BIsECTING
TURKEY

IA contemporary suggests that as
a blow to British prestige there IS
no use in trying to minimize the sur
render of Kut-el-Amara, but as a
military event it is absolutely insight
ficant in comparison with a couple OF
lines in the Russian official bulletin
announcing that near Diarbeklr the
Russians had driven in the Turkish
outposts.
The distance of. Diarbekir from the
Bagdad Railroad, which is commented
on in some of the stories, is matter
of no consequence. The allies have
full command of the Mediterranean,
and at Adana and east Of that city the
Bagdad Railroad comes within few
miles of the sea.
The Russian army near Diarbekrr
is half way from the Caucasus to the
Mediterranean. In other words, 1t
has cut its way half across the Turk
ish Empire, amputating the Syrian
and Mesopotamian regions from Asia
Minor. In three months of mid-wln-
ter the Russian fc-ce has advanced
240 miles through deep SHOWS and
over high mountains. How long will
it take to traverse the remaining 24O
miles of comparatively open country
in the latter part of spring?
The Turkish forces at Bagdad and
the forces in Syria, OF near the Suez
Canal, of whose reality there is some
doubt, are likely in few weeks to be
cut off from Constantinople and all
Asia Minor by a Russian swath cut,
broadly soaking, from the eastern
end of the Black Sea to the northeast
corner of the Mediterranean.
The Russians could not move fast
enough through the mountains in
mid-winter to avert the surrender of
Gen. Townshend, but they are NOV
ing quite fast enough to make the
complete dissection Of Turkey highly
probable, if not, indeed, an absolutely
certain, event of the next few weeks.

CHICAGO TEACHERS WIN
Court Rules They Can't Be Ousted
For Joining Federation.

Chicago, May 2.-School teachers
of Chicago triumphed in their fight
against the rule barring them from
membership in the Chicago Teach
ers' Federation in the appellate court
yesterday. The upper court affirmed
the decision of Judge Denis E. Sui
livan, of the Superior Court, which
issued temporary injunction against
the Board of Education restraining
it from enforcing the rule and denied
the motion to dissolve the injunction.
The court quoted decisions setting
forth that any Board of Education
rule restricting teachers employed to
members of any particular societies
or unions would be void.
at follows logically" the Court
said. chat a rule which restricts enl-
ploymcnt to nonmcmhcrs of such So
cietics also is void"

ANOTHER

Tho latest revolt in Ireland, as
has generally been the case, was
shortlivcd. Like summer thunder

ious, but the clouds soon emptled
themselves ard quiet now relgns
where a few days ago rlotlng and
bloodshcd were in evidence.
Most people in the United States
regret the fact that relations between
ireland and the Great Britain have
never been amicable. 1t is untortun-
ate that such conditions exist. They
have long been chronic, and wounds
suffered in bygonc years have healed
falsely, as will be the case with those
sustained during the past week.
While most people in this country
sympathize with Erin, there are facts
connected with this latest attempt up
on the part of the Irish to throw oil
the English yoke which are not com
mendable, and the seizure OF the pres
ent opportunity to obtain by force
what it is likely will DC conceded lat

RISE AND FALL OF A REPUBLIC
Baltimore American)

Were the matter not so tragic in
its insanity and lack of success, the
rise and fall of the Irish republic
would furnish a fund of irresistible
amusing comment. But as matters
are, with possibly hundreds Of lives
sacrificed and the flag of the over
night republic hauled down and peace
sued for by the leaders Of the mad
mems revolt, the situation is not one
for levity. Mr.. Redmond echoes the
sentiment of all sane Irishmcn when
ne declares that the revolt was aimed
more at home rule than at. England.
1t was a revolt against the measure
of justice and autonomous govern
ment for which the Irish have been
striving for generations and the at
tainment of which was cause for
wide jubilation.
The rise and fall of the Irish re-
public will never command the gen.
Jus and labor Of Gibbon, as it will
stand out as crazy, chimerical en-
terprise. The nearest approach to il
was the John Brown raid in this coun-
try. But that was UNNECESSARILY more
potent and significant-wild as was
the raid itself. That the leaders Of
the Irish revolt reckoned without
their host is not of itself remark
able. One is reminded of the mistake
of the illustrious English historian.
Freeman, who, during the course of
the Civil War in this country. under
took to write a history Of the United
States down to the dissolution of the
FEDERAL tie. Freeman's literary labors
in this direction are now curiosity

Periodically movements are launch,

addresses were made by men, AMI

It is supposed that. when all the saw :,

Nature is redivivant on the hrst

May pole dances are held by inc

In the midst of all this innocent
mirth it is to be regretted that May

weapons of peaceful industry and
march in procession through the

menacing those who conscientiously
cannot look at things through their

Is there not enough in our own
land to absorb the attention OF think

their eyes upon home conditions IN
stead of playing the part OF MRS.

Should it not be patent to all that

When Christopher Columbus reach

heard of the Gospel, but they were
living in the spirit of it. They were
far more innocent than their Spanish
visitors. Those who have read the
early history of this country have
been struck with the attentions shown
by the natives to the Spaniards, SO
much SO that their courtesies often
bordered on annoyance. The Span
