NEED 100000 TROOPS
TO FULFIL MANDATORY
That Many American Boys viii be
Required in Turkey if Senate
Accepts Views of Wilson

zone hundred thousand American
troops will be necessary to the main
tenance of our mandate in Turkey un-
der the league of nations" says Capt.
S. Gale Lowrie, professor of political
science in the University of Cincin-
natl, in an interview.
Capt. Lowrie has just returned from
Constantinople, where he was in
charge of the Red Cross work of ex-
tending relief to the families in Ar
menia and Turkey of drafted Ameri-
can soldiers, several thousand in num-
ber, and is on his way home.
"The necessity for so many troops" :"
he said, "arises out of the difficult
condition in thaht part of the world.
The Balkan question is unsettled. So
are the disposition of Asia Minor and
Arabia. The peace conference has not
yet taken them up, except to urge that
the United States take over the Tur-
kish possessions. England is about
tc withdraw her troops from Asia
Minor. She has enough to do in Pal
estine and Mesopotania, to say moth
ing of Egypt and Africa generally.
Even so, she is attempting to edge out
France in the control of Syria. She
hopes in Mesopotamia's oil resources
to recoupe her financial losses of the
war.
'If we do not accept the mandatory,
the withdrawal of British troops will
result in anti-Christian and pro- Mos
lem massacres. We have become a
world power and must keep our fin
ger on the pulse of the entire world.
If we do not maintain peace in that
particular section we shall have to
take part in the engulfment On the
other hand the expense will be great
and we shall have divided interests in
both hemispheres.
81 have not entirely made up my
mind on the subject, but ] think we
ought to let this mandatory alone.
Now that the war is over the Euro
pean nations are already jealous of
each other. Any government, no mat
ter which it may be, would have trou-
bles in governing the former posses
sions of the Turkish Empire. None of
the European nations wants the other
to take them, but they all want US to
do so. At any rate, l am convinced
that neither the mandatory nor the
league as a whole will stop all future
wars"

CURTIS PLANE COMING

Wenatchee Aviators Will Give Exhi-
bitiOn Flights and Take Up
Passengers

Lieutenants F. D. Hoyt and r. d.

in which he would do every thing that
is possible to be done with an airplane,
he would land on the .Emig field north
of town.
He will take up passengers, giving
them a fifteen minute trip into the
clouds. Should they desire a few
thrills, such as looping the loop, they
will be thrown in without extra
charge. The aviators state that their
plane is of the Curtis JN4 type and
is in good condition in every respect.
1t is the one recently purchased by T.
NJ. Gibbons of Wenatchee.

burg and Chelan, besides several cars
at Wenatchee.
If growers wishing to take advant-
age of the car load price will imme-
diately apply to Mr.. Meikle he will
furnish them contract blanks, as all
orders must be signed up before they
will be delivered. 200 tons have al
ready been allotted, and many more
will take advantage of the present
price, which is very much lower than
nitrate has been sold here recently

ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL FUND

County organization of the Roose-
velt Memorial Association has been
practically completed this week over
the entire State of Washington and
reports from the national committee
state that committees composed of
men and women of all creeds and po-
litical faiths have been formed in all
the states. Their members report the
same intense interest in the broad
idea of perpetuating Roosevelt's char
acteE and Americanism as is shown
daily at his burial place at Oyster
Bay, where people from all sections
of the country are coming by the thou
sand to pay their respect to his men,
ory.
The committee feels that the coun-
try desired two forms of expression
in its memorial:
First, a memorial that shall be inn
mediate and that will enable the peo-
people to record at once and forcibly
their determination to uphold and
maintain the staunch Americanism of
Theodore Roosevelt.
Second, Permanent memorials that
will, as nearly as possible, perpetuate
and correctly interpret his character
and Americanism to future genera
tions.
To accomplish the first, the various
committees are requested to arrange
for as many meetings as possible on
Roosevelt's birthday, October 9th
which meetings will be our immediate
memorial to him, thus giving the peo-
pie public opportunity to express theii
determination to adhere to his high
American principles.
To carry out the second, the week
of October 20-27th will be devoted tc
the receipt of contributions-eacf
contributor will be enrolled as a per
manent member of the Roosevelt
Memorial Association and receive q
certificate of membership. The money
thus received will be used to provide
these permanent memorials.
Many suggestions have been made
for the permanent memorial but the
time has been too short and the re-
sponsibility too great for the COM
mittee to determine as yet their exact
character or to estimate their cost
The committee is giving this very i'm
portant part of this work vigorous at
| tention.

