Change In German Commanders at
the DaPdanelles.

The recall Of General ILMAN Won
SANDERS. the German officer who has
been directing the Turkish army on
the GallipOli peninsula, at the present
critical stage Of the D~ardanelles op-
erations may be due 10 the wounds
which he recently received or to dis
satisfaction with his services.
1t is very evident that the Teutonic
allies are taking a renewed interest
In these operations and are ndea vor-
ing to strengthen in every way pos
sible the defonces Of Constantinople.
The reports would indicate that Cen
eral Won SANDERS and the Turkish
leader, ENvER Pasha, have not been
working in complete harmony and
that Won SANDERS himself assumed
more authority than ENvER was will
Ing to yield to him. This dissatisfac-
tion with the German commander Is
said to have spread to the army, and
1t was reported that the wounds from
which NoN SANDERS is suffering were
not inflicted by the enemy but by
Turkish troops.
NoN SANDERS has had an unusually
good opportunity to study the Otto
man army, and he is credited with
having done much tn develop It's or
ganlzation and training. His infu-
was shown In the efficiency OF
the mobilization at the time OF the
entrance Of Turkey into the war. He
received his instruction In Turkish
affairs from General Won DER GoLrz.

have been noticed that whereas ''out-

will not see. nor will they admit that
there is anything to be said in extenua-
ton OF her conduct. or that. In similar

As a matter Of abstract right there

PENSIONS FOR TEACHERS.
should This Fund BE Reduced by the
Board of Education?

To THE EDITOR NJ TuE SuS-Str. A
test Of the seriousness of the reported
depletion of the pension fund for retired
teachers under consideration In the
Board OF Education OF this city will
come when the usual monthly payment
Ia due on September /, The withhold
ing of IA portion even Of this allowance
will prove very disquieting to those
to whom the rumor has already come
by way OF the newspapers.
The annual pension. amounting to
about half of the teachers grade salary
at the date OF retirement for perhaps
over 90 per cent. OF those retired. will
average about $3.50, roughly estimated,
not an ~eNtravagant allowance upon
which more than one person. In many
instances, are to subsist,
II should he noted that only
lively recently have the authorities been
made intelligent on the subject of the
essential elements OF any safe and per-
manent basis for pensioning its m
ployees, Meanwhile an important feature
of the existing issue should he consid-
cred IN Justice to those who constitute
the present list of pensioners of the
Board OF Education, namely. that these
teachers up to the date OF legally en-
acted retirement had performed their
share of requirements of a contract en-
tered into by them in absolute trust and
good faith with the city of New York,
by which, IN the payment of certain
sums Of money. &c, they have acquired
an equity which II would seem difficult
to set aside or modify and in the case
Of the teachers Of brooklyn this status
was copper lined and double riv-
eted' by the later act of consolidation.
II IL now conceded ON all sides that a
scientifically reconstructed basis for our
municipal pension funds must he estab-
l!shed. The matter should be in course
of earnest preparation and should be
adopted with as little delay as possible,
II tho comfort n happiness OF many
faithful servItors now retired are en-
titled to consideration.
