Mr. Balfour, out behalf of Britain, did not mince words as to the menace contained in French insist-i ence on these demands. That menace, he declared, was against Britain. Under the! circumstances Britain could not agree to; any limitation on the destruction of de-I stroyers, anti-submarine craft and cruisers. For France M. Sarraut denied an implica-i tiun that submarines were to be used illeg-I itimately, and expressed surprise "that! French defense plans should arouse British, fears of aggression. Some observers believe that thevwhole question will be again dis- cussed at conferences to be held in Cannos,| France. where the allied premierswill meet. It is thought that the matter will form the .-basis of bargaining between Lloyd George and }. r{'iand on behalf of `heir respective countries; Others are not so hopeful`.

Herl forces are apparently unable to make fur-' ther advances against Angora. her treasury- is depleted, and thereis much unrest among the people. It is said that Britain has liftedj the embargo upon loans to Greece. imposed. `in January. 1921. and that Greece is auth-f orized to take steps to obtain loans ifro`m| British banks not to exceed fifteen million, pounds. A cardinal condition is that the; proceeds of such loa.ns be expended on the: purchase of supplies in Britain. There`. seems to be little doubt that negoti-r-tions looking to the ending of the war between, Greece and Turkey are pending. The chief , difficulty is to find a. way whereby Greece. may withdraw from herposition without` losing her dignity. She desires to iholdl concur. [But it is thought that certain con- cessions 'will be given to the allies there in return for the aid of the latter toward end- ` ing an intolerable. situation. The rich com-- mercial possibilities of Smjvr".-a are fiillv recognized by both Turks and Greece. The latter believes that the exploitation of that territory would soon enable her to `meet obligations to others and would prove a source of future revenue that would restore Greek finances to the healthy conditiongof a few years ago.

Pro- fessor William Bateson, one of the very foremost of British scientists, declared that science has outgrown the Darwinian theory of the origin of species. In other words, that the missing link in the evolution that has resulted in the human race is still missing. Most readers of _the older generation will remember the controversy still warmly raging in their day on Dar- -win s the/cries. In the language of the man on the street, it was ex-premed in the view that men were descendents /of~ monkeys; Students of evolution in these days ran against` new theories and evolved some of , their own.
