CT or Turkey.
 This is the nomination persons who keep their fingers on the pulses of the nations give to the editor-coi- onel, instead of the pres. .dential stan dard-bearer of the republican party which MT. Roosevelt says he won't accept anyway.
 In every age of the worlds history. there have been weaker nations whose rise from practical obscurity has been brought about by the Eng hshmen or Americans who have pitted their Anglo-Saxon brains and ideas aga.nst the encroacnment of oriental sloth.
 The big examples are Curzon, Of India, Kitchener, of Egypt; Lord Cromer and finally Morgan w. Schus- ter, Washington boy who was recom- mended by the state department to reOrganize the finances of Persia. But behind all these men there have been scores of intrepid men-Soldiers Of Fortune. they are called when of less calibre than, Cromer. Kitchener and Schuster, who have had much to do with the civilization of the world.
 
 work is known through all the Seven Seas; there now is, 1t is whispered, Sir Hector Macdonald, Fighting Mac of Transvaal fame. who was sup posed to have died a dissraced sui eide in Paris, but who is said to have been seen training the Chinese Imperial troops in a distant valley in the intehior of the Dragon kingdom.
 And it is with men like these that folks have begun to link the name of Theodore Roosevelt, in the past few weeks.
 England Talks of lt
 There has not been so much said of this suggestion in the United States, but abroad, in London papers and in periodicals dealing with the situation in the near east. many com munications from the United States, and even from Washington have been printed, declaring Mir Roosevelt is the man to save Turkey.
 Mir. Roosevelt would not accomplish this as Lord Byron aided the rise of Greece. He would not, perhaps carry 1t out with the educational systems applied by Mad" Kitchener to the wild Egyptian Fellaheen with such success. in the face or uu antagonistic comment. He probably would hot adopt the military tactics of Chinese Gordon, but those wao are suggesting the possibility Of such a move be- lieye that the former president would exert a constructive influence. not en- tirely confined to civic progression one one hand, nor necessarily partak- ing of militarism on the other hand which might be the specific remedy needed to set the government of the young Turks upon its feet.
 Would Equal Cromer
 The discussion of this possib bility-| for it is hardly more than a discus sion, though an interesting one-was begun by the publication in England of editorials headed Turkey needs Lord CromeT To develop her latent rel sources"
 Another periodical of influence fol lowed with the assertion that an ad visor like cur Lord CUrzon" even for a year, would work wonders with the realm of the deposed Sultan.
 Those who believe that the only sal vation of Turkey as a nation, rests in 
 tegrity, declare no new promises are needed from Turkey. But that the Bosphorus kingdom requires a deliy- erer who will do what Turkey already has promised many times. Even in the midst of Turkeys war with Italy, when the larger interests of the world are bound to be more or less affected by the unrest, experts ln international politics declare new promises will not dispel the distrust of the Americans, the Alabanian and other Christians, who have ever before them a com plete and tragic collection Of broken Turkish promises.
 An American Needed
 The suggestion that Col. Roosevelt Is the man for the work Of rehabilita- ting Turkey in the eyes of the world rests principally on the belief that Cromer and Curzon, both Britons, nev- CT would be acceptable to the Triple Alliance or to Russia
 Therefore, it Is argued the natural sequence will be to follow the lead Of Persia, who drew from America, a nation neutral in the Triple Ali ance, and above suspicion of interior motive, the man wno is to reorgan- ize the government.
 With W. Morgan Schuster tied up with aifairs in Persia with Curzon and Cromer elimated by the ban of international policy. it is urged that Roosevelt is the natural, logical and probable man for the pace.
 Has Had Experience
 Among others who have taken this view is Dr. Trenzio TOcci, president of the short lived provisional govern ment" of Albania. He hesitated not a whit in declaring publicly that Roosevelt, former ruler of nation of a hundred million persons, the
