THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN
TURKEY.

We hear few details of the ex-
tensive military operations which the
Turkish government is undertaking in
Arabia, but their outcome is eagerly
awaited by students of Eastern af-
fairs. The Arabians have never been
conquered by Turkey, nor will the
present great expedition result in their
subjugation. The important point is
that such fighting as may occur will
take place in the immediate vicinity
of Mecca, and its capture by the Arabs
would be a vital blow to the born
Turkish rule.
In the days of Abdul Hamid, and be-
fore, the strength of Turkey lay in
her Asiatic possessions. Her mainstay
was the conservative and numerically
far stronger Mohammedan element
there. The body of the population was
in thorough sympathy with the semi
religious regime, and it was there that
the government found the material
for an army of undoubted loyalty. In
European Turkey, the other arm of
fhe empire, the reverse of all this was
true There the Christian elements
formed a strong faction, and their
chronic condition of rebellion kept the
Sultan on tenter hooks.
With the advent of the Young
Turks, Turkey in Europe, weak and
faction-torn though it was, assumed
the hegemony. Infused with European
ideals, it at once swept away the off
ciaI barriers between Christian and
Mohammedan. The Macedonian aues-
tion ceased to exist; but in dying it
outraged the privileges and feelings of
the real body of the empire.
There has been much skeptieism as
to whether the tail would long be al
lowed to wag the dog in this manner.
The question can only be answered in
time, for in country possessing such
The Washington times., 1911-02-20

tries, where gilt lace and embroidery
is found to be an excellent substitute
for an army and navy in making an
impression. But when it came to Am
bassador Hill, representative of these
United States, he felt that such'regi-
mentals would be out of keeping with
the democratic simplicity of the Gov
ernment from which he was ac-
credited. There were many specula-
tions as to what he would do about
the matter.
Inquiry discIoses the fact that the
tip given out by the Kaiser's court
marshal was not intended to be manda-
tory, but merely suggestive. Refusal
to wear knickerbockers would not be
equivalent TO a bid for passports. 1t
is, therefore, announced that the
American ambassador will continue to
appear in the Jeffersonian simplicity
of regulation dress suit. The claw
hammer is not thing of beauty, but
the trousers are, at all events, an .ex-
cellent substitute for the mantle of
charity in certain cases where nature
has not been lavish of her favors. No
body wants to rob Simon LOngshanks
of his unique place among the nick
names of history.

AMBASSADOR HILL STICKS TO
THE CLAWHAMMER.

The chroniclers of the small talk of
courts and kings have left it upon
record that the graceful limbs of the
youthful Earl of Essex stood him in
good stead in the spacious days. of
good Elizabeth. He never could have
climbed so fast and far if it had not
been a period of knickerbockers and
silver buckles, and all that sort of
thing. But times have changed, and
the average American minister or am
bassador has no special desire to
make holy show of himself and his
underpinning by appearing at state
functions in a style of raiment which
he thought he was through with when
he put away childish things.
1t caused some little CONSERVATION
the other day when it was announced
that the imperial court of Berlin
greatly preferred that the accredited
representatives of foreign governments
should appear in white satin knicker-
bockers, white silk stockings, and sill
yer buckles-for all the world as if
they were taking part in amateur
theatricals to pay off the church debt

nothing less than initiation of move
TO occupy the province and hold it
against eventualities of the future
1t is quite unaccountable that a
series of such sudden and remarkable
developments as have marked this
breach between Russia and China,
should have produced so little ap-
parent interest in this country, or so
slight evidence of concern at our State
Department. This country, but a few
wears ago, assumed leadership of the
nations in the project of maintaining
the integrity of China. Certainly our
foreign office had not lost all interest
in China, when it was trying to pry
Z way into the railroad investment
field, in behalf of American capitalists
who wanted to place their money in
China.
vt one time rather ultra diplomatic
methods were employed; the President
even sent a personal communication to
the regent of China, urging that a
proposed scheme of floating a foreign
loan should not be allowed, unless
the American bankers were permitted
participation in the transaction. As
suredly the present situation, which
forebodcs determined move of Rus
sia. with the evident consent of Japan
and England, to take possession of an
other slice of Chinese territory, is
vastly more serious as a menace to
the integrity of the empire. The United
States came off from its last encounter
with Russian diplomacy in rather dis
comfited condition. All the more rea-
som. it might be imagined, why in this
juncture our diplomats should be con-
cerned to give good account of them
selves, and to head off the possibility
of Russia making move that, once
inaugurated, may lead to the gravest
complications.

poor means of communication public
opinion can make itself felt only
slowly, and concerted movement is
next to impossible. But straws show
which way the. wind blows. The re-
volts in Turkey have heretofore been
revolts of a few Christians, put down
by overwhelming numbers of Moham-
medans. These are no longer serious
nor frequent. 1t is the Mohammedan
who is revolving now. Three months
ago the government was at war with
the Druses. Now it has far larger
uprising of Arabs on its hands. I'm
der Abdul the thought of Moham-
medans capturing Mecca from the
government would have been heresy.
Now that is an immediate possibility.
Its fall would be to the Turks ter
rife arraignment of Europeanized rule.
The progressive minority must be
awaiting tidings with bated breath.

