Amer-f \ an ra’-i)alists v.-ere almost as eager and ready to help as American mis- .sionarieir> hav(' litnni. With some ex ceptions. they have all, missionaries and cai'ita'ists alike, been suspected and discouraged. The missionaries could not be turned away, they were too stron.gly esftablislied; they were en dured. and some crumbs were even giv'- en lo them: but the capitalists '.vere all suspected as enemies, and got no encouragement or oi>ening that could possibly be refured to them. Hence ll’.e resuU—the failure of that most interesting and at one time most promising movoinent, the rising of tlie ’loiing Turks. Hence, also, the coming 'orcrtk-uit to Turkey and the delimina- tion of spheres of influence which will gradually take place. It has seemed plain to me for years and has been pointed out by me fre- ciucnily in journals and books, that the ai mof Germany ha's long been tt) "run” Asiatic Turkey as England managed ligypt under Lord Cromer (though she has now almost ceased to aim at doing so). It is a big purpose, l»y no means easy to achieve. The 'I'urks still pos.ses& a great reserve of patient, stitbborn persistence and en durance, ^^■hich moans, and is, jiower.

For a time it almost seemed that the Young Turks might achieve the combinations. So long as there was a possibility of Young Turk success, Germany aimed at, and succeeded in, making herself a favored Power. I have never doubted that German counsel quietly and secretly contribut ed materially to the success of the Young Turk march on Constantinople and the second revolution In April 1909; whereas English statesmanship was managed as to produce the im pression on Turks and on people of mahy other nationalities in Constanti nople that we desired to see the fail ure of the Young Turks; and that im pression still remains strong in spite of dicclaimers and professions. The l)ermanent success of the Young Turks would have prevented the re alisation of the German purpose to manage and control Asiatic Turkey. Germanophobes will soon begin to de clare that Germany forsaw the falure of the Young Turks, and consealed htem with the intention of ensuring their falure. For my own part I am simple and credulous enough to be lieve that Germany was perfectly ready to wait, and to let the Young Turks have a fair chance of success, and to aid them so long as they had any chaHce, only aiming at‘being re* cognished by them as their friend (as she really was). Now, when it has become clear that they cannot succeed, Germany is pro ceeding to develop her plans regard less of Turkish feelings. There will doubtless- be, and have probably al ready been, diplomatic explanations that the making of Russo-German ar rangement regarding futurerailways in Turkey wiihoni so much as saying lo the Turks. "By your leave, meant no discourtesy to Turkey, and implied no disimitation of "sphere of influence;” but facts are clear, and the Turks know wha! has happened. It has at last been shown them that Germany is their part heir, heir over all the districts controlled by the Anatolian, Angora, and Bagdad railways, leav ing to Russian influence and inheri- northest and east of thos-e districts. Jance all Turkish territory to the He who owns the railways controls the regions served by them. That is an elementary principle of modern social developnienr. The present possess\or docs not, at Jeast in v.ie Orient, love lUH heir; it has been the rule in Asia and Turkey that the Sovereign hates and tears his heir. 'I'he new Russo-German agrement seems in essence to be the same as what v.a.s long ago agreed upon. When :.Le German railway was reaching Angora, aboui 1S95, Russia claimed the right to control railway develop ment further eaost in that direction. Germany yielded to this claim and t.aught a new line ot development oy way of ivonia and Adam, which ha.s been in process of construction by stages ever since. The new agreement ratified the old one; but it is mortify ing to the present Turkish govern-, nient to find that it has made no pro- ress towards being cons-ulted or lium- ored in the matter, but is simuly set aside as of no account. Abdul-irlamid had some part to play in the old bar gain, but ihe Young Turks played no part in the new ratification of that old bargain. The impression produced on the i'urks in Constantinople—the res-i do not count—by this agreement has therefore been very deep, however it may be minimised by the Turkish i>ress, which is strongly Germanophile. The impression w'as intensified by the contrary tide of previous feeling. Eng land V/3S ai heart loved by the TurR- ’sh people as their friend and as the enemy of Russia and helper of Turk ey against Russia. The press of Con stantinople has for a good while been dinning into the popular ear that the entente between Russia and England v.’as a clear proof that pjngiand had abandoned Turke> and joined the ene my of Turkey. The Anglo-Russian agreement as to sphere of influence in l^crsia was declared to prove the change in English policy, and to be a stop towards the occupation and par tition of eastern Turkish territory ad joining Persia, viz., Mesojiotama.. Then came the question of the loan. When France refused to grant the loan to Turkey, it -was a matter of public knowledge that an English financial company was ready to give it and was forbidden by our foreign o ce to do so. i. e., was advised not to do so. Out siders don’t know the exact form of the prohibition, but ail the world knows the e?-.sential facts. Then Germany made the loan, and was hailed as the only fr, inf’KTceourdy only friend of Turkey against the An- glo-Franco-Russian entente, which was bent on dividing up 'l'n.ri:ey as it had done Persia. In all this there is the inidevlying and certain fact that England claims to control the Persian Gulf, and that much of the Gulf coast belongs to Turkey. And now, after all this talk in the jiress and the society of Constantinople, it turns out t'nat the first overt step towards the divi sion of Eastei'n Turkey is made, not by th.e Anglo-Rus&ian ente nte, but by the Russo-German agreement. That is only the -'ftrst step, but others will be made as the time passes and mat ters ripen.

