Bey, the Turkish ambassador has left
Washington for New York and today
IS on his way to Turkey. In a state
ment before leaving, the ambassador
said he was quitting the United States
on leave of absence at his own initia-
tive. He explained that this step,
which he had undertaken without con-
Ierrlng With his government with
which he had not been in communica-
ton was the result of the attitude of
the United States toward statement he
had made comparing 1ynchings in the
United States and the water cure" in
the Philippines to massacres in Tur-

when government officials indicat-
ed that an expression of a modifica-
ton of the ambassadors views would
be welcomed by the United States.

Veterans at Front Are Kaiser's
Main Reliance.


Venice Oct. Safest reports from
Vienna show that the population is
seriously alarmed over the possibility of
a Russian invasion.
Official notices in all the papers have
announced the closing of many favOrfte
Sunday excursions from Vienna into
the surrounding forest because the
highest points are fortified. This has
produced much uneasiness.
The report is being circulated that the
work of transferring state treasures
and archives has already begun. While
this report appears to be unfounded, it
is significant as showing the state of
the public mind.
Food Prices Advance.
Prices for many articles of food
have taken a sudden jump, especially
in the case of vegetables which are
selling at double and treble the Ordin-
airy rates. The Austrian premier.
Count Karl Stuergkh, received a depu-
tation of influential representatives
of Austrian industry Friday. The del
egation urged that immediate meas
ures be taken by the state to prevent
further unjustifiable advance in the
prices of breadstuffs as the high rates
already are causing much hardship
among the poorer classes.
1t was declared that farmers, espec-
tally in Hungary. were Withholding
supplies in order to obtain still high
er prices. The premier promised that
the government would do its utmost
to prevent such exploitation of the

DOWN AND OUT POLITICIANS

From the Houston Post.
 There have been some very pathetic sights in Washington due to the expul- sion from public life in some political up- heaval, of old men who were cut adrift without means of a. Livelihood because they spent their lives in a meagrely-paid public service. Quite a number of these old r.en are fortunate enough to obtain other appointments, but many are com pelled to live a precarious existence, for the reason that there are not positions enough to go round. When men like Sen ator Murphy Foster or Senator Cockrell, who at the age of 80 years is still toiling away in a minor office, are favored. and can do the work, nobody has any right to complain. The public service does not suffer and surely such recognition of long years of effort for the public good at small pay is not to be criticized. One thing is pretty certain. When men who have served in high station have passed lfe's meridian and are forced by the vicissitudes of politics to resume long neglected professions, they do not seek these minor offices out of lust for place, hut usually because of necessity. And in that light, when fortune smiles upon them, the rest Of us can afford to be glad of the lift they get.
