The Turks complain of their ALL
nnce with the Kaiser, and openly
declare their desire to sever the bonds
that now unite them with Prussia.
Who can blame them?
Victory for the Teutonc dynastles
would mean for WILHELM greater
power, for CHARLES continuance in
nominal rulership over his disturbed
empire and for Turkey escape from
the penalty for murder and the priv
.lege of snatching from the floor the
scraps Of food that might fall from a
voracious and misery masters table.
No matter which side wins. the Turks
lose. They may lose to honorable en-
emies, or they may lose TO dishonor-
able allies. This Is the choice that lies
before them. Peace with the Entente
means for them solution of the
problems raised by the war through
treaties whose signatories can be
trusted; but the league with Germany
and Austria means ceaseless war

moralization. whose effect no man can

What Has Been Done.

with the situation imposed on the
Crown Princes army by the genius
Of General FocH through the might
of allied arms changing hourly, 1t
would manifestly be foolhardy to at
tempt to predict what the ultimate
outcome Of the present struggle In the
region north of the Soiseons- Rheims
line will be, but 1t would be no less
foolish to ignore what has been ac-
complished in the fighting that has
already been done, and what, in gen
eral, its effect must be.
One thing is plain, and subtlety OF
the German Staff cannot conceal IT.:
the Crown Princes army has been
licked in every conceivable form of
warfare by the French, by the Brit
ish, by Italians and by Ameri-
cans. The forces under the heir to
the throne have been driven from
trenches, driven from strongholds,
driven from natural positions easily
adaptable for defence. They have
been driven across open country In
retreat, and their counter attacks,
skilfully organized and remorselessly
pushed, have been broken up and
smashed. They have been outfought
and outtricked; their retirement has
been altered to a precipltate retreat.
and In some hearts the hope begins
to unfold that before the end Is
reached the word rout may properly
be on the lips Of the Allies.
To avert this possible rout reen-
forcements have been sent to the
Crown Prince from the Italian front
and from Flanders. This fact dis
closes the far reaching consequences
of the triumph General FoCH has
won. 1t will not do to say that the
German plans on other parts of the
line will be affected by the Crown
Princes defeat; they have already
been seriously dislocated, If not rem
dered utterly impracticable. All the
labor that went into their prepara-
tion has been for nothing.
The moral effect of the defeat at
home and in the army is worthy OF
consideration. The troops and the
civil population were told the French
were bled white, the Americans use
less, the British negligible. The truth
cannot be long hidden; the Germans
may take it either way they wish ;
that their troops are inferior to bled
white, useless, negligible troops or
that their rulers lied to them.
The loss of food and munitions Is
a serious blow to the German mill
tary establishment. The booty taken
in the March drive was a godsend to
the Germans: the loss of that which
they are forsaking now as they fall
back, representing the accumulation

LOUIS ON GOWNS.
He Almost Married the Owner OF
Seventeen.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: AS
a much experienced man regarding the
ways and eccentricities of womankind,
| can add to Mr.. Cabot's letter.
The reason so few intellectuals marry
Is the utter onesidedness Of a woma.l's
mind. As Lowell said, their religion
rests on the unreasonableness of their
absolute love for dress. Had they more
reverence for the affections. marriages
would be more happy.
In 1897 i made the acquaintance of
! miss Of IS in the Catskill Mountains.
Her mother was there. She seemed to
like me. for the manifest reason that
she gave up her time to let me paint
her, under an apple tree-then. seated
in an srbor. &c. We danced together
! after supper-and generally agreed on
| most topics. 1t was a match.
After the summer, on leaving, I in
| vited her to call at my studio in the
city.
She came. and posed. Then was
aware that her dress was extremely ex-
travagant. In fact, to paint It was hard
work. Ballooned sleeves, long skirts and
unnecessary furbelows TO distract a
mans idea Of any sense to be affec-
| tionate.
How many such costumes have
! you got?' Queried.
| ''Oh. about seventeen" she noncha-
lantly answered.
Each time she had called another
expensive dress enveloped her tall body
l ruminated seventeen different dresses
say at 500 to $3.50 apiece. Summed
up: impossible to support her in mar
rage. An artist could not earn thai

! An intellectual does not care for a

ciableness. A simple. artistic costume

Hence II is a wonder that men exis,
who are willing TO support a woman

TAX OVERTIME?
A Worker Who Gets 1t Suggests a
Source Of Revenue.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: I
have a suggestion to make whereby the
Government might raise quite a big rev.
enue, and It would not impose any no
tlceable hardship on the persons affected
by II.
Throughout the country there are
many thousands OF men who are bene-
fitting by the war by getting more or
less overtime work. for which they re-
ceive pay for time and half o. dou-
bile time. Would II not be only fair
that these men should pay certain
percentage OF their profits to the Gov
eminent?
II a man received an extra so cents
a day he certainly would not miss 10
per cent or Ave cents out of II, as the
balance would be extra anyhow. You
can readily see what a largo sum could
be raised in this manner. AS for col
lectins, II would have TO be done by the
employers, and the whole could he set
tied at the time the income taxes are
adjusted.
I have no doubt that such tax
would Immediately raise a storm OF
protest by n few agitators connected
with the various trade unions through
out the country, who would seek to ga in
credit for fighting for their cause by
claiming that the capitalists were trying
to throw the expense OF the war on
the shoulders OF the workingman. disre-
garding the fact that the amount raised
would be only small percentage OF the
grand total required 10 win the war, and
that the real hardship would fall on
the employers, who would have all the
trouble of collecting the tax and keep
ing the accounts straight. But also
believe that over 90 per cent OF the
workingmen throughout tho country are
broad minded and patriotic enough to
see tho justice OF such a tax and would
willingly submit to It,
