THCRSDAY. FFBRCARY II. 1919
TURKEY, THE CROSS ROADS

The new agreement on defense
aid to Turkey may prove a distinct
military gain for the United NJ
tons. Turkey is a crossroads to
Africa and Asia, crossroads
which Herr Hitler in desperation
might attempt to use. And though
Turkey has declared her continued
neutrality, she states now that she
will resist any attempted Axis IN
yasion.
In other words. Turkey can be-
come a stopper for what otherwise
might be a Troublesome military
hole-the road to Africa or the
road TO Asia.
Prime Minister Churchils visit
TO Turkey is reminiscent OF the
Allied attack during World War
One at Gallipoli and the Dardan-
elles. an offensive which he planned
and sponsored. In February, 1915,
the offensive commenced. Immedi-
ately the Turks were called to arms
BIZ the German Marshal Liman Won
Sanders, who was then head OF the
German military mission in Tur-
key. He assembled and command
ed a German and Turkish force
which consisted of approximately
SIX divisions. The first naval at
tack against the Dardanelles TOOK
place on March IS, 1915. IL was
unsuccessful.
The British land expedition was
commanded by General Iran Hamil-
Ton, who had under his command
fve divisions. He established five
beachheads. Thu land fighting WIS
desperate and casualties were
huge. The tight continued IL
months. and il is said that on the
day the navy sailed away, the
Turks had only seven rounds OF
ammunition left for their big gus,
so that one more attack might
have brought victory TO the Brit
ish.
Recalling this unsuccessful cam
paign, we can better appreciate the
great value OF good military plan
ming so recently demonstrated Dy
our men in Africa.
The fact that the water gateway
from the Black Sea TO the Mediter-
ranean. via the Aegean Sea, is
held by Turkey, is OF Tremendous
strategic advantage now to the
United Nations. There may come
day when this Moslem country will
permit the Russian Black Sea navy
10 sail out into the Mediterranean
TO Join in battle there against the
Axis with the Allied fleets. Eventu-
ally Turkey. like Iraq, might de-
clare war on the Axis. or permit
United Nations troops 10 cross the
gateway to the Balkans. Thus Mr.
Churchill may make up for some Of
the mistakes OF the previous war.

YEA Lays New Plans
To Hike Teacher Paw
Directors Will Appeal
To General Assembly
BY the Associated Press.

BY Inc Assoc aztec Press.
RICHMOND, March 23.-Direc-
tors of the Virginia Education Asso-
citation will meet Saturday to con-
slider new plans to obtain salary in
creases for teachers after Gov.
Darden informed YEA representa-
tives last week that there was little
chance to get an estimateds$A500 900
to pay for the proposed program.
A sum as great as that, the Gov
ernor said. should be passed on by
the General Assembly. Some new
source of revenue would also be
necessary.
Action must be taken within the
next month while new contracts
with teachers are being negotiated.
and it would be impractical in that
short time for the General Assem-
bly, to act on both the appropria-
ton and the necessary tax measure,
he said
The YEA officials may revise their
figures to a point where the Gov
ernor might feel justified In au-
thorizing a deficit expenditure.
Francis S. Chase, executive sec
rotary of the YEA. said a consid-
cradle number of answers had been
obtained from survey of the State
to determine the teacher intention
situation. but that data was too IN
conclusive to attempt any estimate
as to the number of teachers who
were planning to return next year.
A survey committee of. Martins
vile reported that of the Sc white
teachers there, 33 have stated they
would not be back for another
school year unless they receive a
substantial increase in pay.

To Hold Teachers in Schools
Urges Salary Increases; Refers "a Bills
To Committee for Examination Friday

