1t is related that a war correspond
ent in the Balkans, while picking his
way among slain Turkish soldiers after
a hard battle, came upon some cart
ridge cases and was moved to give
them a close examination. He found
that the case was of steel and the pow
der apparently of good quality, but the
bullets were small pieces of painted
wood. Upon inquiry he found that
these cartridges were furnished for
practice shooting and had evidently
been mixed, through mistake or design,
with the regular army bullets.
In the light of late developments in
the Balkans the incident may be taken
as symbolical of the entire struggle of
Turkey for the maintenance of her ma
tional integrity. Forced into war by
her own acts of cruelty, with dissen-
sons within her own ranks, without
the organization that should keep her
army the fearless fighting machine it
once was, she has been fighting with
wooden bullets while the enemy met
her with the best weapons of modern
warfare and united purpose. Today,
beaten and Inundated, Turkey is still

The marriage of Miss Helen Gould,
whose wealth is estimated at 100000

is comparatively insignificant, is an
other illustration of the attitude of
Miss Gould S entire life toward money
and all that goes with it. Known
throughout the country for her numer-
Gus philanthropies and her interest in
the affairs of those less favOrahly sit.
uated in life, her selection of life
partner without means is not surpris
ing. With wealth sufficient to de-
mand a place in society, she has pre-
ferred to step into the places of the
lowly, there to lend hand personally
wherever her assistance could bring
cheer or comfort to the needy. The
list of her philanthropies includes
many enterprises for the betterment
and uplift of her fellowmen. The Y.

ment districts all have felt the influ-
ence of her character as well as her
money. She has been prominent in ma.
tiOnal affairs for the betterment of
her sex. and in everything undertaken
has been an inspiration for the better.

PART TWO
immigration Puzzles Uncle Sam


From the poverty-stricken novels of
Russia and her kindred countries, from
the plague-ridden districts of Southern
Europe the United States is claiming
annually her toll of ignorant and illit-
crate immigrants. Careful as the de-
partment may be to safeguard the well
fare of our nation, watchful for dan
erous characters of the Black Hand
and similar organizations, and con-
tinually resorting to deportation as
protective measure, still the country is
filling up with undesirables, and there
seems no way to check the flow. The
problem of immigration in relation to
its effect upon the future of our coun-
try is one that must sooner or later be-
come an issue, for the facts as revealed
by the latest statistics are alarming.
generation ago our population was
Increasing steadily with an annual in
flux of immigrants from Germany,
Scandinavia and the United Kingdom,
attracted by the free land offers made
by Uncle Sam and the unbounded op-
portunities for betterment These i'm.
migrants were of the steady, sober
class, well educated as a rule and bear
inga very low percentage of illiteracy.
From one to four per cent represented
the number of illiterates. while their
thrift made them well-to-do within
few years. Now the situation is COM
pletely changed OF the 100000 for
eigners who annually seek our shores
the great majority come from Russia,
Austria, Hungary and Italy. Poor, op-
pressed, with no chance for betterment.
they listen to the siren voice of the
INSCRIPTIONS agent who is willing to
pay their fare across the ocean, for the
evils of their present existence stare
them in the face and they can see no
chance for worse fate. They hasten
to escape the known evils for the vague
hope of brighter horizon. From 13
to 4S per cent of them are illiterate.
Never having had anything in the old
country, they have not learned how to
make their way here. Many of them
are fit only for day labor.
If these immigrants would scatter
over the country and settle in the rural
districts the problem would be less

