RUSSIA; TURKEY; CENTRAL Asia; ENGLAND

This article focuses on the developments in various parts of the world. The base uses to which party managers are capable of putting culture, when they get a secure hold of it, is well illustrated by Mr. Cabot Lodge's article in the volume issued for campaign purposes under the title, "The Republican Party-Its History and Policies." The contrast between Russia and Turkey in their railroad policy is strongly marked. While Turkey controls fertile districts in which there seems to be a fair prospect of profitable traffic, no effort is made to develop them. Russia, on the contrary, is rapidly reaching out into Central Asia, and is coming dangerously near the Indian frontier of England.
