In the last despatches however there appears to be an ad- mittance upon the part of the Turks that the British have made a gain, even though it is claimed that it was not commensurate with the cost. The British assertion is to the effect that the Turks have been completely hem- med in at Kut-el-Amara, but whether the success which they have gained is such as can be held remains to be seen. The tide of battle has ebbed and flowed 8o often in that quarter, and the Turks have shown the abil- ity to rally and bring up needed as- sistance so often, that some of the same characteristics must be display- ed by the British before the real re- sult of their advance can be accurate- ly measured.

It is entirely psoper that Secretary Lansing should send a warning to Cuba, at a time when it is threatened ‘with serious internal trouble, and ad- wvise that government and the people of that island against any action ‘which is likely to malke matters worse instead of better. From the steps which have been taken there it ap- Pears that it is in need of just such friendly advice and it has reason to expect that such would be given by this government. . Cuba is greatly excited over its re- cent presidential election, which though it was held in November has mever resulted in either of the presi. dential candidates recetving a major- ity of the electoral votes beyond dis- Ppute even though the matter has gone through the courts. It 1s because of new elections called for in two of the provinces where the election results were ' not accepted that the revolution was started. In- stead of endeavoring to have the mat- ter adjusted peacefully, through a properly conducted election, the effort has been made to influence it by force of arms, a move which it had been hoped that Cuba had outgrown. Cuba has apparently not had enough experience with revolutions to have the fact firmly impressed upon it that such does not contribute to the sta- Bility of a government, and it Is this ‘which was called to its attention by Lansing’s communication. It was an eleventh hour message of course and probably arrived too late 10 have any effect, but it was never- theless a proper move on the part of the state department of this govern- ment which is deeply interested in Cuba. PROCRASTINATION. HEverything is hustle and bustle Washington. Congress is confronted with the problem of making provision for getting this country in a proper state of defense in case the broken relations ' with Germany result in a declaration of war. It is dealing with large appropriation bills for the im- | provement of the army and the navy, for bettering the position of the United States through a large num- the seme kind of diplomacy that has featured his conduct since this gov- ernment recognized him as the head of the de facto government in Mexico. Carranza appears to have trouble enough of his own without endeavor- ing to step in and try to settle the greatest war that the world has ever known, but it is entirely probable that his effort is not altogether altruistic. It ie Carranza’s idea that the neu- tral nations should agree not to send anything in the way of supplies to any of the belligerents. That’ of course may seem logical on the surface, and entirely impartial, but it must be re- alized, it any thought is given to it that it would operate against only one side in the war. The entente powers have prevenpted the central powers from getting gnything of the kind from the neutrals, or at least have succeeded in stopping the most of its commerce although the neutrals had no objection to supplying them, so that if the neutrals were now to say that they would allow none of their £00ds to go to any of the bellizerents it would amount simply to cutting off the allied nations of the entente group. Such of course would be showing partiality instead of impartiality, and that would be most agreeable to Ger- many under the circumstances. It can even be looked upon as a move favorable to Germany asainst the United States in the present unsettled state of affalrs, a fact which Carran- za may or may not have taken into consideration. He makes a needless and bad break at a time when he has a chance to get greater help on this side of the water in the settlement of his own troubles. CITY GOVERNMENT. For several years now there has been a movement which has spread throughout the country in behalf of better government. It is a commend- able desire, but the effort has been directed chiefly towards the securing of better municipal government through the adoption of a new char- ter or the introduction of commissions or city managers. That there have been instances where such have re- sulted in marked improvement, and others where one or the other has at- tained signal success cannot be gain- said, but they were those where ex- traordinary conditions prevailed and which therefore called for extraordi- nary measures. There have