Turkey to Adopt Tariff.

Constantinople. - Correspondence
of The Associated Press. Turkey is
about to adopt its first tariff law un-
hindered by foreign interference. Up
to the outbreak Of the war the govern
ments hands were bound by obliga-
lions undertaken in connection with
the public debt, so that it was not able
to change its tariff without the consent
of the great powers, which found it to
their interest to keep the Turkish
duties as low as possible. For many
years they kept them at eight per cent
ad valorem and lower. Turkish states
men often pointed out that the duties
were too low to yield sufficient rev.
enue, and the government long de-
manded their consent for an increase.
Germany gave its consent about fiji
teen years ago, but England and
France refused till several years ago,
when they agreed to an increase to II
per cent. Soon after Turkey joined the
central powers and entered the war,
the government denounced the So
called "capitulations," or arrange
ments which gave the foreign powers
special rights in Turkey, including
their control over the tariff system.
After waiting more than a year the
government has now brought in a bill
for revising the tariff II is, for most
articles, very moderate measure,
fully two-thirds of the duties ranging
between only 10 and Is per cent Most
other articles range between 20 and so
per cent, and few are as high as 100
per cent. These highest duties are in
tended for the protection of agricul-
ture and some manufactured goods.
There is a small free list, which in
cludes school books not bound and
other educational supplies. Agricul-
tural machinery is also put on the
free list in the interest of the farmers.
Among dutiable articles there is no
uniform tendency to increase duties:
in fact, about one-sixth Of the list
shows even lower duties than are now
1aid.

Several Years An Editor.
Mr. Lloyd for several years was edi-
tor of Irishleabher Ma Gaedh1ige (The
Gaelic JournaD, and is author of some
forty contributions to the study of
Irish archaeology and literature. He
is a native speaker of Irish and has
devoted his life to the preservation OF
the Irish language and Irish traditions.
He has lost his position as an indirect
result of the recent insurrectlon IN
! Dublin, as a result of which his ser
vices are now available.
AS Professor Schoepperle writes, it
is a rare combination of circum-
stances that makes Mr.. Lloyd's accept
ance of the Fellowship possible. What
renders the opportunity still more re-
markable is that scholars have for
years been wishing Mr.. Lloyd to I'M
dertake the translation of certain
Gaelic collections. He has been able
to do only scraps of the work owing
to pressure of other duties. He is the
one man in the world who has the lin
guistic knowledge necessary for the
task. which requires command of a
great number of Gaelic dialects and
of the language of Ireland from the
earliest to the latest periods.
! The Fellowship club committee has
undertaken the work of guaranteeing
the salary of Professor Lloyd. This
will amount to $1,000 for one year
Members of the Irish Fellowship club
and others interested in furthering the
project of contributing to fund for
this purpose The response to the
committees appeal for funds has been
highly gratifying. Already moiety
of the amount required has been hand
ed over to Professor Schoepperle to
enable her to complete the necessary
arrangements for the coming of Mr.
Lloyd.

Southey'S Industry.

Southey probably deserves to rank
as the most industrious of authors. In
the greater part of his life he spent
fourteen hours i day in composition.
He had six tables in his library He
wrote poetry at one, history at anoth-
er, criticism at third, and so on with
the other subjects upon which he was
engaged He once described to Nine
de Stael the division of his time-two
hours before breakfast for history, two
hours for reading after. two hours for
the composition of poetry. two hours
for criticism, and so on through all his
working day. And pray, Mr.. South

Generous donation by the general
public of Rock Island during the last
two weeks has made the prospect for
the special observance of the Fourth
of July at Long View park under di-
rection of the Independence Day asso-
citation very bright. Report was made
at meeting of the organization held
last night at the Rock Island club to
the effect that large part OF the DO
nation needed had been collected.
However, it is necessary still, to col
lect a substantial amount to round out
the fund and members of the associa-
ton started out today in final effort
to complete their work. Through dill
gent effort, coupled with the aid which
such a project is bound to receive at
the hands of the public, sufficient mon
ey, it is thought, will be turned in to
make success of the biggest and finest
public demonstrations ever seen in
Rock Island.
All members of the association,
working in conjunction with the
finance committee, are at work on the
proposition and because Of the time
and money they have devoted to it,
the consensus of opinion is that all
who have not donated, will be glad to
dig down deep and give literally to-
ward the purchase of fireworks. Ex-
pectation is that at least $4,000 people
will be privileged to view the gorgeous
spectacle to be presented during the
afternoon and evening, together with
splendid program of band music, in
terspersed with drills by boy scout or
CARNATIONS.
Will Determine Future.
Never before has Rock Island at
tempted such an amusement, and
therefore on this observance of the
Fourth, depends the course to be pur-
sued in future years. Any contribu-
ton, however small, will be received
gratefully, for it is the wish of the or
ganiZatiOn to have the backing of ev-
cry citizen. 1t is not intended that
any individual be burdened, making ii
necessary to acquire the amount need

upon for donation, rest assured you
are missing the big opportunity to
support worthy cause and that you
ought to contribute voluntarily to the

AUSTRIAN paper
SLAMS AMERICA
Makes Serious Charges Against United
States in It's Policy With Mex.
lean Government.

Vienna, Tuesday, June 2S.-The Tag
blatt, the first Austrian newspaper to
comment on the Mexican situation, ex-
presses the opinion that the United
States is committed irretrievably to an
imperialistiC policy which aims at the
annexation not only of Mexico but of
all Central America. 1t regards the
present situation as merely the logical
outcome of the imperialistic policy
which it says was begun under the
Cleveland administration and to which
the United States became welded by
the Spanish-American war.
The Tagblatt suggests that the un-
rest in Mexico since the Diaz regime
has been fomented secretly by Amer
lean money in order to create a situa-
ton which appears TO warrant inter-
ference, ostensibly in the interest Of
peace. To whatever causes the sue
cession of revolutions may be trace
able, says the Tagblatt, the American
policy in any event is little short of
bouquet of personal flowers" for
President Wilson at this time, handed
TO MN just al the moment he desired
to begin his campaign. The newspa-
per gives the president credit for de-
string to maintain peace but believes
that II he should give in to Mexico in
the slightest degree tantaIized Ameri-
can Iingoism would simply sweep him
out Of sight. The whole situation, the
Iagblatt continues, may mean the in
auguration OF doctrine to parallel
the Monroe doctrine, namely, Latin
America for Latin-Americans."
Having established, as it believes,
the existence of an overwhelming i'm
periallstic and anneXationist policy in
the United States the Tagblatt pro-
ceeds to criticise it severely-not be-
cause 1t is wrong but because the
United States is unprepared for war
and because typical American haste in
TINS case has become premature pre-
cipitation.
Inc professor of the great and good
IDEAS and his country are about TO be
graVely disappointed He believed il
possible to make Mexico his prev bv
peaceable means. Now he stands in
danger OF an incalculable war. Who
knows whether ii can be prevented"
