THE BALKAN PROBLEM.
FIX Minister BENJAMIN Holds Russian
Aggression Responsible for the War

The eyes Of the civilized world are now
turned upon the tremendous struggle in
progress In the Balkan peninsula and
1t was therefore an enjoyable privilege
for considerable number of people to
listen a the College Street Church Sun
day noon to an inside statement of the
situation. gained from personal observa-
ton by ex-Min. S. @. W. Benjamin, who
resided in Greece for many years and
who also gained familiarity with the
eastern problem while serving as United
States minister to Persia during an ex-
citing period in that country's history.
Mr.. BenJa min holds that the key to the
situation in southern Europe is Russian
encroachment, which aims at free route
to the Mediterranean for It's ships Of
war as we'll as a road to India Turkey
stands In the way Of Russian ambition
in southern Europe, and so long g Con-
stantinople remains in the unmolested
possession of the Turks. the Dardanelles
WILL be closed to Russian fleets.
Mr.. Benjamin holds that the Turks
have been pers!stenty and systematically
m!srepresented BY Russian interests. and
that they are far more tolerant than
might appear to the casual observer. In
the various provinces and principalities
OF Europe subject to the Turkish govern
ment the people are free to worship ac-
cord,ng 10 their own belief. and they are
| rot molested so long as they do not in
terfere with the government itself.
Russia and others OF like faith make
their religion part OF their crusade, and
the Greek patriarchs are constantly IN
citing adhersnts Of the Greek Church to
new cncroa chments in the most intoler-
ant manner THIS Is the view which holds
! that the fate of American missionaries
viii be much preferable under Turkish
domination of the Balkans than under
the rule OF the Greek Church for which
| Russia stands.
| Mr. BENJAMIN declares that while he
was In Persia his only trouble practically
grew out OF the Russian spirit Of EN-
! croachment. and this propaganda is all
the more dangerous and effective in view
/ NJ the fact that Russian diplomats are
tho most skilled and gentlemanly and
sraye in their relations with other consul.

miles, and would still constitute grea,

Mr. BENJAMIN showed that the term

by the late Mr. Gladstone. and that /,
was based on the false report that 4O,Os

FEDERAL OFFICES IN VERMONT.

The prospect of a change In the
sion of the Democratic party to power
for the first time in sixteen years has
been followed naturally by rush Of
candidates for the various federal
plums to be distributed BY the new
administration.
The two chief places have been re
garled as the collectorship of customs
In Burlington and in Newport. the
latter being the chief port of the dis
trict of Memphremagog, which was
created by division of the oil dis
trict Of Vermont when the great fight
over the collectorship ensued between
Col. z. NJ. Mansur and Hon. DIN Mer-
rll Inasmuch as the late United
States senator Redheld Proctor de.
sired TO See both of his favoritc lieu
tenants honored with tnis recognition
he conceived the idea of dividing the
district and this proposition was car
ried out.
TO those we'll posted with reference
to these positions the outlook of late
has been far less inviting than many
that not few members of Congress
have insisted that these and other
! similar places should be put on a bus
mess basis, and President Taft has
been authorized to institute measures
| looking to this end. one project Is 70
combine the two collectorshp districts
another is to make New York or Bos
ton the chief port and put the YER
mont ports under the direction ii
deputy collectors.
President Taft has characterize j
: his administration by the adoption %:
measures of economy through the APP
plication of business principles to the
various departments. and nobody need
be surprised at any time to see radical
changes made in the customs service
Steps In this direction had been dis
| cussed when the republicans were
looking for another vote Of confidence
from the people. AMI there is no rea.
son to believe that policies will be
changed because OF the prospect OF
retirement,
Under these circumstances the col.
lectorships have been far less attrac.
tive than under Col. b. b. Smalley, tlt
last man and the last democrat to pre-
side over the entire district Of Yer
mont: and the prospect Of consultat io-
or other radical change has had a still
further influence in the direction in
