Turkey, Italy and England.

| Complications are certain to result
from Turkeys entrance into the war
| field, the precise end of which cannot
now be foreseen. The natural expecta-
| ton has been from the outset that any
hostile act by Turkey against one of
the members of the triple entente
would involve italy on the side of that
combination of powers. but it has been
suggested that the activity of Greece
in Albania may seriously lessen Italy's
friendliness toward England, Russia
and France. inasmuch as Italy feels di-
rectly concerned in the handling of
the Albanian situation. 1t is hardly
to be believed, however, that so impor-
tant a possibility has been overlooked
by the entente powers and that Greece
will be permitted to play a. free lance
part in the war in a way to drive Italy,
against her natural inclinations and
| her domestic political necessities, into
the Austro-German alignment.
| Indeed, it can hardly be conceived
that Italy, by any combination of cir
cumstances, could at this stage be
| made to enter the war as factor for
| Austro-German success. 1t has been
frequently declared since the war be-
gan that Italy's neutrality was dictated
in large measure by the fear of revolu-
| ton following any token of friendli-
ness for her former fellow members of
the triple alliance, and in all likeli-
hood the Albanian question will be adj
| justed to Italy's satisfaction, SO that
II she should enter the war field she
can do so without arousing domestic
hostility to the governmental policy.
Already 1t is indicated that the Turk
ish program contemplates activity
against the English authority in Egypt.
Russia, it is stated, will for the pres
ent conduct merely a defensive cam
paign against Turkey. and this in the
first stages of Turkeys participation
will probably throw the heavier bur-
den upon England. Should the native
Egyptian army prove disloyal to Eng
lish authority, Egypt may become a
serious problem for the government at
London. It may in that event be nee
! essary to send English troops to Egypt.
thus weakening the British representa-
ton in the European field. This has
obviously been contemplated by the
Teutonic allies as one of the advan-
tages of bringing Turkey into the war
against their enemies. Whether it will
prove Of material value as affecting
the major campaign on the continent
remains to be seen.

The Christmas Ship.

The success of the Christmas ship
suggestion here in Washington has
been beyond expectations, and it is
most gratifying to be assured that the
local contribution to the nations cargo
Of mercy and comfort for the war or
phans of Europe and their mothers will
be in proportion to the city's impor-
lance as the National Capital. The
present estimate is that the goods
given directly by the children and
grown-ups of the District and bought
with their cash contributions will fill
at least two freight cars. The children
of the city have shown the way in this
| matter, having taken hold of the idea
early with eagerness and demonstrated
by their enterprise that they appreci-
ated the opportunity to do something
on their own account for the suffering
children of the war zone. Thus in
spired. the adults have followed the
example set and have during the last
few days been cooperating. with the
| result OF an inflow Of goods and cash
at a rate to tax the receiving agencies
Up to noon today the money given di-
! rectly amounted to ss60.51. At the rate
at which the funds have come during
| the past week it will not be surprising
| to find the total reaching $500 when
the lists are closed on Tuesday. All of
this money will be spent in the pur-
| chase of substantial clothing for boys
and girls. having been received in lieu
of contributions of goods. The mate
| rails thus purchased will make alone a
large consignment to add to the ma
tons cargo. The Star IL particularly
pleased that this splendid success has
been achieved through the enterprise
of the children, to whom all thanks
are due for their assistance and In
spirtng interest.

Halloween.

This Halloween I'll venture out
Beneath the shivering, signing trees
And hear the owls despairing shout
Where branches shudder in the breeze.
Oh. come with me, Respondent friend,
In quest of goblin, elf or sprite.
Where pallid moonbeams family lend
The world a supernatural light.
Full well each mortal knows who
walks,
Where strength grows weak and
courage faints,
No specter that in nature stalks
Can equal those that Fancy paints.
For have we not, both you and l.
Been long pursued by specters grim:
Have we not heard some long. weird
cry
From shadows in the distance dim?
Have we not dwelt In doubt and fear
OF perils strange and underlined.
With new ones ever drawing near,
Replacing those we've left behindf
All. We have faced the direst host
OF wraithe that Terror can command,
And should we find q Real Ghost
Well smile and shake him by the
hand.

to democracy the responsibility VIII rest

In a telegram from the same city, re-
cesved the next day. this statement was
made:
IF, after what England haA done for
Egypt in this crisis and what the United
States at different times has due for
other sections in like emergencies, no re-

Now. protection is a national question.
This leading industry of Louisiana has
no more claims to consideration at q
time of tariff revision than have the
leading industries Of other states Why
should other states be called on to pro-
tect Louisiana when she refuses an ap-
peal to help protect them?
Protection has done much for the
south She has become very influential
and prosperous as the result of that
policy nationally applied. Her manufac-
turing interests-now very large-have
been built up by it, and the cane sugar
people owe all they have to it. But at
the polls the south for thirty-odd years
has voted against the party of protec-
ton and will probably continue SO to
do to the end of the chapter.
