This statement is made by the In

gates Of this. society have visited
many depots Wherein British, French
and Indian officers are placed and
they report that it must be recognized
that the Turkish authorities had
hardships Of these officers In cap
tiytty. The report says:
In general the best hotels and prf-
vate houses have been placed at the
disposal of the British and French
officers With some exceptions, the
officers have not made any COM
plants as to their lodgings and food.
As for the soldiers, the question is
different. We know that the Turkish
soldiers are subjected to the same re-
gime; they are content with very lit
tie, endure the greatest privations and
are accustomed to the smallest
amount of nourishment. The Euro
peans, principally those coming from
Kut, have been SO weakened by the
marches across the desert that one
can understand their restoration to
health would be rendered difficult by
an insufficient diet. When, as at At
ium Karahissar, they have to work,
their strength is taxed to an extent
which is not in proportion with their
power of resistance. This implies no
blame on the Turkish authorities, but

satisfactory but the quantity rather
too small. The delegates received an
assurance from the Turkish high
command that the prisoners shall not

hours a. day; they receive exactly the
same food. as, the Turkish soldier.

extremely satisfied with the arrange

William I. Saunders of New York,
chairman of the naval consulting
board, startled the nation and the rest
of the world by asserting that solu-
ton Of the submarine problem prob
ably had been found.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, with
whom Mr.. Saunders consulted, said
that while no Information would be
made public as to the nature of ex-
periments which have been in pro-
gress, he was satisfied that American
ingenuity eventually would check the
undersea boats.

author, was elected by the American

sorry board He is one of America
