TURKISH POLICE
BECOMING ACTIVE

CoNsTANTINOPLE, July 14-(By

more and more does the Turkish police

say they have a MILAN and a quarter

ONLY THREE STATES WITH
OUT EDUCATION LAWS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug, 21.-
A race to avoid being the last state
in the union to adopt compulsory
education laws is APPARENTLY under
way in the southern states, according
to reports received at the United
States bureau of education. There
are now only three states without
such laws, Florida having recently
Joined Texas and South Carolina in
adopting compulsory education by
Legislative enactment. The three
states without such laws are Geor-
gia, Mississippi and Alabama.
Officials of the bureau of education
pointed out that this years compul-
sorry education Legislation is part if
a big educational advance all aloug
the line. Nearly 81 the state leg-s-
latures were in session during 1915
and much of the educational discus
sion that has been going on for several
years has crystallized into law. The
Alabama legislature has reconvened
for the summer session and much
school legislation will be discussed.
The fact that the Alabama legisla-
ture deos not meet again for four
years makes it likely that Georgia
and Mississippi may get ahead of
her in adopting compulsory educa-
ton unless action is taken this year
Another point that the bureau of
education remarks on is the fact that
examinations for promotion in schools
are going out of fashion.
Few schools now rely entirely upon
examination as test for promotion"
declared the chief of the division of
school administration of the bureau
of education, in his annual review of
school conditions in the smaller
cities.

aminations count one-half, while in
others they count only one-fourth.

tions are not true tests of the pupils

GIRLS LOSE THEIR
FLOATING HOME

NEW YORK, Aug, 21.-The old
ship, Jacob A. Stamler was due to be
abandoned today by the fifty working
girls who have made it their home
for some years. The vessel, moored in
the East river near the foot of
23rd street is needed for other pur-
poses by the Arbuckle estate which
owns it.
The girls have sentimental at
tachment to the ship where they have
lived SO long and been happy, and
the prospect of moving also means =
serious financial problem. On the
Jacob Stamler, charges for board have
ranged from $3.50 to $3.50, and the
girls say they can't get accomo-
dations elsewhere for that amount.
Some of them earn only 81, week
and none more than 81 or So. Some
are out Of work.
Fifty-nine years ago the sailig ship
Jacob A. Stamler was one of the
largest passenger vessels plying be-
tween New York and Harve, France.
Later she took cargoes to and from
nearly every large port in the world.
John Arbuckle, the coffee king, pur-
chased her in 1901 and turned her intS
a travelling hotel, making nightly
trips from the Battery to Sandy
Hook.
In recent years she has been moored
at East 23rd street and maintained
with the yacht Gitana as a floating
dormitory for women, at the expense
of the Arbuckle heirs.
Frank d. Seeley has been skipper,
mate, pilot and foster parent for the
Grew" of the ship. His wife is call
ed mother" by the girls and really
acts in somewhat that relationship
to them.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug, 21.-
Officials are still hopeful that the
German-American situation will not
lead to a break despite its serious
ness.
Officials expect explanations from
Berlin.
They won't take slap in the face
but are willing to listen to any Ger
man explanation, if there is any.
1t is said the government will be
glad IL Germany can show it did
not int md to disregard American
rights.
1t is pointed out that Germany has
recently campaigned Tor American
sympathy, hence the 4.rabic incident
is contradictory to that policy.
Some think that deliberate unfriend-
liness was not intended, and on that
account America is determined to
avoid any break if it can creditably
do so.

DOCTORS ALL IN THE ARMY
Germany Faces Oearth of Physicians,
Called to Serve With the
Coiors.

In view of the dearth of physicians
in various parts of Germany as a re-
suit of the war, leaders of the Leipsig
Physicians association have appealed
to the Prussian war ministry for re-
lease of licensed physicians and medi-
cal students not yet licensed from their
obligations to serve in the Landsturm.
To this, according TO the Vossische
Zeitung, the war minister replied:
According to the existing laws, it is
impossible to grant a general order
freeing all approved physicians and
medical students not yet approved
from their obligations to serve in the
Landsturm, in so far as they are act
ing as substitutes for physicians al
ready called to the colcrs. 1t seems
to be imperative, first of all and as
most important of all, to cover the
needs of physicians in the army.
"a release from military service can
THEREFORE be granted only as an excep-
ton in individual cases under condi-
tons peculiar to certain towns or vii
lagos, which will be investigated as
they arise, in cases where the release
of a physician from liability of mill
tary service is demanded absolutely by
the needs of the inhabitants of such
place."

MONEY MOST WISELY SPENT
Millions Expended in the Campaign
Against Tuberculosis viii Surely
Have Its Effect.

More than $20,500, 900 was spent last
year in the campaign against tubercu-
losis in the United States. Of this
sum 66.8 per cent was derived from
public funds, either federal. state,
county or municipal, and the remain
der was contributed by private philan-
throphy. These are some of the in
teresting figures contained in the an
nual statistical statement of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, made pub
lie recently. The statement is based
largely on actual reports received
from anti-tuberculosis agencies lO-
Gated throughout the country, but
where reports are not available, the
figures have been estimated.
institutional care and treatment of
consumptives in hospitals and sana
toria makes up the largest share of
the total expenditure. More than ST.,
100000 was spent for this purpose.
with an additional $925,000 for spe-
cial treatment of tuberculosis insane
and prisoners. These figures include
not only the cost of maintenance, but
in some instances the cost of construc-
ton of institutions. Antituberculosis
associations spent the next largest
sum, amounting to a little over $780,
600. Care of patients in dispensaries
and by visiting nurses cost almost as
much. approximately $860,000. The
growth of the open-air- school move
ment is shown in the fact that last
year more than 100000 was spent for
this purpose, as against $4,000 ex-
pended five years ago. State and
city boards of health spent 100000
directly on tuberculosis work

Automobiles and War.

The automobile industry is one OF
the few lines of American manufac-
ture which will get more permanent
good than harm out of the European
war. The purchase Of motor trucks
by Britain and Russia is only one in
cident of this advantage. The big
fact is that for years to come Ameri
can manufacturers will have almost a
monopoly of the home market, and an
edge on the market of South Amer
ic. as we'll 1t will take European
makers many years to repair the raw
ages of conflict in their own lands.
