ter general over the latter's proposed
recommendation that the government
acquire and operate all telegraph lines
as an adjunct Of the postal system.
Mr.. Hitchcock had been summoned
to the White House shortly before
noon and there had been reports that
the president was annoyed over the
publication of the matter at this time.
1t developed. however, that Mr.. Hitch
cock had called the matter to the pres
ident's attention a year ago, but to
make a more complete investigation
a delay had been decided upon. Mr..
Hitchcock had intended to bring the
matter up again in recent cabinet ses-
sions, but press of other business had
prevented.
1t also was said that the postmaster
generals recommendation would go to
congress according to schedule to re-
ceive such consideration as the lead
ers Of the house and senate saw fit
and without comment by the presi-
dent.
Speaker Champ Clark declared that
government ownership of the tele-
graph was too big a subject to discuss
until all the details of the postmaster
generals plans became known. Dem
ocratic Leader Underwood was Tetic-
ent, and Republican Leader Mann of
the house, treated the project gin
gerly.

New York.-Clarence H. Mackay,
president of the Postal Telegraph
company declared hat if the govern
ment took over the telegraph lines Of
the country as is desired by Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock, he believed the
investment would be Improbable. He
said the cost would be enormous and
he did not believe the plan would be
carried out as long as there was COM

THE step would lead to taking over
the telephone lines ALSO" said Mr..
Mckay. THE British government has
found this to be so. Two weeks ago
it took Over the telephone lines in
England at an enormous expense.
The telegraph and telephone lines

include the Independent telephone

they would be operated by the govern

Great Britain, where the losses on the

Willy Turk Lays Plot.

At first NJ. Tcharikoff's s plan seemed
to progress very favorably. The Turk.
ish foreign minister, Assim Bey, listened
willingly to his verbal proposals. which
had never been officially indorsed by
the czar. At last, however, when every
thing seemed settled and only smooth
sailing ahead. the willy AsMm induced
the Russian diplomat to put his pro-
posals in writing, thus giving them the
appearance of cmanating from the Rus
sian government.
AS soon as Assim Bey had this paper
IN his possession. he dropped NJ Tchari-
koff, whose whole card house collapsed
when the Turkish foreign minister COM
municsted the Russian proposals TO the
diplomatic representatives Of the other
great powers In Constantinople.

Has Many Angles.

Dark and inscrutable are ever the
paths Of Russian foreign politics and
wise indeed is the man who foreseos
their trend. As rule there are there
fore almost as many ideas of Russia g
secret plans as there are statesmen and
chancellors in Europe, but in this par
ucular case the German and Austrian
press agreed that the recalling of the
Russian minister from Constantinople
could mean nothing but further step
in the process Of liquidating Russia s
forward policy In Turkey.
From Turkey, however, now comes an
other explanation At any rate it has
the ring of truth and it has been in
dorsed by the Frankfurter Zeitung,
which is known verv often to voice the
opinion Of Baron Marshal Won Beiber-
stein. The explanation was that NJ.
Tcharikoff, who is n very young and
impulsive diplomat, had conceived the
ambitious plan of achieving immortal
glory by persuading Turkey to open
the straits of the Dardenelles to Rus
sa, which is always smarting under the
treaty that bottles up her Black Sea
squadron and makes it unavailable for
general use.

PARIS. April 6.-In France the un-
expected always happens. fact of
which we are now seeing fresh proof.
A year ago the general opinion in Eu-
rope, as well as among many French
men, was that France had passed its
elimination point, that its people over
refined or degenerate, were gradually
losing their love OF country, and that
the strong syndicalistic and anti-mili-
tarist movements, which appeared to
be growing stronger every day, were
signs OF the beginning OF the end, a
twilight of the gods, preceding the ex-
termination of France as great ma
tion.
Today as if by miracle we stand in
the midst Of patriotic renaissance. a
socialistic minister OF war has unex-
pectedly proved himself the Moses who
is TO lead his people out of the wilder
ness. though he or the system he rep
resents, like Moses, NAV not live poll
tically long enough to enter the prom
ised land.
There Is only one topic Of converse.
ton in France today, and il is one well
calculated to amaze those who have not
followed French events in recent
months.
"The New France is that topic,
and what this means to every man
woman and child throughout the coun-
try can only be realized by those who
have watched the symptoms.

Plots to restore a monarchy are, OF

Rovalists nor the Bonapartists making
any secret of their preferences: But

plots Is particularly extensive just at

The Bonapartist plan would be. not
to force their candidate upon the coun-

Emigration a Curse.

That famine and tho fearful results

fervently to suggest.
And 1t was landlordism which kept
the stream of emigration at floodtide

though the feudal and heartless system
itself is dead or dying, the evil it
worked in the years OF its unbridled
iniquity still lives so far as emigra.
