SAYS TAR1ARS ARE LOYAL 10 TURKEY
 AND THE BOCAES
Political Situation In the Cau- casus Dangerous for the
 Allies.

Peking, Aug. 28.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)-The poli- tical situation in the Caucasus is full of danger for the Entente allies ac- cording to E. A. Yerrow, chairman of the American committee for Armen- ian and Syrian relief, who arrived in Peking from Tiflis recently.
 From Batoum to the British front in southern Persia the only force op- posed to any German-Turkish ad- vance, is comparatively small num- Der, of Armenians with limited sup plies of food and munition cut off from all communication. with the al lies. On the other hand all the Tar tars are loyal to Turkey and Germany. The Northern portion of Persia, he declared is pro- German and these ele- ments are ready to take hand in the war if equipment and leaders can be furnished them. There is a possibility of this German sympathy extending to Turkestan and Afganistan.
 In the Caucasus and northern Per- sia. MT. Narrow says, the Germans could mobilize at least million men and while they are not especially good fighters they could greatly embarrass the English in southern Persia and Mesopotamia, Two ways are open to combat this menace. namely, strong pressure in Persia and Mesopotamia, and more remote possibility of strik- ing the enemy through Siberia.
 Germans Are In Control.
 "The Germans have the Caucasus and southern Russia" Yarrow contin- ued, "and are pressing on with all sorts of enterprises and making con- quests which require little or no mili- tary force. As they go on they are picking up their war prisoners com patriots and under one guise or an-
 other getting them armed so as to CO., operate when the time comes. The
 Mohammedan races in that region are getting the idea that the German arms are invincible. There is cease

PATRIOTISM AND PER CENT
interest Rate on Fourth Liberty loaF
 Fixed at AZ Per Cent.

Secretary McAdoo has definitely announced that the Fourth Liberty Loan bonds will bear 4N per cent interest.
 The Secretary hes been insistent that the Government interest rate should be stabilized at 4A per cent. Hsspoints out that, a raise in the rate ofiintsrsst of only one-fourth of per cent .pn s1o.ooo, 100000 of Government bond4 would mean an annual increase of $26, ,000, 900 in interest charges, and that this money 'woqldN have to be raised by increased taxation and paid by the people of the country. It would not. be paid by one class only. because there Eares consumption as ,well as other kindsaof takes, and the consumption taxes reach every class of people.

 Der 20,

Every day the newspapers tell of some one or another of the Tanks having been awarded the cross Of war for conspicuous bravery in ac- ton. Every day these same dis patches carry the story of some intre- Did charge against the enemy trench es, the storming of some machine gun nest. the taking of another town of two in desperate hand to hand fighting. And our hearts swell with pride that 1t Is 90. '
 Equally appreciative of their prow- ess are the allied leaders. "You have shown yourselves to be worthy sons of your great country and have gained the admiration of your broth ers in arms" declared General Man. gin the other I.y in an official or der thanking the Tanks for their part in the last great thrust against the Huns.
 General Mangin voiced the senti- ments of the entire membership of the allied general staff. For the Tanks have made good with . ven. geance.
 We are wholly justified in being proud of them. We can look the whole world in the eye. knowing they rank with the finest. We can justly feel again that the traditions of American arms have been upheld: that in the eyes of the world Amer ica no longer stands accused of paci- fism at the cost of honor: of meek submission to the ruthless arrogance of any people drunk with power.
 Once more we may hold up our heads. square our shoulders. take . reef in our trousers and intimate to the world at large that it's a danger. ous ,pastime to tread upon the tail of our coat.
 Thanks to the khaki-clad ranks.
 And shortly we are to have an op. rortunity to prove just how much we value our new-found standing in the eyes of. the world.> To repay. indi. rectly. these restorers or our national Self-respect.'
 sFor'9 the Fourth Liberty Loan is very close at. hand. The campaign will open Sept. 2S and continue for three weeks.
 Make your tribute to their bravery a substantial one. Begin early to prepare for this.

 Mir. Yarrow described conditions ob- taining at the time of his departure about the middle of March, as follows: All communication to Persia has been cut by the local Tartars. The railroad south of Erivan had not been in op- eration for several monts. Officers of the Turkish army were working in this section training the Tartars.
 Railways in Tartars Hands.
 The railroad from Tiflis to Baku was entirely in the hands of the Tar tars and they permitted only an occa- sional train to pass and that subject to the most rigid search at stations en route. From the train following that on which the Yarrow party came out nine con-combatant Englishmen were taken at Elizabetpol and al- though Yarrow remained in Baku ten days they had not been released.

Richard Bennett's New Edition of Damaged Goods" produced by the American Film Company and released through the Mutual Film Corporation. I is the refinement of triumph. The new version of the play rep resents in its completed form MT. Ben- nett's matured version of the drama
 he had in mind when Eugene Brieux's extraordinary book dealing with the social evil struck him with the force
 of trip hammer. The original picture drama Of
 Damaged Goods" was held by critics
 everywhere to be product of extra , ordinary smOOthness and fin1shS sDut
 in the New Edition MT. Bennett has
 outdone himself.
 This drama is. to be shown at the Orpheo Theatre Saturday only. Few neople are aware of the fight in which MT Bennett became involved 1 before he overcame the objections of l the New York managers to production of the original Damaged Goods" in
 this country.
 Having read the book in the orig inal French, MT. Bennett became at once convinced of it's enormous valne. not only as a moral lesson for umhan- l ity but as legitimate dramatic mater
 fal. a;
 In trying to obtain theatre in which to launch the play MT. Bennett encountered innumerable obstacles. 1 He obtained the promise of two the
 atres but tn eowners of both houses l withdrew when they learned that
 Damaged Goods" was to be pre-
 sented, and insisted that the play l could not be produced in this coun- 1 try. Frustrated in his efforts to obtain
 a theatre. Bennett finally succeeded in
 inducing a widely known New York theatrical manager to permit a pri- vate performance fthe play Tn ms own home.
 There was no difficulty about Ben nett's obtaining a theatre after that and the world now knows with what tremendous success the play was pro duced.

