Constantinople, Feb. 17.--No

Iaalat Sey, minister of interior,

cabinet told the Associates Press.
Replying to an inquiry regarding

Turkey is prepared to carry the
war to the end of the European

fronts simultaneously against
forces three or four times greater
than ours, to mobilize at the same
time an army of over 1000, 900 men
for reserve, is for US as well as
our allies at matter of the greatest
Importance" Our military

MUST PROTECT ITS OWN

VU 7HILE 1t may work a hardship
A/ upon some people in New
y" York and upset the methods
of transporting cattle from
Chicago to the seaboard, the policy of
the State Livestock Sanitary Board to
protect cattle from further danger of
infection by the foot and mouth dis
ease is entirely justified. Pennsylva-
mia has suffered to the extent of pos
the cattle disease brought into the
State from the West. 1t has taken
the most rigorous methods of stamp
ing out the plague, and when ship
ments within certain areas inside of
the State are interdicted and no cattle
can be brought into Pennsylvania from
Chicago for home consumption the
shippers and the railroads are asking
that they be allowed to ship through
the State. The state Livestock Sani-
tary Board. of which the Governor is
chairman. holds that such shipments
would carry danger of infection and
refuses to permit translate move
ments.
1t is to the everlasting credit of the
Pennsylvania Railroad that it promptly
acquiesced in the order. although it is
losing hundreds of cars of shipments
a day by so doing. Three railroads
operating through Erie county have
openly flouted the State and twenty
four hours ago were shipping cattle
right across the lake county into New
York.
The Governor now proposes to stop
such shipments. He has authority to
do so. The disease prevails in sections
of Erie county and it is part of the
police power of the Commonwealth
to prevent any movements that en-
danger Pennsylvania people or prop

takes all his own time to find out
what is wrong with the couplers. This
is only one incident in dozen which
is liable to occur every day. The en-
gineer does not couple the air hose

AS TO his thirty-four cars of beef,

Years ago there were three brake

THE MOTORCYCLE SHOW

"HE motorcycle and boat show
that opened here Saturday night
= for a weeks exhibit is some
thing new in the life of the city.
Only a few years back the motorcycle
was in a doubtful state of experiment
tation. To-day it is machine of
standard manufacture and widespread
use. 1t has opened to the man or
woman of means too limited to per-
NIT of the operation of an automobile
possibilities of enjoyment in the open
they never knew before. All outdoors
is at the disposal of the owner of a
motorcycle and he is able TO cover
heretofore unheard of distances in the
brief space of recreation time at the
disposal of the average man. Its uses
in business are extensive and grow
ing. II is in the infancy of its develop
ment, strong, sturdy and dependable
as it now is.
The effect of the river dam and
the proposed improvement of the river
at this point on the outdoor life of
the community is also reflected at the
exhibition. Formerly there was little
or no use for the motorboat in Har-
risburg. To-day the gasoline driven
craft has become so popular that
dealers are exhibiting it as a part of
the motor show.

~ ECRETARH REDF1ELD reports
that the tariff has had no ef-
~ feet on the industries of Mont
Somery country, the manufac-
turers OF wnicn complained of hard
ships placed upon them by the Under
wood law, but at the same time he
admits there are more than 1,000
people out of work who were steadily
employed before the new tariff law
went into effect and that the mills
have not been running up to capac-
ity.
These conditions were brought
about by Injurious trade customs"
and "uninteligcnt competition in some
lines" he says. 1t so happens that
most of these industries are of the old
established variety, industries that
had grown and prospered throughout
the years since the last disastrous at
tempt of Democratic tariff tinkererg
almost ruined them. One wonders why
it is, if the change in the tariff has had
no effect on them, that they managed
to keep steadily in operation with full
working forces and reasonable profits
for their owners all this time Why
was it, one may be fairly entitled to
ask, that all the effects of "misman-
agement' and "unintellisent competi-
ton" were withheld until the enact
ment of the Underwood law. This is
question tnat apparently did not en-
Ter into Secretary Redfelds calcula-
tions, for ne makes no attempt to ex-
plain.
The easiest thing in the world to do
is to criticise the other fellows af-
fairs. The industrial expert is
somewhat on par with the expert
WITNESS he frames his testimony to
suit the purposes of his client and
Ireaches any conclusion he is employed
to reach. The Montgomery manufac-
turers as whole are known the coun-

