In Egypt England has been seeing for quite a long time the practical and favorable results of her success in founding the Arabian Caliphate. She hu now gained practically absolute lecurity for her ruie on the Nile, and she has even been able to remove troops and artillery from the Suez Canal to other fronts. Tha German dream of an offensive against Egypt vanished long ago; now even the lost trace of a Germn-Turki.h attempt against the canal has ceased, and the English troops have moved the scene of their operations to Southern Palestine.

But the hearts which beat today with high hopes fo the freedom of Great Arabia an autonomy for Syria under Franco English protection will flame with ne rapture, and In the Turkish capital all grades of society will realize til at Osmanic power is .n the decline. Meantime DJemal Pasha is still oc cupied In Syria raking in the prop erty of the murdered citizens an dividing it up imoni his minions, the least very often being given over t commissions consisting of individuals of extremely doubtful reputation When he Is not thus busily engaged he spends his time round the gree table playing poker. It is to be ar denily hoped that even this great or ganixer will soon be at the end of hi tether In Syria and have to leave tb country where he has kinired in roy ally for two years. Then, perhaps, the moment may come when rhino's are going so badly for the whole of Ttir key that IJemal will at last have th opportunity, in spite of the failure of his policy in Syria, of measuring hi military strength against his hated enemy Knver in Stamboul. That would be the beginning- of the last stage before the complete collapse of Turkey. Alliance Complete Mistake. There has been no lack of cross cur rents sgalnst the war policy of the young Turkish government. Ever since the entry of Turkey Into the war. there has been a deeply rooted and unshake able conviction among all kindn and conditions of men. even in the circles of the pashasfind the court the people or Turaey take too little Interest In politics sad are composed of far too heterogeneous elements for there to be anything In the nature of what we call publlc opinion" that Turkey's alli ance with the central powers was a complete mistake and that it can lead to no good, it is of course known that since the outbreak of war Turkey has not only been under martial law and a atate of siege, but that under the regime of a brutal military dictator ship, with its system of espionaire, per sonal liberty has been practically null and void. Any expressions of disap proval, therefore, or agitations against the "committee' are natnrally only pos sible In most Intimate circles, and that with all secrecy. Little or nothing of the true opinions of this or that per sonage ever trickles through to pub licity, and so it Is utterly impossible, except from quite detached symptoms, to get any proper idea of what are the real thoughts and feelings of those cul tured Turks who do not belong to the Ittihad" and have no part in their system of pillage and aKKi-andizement. In spite of the limited information available it will be worth while, I think, to go Into these counter-streams little more fully. In pretty well every grade of society and among all nationalities in Turkey, there is the conviction that the old Sultan Abdul- Hamid would never have committed the fateful error of declaring war against the entente and binding him self hand and foot to Germany. In the case of Turkey's remaining neutral, the entente had formally promised her ter ritorial integrity; Turkey refused. She felt herself driven to a war of preven tion, principally through fear of the power of Russia. The statements made by those who agreed with Enver and Pasha and pushed for the war. that Turkey in the case of non-participa tion would be completely thrown on the mercy of a victorious Russia and that Russia s true aim in the war was the Dardanelles and Constantinople, have never been authenticated. There are still Turks, anti-Russian Turks, who even admitted this possibility, and 3et believed the word of the entente at any rate of the western powers and trusted to England's throwing ber weight Into the scale aauinst Russia's plan of conquest, if Turkey remained neutraL They saw and still see no ne cessity for the Turkish aovernment to have entered on a war of prevention. Rasa la le Miauadersteed. Russia's aim was the straits and Con stantinople well and good. Rut Russia would by hook or crook have had to come ta a friendly agreement with Turkey and could not have simply broken a definite promise given by the combined entente to Turkey. It would have been quite different if Russia had demanded Constantinople from the western powers as the price of her par ticipation In the war tiKsinst Germany; then, but only then, thaentente would perhaps have had to come to sn agree ment satisfying Russia on this head. Hit Russia had quite other idss. nnd Ions before Turkey's entry into the war and without any prospects of get ting Constantinople, she flung hei whole weight against Germany and Austria right at the beginning of the war. The treaty with regard to Constan tinople between the western powers and Russia was not signed till six months after Turkey declared war, and England would certainly never have allowed Russia to encroach on a really neutral or sympathetically neutral Tur key. Then, but only then, there might have been some foundation in fact for the ideas one heard advanced by German-Turkish Illusionists who would still have liked to believe that there was continual dissension within the entente. even long after the official notification of the