First Move Was Won by Turkey, England Being Forced, to Use Her Own Language, to Take a Dinner of Crow. . 1 . :1 ' London, Nov. 29. English states- Great Britain would start trouble, it men believe that the triple alliance Is believed. Germany, Austria, and Italy that old enemy of Great Britain, has bo come a quadruple alliance by the addition of Turkey, and although foreign officers refuse officially 'o confirm the report, ' it Is current opinion today tbat the "quartet" Vlll throw Its weight against the partitioning of Persia, and the con summation of Russia's plan for a port on the Indian ocean. Turkey Is regarded as a catspaw of the alliance .which is hostile to British Interests in Africa and Asia. The Austro-German combination has guaranteed the . security of Turkey on the Russian and Bulgarian bor ders in return for a promise by the Ottoman empire to permit nothing injurious to Germun or Austrian in terests, and it la conoeded thai par tition of Persia would be of benefit to Russia and England, and there fore inversely adverse to the wel fare of the kaiser and the Austrian emperor. - "v.--. Turkey's first tnove was to con front England's marines with Turk ish troops on the Arabian-Persian border when England sought to pre vent the landing of .arrna la . Persia, for use against English troops seat to "ereseve' Oder." Her . second more ia now under way Uhe In crease of efficiency of the Turkish army through jthe expenditure of Austrian and German gold. Aft a London newspaper remarks: "Within a year or two the Turk ish army, inspired by the "counsel and special policies of Berlin and Vienna, will be able to station 100, 000 splendid soldiers within a few marches of Alexandria and Cairo. That will be a fact which will alter comparative values between Salon ika and Calcutta." Mun( Not Crow Over It, Berlin,' Nov. 29. German offi cials, it was learned today, sternly rebuked certain subordinates of the chancellor's office because they gave out Interviews In which Germany l. placed In tbe position of exulting over th defeat of Great Britain's plans In the near East for the parti tion of Persia. That Germany has frightened England out of the move Is private ly admitted but tbe eGrman officials fear to "rub it in" because of tbe belief that the check Interposed Is only temporary. The temper of the small margin of the required Increase English public Is none too sweet at ' to entitle tbe state to another rupre the present time, and any general sentatlve in congress under the pres discussion of a "back down" by ent apportionment. THE STATE OF CHIHUAHUA A HOT BED OF REVOLUTION cnitbo racss IUUD W1BS.I El Paso, Tex., Nov. 29. Practi cally tbe entire country west of Chi huahua Is in a state of revolt against the Mexican government, according to travelers arriving here today. "Hell has broken loose In the state of Chihuahua," said one re turned American. "Every man, woman and boy from Temosachio to Chihuahua Is armed. The govern ment has no Idea how strong the rebels are and It will require 2,000 troops SO days to clean the Insur gents out of Chihuahua." - When they left Chihuahua City yesterday the travelers said the places, of amusement and saloons were closed and troops guarded tin city. The editor of El Correo was Jailed for printing the facts about an engagement In which the fedora' That tbe Britten and Russians in tended consummuUfce their long contemplated Persian grab within the next few weeks' Was made clear when, a short time ago, the London foreign office warned the Teheran government of its intention to occu py Souther Persia Inside of three months unless the Persians restored order there. As the English had, been stirring up the trouble In Southern Persia and the Russians In Northern Per sia there was no misunderstanding of Great Britain's Intentions. The English landed ..marltuie.,at Llfigah and Brig,' and in a. battle some af the marines were' wounded. Persia appealed to Germany, and It Is no secret that the kaiser's ministers expostulated with Eng gland. Turkey massed troops on the Persian frontier, and menaced the English force. Although Turkey 1 no match for England, the British could not iwoblllze any great1. toiue In Southern Turkey except at great expense and risk. In the meantime Germany was making secret threats. . The result was that- tbe English war pfflce announced that' the Brlt lsh force had been withdrawn and tbe English, in their own words, were forced to "eat crow." Nearly everyone here regards tbe Incident as merely a temporary set back for the Russian-English com bination, but German exultation lies In the fact that It revealed Germany as holding the upper hand.

The money would come first trom the manufac turers, though ultimately the con sumer would doubtless be called up on to pay. The manufacturer Is unwilling that the Increase should obtain. The result Is that two great business forces the manu facturing interests and the railroad are fighting against each other, and their allied forces In the street are feeling the effect of the fight. That Is the way the follower of tho doings of the street view the situa tion. Wall street Itself Is Inclined to ac cept as true the statement of James J..
