PROTEST BY UNITED STATES
WILL BE INDEPENDENT ONE

Washington, Sept 12-Ambassador
Morgenthau informed the state de-
partment today of the character Of the
protests made at Constantinople by
the powers against the abrogation by
Turkey Cf extra territorial rights and
other privileges without instructions.
Morgenthau did not participate in the
protest.
It Is virtually certain that while the
United states will enter objections to
Turkeys course the negotiations will
be independent OF any notes on the
subject addressed by the European
powers.
The disposition of the Washington
government was to await the initla-
tive of the European powers following
the traditional policy of the United
States in that regard. The report that
the foreign diplomats be in Constan-
tinople had protested to the Porte was
received with interest by officials who
thought, however, that Ambassador
Morgenthau was probably not among
them.
The state department received today
only a brief report from Ambassador
Morgerthau recording the action OF
the Turkish government, announced
aere two days ago but making no COM
naent on the reasons for the step or its
probable effect.
The view that the American govern
ment would protest against the ab-o-
CATION of extra territorial rights was
advanced by officials who said the rea-
sons would be two-foId: First,
Americans had invested considerable
sums in Turkey because Of the special
privileges and protection afforded them
under the capitulations; and, second,
because Of removal Of extra territor al
rights might lessen the personal Sc
cu-ity Of American missionaries.
Al the Turkish embassy Il was
learned that the Porte proposes to sub
stitute for the present ad valorem du-
ties on imports specific duties which
will be higher. This would result IN
an additional burden upon importers,
most Of whom are said to be British.
on II E other hand lenders Of money
to the Turkish government have lien
upon the Turkish customs for their
loans. The principal Lenders are saio

Halloween in Frolics

Pretty games belong to Halloween more
particularly than any other time of the
year. Certainly. no other feast offers
such variety OF them. Every country
lends 1t speculiar customs, for Halloween
is countless centuries old.

and most romantic game OF all. Little

printed or written on each boat. A little
lighted candle Is placed in the stern.
Place these IN a tub Of water and fan
gently. Much amusement follows the
gradual pairing of OF the boats. The
candle. OF course, typifles good health.
Whoever has the candle which burns the
longest may expect a long and happy
life. The boats may be improved upon
IN countless ways and look very attractive
with the lights shining in the water.

Marshmellow toasting, roasting chest
nuts apples, popcorn, new corn and
such things before the open FIRE are less
strenuous and still popular amusements
for Halloween.
The Roasting Of Chestnuts
The true lovers test is found IN the
roasting OF chestnuts. a young man and
a girl should each place a chestnut on
the bars OF the crate and carefully watch
their behavior. II they stay quietly side

placed them there will lead an easy,

Halloween able Decoration
Halloween offers unlimited opportunities

Halloween offers unlimited opportunities
for artistic table decorations. Autumn
harmonies prevail, the color schemes
shown being chiefly orange, deep reds
and browns. or course, the weird black
witches and white skeletons are also In
evidence. One very charming table had
a cloth made of orange crepe paper, with
q border of witches and cats in black.
A good-sized house made of black crepe
paper pasted over cardboard formed the
centrepece, and astride the roof sat
very formidable looking witch. Her body
was made of a clothespin, with corn
tassel hair, realistically painted face.
and garments of shredded orange and
black paper. The lights used were can
dies, and to get the proper eerle atmos-
phere shades were made of dark
grotesque faces, pumpkin heads and grin
ming cats. Apples and other fruits were
ornamented by flags stuck in them, bear
ing a skull and cross-bones. Guests are
supplied with favors appropriate to the
occasion. Orange and black caps, family
suggestive OF the brownies, are very pop
ular. The whole effect is very realistic,
and from hostess point of view. very
successful.
