JAPAN WILL TAKE
CARE Of TURKEY

Washington, Sept. AT the Jap
anese embassy today. it was explain
ed. with regard to the repeated sug-
gestions appearing In the press, that
the landing OF japanese troops in
Chinese territory contiguous to the
German lease hold at kiao-Chau was
not in point of fact an invasion Of
neutral territory.
The japanese position, as set forth
by diplomatic officers, Is that the
presence OF German troops and the
German flag In kiao- Chau is an Of
Tense to the republic OF China. which
nation is not In position TO enforce
the removal OF the kaiser's forces. and
this work has been undertaken by
Japan as war measure on her own
part. and as a police measure on the
part of China
Attention was called to the fact
that the presence of Japanese troops
in Chinese territory. not a part or
the German ieasehoid. differed only
In an im;Daterial way from the pres
ence OF the United States in the port
OF Vera Cruz. Mexico.
There is no doubt here now that
Japan would come to the assistance
OF Great Britain In the event that the
Turkish empire later declares war
against one or all of the allies. and
the Jehad, or holy war. be preached
to all the Moslem peoples.

PARIS EXPECTS
DARING ATTACK
AND NOT SIEGE

Paris. Sept. 4.--The Matin, refer
ring to the American. Spanish and
Swiss embassies remaining in Paris,
says:
1T appears that Ambassador Her
rick was the first to take this gall
liant initiative, which Paris will
recognize and adds that Ambassador
Herrick, when making his choice,
said that Paris appeared to him TO
be not only the capital OF France, but
like Marcus Aurelius' City of the
World, which must even possess a
government. perpetual if invisible.
The Matin says. regarding events
in the eastern theater Of war: Be
fore Lemberg, it was said that the
Russians needed a month 10 reach
Potsdam. Specialists declare now
sary: according to the rate at which
events are progressing"
Gustav Harve. WRITING in La Guerre
Sociale, begs M. Calienni to assure :.
Laurent, the new perfect, regarding
public order. and says: We Social
lists are the only section which ever
disturbed public order. We did so in
1872 in the midst of war because the
king betrayed the nation. We did so
again in 1870, after Sedan, because
the emperor had capitulateds and no
government existed. Today we have
firmly decided not to trouble order
on any pretext.
The situation Is no LONGER the
same. The republic has done every
thing to prevent war. Her diplomats
have given US alliances which make
us invincible. Our headquarters staff
may have committed mistakes. Who
doesn't? But it has preserved the
armies intact. Wherefore. let what
ever catastrophe come. not single
red Socialist will bulge"
1t Is generally believed that long
investment of Paris is unlikely. as
demanding too many troops. That
the Germans will push the attack,
needless of the cost Of lives. Is held
to be moro than likely. A third
course would be to leave enough
troops to hold the garrison and try
to terri orize the population by bonn
'bardment from Zeppelins and aero
planes. while the main German army
tries to destroy the French armies,
which Is the reel object Of war.

NEW POPE To Be
CROWNED SUNDAY
GIVES FIRST AUDIENCE TO
CARDINAL GIBBONS AND
SENDS BLESSING.

Rome, Sept. 4-Giacomo Cardinal
Della Chiesa will be crowned supreme
pont:n on Sunday. bearing the name
OF Benedict XIV.
The date, originally set for Tues
day, was changed SO as to enable the
cardinals from countries now at war
to hurry home to their countries with
as little delay here as possibue.
The popes first official act was to
appoint his predecessors nephew
canon of st. Peters basilca: his first
words expressed a hope that his frail
body might be able to bear the enor-
nous responsibilities thrown on his
shoulders, at a time when almost all
the countries of Europe are at war
and when the church has to suffer
the wounds inflicted upon humanity
by the wars.
Cardinal O'Conneli arrived in Rome
AZ O'clock this afternoon. the delay
being due to a breakdown OF his auto
mobile He has not yet had his audi
ence with the pope.
Cardinal Gibbons arrived in Rome
shortly before noon. and expressed
his qualification that he was the first
cardinal to arrive of thsAse who were
too late to participate In the con-
clave. He attended the ceremony
where no, mage was rendered to the
new pope, and after the tedium this
afternoon the pope insisted on hav-
ing an audience with him.
Cardinal Gibbons said lster that the
pope had bean most kind to him,
and had spoken III the highest terms
of America. He was greatly pleased
that he had accorded the the. first
audience to an American cardinal"
said Cardinal Gibbons.
"Ee sent his blessing to America
through me-"
The pope will hold his first con-
sistory next Tuesday, when he will
confer the red hat on two cardinals
The same day the new pontiff will de-
liver his first allocution, when he will
make public the program OF his
pontificate.

washinsto Sept. 4.-Turkey's In
tention In the present emergency Is to
remain entirely neutral. according to
dispatches received by Rustem Bey. the
Turkish ambassador here today. The
following Is the text of the cablegram
from Constantinople: II hereby inform
you that by reason OF the neutrality
she has adopted. Turkish military au-
thorities are ordered to insure by every
possible means the perfect safety Of
merchant vessels of beiligerents and
OF neutral states taking refuge in her
harbors."
The ambassador said he interpreted
this as direct confirmation from his
government that Turkey had not de-
clared war and that she will insist
upon her neutrality. He said this ca
blegram contradicted all rumors of war
by Turkey.
The cable was sent by the Turkish
minister of foreign affairs and left Con-
