PARIS, Dec. 22.-The modern Beau

ardent admirers, and, according to
rumor has said to him, You have
nothing more to 90 in this Partisan
rabble of society that has lost all re-

ask you to come with me to preside

cepted, so that Paris salons will know
him not this winter, and there will be
a chance for other asprants to dis

in managing cotillons, a branch of the

WANTS COAST FUEL SUPPLY
Associated Pressl


WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Important
strategic points and centers of possible
naval activities, according to a state
ment Secretary Meyer made to the
house committee on naval affairs in
coal depots, are Puget Sound, Pearl
Harbor, Corregidor, Guantanamo, Bos-
ton, New York and Hampton roads.
Secretary Meyer has advised the COM
mittee that there are no facilities at
any OF these places for coaling battle
ship fleet eXpeditiously, and that 1t Is
desired to provide them as soon as pos
sible.
Coal depots OF a minimum capacity of
100000 tons are required at all these
places in his estimation. Puget Sound
already has a depot of $4,000 tons ca
pacity; Guantanamo 5000 tons; Bos-
ton 1850 and New York 5000.
Mr. Meyers favorS Puget Sound and
Guantanamo first, at an initial cost OF
$S90,O00 altogether. and a maximum OF
81, 500, 900 as ultimate cost for each.
Fuel depots at naval stations have
also been urged by Mr.. Meyer at Bos-
ton, New York, San Francisco, Puget
sound. San Diego. Olingapo, Corregi-
dor and Pearl harbor. Such depots are
being built at Key West, Charleston.
Norfolk and Narragansett bay and
one is to be provided soon at Guanta-
namo.
He told the committee he had asked
no provision for Panama canal ports,
as it was hoped that adequate coal and
fuel depots would be provided by the
government for commercial require
ments and the navy as well.
"An ample stock of coal and oil
said Mr.. Meyer, ''is as essential in the
preparation of fleet for war as is
reserve ammunition"

TURKISH MANEUVERS
COMMENDED BY GERMAN

RFRIIN, Dec. Gen. Won der
Goltz. who has lately returned to Ber-
lin after a stay of seven weeks in Tur-
key, during which he attended the
army maneuvers at Adrfanople, de-
livered an address to the German
Asiatic society this week on his I'M
pressions and experiences. Gen. Won
der Goltz spoke enthusiastically of the
success of the maneuvers and paid
tribute to the energy of Mahmud SheV-
ket Pasha. The general staff had done
it's work we'll In preparing for the
maneuvers, and the military authori-
ties had shown corresponding zeal,
whereby the talent of the oriental for
improvisation was again made evl-
dent" In the lower commands the ef-
fects of lack Of training were to be
observed The Turkish common SOL
dier had established his reputation for
endurance once more. Relations be-
tween Moslems and the new Christian
recruits were excellent, land, 1t is to
be hoped, will remain so unless the
political and religious agitation does
it's work."
Gen. Won der Goltz explained that he
had been principally concerned with
military matters and indeed military
matters were in the foreground in Tur-
key just now. The Turks had grasped
the fact that an empire which is
alarmed at every outside development
for fear of the consequences is not in a
position to carry out reforms within.
Hence their desire to increase their
military strength. Albania, continued
the speaker, had been successfully
pacified, and 10000 serviceable rifles
secured, thanks to the firm attitude Of
the government The Cretan question
chad been guided into the channel of
