by Am bassador Morgenthau, cabled
that he had got Secretary Daniels rigid
instructions to do nothing that would
embrol this government with Turkey.
A message also came from Captain
Oman Of the cruiser North Carolina at
Beirut, the senior officer in Turkish
waters. that he had got the secretary's
word to go slow"
To make absolutely certain that
these officers do nothing except on
orders of the state department other
messages were sent to them today.
Captain Decker was instructed to use
all diligence in getting in telegraphic
touch" with Ambassador Morgenthau
at Constantinople. He may be able
to do that by the telegraph lines from
Athens to Constantinople.
Though Secretary Daniels would
not say so, it is generally believed by
navy men here that the second report
Of Captain Decker states specifically
that the cruisers launch was fired up
on deliberately and without provoca-
ton by the Turkish garrison and that
the secretary desires to withhold this
information until the expected apol-
ogy from the Ottoman government
reaches Washington through Ambassa-
dor Morgenthau.

Yachts May Never Be Used

Stripped of their spars and rigging,
with their sails slowed away and their
decks boxed up for the winter, the
three cup defenders and the challeng-
er, Shamrock ", lie at different ship
yards in the United States and serve
as pathetic reminders of the great
Americas cup contest that was to
have been held in September.
While the exact amount of money
involved is not known, the three rae
ing yachts, with the money spent in
elimination races, in preparation for
the final race and in the numerous
changes in rigging and equipment, are
thought to represent an investment OF
at least $1,50O,000.
The contest has been officially post
poned to 1915, but if the war should
last two or three years the money in
vested is as good as thrown away, as
in that event the deterioration of
these yachts would be such that it is
not likely any Of them would be in
condition to use in the cup race

Claim Success in Naval Battle


London, Nov. 20.-Russian and
Turkish squadrons have met in a long
distance duel off Sebastopol, and both
claim to have had the better of the en-
counter.
According to the Russian report, the
former German cruiser Goeben, now
attached to the Turkish navy, was
damaged, while the Turks assert that
a Russian battleship suffered severely
and that other Russian warships were
compelled to retire.
Petrograd, Nov. 20.-The following
official statement was given out by
the Russian ministry of marine, re-
garding the naval battle IN the Black
sea between the Russian and Turkish
fleets:
"A division of the Black sea fleet,
returning to SebastopoI from its cruise
near the coast of Anatolia, sighted 25
miles from the Chersonese light, a
Turkish detachment, consisting Of the
Goeben and the Breslau. The Russian
feet Immediately drew up in battle or
der, bringing the enemy to starboard,
and opened fire at a distance of 40
cable lengths. The first salvo of 12-
inch guns from the flagship Admiral
EVstafry struck the Goeben and caused
an explosion amidship, setting the ship
on fire.
Following the Evstafry, the other
Russian ships opened fire, the Rus
sian guns giving an excellent account
Of themselves"

LIND ASKS FRIENDSHIP
FOR PEOPLE OF MEXICO
Former Envoy to Southern Republic
Foretells Bright Future for Ma
ticn-lauds Wilson's Policy.

Chicago, Mo-. 21.-John Lind, per-
sonal representative of President VIII
son in Mexico during the Huerta ad-
ministration, made plea here for a
warmer and kindlier spirit on the part
OF Americans toward the Mexican peo-
pie. He spoke before the Industrial
club at a banquet in the Congress
hotel.
Mr.. Lind pointed out the difference
in the results of the diplomacy exer-
cised by President Wilson and that
exercised in Europe. He told of condi-
tons in the southern republic during
the recent trouble and declared Huerta
could not have established peace even
had he been recognized by the United
States.
Il want to make plea for a warmer
and kindlier interest in our neighbors."
said Mr. Lind. They bear US no i'll
will. They need our good will. We
need theirs. We must be friends in
peace and allies in trouble
THE people of Mexico dwell in a
rich and beautiful land. I feel that
they are people of great promise.
They have suffered vicissitudes
which we have escaped. I believe that
they are emerging into the light of a
new and better day They may fail
at times. But I would rather have
them stumble and fall travelling our
way than to see them slide gracefully
back into the bondage, the ignorance,
the vice and sIoth of the sixteenth cen
fury.
Il have asked myself, and I asked
some of the critics of President Will
sons policy, whether it was not within
the range of probability that a people
who within a brief generation had re-
sponded with great facility to the new
social and economic environment might
make equivalent progress in the field
of politics and government, if afforded
a fair chance. I am hopeful, aye con-
fdent, they will.
The hard experience of the Mexican
has made him wary and suspicious.
1t has been difficult for the Mexican
people to believe that our president
did not have some Interior motive in
his proffered assistance and good Of
fees.
Europe condemned the idealism of
our president as well as his diplomacy.
They are reaping the fruit of their d.
plomacy, we of ours. Which do you
prefer? Fortunately, in the case of
Mexico, idealism and practical states
manship follow along parallel lines
Mr.. Lind advocated the establish
ment of branch banks in Mexico

Office in Berlin. The statement adds
that strategical reasons prevent the

GOOD TIMES BELL
RUNG BY SCHWAB
Steel Magnate, Back From Eu-
rope, Is Optimistic.
COUNTRY IN FINE POSITION
World Must Have Food Supplies,
but Contracts for War Material
Cuts Small Figure-Lauds
Washington Government.

