That was very decent of Mark.

WAR FORTUNE.

J. P. Morgan the elder, although re,
garded in his time as the financial
king of his country, didn't really
know how to make money. The pres.
ent J. p Morgan is said to have made
as much in the last two years as his
father made in his whole career, or
at least as much as he left at his
DEATH
The elder Morgan found his oppor-
tunity in the consolidation of Amer
lean industries into trusts. The
younger Morgan found his opportun.
ity in the European war. And he
has made the most of it.
Under a contract with the British
government the Morgan firm has re.
ceived commission of per cent on
all munitions and supplies purchased
by the Allies in this country. Those
purchases have amounted to about
$4,000, 100000 so far. 1t likewise gets
banking commission on all loans
raised here for foreign governments
Such loans are said to aggregate at
present about $1,5OO,O00,OOO. There
are also commissions for selling
many hundred million dollars worth
of foreign owned American securities
for the British government, and com.
missions for call loans and commits.
sions for stabilizing British exchange.
In fact, it's hard to imagine any none.
tary phase of the war that doesn't
bring in commissions to the House
Of Morgan. '7
It's a record in which Mr.. Morgan
as a business man may justly take
pride. But the comparison is by no
means all in his favor. The elder
Morgan was more than a money-mak-
er. During a good part of his life he
devoted more attention to art than
to business. The art collections he
left were worth nearly as much as his
business interests. The younger Nor.
gan cares so little for art that he is
rapidly selling and scattering those
collections.

TOUGH on TURKEY,

Rome reports, thus far unconfirm.
ed, announce the fall of the Turkish
cabinet. 1t would not greatly sur.
prise anyone if the report be true and
revolution should spring up to de-
pose the Sultan.
Turkey is in desperate straits, un.
questionably. The recent disastrous
and foolhardy attack on Suez may be
taken as evidence thereof, for it can
be explained only upon the hypothe.
sis that it was undertaken as a for.
lorn hope which, if successful, might
keep the recalcitrants in line for a
time longer. That attack having end.
eu in rout of the Turkish forces, the
situation is critical. The great Turk.
ish army in Mesopotamia is almost
cut off by the drive of Grand Duke
Nicholas; by this time it may be en-
tirely cut off, for news leaks out SLOW
ly from the Far East. All Armenia
has been taken by the Russians, to-
gether with several Of the most DOW
erful fortresses in Asiatic Turkey.
Bagdad is in imminent danger of cap
ture.
In Europe the Central Powers, in
stead Of sending help to much harass-
ed Turkey, are calling on it for help
to stay the Russian advance on Aus
tria. Rumors that Bulgaria is con.
templating a separate peace are rife.
Should Bulgaria get out ahead of
Turkey, the allied army concentrated
in Greece could probably take Con.
stantinople by land attack in short
order.
The wonder is that Turkey has
stuck as long as it has, for even if
the Central Powers won, it would be.
come but a German dependency to a
large extent. The Allies have declar.
ed that If they are victorious, the
Turk must be banished from Europe,
to dwell forever hence in his Asiatic
domain. The trouble is that it looks
now as II he might not have even
that refuge left when peace comes.
And Turkeys wise old men, read
ing the handwriting on the wall, trem
Bile and plot the overthrow of the
Young Turks, the war party.

and, in the end, gave to the world a
poem which since has won for him
recognition as Americas greatest
poet.
"The Raven" is the title of the
poem, and it is typical of that famous
poet-a melancholy, weird collection
of verses which truly indicates his
moody and gloomy temperament. It
is an epitome of Poe's life-a tragedy
from beginning to end-and it reveals
clearly the undying affection which
he had for his lost wife.
Today, almost a century since Poe
wrote his remarkable poem, Essanay
has succeeded in accomplishing the
difficult task of reincarnating Poe.
Essanay has found Poe's parallel and
his double, in looks as well as tenn
permanent, in the person of its lead
ing actor, Henry B. Walthall, called
"The Poe of the Screen" and consid-
cred the living image of the great
poet.
"The Raven will be shown at the
