The capture of Bagdad will likely cause a
whole lot Of folks to again read the fascinating
arabian Nights" the scene Of which is laid in
the famous oriental city. But what is of far con-
Germ is that the capture of the place will greatly
increase British prestige which suffered a par
tial eclipse last year when Kut-El-Amara was
surrendered in April by General Townsend.
Correspondingly, the British occupation Of so re-
nowned a city will lower the prestige and author
ity Of the Turks. 1t must be remembered that
Turkey is disliked by many of the Arabian tribes
and that they have been assisting the British in
the recent campaign. 1t may seem strange to
many that Arabians, who are intensely Moham-
medan in faith, should prefer Britain to Turkey,
but experience has convinced them of the justice
and freedom of British rule and of the corruption
and other evils of Turkish rule. It is increasingly
likely that when the British and Russians join
forces in Mesopotamia they will march north to
Constantinople and conquer it. That city is the
great objective as regards Turkey, and the pros
pect is now good that it may soon be invested by
the allied armies from the south. If so the OAR
danelles will be avenged.

Sometimes the unexpected happens. Certain
ly this was so when the. United States senate
amended it's rules by the adoption of the cloture.
If, a month ago, anyone had predicted such a
course, he would have been regarded as an ex-
IRENE visionary, but it has been done with almost
entire unanimity. Of course the immediate cause
for so radical a change is known to everyone. In
the flibuster that defeated the motion. to grant
certain powers to the president, the small minor
ity of twelve men gained their immediate end,
but in so doing they cut the ground from under
their own feet. Never again will it be in the pow
er of a small minority to permanently obstruct a
measure, and that is well for it is essential in all
representative government that the majority rule.
Making a two-thirds vote necessary for the appli-
of the cloture in any debate will safeguard
freedom Of speech and prevent any abuse of power
by the majority.

The death Of Count Zeppelin removes one Of
the most prominent and picturesque figures of the
war. The big air ships which his zeal and in
genuity made possible were expected to have a
terrorizing effect on the enemy and it was freely
predicted, even as it was said to be the hope of
their inventor, that they would destroy London
and other large ~centers, and in general commit
such havoc that the suffering nations would be
glad to beg for peace. As a matter Of fact the Yep
pelins have practically failed in their primary pur-
pose, to the very great disappointment Of their in
ventor. All the same the Zeppelins have rendered
good service to the central powers as observation
balloons, and to that one thing they will be likely
limited in the future, as their great size make
them an easy mark to the smaller and more
easily managed biplane.

month. The exceeding gravity of national affairs
make it very desirable that the legislative branch
of the government be in session to ~legislate, ad-
wise and support. That one disquieting feature is
the evenly balanced state Of the two great par
ties. In normal times this would not count so
much and the country might get a certain amount
of the amusement in watching the efforts Of each
party to elect a speaker. But in these days when
events are moving so rapidly, there should not
be the slightest delay. If even the nation de-
manded patriotism by the two parties, that time
is now. That congress will rise to the occasion
few question. The recent well nigh unanimous
action on the arming Of merchantmen shows of
what stuff congress is made.

ARMING MERCHANTMEN.

The United States is making history fast these
days, but not through and desire of it's own. It's
one great wish through these years of war is to
go its own way, unmolested by any of the bel
ligerent powers. 1t has dom. it's best to be neutral
in a most peaceful fashion, but the logic of events
has been too strong for her and today she finds
herself on the verge of war.
Whether or not the arning of merchantmen
for defense precipitates war no one can tell, but
if it does the blame will not rest with this coun-
try. 1t is well recognized that merchant ships
have the right to so arm themselves and that in
doing so they do not lose their status as peaceful
craft. The practice began in the bad old days
when pirates and buccaneers sailed the seas and
seized with impunity any ship unable to withstand
them. This led to the arming of the merchant
men with stern guns so that they might have a
chance to escape. While piracy in it's old form is
now a thing of the past, the practice of arming
ships has continued, and the present war shows
that it is needed. .
American ships and those of all neutral ma
lions have right to the freedom of the seas.
The right of search on the high seas for contra
band of war may be dis. lted, but at the worse it
involves only inconveni3 nce for which financial
reparation may be made. But to sing peaceful
ships at sight without warning and with probable
of life is a very different matter. You may
make good material loss by money, but no amount
Of money can replace human life, especially the
lives of innocent women and children.
