Problems in Mexico.

At present, all signs seem to indi-
cate that the United States will be
obliged to try armed Intervention in
Mexico within a comparatively short
time. If the necessity occurs. the
nation will not shrink-but neither
will it rejoice. When once our troops
cross the Rio Grande, no man knows
when they will come back. Unless we
can establish a competent native gov.
eminent in Mexica-a very doubtful
contingency-we shall be saddled for
generations with the managing of a
country three times the size of tie
German empire and inhabited by 15.-
100000 people alien to us in blood,
speech and tradition.
The American nation will not con-
denim President Wilson for doing all
that he honorably may to avoid such
a burden.

Turkey Reports Execution OF II
Plotters a Beirut.
THE SULTAN BLAMEs BRITAIN
Embassy Declares Secret Society
Planned Dismemberment OF Turkey
and Formation OF New State
Under Great Britain.

Washington at Beirut OF
IL members of an Egyptian secret so
ciety, which, it is claimed, had Tor us
object the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Turkey
and the creation of an Independent
Arabian state under the protectorate
of Great Britain, was announced mere
by the Turkish Embassy. The men,
bers of the society, the embassy al
leges, planned to assassinate high OIL
cials and many other prominent
people.
The text of the announcement fol-
lows:
1.-THE Ottoman government having
been informed of the existence in
Egypt, with branches in Syria and
Irsk, Of a secret society whose aim
is the creating of an independent
Arabian state under Great Britain $
protectorate, ordered a most thorough
inquiry be made. The purpose of this
was to discover who were the pro-
moters of this society, the object of
which under the instigation of hos
tile power, was the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
Turkey, Notwithstanding the strong
ties which bind all Arabs to the mother
country.
This inquiry, conducted with the
utmost care and earnest desire of find
ing out the truth, brought out the most
undeniable proof Of the existence OF
this society. The aim of the conspiracy
was to create disturbances in the
country by committing criminal acts,
such as the assassination of high dig
nitaries, as well as great number of
prominent people, and thus attain its
unlawful ends.
1.-The unearthing of important doeu-
ments having been the means OF dis
covering the promoters of the con-
spiracy, several arrests took place and
the matter was brought before the
court-martial in Beirut. This case was
tried with all due precaution. The
culpability of the accused having been
established, some Of the traitors, most
of whom by default, were sentenced to
death in virtue of article 81 of the
Ottoman Criminal Code.
"Out of the 10 culprits sentenced.
and who were actually arrested, IL
were executed in Beirut and two were
pardoned by the Sultan on account of
their age.
1.-The government has already pub
lished in Syria part of the compro-
missing documents in its possession
and it intends shortly to publish in
their entirety the Photographic repro
duction of tie whole discovered CORE
spondence."

Law Has Made for Prosperity.

Ex-President taft told members OF
the Hamilton club at Chicago that the
Republicans would come back to pow
er next year. He paid his respects to
the Democratic administration by say
ing that President Wilson should in
no way receive credit for the present
indications of prosI erity.-New York
Sun.
We were never much impressed by
the theory that the national admins
trations made or dnmade prosperity.
But in one respect the Wilson admin
istration has claims that are unique.
The present prosperity of the United
States is due in very large measure
to the new banking and currency law,
which made it possible for the first
time in our history to mobilize all
the financial resources of the nation
to meet great crisis.

NO STRAIGHT ISSUE
ANALYSIS of the Elections in
Massachusetts.
Republican Claims That u Was a
Hioh-Tariff Victory Are Idle IN
View of the Condition
That Prevailed.

himself repeatedly swearing to ootn
sides of a contradiction. In Massa-
chusetts the annual elections require
an abnormal brevity OF recollection.
The Republicans are pointing to NC
Calls vote of 235.91S, with its marked
increase over the 19S.600 votes he re-
ceiyed, in 1914, as evidence OF the
sweeping nature of the Republican tri-
umph. But they forget entirely to
look at the figures of Governor Waisn
increase. In 1913 he received over
$4,000 votes: in 1914, over 2lV'VVV'
and this year, though defeated, he
polled over 229,000. An extraordi-
narily large vote was brought out on
all sides this year in Massachusetts,
and into the result it is easy TO READ
too much by simply looking at one
side. AS it is, it could be contended
with force that the Democrats re-
ceived a share of the returned Pro-
gressive vote. Similarly. examination
of the facts makes 1t impossible for
the Republicans to claim the election
as a high4tariff victory. Salem. with
its cotton mills, was Walsh city;
so was Gloucester; so were Chicopee.
Holyoke. Lynn, Brockton. Woburn.
