NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL

Mr. Borden's Able Speech,

MINISTERS FAIL TO ANSWER OP- POSITION ARGUMENT.

The Yote on Tupper’s Amendment.

ee te

Orrawa, May 27.~—-When the House of Commons went into committee yesterday Mr. Borden, of Halifax, in a stroug and well reasoned epeech, replied to the start ling constitutional declarations made by Mr. Davies on the previous day. He showed that the Minister of Marine had got two things mixed. He pointed out that the bearing of the German treaty on Canada had been half a dozen times acknowledged by Mr. Davies himself and his leaders, and closed by asking where was the noble contribution which Mr. Fielding claimed to have made to the Em- pire. As much was given toa score of eountries,

No Minister rose to reply. Mr. Foster waited till the amendment was read from the chair. Then he asked whether the Ministers had nothing to say in reply to such an argumentas Mr. Borden bad pre- sented. Was there no member of the gev- ernment with an explanation to give? Had all been struck dumb that no infor- mation could be dragged from them as to the meaning of the clause which they asked the House to vote ou? Could they tell the House yet to what countries it ap- plied or on what basis they proposed to determine whethera country had a euffi- ciently low tariff to get entitled to these speciai privileges.

Mr. Foster failed to get any answer to his questions. Whether it was proposed to apply the comparison to the whole tariff of both countries or to that part which applied to goods interchanged. He assail- ed the Ministers strongly for taking powers which wonld enable them to make a com- mercial union treaty with the United States without any further permission than this bill afforded. Men in the Government seats would dearly love to go back to the commercial union platform in spite of their present loyal pretences.

After dinner the discussion continued and the amendment was losi by a vote of 42 to 74,

After the votes were taken there was a lively scene in which Mr. Foster and Lester figured. The latter had to with- draw an offensive remark,

THE GREECO-TURKISH WAR

The Truth Will be Known When Cor. respondents Return,

The London correspondent of the New York Sun savs: “The war correspondents are beginning to returs. Ove of them has just arrived. He was on the Turkish sice. Although he enjoyed the eccentricity of going to the war in a landau, the vehicle was seized by the geverment for an am- balance. He describes the trip as being the most interesting, hazardous and un- comfortable ia his varied experience, He says the truth concerning the Turkish part of the war will not be known until the correspondents leave the country. He aide: “The war was a small affair. If not an opera bonffe war, the Greeks have at least made it largely theatriial. The battle resulted in few prisoners. fewer wounded and still fewer killed. Ifthe Turks had permitted the correspundents to send the figures the trivial character of the war would long ago have been apparent.

The whole war has been used by Turkey

asa medium to assert a new position among the European nations. Long after it was apparent that the Greeks had no rand, Turkey continued to pour men int) Macedonia and Ths aly. Turkey haz seen little Greece success- fally defy the concert and wage war without permission, and she means to profit by the example. She feels her power and strength, and imagines that her former docility was a grand mistake. She means to hold eyery inch ot Greek territory gained in the war and intends to throw dewn the glove and challenge the powers to take it up.

This is the most serious situation Europe

has seen in nearly thirty years. It may pass off harmlessly if the timid sultan dismisses his present advisers, but it s ems to me that the temper of most of the men of the ruling class was altogether in sympathy with this newly developed spirit of independence and pugnacity on the part of their country. WOn every side Iheard Turkish officers boast that Turkey meant to keep the land bought with Turkish blood and those Kuropeans who hold relations with the Turkish government told me that Turkey has been crazed by the new power she feals thrilling her veins and means to assert a new relation toward the rest of Europe.

The Turkish army isthe most admirable peasantry I ever saw. The soldiers are the most docile, tractable and easily governed men imaginable. They are brave to the last degree, love to fight, are in- different to death and carry fearful wounds without a groan. It isa hal‘-clad, half fed army of calm but fanatical heroes.

But the Turkish side has its grave faults and these will be told when the correspon- dents escape the censor’s hands. Than we shall hear how the Turks disgraced the Greek dead on the tield of battle; how the Turkish government has emptied every captured Greek town of its valuables and how inhumaneven the patient Turkish private becomes when there is a chance to loot for himself.

I know that looting is persistently de- ined, yet I saw it with my owneyes. When C was at Larissa my servants and friends were continually buying loot of the soldiers, and I saw enough to believe that practical ly every soldier hid loot under his coat. An attempt was made to rob my own house, given me by Seyfullat Pasha. Two houses, one occupied by a fureign military attache and the other by @ correspondent were rob- bed while 1 was there. I saw with my own eyes miles of pack loade of the contents of houses of the captured towns and villages seized by the Turkish government. What the government left the soldiers tcok. I saw the Greek dead stripped of their trou- sers and turned face up,according to Turk- custom, to putthem to shame. The present denials, therefore, merely delay exposure.

He added, however, that when the rude character of Turkish soldiers and Turkish civilization are taken into account, it must be confessed that good conduct of troops was truly remarkable and Turkey showed herself extra desirious to get credit for good behaviour.”
