tiii: dari)Am;i.ij:s. The determined effort of the French end British ikets t for- ;i ju.-s;me of the Dardanelles. re-av.".ken.s interest in the question as to the impregnability of the ifiiis of t'onstaniinupie, the capital of the Turkish empire. rJ ie avt-Mt' man in r-.iiir.K of the attacks of t.ie French and British ar ships on "n.-t;intii:ojtl; is more or less hazy as to th relation of the Turkish ;q.it;il arui th I )arlan-!Ies, ii eiuently mentioned in conjunction in press disp.-u -iw-s. Tim distane from 'onstant inonie to tile Dardanelles, where tin- principal defenet-s of tiie Turkish capital lie is more thin miles. The Dardanelles is a narrow channel in the Turkish dominion which connects the inland sea of Marmora with tiie AKeari or Mediterranean a, iiiui separates Furpc from Asia. It is about i miles in length, and friVm me to four miles in width, its current wry rapid. Tiie European side is iteep and rued. the Asiatic side rising gradually, affordim; exceptional opportunity foi- defensive fortilica-tions-. Both sides are covered with a t Lain of forts reaching the entire length of the passage; to the .ea of Marmora, at the other end of which, 177 miles distant, lies Constantinople. In 17 70 the Turkish defences were almost in rains. Warned by the condition of the castles when a Russian s'juadron appeared before the Constantinople uuter fortifications, the Turks repaired them, but they wero aain allowed to become almost useless, until is u 7. In that year a British squadron of war ships passed the Dardanelles and, for the first time, Constantinople saw a hostile Meet. The defenses were then rebuilt and in 1.1I, during the Crimean war, the castles and other defenses of the capital were placed in a state of good lepair. In 1S"7 coast batteries of the best known kind were erected on both sides of the passage, and, just Ire fore the outbreak of the present European war they were supplied with ordnance of the most recent and effective type, the Kropp pattern from Germany. By a treaty signed in 1M1 between the lie great powers of Eiirope and the porte. and confirmed in 1 J t . no foreign ship of war had the right to pass the Dardanelles without the conseat of the sultan. By the Berlin treaty of 17 S. tin- duty of preventing any foreign ship of war from forcing a passage was imposed upon the sultan and even he cannot give such permission. It has been a mooted question, for many years, if the passage of the Dardanelles, villi its modern equipment, could tie forced. The battleship generally has ;u advantage over land fortifications, where the ranuc of the guns of both aiai equal, by reason of the fact that it is a moving target, while the lort is a fixed one. At the Dardanelles the enemy's fitct, once past the forts at the outer -di;e of the passage, would thereafter. be in point blank range of the other batteries, ami the advantage of mobility would be lost. In the opinion of experts, while extremely difficult and hazardous, the passage can be accomplished by the allied fleets. The personal (dement enters here. The French and Bullish gunners are far superior to the Turks. een when the latter are commanded by German officers, as they are said to bo at present. Once, through 1 1 1 Dardanelles, there would, remain nothing to oppose the allied Hot t until 'onstant hiople itself was reached. The Turkish capital city is also strongly fortified; in fact, though, no city in the world has been subjected, to such numerous ami celebrated sieges, it ha. only fallen twice, the last time in 1 -', when it was captured by the Turks under Mohammed II. However, it is provable that the htme hattenv, of the British nay, could, with ample fr e-way in the Sea of Marmora, reduce the forts of the city tn time. The real diftio'ilty is in tlu- Durdal!es By taking a map -t Furope and Asia the reader t an s e at a glance why Russia welcoim s the adwnt o the Turk into the war. At present Russia has not one single port w hich is ice free the e:tne yar. A ictory for the triple enter.', would mean the banishment of Turkey from Furope, an open har!"r and complete control of the Black 5 a. tor Russia, and an i (id door for Russia";; enormous pr'ductions. That is what the Dardanelbs bars the road to. A NON-PARIISAN dl DK I RV. The hou-- j-huhl p.i.s- the -uutc 'ill fr the ib-!ioil f judi:- on u t on-pai tiun b. illnt. S n.

