Former European Manager Of The

NEW YORK, Nov l9.-Ihe Ten
nessee incident at Smyrna confirms
recent indications that German au-
thority I'm Constantinople is not as
firmly established as Germans best
interests require. Germany desires
as a matter OF far-reaching policy TO
maintain the most friendly relations
with the United States. Il is opposed
to every German desire that a crisis
should arise between America and
Turkey al this time. That the Smyrna
insult 10 the American flag has been
possible, means the German domi-
nance over the Ottoman is less than
Turkeys declaration of war, at Ger
many's behest, had suggested
The possibility that the Turks may
get beyond German control and en-
broil Italy and the Balkan countries
has certainly been taken into con-
sideration by Germany. The chance
that this would occur was a necessary
risk in the desperate game German
diplomacy is playing. The stake is so
large that practically any risk, from
the German standpoint, is justihable.
But that among these risks, Germany
took into consideration the possibility
of crisis between America and
Turkey is questionable.
Certainly. il must at least have &C
CURED TO German authorities that a
holy war encouraged among the Mos
lens might cause the Turks to consider
all foreigners within their territory as
religious enemies. But the Germans
must have been reasonably confident
of their ability TO direct Turkish
Jchad only against such Christians as
are the enemies of Mahommedans and
Germans. Otherwise there could be no
possibility of German officers leading
the Turkish armies, even though non
Christian Germans were available ior
this work.
But whether OF not Germany has
reckoned all the risks. individually on
separately. that are associated with the
Turkish alliance, the game. from the
German militarist standpoint, is worth
every possible chance. The game means
for Germany relief from the Russian
terror along the east German borders
the possible introduction of discord
among the allies after the war, through
the disposition of Constantnople, and
the possibility later of Russo-German
alliance based on the protection OF mu-
tual interests in Asia Minor.
Even If the Smyrna incident had
been foreseen. there is no question but
that the Germans would not have al.
lowed it to conflict with their plans for
squeezing the greatest possible military
assistance ont of Turkey. The chance
of America becoming seriously involved
in the European situation because OF
any occurrence I'm Turkish waters. is un-
doubtfully considered remote in Berlin
The German strategy now is dealing
with chances and this chance will
regulate whatever pressure Germany
may feel able To bring TO bear at Con
stantinople To explain away the firing
on the American flag.

Presidents proposal for settlement
of the strike in that State, the labor
delegates today began consideration
of two-score more resolutions for So

days remain for action upon such
questions by the convention.
Scouting a trap that might be used
against the'best interests of organized
labor. the convention refused to in
dorse a resolution urging that the
Newlands act for arbitration Of labor
disputes be made compulsory.
President Gompers anticipated his
own reelection when he protested
against the increase of the salary of
the secretary and president TO $4,000
and $500, respectively However,
the increases were authorized over
his protest.
The convention also went on record
as favoring free text books for Ameri-

cussed at much length was the re-
port of the special committee on life
insurance of which w. T. Greasy of

The national body placed itself on
record as being strongly in favor of
the pay-as-you-go plan of road-huild-
ing. and, while admitting that boule-
wards are desirable when they can be
afforded, the convention declared that
the interior road was indispensable.
The committee went thoroughly into
the question of road construction,
pointing out that there is danger of
the sentiment for good roads being
diverted towards the construction of
scenic highways and boulevards for
the benefit of tourists and pleasure
seekers rather than the business inter-
ests of the general public. and their
report was unanimously adopted, al
ter much discussion upon the subject
OF road building in general The re-
port of the committee was as follows:
Whereas. The grange has been the
pioneer in the good roads movement
and national aid for same and as the
sentiment for good roads is practical
ly universal, and
Whereas. There is a great danger
of this sentiment being diverted to-
ward the construction of scenic high
ways and boulevards for the benefit
of tourists and pleasure seekers rath-
er than for the business interests Of
the general public. and
Whereas. The roads needed first
are those which put the farmer in
close touch with the trading centres
and enable the producer and consum-
or to reach each other quickly, mex
pensively and easily, and save the
farmer much money in the cost Of
haulage and which enable the con-
sumer to receive a share of the bene-
fits. and
Whereas, The more economical
and more expeditions transportation
of the products of the farm to the
consumer would reduce the cost of
living ard be of equal benefit to both
consumer and producer, and
Whereas. While the scenic road
advertises the State, the interior high
way develops its resources, the for
mer are desirable when they can be
afforded. but the latter are indispen-
sable. and
Whereas. Business roads are the
chief concern of the grange and We
insist that their construction, main
tenance and control shall be kept
within the smallest possible unit OF
population or area consistent with
the highest efficiency of administra-
tion. in order that the money appro-
priated shall be spent close to the
people most directly concerned ;