vises change of climate and suggests
a high, dry altitude for about six
months. Nevada offers the required
rarefication of ozone, and furthermore
there is sanitarium at Reno known
as the divorce colony, which has the
most remarkable record of cures ever
heard of. Hundreds enter the sani-
tarium every year and go away cured.
The longest treatment ever recorded
was just little over six months, while
the great majority 60 away completely
cured at six months and one week.
The belle submits to her physician IS
advice and the treatment begins.
Surrounded by others of similar all
ment, with the sympathy of kind
friends and the gentle care of colony
specialists, her recovery is rapid.
Every day she can tell by her breath
ing that the gap in her heart is clos
ing up. At the end of six months the
colony physician gives her little plas-
ter with instructions to wear it upon
her heart. 1t is the courts decree of
divorce. She suddenly finds that not
a trace of the terrible wound remains
and she goes back to New York for an
other trial.
If the Nevada legislature passes the
bill the divorce business is going to
suffer. 1t is sad to think of the effect
such a measure will have upon the
wounded hearts of the aristocracy of
the country. Experimental matrimony,
one of the noblest institutions of our
nation, is sure to receive setback that
we may never recover from. Further
more, Mexico may get some of our
wealthy citizens six months out of
every year. For with our sanitarium
shut down we have no other high, dry
climate that will do the business. The
climate of Reno acts upon the ruptured
blood vessels of the heart very much
the same as a green persimmon does on
your lips. 1t Fuckers them all up so
you hardly know you have any. The
United States government ought to
take hand in it and stop the threat.

Fighting With Wooden Bullets


Ottoman has engendered the utmost
bitterness and hatred. For a genera.
ton he has been molding the wooden
bullets that would some day be used
in defense of his national integrity.
Within her own army the result is
the same. Military service under the
Sultan brought the worst of abuses.
Every Mussulman is required to serve
seven years But as no record Of births
is kept, many escape service, while
third time. No one serves who can
pay. A picture of modern military life
is given in "La Revolution Turque"
as follows:
"Quartered in an isolated garrison
of Europe, Arabia or Africa, the pri-
vate is left without pay, without
clothes, without shoes, without bread.
The ministers, the projects and the of.
ficers steal the appropriations, rob the
commissary stores and even the ar
senals. Half naked, hungry, smitten
with fevers and syphilis, the unfortu'
nate soldier is forced to brigandage or
revolt. In Mohammedan district he
goes hungry long time before robbing
the inhabitants. In Christian dis

when weakened from lack of food be-
cause the organization at headquarters
did not send forward supplies. More
than one defeat chalked up against
the Turk was brought about by this
means. And here lies another cause
for the decline of the Ottoman empire.
Disscnsion within the ranks of the
government has served to thwart many
plans. The young Turk against the
old education and freedom fighting to
supplant the ancient traditions of the
race, patriotism against anarchy have
disrupted the nation for decades. The
policy of the Sultan and his advisers
has been molding the wooden bullets
their enemies
During all the years of treachery on
the part of Turkish rulers there occa-
sionally rose up men of sterling worth
who looked to the future with eyes that
saw the conditions existing today. Of
these Midhat Pasha stands as the one
pre.eminent example of wisdom and
craftsmanship. 1t was he who gave to
the nation the constitution which time
and again came to the aid of Turkeys
rulers when intervention by the pow
ers threatened to set things right. But

become the property of the manufac-
turer. In printing Offices the printers
might as well be compelled to pay for
the ink"
The situation was rendered more
critical by the strike of walters, affect.
ing many of the hotels of the city.
Cafes and restaurants have suffered
heavily because of insufficient help, and
some have threatened to engage neA
groes unless the striking walters re
turn. Scenes of rioting in and about
several cafes have been reported. The
dining room force of the Y. NJ. c.. A.
joined the strikers and many of the
letter houses are affected. Scenes of
rioting were enacted on the streets, and
special police protection was found
necessary in many instances. One ease
was reported where the life of pro.
prietor was threatened unless the de
mands of his employees We're granted.
In all the activities of the restaurant
strikers, Miss Elizabeth Gurley Flynn,
the young organizer, has been a most
persistent champion of her cause. In
zone of her addresses she urged n new
attack in order to bring the employers
to terms. She declared that much of
the food served in the restaurants was
unfit and urged her companions to make
public their knowledge of conditions in
the kitchen.

