The horse racing attractions at the State Fair in Berlin, September 14 to 17, will be the. bestt that the asso- ciation has ever offered. Because of the fact that the fair will be held earlier than usual this vear the first reces in the state stake races will be 1un off here. There is a decided ad- vantage in that arrangement. Horses will work out in those races and the Theats will be fought out in earnest and all the well known horses will compete in the opening of the stake classes. These races will also bring out a number of new entries and the horses will be worked out for the first time in fast classes. Superin- tendent George Greene has a large entry list already flled and the day for the final closing of the race entries will not be reached for a few cays. There is talk of attempting to hold a couple of exhibition races at night. The plan now being con- gidered is to have the searchlightts, which will be a big feature of the night fair, so situated that they can be directed so as to light all around the track. A couple of horses will be worked out on the evening previous to the opening of the fair and if it works out successfully the exhibitlon events will be held evenings during the fair. The night fair feature, which is introduced this year, is bound to prove popular. The vaude- ville performances will be given and as an added attraction grand displays of fireworks will be given every evening. There will be a complete change of program every night. The electrical decorations will be a fea- ture of the fair., The band concerts snd dancing will be held every night. The main hall will be used for NOTICE The Fall Term of the Public School will open Tuesday, September 7, 1915, Examinations for entrance to the High School will be held at the High School Building, Room 1, on Friday, September 3, at 9:30 a. m.

EGONOMIC POLICY NEEDED IN TURKEY Constantinople Bankers Says Bx- Ploitation Must Cease in Empire (Correspondence of the Assoclated Press.) Constuntionple, Sept. 3.—A banker of considerable prominence in Con- stantinople has given the Associated Press correspondent some idea of what may be occomplished in Turkey in event of the war having a favor- able outcome for the Turks. Although the banker stipulated that his name should not be used at this time, his position and kmowledge of the coun- try are such that his statements, even appearing anonymously, may be con- sidered as of unusual importance. Discussing the essentials that would make Turkey a strong and self-con- tained political unit after the war, he said at the outset that what Turkey needed today most was an ecohnomic policy that would leave something for coming generations. In other words exploitation would have to cease, Resources Enormous. “The undeveloped resources of the Ottoman empire are enormous,” he continued. “Turkey, for instance, could meet the entire grain shortage of Kurope, if its soil were adequately tilled and marketing facilitles provid- ed. Turkey could-supply all of Eu- rope with fruit, and ship fully one- half of the meat now imported by Bu- ropean countries from South and America, Avstralia and New Zealand. The intelligent cultivation of cotton would place Turkey next to the United States as a producer of the staple. The olive oil industry could be in- creased a thousand times. More wool could be cxported. Ports of Anatolia and Syria are especially suited for the raising of plants of great medicinal value. Even coal of fair value could be shipped to the Mediterranean coun- tries.” Before any of these things could be made possible, however said the bank- er, the Ottcman government would have to realize that a stable economic policy was necessary. Some of the Young Turks had already arrived at such a conclusion but little had been done even by them, he asserted. Must Be Patient. “But we must be patient. It 1n; hardly two years now since the Turks themselves ‘have taken to work. Up to that time the Turks held the erroneous notion that work was not particularly ennobling, that worlk, aft- er all, was for others—Kurds, Greeks and Armenians. With the Turks hold- ing the reins of government, this view could lead but to one result— a total lack of sound economic thought. Whatever was done had the meeting of immediate needs as its objective. Exploitatien of a most ruthless na- ture ensued. Under this system the splendid forests of Turkey were de- stroyed: the peasant was taxed to death and given no opportunity to improve either himself or his land; honest investors were kept out of the country, with the result that Turkey today has no industries, and is obliged even to ship its olive oil to Italy for refinement. The absence of all econ- omic understanding on the part of King of Servia and Troops Now Defending Capital SERVIAN INFANTRY o7 BELGRADE +KING PETER London, Sept. 3.