Position Of Defenders PreCariouS
 Forces Trimmed Out
TRIUMVIRATE IN CONTROL
Two Ministers and Police Chief in Charge of Affairs-Taalat Rev Gets High Prices-No Transportation Facilities-Revolutio Imminent

Athens, Sunday, Sept. 12, Via. Paris, Sept. IS, II a. m.-An American citizen of standing in Athens has re- ceived advices from Constantinople. which he says are trustworthy, that the position of Turkish forces defend ing the Dardanelles is precarious It is said the Turkish front, thinned by the heavy losses which the fighting has entailed on both sides, is finding it increasingly difficult to hold the lines against the French and British.
 Turkeys position at sea is described as disadvantageous. The former Ger man cruisers Goeben and .Breslau, re- named respectively, the Sultan Selim and Medullu, are said to have been incapaciated, while the Russian fleet preys upon Turkish shipping.
 Under Triumvirate.
 According to this information, Fur kish affairs are under the control of a triumvirate with autocratic powers, consisting of Enver Pasha, minister of war; Taalat Bey, minister of the interior, and Bedri Bey, chief of police OL DlSSdClSldCClOn among the Moslems is reported and it is said the Shiek ul Islam was dis missed because he did not approve of measures taken against the Ar menians The committee of union and progress is reported to have been virtually superseded by secret com mittee which is Responsive to the wishes of the triumvirate.
 Christians Murdered.
 The Americans informant states that Armenians are being sent to concentration camps at various points, being driven afoot or forwarded in box cars. He adds that the earlier of Christians in Asia Minor are being duplicated in the present in stance and that in some cases only a small part of the ex- pelled Armenians reach the cOncen- trations camps alive. Henry Morgen- thau, American ambassador at Con- has exerted every effort to protect the Armenians, but appar- ently his endeavors have been un- availing. It is stated that American women who attempted to go with the refugees to look out for Arm enian children were turned back, and that
  who were students at the American college at Constantinople fell into the hands of the Turks.
 No Transportation.
 Owing to the interruption of sea transportation it is almost impossible to purchase coal in Constantinople and wood is being used for locomo- lives. The crops were good, but it has been almost impossible to harvest them. Petroleum costs one dollar a gallon and the price of sugar has in creased seven fold.
 The Americans informant states that the agreement said to have been reached between Turkey and Bulgaria has not affected a definite settlement of relations, but that, to the contrary, the Turks are hastily erecting de- lenses against the Bulgarians.

'"The inha bitants of Constantinople are suffering greater hardships than is necessary because the committee of national defense, run by Enver Pasha, minister of war, and Taalat Bey, minister of the interior have cornered all commodities and are selling them at high prices.
 'The resignation from the cabinet of the Sheik ul Islam, representative Of the sultan in religious affairs, is confirmed. He disapproved of the ex- termination of the Christian elements, against which he protested to the abinet. The Greek-Armenian pa triarch has been deprived of all powers.
 'The Black Sea end of the Bos- rhorus has been closd by chain of wire netting and by mines.'

ARTILLERY ACTIVE IN WEST

 A German attack north of the Souchez station was easily repulsed, today's French war department state ment says.

Consider the editor. He wear

Lo! All the people breaketh

A child is born unto the wife of
a merchant in the bazaar. The
physician getteth ten golden

he lieth even as a centurion.
And the proud father giveth him

Behold, the young one groweth

Mysterious Instrument Used by the Su-
perstitIous Natives Of Solomon
Islands.

