did. but the states attorney would not
consent to have the case withdrawn.
The press and public were excluded
from the hearing.

To Protect Americans

Washington. April 2l-To afford all
protection possible to American citi.
zens and their interests in Turkey
the administration has decided to dis
patch special cruiser squadron to
that country.
This was decided upon by the cabi.
net last night. 1t was explained that
this action was not taken because OF

simply as precautionary measure. ii

MUCH SATISFACTION OVER

Announcement Of the Determination
to Send Cruisers to Near Eastern
Waters Causes Sense of Security
May be Needed Later.

Constantinople, April 21-The lines
of the investing army are drawing
closer and close. around the Turkish
capital today and the advance guard
of the Macedonians is practically at
the gates of the city. The actual ad-
vance into the city, however. has not
yet begun. Negotiations for a peace
full settlement are proceeding with
high hopes of success, and there are
increasing evidences that there will be
vestment and the First army corps
within Constantinople. The fears of
possible rioting. however. became
manifest today and as a result many
people are leaving the capital by any
and every means possible.
That the receipt of the news here
that American government had or
dered the cruiser Montana and North
Carolina to Alexandretta in Asiatic
Turkey for the protection Of the
Americans has brought satisfaction
is evident. A sense of security is felt
here and in the Syrian coast cities of
Mersina, Beirut and Alexandretta,
whittier the information has been for
warded. The trouble may be over
before the cruisers arrive. but there
is also chance that in two or three
weeks time civil war may be be-
ginning. in which event the vessels
would be invaluable for the protection
of Americans. Great Britain, France
and Italy already have warships on
this coast, while Germany is sending
vessels and in addition. all the great
powers maintain guardship at Con-
stantinople.
Everything is quiet at Yildiz pal
ace. The sultan is outwardly calm and
Is awaiting the developments with ap-
parent imperturbation. The civilians
and some of the foreigners today en-
press the fear that at the last moment
there may be resistance. or that some
of the soldiery will get out of hand
and as result general exodus has
begun. The immediate neighborhood
of Yildiz Kiosk is deserted. This ap-
prehension is added to by the fact that
the sultan has made no statement as
to his intentions.
Ten agitators, who We're caught

few days on similar charges.

The Twentieth Century.

When the last breath of the Nine
teenth Century was drawn nearly tel
years ago it was thought that its mar
velous record of industrial and scientific
achievement could never be equaled.
The tenor of comment suggested thu
brief eulogium which Hamlet pronounc
ed upon his father
Take him for all in all,
shall not look upon his like again. ,
The Twentieth Century was not borI
to great expectations. For what re.
manned to be accomplished? The steam.
boat-the electric light-the telephone
the telegraph-the sewing machine
the automobile-th had all been in
vented.
And, indeed, to human intelligence it
did look as if the resources of achieve
ment had been well-nigh exhausted.
But hidden in the CULVER Of the old
archer there were finer arrows than ever
left his bow.
Less than decade has elasped since
the latest and youngest of the centuries
was fiedged.
And what has the precious youngster
accomplished?
Wireless biography, of which the
Nineteenth Century gave us distinct
and frequent limitations, has been sue
cessfully achieved by the Italian wizard
-Marconi.
For it was not twelve months ago that
it plucked 800 passengers from the jaws
of death on the Atlantic.
And the advent of another epoch in
ocean travel was proclaimed
The crossing of the English Channel
by Bleriot, the midair carnival at
Rheims and the marvellous feats of avia-
ton performed by the Wright brothers
have added another vehicle to the cars
of modern commerce.
And if he argued that the navigation
of the ether is still fraught with peril it
must be remembered that the Twentieth
Century still has nine decades in which
to refine and perfect its products.
The experiments with radium have
given rise to the widest dreams on the
part of scientific thinkers.
And the doorway to undreamed of
possibilities has been opened by this new
magician among the elements.
Within the last few days the search
of the centuries has borne fruit in the

the earth s apex has been announced.
And when is the catalogue of wonders
to cease?
With the speed of thought we are
bounding from one splendid achieve
ment to another.
In the phrase of the day even the
most arrant skeptic must admit that the
Twentieth Century is making good.
1t even challenges comparison with
the Nineteenth-though less than one
tenth of the journey has been traversed.
AT the beginning of the last century
Fulton was navigating the water.
In the first decade of the Twentieth
Century Wilbur and Orville Wright are
navigating the ether.
One century presents the steamboat
the other contributes the airship.
What steam was to the Nineteenth
Century electricity will be to the Twen-
tieth.
If anesthesia put an end to the tor
ture of the knife, radium will yet check
the rayages of cancer.
And wonderful as the Nineteenth Cen
fury has been, it appears simply to have
iourneyed like the Queen of Sheba to

tieth the still greater glories of the court
of Solomon. Atlanta News.

question in connection with this contro-

could travel thirty-fve. One said a

other intimated that he wouldn't give a

said observations could easily be faxed,

TRY to Discredit Him.

Without Foundation.