NC FOUR DRIVEN BY FORD
MOTORS
Engines Functioned Perfectly" Said
Lieutenant Commander Read

The Ford Motor Company has just
received official advice from the navy
department that it was four Ford Lib
erty motors, all built in the Ford Mo
tor Company's shops at Detroit, which
furnished the power that drove the
NC Four to victory in its recent rec
ord breaking flight across the Allan
tic from Trepassey, Newfoundland to
Plymouth, England, a distance of>4 900
miles. They were regular stock mo-
tors built during the war as part of
the Ford Liberty Motor production.
Upon his arrivel in Lisbon, Portu-
gal, Lieutenant Commander Read said,
"The engines functioned perfectly all
the way from America to Portugal. -
And Ameican naval officers who thor
oily inspected the NC Four upon its
arrival at Plymouth, England, stated
that the big seaplane was in even bet
ter condition than when it left Amer
lea.
The NC Four flight, which has
meant triumph for American engi-
neering skill, also adds another rec
ord to Ford achievement.

BLEwETT PASS OPEN SOON

A n. Sylvester, of the forest SER
vice, returned Saturday from a trip
over the new Blewett road. Otto
Hanson, contractor for the road,
stated to Mr.. Sylvester that in all
probability the highway would be
completed by October Is or perhaps a
little later.
While it is not at all certain, there
is a possibility that the public will be
using this important state highway
this fall.
Mr.. Sylvester states that the for
estry department is at this time
overwhelmed with applications for
timber and he hopes conditions will
be such that all parties can be taken
care of.
First Lieutenant w. F. Ramsdell
formerly deputy supervisor for Mr.
returned from overseas today and will
be a visitor in Wenatchee for several
DAYS. Lieut.. Ramsdell was one of the
first to leave the United States fol
service in France and was among the
last to return. He left with COM
mission as sergeant.
Mr.. Sylvester intimated that Lieut.
Ramsdell would return to his old po,
sition at Leavenworth. This, however
will be determined later.-Wenatchet

s2.0o PER YEAR
TWO REAL ESTATE DEALS THIS
WEEK-MORE IN PROSPECT

The John Koerner home on the
north side of the track passed to the
ownership of Frank Wendl, the shoe
repair man.
Mr. Montgomery, also residing on
the north side of the track, sold his
house and lot this week to Mr.--
The Rohrbaugh home, also located
on the north side, recently changed
hands, and Mr.. and Mrs. Rohrbaugh
are looking for a new location.
A number of other trades are on
foot and some of them will doubtless
be closed within the next few days.
The high cost of building and the
prospective raise in rents is doubtless
responsible for the activity in real
estate. One effect of this condition
will be that house owners, scenting
the fact that the price that they have
been asking for their property is so
much below the cost of building and
the prospects of receiving higher
rents will certainly result in property
owners raising the sale price of their
houses.

BIG RANCH UP CAMAS NOUN
TAIN Is SOLD

On Monday, c. d. Halferty, Jr., and
his mother, Mrs. C. H. Wilson, sold
their 320 acre Camas Mountain ranch
to Wiley Collins, of Waterville The
consideration was $4,000. The prop
erty is one of the best hay and cattle
ranches in this section and has always
been considered desirable tract be
cause of its excellent water resources
and natural timber protection. Only
recently a new $4,000 road on the
west side leading into the Peshastin
valley has been completed. This
makes the place of easy access and
greatly improves conditions there.
Mr.. Collins will take immediate pos
session and become a resident of this
vicinity-Cashmere Record.

CIVIL WAR VETERANS
FAITHFUL TO COUNTRY
1000 Americanism Expressed In Con-
demnatiOn Given League Cow
enant

Highly significant as a reflection
of the view of American citizenship in
this country is the action of the Civil
War Veterans of the Grand Army of
the Republic at their annual encamp-
ment this month at Columbus, Ohio,
in adopting resolution opposing the
covenant for the league of nations in
it's present form. The resolution was
adopted almost unanimously and after
full discussion.
According to all accounts the vet
erans said their action was in no
sense political and that it coincided
with their general policy for Amer
icanism of the 100 per cent brand
The resolution which the G. A. r.
adopted declares against entangling
alliances and holds this country is not
concerned with the international
policies of Europe, Asia or Africa" "
1t declares against surrender of Amer
ican independence and protests
against being committed to the COW
enant for a league of nations as a
rider to the treaty of peace.
The action of the veterans has at
tracted the keenest notice in Congress
and elsewhere in Washington. 1t is
looked upon here as one of the numer-
GUS strong indications that American
public sentiment is more and more be-
ing aroused to the necessity of such
modification of the covenant as will
absolutely protect the sovereignty of
the United States.
The Adoption of the resolution re-
ferred to by the G. A. r. gains ad-
ditional interest from the fact that it
demonstrates that the opinions of the
veterans who won the war half CEN
tury ago are substantially the same
as those of the men who won the war
with Germany. From many quarters
comes constantly accumulating testi-
mony that the men who saw service
in Europe are utterly opposed to be-
coming involved in European affairs
and entanglements in the fashion ad-
vocated by Mr.. Wilson.

