Constantinople Visioned
 As Population Center

CONSTANTINOPLE, July D. That there is every physical req son why Constantinople should become the greatest center of population in the world, surpass. ing New York and London, is the belief of Godfrey Lowell Cabot of Boston. prominent airman anG traveller.
 During his recent visit here, MT. Cabot said: "I have travelled everywhere and I know l am safe in saying that no city in the world is physically SO habitable as Constantinople. No city com. pines as it does the factors of a temperate climate, such fer tile hinterland and such idea conditions for maritime commerce. There is no water link in the world like the Bosphorus-deer enough for ocean vessels and safe enough for small coastwise schooners.
 I'm not qualified to predici what the Turks can do with thell golden opportunities, but 1 beliey. that the time is ripe for America to help them develop their re sources as she is doing increa5 ingly now"

Moving Potsdarn Statue
 Causes Municipal Row

POTSDAM, July 5.-What shall be do with Frederick William?" is the question of the hour.
 Frederick William III was the former kaiser's great-grandfather, and his statue stands on the Will helmplatz here. There was be- fore the municipal council a scheme to improve this square, but the statue is in the way, and debate on the scheme led to a lively row in the council.
 Socialists hotly argued that Frederick William did not deserve a statue, as he had twice broken his royal word.
 Sell him to the highest bid der!' shouted one.
 Send him to Doorn!" screamed another.
 Monarchists countered with loud shouts Of "cads'' and "ruffians," !" and then the fight was on. Fi- nally a vote was passed for the improvement scheme, but minus the cost of shifting Frederick William, so anyone wishing to buy statue probably can have it cheap.

GOV, SMITH MAKES TWO
 ADDRESSES
Replies to Tammany Crit ics Tn One Celebra-
 ton Talk

NEW YORK, July 5. = With only the briefest reference to his Presidential candidacy. Gov. A. E. Smith delivered two pa triotic addresses yesterday, the first since his nomination.
 In the first address in Tam many Hall. the Governor replied to Tammany's critics. In the sec ond address in the New York City Hall, he addressed several thousand new voters.
 Gov. Smith said he had heard a great deal of caustic criticism of Tammany but expressed the opinion that nothing would come of it and it would continue in existence in this country as the Society of Tammany has done for 139 years.
 Gov Smith said Tammany car ed not whether a man was rich or poor or of what religious be- liefs he might have, so long as he was a lover of America.
 Addresses New Workers
 In the second address, deliv- cred to new voters, Gov. Smith likened the Declaration of Inde- pendence to n political platform and said the whole thought sf it was contained in one sentence that holds all men are created equal. Life, liberty and the pur- suit of happiness are their in- alienable rights and that to se- cure these rights, governments are formed which secure their powers from the governed.
 Gov. Smith said No matter how much we may quarrel among ourselves politically, the Senate and House can talk themsc res to death and sometimes it looks fo the American public as though they were attempting it."

 Announcements Made Tuesday
 The announcements of the posi- tions of vessels was made Tues day night at the Chamber of Commerce banquet by A. l.. Be- brick, official handicapper and one of the judges. Winners as well as losers were roundly ap- plauded. Perhaps the greatest applause went to the owner of the only yacht that did not quail ity to finish.
 Jack Powers, owner of the Maidie, was given the highest of praise for the game fight he made to repair his engine and keep in the race. When this proved futile, after being lowed to Ketchikan, he made his own repairs and continued on here al- though aware that he could not qualify.
 Explains Handicap System
 MT. Bobrick preceded his an nouncement of the results of the race with a brief explanation of the method of handicapping. Or dinarily, he said, the handicaps are arranged prior to the start of the race. In the present in stance, as it was desired to have all vessels cross the starting line simultaneously, 1t was handled differently.
 The various cruising speeds of the several vessels were obtained.
  With this as a basis, a theoreti- cal time of arrival in Juneau was fixed for each of the yachts, |The boats finishing closest to these hours were the winners. Dell Close to Perfect The record of the Dell was al most perfect. When it arrived lin Juneau last Sunday afternoon lit was just one minute and AS seconds oyer the time allotted il for the voyage.
