Bridges chief critical work is John
Keats--A Critical Essay which he

volume on Millions Prosody." His
own poetry has never had wide sale,

American Diplomacy.

There Is remarkable difference
between the diplomacy OF Europe
and of the United States. If more
direct than tlrcumspect, the record
will indicateo that the United States
has been successful in obtaining
what is right and fair in its dealing
with foreign nations. The dlpio-
mats of Europe have marVeled at
the frankness and businessllke DIP
lomacy Of the United States. 10 be
consummate diplomat of Europe
one must be a doubIe-dealer, full Of
what the French style 'iinese," the
art of misleading from the main is
sue, and the seeking Of every ad-
vantage obtainable.
In the Mexican situation President
Wilson is developing diplomacy
somewhat amazing to Europe, and
no less mystifying to Huerta. HIS
plan Of action has been well con-
ceived and is being executed dellb-
erately through Secretary Of State
Bryan. The little OF the plan en-
trusted TO Governor Lind, Of which
the public have an inkling, has al
ready secured for President Wilson
the favorable view OF England and
France and other powers Of Europe.
As the Presidents programme is be
ing slowly developed, there is being
given him the assurance Of moral
and active support, if necessary,
that will relieve him of all embar-
rassment and will give the govern
ment free hand in dealing with
the complex conditions in Mexico.
It is no less significant to observe
that Great Britain and Japan, the
two nations who had given reeogni-
ton to Huerta, are suspending their
action and are giving favorable con-
sideration to the peace policy of the
United tSates towards the Mexican
Republic. and as if to emphasize it's
friendship for the United States
japan has declined to receives OFF,
cially General Diaz as q special am
hassador Of President Huerta. In the
face Of this fact II IS not surprising
that Huerta has reconsidered his
belligerency, as reported, towards
Governor Lind, who has been enter
tanned cordially by FREDERICK Gam
boa, Huerta's Minister Of Foreign
Affairs.
From these incidents may be fore
casled another triumph of American
diplomacy, dictated ina spirit which
can not be nliseonstrued or misap-
piled and whose only purpose is
peace and not war.

TURKEY TO GIVE
Up ADR|ANOPLE
Proposals of European Powers
Are Accepted by Porte.
ACTION WILL END WARFARE
Russian Pressure Is Brought to Bear
and Grand Council Votes to
Accept Terms in Joint
Note.

Constantinople, JAN 24-Turkey on
Wednesday submitted to the will of
the powers. The grand council of the
empire decided in favor of accepting
the proposals of Europe for a peace
settlement between Turkey and the
Balkan allies, which includes the ce-
ding of the fortress of Adrianople to
the allies
This section, it is believed here, will
lead to the resumption of the peace
conference in London and an early
termination thereof, with the allies
complete victors In the war with Tur-
key and in the diplomatic conflict that
followed it, without further bloodshed.
Some surprise was occasioned by
the action of the grand council, as
only Tuesday the porte sent instruc-
lions to It's delegates in London to
obtain from the powers explanations
of certain passages in the powers
note which were considered indefinite.
THE government turkey" said
the note, would have only itself to
blame If the prolongation of the war
had as consequence to put in ques-
tion the fate of the capital and per-
haps to extend hostilities to the Ash
attic provinces of the empire. In that
case the Turkish government could
not count on the success Of the efforts
of the powers to preserve it from dan
gers against which they had already
warned it and which they once more
warned it to avoid"
The powers then reminded the porte
that after the conclusion OF peace it
would need the moral and material
support of the powers to recover from
the effects of the war. The powers
intimated that Turkey would be I'M
able even to develop the only ter
ritory left to her unless she had the
benevolent support of the powers and
1t was plainly stated that Turkey
could not expect such support unless
she deferred to the counsel of the
powers
Following an imprisoned address
by the grand vizier, Kiemil Pasha,
the grand council almost unanimously
agreed to accede to the wishes of the
powers and instructed the grand
vizier to telegraph their decision to
the delegates In London forthwith.
In addition to the joint note of the
powers the porte received a note from
Russia enjoining Turkey to take only
such action as would insure peace.
Basing the final territorial settle
ment on the geographical outlines sug-
gested by the powers, Turkey is left
only the district surrounding Constan-
tinople, the peninsula of Gallipoli and
a narrow strip along the Sea Of Mar
mora and the Dardanelles.
