MORE AND MORE " "a
EXISTENCE OF TURKISH
EMPIRE IS MENACED
BY HENRY WOOD.

Constantinople.-(By courier to
Dedeagatch and thence by mail y
July 14.-More and more, as the ex-
istence of the empire becomes men
aced more and more does the Turk
ish police department., the one and
only department of government for
which the Turk has ever shown a
real genius, increase it's activities.
The Turks say they have a million
and a quarter of men under arms.
One would be tempted to believe they
were referring to the number of po-
licemen.
Recently complaint was made to
Enver Pasha that there was too
much surveillance of the Scorpion,
the United States ship now anchored
in the Bosphorus at the foot of the
American College for Girls.
"But it is the duty of the police
to watch everything, to watch ev-
erybody," replied the 39-year old
minister of war; "Every 20 min
utes of the day and night a patrol
boat passes my house. am watched
like all the rest.'
This sensation of being constantly
under the eyes of the police produces
on the part of the foreigner here
a degree of caution. He never
knows at what instant a chance
word which he may utter may be
overheard by secret policeman and
in consequence of which he may be
charged with the utterance of trea-
son. x
Only few days ago Colonel Leip-
siz, the military attache of the Ger
man embassy, was killed. He was a
magnificent type of the German Of
fcer, over six feet tall, gentleman
both in appearance and in actuality,
known and loved by everyone. The
official announcement said that while
changing from uniform to civilian
dress in a little railway station up
on his return from the Dardanelles,
his revolver had been accidently dis
charged, the ball entering his fore
head.
There was scarcely foreigner in
all Constantinople who did not see in
this mysterious death the culmina-
tion at least in part Of his convic-
tions that sooner or later the Turks
will turn on the German officers now
stationed at Constantinople. But not
single person in all Constantinople
once expressed this suspicion.
"They say it was accidental" is
what everyone said to his most init
mate friend and this remark silence
alone followed. A word more ut
tered might have been overheard by
a secret police and the individual

Revelations of the Road.

Human nature and human char
acter have a way of revealing them
selves in any and all circumstances.
Just as murder will out, so the lines
of the human character are quite
easy traceable from the conduct and
the speech of men and women.
Human character revealed itself
most Enthusiastically in that episode of
the man who had fallen among
thieves on the road to Jericho, and
who was rescued by a good Samaritan
only after priest and a Levite had
passed by on the other side. In the
same manner, the character of those
who motor on country roads is re-
Elected strikingly in their attitude
toward fellow motorists. There is
the motorist who hogs more than his
share of the road; there is the mo-
torist who goes rushing wildly by,
regardless of peril to life and limb
and there is that other motorist who

be given to the traveller who has had
a blowout or who has encountered
engine trouble.
On the other hand, glory be, there
is the motorist who gives a generous
share of the road to the man who
passes the other way; and the driver
who is cautious in going around
skittish horses; and the motorist who
will get down out of his car and
dirty his hands and his collar, if need
be, in helping fellow traveller re-
pair his car; and the traveller who
will not hesitate to give a pedestrian
a lift if it is at all possible to do so.
If He were on earth today, Jesus
Christ would find more than enough
material for another "good Samar-
itan' parable among the motor tour
lists of the country, though today, we
believe there would be two Samarit-
ans for every Levite and every priest.

To look after the affairs Of the Cleve-
land Amateur Baseball Association, de-
clared tonight that the preliminary
steps toward his gaining control OF the
Cleveland club have been taken. How
ever, before control passes 20 him, a
number of important details must be
settled. Hopkins insists upon several
radical changes in the terms OF the
sale as prof osed by the bankers COM
mittee.
President Byron Bancroft Johnson Of
the American League, George steele,
representing the bankers committee,
and Owner Somers held several con-
ferences to-day and tonight, and 1t
ia intimated that the deal for the sale
OF the club. either 10 Hopkins or some
one else, will be closed before johnson
leaves for Chicago tomorrow.
One of the hard knots which the
prospective purchaser and the bank
ers' committee will have to unravel is
the status Of the Cleveland American
Association club, also owned by Som
ers. l. has been declared f some
time that the Association team will be
shifted 10 Toledo, where il originally
was located; but whether il will be
sold 20 Toledo capitalists or whether
the league will operate the club is not
known. Just what will be done re-
garding the players on the Association
team, who are the property OF the
Cleveland American team, is u problem
yet unsolved.

wrestle with the Association team prob

we'll as Johnson and Steele, declined to

The work Of getting out these add
tional men, none Of whom need neces-

task OF the graduate manager. Inc
chief difficulty has been IN the past, so
IL has been found, that the squad was
restricted TO men who were trying 1or

nual races at Poughkeepsie.
Although this was not the intention
