stantinople as early as August !:
IF Turkey remains neutral and
Egypt remains quiet, and should no
unforeseen circumstances arise, His
tMajesty's Government do not pro.
pose to alter the status of Egypt"
And again:
You are authorized to declare to
Turkish Government that if Turkey
will observe scrupulous neutrality
during the war England, France and
Russia will uphold her independence
and integrity against any enemies
that may utilize the general Europe
an complication in order to attack
her.
This would indicate that the Tri.
pie Entente had come to some agree
ment relative to Russia's share in the
spoils should victory perch upon the
banners of the Allies.
But Turkeys entry into the war
has upset all previous adjustments.
The question now is, will Russia con-
sent to allow England to block her
on her southern mission to the Aeg-
can Sea?

country. The official figures are not
yet available to show that vote in de-
tail. If it is true, however, and the
same. proportion should hold good in
the election of 1916, there would be a
difference between the Democratic
and Republican vote OF about 400, 0O0..
In the last election President Will,
son had a plurality of 2,160,194. AS
Stunning, however, that the Republican,
party will organize for the lext cleo
tion as it was not organized in 1912,
for obvious reasons, this margin might
easily ibe wiped out. In fact, it is
entirely possible to be defeated by a.
large plurality of votes, and still to-
win an election if the votes received
are properly distributed. On the
other hand, should any considerable
number. of the remainder of the Pro-
.gressfve party return to the Republi-
can party. in 1916, the chances Of
victory for that party, provided it's
record in the next two years merits
its support, would be proportionately
increased.
This&fact already has been recog-
:nized by the Democratic leaders, and
the next two years will see a stategic
political contest of the greatest pos
sible interest to the entire country

Although it is too early to venture
judgment upon the success or failure
of the regional reserve banks, yet
surface indications are not at all re-
assuring.
In order to meet some of their ex'
penses while business in the discount
ing line is so poor, the federal reserve
district banks have been informed by
the Federal Reserve Board they can
enter the government bond dealing
business at once if they so desire.
If the exigencies warrant, they can
in any event invest their funds in
Understanding securities instead OF
keeping them idle in vaults.
Despite the fact that the regional
banks were not organized primarily
to make money for their stockholders,
it is essential that they at least pay
their own way. There are evidences
that the system is not the well-oiled
stabilizer advance press notices antic'
ipated.
However, final judgment should be
suspended. Under present commercial
conditions there is a contraction
rather than an expansion of credits.

four more States to be heard from, it
Is fair assumption that the Demo-
Gratis would have lost the House en-

Based on the votes for United States
Senator and for Governor in the vari-
GUS States, the effect Of the split in
the Republican party in 1912 was still
noticeable. In Idaho, for instance.
Senator J. H. Brady, Republican, was
reelected by 5000 votes, the Progress
sive candidate polling 10,321. In Ne
vada, Senator Newlands ran 80 votes
ahead Of President Wilson's vote in
1912, the Progressives having no can
Ndidate. His plurality was only SO
votes. 1t is apparent that enough
former i~Progressives voted for him to
bring about his election, although the
noteworthy feature of the Nevada
campaign was the tremendous gains
made by the Socialists.
In Indiana, had the Progressives
voted with the Republicans for Sena-
ftor, senator Shively, Democrat, would
have been defeated by $4,000 votes.
In Kansas, although Murdoch, Pro.
gressive, polled 116, 755, Curtis, Repub-
lican, was elected by approximately
1900 Fnlurality. Likewise, in Wash
ington, although Hansen, Progressive,
polled SS,2S2 votes, Senator Jones,
Republican, had a plurality of nearly
$4,000. In Missouri, had the Progress
ssives voted for the Republican candi-
date for Senator, Senator Stone,
Democracy would have had a plurality
of less than $1,000, instead Of the, 54,-
522 he received. In Utah, Senator
smoot, Republican, received a plural
ity OF only 1000 votes, the Democratic
candidate 'peilg endorsed by the Pro-
Egressives. In Nebraska, Howell. the
Republican candidate for Governor,
was defeated by 10000 plurality, his
opponent also being endorsed by the
Progressives.
100000 Progressive Votes.
1t has been estimated by the Pro-
gressive leaders that the Progressive
party in the recent campaign cast a
total Of i; 100000 votes in the entire

FRANCE DEFIANT.