THE SOUTH AND COTTON

TORTIIERN business men who
nj are dependent in some measure
on southern trade report that
the South is again in the linan-
cial dumps over the prospects of be-
ing unable TO dispose of its cotton
crop next winter. 1t has been unable
to sell much of the cotton grown last
year and sees little use in piling up an
other surplus which growers feel sure
will knock the props from under
prices when the world begins again to
use American cotton in its usual guam
tites.
1t would seem as though last years
disaster should have taught the south
ern plants some lessons in the perils
attendant upon putting all their eggs
in one basket. The time is past when
the South can grow cotton only and
grow rich thereby. Years are bound
to come when cotton prices will Sac
to an extent sorrowful in the extreme
TO the man dependent upon cotton for
all his profit.
There is good sense in the recon-
mendations of the United States
Department of Agriculture that the
South turn some of its attention to
cattle production. The section south
of the Mason and Dixon line can pro-
duce more cattle and produce them
more cheaply than any other section
of the whole country, for the lands
here are still cheap. the grazing is
good, the pasture season is long. feed
can be produced at a minimum cost
and Inexpensive shelter only is re-
quired.
While slavery existed in the South
cattle, hogs and sheep were to be
found aplenty on every plantation,
and on most Of them there were very
good beef animals. At that time the
South produced all of the beef, pork
and mutton that was needed to supply
its own demands 1t was only after
the Civil War and the opening up of
the far western country during the
period of Southern readjustment that
the South lost its old time prestige in
this respect. Now the time will soon
be ripe for the swing back and the
Southern farmer who takes advantage
of present conditions to grow stock
viii profit largely thereby, particularly
so since modern methods arc able to
turn some of the by-products of cot
ton into very fair grade OF feed.

TREATMENTS DUTIES

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
In reply to n letter in the Telegraph
on March /, / would like to ask this
question:
What did the shopman. as the letter
was signed, try to tell when he wrote
that letter?
What does he know what is required
of a trainman while on duty?
He knows as much about the train
mans work as he does about Wing
Dinger's job.
| suppose he and other people, who
never think of railroads except when
going away, or are expecting some
trainmen have nothing to do after the
train leaves the yard, but ride in the
caboose or on the engine.
If he and his friends who think the
same way will go away from the rail-
road yard, out along the mainline,
they will see that the trainman is at
his post and is not out for a joy ride,
night and day.
He will also remember that several
years ago, l say three, l do not just re-
member the exact number, the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company posted no.
tices that all brakemen must ride out
on the trains If the railroad COM
pany posted those notices they cer-
tainly thought the men were of some
use out on the train, even though the
engineer did all the applying of the
brakes. lie no doubt thinks that when
train leaves the yard it does not stop,
at any place except for coal or water.
1t may be he does not think that far.
Half the trains that go over the road
never run straight through without
backing off cars and picking others up.
Suppose on a train of sixty cars there
was ony one brakeman and the crew
had orders to pick up cars on the rear
of their train. The engine and the
cars to be picked up nearly one-half
of mile apart around a curve.
The shopman has said the cars have
automatic couplers. Automatic coup
lers do not always work. In backing
against the cars the automatic coupler
becomes iammed or the knuckle refus-
es to close, the lock will not drop and
at last the drawheads become crossed
or miss and the car is showed sideways
off the track. over on the next track
into or in front of another moving
train. This accident could have been
saved by having another man to pass
signals instead of this one man crawl
ing up and down over these cars eight
or nine times trying to get a signal 20

the same time. trying to do work that

moment he took over the rather large
task of passing upon the industries of
a whole county in little more than a
month.
Probably the expert was in such a
hurry to lay his findings before the
Secretary that he neglected to tell
the manufacturers how they might go
about remedying the evils he found,
and so get their mills back on full
schedule and the hundreds of idle
people to work. At any rate the news
paper reports do not indicate that he
paid much attention to what the
Montgomery manufacturers might re-
gard as a rather important phase of
the investigation.
The whole report is palpabiy what it
was designed to be at the outstart-a
whitewash for the Underwood tariff
law, but the job reminds one of
newly calcimined fence after Spring
rain