been many cases where the change In the form §f govern- ment has failed to bring about any improvement, because with the change in the form there was no change in the character of the men who were selected to conduct it. The city of Lowell has recently decided against the commission form and the Lowell Courier-Citizen in commenting upon it says: “Let us cut out all this in- sanity about a new charter being a panacea for evils with which no char- ter, good or bad, has anything to do. The' trouble is perfectly clear—and it is not in_the charter, but in the elec- torate. You can never change an electorats by charter tinkering. All you can do is make things as easy and simple as possible—and then trust the dear people to have an occasional gleam of common sense.” This Lowell view applies to other communities as well as that. It is the officlals who are chosen to office and not the form of the charter which the room. “And after you have heard my tale see whether you don’t hand that chair! He's the son of a bus- friend of father's end he hails over to you whom you knew to have raised in a sno and accus- tomed to icicles hanging from his brows every day of his life? Wc t you say: ‘Here is a youth who is going to scorn pink teas, yawn at musicales and balk at dances, but one who will sigh with relief at outdoor sports.’” “F¥ou!” they shouted, “going In for outdoor sports!™ “But, hark!” she stemmed the tide of their mirth. “You haven't seen him came I thanked for my Junch. I was even glad that I had taken the money I in- tended to use for a mew party dress and invested in a sweater and cap and muffler and skates and things. “And, anvhow, I did need more out- door exercise. I always had intended taking it, but I never could find the time. I told him right away I was simply crazy over everything outdoors and he said ves, indeed; so was he. Then 1 explained the program I had laid out for him during his visit. T said I had cards ta the country club, where we could get tobagganing and skating and snowshoeing, and there always were the park lagoons, and 'wouldn't it be Jjolly! Again he said yes, indeed, and I concluded that I was some clever mind reader. “The first night in which I dragged him away from the dinner table to go skating it was near zero and the mere thought of going out congealed me to my toes! My teeth chattered while I clintbed into my things, but I met him in the hall with a bright and cherry smile and he, too, had a bright and cherry smile. We just kept on smil- ing at one another all the way out to the park and telling each other how e loved ekating and adored the crisp- ness of the air and how wonderful the | STORIES OF THE WAR Constantinople a Starving City. There has arrived in Holland a gen- tleman who holds a very responsible position “of a commercial and finan- clal character in one of the largest business houses in Constantinople. He brought with him the very latest im- pressions from that city, and the pic- ture he gives me is by no means a cheerful one. Were you to publish his name more than one head would come off in Constantinople, writes a corre- spondent from Amsterdam. I asked first for a general impres- sion of conditions _in Constanti- nople. He then gave me the following gloomy picture: “Constantinople is a starving city, where very certainly dozens of poor creatures perish every day, and where for a year and a half typhus, cholera, and plague have never been absent as epidemics. Constantinople is dirty, and over all hangs the terrifying spe:tre of famine which also threatens nearly all Turkey in Europe. “One sees Turkish soldiers, very bad- ly dressed, with worn-out boots, ramb- ling along the streeets with a dead- beat air. Turkish losses up to now have been very heavy. I heard several who are in a position to form a fairly accurate estimate put them at a mil- lion and a half men. ‘And what,” I asked, “Is the condi- tion of the more fortunate classes, and what is the feeling about thelr power to_continue to take part in the war?” The traveler replied. “That 1 cannot form any definite conclusion about, but it needs no gift of prophecy to say that from all ap- pearances and all that a member of the general public can hear the Turks are at the end of their resources. In any case, Turkey has certainly mobil- ized all she has to mobilize. Old and young men with one hand or one eye I have seen under military orders. En- vér Pasha has without warning swept into the military net every more or less able-bodied man and forced many thousands of women and children to work in_factories. “One has hardly set foot out of doors when one is surrounded, almost assailed and borne down, by an In- sistent mob of beggars, dirty and half perished with hunger. Bvery race of the Orient, every Balkan tribe is rep- is responsible for the mest of the trouble in city government, and the fault and the remedy in such cases of course lie with the people.

