| two Norwegian, one French and five
British steamers have been sunk or

of these steamers, the Bclridge and the

with the failure of a submarine to hit

it fired a torpedo, apparently proves
to the satisfaction of British naval

GUESSING AS TO CABINET
Politicians Here Admit Nothing Has
Leaked as to the Intentions of
Governor elect Brumbaugh

On Capitol Hill and in political cir
cles everybody is at sea regarding the
Cabinet appointments to be made by
DR.. Brumbaugh when he takes Office as
Governor ON January 10, although
many guesses are being made.
The names of Dinner Beeber, Phila-
delphia, and Jesse f. B. Cunningham,
Westmoreland,-th latter the present
Deputy Attorney General, are most
frequently heard in connection with
the Attorney Generalship, but there
also comes to the front the name of
present Attorney General, John Bell. In
court yesterday Mr.. Bell, in taking
ibis farewell, remarked that it was
"probable he was before the court
for the last time in his official position.
The fact that he used the word "prob-
able" was taken to mean that pos
sibly Mr.. Bell has had an assurance
that he is to be reappointed.
For Secretary of the Commonwealth
the name heard most is that of the pres
ent Secretary, Robert McAfee, OF AL
legheny, but Mr.. McAfee informed
friends, previous to leaving for home,
that he is in the dark on the subject
and if he is to succeed himself he has
no information to that effect.
Two names stand out most prom
inently for Secretary of Agriculture,
which position will be vacated by Sec
retary Critchfeld, of Professor
H. A. Surface, present State Economic
Zoologist, and Algeron. S. Martin, pres
ent Deputy Secretary of Agriculture.
Mr.. Surface has had large number
of newspaper endorsements, but Mr..
Martin is backed by hundreds of
farmer and agriculturists from all over
the State who have written letters to
DR.. Brumbaugh asking for his appoint
ment.
AS yet DR.. Brumbaugh has preserved
the greatest reticence regarding all Of
his appointments, and it is conjectured
that he alone knows whom he intends
to select. All is mystery.

Why Turkey Entered the War

We must not forget the exceeding
importance Of German willingness to
assist the ambitions OF the educated
Turks for self-government and for in
dependence from European influence.
The English and French control of
Turkey was fortuitous and artificial and
depended solely upo.. the control of
little group of men in Constantipople.
German influence in Turkey has deep
and fundamental roots in large and
significant part of the Turkish popula-
tion and appeals TO their best and high
est impulses. We have here in the
last analysis the reasons why Turkey
has joined Germany in the war. The
enlightened Turka seen in Pan-German-
ism a democratic Turkey with constitu-
tional government, a Turkey de-
veloping its own resources, Turkey
gradually freeing itself form the fetters
of Europeal alliances and becoming
gradually but certainly strong enough
to take its place in the Pan-G -Germanic
chain as state of worth, integrity and
Importance. They see in the victory of
H-bcfMdHlsH Iue euectlNe pTUHiiSe VI
the realization of such ideals. They
see in the defeat of Pan.Germanism po-
litical and national death, the annexa-
tion of Turkey by its enemies and the
subjection of the Turks to the rule of
the infidel. For these reasons they
joined Germany in the first place. For
these deep, fundamental reasons they
hold staunchly to their friend. We
shall be guilty of quibbling and of
shortsightedness if we look for an ex-
planation of Turkish policy in the seiz-'
urc of warships and the breach of treat
ies.-Prof. Roland q. Usher, in the
January World g Work.
