LONDON, Sept. IA British resident
Of Constantinople, newly arrived in Lon
don, declares the Turkish capital is much
stirred by talk of an American mandate
over Turkey and says the natives are
not enthusiastic over the prospect This
traveller says that in some ways the
prospect OF an American mandate isn't
helping the situation any.
Many Americans are sincere about
wanting to help the backward peoples.
but their sincerity isn't based on ex-
perience," he says. "Shsy are so affect
ed by talk of ideals that II gives them a
feeling of superiority over the European
nations who are guided by more prac-
tical things and who have the difficult
ties of the past to draw upon, and who
know that in the East words Ike democ-
raey and liberty are not yet understood.
Zone cannot help feeling that the
American solution of the Turkish prob
lem will be possible only after It Is made
clear that there cannot be found Eu-
ropRan Power or group Of Powers to
take the responsibilities In Turkey.
Troops must be kept there for years a
work that is now being done ehisfiy by
British sarrisons"

at Fort Delaware.
specidi Despatch TO THE srS.


wAsHIssToN, Sept. t.--waste and ex-
travasance by the Ordnance Department
of the army to the extent Of more than
sic, 100000 In the construction of load
ing plant at Fort Delaware are charged
by Lieut.. -Coi. r. II. Hawkins In a men,
orandum submitted to the House COM
niittee investigating War Department
expenditures.
Although the original estimate for the
plant was S1,25o,0O0 to $780, 900 Lieut.
Col. Hawkins asserts that $4,000, ,000
has been expended on It. No shells ever
were loaded by the plant and It Is not
yet completed. he adds, despite the large
expenditure. secretary Baker recently
asked Congress TO authorize the expeh.
diture OF s1s5.000 for the purchase OF
additional land at Fort Delaware. Unl
warranted salaries to employees at ths
plant constituted part. of the large ex'
penditures there, but Lieut. Col Haw
kins bianies the extfavagance, which h,
says "borders on graft" on the cost plui
contract system adopted by the Wal
Department whereby contractors were
allowed pront of 10 per cent. on theft
SDsts.
The sun., 1919-09-02

This was a month before the Ordnance
Department let Its contract for the
plant. Even the president OF the Ley
company protested against the Site"
Major Foster then cited some of the
salaries paid by the Ley and Rockwell
companies About two weeks after the
cost plus contract was let Major Fos-
ter says the construction managers sal
ary was Increased from s3,e40 to $500,
another super manager" from $4,000
to $4,000. an assistant from $4,000
to $4,000. the treasurer from st,S00 to
$4,000. the assistant treasurer from
s2,0sO to $4,000, the chief engineer
from $500 to $4,000,
All ADDED to the Cost.
Commenting ON these salaries and in
creases Major Foster says: please
bear In mind that all these salaries do
not come out of the loading company s
fee. The Government pays them and
then pays 10 per cent. on top of them.
Bear In mind that while the spirit of
the contract, II not the actual wording
Of II, cohtempiates that the loading COM
pany shall itself bear the expense of
the designing of the plant as part OF
the service for which 1t is being paid
10 per cent on the total cost. the de-
| signing has been charged as a construc-
tion expense and the Government thus
not only pays for 1t but pays 10 per
cent. on top of it.
The loading plant was not completed
in time to load any shells before the
signing OF the armistiee. A Town built
to house 10000 people. with moving pic
ture houses and everything. was scarcely
occupied. Such buildings have been com
pleted and are used for storage purposes
while an effort Is being made to sell the
town. which Is some Ave miles from the
plant and apparently contiguous TO nc
large city OF Industrial plant The eight
and half miles of railway which has
been built, but right of way for which Is
still pending In the courts. Is useless ex.
cept in the event the loading plant shall
be completed and used for that purpose.

SOCIALISTS SPLIT
OYER RADICALS BAN
John Reed, One Of so Seceders,
Ousted for Good From
Chicago Convention.

CHICAGO, Sept. i.--Discord IN the So
ciaiist party increased to-day when Right
Wing delegates TO the party's national
emergency convention split over pro.
posal to exclude seeding Left Wing defe-
gates who. previously had left the meet
ing and announced their intention of
uniting with the Communists The mo-
ton was defeated by two votes.
Introduction Of the motion followed
charges that certain delegates we're mas
querading as '1oyal' conservatives, and,
in fact, were attending conferences OF
the Left Wing radicals, The defeated
motion would have provided that any
delegate participating In Left Wing con-
ferences be excluded from the conven-
tion.
Left Wing delegates met with Com
munist leaders. who opened to-day Q
national meeting, which was ehlivefied
by an order from the police that red
banners and festoons on the walls OF
the convention hall be pulled down and
American fiags substituted. The red
banners were taken down after a dele
gate, who gave his name as Charles
Montgomery and said he was an attor-
ney, had been arrested for disorderly
protestation.
To Discass the New Era.
Chairman Louis Fraina Of New York
said in his opening statement that the
Communists convention was called to
discuss the new era" in the history Of
tho nation. The times. he asserted
called for revolutionary actions.
Leaders of the Right Wing Socialists
comprising the conservative majority
declared to-day that the split in the
party would be patched up tomorrow
Seymour Stedman, chairman of the con-
yention. said perhaps fifty delegates had
| left the meeting.
"By tomorrow night" he said, "the
differences will be adjusted. I conf
IDENTIFY expect that many seeding dele
gates will return. Some can't come bach
II they desire. They probably will Joir
the Communists. don't believe there II
the slightest possibility that the Socialist
party will divide into two factions"
| He named John Reed. self-styled "un
recognized Bolshevik Ambassador to tn,
United States" as one delegate wht
would not be taken back into the con
vention. Reed has been a leader of tn,
Left Wing Socialists.

tract for the construction to the Fred

This contract exhibits the same

'AUDRA|N AGAIN LEADS
STATE IN OATS CROP

Each year Audrain county leads
the ia counties in Missouri in the pro-
duction of oats. In 1918, according to
the state report just issued, Audrain
again was the states banner oat coun-
ty and@Iead its nearest competitor a
million bushels. The report of the
oats output of Audrain last year was
the greatest recorded in our history.
The report shows that Audrain far
mers planted 74,940 acres with total
yield of 2,398,0S0 bushels. This was
more than many districts composed
of ten or twelve counties yielded and
the nearest county in bushel pro-
duction was Scotland county with
barely over million bushels.
Audrain has 1880 acres in wneac
this year with conditions reported at
102 per cent. The 1918 corn yield Of
Audrain was 1,SO2,92O bushels from
128, $50 acres. The wheat yield forAu
drain in 1918 was 334, $50 bushels
from $500 acres. The wheat crop for
1919 according to the figures above
shown is materially larger,
