PRESIDENT AND THE pLuNeER.

The Presidential order which takes
the submarine boat Pllngcr to Oyster
Bay has caused good deal of spccllla-
ton. According To New York dis
patch the general impression there is
that Mr.. Roosevelt would like very
much 10 take trip in submarine
II he were not President and wants
to see anyway what this crack lIont
can do. Three years ago he went To
Annapolis fully expecting to 80 down
i'll the holland. but was persuaded not
10 do so by certain members Of the
cabinet who had accompanied him. On
this particular occasion the President
Is reported 10 have turned on his heel
rather sharply and remarked that
some day he would have chance.
The Plungcr was in drydock when
the order was received. She was i'm
mediately hustled out and gangs o.
workmen of all classes put to work IN
her. working night and day, putting
her in thorough condition
Lieutenant Nelson is In command
Of the Plungcr. lie will be accom-
panied To Oyster bay by Lieutenant
Shapely. of the submarine boat Por-
poise. Both these officers say they
would be glad il the President would
take dive with them, but they fear
they will have no such luck Under
present conditions the general public
Will sincerely hope that their desires
Will not be carried out.
There Is one explanation of the
Presidents order which seems to have.
been overlooked There Is n subma-
rine scandal in the navy. An appro
priation was made by Congress to test
rival types Of boats, but bureau
Chiefs without giving one inventor a
square dear signed contracts for n
type of boat which thus far has provcn
more destructive to its own crew than
10 the enemy. It may be that the
President wants to see the piungcr
i'll active service in order to gel n
line on whether or not the trail Of graft
leads up TO the proceedings which
sent an American inventor tO foreign
nations with what looks like the best
type of submarine now on the market

THAT STANDARDIZATION DISPUTE
Point Reached with Turkey Where
Something Will Have to Give Way.

Washington, Sept. H. Minister
Leishman's reports to the state depart,
ment indicate that the Turkish gov
eminent is disposed to maintain
strongly its position that the natural
lied Armenian who has been SEN
fenced to death for murder at SIAM
boul shall be treated as a Turkish sub
ject and cannot be allowed the priv
ileges of United States citizen. The
minister is continuing his. efforts in
behalf of Vartanian. The Turkish gov
eminent has so far not formally pro-
posed the settlement of this issue by
arbitration, and it appears that Leish-
man would be obliged to decline any
such proposal.
The United States law as to citizen
ship is different from that of any of
the European countries, which almost
uniformly require that their assent
shall be secured to the naturalization
abroad of their subjects, SO that it
would probably be impossible to Sc
cure an arbitral court that would no
be obliged to hold that international
law was adverse to the position of
the United States.
