Gen. Carranza always believed
that the English diplomat was
largely responsible for TTuerta's
dogged resistance to diplomatic
pressure and told friends that when
the Constitutionalists reached Mex

to catch the Teutonic.
Many physicians who attended the

having cut short their Continental trip
because of the war.

IRON Tho Tribune correspondent

tFrom The Tribune Correspondent
London, July 30.-Despite their
fears that all British courts are the
most melancholy and unspectacular
places imaginable, many Americans
have "taken in" the courts in London
in recent months. IL has long been
practice of American jurlsts to do
so, but heretofore the ordinary Wis
itor has fought shy of this form of
diversion. Now, however, the sight
seers brave enough to include the
courts are loud in their exclamations
about the human interest element in
the magistrates courts in particular.
and of the general practice of num-
ber of judges to miss no legitimate
opportunity to interject facetious re-
marks. Then there are the frequent
turmoils created by suffragettes, hu-
morous to spectators, but often most
ineonvenient for the judges, certain
of whom have become artful dodgers
in true sense of the word, as, for
instance, when shoes and other mis-
siles are SHE'D at them by the wild
women. AS has sometimes been the
case in New York, unusual occur
rences are looked for in some Of the
courts in London.
Only recently one Of the most ia
nous metropolitan police magistrates
resigned because of i'll health. He
is Alfred Chichele Plowden, consid-
cred the most vivid magistrate who
has sat in a London police court for
many a long year. Mr.. Plowden is
the only one who has achieved the
distinction of having day in his
court described by Partisan newspa-
pers.
Everybody in London knows his
name. Nearly everybody in London can
recall some story about him. For n
quarter century "Plowdenisms" have
given color to the newspaper reports of
police cases, not only because of their
wit, but also because of their human
kindliness. He knows men and women
and he knows policemen. They have
all had reason, at times, both to love
him and to fear him.
He is a Solomon in matrimonial dis
putcs, and believes in patching up diff
ferences. For the system of judicial
separations he has little regard. How
long have you been married." he has
been known to ask an applicant. 1.-TWO
years? Why, you are still in your
honeymoon. Go back and try again!"

CERMANY'S CROWN
PRINCE CRITICISED
His Recent IndiScretiOnS
Subject of Much News
paper Comment.

Berlin, July 2S.-The recent indiscre-
tions of the Crown Prince, already
briefly reported by cable, became the
subject of uneasy comment from a
great majority of the newspapers Of
all shades of political opinion. Only
certain resctionary and chauvinistic
papers have approved mildly or kept
silent.
Some Of the structures on the future
Emperor were decidedly sharp, the
"Vorwarts," for instance, saying: I'VE
are all acquainted with the political
tastes of the Crown Prince, and we do
not care to waste discussion over them
any more than over his asthetic tastes,
which are about on the same level"
Two kilograms sent by the Crown

criticism { aim. One, to a retired
lieutenant colonel named Frobenius,
read: 81 have read your splendid
pamphlet, The German Empires Hour
of Fate with the greatest interest,
and wish for it the widest circulation

fessor Gustav Buchholtz he wired:
"Have Just read your pamphlet, BIS
marck and Ourselves and ind IT very

"The German Empires Hour of Fate"
was an slarmist publication predicting
a great war in 1915. Among other
things on which the author based hls
prediction is Frances change from
two to three-year military service
The land, Frobenius said, could not
stand this sacrifice for any length oil
time, and il followed that the action
could be nothing but a preparation Tor
wreaking the vengeance whlch france
had longed for since the defeat of 1871.

TURKS FORGETTING
PRECEPTS OF ISLAM
Younger Generation Com
ing Into Power Under
Bad Influences.
LFrom The Tribune CorrespOndent.l

Constantinople, July 25.-In view of
the new situation in Turkey IN regard
to it's foreign relations, European OBJ
servers are greatly interested in the
study of the governing classes in Tur-
key and the strong nationalist spirit
that is developing among the educated
people of the country.
It is felt that the tranquility OF the
Near East depends in great measure
upon this "new nationalism." The
peasant class in Turkey has always
had practically nothing to do with the
government, the peasants being lgno-
rant, uncomplaining taxpayers IN time
Of peace and equally ignorant and un-
complaining food for powder in time
of war.
Recent experience has shown, how
ever, that when the sons OF prosperous
farmers attain little education and
the positions under the government TO
which they often aspire the primitive
riches of their fathers are lost amid
the new surroundings, and they are
yerv likely to become uncertain and
more or less undesirable citizens.
The moral teaching of Islam concern
ing abstinence from gambling, drunk
enness and immortality has been largely
corrupted among the true Turks OF the
Younger generation, who form large
part of the free thinking population OF
Constantinople. This corruption is due
chiefly to the composition OF what is
at present the governing class in Tur-
key. which may perhaps be best de-
scribed as the h-Mahometan
mixture, forming bureaucratic ana
military caste. -.
Since the revolution of 1908 the ulti-
mate control of Turkish affairs has
lain in the hands of this party, which
is chiefly of Jewish inspiration and
has displayed the inclination to treat
the great majority of the people OF the
country as merely pawns in political
game. a.
In the places where the minor offl-
GERS have remained Turkish and unat-
fected by the Levantine influences they
have also remained, in the main, hon
est and Woodworking, while the idle
are often so only because they have
not been taught how to work. But
where the Levantine influence has been
strong. as it has been among the young
men who have come TO Constantlnople
in the last six years seeking an outlet
TOR their ambition, the Turks have ex-
hibited all the evil effects Of freethink-
ing upon a suddenly emancipated race
that history hes shown in past revolu-
tions of the same kind.
The influence of the capital is ener,,
waiting and not sufficiently counteracted
by a true education, and the new men
OF the new era in Turkey display
high degree of instability in ideas, both
political and social, and the inability
10 see more than one side Of the ques-
tion which naturally follows from
superficial learning. 49,, =,
Russia has become more a political
than a moral force among the men OF
the younger generation, though 1t is
still a powerful influence among the
masses Of the population.
