compelled to chance the social program

President now knows whether he will
make another trip.
The opinion prevails that he will go
into the south, and II he does. Louisville,
Ky, has been included upon his list for
a visit There is more opposition to his
preparedness program from southern
democrats in Congress than from any
other part of the country. and southern
cities are flooding the White House with
invita- lions for visits.

Washington from their western trip

all arrangements made for the recep-

Long Strained.
REVOLTED AGAINST
YOUNG TURK REGIME
Valid Edin, His Successor, Will
Meet Similar Fate, Opposition
Leader Intimates.

PARIS. February 3.-"Yussof IZZedin,
whatever may be said, was assassinated
by his suite, by order of the committee
of union and progress" said Cherif
Pasha, who, with Prince Sabah Edin,
directs the principal movement of the
Turkish opposition, according to re-
port of the Matn.
"Latterly Yussof had revolted against
the dictatorship of the Young Turks.
He became dangerous, and he has been
removed. His successor and cousin,
Valid Edin, is even more hostile to the
Young Turks than was Yussof. l should
not like to make prediction regarding
the length of his life said Cherif
Pasha in conclusion.
London Is Skeptical.
LONDON. February 3.-The report
that the heir to the Turkish throne,
Yussof IzZedin, committed suicide is
received with general incredulity by
the British press, although the report
has been accompanied by circumstan-
tial details. Thus dispatch to Reu-
ter's from Constantinople, via Amster-
dam. says:
1.-The prince took his life by opening
vein in his left arm at 1880 o'clock
in the morning. formal statement
declaring that the deceased had met
his death by suicide was signed by all
the principal doctors in Constantine
Pile 1t says further that the prince
was buried with the customary cere-
monies on the following morning in
the tomb of Sultan Ahmed, at STAN
boul.
Relations With Enver Pasha.
The British press draws attention to
the fact that the princes relations with
Enver Pasha had long been strained
to the breaking point; that the prince
was anti-German, and that his name
had not been allowed to appear in
Turkish dispatches for long time.
The Times refers to the mobilization
of all the doctors in Constantinople"
as q suspicious sign. The Graphic says
the story that he committed suicide
are at least possible. Enver Pasha has
already shown lack of scruple in en-
ploying summary methods Tor the re-
moval of opponents.
Active in Politics.
Yussof Izzedin had been active in
Turkish politics since the succession to
the throne Of the present sultan, and it
has been reported that his attitude
placed him at odds with the powerful
Young Turks. and also with the Ger
mans at Constantinople. He is said to
have been at the head of a peace party.
1t was reported last year that he had
been shot by Enver Pasha, Turkish war
minister, on account of their differ
ences in regard to the political policy
of Turkey.
The crown prince was a son of Sultan
Abdul AziZ. who was dethroned in 1876
and met n violent death soon after. He
was born in 1857 and was a first cousin
of the present ruler. The fact that he
was next in line TO the throne is due to
the religious and civil laws which for
hundreds OF years have determined the
royal succession.
During the reign of Abdul Hamid,
who was deposed in 1909, Yussof Izze-
din. who was distrusted by that ruler
was confined in a chateau at Tcham-
lidja, on the Asiatic side of the straits
