The Partition of Turkey,

There seem to be troubles ahead for
Turkey. judging from the ominous dis
turpances i'll Macedonia. These fami-
liar with the Eastern question say that
these disturbances mean an organized
uprising against Turkish rule in the
spring in which Servia and Bulgaria
will join. When the storm really breaks
over the Balkans the clouds are not
likely to clear away until at least the
European part of Turkey is wiped from
the map. Part of the Turkish PROVING
IS Will be gobbled up by Russia and
Austria will get those next to her.
Greece may get small Slice
A London correspondent SAYS that
while England and Germany are the
nominal friends of Turkey, they will
not lift a finger in her behalf. 1t is
suggested that England will get in the
division of the spoils a full title to
Egypt, while Germany and France will
be allotted territories in Asia Minor
ana Syria. Germany would like very
much the control of Palestine and the
overland route to the Persian gulf.
whilo France is extremely DESTROYS of
ASA Minor, to which Russia would not
ooJect. There has long been predicted
European war over Turkey, but now
It IS said the time is ripe for a simple
division of spoils.

The statement given out on authority
that the great railroad lines of this
country propose to spend the vast sum
OF SIT. 100000 in 1905 on betterments and
extensions is good index to the gener-
the railroads are prospecting, and their
is the result of the prosper
ity Of agriculture and the manufac-
turtles. The freight congestion has
been problem of the past few years
and possibly the contemplated enlarge
ment of facilities will help this
difficulty, though the increasing bust
ness is pretty likely to keep pace with
the improvements.

New Works FOREIGN Element.

This week New York the American
metropolis celebrates its 250th ami
versary. In date of actual settlement
the city dates back nearer three
centuries, as the Dutch traders es-
tablished themselves there in 1923. and
it was in 1926 that they bought Manifat-.
tan Island from the Indians for the
sum of $24. But it was in 1858 that
Governor Peter Stuyvesant first. instr
tuted a form of local civil government
from which the real civic history of. the
city began. Then it was a Dutch city,.
New Amsterdam by name. Later the
English captured it and gave it a new
name and also some new. laws and GUS
toms. Few traces of it's Dutch origin
survive, and yet some of the papers
are prompted by the present annivers-.
airy to observe that it is in many es-
sential things almost as completely. a
foreign city as when the Bowery was
included in Governor Stuyvesants pri-
waite grounds.
| The Boston Advertiser points out that
of New York's vast population rs per
cent is either foreign born or born of
foreign born parents. In New York
city proper, that is below the Bronx,
the foreign. ratio is steadily increasing.
The immigration each year is immense
and the birth rate among the foreign
element far surpasses that among the
natives The fecundity of the for
eigners, as the New York Sun points
out, is most remarkable among the
Jews, who are coming to the front
faster in New York city than any other
people, They are not so active. polite
ally, us the Irish, but they are gradual
ly absorbing whole sections of the
down town districts. BY Jews, in this
sense. we do not mean the wealthy
business men Of that faith who scatter
about up town, but the solid masses of
Russian and Roumanian Jews who
of mixing with the rest of our people.
New York today is one-sixth Jewish,
they being almost half as numerous as
the Roman Catholics, while the Profess
tants are only half the population.
When we talk about the wide OPEN"
New York, its gambling. its continent
tai Sabbath, its police, and its public adj
ministration. we must bear in mind
that it is no longer an American city,
but great cosmopolitan centre, like |
London, and must be measured by that |
standard.
