from Gallipoli. That they will be
sent to either Egypt or Saloniki is &C
cepted. Which of these two points will
get them remains a secret. for OBJ
vious reasons. If the London war Of
fee believes that Germany is ready
to strike an effective blow at Egypt
naturally the troops from Suvla bay
and the Anzak district will go there,
to defend the canal, which must be
protected at all hazards. But If 1t IS
thought that Germany designs an on
set upon Greece to destroy the al
lied base at Saloniki the reinforce
ments must be sent thither.
Thus virtually ends the Dardanelles
campaign by land, most disastrous
failure for the British, to be recorded
as one of the costly mistakes of the
war, but heroically conducted and
productive of many demonstrations
of valor. There is, perhaps, consola-
ton for the British in the knowledge
that these troops that are now be-
ing sent to other fields are veterans,
hardened in campaign which for
hardships and perils has few equals
in the history of warfare.

The Philippines.

The democrats are making little
progress in the matter of the Philip
pines. That is to say, this Congress
is not asked to go as far as was
the last in promising independence.
In the preamble of the bill which
failed to reach a vote in the Senate
last winter it was provided that in
dependence would be granted when
the people of the Philippines are
fitted therefor Nothing was said as
to who should decide the question of
fitness, though, of course, the fair as
sumption was that the American peo-
pie, and not the Filipinos. were. in
mind
But no doubt is left on that score in
the preamble of the measure upon
which this Congress is to be asked
to vote. In that it is provided that
independence shall be granted when
in the Judgment of the United States
it will be to the permanent interests
OF the people of the Philippine Is
lands"
The change in terms is important,
but on that account not likely to be
really satisfactory to Filipino agita-
tors, though they may not protest.
They have had, and now have, an
early day in calculation for the es-
Enlistment of an independent gov
eminent, and for the withdrawal OF
the American authority as soon as
that is accomplished.
They are scheduled for disappoint-
ment, even if the present measure
passes Congress as drawn. The res
ervation, when in the judgment OF
the United States" is not in the in
terest of their game. That judgment
will be formed with deliberation, and
announced with extreme care. This
Congress, if it so desired, could not
fix time by day or year irrevocably
for Philippine independence. All
would depend on the progress of the
Filipinos, and on the condition of the
larger relations of the United States
as world power, when the time
came. For, most assuredly, we shall
never leave the islands except to a
government considered stable by US,
or at time when our REIMBURSEMENT
would threaten outside complications
in the far east.
AS a. matter of fact, the subject
should not have been brought for
ward at this time at ALL Congress
has its hands full of business that is
really important, and should not be
hurried or harried in handling it. Be-
sides, the war has far eastern con-
nection, which may become even
more delicate; and this admonishes
that we sit tight in that quarter as
in the home quarter until the new
order which the war is forcing takes
shape.

report that the impression is likely to
be wrongly created that the vicious
tendency prevails throughout. Inns
is not to be believed, nor is 1t to pc
accepted that because some OF the
men and women of high social stand
ing, eminent in good works and IN
fields of religious endeavor are IN
fected with the germ of vicious llv-
ing they are representative OF their
classes.
That Baltimore needs thorough
cleaning is evident from the report.
The same is true of practically all
other cities. 1t would be well II such
research were conducted periodical
ly in every community, as moral
remedy, whether the reformation
comes through change OF heart or
fear of detection and exposure.

The Sorrows of a Pacifist.

1t is impossible to contemplate the
situation on the Ford peace ship
without feeling somewhat sorry tor
the generous promoter of the expe-
dition, who is footing all the bills and
standing all the brunt OF the crltl-
cism that has been leveled at the
enterprise. From the hour the ship
cast loose from the New York dock,
it appears, there has been increasing
discord among the peace propagan-
dists, climaxing in midocean when an
attempt was made to get everybody
on board to sign protest against the
Presidents preparedness message to
Congress. AS the shores of the war
ring lands drew closer the schism
grew wider and the pacific hand of
Mr.. Ford himself, it is reliably re-
ported, was finally required to keep
the pacihsts from rending one an
other. Since the ship reached Nor
way tales of rancorous rowing have
come back, but it is to be noted that
in all these troubles the figure OF the
paymaster of peace remains the most
calm and unperturbed of all. He alone
of the pacihsts is really pacific. For
FIVE days, it is stated, he remained
in his cabin to avoid the wrangles of
his guests. Now he acknowledges
that it will be impossible to get the
soldiers out of the trenches by
Christmas, but he hopes to make
peace in Europe before the winter is
over. Whether there is any connec-
ton between this postponement and
the discord on the peace ship can
not be told at this distance. In any
case, it is safe bet that the origi-
nal outfit of peace crusaders will not
return together, but that they will
drift back in squads from time to
time, like their prototypes of the mid
die ages.

