TURKEY IS EXPECTED
TO QUIT AT ONCE
Loss Of Beirut and Fall of
Cabinet Factors.
Special CG6is Despdtch 10 TEE sUH.
,COpnyiaAt. 1918; oil Eidhfa reaarrad.

LONDON, Oct. Sin semi Official cir
cles the capitulation OF Turkey is ex-
pected at any moment. Following the
fall Of the Cabinet and tho capture of
Beirut there are many Indications that
the Germans are losing control of the
Consta ntinople Government. Dispatches
from Berne report great disorder In the
Turkish capital as a result of these
events.
The fall OF Beirut, the strategic base
OF all the Austro-Turkish operations in
Syria, must hasten the application for
peace. which Turkey already had shown
that she ardently desired. She would
willingly have Joined Bulgaria but for
strong German pressure to await the
result OF the German peace move before
taking any irrevocable step.
The fact that the German dread
naught Goeben 10 anchored In the Golden
Horn and that most of the Ottoman
vessels are manned by German offi-
Gers. who also control the defenses of
the Dardanelles. has had a strong in
fiuence in preventing Turkey from TAX
ing the action she desires. 70

CITY PRESS COMMENT
ON WILSON'S REPLY
Puts German Leaders in Trap,
Says the "World."

The editorial comments Of the Neto
York newspapers on the Presidents reply
to Gsrmany's btd for negotiated peace
are as JoIIotos:
The world-In dealing with the Ger
man peace offensive President Wilson
has employed the same tactics that Foch
used In breaking the German military
counter offensive.

as a Judge, and as a Judge he orders the

should be entered into.
~. The Turkish portions Of the pres-
ent Ottoman Empire. should be assured
n secure sovereignty. but the other ma
tionalities which are now under Turkish
rule should be INSURED an pndoubted Sc
curtty Of life and an absolutely unmo-
Tested opportunity of autonomous de-
velopment and the Dardanelles should
be permanently opened as free pas
sage 20 the ships and commerce of all
nations under International guarantees.
For Independent Peiana.
H. An independent Polish state
should he erected, which should include
the territories Inhabited by indisputably
Polish populations, which should be as
sured a free and secure access TO the
sea and whose political and economic
independence and territorial integrity
should be guaranteed by International
covenant, -
IA. A general association Of nations
must be formed under specific covenants
for the purpose OF affordinR mutual
guarantees Of political independence and
territorial integrity to great and small
States alike.
Read In connection with other subse-
qucnt utterances OF the President there
Is also to be seen In the last paragraph
of the note an implied refusal to have
any dealings with the present rulers OF
Germany. While this N left 20 inference
pending the reply Of the German Govern
nent supporters Of the President have
no doubt that the President has every
intention OF standing by his uttetances
on this subject. =
"TheS Arc without Honor"
Tho most significant Of these utter
ances was that In his New York speech
In which he said: We are ali agreed
that there can be no peace obtained by
| any kind Of bargain or compromise with
the Governments Of the Central Empires
because we have deaith with them already
and have seen them deal with other Gov
ernments that were parties to this strug-
gle at BrestALitovsk and Bucharest.
They have convinced Us that they
are without honor and do not intend JUS
tice. They observe no covenants. accept
no principle but force and their own
interest. We cannot come TO farms with
them. They have made that impossible"
Another utterance Of the President on
this point to which attention was sig-
| niicantly directed was that In his speech
| on July Z. whom he called for the de-
struction Of every arbitrary Power any
| where that can separatsly. secretly and
| of Its single choice disturb the peace Of
the world. or II Il cannot be presently
destroyed at least It's reduction to virtual
| impoteney."

pating In riots on that day In the Ger

resistance to the authorities. The trial
, was held behind closed doors and re-
suited in the Socialist leader being SEN
fenced to thirty months penal servituds
and dismissal from the army.
Deputy Wilhelm Dittnnnn is an In

linked in October. 1917, with those of
, Deputies Haase and vogtherr, other
Socialists, with the mutiny In the Ger
man fleet. Dittmann was arrested in
Berlin February l when he attempted
to address a crowd in a Berlin suburb.

railroads in the third war year show record figure of the last twelve months of peace August, 1913-July, 1914, according to the Norddeutsche All gemeine Zeitung. In the first war year revenues fell off 32.1 per cent, and in the second war year 21 per cent As regards freight traffic, this yielded an increase of S per cent. on the record figure reached in the year ending July 31, 1914. These figures include the receipts from military raffic which, it is declared, taking the average of three years, formed only an eighth part of the total rail road income.
 The revenues for the month of Aug ust, 1917, are especially quoted as showing the development of railroad traffic Compared with the corres- bonding month of 1916, the passenger traffic showed an advance of 30.6 per cent, and of Al per cent. as com pared with August 1913, the last cor responding month of peace. Freight traffic rose 11.6 per cent, as com pared with August, 1916, and 19.1 per cent as against 1913.
 A Vienna dispatch says the reve- nues of the Austrian State railroads have risen since the last peace year from $50, ,00O,O 900 crowns to 1,OSO,O0O,- 900. while expenditure for the current financial year is put at 1,19O,OOO,OOO crowns.

 It has been the custom of coal deal ers in an effort to protect their own customers to decline to accept orders from strangers. This caused hur- ried search of coal yards by those who were in need of coal From now on dealers will try to secure coal for all those who apply for it. The public must show patience in the matter of deliveries. The dealers are forbidden bv law to sell in large quantities and their deliveries of smaller loads can- not be made in such rapid time. Those whose bins show a shortage should put in their orders, as it may take several days before the coal is delivered.

WILSON TO VETO
BILL BECAUSE Of
NEW WHEAT PRICE

tuv MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIRsI
Washington, July 6.--President Will
son will veto the annual agricultural
appropriation bill because of the rider
agreed to by both senate and house
today fixing the government mini
mum guaranteed wheat price at s2,40
a bushel This information was trans
mitted to Chairman Lever of the
house agriculture committee today
through Postmaster General Burleson,
just before Speaker Clark had signed
the bill preliminary to sending it to
the White House.
Should the president veto the bill
the $2S,000, 900 annual appropriation
of the department of agriculture would
be tied up until congress convenes
The department however, would not
be without funds as congress today
adopted resolution continuing last
years appropriation until the appro-
priation bill finally is enacted,
The $ll.000.000 emergency agri-
cultural appropriation measure will go
,ver until after the recess, its passage
having been blocked in the senate be-
cause of the Norris amendment pro-
viding for wartime prohibition.
Officials estimated that il the $2.40
price for wheat is approved the price
of flour would be increased by ap-
proximately SO a barrel, with an in
crease of from 2 to 8 cents in the price
of loaf of bread, With $2.40 as the
basis price, wheat probably would sell
in New York at $2.75 bushel, it was
said.

German emperor was responsible for
