North Carolina Can't 60 Through

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3-Ambassador
Morgenthau notified the State Department
to-day from Constantinople that the
Turkish Government has declined to grant
the request OF the United States for per-
mission for the American cruiser North
Carolina to pass through the Dardanelles
to Constantinople to deliver sl5O00O in
gold for the relief Of Americans in the
Turkish Empire.
Mr. Morgenthau said that the Grand
Ni2!"r, in refusing the request, had ex-
planned that the Dardanelles IL mined and
that il would not be safe for 80 large a
vessel 10 pass through. Furthermore, the
Grand Nizltr said that the permission Il
granted might establish precedent for
tie assage of other foreign warships. He
suggested that the American naval yacht

great deal has been said about the
losses. At Cold Harbor Grant lost 5000
men, Lee LOO. on that basis the British
loss at Mons and Landrecies OF 5000 men
would mean casualty list to the Germans

that they cannot get hand to hand with

are much less common.

The Russian Menace

To-day Germany has no such advan-
tagc over France and England More
soldiers she has than France and Eng
land combined. but she now has to send
against Russia nearly all the number she
has In excess of France and England.
Again, as Russian mobilization becomes
more and more effective she will have
to turn all her reserves. possibly even
some OF her army in France, toward the
east. For France and for England, on
the contrary, the whole reserve and sec
ond line can be used against the armies

German advance has worn itself out by
