FOR AUTONOMY IN TURKEY
France to Discuss Austrian Pro
posal with Her Allies.

Paris. Aug. 16-The project Of Count
Leopold Won Berchthold. the Austro-Hrn-
garian Foreign Minister, 10 secure a
gradual autonomy for all the European
provinces OF Turkey is welcomed in Of
fetal circles here, but the French gov
ernments attitude In the matter will no.
be divulged until the return Of Premier
Raymond Poincars from Russia, and the
French Foreign ONCE has had an oPpor-
t,nitv OF discussing the project fully with
French friends and sllios.
Tie new fact OF real importance from
the French point Of view which the sug-
gestion Of the Austro-H Hungarian Foreign
Minister discloses Is the apparent desire
OF Austria Hungary for reconstruction
OF the European concert which SO far as
Balkan AFFAIRS are concerned has been
practically in allegiance since 1919. when
the Austro- Russian agreement was engi-
neered Count Alois Lexa Won Aehren-
thai, the late Austro- Hungarian Foreign
Minister. then made the Balkan States
virtually an Austrian reserve. resulting Ia
the appropriation by Austria-Hungary OF
the provinces Of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
II Is remarked IN diplomatic circles that
Count Berchtholds reversal Of his predc-
cessor's policy Is likely 10 ameliorate con-
siderabiy the conditions which have re-
Gently made near Eastern politics so dis
quieting.

CAPTAIN LORDS APOL0GIA
Commander of the Californian
Justifes His Conduct.

liverpool Aug. lS.-W. Stanley LORD
who vas captain of the Leyland Line
steamer Californian at the time or the
disaster 10 the Titanic. issued state
ment to-day defending his conduct. He
declares that If the Californian mad oeeh
the steamer sighted from the Titanic she
would also have been sighted from the
Cunard liner Carpathia.
Captain Lord states that the Stigma
cast on his character and seamanship Is
rndesery4d and unjust The evidence he
saws Is conclusive that none of the re-
,snonsibIe officers of the California was
aware there had been serious calainitS
The second officer having been the only
one who saw signals, Captain Loro oe'
eares himself justified in relying on that
officers judgment that the vessel sighteo
steamed eight miles between ana z
o'clock IN the morning. whereas the IL
tanic did not move after midnight. Cap
tain Lord says ne has no recoHecnon OF
what occurred after midnight. his oIncers
seen1ing the occurrences too uninportaht
70 communicate 10 him.
That any seaman should wlfully ne
elect distress signals IS preposterous and
unthinXable IN the opinion OF captain
lord. who says the lack of reply to the
Morse signals from the Californian con-
vinced the officers of that vessel OF the
rnimportance Of the previous rockets
while the fact that the vessel reported
was steaming away was further iusti-
fcation.

CRITICISM FOR c. P. R.
Proposed Increase of Capital
Called Mere Melon Cutting.
fBy Telegraph to The Tribune

lBy Telegraph to The Tribune.l
Ottawa. Ontario. Aug. 16.-The Cana
dian Pacific Railways proposal TO in
crease the ordinary capital stock Of the
company by S60, 10000 Is meeting with
considerable opposition from various
points. The Toronto World" edited
by w +. Mclean. a member of the
Borden administration, makes strong
plea for refusal of governmental
authorization OF the increase.
The World" says the company can
raise all the money It needs by issuing
debenture bonds. and is therefore seek
ing 10 increase It's capital for the pur-
pose OF cutting another melon. 1t
adds:
"If the new capital be issued to
stockholders at $50 share Il will
mean bonus to be divided Of s60,o0o. =
600. Upon this dividends must be paid
in perpetuity, thereby increasing the
fixed charges of the road and making II
more difficult 10 reduce the burden of
extortionate and discriminatory freight
rates under which the people, especially
in the West, are groaning."
From the Western press comes a sim
liar objection against the government
authorizing the increase until there is
a reduction OF freight rates.
According 70 precedent such increase
must be authorized by an Order In
Council The government Is therefore
held TO be responsible

BORDEN FOR A BIG NAVY
Realizes Security of Seas Is
Essential to Empire.

Glasgow, Aug. l6.-The freedom OF the
city OF Glasgow was to-day conferred on
Robert /. Borden. the Canadian Premier.
by Lord Provost Stevenson. In accepting
the honor Mr.. Borden said:
"As the British domlnions grow IN
power, influence and population greater
than these islands, We must realize the
need for further modification Of our con-
stitutional relations. Certain responsible
!t!es now assumed absolutely by the peo-
ple OF these islands and the Imperial Par
lament must be shared by the great
overseas domlnions. We of the overseas
dominions are convinced that the way
across the seas must be kept secure. In
no other way can the great British en-
pire keep together. The security OF the
seas is as essential to the safety OF the
empire as is the breath Of life TO the In
dividual."
