VIII Turkey Back OutY

NV HETHER Turkey will be able to get her
w self out OF the trouble into which her
militant and pro-German factions have in
volved her appears doubtful, Apparently
there conflicting views in the Turkish
Cabinet. conflicting ambitions and jealousies
perhaps, so that the decision OF the whole
question, SO pregnant with possibility, may
turn on some triviality of intrigue or fnfu-
ence at the Ottoman court.
Just now the demands of the allies, made
through Great Britain, are SO sweeping and
SO imperative 1t appears unlikely that Turkey
will accede to them. TO do SO would involve,
not only complete change Of policy, but the
acceptance Of humilating terms. The most
conspicuous and important demand is that the
German officers and men in the Turkish army
the two German cruisers Turkey has taken
into her service be disarmed and interhed
until the end of the war.
If Turkey finds it possible to stomach
these terms, she will prove quite conclusively
that the bombardment Of Russian ports was
not inspired by ultimate authority
Should the situation change and Turkeys
amende be accepted, Germany and Austria
undoubtedly will be gravely disappointed.
Dispatches from Petrograd indicate that Rus
STA will be disappointed as we'll. but these
pay be taken with grain of salt. The de-
feat of the German and Austrian armies does
not appear to be a task of small difficulty, and
the outsider can see no reason for allied
qualification that it should be further conf
plcated by Turkeys entry into the lists.

AT War with All Armed Forces.

The United States Is at war with Mexico. We
may as well forget at the tea and toast fiction
that our only foeman is one Gen. Fictoriano Huerta
usurper and dictator. We have seized customs
house and city in the area controlled by Huerta spill
ing the blood of few Americans and many Mexcans
Huertas forces threaten to rally in numbers and at
tempt tie recapture of Vera Cruz. We cannot and
will not retreat; must resist to the limit of life
and lead and steel.
Carranza, self-styled constitutionalist fgurehead
and frontispiece for Villa bandit cutthroa and
derer-the pair of them erstwhile foes of Huerta-
threatens to make war on us because we landed our
marines at Vera Cruz to bring the backguard Huerta
to terms without consulting him So we must forget
our past endeavors in behalf of Carranza and Villa
and fight them inland fighting Huerta, on
the coast line.
The Quixotic, bumptious, bombastic Carranza has
crafty advisers. Their work was the note to our
Secretary of State interpreting occupation of Vera
Cruz act of war merely because did not seek
redress for Huertas insults through appeal to Car
ranza the constitutonast, who is yet far from
Mexico City, the capital and Huerta's stronghold.
The palpable fact that the note a cunnngly de-
vsed invitation TO this government to recognize the
"consttutonaists" as belgerents makes it the more
insulting.
The American people will rejoice in their Pres-
dents swift response He has stopped all shipments
OF arms to Mexico and proclaimed to the world, in
effect that the United States is with Huerta
and "all who shall come to his support" Carranza
and Villa may make their choice, and if their choice
is war there will be no lament. Rather it will solve
a problem If Americans must march to Mexico City
they will be saved the disgrace of marching side by
side with the savages under the Villa -Carranza ban
who have made carnival of blood and torch along
our borders.
The Huerta government is the only power in Mex

left its capital; its ENJOYS have left Washington

Why Have Prisons?

With the escape from Sing Sing of Michael Ca
pazzuto two things strongly indicated, (I) the
idiotic coddling of criminals and (2), the de-
ceptive wording of our laws.
Capazzuto was murderer, sentenced from New
York in 1895, his term being from twenty years to
life. He only had about year to serve TO life
being only phrase to fool the public
Being murderer, probably, and also because he
had been in Matteawan and supposed to be feeble
minded, he was made trusty.
Capazzuto did not have to break jail He simply
walked away attracting no attention because in the
interest of upft stripes have been abolished in Sing
Sing as hurtful to the feelings of prisoners.
The individual or system responsible for this in
sane murderer being at large should be unearhed and
the individual disciplined or the system changed

A Nation Disgraced.

At this distance, with few circumstantial details
known of the battle between coal mine strikers and
militia at Trinidad, Colo. judgment to the guilt
or innocence of any who took part cannot be pro-
nounced. Women and children were killed, but it is
not even known who killed them. Only one thing is
clear, and that is that the savage conflict dis
grace to civilized country. Somebody was respon-
sible for the shedding of blood of women and chill
dren not alone the men who fired the shots threw
the bombs but others who permitted conditions to
exist that led to such bloody climax.
While we must await complete information as to
the causes that led to the hdeous crime which makes
Americans blush for their history it is not too early
to demand that the responsibility be fixed. Inquiry
should be rigid, searching. unsparing. Some should
suffer the penalty for murder in the first degree on
others should be inflicted the limit of punishment for
accomplices. Whether the law strikes high or low it
should strike.

sands of dollars for printing and carrying free in the

The only objection to the bill seems to be that it
does not go far enough. 1t ought to deal with the
