IT WAS HIS OWN FIGHT.
g. PIueky Envsr Pasha Wanted tn,
Scrap All to Hinseeif.

g PIueky Envsr Pasha Wanted the
Scrap All to Himself.
have known Enver Pasha for some
years now, said British vice consul
to 4 traveller who writes to an OK
change. The beginning Of our friend
ships dates from the Young Turk reve-
luton Of 1908. On the morning that
the revolution broke out In CONSTANT
nople went to the baxaars with Q
guard Of marines to see that the shops
Of British subjects were not attacked.
! found the Hindus unmolested, but
the shops Of the Armenians, Jews,
Syrians and Greeks were being ruth
lessly plundered, and observed men
dead or wounded lying on the pave
ment or across the doors of shops they
had tried to defend. The climax was
reached when hulking trooper came
staggering out over the body Of muir
dered Armenian rug merchant, carry
ing sack of loot In one hand and with
the other dragging by the hair half
senseless girl Of fourteen or fifteen.
Four or FIVE companions, all loot laden
and yelling, reeled after him.
/ had been ordered to refrain from
interfering, except to protect British
subjects, and l was still hesitating
when an Ottoman cavalry officer gal
loped up, leaped from his horse and
flung himself upon the soldier A
vicious saber cut, shearing through the
turban and scalp. sent the hulking
wretch to the pavement. Instantly the
youthful Galahad stopped to raise the
like spring that he was able to oppose
any guard to descending saber that
one of the other looters aimed at the
exposed back Of his neck.
A moment later he had backed into
an angle of the wall and was calmly
meeting the furious but i'll directed at
tack of the ruffianS.
l wish the fight could have gone on
to finish, for so coolly and adroitly
did the young officer stand his ground
that am confident he would have out
matched his clumsy assailants. But
my jackies got out of hand and start
ed in to equalize contest that out
ragged their sense of craftsmanship.
The Bazoukies scattered at the sight
of the ominously leveled bayonets, but
it was a very angry Turkish officer
who strobe up to the big sergeant of
marines and in vouble French de-
manded to know what he meant by
mixing up in another mans fight.
II am X. Of the British embassy" l
interposed in halting Turkish. "The
, marines thought you were in danger
and with the best of intentions tried to
/ create diversion in your favor"
II am Enver, captain In the Young
Turk army" he replied sufay In pre-
else English. "In the circumstances
your apology is accepted. As you and
these men appear to have wandered
away from that portion Of the city
where protection has been provided
for foreigners, may I not requite your
kindness by conducting all Of you safe
| ~ back to the British embassyY'
And, In spite Of my protests to the
contrary, come he did. But he unbent
on the way, and our meeting Of that
morning was the beginning Of warm
friendship.
Striking Thought.
do you think that the automobile
win displace the horse?" asked the
: conversational young woman.

young man as he gazed down the road,

a bill introduced in the legislature last
week to grant the Maine Central Railroad
Co. charter for an extension OF its line
from Bancroft to Houlton. The claim is

would offer. The charter asked for by the
Maine Central would practically parallel
the route already surveyed and pushed out
by the Eastern, and on which construction
will begin in the spring. The entire route
OF the Eastern would bring the road

Army Officers
 Cautioned OUer
 Their Uniforms
,By Review Leased wire.J

PARIS, Aug. 27-American officers have put aside their caps and are wearing regulation broad brimmed campaign hats. Those who carried canes no longer do so in accordance with detailed dress instructions just issued in general orders.
 "The conditions under which our troops are serving in Europe" the Or ders begin, ''are such as to require the most scrupulous observance of uniform regulations. Not only is the disciplin- ary effect of mixed and careless dress bad, but the conspicuous position in a foreign land which our officers and men occupy makes every slouchy off cer and man a reflection on the whole American army
 Various paragraphs from the detail ed orders follow:
 "Officers will wear the regulation service hat and service coat. Square or bellows pockets in the coat are un- authorized and will not, be worn.
 At drill and in the campaign the olive drab shirt will be worn. Off cers at brigade or higher headkuarters and officers on leave or detailed duty are authorized to wear white shirts with collar and cuffs.
 Boots with lace through their entire length are authorized only outside of French cities or in indictment weather
 When in uniform all officers will wear the Sam Brown's belt, except when serving in the trenches, when leather or web pistol belts will be worn. At meals in quarters officers sabres will not be worn. Pistols will be worn at all times in the trenches, otherwise as required by local com manders. Canes may be carried in the trenches only.
 The importance of saluting never has been properly impressed upon our officers and men, Every soldier should have carefully explained to him the meaning of this salute and the import ance of properly saluting, especially the officers of the allied armies. This also applies to field clerk and civilian empoyes in uniform. Officers will be most punctilious about saluting their superior and returning the salute of enlisted men.
 this matter of uniform and saluting as one in which the pride of every mem Der of the American expeditionary forces compels to neatness, smartness and attention to personal appearance, which in all armies invariably accom- pany discipline and efficiency"

being sought in the joint discussion of the empires foreign affairs.
 This virtually dispenses with the bundesrat committee on foreign reia- ions which was credited at the wish If Bavaria, the second largest state in the federation.
