London, Nov. A.. The Turkish au-
thorities, according TO a Reuter- dis
patch from Constanrnople, via Sofia,
have begun to seize the shipping lying
off Constantinople. The Porte also
has ordered the extinction Of the
lighthouses in the Mediterranean lit
toral.
A Reuter- dispatch from CONSTANT
nople. via Berlin, asserts that the min
listers of Public Works, Marine and
Commerce have resigned. Djavid Bey,
Minister of Finance, also resigned.
Talaat Bey, Minister of the Interior,
succeeds him temporarily.
The Turkish Cabinet resigna-
tons noted above are undoubtedly
due to dissensions which have
arisen regarding the Black Sea raid
of the Turkish feet, which precipi-
tated Turkeys entrance into the
European war. Osman Miami
Pacha held the portfolio of Minis
ter of Public Works, Suleiman el
Bustani that Of Minister of Com
merce, while Tschurukusla Nah
mud was the Minister of Marine.

The Superintendent Of public school svs-

Doctor Brumbaugh has been administering
a trust more delicate and more difficult than

AS Superintendent Of that vast and COM

distinguished success. No other man in the

him to the high office the voters re taking
no risk Every power and quality that he
has displayed so conspicuously in the past

Dimmick's Code of Honor

DERSONAL and political honor unite in
/ debating the present position of J. Benja-
min Dimmick. Having entered the primaries
against Boies Penrose under a pledge to
abide by the verdict of the polls, Dimmick
cannot re-enter the senatorial fight. How
ever keenly he may feel that Penrose Is a
moral issue, he must abide by his engage
ment.
Whether it was wise TO have made such
a promise does not enter into the discussion.
We need men In public life whose word is as
inviolable in politics in commerce. To
break confidence with the people Is more
than a fault; II Is a crime and weakens the
foundation upon which republican instltu-
tions rest.
Dmmick's stipulation does not bind the
rank and file of the voters. Many Of them
did not realize the gravity Of the conflict last
spring. They are not under any obligation TO
support a candidate who outraSes their
moral sense. Every Republican in Pennsyl-
vanin, except Mr. Dimmck, IS free to work
for Mitchell Palmer. Every Republican in
Pennsylvania who has a genuine regard for
