ASSASSIN IN NEW
REVOLT, IS REPORT

AMSTERDAM. July 6.-That thedeath
OF the Sultan OF Turkey was due not
to natural causes. but was part Of the
revolutionary movement in the empire
is the report reaching here from a
source usually authoritative.
1t had been generally accepted that
the Sultan had the support and in
dorsement Of the young mems party,
that is in control of the Ottoman en-
pire. The belief here is that a move
ment to overthrow this party has be
gun, and that the first act was the
removal OF the Sultan.
Emperor Charles of Austria has
sent to the new Sultan a message
lauding the "unconquerable bravery of
our armies" that has strengthened
our alliance with Germany and Bull
garia-"
THE wise political ideas which
characterized the reign now closed
were also its glory" the message con-
tinued. They indicate a path leading
to final victory and greatness for the
Ottoman empire. 1 extend warmest
wishes for the prosperity OF your reign
and for a brilliant future for your
people"

FINS FOR A oEsERTER.
The End Of His Story Which Davis
Himself Never Knew.

THE Deserter," which was pub
lished in last Sundays Standard
and which Is, by the way. a story
worth reading-was the last story
Richard Harding Davis ever wrote. He
died before he had a chance to learn
the sequel.
There really was "Mr Hamlin.'
although that Of course was not his
name, which only those concerned In
the episode knew. The Uncle Jim
Of the story Is James H. Hare, the
veteran war correspondent: John. the
artist, Is John T. McCutcheon, Of Chi
cago: and Billy the kid is William G.
Shepherd Of the United Press. 1t is
Shepherd who tells the part Of the
story Davis never knew. You will find
it in his Confessions Of War Cor
respondent" Just published by Harp
er's.
The Davis story ends with Hamlin
going back to his regiment. He had
intended to desert-had even shaved
his mustache-but Davis talked him
out Of 1t. Hamlin knew. and the
American newspapermen knew, that
the shaving off Of his mustache and
the overstaying Of his leave would
lose him his stripes.
Two weeks afterward-Davis had
meanwhile sailed for the United
States-McCutcheon, Hare and Shep-
herd had q note from Hamlin. He
was on his way to the hospital at
Alexandria. He had letter TO his
girl In New Orleans and wanted
them to mail it for him so that the
censor would not get his eye on 1t.
Three months later Shepherd. in
London, ran across Hamlin, on the
Strand. He had on sergeant's stripes
once more and wore distinguished
service medal. At Alexandra he had
been operated on: then he was re-
turned to England to a convalescent
hospital in Manchester. When he
was released he was notified that his
rank had been restored, and that a
medal had been awarded him for dis
tinguished service on the field-he
had "rolled out between the trenches
like a barrel and brought in a
wounded man.
do you know what this ribbon
means" he asked Shepherd. 1T
means I'm a kings sergeant. l have
not been promoted by any ordinary
routine. My papers say that his ma
jesty. the king, appointed me a SER
geant in his majestys army. And
nobody can remove me but the king.
And IL get into any kind Of trouble
any time, Pye got a right to go 20
RpckinGham- -palace and appeal 10 the
king himself"
Gee" he went on. That was a
long time coming. And II 1t hadn't
been for you fellows in Saloniki I'd
have missed 1t. ] never can
thank Davis and you fellows enough
for steering me the right way"
The news Of Davis's death shocked
him. Then he still thinks I'm yell
low" he said.
IF he thinks at ALL" Shepherd told
him. "he knows now that you're all
right"
So they separated-the Deserter to
go back to France-back to the war.

ber of the interstate commerce COM
mittee. In addition to appropriating
35oo,O0o.o0O and providing for the
compensation basis under which the
government guarantees an aggregate
return Of some $s00.000,000 a year,
the measure sets forth In detail the
condition upon which government
operation is to be carried on.
Under the last provision the presi-
dent Is expected to issue an order
transferring to Director General Nc
Adoo all functions vested in the chief
executive. This will enable the direc-
tor general to organize a corporation
for handling railroad securities in ac-
cordance with a plan now under con-
sideration.,
Railroad officials are expected to
urge a number Of notifications Of the
accounting method prescribed by the
bill for reaching the standard return
basis, but officials expect the scheme
as outlined in the bill probably will
be followed in the main. Some dis
cussion is looked for over the bills
provision that new Federal taxes un-
der the war revenue act are not to
be charged against the revenue in
computing the standard return as are
ordinary taxes The effect Of this
will be to require railroads to pay
war taxes out Of their governmental
compensation.
Broad Power Over Roads.
The broad power which the admin
istration would have over the roads
IL illustrated by the bills provision
that the president might order any
extensions or improvements and ad-
vance funds necessary for these. The
procedure in such cases would be for
the road to issue bonds to finance the
improvements and these bonds would
be absorbed by the government re-
volving fund. Director General Nc
Adoo already has indicated that he
will not hesitate to order new lines
built, or adequate terminal or other
facilities constructed wherever they
are thought necessary.
Great significance was seen by con-
gressional leaders in the section pro-
viding for acquisition and operation
OF water transportation facilities. Ad-
vocates Of barge transportation on in
land rivers and canals have conferred
with the director general within the
past week and received his assurance
that water transportation would be
given attention as soon as he has
time to take up the question.
If congress passes the bill with a
$500, 100000 appropriation this sum
will have to be raised by issue Of ad-
ditional Liberty bonds unless it should
become apparent that economies un-
der the government pooling system
are sufficient to counter balance spe-
cial expenditures and to meet pos
sible deficit in this years earnings
under the standard return.

A JOURNEY IN GEOGRAPHY.
A Short Sketch Of Pskov, an Import.
ant Russian City.

ant Russian City.
Pskov, the halfway city between
Riga and Petrograd, and a strategic
point Of prime importance. Is describ-
ed in today's war geography bulletin
Of the National Geographic Society as
follows:
The capital OF q province of the
same name, and one OF the most an
cient cities Of the Russian empire.
Pskov, with a population Of $4,000, lies
directly in the path Of a German land
advance upon Petrograd from Riga.
Pskov is situated on both banks OF
the rivers Velikaya and Pskova at their
confluence. It is divided into four
quarters, the oldest and most impor-
tant being the kremlin, surrounded by
white limestone walls In fair state OF
preservation in spite Of the fact that
they have been standing for more than
eight centuries.
Petrograd lies to the northeast OF
Pskov q distance Of III miles by rail,
and Riga is almost the same distance
to the southwest. The town lies nine
miles south of Lake Pskov into which
the Velikaya flows.
For more than a thousand years
Pskov has been trading post for
merchants OF south Europe seeking an
outlet to the Baltic by way Of the ma
tural channel Of the Velikaya. AS early
as ss2 the town was united with Its
sister trading center Of Novorod. 125
miles to the northeast, to form a
bishopric. after which both places grew
apidly in Importance and wealth.
