<V *" -
Another extensive addition to
the maps oi the wax will
probably birq tq be made soon.
This us* It may be carried into
Asia, at the qnd of that conti
nent opposite the German naval
P<*t la China which is being be
i>r Japan.
Thj genera.1. belief of neutral
diploma^ l« that th<j Turkish gov
ernment Im about to CAks great
chancy by joining Germany and
Austria-Hungary. and her action
yesterday in declaring neutrality wil
not be taken seriously except by
a very small percentage of those who
Are in a position to be acquainted
With the present trend of Euro
peaji affairs. The feeling prevails
that if Turkey should Join forces
with Germany, and Austria-Hungary
it will b« signal for Bulgaria and
Rumania to follow the Ottoman Km
Pire into the alliance. Greece will
certainly join Great Britain, France
and Russia if the Sultan takes sides
with Germany.
The addition of these f°ur states
to the powers already at war would
extend the theater of the vast
sniggle so that it would include
the entire Balkan peninsula and
the wide regions in Asia which are
under the Turkish government.
About 55,000,000 more people
would be covered by the flags of
the nations involved. Egypt would
be Included. It is still nominally
Turkish territory.
The expected action on the part
of the Turks would be extremely
interesting both in its immediate
elfect« and ia \fa final changes. It
might easily involve the expulsion
of the Turks from Europe and the
loss of Constantinople to the
Moslem world, at least.
For tha present, the German
Austro-Hungarlan alliance ought
to gaia Important advantages if
Turkey, Bulgaria and Rumania
Join the forces of the Kaiser and
the Emperor-King. They will
many times outweigh the fighting
Btrength of Greece. Yet the Turks
would quickly suffer serious losses.
They could be driven out of Ara
bia by a revolt aided by British
troops from India. Egypt would
of course, cease to be a tributary
state. Russia would attack Tur
key in Armenia where the popula
tion la hostile to the Sultan's gov
ernment. a naval attack on Con
stantinople, supported by Russian
troops from the Black Sea ports
would quickly put the Turkish
capital in peril.
No one could be sure how long
or how far the Bulgars and their
hereditary foes, the Turks, could
Tight ob the same side or agree
about anything. it would be
futile to attempt to forecast the
complications among the Balkan
sutes. But if Bulgaria fought
■Id# Sy tide with the Turks, even
tor a few weeks against Greece
the position of that little kingdom
would be desperate. Servia could
aot come to her relief, in the face
of the Austrian armies still close
to the Servian frontier.
There has been talk of the quick
ending of the vast conflict, but as
yet Its tendency is to spread far
Mid fast. Turkey, Greece, Bulga
ria and Rumania are much more
likely to become inTOlved within
a fortnight than any country al
ready taking part in the struggle
Is to Intimate the slightest thought
of withdrawal. If four more
nations, including Turkey, plunge
into the whirlpool of death and
destruction It will be very diffi
cult for Italy to keep aloof to the
end
And the end may be a year or
more distant.
Of 540 houses in a Belgian, town,
Only nineteen are left standing.
And this Is mentioned in the dis
patches merely as a feat of marks- |
maasliip!
Should, the war deprive Boston
of grand opera, the Back Bay set
might fill the social gap by giv
ing codfish balls.
Ellis Island should be en
larged during this dull season
In preparation for the rush when
the war is over.
It necessary, Minister Whit
lock's protest against Germany'a
use of Zeppelins can be explained
on grounds of inexperience.
Inferentially, France would have
no objection if the United States
bought a whole fleet of merchant
vessels from Switzerland.
That hlgh-pTiced steamer that
came across with half her cabins
empty is doubless a long, low
b'ing, rakish craft.

Plenty of evidence of their worth.
Airs. M. E. Cook, State St., Sed
ro Woolley, Wash., says: "1 strain
ed my back while lifting and it was
lame and weak for a long time. I
had sharp shooting pains in my
back, and if I stooped it was hard
for me to straighten. It was also
hard for me to get up from a chair
I was bothered with too frequent
passages of the kidney secretions
at times, then again they didn't
pass often enough. I doctored, but
got no better, and finally I decid
ed *o try Doan's Kidney Pills. After
I had taken a few doses, I found
they were helping me and I contin
ued using them until I was fixed «P
in good shape."

simply ask for a. kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Cook had. Foster-Milburn
