CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. s.-Tur-
key Will continue the war. This deci-
sion was reached by the ministerial
council today after a long meeting at
which the future operations were thor
oughly canvassed.
I'VE will continue the war until our
forces are annihilated," was the state
ment made after the meeting. ma
jority Of the council was in favor OF
continuing hostilities.
Turkey thus rejects the mandate Of
the powers that she must seek peace
directly from the Balkan allies. The
turkish government is willing to rest
its fate with Europe, but It is not will
ing to enter into humiliating nerotia-
lions with the Balkan federation.

This has greatly increased the peril

THE GOLD SUPPLY.

The public will probably receive wlth
oualified gratitude the announcement
that the worlds output of gold is sun
increasing. Gold production has been
rising steadily in the last two decades.
In 1890 its value was only S11S,S4S.OOo
In 1900 the value had risen to S2o4,-
$4,000 and in 1909 to S454, 100000. In
1910 the Director Of the Mint reports
that II reached $466,O00,000.
The world has been deluged with the
yellow metal Each year now puts al
most as much fresh gold at public DIS
posal as every five years did a genera
tion ago. 1t is no wonder that stabliity
In values and prices has been upset ana
that the cost of living has increased
In 1896 this country resolved to stop the
imitation in prices due to the coinage Oh
silver. which had become so plentllui Us
TO lose about half its former value COM
pared with gold. Now through the enor-
nous increase in the production OF goid
many of the consequences have been
realized which vould have resulted from
continued coinage of silver, the goiu
output remaining stationary. The lnna-
ton of commodity values has Deen
worldwide. The decentralization OF silver
came none too soon. If the production
Of gold continues to increase 1t is even
possible to conceive of demand arising
for some sort OF check on the free coin
age Of gold.
Director Roberts's prediction that the
worlds gold production will not con-
tinue to Increase at the pace set since
1890 may be regarded as reassuring. lie
believes that the gold output will now
tend to become stationary. or even to de-
cline. thus giving time to digest the over
production Of the last two decades. Inc
world needs a little rest from the strain
Of readiustment put upon its economic
machinery.

FOR SrEyTLESS SKUNRS.

A war on skunks is being planned IN
New Jersey. TO be encouraged by the
payment Of a bounty for every one OF
the animals destroyed. The reference
is understood to be to the four-legged
and fur-bearing variety Of the ANIMAL
which has become so numerous as 10 De
nest, the bipedal variety presumably
being immune. The Indictment against
an interesting animal is twofold. One
charge is its alleged propensity for prey
ing on poultry, which has a foundation
of fact but is much exaggerated. The
skunk does now and then raid hen
roost, but as a rule only when unable 20
obtain the other food which he prerer'
and the taking of which IS no loss but
q positive gain to the farmer; and he
then takes merely enough to satisfy his
wants and never indulges in slaughter
for slaughter's sake, as do the mink and
weasel IL his perennial destruction OF
mice and noxious insects be taken into
account as an Offset to his occasional
taste for poultry, the balance Will be
largely III HiS ldNol'
The other count IS the odor with Which
he sometimes impregnates the adjacent
atmosphere It had been supposed, how
ever. that this trait had become almost
negligible since the general introduction
of the automobile. There Is ben fro
rato tale Of two able bodied members OF
the genus Mephitis which, when they
first saw and scented passing motor
car, sadly remarked 10 each other,
"Othello's occupation's gone"' and look
to the woods, to perfume the air no more
The gist Of the matter, however, Is
economic. The skunk is too valuable an
animal to suffer extinction. It's fat has
long been priced for pharmaceutical and
industrial purposes, while its fur Is beau
tiful and luxurious and it's disposition
gentle and playful. All that Is necessary,
then, to transform this outlaw into a
favorite domestic animal is to deprive 1t
of its power of offending the sense OF
smell. Surely there should be some zoo
logical Burbank competent to achieve
that task. And II he would be benefactor
of the race who should cause only one
bad smell to be smelled where several
were smelled before, the inventor Of the
scentless skunk would be entitled to high
recognition-let us say, to the bestowal
of one Of Mr. Carnegie's hero bounces!

