TURK MUST QUIT EUROPE. Former Ambassador Says Turk is Only Fit for Fighting. London, .Tan. 2G.?The demand for the expulsion of the Turks from Europe, included among the terms in the entente allied note in reply to President Wilson, is justified by Lord Bryce in his views on that phase of the entente reply, which were given to the Associated Press today. This is the first time the former ambassador to the United States has appeared in connection with the peace discussion, for while he has been carefully considering President Wilson's moves and the responses made to them, he has refrained from any utterance on the subject. Later the decided conclusions he has reached may be published. Concerning Turkey, however, Lord Bryce's views were formulated be fore the peace notes were excnangea and will appear in about a month for authorized publication in London and New York under government auspices. Owing to their direct bearing , upon the terms regarding Turkey laid down by the allies, he now has made them available to the Associated Press. Lord Bryce's Views. "No one who has studied the history of the near East for the last five centuries," said Lord Bryce, "will be surprised that the allied powers have declared their purpose to put an end to the rule of the Turk in Europe, and still less will he dissent from the determination to deliver the Christian population of what is called the Turkish empire, whether in Asia or in Europe, from the govern * HuririP' thpsp five cen JLUtJilL W uu. _ turies, has done nothing but oppress them. "These changes are, indeed, long overdue. They ought to have come more than a century ago, because it had then already become manifest that the Turk was hopelessly unfit to govern, with any approach to justice, subject races of different religion. Good Fighters. "The Turk has never been of any use for any purpose except for fighting. He cannot administer, though in his earlier days he had the sense to employ intelligent Christian administrators. He cannot secure justice. As a governing power, he has always shown himself incapable, corrupt and cruel. He has always destroyed; he has never created. "Those whom we call Turks are not a nation at all in the proper sense of the word. The Ottoman Turks were a small conquering tribe from Central Asia, who were ruled during the first two centuries of their conquests by a succession of singularly able and unscrupulous Sultans, who subjugated the Christian population of Asia Minor and Southeastern Europe, compelling part of these populations to embrace Mohammedanism and supporting their own , power by seizing the children of the rest, forcibly converting them to Islam and making out of tnem an eificient standing army of Janizaries, by whose valor and discipline the Turkish wars of conquest were carried on from the early fifteenth down into the nineteenth century. Robber Band. "As a famous English historian wrote, the Turks are nothing but a robber band encamped in the countries they have desolated. As Edmund Burke wrote, the Turks are savages with whom no civilized Christian nation ought to form any alliance. "Turkish rule ought to be ended in Europe, because, even in that small part of it which the Sultan still holds, it is alien power which has in that region been and now is oppressing or massacreeing, slaughtering or driving from their homes, the Christian population of Greek or Bulgarian stock. It ought to be turned out of the Western coast region of Asia Minor for a like reason. The peoples there are largely, perhaps, mostly Greekspeaking Christians. So ought it to be turned out of Constantinople, a city of incomparable commercial and political importance, with the guardianship of which it is unfit to be trusted. So ought it to be turned out of Armenia and Cilicia and Syria, where within the last two years it has been destroying its Christian subjects, the most peaceful and inon/1 int^iliprpnt r>art of the UUOIIIUUO OfUU, x population. Best Place for Them. "If the Turkish Sultanate is to be left in being at all, it may with the least injury to the world be suffered to exist in Central and Northern Asia Minor. There the population is mainly Mussulman and there are comparatively few Christians, and those only in the cities, to suffer from its misgovernment. Even there one would be sorry for its subjects, Mussulman as well as Christian, but the weak Turkish state, such as it would be then, could not venture on the crimes of which it has been guilty when it was comparatively strong.

York, Jan. 2S.?With simple and impressive ceremonies the funeral of i Congressman David Edward Finley was held at 11 o'clock this morning i from the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church, the interment fol-| lowing in Rosehill cemetery. There was such an outpouring of people to pay a last tribute of respect to the lamented congressman as had never been seen in the history of the town. They came from every county and every section of the Fifth district and from more distant parts of the State the numbers giving striking evidence of the esteem and affection in which Mr. Finley was held. A special train from Rock Hill brought more than 300 people from eastern York, while another special train from Chester brought a large contingent from that city and intermediate points. The special train from Washington, bearing the congressional delegation, irrived here shortly before 11 o'clock, being about two hours behind the schedule on account of engine troubles. The services in the church were conducted by the Rev. J. L. Oates, assisted by the Rev. T. T. Walsh and the Rev. E. -E. Gillespie. The Chester commandery of Knights Templar, of which Mr. Finley was a member, formed an honorary escort. Services were dispensed with at all the churches this morning in order that all might attend the funeral. The family has received hundreds of telegrams of condolence from Mr. Finley's colleagues and other friends in all parts of the country. The delegation from Washington left on the return trip at 3 o'clock this afternoon. wwwm-r* t mr /vrurc U UItJti niSD.i^tr a v uvx 1 Couple Held as Suspicious Until Friends Identify Them. Spartanburg, Jan. 25.?A case of more than usual interest was brought to the notice of the police yesterday, when it became known that a man was in the city and had been here several days, with a woman who was masquerading in man's clothing. The people were watched by the police for some time and at last were identified as Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Harrison, who are known all over the State as prominent newspaper workers. They have been identified with some of the best known newspapers in the State. When carried to the court they told the following story: Mr. Harrison had been at work here in the city getting material for a book he is to issue in a few days to be called "The Men of the Times in South Carolina." Mrs. Harrison wanted to go with him while he was getting up his work, but he was down on his luck and could not supply her clothes needed to go with him. At Mrs. Harrison's suggestion she cut off her hair and dressed up in one of his suits?it was ' ' " ' * - *- - J :? 1+ V. rrV, stated tnat ne naa iwu suils <uiuuu5u she had no clothing?and came with him here. They were held as suspicious characters at the city hall, but friends who had known them elsewhere identified them and they were released. Implied Innuendo. "I wonder if that waiter is spoofing me?"

"He keeps recommending brains." ?Louisville Courier-Journal. government are incurable has been most clearly shown by the fact that the Young Turkish gang who gained power when they had deposed Abdul Hamid, have surpassed even that monster of cruelty in their slaughter of unoffending Armenians. The committee of union and progress began by promising equal rights to all races and faiths. Sample of Its Union. "This was its 'union:' It proceeded forthwith not only to expell the Greek-speaking inhabitants of Western Asia Minor and to exterminate the Armenians, but to attempt to Turkify the Albanians, Moslems as well as Christians, ana to prescriDe their language. This is what 'union' has, in fact, meant. What 'progress' has meant in the hands of ruffians like Enver and Talaat, Prussianized Moslems worse than the old Turkish pashas, we have all seen within the last three years. "The Moslem peasant of Asia Minor is an honest, kindly fellow when not roused by fanaticism, but the Turk as a governing power is irreclaimable and the allied powers would have been false to all the principles of right and humanity for which they are fighting if tne*- had not proclaimed that no Turkisi. government shall hereafter be permitted to tyrannize over the subjects of another faith."
