A telegram from Manager Moles- worth from Memphis last night an nounced the death of the father of Clyde Mcbride, the Baron's star left gardner. Mcbride left Mem- phis for Pennsylvania last night to attend the funeral. and in all probability will not participate fur ther in the Memphis series.

TURKEY ASSERTS HER INDEPENDENCE OF
 CONTROL BY POWERS
tContinued from Page One,

tinople Wifen the Young Turks gained control the powers were sounded as to possible abrogation of the capitulations The reply was unfavorabe. Todays dec laration, so far as known, was not pref aced by any such discussion with the powers.
 The Turkish ambassador described the privileges as relating to economies and the administration of justice.
 Tn the economic field,' he said, the Turkish government cannot fix or change the customs duties without the consent of foreign powers. Nor can tke Turkish government impose q professional tax on foreigners, because the powers have not consented.
 Has Not Free Hand
 ''ln the administration of justice the Ottoman government is not free to deal with foreign culprits in the matter of certain trials without intervention of the representatives of the foreign ambassador or minister to which the culprits owed allegiance. In certain cases foreigners cannot be imprisoned in native prisons but in those of the consulates.
 These restrictions weigh heavily on the Ottoman states, both materially and morally Turkey has been prevented from Introducing reforms which it has been accused of delaying precisely by powers. Nnof UWlHS 10 tfle enjoyment or prlN1- 1eges, stood in the way of progressive action on the part of the government Turkey has been deprived of that confl- dence which full independence gives to a state. Deprived of that independence the moral fibre of the nation relaxed
 In diplomatic circles the announcement of Turkeys attitude attracted the widest attention. The allies are known to ex- pect at any moment declaration of war by Turkey in behalf of Germany Com ment was heard among diplomats of the allied powers as to possible deliberations between the German foreign office and the Porte before the decision to abrogate the treaties was reached.
 So far as diplomats oftthe allies would venture an opinion the prediction was made that Great Britain, France and Russia probably would not make any rep resentations on the subject to Turkey at this time, leaving it until the close of the war.

Engagement Reported

London, September 10.-(93O D. m)-A Reuter- dispatch from Ostend says that according to soldiers who have arrived there it would appear that an engage ment is in progress between the i-el- gians and the Germans, who are with drawing toward France.
 Paris, September 10.--A dispatch to the Temps from San Sebastian says:
 The paucity of war news from French sources is causing the Spanish press to be inundated with so-caled German of- ficial communications, With the result that France is losing what small influence she possessed. The foreign ministry gives out to the newspaper men accounts of German successes in France. Although the minister is careful to say they are of German origin, the fact that they are communicated by the foreign office stamps them with certain authenticity. London, September i0-0.25 D. m ] There has been some sharp fighting be- tween the British and Germans in Africa. This is indicated by the list of casualties issued tonight. In Cameroons Qkamerun). a Germany colony of western equatorial Africa, three officers were killed, four were wounded and four are among the missing.

Everyone Wants Peace

"Everyone wants peace,' remarked Ambassador Jusserand of France to a friend as he was leaving the state de- partment S,day "but."-with ges ture of resignation-"now it is war"
 The ambassador said that as a re- suit of the protest of Emperor Will liam he had been authorized to in form President Wilson that no bullets whatsoever not approved by The Hague conferences either have been used by the French soldiers or would be used, in spite of any provocation.
 In the midst of the diplomatic chaos in Europe, Great Britain, France, Spain and China, 1t became known today, have agreed with the United States on the text of treaties to be signed in "a few days. They provide for the inves- tigation by a commission for a period of one year or more of all interna- tional disputes that may arise between these countries and the United States. One effect of the signing of the treaties would be to prevent this coun- try from being suddenly drawn into the European war over neutrality ques- tions or other unexpected difficulties. Nineteen such treaties have been signed and ratified by the Senate: Secretary Bryan hopes to have 30 on record by Christmas, making most remote the possibility of war between the United States and any nation. There was some discussion today as to whether the celebration of the tooth anniversary of the signing of the treaty of Ghent would be held as planned.

Expect Unreasonable Terms

To make peace now while German troops hold Belgium and a large part of France might cause Germany to exact unreasonable terms, according to the British view.
 On the side of Germany and Aus tria. likewise, the President has found no encouraging sign for peace. Asked whether Emperor Williams message of yesterday was susceptible of interpre- tation as a peace overture, the Pres ident said 1t protested merely against the alleged use of dumdum bullets by the French and the activity of Belgian citizenry in the war.
 Mir Wilson said he would reply soon to the Emperor's message. The answer may be merely courteous acllnowl- message, or it may be the expression of the hope that the rules of warfare laid down by The Hague conventions will be binding on all belligerents. The answer may refer to the Presidents S standing offer of mediation.
 Observers in close touch with the White House thought tonight the first course to be the most likely merely acknowledging the message It was said the feeling was general among of ficials that the present was not the time to press for peace with prospects of success.

Storage Appeal For
Building More Warehouses
Special to The Leader Enterprise.

Special to The Leader Enterprise.
Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 5.-A strong
appeal for the building of more
cotton warehouses and the i'm
provement of those in use is
made today by w. A. Gilreath,
of the firm of w. A. GiIreath
and company, cotton brokers of
Atlanta and GreenvilIe, S. C..
He shows that this is the time to
interest capital in warehouses as
only half the cotton has been
picked and nearly all the ware
house room taken both on the
farms and in the cities.
DO not let your cotton stay
out in the open. subject to the
weather." urges Mr.. GiIreath.
1T will pay you to sell it at the
market if you do not store or
house it. No spinner will even
look at cotton this year that is
when he can buy all the good
cotton that he wants and more
than he can pay for that has
been properly stored. A word
to the wise farmer is sufficient.
By all means, keep your cotton
under cover and off the ground.
TO the warehouseman: this is
no year to increase your storage
rates. They should be reduced
and the sprinkler system applied.
You should take advantage of
the opportunity to encourage the
planter to market all his cotton
every year through your ware
house at a very small cost, as it
will be best for both. He might
need your receipt after awhile
and you need the volume of his
business. so as to be able to make
a cheap storage and insurance
rate"
Let's all pull together and
we will win, sure"
DR.. Gilreath expresses conf
dence that the South's represen-
tation ia Congress and the SEN
ate will do all in their power to
aid in the situation. AS it ap-
pears the war will last long
time he urges that farmers pro-
duce something to eat first and
something to wear second.
