Complete and public apology by the
Turkish government Tor the hostile
acts of its warships; promise OF
adequate indemnity, and assurances
that violations of neutrality hereto
fore complained of would not be re-
peated in the future.
There is not the slightest belief here
that Turkey will yield to this extent.
Her apology, previously rendered and
declined, is described as half-heart-
ed affair. Il represented the beliefs
of the peace party in the Turkish cab
met and the Turkish ambassadors at
Bordeaux and London. The latter Of
ficials realize that the allies are de-
termined, if the war finally ends with
them victor, that Turkey shall be dis
membered for all time and that there
shall be no more Turkey in Europe.
It was because they emphasized this
view to the Porte that the apology was
rendered
While the decisive war measures
wait on the further diplomatic
changes it is understood here that
both Russia and England have already
acted to carry the fighting directly to
the Turks. The Anglo-French fleet is
/ patrolling Turkish waters and will
prevent the transport of troops. Il
will also probably she'll the forts at
the Dardanelles and certain exposed

suit to enioin the construction OF
the DUPONT boulevard tc cost a mil
lion dollars through Delaware, and
legal obstacles to the building Of the
road are removed temporarily at
least. The action of the Supreme
Court did not include a decision as
to the constitutionality of the right
to condemn land and for the con-
struction of the boulevard, the SUIT
heing dismissed because the appeal

denim strip up to 200 feet wide FOR

toned the right of the boulevard
corporation to take a strip through
his farm near Mil by condemna
tion proceedings. The action was de
cided against him by Resident Judg'
Henry G. Conrad. of Sussex county
and Clendaniel and others assoctate'
with him took an appeal to the Su
preme Court of Delaware. which de
eide that the law authorizing con
structiOn of the boulevard was valid
and that the right to condemn up L
zoo feet wide for boulevard purpose
was constitutional. Henry Ridgely
of Dover. and Caleb S. Layton. no'
of this city, represented Clendanle
and the other parties to the suit. an
i they carried an appeal to the Unite
States Supreme Court attacking tn
right to condemn a strip up to 20
feet wide as unconstitutional an
confiscatory.
After the appeal was taken, MI
Clendaniel died. A few months ag
