Asiatic contingent she attempted to
transport to European Turkey were
drowned like rats endeavoring to cs-
cape from a doomed ship. while the
rest were driven back whence they
came in confusion and Decentralization.
The much heraldcd and vaunted mys-
terious coup of Envcr Bey that was
to redeem Ottoman military prestige
has ended in disastrous fasco. and
the counter revolution, tile Young
Turk usurpation. has been the fruitful
cause of anarchical internal political
conditions and mutInous, demonstra-
tons in the army.
1t is true that something did
threaten to turn up in tho reported
renewal OF strained relations between
Russia and Austria Hungary, over
tho disposition OF Albania and hege-
mony OF the Southern Slavs, and In
the rccrudescence Of the disagreement
between Roumania and Bulgaria on
their territorial issue. But it develops
that tho former danger existed more
in the minds and the desires of the
Vienna and the St Petersburg jour
nalistic jngos than in fact. AS to
the latter. 1t is given out on unuues-
tionable authority that the parties in
largest interest, outside Of Roumania
and Bulgaria, arc entirely confident
that satisfactory adjustment will be
reached.
Yet, granting that after all il comes
TO an armed clash between the dual
monarchy and Russia. and that Rou-
mania becomes involved. it is dincult
to see how Turkey could be benefited
by such eventuation. There would
only be more spoilsmen among whom
to divide the spells. including not
only possibly, but PROBABLY, CONSTANT
nople, which neither the allies nor
any of the powers want at present.
1t seems with Turkey clear case of
waiting and playing for something to
turn up which, however it might affect
the allies or the powers. could hardly
fail of the conclusion or turning her.

CAN WE HELP ,IExICo.

When the Balkan War threatened to
engage all Europe iii strife. we declar
cd that the attitude ~ modern nations
toward such n calamity would be \
tombstone of their civilization. If
Justice. truth and humanity had not en-
ablcd them to preserve peace. then
much that our times boast of is false.
Will not the same criterion apply to
What the United States Goes in the
Mexican affair?
At present it seems REASONABLY GER
tain that American life and property
viii be protected. The need for inter-
rontion-if there were ever any real
nccd--is for time and we hope for
ever, past. But i: is very certain
that unless some permanent and stable
form OF government be established in
the sister republic. revolutions and
costly changes OF officers will continue
The United States will always be in
terested both OH economic and humani-
tartan grounds.
Are we not. then, as a nation great
enough, powerful enough and wise
enough TO help Mexico to the freedom
she is vainly seeking? Are there not
of mere brute force to revenge a wrong
10 our own citizens? John Barrett's pro-
pcsal for board of mediation. COM
posed perhaps of Americans. Mexicans
and representatives OF other Latin
American countries. was scoffed at as
talk nf hue
and diplomatic amateur. We wonder
if It he not true that the American
people are more In sympathy with this
noble type OF emotional diplomacy
than in the dollar variety. Many Ameri-
cans would rather see their govern
ment peacefully Offering its counsel
and sympathy and service than to see
'ect big money.
Mr.. Barretts scheme may have been
visionary. II may be that Mexico
would not welcome any Interference
But we believe that the universal SEN
timcnt against war and it's terrible
price has developed n new way OF view
ing international relations. 1t is a re-
lection upon the entire Western
Hemisphere TO say that there liz not
justice and moderation and disintcrest-
ed unsclhshness in all its members to
enable them toeact as pcacemakers for
u broken and suffering people. We be-
iieve that North and South America
could Join TO help with their own Wis
dom and experience a nation struggling
upward.
