BALKAN AND OTHER ARMIES

The success Of the Balkan League
over Turkey is abundantly explained
by the UNNECESSARILY superior prepare
ton of the former and the profound
secrecy Of that preparation until the
very moment when 1t was revealed In
the breaking Of the storm Of war. Yet
there remains to be explained the
astounding decline in efficiency Of the
Turkish army. Granted that 1t was
taken by surprise, 1t might have rallied
and made far better showing than 1t
did. 1t was probably equal II not actu-
ally superior to its assailants In num-
beers. Surely it should not have suf-
fered itself to be driven like flock
OF sheep. A generation ago the Turks
were the most stubborn fighters in
Europe. Now they have been put to
rout as they themselves routed the
Greeks in the war Of few years ago.
The cause of this astounding change
Of form" must be of interest to all
students of military affairs and also
Of general sociology.
1t does not appear that anything has
happened since 1877 thus to transform
the Turkish military character, unless
it be the recent liberal revolution. The
Hamidian era Of ferocity and iDtoler-
ance has been succeeded by an era Of
at least professed humanity and con-
stitutional equality. Religious bigotry
has also been so far abated as to per-
nit the admission of Christians and
other -Mahometans to the army.
1t is worthy of inquiry whether the
Christian levies have been as jealous
as Moslems in fighting for the Caliph
Of Islam: and also whether there has
been since the revolution general
slackening of faith and consequent
waning of that fierce fanaticism which
made Turkish soldiers of all the most
fearless Of death, the most audacious
In attack and the most stubborn in
defence.
There is also pregnant suggestion
of the possibility Of similar surprises
In other armies, II they should be put
to the practical test, such as may cause
some earnest Understanding on the
part of European general stats. The
Turkish army since the Russian war
Of 1877 has been under German in
struction and organization, while at
least some Of the states Of the Balkan

THE STATE.

Murphy is to be congratulated upon
bis enemies. What with those enc
mics" who always turn in and help MIN
elect his ticket, conducting mimic
war on him eleven months out OF the
twelve. and with the other enemies VINO
would rather fight each other than
fight him, though he commands the
favor Of only minority of the state
he now has everything In sight. lie
possesses the Legislature by such a
majority that he might as well be said
to have the whole thing. 1t is vest
pocket possession. And he has IN the
Governorship a man Of Tammany train
ing, with whom he has always hitherto
got on comfortably. When the Pro-
gressives contemplate the result they
should feel that their work in this state
has been selfish and a failure. They
have missed their aim to become one
of the two leading parties, and thus
Dust the Republican party from Its
column on the ballot and its share In
the election machinery. And they have
sacrificed the interests Of the state, ex-
posing 1t to another term Of Tammany
maladministration.
AS for Mr.. Sulzer. we hope he VIII
be better Governor than he has been
candidate. He couldn't make a worse
one than that He has said that his
only boss is under his own hat. APP
pearances were against him, however,
and The Tribune has been forced 10
point that out for the benefit of the
voters. The voters haven't paid much
attention to appearances, and we hope
they will be justified in their faith. IL
the new Governor proves that his nat
contains his only boss The Tribune
will be prompt TO acclaim him for MS
courage and independence.
His Astounding belief In his own des-
tiny should not fill Mr.. Sulzer with
the notion that he Is now on the road
to the White House. That Idea Is
bad one for any man to have under
his hat" He has assured the voters
several times during the present cam
paign that he is going to be Governor
for four years and not merely Tor
single term. If he will add up the
votes of his opponents and compare
them with his own he Will see that
he will probably have to look a good
deal better to the state at the end OF
his first term than he does now If he Is
to satisfy that ambition. Only MI
nority of the voters wanted him 10 Oe
Governor, and the division OF his OPP
ponents is not a safe thing for him 10
count on. He would do well TO be
careful about how much help he ac-
cepts from Murphy. One thing the
public is assured of is that Mr.. sulzer
as Governor will furnish lot OF III
teresting reading matter. We SIN
cerely hope it will all be to his credit

DR.. HOLINESS SERMON.
tor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: May so far appeal to your cour-
tesy and sense Of fair play as to ask
for sufficient space, even on the morning
following election. TO express my regret
at the editorial which you print this
morning In reference to the somewhat
exceptional circumstances at my church
on Sunday last, and to correct the misin-
formation upon which that editorial Is
based? / am free to confess that l was
troubled by the situation on Sunday, as
the frank discussion OF campaign In the
presence OF one OF the chief leaders In
volved-and that one the President OF the
nation-could be a pleasant experience
neither to the preacher nor to the listener.
The fact that the sermon was wholly
along idealistIc lines. discussed principles
and not men nor platforms, and had no
particular reference, either friendly or
hostile, to the President. did not alter tho
essential embarrassment OF the occasion,
as I think any one who IA human will
see. The story, however, that thought
of dropping my sermon and substituting
another at the last moment. or wanted to
do so, Is an invention of the same reporter
who interpreted the sermon as Bull
Moose" discourse. / agree with you most
emphatically that minister should al
ways preach his message without regard
to particular persons In his audience, and
I may perhaps be pardoned for believing
that under circumstances which may be
regarded as constituting test / did ex-
actIy this thing.

League have enjoyed the correspond
ing services of French officers. IL
would be uniting, no doubt, to judge
the efficiency of the armies OF those
great powers by the conduct OF tneir
pupils in the Near East, yet some
thought of such judgment can scarcei!
be repressed. There will inevitably De
speculation as to the manner in winch
the armies Of the great military pow

of sudden war, and particularly those
which have for many years been at
peace, so that-as in Germany anu

A coNvALEsCENT HOME
Needs of the Institution at Sum
nit, N. j.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The hrst home to be opened In the
United States for the care OF the con-
valescent poor was the Fresh Air and Con-
yalescent Home at Summit, n. j., founded
twenty-five years ago. II Is beautifully
situated among the hills Of Northern New
Jersey at an elevation Of 500 feet and
commands an extended view. No city
noise or dust can come to the ears and
threats OF those children who come from
hospitals or sick rooms The little thin,
pale faces grow plump and rosy there
under the care OF an efficient house
mother who, with her two assistants Zone
OF whom Is a trained nurse). keeps the
children happy while maintaining perfect
order, and teaches them many lessons In
self-control and better living.
The home is made up at present Of four
buildings, the main house, a school, play
pavilion and an inhrmary, besides stable.
In the summer II accommodates eighty
children, but In the winter only nifty. At
present It's managers and friends are eager
for a greater use 10 be made OF this
institution At all times Of the year II has
been necessary to turn aside applications
from pitifully needy cases because all the
free beds were filled and money could not
be found 10 pay the board (S3 week
each), which Il Is necessary to ask In
order to carry on the work. In the win
ter this is particularly distressing, and
many children who might stay until a
more perfect cure is effected must return
TO their homes. These children who come
In the winter need not fear falling behind
in their studies, as a daily school is car
ried on.
The endowment OF a free bed ia per-
petuity Is $4,000, and OF a summer bed
for four months is $500. The support OF
bed for a year is $3.50 and for three
months In the summer is $40. Smaller
gifts from those unable TO give so gener-
ously are gladly received and used for the
some purpose. to bring back health and
strength to poor little suffering human be-
ings who have not had q fair chance to
gain II for themselves.
The work is principally for New York
City. and the home must look there for
financial support. though the Summit
friends have always literally aided II.
Gifts would be most gratefully received
and can be sent to the president, Mrs. w.
dc Forest or TO the treasurer pro tenn,
