THE BAGDAD RAILWAY
WILLIAM MITCHELL RAMSAY Scholar Intimate Knowledge of All
 Questions Affecting Asiatc Turkey

The universal opinion seems to be that an agreement has been substantially ar rived at between Germany and Russia regarding the Bagdad railway, according to which Russia recognizes the right of Germany to complete and work the line to Bagdad and Germany acknowledges the limitations of her rights for the advantage of Russia on the Russian and Persian sides of that line.
 Any person who Is capable of regard ing fairly the situation in the Near East must recognize that Germany has fully established claim to complete this line, and that she is obliged for her own honor and for her own interest to com plete it. That she would complete it, in spite of all difficulties which were in- terposed by nature or by the more or less yelled dislike and suspicion of other powers, has long been manifest. The sooner the fact is recognized, and the Obligations and conditions which will arise out of it are embodied in specific form by Europe generally, and by Eng land in particular, the better it will be for peace and the better for us.
 The Turks do not like the situation. They feel that they are still being treated by Europe as the sick man" by the physician. As yet the expression, ''spheres of influence" in Turkey, has been carefully avoided so far as one can learn, but none the less it Is true that this Russo-German agreement implies the first stage in a mutual recognition of such spheres. This agreement is, in truth, the most serious blow to Turkish prestige that has been struck in recent times; and 1t is not strange that the Young Turks, who have been striving 50 zealously to galvanize Turkey into life, feel bitterly the nature of the arrange ment as the beginning of a partition of their country among the great powers. But probably the verdict of history will be that the Young Turks have had their degree; but they have not recognized that chance, and up to the present time have, on the whole, failed. They have done

FINAL EFFORT TO
 REACH SNOW RANGE
British Explorers in Dutch New Guinea Will Make . Last
 Dash

London February 11.-(Special)-Mr.
 W. R. Ogilvie Grant, the originator and the secretary of the British expedition Tn ter that the explorers now in New Gui- nea intended to make one final effort to
 reach the snow range, which Is the ob-
 jective of the expedition. The dash 70

 Christmas day.
 A letter dated October 29.s written by
 MT. Claude Grant, announces his arrival
 on October at camp on the range,
 where the pygmies have clearing and
 village He got in touch with the pyg-
 mics of whom he had secured measure
 ments. The average height is feet $
 inches.
 "On October 2S,' he says, 'I paid my last visit to them. They were not nearly so friendly as when I saw them before. They refused to- be photographed or to
 have their heights taken. though I was
 able to judge this more or less accu- rately as they stood beside men already measured
 The pygmies measured by Mir. Grant varied in age from old men to youths of twenty. The explorer adds: This lis without question, the most difficult country have ever worked in, and the
 most terrible to move about in" r Referring to the final dash to the
 mountaains. Captain Rawling says: "As
 soon as our coolies arrived. we shall make our final effort. Possibly we make be able to cut our way at the rate of about two miles day. and if this can be maintained for IF days we shall be very close to the great mass of Car stang"
 pr. woleston gives a graphic &C., count of the difficulties daily encounter ed by his colleagues and himself. He says: At the first camping place. an island in the middle of the river, I was nearly washed away by flood. but luck fly lost nothing of importance but one boot. The natives threatened all the time to go back, leaving me and a Gurkha
 and precious loads, and it took all my pa-
 tience and cabling to persuade them to stop.
 "The going Is horribly bad. Today I have crossed twenty-three rivers and streams of various sizes and swiftness.

much good; they have improved the con- dition of the country in a considerable degree; bue they have not recognized that peace was necessary for Turkey. reinvig- orated by a successful war. They haze aimed at making a strong army with a view to that end. They thought that, just as the German empire was unified (so they fancy, and so some minimizing people in the West fancy) by the war of 1870. so Turkey could be unified and Otto manized by some military triumph. They made Japan their model without doing any of the hard work that Japan did They could not see the deep and strong ideas which wrought themselves into German unity. They had no ideals to satisfy and content the aspirations of the non-Ottoman races of Turkey who con- stitute tue vast majority of the popula- ton, Arabs, Greeks, ArmeGians. Alba nians. and so on, some of whom hated the Ottoman Turks with an unquench- able hatred and none of whom loved or respected the Turks.
 Instead of trying to create such ideals and to inspire a sentiment of affection and patriotism, they attempted forcibly to Ottomanize the non-Ottoman races. They have failed. The days of Ottoman rule are not exactly numbered as yet, but the progress of counting has begun.
 
 game wisely, they would have encourag- ed American enterprises by every possi- ble means. They had abundant oppor- tunity. American capitalists were al most as eager to help as American mis- sionares have been. With some trivial exceptions, they have all, missionaries and capitalists alike, been suspected and discouraged. The missionaries could not be turned away, they were too strongly est A blished. they were endured and some crumbs were given to them; but the cap atalists were all suspected as enemies, and got no encouragement of opening that could possibly be refused to them.

 A Leipzig paper publishes an extraor- dinary public appeal from an actress, who married an ex-priest of the Catholic church. She accuses the Catholic clergy of ruining her life and destroying her married happiness.
 Johann Koschtzki, 28 years, was curate at the Church of the Holy Trinity, Leip- zig. Last June he left Leipzig and went to Eger, in Bohemia, where, after in forming the Catholic authorities of Lep- zig that he had quilted the church, he was married to Rosie Kloetzl, a Vienna actress.
 Soon afterwards he returned to Leip- zig. His former co-religlonists, who re- garded the marriage of priest as no marriage at all. made every effort to bring him back to the faith. He was bcmbarded with letters and telegrams. which had a terrible effect on his peace of mind. On Christmas day he received several telegrams, written In Latin. im- ploring him to repent and to return to the church.
 On December 27 the distracted man went to Vienna to confer with a Catholic priest. He had been away from home three times since his marriage but he did not return from the fourth journey. Instead came & letter for the actress asking pardon. "A shattered human heart sends a last greeting from the world. Yours. JOHANN"
 He had resolved to do penance for his sin. Taking every precaution that his destination should not be known, he left Vienna for the monastery of an austere order in Germany. The actress was told that she could not see Koschitzki. and let ters sent by her were not delivered. Both are subjects of the King of Saxony, and, according to the National Zietung," the matter will be brought up in the reichstag and demand made for the wife's pro- lection against the ecclesiastical authori- ties who have influenced her husband.

Although the staff of nurses on the hospital books numbered 65, for whom full salaries were always drawn, 1t Is alleged that only three were really employed. The neglect that appears to have been permitted is al- most incredible Evidence proves that numbers of infants were 7ound dead in their cots with the tubes of empty feed ing bottles in their mouths, and that a considerable proportion of the deaths re- corded were due to starvation.