Faulty TAXATION SCHEMES

Our London correspondents report OF
the practical failure of the new British
land tax scheme should not be surpris
ing to those whose views Of that meas
ure rose above the obscurities of preju-
dice and unreasoning impulse. The sys.
TEN was devised by Mr. Lloyd George
one Of the most ingenious and unhesi'
tating Of fiscal innovators, for the pur'
pose of making the great landholders
contribute more to the national revenue,
and his advocacy Of 1t was marked by
many characteristic comments upon the
"tax-dodging dukes" Beyond question
his purpose was commendable, provided
that the landholders were really avoid
ing their just share Of taxation, concern
Ing which there was much dispute, and
provided also that it was practicable to
attain the desired end by the means pro-
been the case. For what has hap
pened? Some landholders have sold
their surplus possessions and invested
the proceeds in foreign securities, thus
escaping taxation thereon, while others,
including, doubtless, the purchasers of
the lands which have just been sold,
have readily devised methods of putting
the increased tax upon their tenants
precisely the results which some
thoughtful critics of the measure anticl-
pated.
This experience is In line with the
previous experience of the people Of
London, who few years ago acclaimed
with joy the profuse expenditures on
public works which the Radical County
Council was making, on the supposi-
tion that the rich landowners Of the
metropolis would have to foot the bills.
but who ere long found out that they
themselves had to pay-tenants In in
creased rentals, and, even more, lodgers
in increased cost Of the food, clothing and
other supplies which they procured of
shopkeepers, who had been driven by
higher rentals to put higher prices upon
their wares. The significance Of that
experience was pointed out at the time
as a profitable lesson to New York as
well as TO London, and, indeed, to every
community, to remind voters that 1t is
practically impossible to confine the
exaction Of tribute to any one class and
that the burden Of paying public ex.
penditures is borne not alone by the di.
rect taxpayers but by all members Of
the community, and sometimes most Of
all by those who apparently pay no
taxes.
The remedy for this failure of their
schemes Of taxation which Mr.. Lloy d

BUILDING PROJECTIONS,
the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Borough President Miller of The
Bronx quotes a recent court decisioH as sus-
tanning his order prohibiting building projec-
ton as follows: SHOW windows whose cor
nices and glass fronts encroach upon the
public street from three to four feet and
entrance porticos encroaching over seven
feet on the highway are unlawful aud pub
lie nuisances"
Such has always been the case the legal
limit Of show windows being one foot and
for stoops seven feet. consequently projec-
tions beyond these limits have always been
illegal. II the quotation referred to repre-
sents the full sense Of the court decision 1t
does not sustain President Miller's order.
because 1t applies only to a building whose
projections extend beyond the legal limits.
1t would be as logical to say that because
a building whose walls project beyond the
lot line is illegal another building whose
wall stands true on the lot line Is Illegal.

THE TRIBUNE ALMANAC FOR 1912.

A year ago The Tribune Almanac was
doubled in size and the scope Of its con-
tents was greatly extended. The ex-
periment met with popular favor, and
the Almanac for 1912 contains even
more reading matter and is printed On
paper of better quality. The price re-
mains at 25 cents, the sum charged for
the smaller issues of years gone by.
The Tribune Almanac aims to cover
its field thoroughly and TO maintain a
proper balance in the treatment Of the
topics which a year book must include.
Accuracy and a careful choice OF mate
rial are its ideals. The activities of the
world have been so enlarged that to fur
nish a satisfactory summary Of any
years progress involves much more than
a routine collection Of facts 1t involves
their presentation in concise and or
derly manner and with a due sense of
proportion and subordination. All ex-
pectations cannot be met. In the last
the Almanac suggesting that the calen-
dar and astronomical sections should be
printed in a good deal larger type and
saying that IL this were done he would
gladly dispense with all the publications
other features. Another reader wrote
to urge that the Almanac give the party
vote in each election district In eacn
county of New York State-a task
which, in view of the wretchedly primi-
tive methods In vogue here Of collecting
and publishing election figures, would
involve enormous labor and delay the
appearance Of the publication until Feb
ruary I.
An American almanac is handicapped,
as compared with a foreign year book,
by the fact that our state elections fall
in November and that most OF the states
are dilatory and careless in canvassing
election returns. Exasperating delays
In getting figures put severe strain on
publication which must go to press be-
fore the end of December. and are often
the cause of shortcomings In a year
when a President or Congress Is
elected. But The Tribune takes pride
in the fact that In spite Of obvious diff
culties It has maintained an exceedingly
high standard Of accuracy In the Al