One Of the most extraordinary prac-
tices among the natives of Guadalca-
mar, In the Solomon islands, says Jo-
seph leighton in the Wide World, is
the use of what is known at the "vele,"
which Is supposed TO have the power
Of causing death to the person against
whom 1t is employed. The "vele"
has the appearance Of 2 babys small
wickerwork rattle, and 10 generally
inclosed in little bag, which is again
carefully placed In bamboo box, zeal
ously guarded by the owner.
When the latter wishes to cause the
death of an enemy he takes the "vele"
between the little finger and the sec
ond finger Of the left hand, and then
searches for the object Of his hate,
looking carefully to right and left to
make sure he is observed by no one.
Having found his enemy he stands
at full height, stretching out his arm
and the "vele". toward him, at the
same time turning his face from him,
and kissing out various curses. The
betwitched man then turns to see who
has Kissed The "vele" man then
turns away. holding the 'vele" behind
him, still pointing to his enemy, who
comes running toward him. unconsci-
ously 1t would seem, and staggers
round him.
The "vele" man then turns round,
and with the "vele" makes a move
ment toward his enemy's right and
left breast, knees, toes, the small of
the back. shoulder blades and tenn
pies. The "vele" man then calls to
his enemy to sit up" 60 to the VIII
1age, and say, II have 'veled' you,"
at the same time naming the time
when the "vele" will begin to work.
Such Il the belief in the power Of
the "vele' that at the hour mentioned
a man who has been "veled" Is con-
vulsed In delirium, apparently Of
fright. enduring great pain in the parts
indicated by the "vele" man. Death
very quickly ensues. and when the
"vele" man hears the cries Of mourn
ing he returns to his own village.
No one has ever been able to exs
plain in what mysterious manner the
"vele' acts AZ death dealing instru-
ment, but the key to the mystery
seems to lie In the abnormal super
stition Of the Melanesian native.

TURKEYS DETERMINED STAND.

T,Hkey's determined resistance to the attack
Of tlA Allies on the peninsula of Gallipoll is
Surprising good many Of the military experts.
As a matter of fact, recent Associated Press adj
svices indicate that the best-trained and
Equipped men of the Ottoman empire have been
picked out to guard the Golden Horn from the
attacks of the '.unbeevers. - The Turkish
ministry of war places the total of men under
arms at present at 1920 900.
More conservative estimates in CONSTANT
nople give the number as about 100000. This
Includes 100000 Christians who are being used
for digging trenches and building railways,
roads and bridges.
The actual fighting men are divided into five
armies. The first, encamped at Adrianople and
around Constantinope under Won der Goltz, is
said to BE about 100000 strong. The second.
nnder Djemal Pasha, aims at Egypt with 150,
600 mem The third is located around Bagdad
with $4,000 The fourth, in the Caucasus, num-
hers 10000 while the fifth estimated at some
thing over 100000, is operating in the vicinity
of the Dardanelles.
Probably the best-equipped troops are gath
cred around Constantinople, which is also adj
mirably defended by eoncentric rings of up-to-
date Notifications An excellent battery has
been placed in position Immediately below the
mosque of ST. Sophia.
Although the German advisers of the govern
ment have taken over practical command of
military affairs, they make no attempt to med
die in police and civil matters. The press cen
sorslip for example is under Turkish auspices,
and correspondents. even from Germany, are
handled ruthlessy Thus the correspondents
of the Cologne Zeitung and the Duchess Armee
Zeitung have been interned at Konia, the cor
respondent of the Nueu Freie Presse has been
condemned to years Imprisonment, and the
representative of the Berlin Tageblatt has been
expelled.

is, in effect, what has been told the sugar men.
In the second place, the president is known to
he opposed to a special session of Congress on
account Of the international situation.
He feels. and his few intimate advisers are
also said to feel, that there is no need for Con-
gress and that the American people have had
enough legislation for awhile.
Unless America should become involved in
war and emergency legislation should be neces-
sary a session of the national lawmakers, with
their procivites for making personal and po-
iitical capital out Of every situation, might do
definite harm. No one will deny that the presi-
dent is keeping the Ship of State on remark
ably even keel in view of the heavy weather,
nor does it appear that the gratuitous advice
with which Congress aboundS would help the
chief executive any at this time
Undoubtedly the seamen's bill is going to be
a hard blow to American shipping-already is,
in fact. Bit President Wilson is not inclined
to reverse legislation enacted or even de-
cided upon, and the shipping men will have to
make upra pretty strong case to get Il special
dspensation now.