PRINTING COMPANY. .South Bend, Indiana h Postofflco at South Bend, Indiana should be Wt in any attitude to particularly partisan sourc?s. So far as application to men is conterned we do not know of any particular instances where judges have shown favoritism to those of their own political faith. We have heard of them, but have not witnessed tha m. It may be that the source of cmnplaint was more that of political opposition than in reality, but why not avoid the excuse for such partisan opposition ".' Criticism of tne judieiary, justified or not, is what is bringing the judiciary into disrepute, and there is no question but Miat such a disrepute is growing with the general public. The Ballon bill is well calculated to remove the excuse for such criticism when mere partisan rancor inspires it, and besides, fundamentally, the judiciary is presumed to be free from partisan prejudice such as a non-partisan f lection might tend to overcome. A non-partisan V cneh chosen from the whole people without regard to partisan affiliation would be responsible to the whole people. The present partisan bench is presumably so, yet, with reelection frequently an incentive, it is only human nature that a judge should also regard to some extent, his partisan responsibilities. And judges are merely human. While in the main we anticipate that after the judicial temperament has really begun to develop, it assumes supremacy over the ordinary impulses and prejudices, it does not take many exceptions to work a lot of injustice and cast a shadow of partiality over the bench in general. For the welfare and dignity of the bench, as well as for the well-being of the people, and in the interests of justice to all litigants, therefore, it occurs to us that it would be wise for the house to concur in this measure which is in perfect keeping with the spirit of the age. wni:m; womfn voti-:. The favorite argument against woman suffrage lies in the assertion that the women do not want to vote. The Chicago primaries furnish a dec isiv e answer. Bet those anti-suffragists who say they oppose women voting because women do not wish to vote, read the story of the Chicago primaries and then forever hold their peace. Chicago women voted as though they wish to vote. Moreover, the woman vote beat Carter Harrison out of the nomination for mayor. The total registration in Chic 'go was about 600,000, of which re than one-third were women. A, out half the registered vote was polled, and a greater proportion of registered women voted at the primaries than legistered men, showing clearly that in Chicago at least there are more men who do not vote than there arc women. Chicago is one of the greatest and most truly typical of communities in this country. Chicago men and Chicago women .are fairly typical of the men and women of the whole United States. In the light of the Chicago vote, it must be conceded on all sides that some better argument must be produced against woman suffrage. It never was a sound argument. If women did not want to vote, then extension to them of the privilege to do so could do no harm. A V STRIA'S ZONE. Austria has declared her intention of establishing a war zone in the Adriatic similar to that of Germany in Fritih and French waters and has ordered its fleet to sink every merchant vessel found in the Adriatic sea. It is difficult to see what Austria expects to gain by this step for none of the countries with which it is at present at war have a port on the A driatic. With the popular sentiment in Italy so strongly in favor of participation on the side of the triple entente, it would seem to be a move well calculated to provoke that country to action. The sinking ot an Italian vessel, the loss of Italian lives, as is almost inevitable if the policy 'is pursued, w ould be the last straw to the Italian people even now clamoring f.r intervention so strotgly as to threaten a revolution if their wish be denied. An 1 Italy has a well-trained, wellequip ed army right now. that would ! a very potent factor in the final result of the war. At best the step seems ill advised. As women are urged t save mory by doing their own marketing, some housewives are now telephoning down to the provision store instead of letting the servant do it. .Many hungry people who are out of work are appealing for help, to w hieh the response consists mainly of I'Hu iuiis expressions of sympathy.

