Morgenthau Reports

washington. September 12.-Ambassador Morgenthau informed t1e state uepdr.- nent today of tine character Of the pro tests made at Constantinople by the pow CTS against the abrogation by Iurkey oi extra-territorial rights and other prlvi- leees As he was without instructions the emha ssador did not participate in the protest. , ,
 If is virtually certain that while the Tinted States will enter objections to Fur kevs course. the negotiations will be in- denendent of any other notes on the sub feet addressed by European powers. Ine American note may be delayed untlt tne Porte's attitude toward the protests al ready made is learned.
 The United States is in 8 peculiar posi- ton toward the protests made by the nowers Although the United States has enioyed extra territorial rights and other privileges under a most favorable clause, the feeling of Americans is that they have considerable money in Turkey largely De- cause of the protection afforded them py these very privileges.
 The protest made by the powers ac- cording to well informed officials, is a weak one and not likely to affect Turkey as much as the course of the European war
 Reports that R,lmania, Bulgaria and Greece are determined to fight Turkey II she enters the war and the recent Ger man and Austrian reverses are believed to have tempered the war spirit in Con 'stantinople and many officials think the entry of the Ottoman empire into the conflict is much more remote now than at any time since the war began

And you don't have to save

There's lots of, joy in wanting things
And planning what you'd pay;
But you'd be robbed of planning thus
If riches came your way.

Now what's the use of so much.

With millions laid away you'd fret
And fuss and fume and scold.
You'd wonder how much more you'd
get,
You'd worry bout your gold.
You couldn't own and boss it, too,
The money'd have hold on you.
There's lots of fun in laying way
Some money now and then.

You'd censure what you spend.

CRAZE SEIZES COWS
Farmers Find New Tunes Make
Animals Give More Milk.

Port Jervis. y. y, June Pa COM
uittee OF farmers was appointed to-
day to watch and report on the effect
OF dance music on milch cows.
The experiment Is being made by
George Renso. who has a large dairy
farm here. Rcnso declares the effect
perfectly magical in increasing both
the quantity and quality Of the milk
given. The only point in doubt is
whether the cows will be able to keep
10 up.
Some OF the dairy hands bought

II going during milking time. Though
unable 10 understand the improvement
in his milk. Renso declined 10 sscrbe
IL 10 the music until the cows refused
to be MIXED unless dance melodies
we're played. He is now keeping sta
tistics to discover which tango tune
produces the most milk.
Renso said tonight that his cows
show every sign Of pleasure during
the milking concert, but none has yet
eyinced the slightest inclination TO
dance. He firmly believes the inn
proved supply will be maintained and
bases his conviction on the fact that
the cows are eating more and are in
better condition.
