Weapons of Every Time and Age Are
Found Among These Picturesque
Soldiers.

In this city of canvas houses, or,
rather, in these groups Of canvas ham,
let's, are men Of every race in the
Levant. There is no uniformity OF
type even among the officers, for the
Turkish Empire comprises many
races, and in the-same mess tent you
may see a Cretan captain chatting
with a lieutenant from the Bulgarian
frontier, an Albanian rendering his
cigarette case to a Yemen Arab. But
among the rank and file of the Tur-
kish soldiery the racial types are be-
wildering in their variety, says
Tripoli letter in the London Express.
SerVians, Syrians, Greeks, Cretans,.
Croatians, Roumanians, Egyptians, ISL

And even then one has spoken only

and fosters sort of political slavery

Washington, June AT last DR..
Wiley has been offered a job to his
liking and from all indications the an
nouncement will be made today that
the famous defender of the pure food
faith will tarry no longer in Wash
ington, but accept the position as
chief of the Boston board of health.
The conditions will have to suit DR..
Wiley-he hasn't a thing to say in
complaint of the salary and he likes
the job all right, but what be insists
on is that nobody but DR.. Wiley shall
have any say in the conduct of Bos-
tons public health, that the job shall
be kept free from politics and that he
shall be permitted to carry forward
certain magazine writing contracts
which are somewhat. remunerative.
Through conversations and tele-
grams these conditions have been pro-
vided for, and while DR.. Wiley has
been announced as going here, there
and somewhere else ever since his
resignation from the department, this
time he seems to be permanently put.

TBy Cable to The Tribune.I

Paris, Nov. 2.-According to informa-
tion from absolutely trustworthy
sources in Constantinople, the masses
of the ignorant, fanatical population of
STEAMBOAT, together with famished
refugees from the armies in Thrace
and Kurds from Asiatic Turkey, are all
in such excitement that wholesale mas
sacres of Christians and looting and
burning may take place at any
moment should the frenzied Moslem
mob get beyond the control of the gov
eminent, whose authority is hourly
waning.
The situation is far more critical
than during the Russo-Turkish war or,
indeed, than at any time since the con-
quest Of Byzantium by the Turk.
Raymond Poincare, the French Pre-
mier, has by common consent become
practically the spokesman OF the Triple
Entente In its proposals for interven-
ton in the Balkan war. Fortunately, a
thorough understanding prevails be-
tween Paris and Berlin, based upon an
earnest desire to prevent a European
confiagration, but the crucial point
just now is Vienna, where, following

AMERICA WILL KEEP OUT
U. S. Warships Not To Be Sent
TO Turkish Waters.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Strictly adher-
ing to its policy Of non-interference in
the politics Of Europe, the United
States has no intention of sending war
ships to the theatre Of the Balkan war
or having a voice in the terms Of peace.
This became known to-day as the pres
ent attitude of the American govern
ment. although no official statement
was made.
This position comedies with the
declaration of the Senate in ratifying
the Algeciras convention Of 1906, a
announcement which has served as a
guide for the State Department. The
resolution specifically stated that the
participation Of the United States In
the Algeciras conference was solely to
promote American commerce In Mo-
rocco, protect American life and prop
erty and aid In removing friction which
might result in war, and was with
out purpose to depart from the tradi-
tional American foreign policy which
forbids participation by the United
States in the settlement OF political
questions which are entirely European
in their scope
Even in the case Of the Algeciras
conference, the participation of the
United States was reluctant and was
due primarily TO the fact that this
country hsd been a party to the treaty
of 1880 regarding spheres Of influence
In Northern Africa.
Aside from this disposition to keeE
out OF European politics officials point
out that the great powers probably
would vigorously object to the display
of an American naval force In Near
Eastern waters, even were II possible
10 send battleships to Europe before
the crisis is passed. The little con-
verted yacht Scorpion, the American
station ship at Constantinople. prob
ably will continue to be the sole repre-
sentative of the United States navy in
| the zone Of trouble.
