INSURANCE AGAINST ACCIDENT
Isaac Miller Harrisburg Representative
Of Great Corporation

The story of the General Accident
Corporation, is one of successful en-
9agement covering period of at least
80 years.
Isaac Miller, with offices at Second
and Walnut streets, fourteen wears
ago, became the Harrisburg representa-
tive Of this great corporation. Many
of our residents have been covered
with protection, year after year by its
policies. The local list of patrons in
clude the best and most conservative
risks in Central Pennsylvania.
This corporation and the Harris
burg agency has won continued favor
from its patrons on account of its fair
ness and promptness in dealings with
them.
The magnitude of protection given
in Pennsylvania alone is enormous.
The numerous letters received bv
Mr.. Miller from many of the patrons
to whom during this period he has paid
indemnity, express assurances of high
commendation and esteem and are the
best kind of local endorsement.

missing LINKS IN
TURkisR Incident


Some naval officers have urged that the
cruisers be withdrawn.
Officials believed. however. that mis-
slonary interests for which the cruis
crs were dispatched to Turkish waters
might insist the vessels be retained as
a moral force making for the protection
of the American missions and interests.
Ambassador Morgenthau had been
directed to inquire of ne Turkish gov
ernment why land forces had fired on
the Tennessee s launch as it steamed
from NourIah to Smyrna to investigate
conditions at the American copsu ate
and the commanders of the Tennessee
and her sister ship, North Carolina in
nearby waters, had Instructions to
make no move that might embarrass the
Washington government.
President Wilson was determined
that the United States should not be-
come involved in trouble with Turkey
and confidence was expressed that if
the Turkish officers had acted without
authority of pneir government or the
firing was unjustitied by naval proce.
dure that the Porte would apologize.
May Have Been Friendly Warning
CSSlOtdi DduitlS summed Up ms
view of the incident by declaring he
believed detailed reports would show
that the firing was intended as a
friendly warning to prevent the launch
from entering mined waters.
The Tennessee to-day was at Chos
harb0r.
Protection and friendship for Amer.
lean citizens in Turkey frequently have
been pledged by the Porte, but since
that time the United States has as
sumed charge of diplomatic interests of
the allies, with whom Turkey is now at
war, resulting IN conditions marked by
delicate responsibility. Activities by
some Mohammedan leaders caused ap-
prehensi0n on the part of the Ameri-
cans, as well as French and British sub
jects, and that was reported by the
United States Consul at Smyrna to Am
bassador Morgenthau.
When an investigation of conditions
at the consulate was determined upon
the Tennessee stood off at Vourlah and
sent a launch on the way to Smyrna
Under navy regulations, it was said
Captain Decker would have been iusti-
fed in attempting to enter the harbor
and inquire into affairs at the consulate
regardless of whether Smyrna port was
closed or not.
Apparently, however, he did nOt con
was expressed that had the consulate
been in imminent danger the Tennessee
would not have left the vicinity.
