Turkey in the Shadow of Ruin.

There may be some exaggeration in the reports
from Sofia that the Turkish government is in a
state of panic and is preparing TO quit CONSTANT
nope. There can be little doubt, however, that
Turkey has failed signally at the military tasks
forced on her by her German and Austro-IIun-
garian allies The Turkish army, demoralized by
the defeats Of the Balkan war and the incompe-
tency of the Young Turk administration, in
no condition to live up TO the demands of Teutonic
strategy. The great disaster in the Caucasus was
the natural result Of sending sick man to do a
well mans work.
What Germany and Austria-H Hungary expected
Turkey 20 do was set forth in detail by various
military writer's in the German press. Russian
pressure in Poland and Gaicia TO be relieved

British activities in France ard Belgium were

those two diversions had worked out TO the benefit
of Germany and Austria Hungary, the Turks,
assuming that they retained control of the Black
Sea. were TO land an army in Southwestern Rus
STA and threaten the of the Russian forces
in Bukowina and Galicia. thus compelling gen.
eral Russian retreat on the eastern front.
The invasion of the Caucasus was undertaken
without sufficient preparation and the Turkish
army of the east has now been practically de-
stroyed The invasion Of Egypt has Jagged the

IMPORTANT If TRUE
Has Anybody Seen a $751; Bath
room?

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: According 10 the budget. pro-
vision was made for a luxurious bath
room in the new Municipal Building so
that Controller Prendergast could take
bath before, or probably after, he
had anything to do with the bankers.
The remarkable feature about this
bathroom is that il is to be duplicate
of the one owned by the late Pierpont
Morgan and is to cost $4,000.
Now, then, this sum of money at 5
per cent would give an income of
$3.50. which is larger sum than the
majority of families in New York City
have 10 live on. Aside from the $685.
600, one must calculate upon the up
keep OF such a luxurious bathroom, so
il is fair 10 say that it will cost the
City Of New York al least 81 500 a year
to keep our Controller clean, go that

WHAT SOCIALISM WOULD DO
A Believer Explains How 1t Would
End Unemployment.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the face OF an appalling
amount of popular ignorance with re-
gard to the nature of our unemploy-
ment problem, the doctrine of social
ism stands forth as the one source OF
enlightenment. Socialists are not dis
mayed by the feeble and futile efforts
Of the constituted authorities to find
remedy for the evil, but dig down to
fundamentals and find 1t to be rooted
in the existing system Of production.
Under this system the workingman
receives as his reward not the full
product of his labor, but the portion
that remains after provision has been
made for the demands of rent, inter
est and profit. These items constitute
constantly increasing surplus of cap
ital, which, in the nature OF things,
becomes concentrated in the hands of
comparative few. The masses are
thus deprived of the means of pur-
chasing any but the barest necessities,
a glut in the market results. and men
seek in vain for a chance 20 work.
The remedy proposed by socialism rs
very simple, and consists in produc-
ing for use instead of for profits. A
socialistic state would abolish the pre-
vailing industrial and economic sys-
tens, founded on chaotic and destruc-
tive competition, and would reorgan-
ize society along the lines OF CON
structive cooperation. It would enable
every able-bodied citizen to perform
his duty as a social factor by proyld-
ing him with steady, useful work. I'm
der such a system the world would en-
ter upon a period of unparalleled
prosperity, the chief cause for war
would be removed and human broth
erhood" would be changed from wall
motto 10 an accomplished fact.

FROM THE MAYOR OF CAMBRIDGE

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A number of American papers
have been sent 10 me containing let
tiers signed by "Lucius II. Vane" and
dated Cambridge, November 6 Cor lO),
1914" The letters consist of an at
tack upon Great Britain for taking
part in the war and all extremely i'll

of England toward the Germans.
have made exhaustive inquiries,
but. as | anticipated, have been un-
able to discover the name of Lucius
II. Vane in either university or town
records past or present.
The letters are obviously part OF the
pro-German propaganda upon which
the Germans are spending such large
amount of energy and money for the
bolstering up of their case In neutral
countries, particularly in the United
States.
May | express the hope that the
American papers, 10 whom copies OF
this statement will be sent, will give
"Lucius H. Vane" the opportunity Of
proving his identity.

EDITOR
THE ISSUE.

