The troubled state of affairs in Constantinople Thursday may not be getting any worse, but there certainly seems to be no improvement in good feeling between the Kemulists and the allied commissioners. Two Rrltish soldiers were assinated Wednesday at Kassispasha, according to the Constantinople correspondent of Petit Parisien. Colonel Charpy, commander of the French troops in the Constantinople area, told the correspondent he considered the situation one of the gravest nature. The allied generals and commissioners have informed Itafet Pasha, the governor of Constantinople, and Hamid Bey, envoy there of the deep dissatisfaction of the alliee over the attitude the Kemallsta have taken since they formally took over tb civil government. Despite allied protests however, Rafet has maintained all of the measures recently taken by the nationalists except the higher customs duties which he Imposed on foodstuffs. The attitude of the Kemallsts becomes stlffer every day and the extremists seem to be In power at An gora. An Indication of this was the reiteration Wednesday of the demand that the ullies evacuate both their mil itary and naval forces from Constantinople and surrounding districts. Ismet Pasha, foreign minister in the Turkish nationalists government, is in Constantinople waiting to receive a decision on th, P.rltish application for a of the peace conference at Lausanne before proceeding to that city. post-nemen- t of Liquor Law Expected Washington.

One of the most practical and at the same time, psychological solutions of the problem of the "war blind," seems to have been found by the Siemens-Halsk- e Works in Berlin, probably the largest concern in theworld . This firm has Just celebrated Its seventy-fiftbirthday. "Selmens City" as it is called, is accepted in every way as the model workingman's settlement. It was In conformity with this policy that the employees of the firm who wore called to the colors were promised that their Jobs would be awaiting them upon their return. This promise has been intercepted as not only meaning the nnd those who sustained only slight Injuries should be put back on the payroll, but literally, the "lame, the halt and the blind," are back in the workrooms. As the visitor enters the "blind ward humming and throbbing with the noise of scores of electrically-drivemachines, his eye is arrested by the unexpected presence of a herd of shepherd dogs, each of whom has his place under the table of the particular workman to whom he has been assigned s a guide. These animals have received a tbor-ougcourse of training and have been warned especially of the dangers of electrical machines. Their Intelligence Is nothing short of astounding, nnd their presence here bespeaks the care and thought that has been expnded upon every phase of this problem. .
