BRITISH EFFORT FOR
SEPARATE PEACE WITH
TtJEkEV

Both the Khan and the Tasyiri-
Efkiar of Constantinople publish a
statement by Grand-Rabbi Hahn
Naoum relative to secret negotia-
tons which took place early in the
war between England and Turkey,
looking to a separate peace with the
Turks. A certain IN. Vital" (pre-
sumably WhittalD apparently acted
as intermediary. The statement
follows:
a few months after Turkey en-
tered the war | received a letter
from Mr.. Whittall expressing the
desire of his country to conclude a
separate peace. Making sure that
Mi. Whittall spoke the sentiments
OF his country-several kilograms
and letters were exchanged on this
subject took the mater up with
the Turkish cabinet. Talaat Bey,
who was i'll the positi'I of supreme
power at the time, referred me to
Minister Said HAHN, then Minister
of Foreign Affairs. The latter in
formed me that the matter deserved
the most serious consideration, and
asked where he might meet the
English plenipotentiary.
u suggested Dedeagatch, as being
neutral territory. Bulgaria had not
yet entered the war. | learned
thereafter that the Turkish plenipo-
Tertiary sent to Dedeagatch had to
deal, not with Mr.. WhittalI, but
with an English diplomat specially
delegated for that purpose.
THE Turks consented to make a
separate peace with England and
continue the war against Russia.
France, while reserving the right to
Russia being an ally OF France and
ENGLAND, these two nations would
not agree to abandon her.
1.-THE conditions Of the Allies
seemed to the Turks very severe.
Among them perhaps, We're the
freedom of the Straits and the ex-
pulsion of the Germans. A few
days later there was more cores
pOndence between me and Athens.
The Turkish government was again
invited to send a plenipotentiary.

behalf of the Entente earned me
the wrath of the German embassy,
which complained to the Turkish

BATTING
MEXICENS

We venture the opinion that Z
the Mexican government gave com
plete freedom to American capital
lists to exploit oil and minerals, as
well as native Mexican workers,
there would remain no Mexican
problem" The struggle of the Mex
lean is to prevent the extinction
Of their right to reserve their re-
courceS for their own use. If Ger
man imperialists once had the
dream Of empire from Hamburg to
Bagdad, American i.nperialists have
their dream Of empire from Canada
to the Isthmus. The Senate Com
mitteen now meeting on the Next
can border to investigate" Mexico
is a piece of international insolence
that would not be hazarded In the
cause of a first-class power. But
Mexico Is weak and must submit 70
the humiliation Of being "inYesti-
gated by imnerialist DULLES.
We presume the Fall committee
will report anarchy" and chaos" In
Mexico Our impression is that
there has been more orderly con-
duet Of affairs in Mexico in the past
few years than there has been in
our southern states. for example.
But there is the further cOnsidera-
ton, an embargo against Merieo in
the matter of importing. arms and
munitions, while the border bandits
have been engaged in the purchase
Of these things from the American
side. By what principle of interna--
tional equity or law the administra-
ton enforces this embargo against
a nation with which it is not at
war is something we do not under
stand. But at any rate, 1t is a piece
Of gross inconsistency to insist on
CarranZa keeping "order" and at
the same time telling him that he
cannot import arms and munitions.
The whole trouble lies in the in
vestment of American dollars in
Mexican oil. The gang that owns
these dollars insists on dragging the
laws of this country after them. If
any Mexican investors had some
millions of pesos invested in Mon.
tana copper mines and insisted that
Mexican laws should follow them in
to Montana, the American State De
partment would give these MeXican5
their passports and probably de
mand an apology from the Mexican
government. But the State Depart
ment can back the same preten-
sions of American capitalists in
Mexico and send threatening notes
to the Mexican government when 1t
resents this attack on its sovereign
ty. This bullying attitude may yet
reach the Ioint where thousands of
American workers are hurled into
Mexico after the dollars of Ameri-
can exploiters. Better that every
such dollar be sunk in the Pacific
than that the bones Of a single
American soldier be sacrificed for
Doheny and Company,-F'Xcelsior,
Mexico City.

But allowing for this, the Light says:
THE really impressive feature of

the Old Guard. The combined pro-
gressive vote was ten times that of
the vote for Governor Lowden, thus
showing that even the Republican
party in that part of the Union is
ten to one against the reactionaries
of the old school," The Kansas

If it is to win the next election. In
the light of the results Monday, what
chance would the Republicans have
if they appealed TO the prairie states

The Chicago Journal (Dem.) thinks
the Governor has fairly earned Ibis
position as candidate of the inter
ests. Under his regime, it says:

have had their taxes to the state

Lowden has lifted finger to protest

ton"
The Emporia Gazette Qnd.). how
ever, does not take these charges
against the Governor SO seriously. 1t
thinks they spring mainly from the
fact that he is "a son-in-law of the

gests, to go out and get the son-in.
