PARTITIoNING TURKEY.

Whatever may be the outcome Of the
peace negotiations at London. II may
be assumed that the major part Of the
Turkish Empire in Europe is irretriev
ably lost to the Ottoman power. There
are, it is true. suggestions that Turkey,
under German Indictment and encour-
agement, may defeat all peace propOs-
ais, resume the war and reconquer
from the allies the ground which they
have gained That may not be impos-
sible. but judged upon any reasonable
ground it seems 50 grossly improbable
as TO be fantastic. If for no other
reason than that Germany would not
pursue course involving so much
Any hints to that effect which may be
put forth are probably pawns in the
game Of chaffering and haggling over
the terms which have been proposed
respectively by the allies and by Tur-
key.
1t is not to be supposed that either
party expects its terms 10 prevail COM
pletely or has presented them as an
ultimatum from which it will not re-
cede. Bulgaria can scarcely expect TO
confne Turkey within the lines of
Tchatadia and to establish Bull
garian frontage on the Sea Of Mar
mora, with Bulgarian feet on that
sea which would not only have Con-
stantinople at its mercy but would
danelles against all corners. If Turkey
acceded 10 that demand we should ex
pect to see the great powers interpose
their veto. On the other hand. Turkey
can scarcely hope TO prevent Bulgaria
from taking practically everything he
tween the Martha and the Struma riv-
ers. and thus gaining an extensive
frontage on the head of the Egean
Sea. or Greece from taking Thessaly.
Crete and most Of the Egean islands.
What is most interesting, however, il
the prospective enlargement Of Servia
and Montenegro. 1t may be assumed
that while the former kingdom may be
baked in her not unreasonable ambi-
ton to acquire the northern part Of the
vilayet of Scutari and thus gain a
frontage on the Adriatic, she will be
permitted to divide the saniak of Novi-
bazaar with Montenegro, and also to
annex the vilayet Of KossOvo and a
large part of Monastir, including the
important cities Of Prisrend. Uskub

area Of Servla will be nearly doubled

TOO MANY PENSIONS.

About the first thing which the
Democratic House Of Representatives
did after il reassembled this winter
was to pass pension bill for the bene-
fit Of participants in the Spanish war,
putting an additional burden of So
100000 a year on the Treasury. 1t is
only fourteen years since the brief
passage at arms with Spain, yet the
House voted TO apply TO participants
in that war rule of compensation
which was not applied TO pensioners or
the great Civil War and other earlier
wars until from twenty-five TO fifty
years after they had ended. 1t is
proposed to pay $12 a month TO wild
ows and minor children Of veterans
of the Spanish war Of ninety days
service. thus establishing system of
benefits which will probably run for
sixty years or more and he subject to
enlargement as payments to beneficial
ries with claims arising out Of the war
with Mexico and the Civil War show
signs of abatement.
1t seems TO he the aim of the pro-
moters of pension legislation TO keep
the governments annual pension out
lay from ever falling below $780,
100000. The Spanish war was marked
by few casualties. Hardly - per cent
OF the troops that served were ever
within range of the enemy, and the
great mass Of those who enlisted re-
turned to civil life without any shadow
OF a claim for disability contracted
in the service. Yet il Is evidently the
plan OF the pension agitators TO put