Col. R. q. Taylor, of Trenton, was in
the city Tuesday, and it is stated that in
speaking of the story that was told here
that the grand jury for the special term
of the Circuit Court to be held here in
November to try the Nightrider cases,
would be asked to indict him for certain
discrepancies in his evidence before the
grand jury and the court on the former
trials of the Nightrider cases, says that
the story Is without foundation and false:
and that it could only have been started
and circulated to discredit him, and that
his evidence was the same in each case.
He said that he had asked the attorney
general if any person had suggested to
him that an attempt would be made to
indict him, and the attorney general
said that he was ignorant of the fact if
there was anything ON foot, but believed
that there was nothing in it.

to the Pole. He seems to think that al
the Esquimos and dogs in the Far Nortf
belonged to him; that nobody had !
right to fare forth in brave adventure
for top of the world but himself; and in
pursuance Of his virulent egoism he re-
fused to allow any of his white compan-
ions to accompany him because, as he
saws, he wanted all the glory himself.
Since his return he and his friends have
formed a conspiracy to destroy the rep
utation Of rival explorer and to rob
that man of the honor he so bravely
won. What has been the result? Cook
receives the plaudits of his countrymen,
while Peary sulks in his tent. Nobody
cares now whether Peary reached the
Pole or not. Nobody cares anything
for the full story of his achievement.
Nobody is anxious to drag him from
his seclusion. He has destroyed him
self.
Loose thinking is not confined to per-
sonal considerations. We find it pre-
valent in public questions, in science, in
the domestic relations, and even in the
domain of morals. Take for instance a
question like the tariff. Read the de-
bates in Congress on this everlasting
issue, and you will find perfect sat
urnalia of dilapidated ratiocination.
One eminent solon wants to put duty
on butter because he is proud to be
known as the friend of the American
COW. Another would put a duty on
eggs because he is the knightly cham
pion of the American hen, Then there
are friends of zinc, iron ore, lumber,
wool and peanuts for all we know to the
contrary, How many of our public serv-
ants stop to think that it is our duty to
frame tariff that will be just to all
people, and that will not tax the masses
for the benefit of the classes? The
crooked reasoner declare that he favors
high tariff in order to protect the
American workingman. As matter
of fact he knows in his heart that he
favors the high duties because they will
put abnormal profits in the Golfers of
the trusts and big manufacturers. If
he honestly believes what he says he
evidently does not enjoy the gift of clear
thinking. If he does not believe it he
is crooked and dishonest thinker.
Perhaps in no domain of human en-
deavor has there been so much loose
thinking as in that of science. The his
tory of science reads like midsummer
nights spree Lord Bacon, who for
some inscrutable reason, has been hand
ed down to us as the great promoter of
science never believed in the Coperni-
can system and objected very strenu-
ously to it all his life Scientists in Eng
land were demonstrating very conclu-
sively the impossibility of anaesthesia at
the very time when successful demon
stration was made in this country. At
one time science accepted the theory
that heat and light were imponder-
ables" issuing from solid bodies. The

How to Think Correctly.

4AQW w AAA%A@@
Do YOU know how to think? That
seems silly question to PROFOUND; for
everybody is endowed with a thought
apparatus. But every man does not
know how to use tproperly. The man
who owns violin may be able to evoke
sounds from it, but that does not prove
that he knows how to play upon it.
Asa matter of fact, correct thinking
is lust about the most difficult OF hui
man attainments. Loose thinking is
as prevalent and prolific as the weeds OF
the field. Crooked thinking is almost
as much of an epidemic. The man
who thinks along straight lines is a
genius. He can see both sides at once
and discover the truth between them.
Most of the ills that fret the soul OF
modern society are due to loose and IN
competent thinking. Superstition, fa-
naticism, tyranny, slavery, can all be
traced to a defective thinking apparatus.
Egoism is an especially reprehensible
form of loose thinking. No man IN
our day can live to himself. He must
come in contact with other people, and
he is bound to his fellows by certain
ties. If he considers himself the center
of the universe and does not bestow any
of his thought upon others, he will GER
tainly miss the meaning of life; he will
not only make others the more unhap-
DIV for his living, but he will finally
make wreck of himself. Samson was
the type of the egoist. In a burst OF
angry vanity he pulled down the tenn
pie, only to be crushed in the ruins.

monial catch Of his neighborhood. But
the curse Of egoism is upon him. He,
of course, like every healthy young
man, considers that it is proper to get
married; but instead of looking for the
lady whom he might love, he seeks one
who would confer distinction upon his
household, who would preside with
charm at the other end OF his table, and
would promote his career. OF course
he expected her to love him with all her
heart, for he knew he was worthy OF
any woman's love; and in requital for
her affection and service, would she not
enjoy the proud distinction of being
known as his wife? The spirited young
woman who was first engaged to him
fled from him as soon as she learned to
know him. His second fiancee, one OF
Meredith's most charming creations,
put up with him patiently as long as
she could, and then broke the engage
ment He finally married the woman
who had originally loved him, but who
confessed that all her illusions about
him were gone and that their marriage
was mockery and a fraud,