Democrats Are ''Deelighted."

Naturally. there is joy in the demo-
cratic household over the Gary din
ner. 1t is accepted as forecasting the
nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt for
President by such influences as will
give Mr. Wilson a walkover. So great
is the feeling OF felicitation. indeed,
that Senator Chiffon of West Vir-
ginia recalls with pride that he found
him first" A year ago he predicted
that Mr.. Roosevelt would lead the
opposition to Mr.. Wilson in 1916.
Are not the exhibitions of joy too
frank? VIII they not operate as a
warning? Did not Judge Gary lay
covers prematurely for his million
aire friends with their Millionaire
credits? 1t looks that way. He
should have considered that such a
dinner could not be kept secret, and
that publicity would invite such dis
cussion as would put every straight
out republican on guard. The mat
ter is out six months before conven-
ton time. and the talk already be-
gun will increase in volume and ami
nation as the weeks pass.
Last fall a new constitution, con-
tanning many elements of strength,
was submitted to the voters of New
York. and met with an overwhelming
defeat. A majority approaching half
a million was recorded against it.
Republicans, democrats, bull moosers
and socialists were found in numbers
in the ranks OF the opposition.
Why? Because the charge was
made and widely circulated and in
sisted upon that the convention which
had drafted the instrument had been
too much under the influence OF the
capitalistic classes; that it represent
ed their interests and desires far
more than those of the non-capital-
istic classes, and on that account did
not answer the purposes for which
the convention had been called. The
constitution had its champions, and
they were able and excellent men.
but they could not stem the tide of
the anti-Wall street feeling.
Would not presidential candidacy
tagged with a similar charge meet
with similar fatee How could it es-
cape? What more would be neces-
sary than to check off, bill clerk fash.
ion. the men who had brought the
candidacy into being, and were
financing it bountifully for their own
purposes? What would it avail to
reply with Mr.. Rooseve1t's antitrust
record OF a decade ago? Here would
be his trust support of even date,
with George W. Perkins at its head,
to show that he had made his peace
with the trusts, and in Office again
through their fundamentally would
be good"
Surely the republican leaders have
not lost their senses A Trojan horse
of such proportions. and stuffed to
the limit, should not be admitted
within their party's walls.

The Withdrawal From GalIipoli.

BY withdrawing the greater part of
the forces or the Gallipoli peninsula
England admits the hopelcssness of
the attempt to break the Turkish
line at that point. The withdrawal
should have been ordered months ago.
Indeed, 1t is now apparent that the
landing OF troops on the tip of the
peninsula was initially a mistake.
committing the fundamental error OF
frontal attack in the worst possible
conditions against foe that was at
home in a strongly defensive posi-
ton. Had the troops been landed
coincidentally with the naval attack
in'the Dardanelles it is now believed
likely that success would have been
achieved. But the naval attack.
which 'failed-it is now said to have
failed only because the attackers lost
their nerve at the very moment of
possible victory-was unsupported by
land offensive. When the ships with
drew the Turks poured into the pc
ninsula and established themselves so
cfectively that when with great diff
Guilty landings were made on the mar
row shores, under heavy FIRE from the
heights, the defense was too strong
TO be broken. Later, perhaps, ex-
plantations. may come as to why the
land expedition was aimed at the
tip of the peninsula when there was
more open terrain of attack at the
head of the Gulf of Saros, where the
peninsula is not as wide as below
the narrows of the straits, and where
the Turks would have been compelled
TO defend,not merely the approach to
Constantinople. but the lines of COM
munications with the peninsula forti-
fications.
The present question. however,
deals witAz the destination of the
troops that are now being withdrawn

The Baltimore Revelations.

A severe arraignment of the morals
of Baltimore is contained in the re-
port OF the governors special commits
sion, which has just been submitted
after three years of investigation.
Some of the accusations leveled
against groups and individuals are
shocking in the extreme. But it would
be unfair to Baltimore to believe that
a condition exists there which Is ex-
ceptional or peculiar to that COM
munity. The wickedness that is
charged is the kind of wickedness
that is likely to be found in any city,
and that might be uncovered by any
investigating commission with the
courage and the patience necessary to
find the facts. 1t is a condition that
unfortunately prevails where large
bodies of men and women are assem-
bled, where individual conduct is
more or less hidden in the mass, and
where the circumstances of life tend
to break down the moral restraints.
The great misfortune about a
sweeping indictment such as this that
lis returned against the Maryland
metropolis is that it lays under sus-
picion the whole body of the people,
whereas in truth doubtless only a
small proportion of the population is
open to accusation. No indication is,
of course, conveyed in the report as to
the percentage of the immortality OF
the commYpity. But so general are
the chargeksin the summation Of the