Anglo-Russian treatr with re gard to the straits, and by some even after the speech of the Russian Min ister. Trepoff. that the English occu pation of the islands at the entrance to the Dardanelles, which could be made into a second Gibraltar, aimed chiefly-- at blocking the straits and preventing Russia from gaining undis turbed possession of Constantinople. Specially optimistic people even look to that chimerical antagonism between Russia and England for the salvation of Turkey, should Germany be flnally overcome. Whether she liked It or. not. then. Russia would have had to come to a friendly agreement with Turkey, bad the latter remained neutral. In-order to gain the desired goal. And this goal would have been necessarily lim ited by the fact of Turkey's non-ntry on the enemy side, rather to the stop page of German Berlin-Baghdad . ef forts at expansion, the prevention of any strangulation of the enormous Russian trade in the south and des perate opposition to any atempt to keep Russia away from the Mediter ranean, than to an attack on Turkey and her vital interests. And who knows whether under such an agree ment, bound, as it was, to give Russia certain liberties and privileges in the straits, Turkey also might not have got much in exchange, at any rate' on financial lines, and might not also nave obtained permission at last to de velop Armenia by that west-to-east railway so long desired by the Turks and so strongly opposed by the Rus sians? Tarlc Stakes Kverythlaa. Would the terrible bloodshed in the present war, the complete economic exhaustion entailed and the risk of a doubtful outcome of the fight for ex istence or non-existence not have been far outweighed by the prospect. In the case of a friendly agreement with Rus sia, of seeing the orthodox cross again planted on the Ilagla Sophia, an In ternational regime established In Con stantinople with certain Russian priv ileges and the satisfaction of certain Russian moral demands, it is true, but otherwise nothing to disturb Turkish life in Stamboul or in any way preju dice Turkish prestige? Even the pros' pect of having to raze the forts on the straits to the ground in order to give free sccess from the Mediterranean, or the necessity of having to inaugurate moFe humane and beneficent policy Armenia, perhaps with European supervision over the carrying out of the reforms would surely bave been preferable to the present state of af fairs. These would all have insured for Turkey a long period of peace. capital m-ealth and intellectual and so cial improvement, perhaps at the ex pense of a momentary hurt to ber feclinirs but these had been far more severely wounded already, as, for ex ample, when she had to look on help lessly while bit after bit of her em pire waa torn from her. It would have been impossible for Russia to get more than this from Turkey had she remained neutraL Her sovereignty and territorial integrity would have been completely guaranteed. But Turkey thought she had to stake all. her whole existence, on one card, and she staked on the wrong one, as recognized now by thousands of In telligent Turks. Believers in the war policy followed by the government make themselves hoarse maintaining hat if Russia had not gradually over powered a neutral Turkey to win Con stantinople completely, at any rate the entente would have finally forced her to Join their side; in either case, therefore, war was inevitable. They point to Salonika, and. in face of all resson. maintain that the entente powers would in ail probability have reated Turkey exactly as they treated Greece. They forget that their geo graphical position is entirely different. nd would have a very different ef- ect on military tactics. If Turkey ad remained a sympathetic neutral, so would Bulgaria; or else the whole of he Balkan States, from Roumania and Rulgaria to Greece, would have Joined the entente right at the beginning. In ither case there would have been no ecessity at all for Turkey to Join, for what military obligations had she to ulfil? The entente would certainly ever have driven Turkey to fight sim ply to get the benefit of the Turkish soldiers available; there is no truth hatever In the statements circulated bout unscrupulous compulsion with this end In view. Turkey's Action Saves Hons. The benefit for the entente of Tur- ey s sympathetic neutrality would ave been so enormous that they ould most certainly have been con- ent with that. .Neither in Germany or In Turkey is there any doubt hatever in military circles that it as Turkey s entry into the war on he German side and her blocking of he straits, snd so preventing Russia from obtaining supplies of ammuni tion and other war material that has far saved the central powers. Had urkey remained neutral constant treams of ammunition would have poured into Russia, Mackensen's of fensive would have had no prospect at of success, and Germany would i "1. " ! 1 I I" .

The entente would certainly never have moved a finger to disturb Tur key's sympathetic, neutrality and drive her into war. There would have been tremendous material advantages for Turkey in such a neutrality. In stead of being impoverished, bankrupt, utterly exhausted, wholly lost, as she now Is, she might have been far richer than Roumania has ever been. There Is one thing quite certain, and that is that Abdul-Hamid would never have let this golden opportunity slide of having a stream of money pouring in on himself and his country. And cer tainly Turkey would not have lacked moral Justification had she so acted. (To be continued tomorrow.) PORTLAND MEN APPOINTED Applicants for Naval Academy Ap proved by Oregon Congressmen.