Statesmen Real and Near. . By Fred C. Kelly ' WASHINGTON-, March 2. For an example of resourcefulness one may well turn to the incident in which Mr. Fingy Connors-, well-known citizen of Buffalo, placed himself a while ago. Conners was in Washington at the time I'res't Wilson was going to read one of his addresses to congress, and there was a great demand for seats in the gallery. Admission was gained by special card only, and each congressman was allowed only one card. Conners went to Charlie Smith and Dan Driscoll, members of congress from his city, and asked them to provide him with a gallery seat. they Bach each knew They both explained how sorry were, but they couldn't do it. was allowed only one ticket and had given his away before lie Conners was in town. "Well, well." observed Conners, "you're a hulluva pair of congressmen if you can't even get a constituent into the gallery. I guess I'll have to get in then on my own hook." "Ah, but it can't be done," explained Driscoll and Smith. The rules are very strict, and if you tried to get in you would simply embarrass both the doorkeeper and yourself. Even Speaker Clark couldn't take you in. Fact is, there is a. limit on the seats provided for members of the president's own family." "That may all be true about the president ami Champ Clark," replied Conners, "but I'll bet you a pail of ink that I can get in." "How ?" chorused Smith and Driscoll. "Oh, I don't know exactly how yet. Some way that I'll think up. Just come with me and I'll show you." Panting with curiosity the two congressmen followed Conners up to the gallery lloor. He led the way to one of the less frequented doors, where he laid his hand on the shoulder of the doorkeeper in a fatherly manner and began to talk to him. "These gentlemen," said Conners, pointing to the congressmen, "are two constituents of mine who were a great help to me In my last campaign for congress, and I want them to have seats in the gallery." "Very sorry.'' congressman," answered the doorkeeper, embarrassed at being unable to call him by name, "but you know we're under strict orders today to let no one in except by ticket. I'd like to oblige you. sir, but I don't see how I can." "Well, if you can't, T suppose you can't," observed Fingy. "It's too bad, though, because I would like to ac commodate these boys. They awfully good fellows, and this is first favor they have asked of are the me since I entered congress." Then turning to Smith and Driscoll. he said: "You see just how it is. I'll have to see you downstairs later on. I want to step down into the gallery now for a minute and speak to Phil Hicks. Go over to my olfiee and make yourselves at home if you get tired.'.' And he walked on down to a vacant seat where he sat quite comfortably through the president's address. For years William Jennings Bryan has been a careless person in regard to his correspondence. His inclination is to keep no copy of a letter, but to dictate it. or write it out in long hand, and throw it into the mail, scarcely taking time even to read it over. His tendency is to follow the same system in the state department. Clerks about his offices have to hover about and watch him as a mother would a child, or he will seize a pen, hastily scratch off a state document and mail it to some ambassador with never a thought of preserving a copy for the department files. A while ago a clerk was obliged to dash up to one of the Washington embassies and copy off an important letter that Mr. Bryan had written without making any provision for preserving the contents of same to the department and to posterity.

Caroline's Court hotel, which 4 0 years ago was the center of many of Chicago's select social functions, will become a shelter for unemployed and homeless men. The famous hostelry is richly decorated in marble tiling and art work imported from France. Marble staircases, a rotunda with art glass windows, inlaid wood and art work in the ballroom still remain. The hotel has been given to the Christian Industrial league. A package done up in soiled cloth and bound with two garters and a shoestring was kicked about the street in front of the city hall in Springtield, Ore., for half a day and then lay for two days among the waste papers on the recorder's desk until it was claimed by Jules Roseau. Opening the taekage he displayed $..:0 in curicney and certificates of deposit, for $40 more and handed the finder $-5. A young Rritish officer in charge of a remote station in t'outh Africa received from his superior officer at the Iihh:, some time in August, this message: '"War has been declared. Arrest all enemy aliens in your district." Promptly the superior office received this reply: "Have arrested seven Germans, four Russians, two Frenchmen, live Italians, iwo Roumanirns and an American. Please say who we're at war with." .A strange discolored envelope arrived a few days ago at the homo of Miss E. Rudue of London. It was stamped "Recovered by divers from the wreck of the steamship Empiis of Ireland," and had come from the dead letter office at Otta.va. Po.-i.ed at New Glasgow, Nova ir.-otia. on May of last year, the letter had gone down with the big vessel in the 't.

The student gaily seeks the town The play, the cabaret, the dance; A clown, a gown, a penciled glance Allures him up the street, and down. The college halls look out and frown On factory heights in arrogance; The student gaily seeks the town, The play, the cabaret, the dance.

SOME people who take their troubles lightly get credit for fortitude when they are merely lacking in sensibility. THESE are the days of frost and sunshine, hard for us to draw the line, when the sap flows down and upward in the winter's slow decline. In the sugar camps they're tapping", tapping, tapping all the trees, and the blood life of the maple is exhausted to its lees. Round about the steaming kettles children gather with their spoons and as the syrup thickens all are eager for the boons of toothsome taffy, sweet and sticky, smearing all their faces o'er, and ever this their cry is, "Give me more" and "Give me more." Few and far the fires are burning, sparse and thin the groves have grown, what was common in our childhood Is fast becoming quite unknown. C. L. D. My Story Is Finished.

Printing Point Does ISfot Bob Up and Down

In an L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter the point on the paper which is to receive the type impression is stationary at the instant the type hits. The carriage does not bob up and down when the shift is made to write capitals. Why? Because the type is shifted not the carriage. The only movement of the carriage is back and forth on its closely adjusted ball bearing runways and this does not take place while the print is being made. There is no lifting of the carriage. This is one reason why L. C. Smith Bros, typewriting is free from blurs and every letter in the right place.
