FOURTEEN
REASONS GIVEN
Why United States Should Accept
Mandatory Over Turkey
is Told by College
President.

PARIS (By MaiD.--Dr. Mary Mills
Patrick, president of Constantinople
Girls college, and one OF the best
known American authorities on Tur-
key and the near east, where she
has resided for years, hiss prepared
for The United Press the following
statement of fourteen reasons why
the United States should accept a
mandatory over Turkey:
a
Peace in the near east cannot he
brought about by force, but must
come from within. All the people Of
the near east would welcome an
American mandatory.
II
The Moslems predominant in the
Turkish empire, numbering from
fourteen to fifteen millions, accord.
ing to varying estimates. Should the
allied powers desire to send manda
tory to Turkey, the Turks would pre-.
fer an American mandatory to one
from any other nation for two rea
sons. They think that other nations
would never resign a mandatory
once undertaken, but that America,
having taught the people how to gov
ern themselves, would retire and
leave them their Independence. They
also prefer Am orleans to deal with
because they are more democratic.
III
The Greeks residing in the Turk.
ish empire number about two mil.
lions. They are citizens of the Turk.
ish empire and are called Ottoman
Greeks. unless they as individuals
possess Greek citizenship. The Otto
man Greeks would prefer to live un-
der Greek government. but IL that
is impossible they would warmly vel
come an American mandatory,
w
The Armenfans in the Turkish EN-
pire number approximately one and
a half millions. Whatever arrange.
ments may be, made in regard to an
independent Armenia. there will al
ways be many Armenians In all parts
of Turkey. They regard America aa
their friend and would naturally de.
sire an American mandatory.
v
American methods of government
separate politics and religion. The
union OF church and state lis one of
the greatest causes of discord and
hatred in the near east The re-
moval of political control from all
religious organizations would tend
TO promote peaceful relations be-
tween the different nationalities,
while at the same time both Moham-
medans and christians would be pro-
tected in the free exercise of their
religion.
vi
An American mandatory over Tur-
Key would introduce American meth
DDS of education, which teach people

Vote to Reject Agreement.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27.-Tele-
phone operators on the Pacific coast
have voted to reject the agreement
which ended the recent coast-wlde
strike.
This became known today after the
complete count Of referendum votes
had been made.
The vote, however, represented
only "a very small percentage" OF
the operators.
Some Trains Moving.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 27.-Strik-
ing in defiance of the brotherhood
chiefs, employees of the railroads in
California, Nevada and Arizona had
almost entirely isolated those states
from the rest of the nation today.
Some trains are moving In these
states" declared William Sproule,
district director for the railroad adj
ministration. He admitted. however,
that the tie-up was almost complete.
The strike spread to San Francisco
following mass meeting which was
organized by men opposing the
brotherhood organization.
approximately 1900 men are out
in and about Los Angeles. The num-
Der includes street car men and en-
ployes Of the Pacific Electric. About
thirty-hve men are out at San Diego.
Like numbers are out at Bakersfield
and Fresno. In San Francisco about
1900 men are out, according to labor
leaders.
THE men are not striking" sproule
told the United Press. They are
resigning as individuals. 1t is hard
to ascertain why they are doing this.
They say they arc quitting in sy M
patty with employees OF the Pacific
Electric, but that strike 3 ever
have every confidence the men ere
going out through a misappreheusion
and that when they take counsel
with their advisers they Will return.
There is no adequate reason for
their action. So far as the govern
ment is concerned It is universally
conceded its attitude unwarrunts
anything but reliable service BY tho
men,"
Reports from Los Angeles to-day
were that service on the Pacific
Electric was almost normal"
w. R. Scott, federal manager Of The
Southern Pacific, said no men had
been discharged because they had
refused to move freight to and from
the Pacific Electric in Los Angeles.
Suburban service out of San Fran |
cisco and Oakland was being main !
tained. Sproule said.

SOUTH DAKOTA ESTATE GOES
TO STATE; ST. PAUL MAN
LOSES SUIT IN SUP. COURT

Sioux Falls, S. D.-By a decision OF
South Dakota supreme court, Har.
|rison T. Winters, of st. Paul, loses out
in an attempt to secure 10000 worth
of property belonging to the estate of
the late George Winters of Yankton
county. BY the decision of the supreme
court the estate goes to the state Of
South Dakota. Thus ends a celebrated
identity case. sa
The st. Paul man sought to prove
that George Winters was his long lost
brother and won his case in the first
trial in the Yanston county circuit
court. Then the state learned that
George Winters died in 1902 in the
poorhouse at Gayville. near Deadwood.
Attorney General G. c. Caldwell went
to Deadwood anu Investigated and Sc
cured a new trial Of the case before
Judge Trip. Again the circuit court
held with the st. Paul man and the
state appealed to the supreme court,
which finally ordered a review before
Judge Trip, holding in effect that the
states contention that the Lawrence
county Winters was in reality the miss
ing brother was true.
When the case was called for review
Ia day or two ago the st. Paul man did
not put in an appearance and judg-
ment was entered against him.