recommended. The bill authorizes
an increase in the county police
force from "a TO 100. or an addi-
tional number if thought advisable,
and an increase in salary of all
members of the force. The amend
ment would provide that new APP
pointments shall be made from the
certified list Of the police civil
service commissioner and that all
advancements be made on the basis
of merit. The resolution was
presented by Henry H. Smelling,
chairman of the Committee on
Public Safety.
Mr.. Smelling pointed out that the
bill now permits appointment of
the first Al of the additional men
without regard to the current list
certified by the police civil service
commissioner and the advancement
of these mcertif1ed men over the
heads Of more capable members of
the present personnel.
Among the bills referred to COM
mittees for special reports Friday
were those providing for:
Publication of certain legal notices
in more than two county papers at
the discretion of the commissioners,
licensing Of private fish ponds. an
neXation of additional territory to
sections l and of Chevy Chase, in
EQUATION of all pre-school children
between the ages of 5 and 10, APP
pointment of an assistant treasurer
and clerks, acquisition of land by the
county commissioners for public or
quasi-public use, extension of the
territory of the suburban district
and an emergency increase in the
pay of county employees.
Also to be studied are bills plac-
ing the supervisor of school prop
erty under the Board of Education
instead of the Board of County
Commissioners and to increase the
salaries of suburban sanitary COM
missioners
Seven bills increasing the powers
and duties of the Washington SUBJ
urban Sanitary Commission, after
preliminary review by Herbert
Eaton. chairman of the Sanitation
and Public Health Committee, were
assigned to Samuel Stonebraker for
a special report Friday. Mr.. Stone
braker will endeavor to. obtain a
public hearing in the county on
these bills before their passage.

Virginia Draft Call
For May Is Largest

81 Per Cent Are CoIored:

BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND. March 23.-Virginia
has been asked to furnish more men
for the armed services in the month
of May than in any previous month
since the start of selective service
about two one-half years ago
The months that follow, at least
for the rest of the year, will probably
bring calls equally as great, but the
May peak will hardly be exceeded,
State draft officials said yesterday
A large majority of the men in
.dalcted to meet the May quota will

Service headquarters gives the word.
Figures on the May quota assigned
to Virginia cannot be announced,
Col. Mills F. Neal, State director Of
selective service. declared. but the
quota is Virginia's largest to date,
he said.
OF the total, Col. Neal said. 81
per cent are Negroes-a larger pro-
portion than has prevailed in past
calls. 1t will bring the ratio of
lnductees between the two races
closer to the States population
ratios of 70 per cent white and &c
per cent Negro.
Col. Neal said that Virginia local
boards have now completed the
classification and induction of all
single notwithstanding single men
with collateral dependents with
the exception of those becoming 10
years Of age who are required by
law to register on their birthdays.
and with the exception of those now
placed in Glass 2 as necessary men"
in essential activities, who must be
reclassif1ed as their periods of
deferment expire.

Silver Spring Area
Warned Cab Service
May Halt Five Days
Taxi Association Head
Says 8 Of II Are Idle
Due to lack Of Cos 3.

Unless the Office of Defense
Transportation rescinds It's restric-
tons, taxicab service for the $4,000
residents in the general Silver
Spring Md area will be severely
curtailed and no service at all will
be available for the five days be-
tween Friday and April l, Lee Jones,
manager of the Silver Spring Taxi
Association, said today.
MI. Jones said that eight of the
II cabs of the ASSOCIATION already
are out of gasoline and must re-
main idle. The remaining nine will
be without fuel by Thursday night
or Friday morning. he predicted,
and cannot be placed in use again
until April l, when the new quar-
terly allotment is received.
The taxicab company has had
its gasoline allotment reduced 371a
per cent, or from 1900 gallons to
LIPS gallons cab for each quarter.
If we are not given more con-
sideration by ODT We will be unable
to operate during June-the last of
the next quarter-under the present
quota MI Jones said.
MI. Jones said he had appealed
to ODT officials but was told he
was being treated like all other
suburban taxicab associations.
Other suburban cabs do not pro-
vide the service that We do nor
have they complied as readily and
fully with all requirements of ODT, =
Mr. Jones asserted.
Because of an ODT ban on
licensing new cabs. he said the firm
has been operating with little more
than half the cabs needed to meet
transportation demands.
During January and February
our II cabs carried l0l,019 pas
sengers total distance Of 245.682
miles Mr.. Jones said. With our
present telephone facilities we have
saved 100000 of dheading
yearly over the mileage of previous
wears. Still we are denied our
original quotas by the ODT."
The cabs serve patrons in a radius
Of approximately 10 miles. includ-
ing Kensineton. East-West High