The "authOrizcd statement" adopted by the
test of one of it, members has an air of plau>i-
biIity but it does not deal directly with the
issue at all. The issue was whether all the re
spOnSibiIity for the unsatisfactory condition
Of affairs in the committees office was to be
showed upon Secretary Wood-whether he was
to be kicked out without hearing.
The Star Bulletin believed common fairness
to Mr. Wood demanded that the community
know what was going on. And it will be no
tccd that as soon as this demand was voiced,
two-column- and-a-half statement was made
ostenSibly for the committee. TO that extent
the community has been able to learn some
thing.
The Star Bulletin is also informed that Mr.
Wood will now be given Il full opportunity to
4rhswrr the accusations made against him. Such
an opportunity should never have been matter
Of doubt.
y long and involved attempt is made in the
statement presented by Mr.. l.. y. Thurston
yesterday to prove that this paper violated the
confidence of the Promotion Committee in pub
fishing the news of what was going on. This
is not the ease. Prior to the publication of the
first news article no request had been made of
the Sta, bulletin that the matter be kept secret.
The news came to this paper from a source out
side the Promotion Committee and after veri-
flying it, the Star Bulletin printed the news.
Before the publication Of the second news arti-
Gle, the Star-Buletin talked with two members
of the Promotion Committee, one Of them the
chairman Both agreed that the substance of
the committees action the afternoon previous
was proper matter for publication. 1t was
thereupOn published.
The Advertiser this morning says that the
statement of the committee yesterday twas
adopted for publication. 1t does not say that
one of the members, Ed Towse, refused to vote
for the statement-protested against it-nor
that Chairman Berndt did not vote for it.
The Star Bulletin does not minimize the work
of the Promotion Committee. This paper has
stood by it.
But we believe the work of the committee
can be successful only if It has the support of
the community, and to havest support of the
there must be absolutely fair play,
open methods and nothing like a "rule-or ruin
policy.

JIM HALEY IS

The selection Of Jimmy Haley to
be collector of the port of Honolulu
cannot fail to recall to- Nevadans the
good old days when the sagebrush
state had a mortgage, or thought it
had, on the legation at the court Of
David Kalakaua,' says the Reno. Ne
vada, Gazette. The selection of Mr..
Haley is good one and he is sure to
get the port Of Honolulu into the lime
light He will be no drone.
''The Hawaiian monarchy is no
more, else the former Nevadan could
be relied on to entertain royalty just
as cordially as Rollin NJ. Daggett did
when he was United States minister
near the court of His Majesty kala-
kaua, Ring OF the Sandwich islands >"
Rollin NJ. Daggett had worn out sew
eral good pens writing editorials on
the Comstock,- and, incidentally, had
learned how to play poker. HetauSht
the king on arriving at Honolulu and
gave useful instructions to all the
other diplomats, with the result that
he soon had the money and they had
the experience. Mr.. Haley does not
play poker, but he is an expert at solo,
an entertaining game with which he
and his friends whiled away leisure
moments during the big boom.

MEASURING UP TO RESPONSIBILITY.

The Associated Charities of this city has pub
lished it's need for the year 1915 at about
ST., 800. The work of this organization in the
community has become recognized as one worth
while. 1t is one of increasing value through
its clearing house" character. Not only does
it save duplication through it's conf dental ex-
change with fifteen other societies of Honolulu,
but it saves when personal appeals to individ-
uals are referred to it's central bureau for need
ed attention. The machinery for investigation
is now in good working order. To increase it's
value and efficiency is the constant study, and
requires liberal financial support of the whole
community. Committees are being appointed
and are at work. Subscriptions are needed It
is hoped that there will be not only renewals,
but increased amounts as well as new subscrip-
tions to meet the growing necessities. Also
it is hoped that not only old memberships will
continue, but that many new memberships may
be added Greater numbers means more wide
spread interest. The support of this work is a
matter in which the entire city may we'll take
up with hearty good will and therefore ''meas-
ure up to our responsibility"

Problem of Employing Pris-
oners Greatest Before the
State Board of Control.
ARE ALL FILLED

In the belief that the most difficult
problem presented to the state board
of control is the proper employment
of prison labor, the legislative inyesti-
eating committee in a report to the
governor and the legislature today rec
commended that the governor be en-
powered to appoint committee Of
three to five men to investigate the
question of prison labor and industries
1t suggests that the committee be COM
posed of a representative of those who
have made a study of the criminals,
manufacturing representative and
labor representative. This report should
be made to the governor not later
than Dec. l, 1916. The report points
out that the population at both the
prison and the reformatory is in
creasing and that the problem now
involves the reformation of nearly 1900
men and boys.
Favor Special Report
Along the same line the committee
suggests that no legislative committee
can adequately examine these state
institutions in the short time allow
ed and the recommendation is made
that special committee be appointed
by the governor commissioned to in
vestigate these institutions and also
report on or about Dec. /, 1916. Incl
dentally the report declares that the
recommendations of the board of IN
derWriters as to the safety Of the S. ate
buildings are deemed "pncalled foro
by the superintendent of the institu-
tions and they are referred to the
board Of control for further investiga-
ton
The board recommends an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for additional labor
atory equipment at the Mendoza hos
pital for the insane; it is opposed to
an expenditure of 100000 for a psy-
chopathic hospital at the Northern
hospital, urges the immediate installa
ton of the new ventilating system and
other minor improvements. While at
this hospital the committee attended a
moving picture show furnished by the
university extension course, which it
declares was VIRTUALLY an advertise
ment of a shoe company We desire
to register a protest against such adj
vertising entertainments.
