The Free City Of ConstantInopie.

To make Constantinople a great free
city under the protection OF the Powers
is part OF the newest plan proposed for
the solution OF the Turkish question
This necessarily eliminates the Turk
himself and places the responsibility
of % dismembered Ottoman empire
upon western Europe, That such a so
luton should be offered by the Constan-
tinople correspondent Of the Spectator
and editorially referred TO by that on
servative journal is an indication OF
the increasing pessimism in England re.
garding the ability Of the Young Turks
TO bring order and government out OF
Ottomanic chaos.
This tone, confined at first to the Con-
tineut, appears significant OF a maturer
a%fterthought that follows upon the eI-
preston OF general good wishes to the
new Government and admiration Of it's
early achievements. 1t has it's origin. the
correspondent states. in these conclu-
sions, drawn from a study Of the condi-
tions that the real forces that s,is-
tanned the revolution were not Turkish,
that the foundations Of Ottoman rule
in Europe have been sapped; that a re-
generated Turkish empire is a vain
dream, and that in a few years at the
most the Turk must leave to other
hands the future destinies Of European
Turkey.
To the patent and most discussed
obstacles in the Young Turks way
there may be added others that are
appearing each day. Into the newly
formed Parliament the virile Armenisns
and the less virile but equally long
suffering Syrian Christians come with
demands for autonomy; Bulgars, Greeks
and Serbs with claims for equal rights
backed by Governments that have
already won independence from Tur.
KEY; Albanians, one-third Mohammedan
and two-thirds Christian. with many
grievances; and Moelem Kurds, fanati-
cal sheikhs from Hedjax and El-Yemeu
and wild Arabs from the desert fringes
all with sturdy aIes Of Asiatic make
to grind. This confused assembly ID
less a convention OF. forces than Of an
tagonisms. Thea Young Turk is q
European party, yet it will not fuse with
Bulgar or Greek, and without some such
backing It's strength to rule Asiatic
Turkey is qnestioaed. The plan that
has been advanced to administer that
great country from Constantinople, a.
Austria Hungary administered Bosnia
or as England rules Egypt, seems fore
doomed to failure.

Ing ordered printed public document
an article by w. c. Dodge, former school
trustee OF this city, entitled The Schools
and School Buildings of the National Cap
ital-What They Are and How They Are
Obtained
The article is a spirited defense of the
local schools, which Mr.. Dodge says are
continually being assailed by outsiders
who are not acquainted sufficiently with
the facts. He pays particular attention to
an article by Cora Reese in the April
number of Good Housekeeping.
Mr.. Dodge says, among other things,
that Ii is not true that the children must
enter most of the school buildings here
through dark areaways as Miss Reese
says. He then enters upon an exhaustive
history Of the building up of the school
system, and declares that the people of
the District have practically no say IN
what sort OF schools they shall have. He
calls attention to the fact that the school
board has nearly always served without
salary.
I'm view of the foregoing facts he
concluded, which are matters OF rec
ord, l think every fair-minueu person
will agree with me that whatever there
may be in the school buildings or the
schools is the fault of Congress and not
OF the citizens, and that our treatment is
most unjust, and contrary to the princi-
Piles on which the national and state
governments are founded.
The wonder Is that under the sircun-
stances our schools could be what they
are, and all must agree that their pres
ent condition reflects great credit on
the school officials and teachers and the
citizens of the District"
He mentions the fact that Congress At
the last session provided for city aren't
