BI.OOMI.vcrrox. Kt.. Feb. 13. (By

spleech litsslf never lias been fount
and n ever will be found, were tht
thccr! '.s advanced by Dr. William K

Dr. B rton pok ■ at the State Nor
mii‘1 O.allegs on “The Kdwafclon ol
Abraham Lom oin" and later at tht
Lions' Club.
He spoke of fire intimate relation?
of Lincoln with Bloomington, and
especially of the "lost speech” de

which the Republican party of II
linoJa was organiz 'd, May 2(1, 185I5
Dr. Barton sail:
“I be'licve that the Peoria speech
must liav! contained the bone and

the lost speech eiw could have been

■'Lincoln probably tried to repro
duce it a few nights ilater at a ratiBl
cation meeting in Springfield, but
there caino out to that meeting or.Jy
Lincoln, his partner, William H.
Herndon, and an otherwise undistin
guished man. John P.iin. Lincoln
was oloctr l chairman without oppo
sition. and he took the chair amid
what the press report, prepared by
Herndon, described as ‘deafening
calls.' But do you suppose that Lin
coln repeated his lost speech to two
torn ur.d a hall of otherwise empty
ch i'.ts? Hr said Jits' enough to get
a good report in the papers. No
man can dieliver a great address to
empty chairs.
"The reporters wore so interested

J PARIS, Feb. 13.—Turkey is the
I'least bankrupt of any na.ion that
'•has taken an active part in the
i World War, according to 'information
react ting hero, not 'excepting England
; or France. The chief reason is that
' apparently she has conducted her
wars since 19J4 with the strictest
; economy. The prer-sen: Angora cr
| N'atl'onail government, which has been
1 fighting this Greeks and holding off
1 the Allied Powers since 1919, has re
sisted the temptation to print tip any
.now money.
The total pre-war and war deb; of
j Turkey, in-cliHtlng the charges Unit
; may be set against ibor at l.au inns
tor 'In the treaty of peace to pay dst.ni
! uges to fnrtign nationals, is c
i mated to run barely above $1,000,
! 000,000. This sum is regarded as
ridiculously law when it is remain
tiered that, by way of comparison.
France owes the United States a
war debt of $8,400,000.oow. and Ger
many owes the Allies approximately
$34,000,000,000.
Views of interest
j From a European roll.;. r.C view the
!'inter, ft tin Turkey Is partly pollul- j
j eal, e.si.'aela'lly iln wai times, and
•largely financial in |>cace times'.
AanorUmn interest al i> has been di
rected toward Turkey in tha past
few years With her tobacco crops. If,
writhing elaw, betnn bought up by
American firms.
An awalysiis of Thrifty's finances

after foolWh .Sultans and their cor-;
