BRITAIN ALONE CAN
WIN WAR, He CLAIMS
Lloyd George Says Allies Have
Borne Burden Long Enough
John Bull Must Fight.

London, Sept 1S,--That the central
powers still have an overwhelming
superiority in all the material and
equipment of war and that the allies,
to win, must put forth all their
strength, is the statement made by
David Lloyd George, minister of mu-
nitions, in the preface of a book con-
tanning his speeches since the outbreak
of the war entitled Through Terror
to Triumphs." He says:
"The allied countries have an over
whelming preponderance in the raw
material that goes to the making of
equipment of armies, whether In men,
money or accessible metal and ma
chinery, but this material has to be
modified and utilized.
How many people in this country
fully appreciate to it's full Significance
the Russian rout? For over II
months, Russia, despite deficiencies in
equipment, has absorbed the energies
OF half the German and four fifths of
the Austrian forces. Is it realized that,
time being, Russia has made this con-

Turks Decin1ated by Long
Campaign Are in Serious
Plight: End May Be Near

Athens, Sunday, Sept. IL, (via Paris,
Sept. 14.)-An American citizen Of
standing in Athens has received ad-
vices from Constantinople, which, he
says are trustworthy, that the situa-
ton Of the Turkish army and govern
ment Is unfavorable. According to this
information the position of the Turkish
forces defending the Dardanelles is
precarious. 1t Is said the Turkish
front, thinned by the heavy losses
which the fighting has entailed on both
sides, Is finding 1t increasingly diff
cult to hold the lines against the
French and British.
Turkeys position at sea Is described
as Instantaneous. The former
German cruisers Goeben and Breslau
are said to have been incapacitated,
while the Russian fleet preys upon
Turkish shipping.
According to this information, Turk
ish affairs are under the control of a
triumverate with autocratic powers,
consisting OF Enver Pasha, minister Of
war; Taalat Bey, minister of the in
terror, and Bedri Bey, chief Of police
of Constantinople. Dissatisfaction
among the Moslems Is reported and 1t
is said Shiek VI Islam was dismissed
because he did not approve OF measures
taken against the Armenians. The COM
mittee of union and progress is report
ed to have been virtually superseded by
q secret committee which Is responsible
to the wishes Of the triumverate.

CLAIM ENVER PASHA
HAS CORNER ON FOOD

London, Sept. 13-Conditions in Con-
stantinOple are described as chotio
by Reuters correspondent at Athens,
who bases his dispatches on state
ments made by persons arriving in
Athens today from the Turkish capital
The correspondent telegraphs:
The inhabitants 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, minis
ter Of the interior, has cornered all
commodities and Is selling them at
high prices.
The resignation from the cabinet Of
the Sheik VI Islam, representative Of
the sultan in religious affairs, is con-
firmed. He disapproved of the ex-
termination Of the Christian elements.
against which he protested to the cab
met.
The Greek Armenian patriarch has
been deprived Of all powers.
THE Black sea end of the Bosphorus
has been closed by a chain Of wire net
ting and mines"

Armenians are being shipped to con-
centratlon camps at various points, be-
ing driven afoot or forwarded in box
cars. He adds that the earlier mas
Saeres of Christians in Asia Minor are
being duplicated in the present in
stances, and that in some cases only
comparatively small part of the ex-
pelIed Armenians reach the concentra-
ton camps alive. Henry Morgenthau,
American ambassador at CONSTANT
nople, has eXerted every effort to pro-
tect the Armenians, but apparently his
endeavors have been unaVailing. It is
stated that American women who at
tempted to go with the reguees to look
out Tor Armenian children were turned
back, and that number Of young Ar
menian girls, who were students at the
American college at Constantinople,
fell into the hands of the Turks.
Owing to the interruption Of sea
transportation it is almost impossible
to purchase coal in Constantinople,
and wood is being used for locomotives
The crops were good, but it has been
almost impossible to harvest them.
Petroleum costs 81 a gallon, and the
price Of sugar has increase seven fold.
The Americans information states
that the agreement said to have been
reached between Turkey and Bulgaria
has not effected a definite settlement Of
relations, but that to the contrary the
Turks are hastily erecting defenses
against the Bulgarians.

tribution to the struggle for Euro
pean freedom, and that we cannot for
months to come expect the same help
from the eastern armies we have
hitherto received? Who Is to take the
Russian place while those Russian
armies are re-equipping? Who Is to
bear the weight which has hitherto
fallen on Russian shoulders?
France cannot be expected to sus-
tain much heavier burdens than those
she now bears with a quiet courage
which has astonished and moved the
world. Italy is putting her strength
into the fight. There is only Britain
left.
rs Britain prepared to fill up the
gap that will be created when Russia
retires to the rear? Is she fully pre-
pared to cope with all the possibilities
of the next few months in the west
without forgetting the east? Upon the
answer will depend the liberties Of
Europe for many generations"

BURNING STEAMER
SAID TO Be SAFE
Liner, With 1900 italian Re-
SerViStS Aboard, May Have
Been Victim of Plot,
Is Rum0r.

New York, Sept. 13.-The Fabre
line steamship SAINT Anna, which was
on fire in midocean, Is safe and pro-
ceeding under escort to the Azores,
according to a wireless message re-
ceived at the lines local office today.
The message was from the cap
tain Of the SAINT Anna, and came
via Cape Race. 1t read:
Fire in hold 2. Fire is out.
Proceeding to Azores. Escorted by
Ancona."
New York, Sept. 13.-The steamship,
SAINT Anna, bound from New York to
Marseilles and Naples, with some 1900
Italian reservists aboard, was atire to-
day in the Atlantic, three or four days
sail from the nearest port.
A wireless message that reached the
station at Cape Race late last night
brought the flrt news Of her plight. 1t
give her position as, latitude 1923
north, longitude 47.30 west, or about
$50 miles southwest Of Halifax.
Efforts by the agents of the Fabre
Line, to which the steamer belongs, to
obtain further information, had failed
during the early morning and grave
fears were entertained here for the
safety Of the vessel and her passengers.
When the Santana sailed from
New York, on September 8, she carried
q cargo consisting largely OF foodStuffS.
According to her owners here there
were no arms or ammunitlons aboard.
The Italians, gathered from every
port of the United States, and return
ing home to join the army, were in the
steerage. Comparatively few pas
sengers were carried in the first and
second cabins. The crew numbered
about 100
1t was said today that the sailing of
the Santana from this port was de-
layed "a hours to permit a thorough
search because the suspicious of her
officers had been aroused by rumors
that bomb had been placed aboard.
The message from the Cape Race
wireless station as received here via
Halifax, was flashed abroad on the At
lantic, and without doubt was picked
up by vessels within easy sail Of the
steamer in distress.
D. II. E. Jones, senior partner Of the
firm of James w. Elwell & Co, loca
agents of the Fabre line, said he was al
a loss to understand why Capt. Fran
els Pavey, of the SAINT Anna, had no.
communicated with the office here il
his ship was actually on fire or in dis
tress in any way.
The SAINT Anna sailed from New
York on September for Naples, Genoa
and Marseilles with II first class, A.
second class and 1,703 steerage passen-
gers. With few exceptions all OF thu
steerage passengers were Italian re
serVists, who had come to New Yorl
from all parts of the United States.
Among the first cabin passengers are
Mrs. A. Leland GambinOssi and Mis-!
G. Leland Gambinossi, of San Fran
cisco.

the great shipments recently brought
here from England via Halifax to help
establish credit in this country to
pay for the purchase of war munitions
by Great Britain.