Dating his letter “Not far from Ver. dun, December 28, 1915, an ambu: lance driver writes to his mother in this country as follows: “Maybe you think that my head has ‘been turned by the glory and glamour of this war, etc. Let me tell you that although there is a lot of that rot in the newspapers, there is none in France. 1 have heard two bugles since I have been here and both those were warnings to the people that a bomb-dropping aeroplane was over- head.

Bverybody expects that the Army Di- vision to which we are attached will soon be sent into the hardest kind of fighting and we are getting into the best condition possible for it. So we are quiet now although still within hearing of the big guns. “The owner of this house is a Ilt- tle ‘stooped old French lady 75 years old. She has four sons now fighting and one dead. She also has five grandchildren fighting. She has sent her three granddaughters away so as to give the soldiers the comfort of the house. She not only gives her house but does everything to malte us com- fortable, making beds, drying shoes, etc., doing laundry and building fires. I believe that all she gets to eat is what is given her. And when you aek her why all this—“C'est pour patrie” (“It is for the native land” 2nd dismisses it with a gesture. And that is typical and not at al unusual. “We must put Germany down /where she will never be a men- ace.” That is not a bombastic slogan to hide a seMish policy. It is in the heart and soul of the French people. There is no hatred of the Germans as in England.

The honor and distinction attached to the position of judge of =a high court in this state has lured many men from lucrative practice and bril- liant prospects, but is it creditable to the state to make this honor and dis- tinction take the place of pecuniary reward to such an extent as it is now doing? Massachusetts, a state of similar conditions of our own, has paild its highest court judges a’ salary and al- lowance of $10,500 a year since 1911. In Connecticut a judge at seventy iz forced to retire by the constitution. He is now retired on less than half pay. The judges of the United States courts are permitted to retire at sev- enty years of age upon a pension of full pay for life. In Massachusetts the jdges of its high courts are per- mitted to retire at seventy with a pen- sion for life of three-fourths of their salary. Connecticut retires its judges at seventy on less than half pay, end also requires their services as state referees for life. The legislature should rectify these conditions this session—Bridgeport Standard. President George M.

Some of the political gossip which leaks out from Hartford has it that Edward T. Buckingham of Bridgeport, compnesation commissioner for Fair- field county, will not be reappointed for another term. We trust that this rumor isn't true, and in any case, are not much inclined to believe it. - The compensation _commissioners are not political appointees, but hold judicial positions. During their good behavier the tenure of their office should be continuous. The compensation law of the state of Connecticut is comparatively new and there are many important points in it which the commissioners have hadto unravel. Their interpretation of the law has been broad and fair, and they have been the means of pointing out from time to time whatever changes are necessary. Commissioner Buckingham has man- aged the affairs of the Fairfield coun- ty district most ably. It is the bus- iest district in the state and its labors have not been light. Commissioner Buckingham has brought to his task sound knowledge of the law, coupled Wwith the tact and understanding, aand the human touch which is so neces- sary in order that such a piece of so- cial legislation may be administered by justice, rather than by rote, and may become a living and beneficial en- actment, instead of a mere statute, perishing of dry rot.

AUSTRALIA'S PIONEERS. Exploration of, the Continent’s Interior a Record of Grim Disappointment. As a record of human endeavor the explorations of Australia constitute a chapter in history for which the United States has no parallel. The pioneers who crossed the Alleghenies found fertile country beyond; the trappers and traders on our northern boundaries were in country abundant- ly eupplied with food and water; the men who pushed their way acros the great plains had forage and water for their animals and wild game for them- selves. The forty-niners who crossed the deserts of Utah and Nevada were encouraged by the knowledge of Cali- fornia beyond. Only the Spanish ex- plorers from Mexico and ploneer trav- elers through the deserts of Arizona and Southern California can appreci- ate the suffering and understand the failure of the heroic Australian scouts, The center of the great continent, which their hopes had pictured as grass-covered plains, fertile valleys, lakes and’ timbered highlands, inter- spersed perhaps with arid_stretches, had turned out to be one of the most extensive deserts in the world, into Which streams rising near the coast ‘were lost in a sea of rock and sand, 1t is @s if the people of the United States should wake up some morning and find that all the 1and between the Allezhenies and the Sierra Nevadas had been converted into plains like the arid stretches of Utah. There are in Austraiia no Colorados or Columbias or Tennessees, trenching plateaus and crossing mountain chains, and no counterpart of the thousands of spring-fed brooks and streams issu- ing from lakes widely scattered over the country.

It drains five-sixths of New South Wales, more than one-half of Victoria, and nearly one-seventh of the entire Aus- tralian continent.

In the flood year of 1870 a steamer went beyond the Queensland border along a river 60 miles wide, and in 1890 steamers on the Darling between Wentworth and Burke “traveled for hours without seeing any land, and in one instance discharged cargo 25 miles from the ordinary channel of the river.” But a few ¥ (1902~ 303) the Darling ceas>d to flow for 11 months. During excep. years the bed of the Murray is partly dry and the waters near its mouth become too salt for stock. Curiously enough, the establishment of the first colony on the continent of Australia is an episode in the history of the United States. It was proposed by the British government to utilize the land as a home for the “loyalists” (tories) who found life in the Amer- ican colonies uncomfortable at the close of the Revolutionary war. They were to be supplied with land and money, and Malay slaves or English convicts were to be provided as labor- ers. Fear of the French fleet and the re- moval of many tories to Canada led to the abandonment of this scheme, but another uge for Botany bay was soon discovered. Place must be found for undesirable citizens who, before the Revolution, had been seni to America at the rate of one thousand a year, and New South Wales met the require- ments.
