Is it any wonder that the democrats are thinking se- Tiously of readjusting the tariff? SLOW MOVING DIPLOMACY. Much eriticism is being expressed in England of the diplomatic victory Germany won when it secured the cooperation of Bulgaria. This is because it is thoroughly understood what an important part that country unphyumfllyolthemml-—_—— powers while it would have been an equally effecttve addition to the en- tente allles and its strict neutrality would have served to defeat the pur- pose of Germany. P Having credited Germany with suc- cess in the first battle of wits, since Bulgaria has unquestionably been won over by the alluring promises which were made in accordance with the known weakness of the king of that country, whose ambition 1s to be the czar of the Balkans, it remains to be seen what stronger influence the diplo- macy of the allies can bring to bear which will serve to offset the apparent sain which the enemy has made. This of course could be dome by bringing Rumania and Greece into the éonflict, but it has already been asserted that Germarny has anticipated as much and by advance action has already guaran- teed theid neutrality to Bulgaria. If such proves to be true there is reason for the criticism that is being direct- ed agalnst England’s forelgn minister as well as those among the other al- lies in whose hands foreign affeirs are pl Unless the allies can overcome what Is claimed by Germany and what thus far has not been disproved, they have reason to feel that the Teutons have not only outstripped them in ness for war, but also in diplomatic action, with the tremendous effort for the opeéning of the Dardanelles rest- 'RAILROAD TRESPASSING. purpose of warning the pub- and instructing it These tracks, but instead of giving no- such acts are forbldden a appeal is made by setting the peril that exists and the fate £ 1“mh-l have met by disrezard- it is realized that there were persons killed on the raflroads trespassing during 1914 and 6,354 d, it can be realized that there ‘& great oppdrtunity for self preser- tion if the trespassers will but keep from the danger.

No npew: papermen are allowed to visit the a fected districts and reports from these are altogether unreliable. .The re- ticence of the Turkish government cannot be looked upon as a good sign however especlally when viewed in the light of what the German government has been obliged to do. OTHER VIEW POINTS subject, the Turkish government has succeeded in throwing an.impenetra- ble vell over its actions towards all Armenians. Nothing definite is ob- tainable in €onstantinople of the fate of this people out in the provinces but it is known that severe measures planned against the Armenians in the Ottoman ecapital were not carried out owing to objections of the German government. Concerning the Armenian affair, three separate notes were presented to tbe Ottoman government by the German ambassador ad_interum, Prince Ho henlohe-Langenburg. If the Associ- ated Press is rightly informed, these notes had no far-reaching effect, b cause under present conditions, the German government has been obliged to act rather gently. Turkey is still the ally of Germany, and the Armen- ians seem to have allenated the good- will of the German government and people to a conaid le extent by having_made open cause with the En- tente Powers. Many of them have joined the Russian forces near Van ang at Zeitoun and Dort Jul they re- volted against Turkish authority. The thrée notes referred to were but of- ficial incidents in weeks of endeavor to persuade the Turkish government to take a more reasonable and humane view of the Armenian affair. One of the notes drew attention to the great injustice of making all Armenians suf- fer for the acts of a few. The Turkish government, however, seems to have remained adamantine.

A other hand, have either refused to talk for fear of being also persecuted. or have assigned all responsibility to the Turks. A mass of irreconcilable statements has been the result, rang ing, on the part of the Turkish offi- clals, from the absurd claim that the Armenians were being well treated, to the assertions of Armenians that in Zeltoun, Dort Jul and other places 50,000 Armenians had been massacred. That the Turks have in many in- stances blen guilty of needless sev- erity, and In some cases have permit- ted barbarous acts of violence, in- cluding murder and rape, seems well established.
