Of the straits have certain advan-
tages, In the mountainous character
of the peninsula and In Its narrow
ness, which will largely compel
frontal attacks. The present war
has proved that progress is gained In
such conditions very slowly and at
heavy cost. The allies, however.
have possibly offsetting advantage
in being able to employ a heavy
naval force In close cooperation with
the army.
A clearance of the peninsula and
of the Asiatic coast beyond the mar
rows of all Turkish forces would
doubtless effect the fall of CONSTANT
nople, for when once the allied fleet
can enter the Sea of Marmora, with
a free channel of passage to and
from the Aegean sea. the evacuation
of the Galllpoli peninsula and the fall
of the capital are virtually assured.
The fighting on the two shores Of
the Dardane1les. In conjunction with
the operations of the fleet, will con-
tinue to hold international attention
until results are achieved by one side
or the other.

The Drive on Constantinople.

Interest In the European war con-
tinues TO center In the Dardanelles
campaign. which Is recognized as
having a most important bearing
upon the general situation. If Con-
stantinople can be captured and the
sea route between Russia and the
Mediterranean opened the cause Of
the allies will be greatly assisted,
through the release of Russian wheat
and the opening of way to attack
Austria on the flank. besides virtual
ly destroying the power of the Turks.
At present the allies have effected
a landing on the two points of land
fanking the mouth of the Darda-
nelles. 1t is obviously their design
to press northward on both sides I'M
til on the east the land defenses
have been overwhelmed as far as the
narrows and on the west until the
entire Gallipoli peninsula has been
swept clear OF Turkish troops AS
soon as this is accomplished the al
lied forces. land and naval, will have
a clear way to Constantinople. Such
campaign. however, is certain to
be attended with great difficulty.

Chemistry and War.

Chemistry i. playing an important
part In the European war, and the
man with the retert and the test tube
!. e4ertins tremendous influence
upon the fate of nations. The pre-
duction of modern explosives is the
result of chemical research, and even
the manufacture of steel for the maxi
ing of guns and shells is due TO work
In the quiet of the laboratory. Now
GENES the employment of ga. as an
offensive agency. Each side Is ae-
cu.ing the other of violating the prin-
cipiee of international agreements
regarding munitions and missiles, and
both are evidently using nexieus
fumes to disable and even to kill
their opponents. Now the French,
il i. reported. have countered on the
German use of chlorine by pouring
ammonia on the ground to combine
with the other gas to form HARM
less ammonium bromide. War has
become a battle of inventions, and
the scientist, who himself could not
WELD weapon In the field, Is per-
haps to be the decisive factor In the
great struggle.

A Fishing Expedition.

Mr.. Roosevelt, 1t is stated. will
soon visit friends in Louisiana and
try the fishing. Real fishing is meant.
of course. although, Mr.. Roosevelt is
better known rs hunter than as fish
ernan. The streams Of that state
arc tempting, and if the distinguished
visitor throws his line with skill and
watches the cork he may have q
corking time.
But will he eonfne himself to pis-
catorial sport? His host will be Col.
Parker. a politician of local celebrity
and follower of Mr.. Roosevelt. In
fact, Mr.. Roosevelt has the credit of
having greatly influenced Col. Par
ker's judgment about politics and his
present attitude toward public ques-
tons.
Seated then comfortably on the
bank of a we'll stocked stream, the
two friends may forget their bait in
the water and fall to consulting
about fishing for men - delegates
from the south to the next repub-
lican national convention. The time
approaches for that sort of activity
in the south, and both Mr.. Roosevelt
and Col Parker are very much alive.
Louisiana is represented in bull
moose circles as good fighting ground
for those DESTROYS of putting the
democratic party there and in the
country at large out of business. The
sugar interests are greatly disgrun-
tied. Prominent democrats charge
that they were misled in 1912 about
the states leading industry; that
there was assurance it would not be
injured in case of Mr.. Wilson's cleo
ton.
So assured, they worked for him at
home. and took an active part in
promoting his fortunes elsewhere.
Then came rude awakening. Sugar
got the hook" and heavy losses re-
suited. Last November bull moose
candidate for Congress in Louisiana
beat a democrat, on the issue of the
betrayal OF sugar in the house of its
supposed friends.
Still, one swallow does not make a
summer. The democratic line else
where in Louisiana and throughout
the south held; and. figuring on that
fact. the democratic managers arc
counting the south as certain to be
solid again for the democratic ma
tional ticket.

ing automobile involves a person in

Bosses.

Two old questions are being re-
vived and emphasized at Syracuse.
and at the close of the trial will be
much discussed again. () What Is n
boss? and (2l Why is boss1
In politics the word boss carries
an offensive meaning. 1t IS ASSOC
ciated in the popular mind with
caucus-hxing, wire-pulling. and even
the milder forms Of sleulduggery. The
boss is supposed to set up Jobs on
the opposition and, when he sue
ceeds in putting them over" TO
profit in some way personally by his
skill and industry.
In business it is different. The
word there, far from being offensive,
carries compliment. 1t gives dis
tinction that is sought. The man
who wears it performs important
duties, in every way necessary and
above-board in whatever is in hand.
Think of the boss in a mining
camp; in a railroad construction
camp or railroad freight yard; on the
docks of a great city; wherever men
in numbers are employed. and some
man above the average must cut out
the work and see that it is per-
formed Bosses in business lines are
absolutely essential to the carrying
forward of big enterprises.
Now, as some inquire, why is this
not true in politics? Why. in the
cutting out of work there and see
ing that it is performed, is not boss
ism as reputable as it is necessary!
Large numbers OF men are to be con-
sidered. Their interest in public
questions is to be aroused, and, later,
they must be mustered at the polls,
ballot in hand. What is disreputable
in such work: Why are men who
perform it denounced indiscrim-
inately?
There are bosses and bosses in
politics, have been since politics be-
gan, will be while politics lasts. No
statistics are available, but no risk
is taken in asserting that only few
bosses, comparatively speaking, have
tagged the whole fraternity with OPP
probrium. The great majority of
those - bosses, if you will now en-
gagged in the routine of politics are
well and honorably employed. They
need not apologize for themselves or
their employment. Party government
is largely based on such service.
As for the black sheep, they are
probably not blacker or more numer-
Gus than the members of like color
of other focks. The boss who sells
nominations to Office, or legislation
after victory at the polls, has his
fellow in the boss who sells jobs in
business, and then collects per cent
of the wages from those he en-
ploys, or knocks down" in some
other fashion in the line of his &C
tivity. Politics does not of itself
make man a rascal.