WHY NOT A FEW HOURS FOR
DISTRICT LEGISLATIONl

We trust it may be no impertinence
to suggest, while the House of Repre-
sentatives has time to burn, and works
overtime in order to burn it, that the
District of Columbia is still waiting
for District Day, and has no chance
of getting one this session.
One tithe of the zeal, the eagerness,
the energy, that have been devoted to
the tillbuster in the House, beginning
last Friday forenoon, if given to the
pending business of the District,
would have made the present a red
letter session for the National Capital.
Congress has. had no time for Wash
ington. 1t has deprived the national
city of the rights guaranteed by its
pact with the Federal Government.
Always there has been something else
that interested Congress more.
The end of the session approaches,
and it is suddenly discovered that
there is necessity Of wasting time in
order that appropriation bills may be
jammcd together in the last hours and
passed under suspension of rules.
Why?
Is there something in these bills
that must not be subjected to con
sideration and real debate?
Clifford Pinchot, in his New Rochelle
speech on Sunday, warned Congress
that unthoughtcd legislation at this
time in the session is likely to prove
very bad. He declared that the town
is full of lobbyists and Holsters, try
ing to force things into bills that
never ought to go in them. He pleaded
for careful, understanding considera-
ton OF all the little amendments. -
lest they prove, when too late, the
means for getting immense properties
away from the people.
Mr.. Pinchot is not alone in his sus-
picions that an unusual amount of
special legislation is being pressed in
these last hours. Whether such sus-
Picions are justified or not, it is GER
tain that, in killing its time now, and
crowding matters so that great money
measures will have to be passed under
suspension of rules, the House man
ayers are doing exactly what the bene-
fciaries of trick legislation would
wish
The District gets nothing; the appro-
priation bills will pass under suspen-
sion; the Holsters. if such there be, will
have the very conditions most helpful
to their sort of game.
That sort of procedure will come
back to damn Congress and the day
is not far away when the public will
understand better than it now does.

RUSSIA D|SPLEASED
WITH CH|NA'S REPLY
Cars Government Reported
Ready to Seize the
Kuldja District.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 2O.-China's s
reply to Russia's semi-ultimatum was
received today. The answer falls so far
short of Russia's demands that 1t is
reported that the war office has con-
centrated large force on the frontier,
preparatory to seizing the Kuldja dis
trict of Chinese Turkestan.
China says that to grant RussIa's de-
mands would give the latter CONNER
cial monopoly in Mongolia, even to the
exclusion of Chinese trade.
The article in Russia's note demanded: 4:
Freedom to trade and liberty to travel
and reside for Russian subjects in Mon
golia and territories behind the great
wall"
China contends that 1t is an unwar-
ranted extension of the freedom of
trade, particularly as Russia demands
exemption from taxation for her people
No such liberties are provided for in
the treaty of 1881, according to the
Chinsse view.

a denial Of Russia's general contention
for freedom from Chinese tariffs.
In the main China contends that the
treaty has not been violated either in
letter or spirit. She points out several
alleged violations on Russia's part.
The expulsion of Chinese from the
east side of the Amur river and the
failure to indemnify China for prop
erty destroyed in the Russo-Japanese
war are cited as illustrations.

for it to make itself heard in connec-

Lineup of Powers.
Apparently the interests of Washing
ton and Berlin are substantially as one
in the present Chinese situation. The
alignment of powers, as now indicated,
places Germany, the United States, and
| China on one side, with Russia, Japan,
and Great Britain on the other. APP
parently, unless the United States
chooses to initiate a protest against the
latest developments in Western China,
the designs of the usso-British-Jap-
anese combination may be executed
without much fear of International in
reference.
The situation IS one frought with the
gravest possibilities. President Taft
has long been known as an ardent adj
vocate of a policy which should sustain
vigorously the fullest measure of Ameri-
can rights and equality in China, and
the complete integrity of the Chinese
empire. At this time there is peculiar
interest and significance IN the famous
speech which President Taft made at
Shanghai in the autumn of 1907. At tha t
time Mr.. Taft was Secretary of War,
making his famous trip around the
world, heralded and accepted every
where as the representative and spokes-
man of President Roosevelt. He was
invited to address representatives of the
business, official and professional
Chinese world. The heads of the gigan-
tic China Merchants Company and of

JACK LONDON'S LATEST
SEARCH FOR THRILLS.

The present whereabouts of one
Jack London has become matter of
interest, if not of international import
ance. The rumors of yesterday that,
while fighting in the ranks of the
Mexican insurrectos, he had been
wounded and captured by the federal
forces, lack confirmation today. At
the same time his bodily presence in
some other part of the world has not
given a material denial to the rumors.
The excitement incident to the big
mill at'Reno lasted him for several
months, but it was not TO be expected
that his adventurous spirit could be
content with inaction very long. The
thirty-four years of Jack London's life
have been as full of incident and ex-
citement as the career of any character
he ever drew in fiction. BY turn a
fisherman, a dock laborer, and sea-
man, he was one of the first to join
the great trek into the klondike in
1907. One of his later exploits was
to make a good many legs of a pro-
posed journey around the world in a
fifty-ton yacht. He turned back at
Tahiti, however, and attracted atten-
tion next at the rngside in Reno. His
power OF description and analysis is
freely conceded. The Call of the
Wild" has won lasting favor, which
some of his other works share in but
little less degree. If it be true that
he has joined the Mexican revolu-
tionists as a soldier of fortune his
career will be watched, not only by
the reading public, but by the gen
eral Government, with considerable in
terest.

Knox's Proposal Rejected.
Later Secretary Knox made his fam
Gus proposal for the equalization of the
Manchurian railway. This proposal was
rather contemporary rejected by Rus
sia and Japan in a fashion not at all
satisfying TO the self-respect Of Amer
lea. 1t has recently become known that
while this demand of the United States
was pending the Japanese and Russian
governments served notice upon China,
in substance. that they considered it
none of Americas business, and insisted
that China should not give encourage
ment to the American plan to neutralize
the Manchurian roads.
