AMERICAN COMMANDS

Vice Admiral Ransford Buchanan
viii Be Leading Figure in Sea
Battles to Follow.
Associated Press Special.


Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 30.
Vice Admiral Ransford D. Buchanan,
formerly of Philadelphia, now pa
sha of the Ottoman empire and com
mander in chief of the Turkish nav
al forces, will be a leading figure in
the sea battles which are certain to
open the war campaign between
Italy and Turkey.
For many years Vice Admiral
Bucknam was a resident of this city
and was widely known among ship
builders in the eastern part of Penn
sylvania. Ten years ago he was sent
/ from the Cramp ship yards with the
| Turkish cruiser Modjidia, which had
/ been built by the Cramps He was to
! deliver the cruiser to the Turkish
naval authorities and then return
/ home.
He startled the Turkish naval au-
, thorities by steaming in with the
| ship roaring a tremendous salute
from her heavy guns. 1t was the
| Fourth of July, and even though the
| Sultan had expressly forbidden any
| firing in the vicinity of his palace
| the American could not resist the
| temptation to celebrate Independ-
ence Day. u
The Sultan consulted with the
present vice admiral chiefly out OF
curiosity, it Is said. to see what man
per of man it was who had defie5
his orders. lie wac impressed ny the
mans thorough Knowledge of ships
and ship building and he asked MIN
to remain in Turkey and aid IN
the development of the navy.
Shortly after that Mr.. Bucknap'
was promoted to vice admiral and
finally to the supreme command OF
the Turkish navy.
