WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT.

The growing tenseness Of the situa-
ton between Germany and Turkey
owing to the Iatter's imperious atti-
tude toward her ally, now that the
end seems near is attracting consid-
cradle attention in Entente capitals
In most of these the situation at Con-
stantinople and Berlin is viewed as
distinctly favorable to the Allies, but
viewed in any light, it appears to us
to be case Of when thieves fall out
honest men get their dues"
One hears much of the so-callgd
Young Turk party at Constantinople
but the real power there still rests
with the Osmanlis, and the Osmanlis
are passing at this moment as. the
Achaemenids passed. They lost the
last of Europe in the Balkan War
and with it their prestige as increas-
ers of Islam; the growth of nationa
consciousness among their subjects
not least among the Turks themselves
has loosened the foundations of theil
military empires, as Of the other mill.

unheeded by the Moslem world; they
lost it in deed when the Sheriff of
Mekka asserted his rights as the legi-
innate guardian of the Holy Cities,
drove out the Ottoman garrison from
Mekka, and allied himself with the
other Independents princes of Arabai.
All the props OF ottoman dominion
in Asia have fallen away, but nothing
Gooms it so surely as the breath of
life that is stirring over the dormant
lands and the peoples once more. The
cutting of the Suez Canal has led the
highways of commerce back to the
Nearer East; the democracy and nat
ionalism of Europe have been extend
ing their influences over Asiatic races.
Or whatever terms the War is con-
cluded, one far-reaching result is
certain already there will be poll
teal and economic revival in West
ern Asia, and the direction of this
will not be in Ottoman hands.
We are thus witnessing the founda-
tion of q nav GRO oS momautous If
not as dramatic, as Alexander's pas
sage of Ibe Dardanelles The Otto
man vesture has waxed old, and
something can be discerned of the
new forms that are emerging from
beneath it; their outstanding features
are worth our attention.

|. BOATS TRYING NEw TRICKS.

lE is oIten asked Why tHose lew
large steamships the u oats succeed
in sinking are attacked On their
homeward trip. instsad of on their
eastward voyage, when they are filed
with troops and pfecious munitions
81 war for our me4 in France. Why
equal warship projection is not pro-
vided for both legs of the trans-At-
lantic voyage is another interesting
question one often hears asked.
A lack of available force may in
part explain this, and part it may be
that the best vessels are permitted to
return singly at their highest speed
and thus be freed from the delays
which would hamper them if they
steamed with large convoy of Older
Or duller vessels. So far the coming
and going of the vast fleets have been
eminentIy successful and worthy of
the finest traditions of American and
British seamen. It Is quite safe to
predict this success will be undated
and that the changed practices of Ger
man submarines will in no wise affect
the sturdy, steady and noble process
sion of eoger ships across the sea.
When fuller details of the action be-
tween the White Star steamship JUS
ticia and an enemy division, various
ly estimated as mastering from three
to eight underwater craft, are receiv-
ed a curiously interesting chapter
must surely be added to the story of
submarine warfare It was a gallant
fight, against heavy and particularly
vicious odds, and extended over TWEEN
ty-one hours. Destroyers and patrol
boats shared in it, but the fight was
no less vain than gallant, for despite
the determination Of the defence, in
ternal and external, German torpedoes
finally got home and the Justina, clos
ing in on the Irish coast, was sunk
luckily with small loss of life
The outstanding feature of this sus-
tanned engagement is the persistence
of the attack. Instead of scurrying
away after diving when destroyers
the submarines hung close
to the numbering course of the strick-
en- steamship, and despite the circl-
ing of the destroyers and the launch
ing of many depth charges made in
termittent but unsuccessful assaults
during the night and finally succeeded
in delivering the grace stroke on the
following day No question can en-
ter as to the skill and vigilance of the
Justica's armed guard of the destroy
ers and patrol boats.
The u-bOats are changing their tao
tics, and in the case of the Justicia
these new tactics proved successful.
No new method of maneuvering, how
ever will serve to save those u-boats
that come within range Of the deadly
depth bomb or run afoul one of the
many contrivances invented by the
Allied authorities to trap them before
they can begin their career of piracy
upon the high seas.
