That widespread split in the pres

opinion OF many observers here.
II Is believed to be because of these

done In causing the rejection Of two

In Texas is regarded by politicians
generally as presenting TO the Jeffer.
sonians serious prospect OF defec.

Texas members say the Governor
mas not exaggerated the complaints
against the administration in that
State. They say that for the first
time in the history or the State SOUP
houses have been opened for the des
titute in all the larger cities. One
representative expressed the fear that
there will be bread riots in Texas
within ninety days.
All OF these aspects OF a growing
revolt against the Democratic admin
istration in the South are destined to
be discussed in Congress before the
end of this session.
The argument they will advance in
Congress is that the Wilson admins
tration has succeeded in helping bic
business without improving the con
dition OF little business.

Why Do People Shake Hands
With the Right Hand?

In the days OF very long ago when
all men were prepared TO fight at
any and all times because one could
not know whether another approach
ing was friend or an enemy. all
men went armed. This was before
the day Of guns. when the sword was
the great weapon OF defense.
Upon occasion when one man APP
preached another. each had to decide
whether the other came on a peaceful
mission or not.
People in those days were mostly
right-handed. as they are now. and
when fighting carried their swords In
their right hands.

The note which Great Britain pre-
scented to Turkey on Friday last, de-
mahding an explanation of the &C.
tons OF the Turkish feet in the Black
sea and dismantling of the former
German cruisers, the Goeben and the
Breslau, was really an ultimatum tc
which Turkey was required to make

SO far as known here, telegraphic

Turkish troops which had been on
the Egyptian border for some time,
already are reported to have crossed
the frontier while the 'Surkish feet

and shipping in the Black sea.
Neither Russia nor Great Britain
was unprepared for this move by Tur.
key which, government officials say
was known to have been under the in
fuence of Germany, and the allied
powers have forces on hand ready to
oppose Turkish invasion.
When the regular forces were with.
drawn from Egypt to take part in the
war in Europe. they were immediate

only last week they paraded through
the streets of Cairo, making a splen.

The problem both for England and
Russia, however. is the attitude OF
their Moslem subjects who under or
binary circumstances, would prefer
not to fight against Turkey. In this
war, however. they have rallied tc
their flag, as have all other races un
der British or Russian rule, and care
is being taken to explain to them that
in this case Turkey, under the direc
ton of Germany, has been the ag
gressor.
