an Austrian hussar in a hand to hand

Dumouriez. by this time dlsgusted with

ment of Governor Dawes, and was later elected by
the people to the place, winning reelection with
out opposition. Since 1891 he has been in private
practice, and keeps his office hours regularly
as any young lawyer just entering on his profess

by the government. The flag is fly

conducted in American fashion, and
which bring into disrepute the good
name of the nation.
Most conspicuous among these, and
of especial interest to Americans just
now, because of the shipping subsidy
agitation is an american Line" of
ports, flying the American flag. It GER
tainly looks good to an American to
e the Stars and Stripes flying on
the stern of a vessel of some kind
until he examines the kind of vessel
and the story behind it. The Ameri-
car Line has a feet of nearly a dozen
ships, bearing names of states. I know
most about the New jersey" for on
her I made a never-to-be-repeated voy-
age across the Mediterranean.
AS far as 1 can gather from various
sources, the company which owns the
ships nominally has the majority of
it's stock in the hands of a Greek mer-

lea and became a n~aturaliZed citizen,
and returned here for the purpose of
getting the advantages of American
citizenship. He is the nominal chief
stakeholder in the American Line, in
an ice company and a cinemetograph
show, and other enterprises that are
opening under the American flag.
American protection releases them
from all obligations to the Turkish law.
BY reason of the capitulations in
force here every American enterprise
is free from Turkish supervision and

may readily be seen, can greatly abuse
the rights of American citizenship.
What the Flag Covers.
In the case of this American Line"
which is a scandal throughout the Le-
want, the company ostensibly secured
American registration about a year
ago In order to escape the Turkish Law
whereby its ships could be used for
the transport of troops. Critics say
that this is the same company that
previously ran the ships, but simply
under another and an American name.
They fly the flag over their Offices and
over the ships; but I venture to say
that there are not five persons in the
whole outfit who could tell whether
Grover Cleveland was e brand of po-
tato Or the president of the United
States.

A Governors Invitation.
This district alone, needs an in
vestment of five hundred million
francs of foreign capital. We are now
having drawn specifications of a vast
irrigation project for this great Gill
clan plain. I shall be glad to let you
have, and to send to any interested
and responsible persons in America,
detailed Information such as would be
necessary to make bids. Americans
are familiar with irrigation work and
skilled in this department of engineer
ing; so we should be very glad to have
responsible firms seek this contract
and I could assure them that there
will be no difficulty about the neces-
| sary government concession.
"Here in the city of Adana we need
to install an electric lighting plant, a
tramway system, a water system, a
! telephone system, and a sewage sys-
tenn. All these public utilities are
| open to foreign capital with a good
return and abundant security assured.
mot only will Adana, which has
sixty thousand Inhabitants, grow to a
much larger city, with the advent of
the Bagdad railway and the develop
ment of our agricultural and cotton
industry, but to the east Of us on the
| Cilician plain there should be another
city. 1t is bound to come. With it
will come all kinds of opportunities for
capital. I should be glad If you would
extend this invitation to interested
Americans.
I'm the way of general trade, there
Is an almost unlimited field here. For
a few years past we have imported
| every year a number of modern agri-
| cultural machines, costing as high as
$4,000 piece. These came from Eng
land, yet we know that America is
the home of modern harvest machin-
cry. Why do not FOUR manufacturers
send out agents into all this agricul.
tural country, or secure native agents
in order to promote their business"
The governor went on to talk of the
changed order which brings in the
new fashions of the western style,
making a market for American shoes,
American collars and neckties, Amer.
can clothes, American tools and many
of the accessories of western life. The
general commission merchant should
do as thriving a business as the CAPT.

Cattle in Passengers Places.
It would be well if they we're. When
I went aboard the "New Jersey she
was loaded with cargo and we'll down
to the water line. Then there we're
later taken on $500 sheep and goats,
, lifted aboard in punches by their hind
legs, and thrown scrambling upon the
decks. These were given the space
that ordinarily goes to second class
and deck passengers. They were
crowded in so that there was not room
to walk among them. incidentally,
they were not given food or water ia
the So hours that I knew them to be
aboard. Thirty-one head of cattle
were also driven on to the upper deck.
A car load Of melons were piled high
among the life boats.
Over and beyond all these, spraw-
ling wherever they could make a
space, were two hundred deck passen-
gers, chiefly pilgrims to Mecca whose
prayers and pistols made them even
more picturesque than the goats I
could not find a life preserver on the
boat, though I searched. AS for the
life boats, some of them were occu-
pied by the pilgrims who conducted
their household arrangements therein.
Passengers on the Bridge.
The advent Of a first class passen-
ger on this line was evidently unusual.
Absolutely no space is provided on
deck for first class passengers but /
was invited to share the captains

that the filth on deck vas from halt
an inch to two inches thick. On the
bridge I was often left in undisputed
possession, no officer being present.
A horribly dirty Greek stood at the
wheel.
I could not find any sign Of captains
license, pilots license or any other Of
fetal papers on the boat. In the cabin
there is a handsome ikon before which
burns a light. Nobody on the boat
speaks English, except one mate who
appeared near the end of the voyage
and was able to ask to have his pic,