Washington, Feb. 13.—President Taft arrived at 8:4’, o’clock this morn ing from his speaking trip to Cojnm- hus, O., anil Springfield, 111.

Do you know what it is to lie awake'nighis, fidgety, restless, tossing about, counting 100 backwards, or sheep jumping over a fence, all in vain endeavor to‘lose your self in slnmber- land and get the rest which you so much need. Xo one, unless they have been trou bled with insomnia, can begin to real ize it's horrors and how wearing it is. In nine cases out of ten it is sim ply a case of overworked nerves or derangement of the digestive system. Thousands of suo'i cases are being cured by Vinol. As proof we quote from a letter recently received from Marion, Ind. “I could not sleep nights, was run down, nervous, had not appetite and was all discouraged. Vinal made me well after all other remedies had failed. I sleep splendidly, and have gained in strength." Mrs. L. E. ?Iein- lein. (We guarantee this testimonial to ’■'e genuine.) We ask every person who suffers from sleeplessness or who is nervous or run-down to try a bottle of Vinol with the understanding that their money will be returned if it does not help them. Vinal contains no drugs or oil, and agrees with every one. R. H. Jordan & Co., Druggists. Charlotte. mmm iii3 Washington, Feb. 11.—Col. George \V. Goethals, chief engineer of the Panama canal, said today the canal would be corai)leted by September, 1918, at a cost of $300,000,000. This is tv.o years ahead of all ear lier estimates for comi)letion of the canal, and fu]Iy $30,000 000 less than many engineers have figured as the total cost. Because of tbe early completion of the canal. Colonel Goethals urged the house committee on commerce to pre pare legislation on under which can be fixed shij)])ing tolls foi- iiassage of vessels through ti'e> warerv.ay. President Taft had made similar recommendations, and bills for this ])urpose have been presented by Sena tor Flint and Chairman Mann, of the house committee ,each of which gives the ))resident authority to fix or des ignate some one else to fix toll rates within a maximum and minimum charge. Colonel Goethals could not say what v.'ould be a fair charge, but thought $1 per net ton of a vessel would be a heavy tax on vessels using the canal, but would give the trans-continental railroads competition on freight from Xew York and San Francisco. Plans are on foot to turn the hall of the house of representatives over to Colonel Goethals Monday night, that he may give an illustrated lant ern slide lecture on the canal, the progress of the work, condition of ihe workmen, character of the work and descriptive scenery in and about the canal. It is suggested such a lecture would facilitate canal legislation. The cost of the canal, the machine shops at Balboa, the Pacific terminal, the coaling stations at Colon, the At lantic and Pacific terminals and other supply stations are all included in Colonel Goethals estimate of $360,000.- 000 for the entire cost of the great waterway. He also believes it will be possible to build a dry dock within the estimated limit of cost of the canal. It is essential. Colonel Goethals holds, that the government control the coal supply stations so as to prevent private interests, by monopolization of this supply, indirectly to control the operation of the canal through their rates for fuel. Negotiations are already under way by certain coal companies, he said, looking to the ac quirement of land for coal docks. Colonel Goethals also urged the necessity of the present congress fix ing the tolls on the ground that the world’s shipping interests demanded at least eighteen months’ notice of the rates. The international navigation congress, v.hlch meets in London in June for the purpose of re-adjusting world rates, will probably take up the question of the canal, and Goethals ATTACK LiKE TIGERS In fighting to keep tne blood pure the white corpuscles 'attack disease germs like tigers. But often germs j multiply so fast the little fii^hters are : overcome. Then see pimples, boils, ec- j zema, salt-rheum and sores multiply and strength and appetite fail.

In ad(iition a number of baracks captains, v.’ho are charged witli the ac tual buying of the votes of the old soldiers and with voting Some of them illegally have been summoned before the grand jury. There is a persistent report that the grand jury has mailed a request to Speaker Cannon at Washington to re turn and appear before the grand jury.

He says it is one of the 12 known languages using gen der in the verb—that is, the same ac tion by a m.ale and a female is desig nated by a different term. This peculiarity is shared by cer tain inhabitants of northern Asia, those of a small section of southern Asia and by the Kaffirs of South Af rica. ‘ 00 HOUiVTxioaa cnaijcrvTia •gjoqi^oui joj. :^ooq joj •S3.T01S Swxp ioj. sx ©OTDipaui sjqi *poniijei»joui jo jnoq eiii, Jojp Tzoxi’Tpaoo pio;sy£ti(I j»ti SuTiisdeid ‘pnouj.