THE MATTER WITH THE
GREAT NORTHERN i?

Because of inability to get stock
cars some forty or more cars of sheep
that should have been shipped from
here have been driven to Ellensburg
and Yakima for shipment. Flock
owners would have preferred to ship
from this point, as it would not be
necessary to drive them across the
mountains, and not only save this ex-
pense but also some losses of sheep,
that nearly always attend drive over
the mountain.
Until government management OBJ
tanned the sheep men tell us they
never had any trouble getting cars.
Perhaps this will be considered an
other argument in favor of govern
ment ownership by some people.

DEATH OF AN OLD PIONEER
PASSED AWAY LAST SUNDAY
Geo. w. Briskey Passed Away at the
Ripe Age of Seventy-Came
Here in 1888

There are few men left in the up
per Wenatchee Valley whose coming
antedates the landing of Geo. w. Bris-
key in this region in the summer of
1888. He came over the mountains
from Ellensburg by way of what is
known as Blewett pass, then mere
Indian trail, and took up homestead
in the valley across the Wenatchee
river from Leavenworth and has made
his home there ever since. He had
a controversy with the Northern Pa
cific railroad over the title to the land
he settled on. After several years
spent in litigating the matter the
courts finally awarded the title to the
homestead to Geo. w. Briskey. He
was an industrious, frugal man and
by hard work succeeded in reclaiming
his land from the wild state. He built
a cabin which housed him and his
family of a wife and five children
until four years ago, when he built a
substantial modern dwelling. George
Briskey was made of the stuff of
which all pioneers are made. He had
something of the adventurere in him.
He liked the wild, frontier life. He
was honest and Industrious. Wanted
what he thought honestly belonged to
him but respected the rights of his
fellow man. He had some trouble in
early years with neighbor, but
really never did anything that was
considered seriously wrong. Enjoyed
the confidence and respect of large
number of friends, all of whom will
drop a tear of regret at his taking
off. He took severe cold, and, never
of robust constitution, he was sick
only few days.
Geo. W. Briskey was born in Ala
bama and was married there to Miss
Mollie Beard, Dec. Is, 1880, leaving
there few years afterwards for the
great northwest. Mrs. Briskey died
in Dec. 1911, and was buried in the
Leavenworth cemetery, where the re-
mains of Mr.. Briskey will be laid to
rest. He is survived by two brothers,
Nicholas Briskey, who resides at
Cashmere, and another brother at
Milltown, Alabama, and by two sons,
Lin and William, and three daughters,
Mrs. E. E. Andrews, Mrs. Mary Ca
hail, who all make Leavenworth their
home, and Mrs. Frank T. Fromm, who
lives with her husband in Idaho, and
is now here in response to advice of
her fathers death.

SEATTLE TIMES RAISES DAILY
TO FIVE CENTS

On the ground that it will have
to pay $4,000 more for its newsprint
in 1920 than in 1919, the Seattle
Times has increased its subscription
price from to 5 cents daily, and from
7 to 10 cents Sunday, and has also in
creased its advertising rates.
The managements of the Post In
telligencer, the Star and the Record
say that no advance in the subscrip-
ton prices of those papers is contem-
plated.
"The cost of production has ad-
vanced the price of paper more than
100 per cent" the Times declares.
eve can either cease publication and
wind up our affairs; call upon adver-
tisers to pay, thru advanced rates
this additional cost; can divide this
additional cost between the readers,
advertisers and the paper; can reduce
the cost of publication by printing less
news and fewer and less expensive
features, or make some combination
of these three preceding plans. The
Times has selected the last plan"
Newspapers all over the country are
confronted by the cold fact that the
cost of production has greatly in
creased. They must increase reve-
nues, diminish expenditures OF sus-
pend publication, the Times concludes.

GROWERS BUSY AT PEsHAsTIN

The warehouses OF the FrultgroW-

There are now 104 people employed
and this number will in all likelihood
be increased. From Mr.. Warman
manager of the Association, the Echo
learns that from five to six carloads
of apples are being shipped out daily.
It is estimated that about 450 carloads
will be shipped out of the Peshastn
