WRATH OF THE ALLIES
TURNING UPON TURKEY
Porte to Be Brought to Realization of Its Obi
cations, Following Purchase Of
German Cruisers.

LONDON, August l4.-Great Britain
France and Russia have sent a sharp
demand to Turkey for the immediate
repatriation Of the officers and crews Of
the German cruisers Goeben and Bres-
lau.
1t Is reported that the two cruisers
were met by Turkish vessels outside
and escorted into the Dardanelles.
There is no official confirmation Of the
actual purchase of the cruisers by
Turkey. but the report to that effect is
generally credited.
May Involve Italy.
ROME. via Paris, August 14.-The news
that Turkey had purchased the German
cruisers Goeben and Breslau reached here
only last night. This new development
in the war situation was discussed with
intense interest in political circles, where
it was held that 1t was fraught with the
possibly Of grave results.
Italy will probably demand an expla-
nation as to the future use of these ships
and also warn Turkey that she will not
allow the equilibrium Of the lower Med
iterranean to be threatened, as Italy is
determined to prevent complications.
Dispatches from Paris say that the al
lied governments opposed to Germany and
Austria-Hungary have agreed to bring
Turkey to realization of it's obligations
as neutral power in connection with her
purchase from Germany of the cruisers
All that the government knows at pres
ent is that the Goeben and Breslau are
in the Dardanelles. It is suggested that
the cruisers possibly may have raised the
Turkish flag after leaving Messina, and
that this would account for their being
allowed to proceed without molestation.
A Reuter- news agency dispatch from
Paris says advices received from the
Dardanelles declare that contrary to the
recent statement of the Turkish govern
nent the German flag has not been low
cred on the German cruisers nor have
their crews been landed since their ar
rival in Turkish waters.
A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company from Athens says that King

premier and minister Of war, e. Venizelos.
has called conference Of all former
the attitude Of Greece In the face OF
Turkeys reported purchase of the
cruisers.
Considerable anxiety is felt in Athens
In connection with the reported purchase
by Turkey of cruisers. as it is feared
the acquisition Of those two vessels may
make Turkey uncompromising on the
subject Of the disposition of the Aegean
Islands. A rumor that Turkey had
taken as a Justification for this belief.
Called Farce In Rome.
In Rome it is stated today in semi
official quarters that the vessels would
become a strong weapon in the hands Of
Turkey II Constantinople abandoned its
attitude Of neutrality. The belief was ex-
pressed that the purchase is a.prelude to
a new position on the part Of Turkey and
in favor Of Germany and Austria Hun
gary. which is especially important as
bearing on the interests of the Balkan
states.
The Tribuna says that the preparations
made at Messina for noble death by
the officers Of the German cruisers, who,
before sailing from that port made their
wills. left the public "unprepared for
this farce"
Seeing the impossibility of escape from
the Anglo-French fleet If they followed
their original idea of molesting the trans
ports moving French-African troops, the
German cruisers sought refuge in the
Aegean sea, where with the completely Of
Turkey, which continues to make love to
Germany, the two vessels contemplated
how they might paralyze British COM
merce in the Mediterranean and interrupt
traffic with India
But closely pursued. they had no al
tentative to taking refuge in the Darda-
nelles and disarming.
Instead Turkey purchased them. This
Is not considered permissible according to
the law Of nations Never has a nation
at war sold her own ships which already
had been used against an enemy. During
the RusSo-Japanese conflict many Rus
sian ships entered Chinese and American
neutral ports, but they were disarmed
and there awaited the end of the war"

LEARNING THINGS
We Are All in the Apprentice Class.

When simple change of diet brings
back health and happiness the story is
briefly told. A lady of Springfield, Ill.,.
says:
after being afflicted for years with
nervousness and heart trouble, re-
ceived shock four years ago that left
me in such condition that my life
was despaired of.
81 got no relief from doctors nor
from the numberless heart and nerve
remedies tried, because didn't know
that coffee was daily putting me back
more than the doctors could put me
ahead.
FINALLY at the suggestion Of a friend
I left off coffee and began the use OF
Postum, and against my expectations I
gradually improved in health until for
the past 6 or months l have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking, weakening
spells of heart trouble.
"My troubles all came from the use
of coffee which I had drunk from
childhood and yet they disappeared
when quit coffee and took up the use
of Postum" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many people marvel at the effects or
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum,
but there Is nothing marvellous about
it-only common sense.
Coffee is a desWoyer-Postum is q
rebuilder. That's the reason.

book, 1.-THE Road to MELVILLE"
Postum comes in two forms:

The Human Element.