.Eew York, Nov. 23.-Charles NJ.
Schwab, president of the Bethlehem
Steel company, returned from Europe
the other day with an optimistic out
look in regard to business conditions
in the United States
In his clear, direct manner he
brought out several important points
in statement that he declares to be
his first optimistic interview in three
years
For several years. he said, 81 have
been rather pessimistic regarding bust
ness conditions throughout the world,
and especially in the United States;
but now I am free to say that believe
We are on the threshold of a great
change.
The conditions in the United States
take on two phases-first, commercial,
and, second, political. I am convinced
that we are about to enter upon an
era Of great business revival, and that
the depression which has hung so
heavy upon us for several years has
reached the end
There is at best only a narrow line
dividing good times from bad times
and, in spite of the evil effect of the
war, with its heavy check to the
worlds productions, conditions in
America are shaping so now that it
needs only a degree of steadiness and
cool perseverance to translate bad into
good-to bring about a complete resto-
ration of commercial confidence and
inspire an expansion instead of a con-
tinuous contraction.
After the first flush of discourage
ment has passed 1t must be seen that
we in America are in a favorable posi-
ton because Of the war.
Our country is the only one so sit
uated. We are the only nation today
that has imposed no export embar-
goes. Every other neutral nation has
taken this step.
The markets Of the world that have
been controlled in large part by Great
Britain and Germany still exist They
demand supplies, and it is our duty
and opportunity to answer the de-
mand. The staples of life are still
essential and America can supply
these. and do it in such way that
when peace comes again her position
should be secure in leadership.
There is, fear, a mistaken impress
sion regarding the extent contracts for
war supplies play in the upbuilding of
our trade They are scarcely of sig
nifcance in the bigger prospect that
is offered to our view. Their volume
is not sufficient to justify serious at
tention.
There are only few materials we
are IN a position to supply without
contravening international law. 1t will
be through the main body Of our com
merce that the good times will be
brought back and our period of depres-
sion ended.
The second phase l mention-polit-
ical-bears heavily upon the retur of
general confidence. Our government
at Washington has shown in every
way a disposition to end the enact
ment of what has been termed de-
structive legislation. Whether or not
such legislation has been properly
named l need not discuss
1.-THE true and thorough neutrality
Washington is preserving is a great
help at this time, and it will play
big part in our development"

THAT NEW HIRED GIRL

REAL TREASURE.
Promptly Secured Before She Had

The charm has worked again.

one who would appreciate home of
refinement, where she could have her
afternoons and evenings of, with no
washing, no ironing, no scrubbing, no
baking, no hopping, no nothing.
She came. She came in radiance
with new hat 1uttering jauntily over
her left ear and descending in broad
but graceful sweep over her right
brow. A mere touch at the door-bell
and her presence was announced.
We knew the moment We saw her
that she was the long expected.
We ushered her into the darkened
parlor and gave her a seat on the long
sofa, right near the sheet Of tangle-
foot In fact, she was welcome to
two seats, but she politely yet firmly
declined. We thought she would, but,
then, we wanted to show her right
from the first that we were of a gen.
erous disposition.
No, she would not remove her hat
or her gloves or even her veil. She

have to prove an alibi or reveal her
identity. 1t was a very difficult mat

One glance at her was enough to tell
that she had been neglected in the
past. Her gloves were not automo-
bile gauntlets, nor was her veil one
OF the Nile green variety that blooms
on the back seat Of a red flyer. Her
skirt was not riding habit. Her
bootees were not built for long cross
country tramps. Her gold-headed UNI
brella was not golf stick.
We could hardly bear to look at her
and think that all her life she had
been deprived Of all the opportunities
that any domestic should enjoy. No
doubt she had spent her evenings In
the kitchen, eating bakery cookies and
reading the fashion hints or toasting
her shins by the aid of the electric
toaster.
Naturally we dropped our eyes to
the hardwood floor, where they lit
with thump, This startled her and
she dropped the suggestion that some
folks have been known to exist on 81

the whole of Germany to date at

These figures do not include the sick

In the Mississippi valley there are
more than twenty thousand small fac

means of getting in direct communica-

States. AS the result, when business
is slack in the United States the en-
ployees are out Of work, and the own
ers are out Of income. The big con-
Germs don't need help in getting for
eign trade, according to the delegates.
