EASILY SATISFIED
The DaiJy Empire of Juneau in
its issue of November 4th says:
"Members of the democratic or
ganization in, Juneau are congratu
lating themselves that the capital
city was saved from the wreck and
that Sulzer was given a substan
tia} plurality which, made hU elec
tion possible. They also point with
pride to the fact that two of their
candidates for the bouse of rep
resentatives carried th<j town."
,We can understand the jubilation
of the Empire over the election of
JJr. Sulzer, but why the ecstacy
over the fact that two of the demo
cratic candidates for representative
received a few more votes in the
capital city, than did the two lowest
on the non-partisan ticket? The at
titude of the Daily Empire, how
ever, throws additional liglit upon
the cause for Lazarus' gratitude to
Dives, which has heretofore been
somewhat obscure in our mind.
THE WAR WIDENING
The widening ot the war which
Already involves more than
half of the population of the earth
"ill not stop with the addition of
Turkey to Russia's foes, says the
Cleveland Leader. It is im
possible to limit the spread of hos
tilities at any sucn. point.
tVreat Britain and France will
certainly be dr^wn into the war
against the Ottoman Empire. It
is not merely that they are allies of
Russia and bound to stand by the
Czar against his latest euemy, but
that Oermanv, the backer and
guide of Turkey ju this movement
upon which the fate of the Turkish
•Empire is staked, is more de
sirous of striding Eugland than of
vv^nlf^ninp- "Rusain.
There would be much less inter
est in Berliu in the action of the
Turkish Sultan it it were not for
the possibility of compelling Great
Britain to use for the defense of
Egypt troops that might otherwise
be added to the armies of the allies
in France. Germany h:is cherished
a hope, all along, that trouble for
England might be stirred up in
British India, and the Sultan, as the
head of the largest Moslem sect,
may be expected to help arouse
hiiliau .Mohammedans.
The Turks evidently have no
doubt that they are to fight all of
the powers allied with Russia in
'he great war. They have begun
by attacking a French ship in the
harbor of Odessa, as well as Rus
sian vessels. Th«»r ■will make war
upou servia, as a matter of course.
With Servia they will surely have
to fight Greece and probably Ru
mania. It is possible that Bulga
ria also will yield to the old re
ligious and racial feeling against
the Ottoman Empire and make
common cause wiih the Sultan's
foes. if that happens the allies
will gain more thai- they will lose
and the downfall of the Turkish
Empire will be swift and sure.
Italy will be sorely tempted now
to join the league against Ger
many, Austria-Hungary and Turkey.
It may seem a necessary step in
order to protect Italian interests in
the final division of the Balkan
peninsula, and it will be evident to
Italian statesmen that Tripoli
could not be held without great
cost and difficulty if the Ttfrks were
able to seize Egypt aud open a land
route to the newly acquired Italian
territory in northern Africa.
The one certainty in the action
of the Turkish government is the
Immediate widening of the war
and it may draw not less than four
more countries into the conflict.
The Turks -will be able to furnish
several hundred thousand soldiers,
brave and hardy men, patient un
der privations and able to march
and fight on scanty rations. But
the Turkish Empire is filled with
discordant and uneasy elements.
The Armenians in Asia Minor, the
Syrian Christians, the Greeks in
the districts east of the Agean
[ Sea, thg Arabs la the wide strip of
I Arabia along the east shore of the
Red Sea which is Turkish territory,
and the Bulgars and Greeks iu
what remains of European Turkey
are all 'restive and more or less dis
loyal.
The military strength. of tlie Ot
toman Empire lies in about 11,000,
000 Moslems in Asia, and the gov
ernment is always poor, always
liard pressed to equip and maintain
an army in the field, and always
sorely in need of the revenue ob
tained by taxing commerce at
Turkish ports which will bo closed
immediately by British, French and
Russian ships—the latter provid
ed that the Czar's fleet in the Black
Sea shall prove more than a match
for the Turkish navy, 'U best ship
being the German battle iruiser
Goeben, with her great speed and
her German officers and crew. The
Breslau, another German cruiser,
of a much lighter type but extreme
ly fast and efficient, will give a
good account of herself, because
Germans man the ship.
In a very short time the already
vast theater of war will be enlarged
| by fighting ia Armenia, near the
eastern end of the Black Sea, by
battles in or near Egypt, by Brit
| ish. attacks upon Turkish ports on
the Persiaa Gulf, and probably by
savage fighting iu the Balkans. The
Greeks are likely to attack Turk;
ish cities ia Asia Minor, as well
as Turkish islands iu the Aegean
Sea. if Russia v. ins the naval
struggle for the control of the
Black Sea an attack by sea aud
land upoa Constantinople may
come within a few weeks.
The Sultan and his advisers are
Playing a desperately hazardous
game. if they loso their empire
will be wrecked and the Turks will
be driven out of Europe at last.