who knows anything about the adul
teration of foodn said Miss Flynn,

one guest to another, about highly fla
vored sauces to disguise unfit food, to

clinging to the forlorn hope that some
thing will yet intervene to save her
from the ignominy that will result if
she is forced to give up Adrianople.
Six hundred years ago Othman ap-
peared out of the East and set up his
power. For three centuries thereafter
the Turks maintained their power
through their daring and fearless sol
diership. Then came three centuries
of decay, and for the past hundred
years the Turkish government has
maintained its existence through the
sufferance of the powers and not be-
cause of any merit nationally. The
countries that Turkey has conquered
she has regarded only as plunder, Civ
ing no thought to their development
and less to their rights. They have
been regarded only as source Of
tribute and have been called upon
many times to furnish the means
wherewith to fill the depleted Golfers

ligion, freedom of education, freedom
of anything, these dependencies have
crouched in fear before the threats of
their master. With such n policy the

Divorce Mill May SlowUp?
East Worried Over Proposed Action by Nevada Legislature

A wall of woe has gone up from the
effete East over the sudden announce
ment that the state legislature of Ne
vada may pass law during its present
session extending the residence re-
quirement for Divorces from six
months to a year. For without Reno
and its divorce colony the wealthy mis-.
fits of the country will be up against
it. If the legislature does pass the
odious law there will be rush in the
heart-healing business up to the time
the new measure goes into effect.
After that what! Probably the cry,
con to Mexico!"
1t is easy to imagine the effect of
such a measure on the wounded hearts
of the rich. Suppose, for instance, the
time for the new measure to 60 into eff
feet is January l, 1914. Bands now
worn threadbare will suddenly snap and
the parties will hasten to the confines
of the friendly state. Others not
ready to snap will yield at once to the
scissors, while many ruptures un-
dreamed of will be suddenly effected
and their principals carried away with
the popular stream of emigrants to
Reno. And after that, "On to Mex

Nevada has long been the mecca of
wounded hearts. In fact, since South
Dakota increased the residence require
ment for divorce Nevada has done
about all the heart-mending business
for the country. 1t has become in real
ity an art, and many have adopted it
as a specially and made it their pro.
fession. A pretty society belle decides
to try matrimony just for fun. After
a couple of months she decides that
she doesn't like it and the doctor is
called in to make an examination into
the condition of her heart He finds
a small silver in it and extracts it. But
the wound thus left widens every day,
and after twelve month has passed it
gapes wide open and the red blood
oozes and spurts until there is no love
left in the poor heart. The doctor ad-

Labor Disturbances in New Bring EghtCondtions
in the Working Lives of Thousands

For several weeks past New York
has been in upheaval because of the
strike of 100000 garment workers and
the concurrent strike of walters in ho-
tells and restaurants. These strikes
have been most obstinate and have eli
cited much sympathy, both from other
unions and from persons outside the in
fluence of labor. The large number of
women and girls involved is probably
in part responsible for this, for the
condition of many of these women is
very close to the starvation line. The
effects of hunger and cold have been
noticeable in spite of efforts to give re.
lief by the establishing of depots for
the distribution of clothing and money
and the opening up of free lunch rooms.
The strikers demand better pay and
shorter hours, besides a general better.
ment of sanitary conditions in facto.
ries and restaurants where they are
employed.
Much influence has been brought to
bear upon legislators and city officials
looking toward the betterment of con.
ditions in the trades affected by the
garment workers strike. Ex- x-President
Roosevelt announced that the execu.
tive committee of the Progressive
party would use its influence in the
legislature to secure the creation of
minimum wage boards in the garment
trades.
In speaking of the conditions among
workers in the garment factories, the
head of the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union said, "They are
worse paid than the workers in any
other occupation / know of. Girls on
leaving school will be employed in the
white goods factory at $l.50 week.
In six months they. will get an advance
Of fifty cents week and in another
six months another fifty cents week.
1t is n year or two before they can
earn 50 week and they seldom reach
$S week. Another leader says, "In
cases where the manufacturers charge
the girls 80 cents week each for elec.
tric power, the bosses make money out
of it, for 10 cents week would pay
for it. In many cases they charge the
girls 40 cents each week for thread, yet
