This is the way in which the gang

addressed to q Territorial, suspecting
that there was something in IT more
than Q letter. Their suspicious were
justified, for they discovered four
packets Of a grayish powder wrapped

bore the following message:

he to The Washington Herald.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
Constantinople, April 1o.-When war
started between Turkey and the allies,
an official communique was issued de-
claring that henceforth the postoffice
would stop all correspondence which was
not written in Turkish, Arabic, French
or German.
The first protest came from the Ar
menian patriarch, who argued that he
could not communicate with the priests
IN the provinces in any of the permitted
languages and thus fulfill his religious
mission. Then protested the Greeks, who
number millions in the Turkish empire.
Bulgaria pointed out that this was not
fair treatment for a friendly govern
ment. She was followed by the Italian
and American ambassadors.
The Turkish government seemed to rec
ognize the fairness of these representa-
tons, for a new communique was issued.
reading as follows:
Apart from the already mentioned Ian
Euages, the postoffice is allowed to carry
correspondence written in Armenian.
Greek, Bulgarian, Italian. and AmeH-
can languages"
Thus the American language" is for

that drivers ineligible to participate in

unable to send cars because of the war.
was received here with deep equanim-
ity.
A. c. Newly, a director Of the speed
way. and originator Of the 1.0o0-mile
idea, stated: This isn't the first time
the speedway has been laughed at They
laughed at us when we built our track
They laughed again when We announc-
ed a purse of $4,000. We are quite
content to let them laugh, therefore.
When Wen be through we'll have the
last laugh, as usual
Newby's title for the new event, by
the way, is Speedway Winners Invita-
tional Futurity. 1t will be held, he
says, provided the deal goes through,
in place Of the regular event in 1917
or 1918. No less than nve teams will
be allowed to participate, possibly
more. At any rate, when held, it IL
anticipated that all the car builders
eligible will be back in the racing
game. also that the war will be over to
allow foreign entrants to compete. The
plan. therefore. seems perfectly feasi-
ble
