Enver Bey Forces Aliens to
Contribute to Up-Keep of
Turk Army, Declares Wood

The ambassadors from all countries
were hard hit. All employ many Turk
ish servants. United States Ambas-
sador Morgenthau found himself about
to be deprived OF the services OF 10
men, whom he needed badly. He
went at once TO Enver Pasha.
Surely. your excellency." he pro-
tested, lyon don't mean TO tell me
that you are going TO deprive me Of
this help"
Enver looked him squarely in the
eye and replied: And surely, your
excellency, you don't mean to tell me
that great country like the United
States Is going TO ask a poor strug-
Cling country like Turkey to give it
AZ pounds. Why only this morning
my wife, on her Bonded knees, begged
me TO exempt her favorite servant.
refused her. saying that my country
either must have the man or AZ
pounds
Ambassador Morganthau made a
profound bow.
II understand perfectlr, your ex.
cellency,' he said. You need say no
more"
That afternoon Morganthau sent
his check TO Enver for nearly $4,000.
What the American ambassador did.
was also done by representatives OF
the other powers England. France.
Russia. Belgium and Seryia at the out.
set or the European war. all helped
pay for Turkeys mobilization. -
Likewise every rich Ottoman mer.
chant who needed his servants con.
tributed 10 the cause. All Christians
were kept out Of the army, too. by
the exemption rule. They would have
hampered the government In ,declar-
ing a holy war. The Christians knew
that they would be assigned to the
very first ranks so almost to man
they paid the exemption fee and
escaped service.
Enver not only succeeded I'm raising
funds for the mobilization, but he
raised an army OF 500, 1000 men. com
pletely equipped on war footing.

Society Likes Opera
Only When Prices Are
High Say Aborns

: CHICAGO, Dec. 2s.-Society's elite
like grand opera only when high
prices keep the common herd away.
according TO Milton and Sergeant
Aborn, general managers of the Gen.
fury Opera Co. The Aborns today
blamed this attitude of wealthy folk
for the suspension or the Century's
season at the Auditorium. Here are a
few other similar reasons why popu'
lar prices and opera In English fail,
according TO the Aborns.
Only 10 per cent of the elite really
like opera the rest attend as a social
function.
Many persons attend opera only to
compare clothes.
Aristocrats don't attend opera in
English because they might under
stand too much OF IL.
The Aborns claimed today that
many millionaiTes who said they
would back the Century company got
out from under and left Otto II. Kahn

MIA su aliento, ell animal crey6-
lie cadaver y Sc alej6.
Cuando la fiera estuvo le-

-jQue te decfa ell oso al

-iMe decia que ell que
sbandona a I'm amigo en- ell