Premier Viviani intimates that
France will not consent to peace until
Alsace and Lorraine are restored. In
a recent speech before the Chamber
of Deputies he said:
France. acting in accord with her
allies, will not sheathe, her arms until
after taking vengeance for outraged
right; until she has united for all
time to the French fatherla1d the
provinces ravished from her by force;
restored heroic Belgium to the fulness
of her material life and her political
independence, and until Prussian mill
tarism has been crushed, to the end
that it be possible to reconstruct, on a
basis OF justice, a Europe rege1erated.
IF this contest is the most gigantic
yer recorded in history, it is not be-
cause the people are hurting them
selves into warfare to conquer terri
tory, to win enlargement Of material
life and economic and political advan-
tage, but because they are struggling
to determine the fate of the world.
Nothing greater ever has appeared
before the vision of man.
Against barbarity and %despotism;
against the system of provocations
and methodical menaces which Ger
many called peace; against the sys-
tenn of murder and pillage which Ger
many called war; against the ilsolent
hegemony of a military caste which
loosed the scourge, France the eman-
cipator, France the vengeful, at the
side of her allies, arose and advanced
to the fray.
THAT is the stake. 1t is greater
than our lives. Let us continue then
to have but one united soul, and to-
morrow, in the peace of victory, we
shall recall with pride these days OF
tragedy, for they will have made Of us
more valorous and better men,

GERMANY's MOTIVE IN TURKEY.

Events leading to the rupture Of re.
lations between Turkey and England
just published in the form of diplo-
matte papers by the authority of the
English government, set forth very
clearly the British suspicious rela-
tive to the operations of the Germans
in the Balkans and especially in Tur-
key. Sir l.. Mallet's dispatch to- Sir
Edward Grey, dated as early as Au-
gust 80, is quite significant:
"tEventuality Of a general war is
doubtless counted on by Germany
with the object of diverting energies
Of Russia from the mail object OF
European conflict. Germans may
even argue that, in event of Russians
receiving serious check in Germany,
they might be induced to desist from
struggle by bait of Constantinople."
The fear that Germany through Of
sfers of assistance to Russia in her
Balkan dream might win this power
from the Triple Entente is even to-
day the bette noir Of the British.
Sir Mallet, the British minister to
the Porte, clearly states that Ger
many is counting upon this eventual.
ity. Continuing, he says:
There is no doubt that it is the
objct of Germany to involve Russia
and Great Britain in serious troubles
here in the hope of a general Balkan
conf1agration and of complications
for us in India and Egypt
German efforts doubtless are being
directed toward divertilg Russia from
the European conflict by feeding her
ambition of ages, which, of course, is
the absorption of the Balkan states
and particularly the B%osphorus.
With Russia on her back, Germany
cannot hope to make great progress
in the western war zone. 1t is Won
sderful that the Kaiser's troops have
so firmly entrelched themselves in
Belgium and France with the odds
SO heavy against them on the eastern
frontier.
Russia apparently is in the war to
defend her ally, Servia, and prevent
the aggression of her hated rival,
Austria. England justifies her entry
into the conflict as a defender of Bel
GUMS neutrality, and poor France is
sacrificing the flower of her youth in
q strictly defensive ,wer.
AS England wishes to cripple the
expansion of Germany, both t%erritori-
ally and commercially, so Russia de-
sires to prevent Austria from annex
ing any more Balkan territory.
The interesting phase of the dip
Nmatic game is, will Germany and
Russia v e find a common ground
upon which to trade? Will there be
. change in the present alignment of
nations before peace is colsummat-
ed?
This is most interesting specula-
ton, but It's probability has some
foundation in the British fear that
Russia, restless for the spoils, might
dicker with Germany.
There are no evidences in the dip
lomatic papers that England had any
idea Of disturbing the integrity of
Turkey. Sir Edward Grey, British
foreign minister, wrote to the repre-.
sentative Of his government at Con
