pointing a federal mediation commits
sion to deaf with future industrial CON

GERMAN ARMY TACTICS
DISPLAYED BY TURKS
Russian Military Experts Believe
Sultan's Troops Have Profted
by instruction.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.


PETROGRAD, November IA study
of Turkish movements since the entrance
of Turkey into the European conflict has
convinced Russian military experts that
the sultan's army has already profited by
it's German training.
The Turks in former wars have proved
themselves good soldiers-powerful in
physique and endurance, animated by
high morale and spirit Of courage and
temperamentally lacking in the sensi-
tiveness to defeat and disaster which is
likely to shake the spirit of the more
highly strung western armies. If upon
this foundation could be grated the
technical cunning and organization of
III. Germans it has been granted that
the result would be a formidable one.
but it has been thought doubtful whether
a short period Of schooling in the German
system could supply the strategfcal abil-
ity, the precision in detail and the gen.
eral tactical knowledge in which they
have been deficient.
Results Apparent.
But reports from the Turkish border
and comment by military authorities here
prove that the new Turkish regime I'M
der German direction has already borne
fruit In their equipment, their organiZa-
ton and in their general defensive ma
neuvers to meet the Russian invasion they
have shown that they are being guided
by German ideas.
On the Sth of November at Kapriksi
the Turks withdrew from strong posi-
ton before the defeat or exhaustion of
theiY forces but almost Immediately re-
turned to the attack This took place
thirty miles from a heavily fortified line
of trenches and forts, upon which the
Turks formerly would have fallen back.
Before they absorbed the German tao
tic. OF sharp counter attack being
the best weapon of defense they relied
wholly upon their defensive positions.
BUT in this case the Russian advance
was met by series of sharp counter
attacks. quite unlike anything the
Turks had ever exhibited before. The
same tactics have been observed in other
engagements between the Russian and
Turkish troops. plainly showing that the
Turks have aSsimiated their German
training.
Further evidence of the German in
f1uence has been noted in the commssary
trains captured from the army in Asia
Minor. These reveal not only a greater
variety of stores than the Turks have
carried in the past, but German method
of packing and d general attention to de-
tail unknown in the Turkish army in the
past. On the Turkish prisoners there
has been found as complete equipment
and field accouterment as carried by the
German soldiers themselves.

Probing Serious Charges.

Against many of these associations

if they be proved true, have been laid
before the commission, and 1T Is only

can be developed, and such eXamlna-

mission as the imperative necessity OF
organizing a market for labor on d
modern business basis. SO that there
will be no vacant jobs and idle work
ers in the same community at the same

transportation is practicable: The con-
sensus of opinion Is that legislation for
a national system of labor exchanges is
an immediate necessity. The plan OF
