiog on a
contract concerning some land
Two Altus attorneys represented
the litigants and all evidence

It was concerning land values

hitch up to the present but ev-
ery man has determined to show
that ho has well earned his
money by being as slow as it Is
possible to be and yet accom-
plish anything
The papers were prepared
and signed eomo weeks ago and
then the county ofiioers signet)

their turn at bat then the bond

Then you tptist havo your ltou-q
