tillage is essential and nitrate Of soda
may be necessary to secure rapid
growth. Use about 100 pounds per

and the story behind It The Ameri-
can Line has feet Of nearly dozen
ships. bearing names Of states. ] know
most about the New Jersey" for on
her I made never-to-be-repeated voy-
age across the Mediterranean.
As far as can gather from various
sources, the company which owns the
ships nominally has the majority OF
its stock in the hands of a Greek mer-
chant Of Smyrna. who went to Amer
lea and became naturalized 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 cinemetograph
show. and other enterprises that are
opening under the American nag.
American protection releases them
from all obligation to the Turkish law.
BY reason Of the capitulations in
force here every American enterprise
is free from Turkish supervision and
an interruptions person or persons, as
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 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 venture to say
that there are not five persons IN the
whole outfit who could tell whether
Grover Cleveland was brand Of po-
tato or the president Of the United
States.
They use the American shield on
the dress uniform of the ships Off
GERS, but they have distorted it 80 that
the blue field Is larger than the red
and white stripes and instead OF hav-
inx the field filled with stars, there ap-
pears upon 1t the white Greek cross.
Most OF the men in the company are
Greeks and thus they are flying the
Greek flag in defiance Of all responsi-
bility. They escape all the taxes
that they would have to pay TO the
Turkish government nor are they sub
ject to inspection by any Turkish Of
f1cial.
