J.. Barton. secretary of the board said
last night, but he added that no con-
Germ was felt for the safety of the
American missionaries, of whom there
are about 200 in the Turkish field.
Eighty of these are connected with
the American board.
Conditions in Turkey for our rep
resenta tives We're very satisfactory

more satisfactory than month previ-
ously." he said. 81 might say they
were unusually cordial and friendly.
I'VE appreciate that the situation
Is a delicate one but I believe that
Turkey realizes now as never before
that. America is her best friend. This
is the only country that does not
want something from the Turks. They
understand that it is to us they must
come for financial assistance toward
the development Of theif country.
"If the United States should become
involved In the war it is possible
Turkey would declare war upon us.
But in that event 1 do not believe the
Turks would do more. than take pos
session Of our colleges and mission
buildings. They have already done
this in some places. In my opinion
they would not harm our workers."

Millmen's Combination

organization through the agency of
which on December /. the price of
milk was raised to Is cents per quart
is busted" as shown today by the
announcement of a large dairy COM
pany. which is now selling the pro-
duct at ten cents per quart, the old
price. No announcement has yet
been made by other dairymen, but it
is thought possible in the near future
the old 10 cent rate will be resumed
by all.
Last December the milk Dealers in
the city agreed to raise the price Of
milk. claiming that the increased cost
Of production made it impossible for
the dairies to continue business. A
few weeks later some of the dairies
lowered the agreed price of is cents
to IL 12 cents. but none dropped
back to the old figure.

PROHIBITION

House Expected to Pass
Constitutional Dry
Amendment.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Prohibition
took a step forward today in both
branches of congress.
In the senate drastic amendments
TO the postal appropriation bill were
agreed to which would make criminal
the importation of liquor into states
which prohibit its manufacture and
sale for beverage purposes, and which
would exclude liquor advertisements
from the mails in states which legis-
late against such advertising.
On the house side the national
prohibition constitutional amendment
was favorably reported from the ju-
, dietary committee, with a prediction
by Chairman Webb that it would be
passed within a week. Champions of
prohlbition greeted this announce
ment with enthusiasm, in spite of
their realization that passage in the
house will end action on the amend
ment insofar as this session of con-
gress is concerned. There is no
thought Of action by the senate before
March 4. when the sixty-fourth con-

Treaty of 1899 is
Explained to A. P.
by Sec. Zimmerman

Berlin. Feb. 16.-(via London.)-
Foreign Secretary zimmerman in an
informal discussion today with the
correspondent of the Associated Press
explains the amended version of the
American-Prussian treaty of 1893,
through the Swiss government for
the approval Of the United States.
Herr zimmerman declared that
the interning of civilians and the con-
f1scation of private property were pre-.
posterous steps to which his govern
ment was unalterably opposed.
Provisions Broad.
The proposed amended treaty deals
in the broadest manner with the
sonal liberties of German subjects
and United States citizens. The Ger
man proposal would make articles
% and "a Of the treaty effective inn
mediately on the severance Of diplo-
matte relations as well as in the
event Of declaration Of war. and
would extend their protection over all
German merchants in the United
States. but would only affect Ameri-
can merchants in Prussia, not in the
entire German empire.
Guarantees Protection.
A significant section is one guar
anteeing the protection of the sixth
Hague convention, in regard to the
enemy merchant ships, to merchant
men Of both parties as we'll as their
cargoes The provision is extended.
however, to forbid the enforced de-
parture Of such vessels from their
ports without binding pass from all
enemy countries guaranteeing free
voyage to home port The same
protection would also be extended to
the crews Of these ships, and the
treaty would apply. in all particulars,
to the colonies Of both parties.

London, Feb. 16.-The national
cemeteries on the battlefields of the
American Civil War which serve as
permanent reminders to the people Of
the United States of the price which
was paid for freedom, are referred to
frequently in this country in connec-

Especially was this done when the
Prince Of Wales returned from the

that 10000 British graves in France

cemeteries look when the flowers
