Turks Fate Settled.

The disposition of European Turkey
and the Dardanelles is a question
brought suddenly to the front by the
armistice which has ended Turkeys
career as an ally of Germany. One
thing is regarded here is virtually GER
tain-the Dardanelles will never again
be under the domination of Turkey.
Great Britain and France are deter
mined upon this and the American
government has voiced its approval
of their position.
In some quarters the belief prevails
that. the Dardanelles will be interna-
tionalized, thus opening the Black Sea
to the commerce of the world and Civ.

No Armistice Announcement.
1t may be stated that while the arm
istice program which the Germans
await may not differ essentially from
predictions that it will include sur
render of the German navy and sub
marines, disarmament of the German
army and occupation of the German
strongholds, the framing of the pro-
gram has not been completed and any
informal announcements are prema-
ture. Exchanges between the Ameri-
can and allied governments as we'll as
discussions among the Representatives
in France still are in progress.
Great satisfaction over the develop /
ments was evident everywhere here.
American and allied military men ex-
pressed the opinion that the only ques-
tion now is whether Germany will
seek to delay the inevitable by fighting
a desperate defensive campaign alone,
or accept the surrender terms now
being framed.
With Turkey and Bulgaria out of

This was wholly hmintentional as the

the old system, it was always customary,
though not obligatory, to choose senator
from each probate district in this county
The law is the same now as it was then
regarding the choice of senators-simply
that Bennington county is entitled to two.
The present primary system operates
sometimes to the advantage of the more
populous portions of a county. as we see
in the present instance. The same result
has obtained in Windham county; as both
Republican nominees for the senatorship
are from the southern district The stu
alton in that county is especially open
to criticism, as both its senator's were
elected froLa the south and also. tive

This is the season when in normal
times landlords reluctantly yield to the
petitions of shivering tenants and
start up the steam plants of business
and residential buildings. But these
are not normal times and landlords
must not be considered unreasonable if
they politely refuse to begin thus early
in the fall to draw upon their precious
supply of fuel As nearly as can be
estimated Brattleboro will have to get
through the approaching winter with
approximately 1000 tons less coal than
it burned last year. If this winter
proves to be normal one the shortage
ought not to entail any suffering but
there is no margin on which we can
afford to be extravagant. No matter
how chilly the Office or bedroom may
seem these cool mornings we should
bear in mind it will be whole lot
more chilly in December and January
and February unless the towns coal
supply is conserved On that account
it behooves everyone not to get ''het
up" over present diseomforts. Keer
cool; the landlords will be just as gen.
erous with their coal supplies as the
supplies warrant.
