VILLAS PATRIOTISM.

Reading and thinking people have
long since come to know that patriot
ism is seldom if ever unalloyed.
Many before and many since the
time of Julius Caesar have thrice re-
fused the crown while actually WELD
ing the scepter. What the world
calls patriotism, the socalled patriot
knows is the prompting of personal
ambition in the great majority of in
stances.
But most socalled patriots have
the wisdom to conceal their personal
motives and ambitions, only to bring
them forward at the psychological
moment. 1t is not so with Villa the
scourge of the Mexican nation. In
the. beginning of his career people
wondered if a man of such low ORR
gin, of such a bloodthirsty and vi
cious career could really feel the i'm
pulse of patriotism. He fought
bravely and sagaciously; he talked
fairly; but through it all, he was
only paving the way for his personal
ambition. Villa has had his eye on
the Presidency from the beginning,
and it makes no difference to him
how much property is destroyed or
how many poor, ignorant persons
lose their lives. He has his army
now, and it will follow him with
that blind enthusiasm that soldiers
usually feel for a successful leader,
and he has thrown off all disguise.
The wonder is that a man so de-
PRAYED, a man whose hands are
stained with thefts and murders
without number, would ha We the as
surance to aspire to the presidency.
No selt-respecting nation could afford
to recognize his government even if
he should be successful. His own
people, in a state of peace could not
respect him, and he could keep peace
only by a policy of the %strictest mil
itaryism.
The question arises, what must be
the attitude of the United States in
case Villa succeeds to the presidency?
Mexico is a next door neighbor and
business relations must ~necessarily
he very close between that country
and this. Villa has already given
ample evidence of his treacherous
nature by numbering and attempting
to conceal the murder of American
citizens. Can this country afford to
allow him to be made president of
Mexico?
While the president has dealt wise
ly with Mexico in the main, it does
seem that it would be the part of
wisdom for President Wilson to say
now and in no uncertain terms that
he will not recognize Villa nor any

TURKEY LIMITS PAYMENT
ON BOND ISSUE OF 1909

AMSTERDAM, November 81. via Lon
don, 2:19 p.m.-A dispatch from Con-
stantinople says that 1t has been Off
cially announced there by the minister
Of finance that the interest on the loan
of 1908 will be paid only to such bond
holders as present themselves at the
central office of the ministry of finance
there.
The Constantinople announcement re-
ters to a loan of 15s.000.00O francs
iS31.S00.000). issued at 4 per cent in
90s. Interest is payable semi-annual-
ly, the next payment being due DeceIn-
Der II. The action of the Turkish
finance minister means that interest
payments probably will be suspended
on the bulk of these bonds. which are
held abroad as their owners would
ind it impracticable. or. in view of the
war. almost impossible. to go to Con-
stantinople to make collections.
Of this loan sl0.O00.000 was taken in
London. by J. 5. Morgan d Co., the
London house of J. +. Morgan & Co. of
New York. and by the Imperial Otto
man Bank of London. Most of the re-
,nainder was placed In France, al
though some of these bonds were mar
keted in Germany.

town, plans soon to see Henry Van

1t was suggested here today that the
President might stop over in New York

Mr. Wilson's party heard he expect
ed to go through to Washington and
would not meet the minister until after
his return to the Capital.
The President is known to be keenly

there is no authoritative information
to show that he is contemplating any
steps in that direction in the near

TENNESSEE incident
IS REGARDED CLOSED
Turkish Official in Statement to This
Country Puts Blame on Helms
man Of Launch.

The commander Of the port OF
Smyrna lays all responsibility for the
recent shots fred from Turkish forts
upon a launch from the United States
cruiser Tennessee, while entering tho
harbor, ITO the Indifference of the
helmsman of the launch" who. it is
claimed, did not heed the warning OF
the presence of mines.

supplemental statement on the Ten
nessee incident, based upon a commu-
nication from the Turkish minister of
Constantinople.

from the commander of Smyrna that
two blank shots Of warning were first
fred and that the sentinel. after wait
ing two minutes. was obliged to fire
the third shot in another direction from
that of the launch, which latter shot
was merely to prevent the helmsman
of the launch from holding his course
which would lead directly on to the
mines at the entrance OF the port and
to rescue him from a very certain
danger.
Expresses Great Regret.
THE commander Of Smyrna express
es very great regret that such an obi
cation was presented to the sentinel
OF the port, which he attributes to the
indifference of the helmsman of the
launch"

Special dispatch to Ine St6r.
ROCKVILLE, Nd, November 81
The fifth the of filled mail pouch
from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
station platform here occurred yester-
day morning, when a pouch OF letter
mail and one containing parcel post
matter was stolen. The theft occurred

clares he saw nobody and that no one
was in the vicinity of the remaining
pouches when he reached them.
The morning mail for Rockville is
usually thrown Off the train on the
station platform. Yesterday morning.
however, the pouches were not thrown
off until the train. which does not stop
here, had reached a point about 100
yards beyond the. station.
The messenger, who was waiting the
arrival of the mail. hurried to the
place where the pouches were thrown
off and found that two pouches were
missing. He declares, however, that
he saw nobody near the pouches.
No Clue to Theft.
AS the hour was very early and the
light was extremely poor, the thief
may have seized the pouches and es-
capped without being seen.
The theft was reported to the Post
Office Department and to the offices of
the railroad, and post office inspectors
and railway detectives have been
working on the case. So far, however.
not the slightest clue has been discov-
cred that might lead to the apprehen-
sion of the thief.

has occurred since the early morning
of September l. In none Of these cases
has the slightest clue to the thief been
found.