THE LIGHT RATE ISSUE

Americas is on the verge of another
light rate fight
This one is precipitated by the pc
tition of the company for an increase
in rates, the raise sought being about
twenty per cent all along the line for
both light and motive power consum-
ers.
Whether or not the company is
justified in seeking raise in rates,
The Times Recorder doubts if there
is a single citizen able to tell
The only tribunal, and the proper
tribunal to decide the issue is the
railroad commission, to which formal
application has been made.
II the people feel that the company
is not warranted in seeking to raise
the rates at this time, it is only meet
that they should oppose the petition
before to the commission, to the extent
of showing facts, such as may be n
their possession, that would authorize
the commission in declining to graht
III Application
Certain 1t is that the commission
will Go the right thing about It tf
it finds that. in view of the heavier
operating expenses the company is
entitled to raise, the commission will,
and should, grant it. If on the other
hand it finds that the company is now
making an adequate profit, the petition
will undoubtedly be turned down.
The matter is one that should be ap-
preached without heat or excitement,
but in a business likeway. We are sure
the company is not trying to put any
thing over We are also convinced
that the consumers only want what is
right-what is just for themselves and
the company. JAstice for all parties
is the end to be attained.
The Times Recorder does not at
tempt to pass upon the merits of the
proposition, because we are not suf-
fciently informed to be able to do so.
We can only await the decision of the
railroad commission, confident that
that body will treat all concerned
with consideration and imlartiality.

THE COMING OF THE CAMP.

ALI Americas is elated over the com
ing of the aviation camp, the establish
ment of which is now assured.
Even the least sanguine must adj
NIT that the location of this camp
here will prove a tremendous asset
for the city and the county. 1t will
infuse new life into both.
The awarding the camp to Americas
is not especially compliment to this
city but tribute to the industry and
perseverance of the gentlemen COM
prising the committee which con-
Quoted the campaign and the nego-
tiations for the camp.
But for their determined efforts,
civic pride in unbounded degree, and
absolute insistence on the merits of
what they had to offer, the camp would
never have been won 1t took two
months of constant endeavor, and a
resourcefulness beyond reckoning.
These gentlemen even went down
into their pockets, not so much in
spirit of speculation and Investment
as TO help their city, and it is due to
them that Americas was finally the
winner.
Credit is also due the mayor and
city council for their loyalty to the
movement, and to their willingness to
cooperate as far as was consistent
with their means and limitations
There is no other aviation camp
this side of Texas, and, of course,
Americas will be point of unusual
interest It will bring tourists here,
for the spectacular novelty it will af-
ford. 1t will also bring nearly three
thousand officers, soldiers, mechanics
and student aviators here, with pay
roll amounting to more than a mil
lion year. The student aviators, it
may be mentioned, represent an un-
usually high caliber of men, most Of
them being college men, many with
independent means.
The camp will promote all lines of
trade in the city. 1t will give the
farmers an opportunity to cultivate
side crops II will increase the city's
population. 1t will put Americas on
the map
No wonder thta the people are re-
ioicingy over the city's good fortune
and over the prospects al

The Lightning.

We often hear of people who are
afraid of lighting. During thunder
storm they are all in a tremble. They
are looking for bolt to knock them
into eternity at any moment. They
will 90 into the house, shut all the win
dows and sometimes jump into bed to
escape the electric flash. We don't
know that they are any more liable to
be struck for being so scared or caut-
ious, but they are certainly no safer.
Lightning is strange force, but it is
governed by the laws as sure as the
fall of a stone or the blooming of a
flower. 1t strikes just where the con-
ditions force it to strike. 1t doesn't
go astray particle. Its track is laid
out for it before it starts; and all we
can do is to sit serenely by and hope
that we are no part of the conditions
that awaken or direct it. The best
thing is to sit quietly and enjoy it. 1t
is often beautiful sight, and that we
can always see and feel if we don't get
scared; if we don't set ourselves up for
the honor of being victim and think
that the Storm King has a bolt ready
to paralize US. Don't be afraid OF
lightning. Have clean heart and that
will give you sufficient courage to defy
the lurid flashes.

DER ton. If the wholesaler is buying in
mixed carloads, or in less than carload
shipments, there is possibly an extra
charge of from fifty cents to one dollar
per ton. Transportation charges also
enter into the final price. but are in
part compensated by the fact that the
basic prices at Western mills are lower
than at those in the Maryland territory.
The retailer, therefore, who has secured
his bran through this most expensive
channel may be entitled to charge as
much as nine dollars and fifty cents
more than the basic price at which the
mill manufacturing the feed in question
was entitled to sell it, in addition tc
whatever transportation charge might
have incurred, or, in other words, al
five dollars and fifty cents more than
the miller would sell to the same indi
vidual consumer.
If, however, the retailer is able to
buy in carload lots and will deal with a
'iobber who will sell to him from the
| mill, the retailer who is paying cash
will secure his mill feed at one dollar
| to one dollar and a half ton in excess
of the basic price at the mill, and
| should therefore be able to sell at a
dollar and half in excess of the price
asked by the miller to the same lndlvl-
dual consumer.

Where the farmer brings his wheat

nine pounds, divided according to a
schedule which the miller has been fur,
