Fall of Constantinople
Is Considered Inevitable

With the Dardanelles in the hands
of the Allies. il would be useless for
the forts guarding the Black Sea en-
trance to the Bosporus to hold out, as
they are nineteen miles north of STAN
boul (the BospoFus running nearly
north and SOUTH, and with the Dar-
danelles in hostile hands the fall OF
the city is inevitable. This opinion has
always prevailed in Turkey itself.
The Dardanelles Is the strait
guarding the approach by the sea 70
Constantinople. Once through its
winding passage OF some forty-seyen
miles hostile feet may sail without
hindrance for about eight hours and
then train its guns on the Sublime
Porte. ST. Sophia or the palace OF the
Sultan at Dolma Bagtche, on the lower
Borporus. The fall Of the Dardsnelies
must mean the capture Of the city
that since 1853 has been in the hands
Of the 0ttomans.

This is one of the three propositions
now being considered by the legislative
leaders as the result of Governor Whit

The second contemplates an increase
Of the excise tax. 1t is proposed to
increase the rate for licenses IN the

Washington, Feb. 25.-William G.
McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, or
dered tonight that all ports in the
British Isles be made special ports"
requiring special rates of war risk in
surance from the government bureau.
The only special ports in the United
Kingdom under former orders were
those on the North Sea north OF Lon
don.
The order also extends the special
port zone on the Continent to include
Bordeaux. The previous limit was
Dunkirk. The bureau reserves the right
to refuse insurance to these ports.
The effect of this is that there Will
be no fixed rates for the special ports'
but that the owners OF vessels and
cargoes can make application to the
War Risk Bureau, where all the
hazards will be taken into considera-
tion and a rate fixed for each specified
case. The bureau, if conditions are
not satisfactory, also reserves the
right to refuse any insurance on
either vessel or cargo.
The result of this action is to ter
inmate the usefulnoss of the war
Risk Bureau except as an aid to the
administration in creating an embargo
on expectations. its function as an
insurance bureau for risks in other
quarters than the trade routes cross
ing the war zone can be assumed by
any marine insurance concern. 1t has
practically ended its own usefulness
by prohibitive rates for the north of
Europe, except on such traffic with
Norway and Sweden as proceeds miles
to the northward of the limits of the
German zone of mines.
The effect Of the increased rates, it
is believed here, will be to discourage
further shipment of merchandise of all
character to the nations within the
war areas. It is also believed that if
one or TWO more sHlpS are sIluSh W
mines the War Risk Bureau will there
after refuse to insure against loss or
damage except at prohibtive rates.
Professions of an encouraged" state
of feeling were permitted to filter out
of the State Department to-day, but
there was no general impression OBJ
tainable that aside from the head of

the department any one is hopeful OF
any permanent benefit to American
commerce from the recent reopening
Of the question by the communications
to Berlin and London.
A virtual embargo on the exporta-
tion of foodstuffs to Europe is the sit
uation that threatens the warning ma
tions of both sides should the efforts
of the United States to bring about
modification of Germany's war zone
decree come to naught.
It is understood that the recent COM
munications to Germany and Great
Britain relative to the foodstuf ques-
ton included intimations that the haz-
ards of sea transportation might result
in the virtual stoppsge Of shipments OF
all sorts from the United States to or
through the war areas. This, IL was
pointed out, would result to Germany
in a complete cutting off of the United
States as one of her sources Of supply
and inlict upon Great Britain the en-
tire burden of procuring such food
stuffs as she needed in the United
States, paying for them at the port OF
departure and assuming all the risks
incident to their transportation abroad.
What in the latter instance applies to
Great Britain applies also to France,
except as France may determine TO i'm
port her foodstuffs in neutral bottoms
to Spanish or Portuguese ports.
It is understood I hat he United
States Government has suggested in
formally to Great Britain and Germany
that in the interests of humanity and
the safeguarding of legitimate COM
merce, all mines be removed from the
high seas, except those directly neces-
sary for the protection of coast de-
fences and harbors.

London, Feb. 25.-All the forts at the

The official announcement was made
by the Secretary Of the Admiralty as
follows:
"The weather moderating, the bom-
bardment OF the outer forts Of the
Dardanelles was renewed at a. m. to-
day February 25). After period OF
long range fire the squadron Of battle
ships attacked at close range. All the
forts at the entrance to the strait
were successfully reduced and the
operations are continuing"
A Constantinople dispatch to The
Morning Post" states that the Sultan
has everything packed up ready for
an immediate departure into his Asiatlc
dominions. Troops have been drawn
from Adrianople. Ksdikeny and Prin-
cess islands have been fortified. and
tranches dug by the forts at Carak'
on the European side.
It Is reported on the same authority
that owing to the poor quality Of the
coal obtainsble in Constantinople, the
Goeben now makes only sixteen knots
and the Breslau twenty-five knots. The
two after guns Of the Goeben, II Is
added, are out Of action and the T1dder
is out of gear. The Turks have lost
five transports and two destroyers.

London, Feb. 25--An announcement

Monday is that the government desires
to communicate its announcement with

=, STERILIZATION OF MEN.-Now,

7of some 100000 fellow beings as
form of eugenics. What ingenuity!
+ Our chief justice of Chicago proposes
segregation of the unfit" of those
that have not the mental develop
ment to earn an honest living, but
have to take short cuts through
stealing, highway robbery and occa-
Sional murder.
Why is it that this, the cream of
society, does not advocate reforming
through enlightenment and establish
1hent of the right to everybody to
have work at a living wage? How
has thes bearer of light" behav-
ed on this problem in times gone by?
Why shall one child be born to mil
lions of dollars and another one to
nothing, not even the right to a de-
cent education nor the security of
job when he is grown up? What
does society do to change this funda-
mental injustice? The history of
Rockefeller interests in Colorado,
Bavonne, N. j., and elsewhere; the
killing, manning and starving of
working people, probably that's an
act of sterilization, and, as such, an
act of benefit to humanity?
When the Sangers proposed en-
ightenment upon hygenic and sexual
questions and the limitation of unde-
sirable offsprings they were prose-
cuted and convicted as dangerous
criminals. l am sure that these lat
est geniuses on the subject will go
free, but I'm just as sure that history
will give them the prosecution they
deserve.
