A TURNING OF THE TIDE IN THE
NEAR EAST

The Berlin Vienna Constantinople
railway line is vitality important to
the central powers, in both a mill
tary and an economic way. 1t unites
the four countries in matters of COM
munication and transportation, and
Rives them an outlet to the east. 1t
insures supplies to Germany and
Austria, munitions Of war to
Turkey and Bulgaria.
When the allies campaign to
take Constantinople failed, they
gathered a great force at Saloniki,
whose object evidently was to
threaten the Turkish capital from
another direction, by cutting the
Orient railway. Now it develops
that the Roumanian seizure of Or
sova, in Pennsylvania, was intended,
not to secure an entrance to Hun
gary, but as a base for a drive
southwark through Serbia and
thence against the Teutonic forces
which confront the army Of Saloniki.
Il is reported that the Bulgar-Ger-
man force that crowded into south
eastern Roumania has been checked,
while the Roumanian army that took
Orsova has turned sharply south
ward, plainly with the purpose of
cutting the Orient railway and then
coming up on the rear Of the Teu-
ton armies farther south.
Such campaign would be a ire
mendous flanking movement; out
fanking Austria and Germany in the
southeast, Turkey and Bulgaria on
the northwest; driving wedge into
the central federation and splitting
It in two, while capturing one of
it's great armies between two supe-
rior forces of the allies. 1t is a
gigantic conception in strategy,
which if successful should have an
important, possibly a decisive, ef-
feet on the war.
For such big operation, the al
lies could bring to bear their COM
mand of the sea, the great polyglot
army of Saloniki, perhaps the Greek
army, the Roumanian army, and
huge forces from Russia. Perhaps
Austria and Germany could match
this for time; but with the terrific
pressure now being eNerted in the
west, the east, and the Trentino Sec
ton, it is difficult to understand
where the Teutons will find the
forces to sustain their position.

THE MILK PRODUCERS CASE

The milk producers who find their
market in Washington declare that
theirs is "a grounding case:" they
just naturally must have more for
their milk or quit raising it. 1t
must be pretty obvious that they do
not overstate the case, when it is
known not only that many of them
are determined to go out of the
business, and into other lines Of
agricultural production, but that
many others have already done this.
Washington's situation in this re-
gard is parallel to that Of many
other cities. Some time ago the milk
producers tributary to Chicago ac-
tually Struck" they announced that
they would not send milk at the
prices they were getting, many Of
them quit, and they secured some
concessions in price. New York is
now facing a like state of affairs.
The State food commissioner has
looked into the case and taken Wig
orously the side Of the producers.
He finds that they must have more
for milk, or presently there will be
no milk for the metropolis. They
are producing it at loss. The New
York commissioner declares that
they must have a cent more per
quart under present conditions, and
he has undertaken to organize a
buying and distribution system
which, he says. will be so conducted
that it will be possible to pay this
price.
The Maryland-Virginia producers
are asking that the public inform
itself about their case, and to that
end have taken steps to induce the
Office Of markets of the Department
of Agriculture to make an inquiry
into costs Of producing and distribut-
ing milk for this market. They want
the public to know the facts, con-
WINGED that their case will win ap-
prevail and that when it is under
stood measures will be taken to
grant them justice either by raising
the price to them and the con-
sumner, or by effecting economies in
retail distribution. 1t may be added
that the producers generally believe
that the proper organization of dis
tribution will make it possible to
raise the initial price without in
creasing that which is charged to
the consumer.
Raising milk was never so expen-
sive as now, because everything that
goes to make milk is higher: the
cows, land, all kinds of feed, labor,
utensils. 1t is very evident that
farmers will not 90 on producing
milk at a loss while other farm
products are commanding higher
prices than ever before. If the profit
cannot be had from milk, the farm
ers will have to turn to the things
that will pay. But what will be-
come of the consuming public in that
event? Somehow the farmers must
be induced to provide it with the
milk it absolutely must have.

G. o. P. Scrupling at Nothing.

Long Branch, Oct. 2S.-That the
opposition to his election is "scrup-
ling at nothing in statement OF
fact and policy, was the charge made
by President Wilson in speech at
Shadow Lawn this afternoon to a
throng that assembled for a joint
celebration of New York day. and
"Woodrow Wilson day."
What are we to say he asked.
''of the patriotism of men who take
advantage of a crisis of the world,
when the fortunes of men hang in un-
certain balance, when the peace of
this great nation can be maintained
only by the most thoughtful and con-
siderate means, to settle question
of power among themselves.
Renewing his discussion of the
foreign policy of the United States
and speaking of the vocal element
of the Republican party, the presi-
dent declared: They prefer a peace
that is produced by the methods OF
those who defy, of those who brag, of
those who threaten in order to estab-
lish their prowess. They have for
gotten their manners. They want a
peace indeed, but they do not want
a peace obtained as gentlemen obtain
it, but only as braggarts obtain it,

Columbia, Oct. 27.-The State fair
of 1916 passed into history tonight,
the most successful from every stand
point of any of the fairs in the forty
eight years of it's existence. The
greatest contribution to the success
of the fair is the attendance. More
people visited the State fair this year
than ever before in it's history. The
exact figures of the attendance for the
week have not been made public as
yet but it is estimated that over
100000 people were admitted to the
fair grounds during the week.
Yesterday was the big day of the
fair and people are still talking about
the size of the crowd. Nothing was
more indicative of the Statewide
character of the crowd that the num-
