an they list, claim Turkish nativity, for
where his father was an American mis-
sionary. And for years DR.. Williams
was closely connected with the Uni
| versity of Pennsylvania Museum In his
speciality Of Oriental languages, history
and archaeology.
These facts give a specially wide and
happy equipment for the writing Of this
book, which considers Turkey as a
world problem Of today. Persihage
aside of Turkish nativity, there Is no
writer now contemporary who Is so
we'll fitted, through observation, study

Suggestive and corrective ideas for
constructive handling Of the Turkish
problem are part of the Williams
book. Largely 1t is a thesaurus Of
valuable information and Of vital sta
tistics. But It has interpretations as
well as facts concerning Turkey, by
which is meant, for the purposes Of the
book, the Turkish Empire.
1t is pointed out that Turkey is the
connecting link Of three continents,
Europe, Africa and Asia. For three
thousand years it has been the cause
OF wars and holds the seeds of count
less wars to come. In country where
there arc many races. but common

Marine Officers
and Ship Owners
in New Wage Pact

New York, July ia gentleman
agreement, embodying a - per cent.
reduction in standard war time pay
for deck officers of American ships,
and permitting masters TO make their
own contracts with ship owners, was
formulated today by organizations iof
deck officers and the American
Steamships Owners Association.
The new agreement, which was sub
scribed to by representatives of the
shipping board, will be effective Au-
gust l, and will take the place of a
signed agreement which eXpiers on
that date. Changes in working rules
aboard ship also provided to conform
TO pre-war conditions.
The agreement today with deck Of
ficers brought to an end a series of
conferences with all branches of
steamship employees which begin on
April ]. Negotiations with engineers,
firemen and sailors resulted in a
strike last May and ended five weeks
later when officials of the unions and
the shipping board signed a six
months contract at Washington. This
contract was accepted BY the men
under protest and they returned to
work
