Britain Obliged By Secret Treaty
to Defend
TURKISH ASlATIC BORDER
Turkey Backs Up Persia--She Is Ready
to Send 100000 Men to Fight
Against Russia, So She
Declares.
TURKISH ASIATIC BORDER

Teheran, Dec. ls.--Early fighting be-
tween the Turks and Russians near
Khor is probable. Turkey has informed
Persia that she is ready to employ 400.
600 men against Russia in Asia in the
event of war and will rely on the as.
sistance of the whole Persian nation in
defense of Islam.
All the tribes of Persia, including the
nomads, telegraph, urging the cabinet to
resist Russia and offering to fight to
the last man.
Russia is making frantic efforts TO
bring about the dismissal Of Mr.. w.
Morgan Shuster and is spending large
sums of money in trying to induce TWEEN
ty deputies to resign their seats, and
thus leave the Mejliss without quo
rum, when she can squeeze the cabinet
into submission. She also has distrib-
uted 100000 rubles to the poor and il
arranging for the distribution OF food,
as owing to the wintry weather and high
prices there is great distress at Teheran.
All these efforts, however, have up to
the present proved unavailing.
BY the famous secret treaty OF Cyprus
in 1878, England pledged herself to de.
fend Turkeys northern Asiatic frontier
in time of war. This treaty is still in
full force, and England holds Cyprus
in virtue to it.
The Mollahs at Shiraz, capital of the
province of Ears, have disregarded the

CURRENT COMMENT
Federal Action Ia Proper.

Public opinion win sustain the gov
eminent in any efforts taken to bring
to justice the perpetrators of the 100
or more lawless acts which wrecked
property in IL different states, and which
presumably are associated with the OPP
erations OF the two McNamaras and Nc
Manigal. Those three men did not do
their work alone and their accomplices,
high and low, should be made to answer.
The acts of destruction amounted to
reign of terror, and an example should
be made of the men who are responsible
for this revolt against law and order.
1t is certain that the chances of sue
cessful prosecution in II different states
would be much jeopardized, whereas the
national government can act with more
expedition and effect Every person who
believes in square deal, be he affiliat-
ed with capital or labor, should approve
OF the action. Not only did property
suffer, but the lives of many, including
that of the president, were in danger,
and the circumstances SIS whole are
such as to call for prosecution OF all
parties responsible for the acts of vio-
lence.-B Boston Globe.

Washington, Dec. ls.--In future civil

or charges and granted a reasonable
time to make answer in writing. This
right is granted under an amendment to
the civil service rules, the adoption of
which has just been made public Here
tofore employees have been dismissed or
reduced without notice. The new rule
provides that removal or reduction may
be imposed for any cause which will
promise the efficiency of the service, but
that like penalties shall be imposed for
like offenses and that no discrimination

MARBLE STRIKERS GIVE IN.
After Nineteen Weeks, 1900 of Them
Return UnuonditiOnslly.

New York, Dec. ls.--The general strike
of the marble workers in the shops and
on ffty-fye buildings was declared OF
Saturday and the strikers, 1900 in num-
Der, were instructed TO apply for work
to-day. The strike, which began nine
teen weeks ago, was declared off uneon-
ditionally, those who are re-employed
being re-employed under the terms Of
the Marble Industry Employers assoc
citation, against the members of which
the strike was originally directed.
The strikers have not only gained
nothing for their four months Of idle
ness, but they have also lost their I'M
ions, as they are TO go back as individ-
uals. 1t is possible that with the con-
sent of the employers they may form a
new union.

Mr.. DeBoer on the Stump.

Complying with the request contained
Ia literally signed invitation from Bur
lington citizens, that he address them in
behalf of his candidacy for the Repub-
lican gubernatorial nomination, Hon. J.
A. DeBoer of Montpelier made his sec
ond speech of the canvass at The Strong
theatre in that city last Thursday even
ing. One Burlington newspaper stated
that the theatre was "well-filled"; the
other that the audience numbered "be-
tween four hundred and five hundred
The newspapers agree that Mr.. De-
Boer gave an edifying address that was
closely followed and well received. He
dwelt largely on the somewhat unusual
conditions under which his canvass Is
proceeding, and it is clear that he will
make the manner of office seeking
prominent factor in his line of argi-
ment.
Admitting that he is not practical
politician, and conceding that he is an
idealist and altruist, he maintains his
right to answer the call of his fellow
citizens, which has come to him in an
unmistakable way, and become their
candidate. He says fanciful representa-
tions of his attitude have been made
he merely said when questioned, that
he would like to be governor, but had
no time to 90 up and down the state
seeking support In the usual way; if
there should be any apparent demand
for him he would enter the contest. The
demand had. come, voiced by public
meeting in his home city and by LET.
tiers from many parts of the state, and
he has done what he said he would un-
der these conditions.
Mr.. DeBoer repeats that he will not
conduct his canvass in the accepted way
will not hire manager; will not run
q publicity bureau; viii not personally
solicit support, will not pay expenses
of delegates, etc. He holds that there
is need of reform in campaign methods
to the end that it may be within the
reach of poor men to aspire to Office,
or of any man to do so without com
promising his conscience or his dignity,
He said it marked a changed public de-
meanor when, instead of the candidate
hiring the hall, those interested in his
cause did so, as in this case.
Mr.. DeBoer denied that the life insur-
auce company Of which he is the head
through its agents or otherwise, had en-
tered or would enter into the promo
tion of his candidacy. He paid his re-
spects to the peculiar attitude of his
home newspaper, saying its sincerity
would be better estimated il the con-
troll and ownership of the newspaper
were known.
As to the other issues, Mr. DeBoef
came out fatty for direct primaries and
for reform in our taxation system

low rate on intangibles. Randolph Her.