In these days of scientific manage
ment there is tendency to ignore
the human element in humanity to
create industrial machines which shall
turn out their products at maximum
speed and at minimum cost. To be
sure, the attempt is made to remuner-
ate the workers handsomely for their
labor with the purpose of furnishing
them the wherewithal to live more
comfortably. So far as such process
is mechanical, however, it cannot
yield the best results. Man is not a
machine and he docs not live by
bread alone" no matter how much of
it he gets. A prime requisite for pro-
motion to positions of authority should
be the possession of those distinctly
human qualities which will inspire af-
lection as we'll as respect. We are
all attracted to the organization in
which the manager is referred to as
"the chief" "the boss" the mogul,"
or some such human term,-Electric

The immediate construction of two

lines to coal fields, has been recon-
mended by the commission appointed

not to exceed $35,OO0,0OO. A network
of railroads to develop the district

that river at three points has been
proposed, but some of these lines have
been found on investigation to be i'm
practicable on account of the noun

Children at Meal Times.

Never allow children to eat when
they are hot and tired; let them cool
down a little first. For this reason
an interval should always be allowed
between work or playtime and the
meal, and the nurse or governess
must be instructed to bring the
youngsters home at least twenty min
utes before the actual meal time and
in a leisurely manner Hurrying on
the "late for dinner" cry upsets both
temper and digestion. If child seema
tired when it arrives, sponge it's face
and hands and let it lie down for a
few minutes before the meal. If it
falls asleep don't wake it; rest Is
more necessary than food at the mo-
ment and give a light meal later.

Bath to Bournemouth train heard new
ing. after the departure Of the train,
but a search of the van revealed no

proved unavailing. Continued cries
being heard throughout the return
journey more thorough search was
made at Bath, when Fluff was found
sitting on a gas cylinder beneath the

which it had occupied for twelve
hours.

low Republic.

Unsettled as the Chinese govern
ment is, the building of railroads and
the development of other concessions
continue, the Indianapolis News OBJ
serves. The present movement is not
unlike that of the year 1898, known in
the history of the far East as that of
the battles of concessions" Many
nations are participating in the pres
ent activity. Great Britain has en-
gagged itself to construct a line start
ing from Shasi through Human to the
Kweichau, opening the latter province
for the first time to the commerce of
the world. More important, however,
are the plans of Russia and France.
On May 20, 1911, what was then the
-four power syndicate, concluded
with the Chinese government the So
called Hukuang railway loan of 910.-
100000, which gave the syndicate the
power to build 1,50C miles of line in
the provinces of Human and Hupeh,
with an eventual prolongation into
Szechuan. Then the revolution de-
veloped and all enterprise lay dor
mant. The Belgians were the first
foreigners to awaken. In September,
1912, they made new railway loan
with China for G10,000,000 The Bel
gian company concerned was the so
ciety of Railways and Tramways of
China" behind which stands the bet
ter known Banque Sino-Belge, an insti-
tuition which, ever since the days of
King Leopold. has closely co-operated
with Russian diplomacy.
This introduces the Russian foreign
office into the Belgian transportation
schemes, and adds international inter-
est to railway construction in China.
from that time on the Banque Sino-
Beige has obtained valuable conces-
sions. Were all the enterprises con-
trolled by Russian-Belgian interests to
be developed Immediately China would
experience a great revival French
capital is to be found throughout
China and French engineers are &C.
cupied tn surveying prospective lines
through provinces as yet untraversed
by any except caravans. The posts
and telegraphs in some of the prov
1nces are also in French hands. Amer
lean interests are not so much con-
cerned with transportation as with
mineral products. The Standard Oil
company, having obtained the Chinese
oil concession, has monopoly in COM
parison with which some of the rail-
way enterprises appear cheap and in
significant.
