To Protect Foreigners

While the North Carolina goes on
mission of financial relief, her pres
ence in Turkish waters is intended to
have a salutary effect with respect to
the treatment of Christians and for
eigners generally resident in the OF
toman Empire.
Before taking this step, the United
States took precautions to sound the
Powers of Europe as to whether they
would object to the sending OF an
American warship to Turkey. In view
of the extreme tension which prevails
at Constantinople, and the probability
that Turkey soon will be drawn into
the European conflict, the American
government desired to make plain that
it's purpose in sending the ship is in
no way political
Reliable advices indicate that as
soon as the big Russian army has PEN
etrated a considerable distance into
East Prussia, Turkey will strike. That
both Bulgaria and Roumania will align
themselves with Turkey against Greece
and the rest of the Balkan states is
also indicated by authentic informa-
ton reaching here.

The Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse was
one of the palatial steamers of the North
German Lloyd Line. At the outbreak of
the war she was converted into an armed
cruiser and since has been reported as
active in searching for British merchant
men.
1t was on this vessel that the late
Mayor Gaynor of New York was shot
as he was about to sail for Europe
More than once has the Kaiser Wilhelm
Der Crosse played a leading part in
thrilling adventures at sea, in New York
harbor and in foreign ports.
Captain Polack, her commander, per-
formed with her a feat of seamanship
in October. 1907, that will long be re-
membered for it's brilliance. When in
mid-ocean the liner lost her rudder
Capt Polack brought her into Portland,
Me.-a journey of several days-without
the rudder, steering her with her screws,
working them alternately. and the feat
was acclaimed as one of the most extra
ordinary ever performed on the high
seas.
