pointed ojcers of the Army has been
ordered by the War Department to aid

tions and provide a staff in the sur
-eon generals Office.
A military psychological school Will

tests devised by Maj. YerkeS Of the
Medical Corps to determine their mill

tApproximately . per cent of the
drafted men as they appear in the camp
are so seriously defective in mental
development that they are either men
aces or nuisances in military organ!za-
ton.
"The intelligence ratings of their men
supplied to company commanders great

and effectively using men.

greatly in selection for assignment,

'"The chaos everywhere can be reme-

Half the people want peace, and the
other half are bent on war as the only
possible solution of the problem of

Germany Is making the most of the

Would Appear Again.

Shortly afterward, however. the
Midullu and her sister ship again would
appear. and the game of hide ard seek
between them and the Russians would
go on again until another battle took
place, the Turks in the meantime al
ways having been successful in sinking
numerous cargo boats. ranging from
the smallest fishing craft to goodly
sized steamers.
The latest account of the Sultan

that British airmen had dropped bombs

nelles. the Turkish cruiser Midullu. for
merly the German Breslau, was sunk
and the Sultan Yawuz Selim formerly
the German Goeben, was beached. This
announcement was made by the ad-
miralty last night.
The official statement says:
THE Goeben and Breslau-Turkish
names. Sultan Selim and Midullu-with
destroyers, were in action with the
British forces at the. entrance to the
Dardanelles Sunday morning. The
Breslau was sunk. The Goeben escaped
but has been beached. evidently badly
damaged. at Niagara point in the Mar

THE Goeben now is being attacked
by naval aircraft
Our losses reported are the monitor
Raglan and small monitor, the M-oS'
Fled at Beginning of War.
The German cruisers Bres!au and
Goeben were in the Mediterranean sea
at the outbreak Of the war and fled
into the ardanelles, seeking safety
from the British and French warships
that sought their destruction.
Since then their activities in the Dar-
danelles. at the Black sea entrance to
the Bosporus and in the Black sea
along the Turkish Asiatic. the Russian
and the Rumanian coasts have brought
them fame for intrepidity second not
even to the German sea wolves, like
the Dresden, Seeadler and the Karls-
ruhe.

die OF August. 1914, the British govern
ment Immediately protested against the
German warships being accorded refuge.
and Turkey promised that they would
be fnterned and placed out of commits
sion until the end of the war. Later,
however. it was announced that Turkey
had purchased the cruisers and given
them the new names of Midullu and
Sultan Yawuz Selim
Then followed frequent reports of the
activity of the warships in the Black
sea. bombarding enemy land positions
and engaging or being engaged by
ships of the Russian Black sea fleet.
Although the Turkish and German war
statements frequently announced vic
tories for the re-christened Germans,
the Russian admiralty on numerous oe-
castons told of how Russian warships
had sent them scurrying from the Black
sea into the Bosporus, damaged, on fire
and showing the wounds the Russian
shells had given them.

ALLIES ONLY HOPE
IN RUSSIAN CRISIS
Mrs. Mary Golden Tells Of Un.
happy Situation Faced
by Her People.

Divided by two political elements,
each honestly seeking a solution OF ma
tional problems which have prostrated
the country, Russia stands today ready
to welcome sincere peace. Her armies
can be organized to further effort only
by drastic and unusual steps. but the
prompt aid from the allies will at least
prevent German influence from bearing
profitable fruit.
These are the views OF Mrs. Mary
Golden, native Of Russia, who is today
with her husband at COL Morton street,
after a journey of more than four
months from Russia to the United
States. She reached Washington Friday
after being stopped two months on the
China frontier. Another delay held the
passenger back before sailing for
America. Snowstorms impeded her
progress homeward after she landed in
this country, two weeks ago.
Eight Months in Russia.
Mrs. Golden came from kazan, Rus
sia. where she visited relatives and
girlhood acquaintance for eight
months. She left Washington on her
Trip TO fSuSSld tLdH d SCdi d5o.
Terrible conditions among the Rus
sian peasant people are depicted by
Mrs. Golden. Privation and want face
the common people on every hand. she
testif1es, with no promise of speedy re-
lief Help from America, both to Rus
sia's armies and her people. is a most
needful essential, according to Mrs.
Golden.

jumped out Of reach of the common

hibitive price. Sugar is four times more

Was Center of Attack,

The admiralty report said the former
German cruiser was the center of the
attack and that it was safe to presume
she would be out of action for several
months Is result of her injuries. The
prediction proved true, as the Sultan
Yawuz Selim since then has not been
mentioned in any of the reports as
being engaged The last account of
the Midullu was in June. 1917. when
the Turkish war Office reported that
j vessel In a successful engagement, to-
gether with other Turkish units in the
Black sea, against Russian land posi-
tions and small war craft
Considerable criticism of British and
French naval commanders has at times
been expressed over their failure to