—Bombardment of Belgrade, the Servian capital, has been resumed by the Austrians and Germans in large calibre howitzers, according to an official statement issued at Nish and quickly telegraphed by the Reuter correspondent. The statement says: “The enemy bom- barded Belgrade with large caliber howitzers. The bombardment ceased after we shelled Semlin ( in Austria, | on the tongue of land formed by the | junction of the Danube and the Save opposite Belgrade) and Panscova (across the Danube from Belgrade, in Austria), causing fires in Semlin and a panic in Panscova.” It is believed by the military experts here that this region will be the scene of the next Austro-German offensive. There is some speculation in military circles as to whether Roumania as well as Scrvia will be attacked because of Roumania’s refusal to allow munitions of war to pass through to Turkey. So | results expected from the proposals made by the entente powers to Servia and Greece regarding concessions to EBulgaria that Bulgaria has recalled from Constantinople a delegate who went here to negotiate with Turkey, says a dispatch from Sofia to the Daily Mail. those in power under the old regime was appalling. Those wishing to es- tablish themselves in some industry or business in Turkey were usually asked to pay for the privilege in the form of a bribe to some official. “Already conditions have improved, but there is much room for better- ment yet. But I am not one of those who maintain, maliciously, I think the Turk is constitutionally averse to pro- gress. He simply does not, as a rule understand that what may Dbenefit others, will benefit him. The Turk is suspicious of all strangers, he is also covetous enough to envy the foreigner whose skill and enterprise lead to success. He does not under- stand that a similar qualification and exertion on his own part would pro- duce a like result. Stagnation Only Result. “Such a condition could have but one result, the stagnation one finds in all parts of the Ottoman empire. Religion has nothing to do with that. I have many Turkish friends who en- Joy material well being along with their religion, and I am quite sure that the Anatolian peasant is capable of relishing both caviare and vaud ville, if he could but secure them. Turkey needed a rapid extension of its railroad system, said the banker. It needed more roads, though para- doxical as it might seem, Turkey had, never had so many good roads as had been built during the war. Then, the peasant would have to be trained and relieved from much of the petty interference he is still subject to. Commerce aught to be given the op- portunity of developing under the im- petus of unrestricted competition. Manufacture should be placed beyond the reach of governmental interfer- ence, with the control left entirely to the circumstance that Turkey, as an open market, would always enjoy the price regulation resulting from com- petition between the home and foreign manufacturer.” Ignorant of Economics. Among other informants, the cor- respondent found some who held that Turkey was incapable of formulating a sound economic policy; elsewhere the opinion that improvement was discernible and that more could be looked for. “No Turkish government has yet gone to the trouble of training men in economics, or giving the few Turks so trained, a chance of applying their knowledge,” said one authority. “I doubt very much whether the first principle of economics is understood | by a quarter of the men who serve in the department’s dealing with econ- omic matters in the Ottoman empire. Tt is all a question of ignorance—ig- norance on the part of the men who manage affairs they do not under- stand, ignorance on the part of those who permit them to occupy such po- sitions. Economic questions in Tur- key are not settled from the view- point of the aggregate, but from that of individualism.” Must Get Started. “It is all a matter of getting the thing started. I know that all Tur- key is ready to start anew, and start right. I know also that a sound economic policy would reconcile the Greek and Armenian, who, even if they do not always adhere to such a policy themselves, know its value better than do the Turks, whose po- sition of governor has really never made the absence of a sound econ- omic policy felt to them.” “How will the 'abolition of the cap- itulations effect the geeting of money for Turkey in the future,” was ask- ed of another banker. Superior Court of Commerce, “That depends upon what measures are taken by the Turkish government to protect the foreign investor,” re- plied the banker. ‘I believe that Turkey would have no difficulty get- e ting all the money she needs, pro- vided it can establish beyond all doubt that the Ottoman laws and couils will ensure equity to all concerned If that cannot be established, then, Turkey will find no money, especial- ly after this war when home needs will make first call upon the funds of investors. I can not say that peo- ple with money to invest have had much reason to have confidence in Ottoman law and jurisprudence in the past. But that might be over- come if the Turkish government could be persuaded to establish some su- perior court of commerce—a body whose duty it would be to adjudicate all disputes between foreign inves- tors on the one hand and Turkish in- viduals and the government on the other.” Industries established by foreigners unde.r the capitulations had been no _bless_mg to Turkey, said this man, cit- Ing in proof thereof the abuses of Wwhich a papermill operated by Aus- trians is said to have been guilty. The rights granted under the capit ulation had in this case stified for- eign competition, and had given rise to a monopoly whose sole aim, it was alleged, was to sell the Jpoorest pro- duct at the highest price.

He, too, was of the opinion, that unfamiliarty with | the subject, rather than an inclina- | tion to act wrongly, was responsible for many of the economic mistakes made in the past. Nothing could be done, however, so long as the Turks were averse to trusting forelgners, for which attitude there had been some justification in the past o “The Turks take the very reasol- able position that if their country I8 to be exploited, they would just as soon do it themselves,” gaid this man, { “The grounds for Turkish mistrust of [the foreigners are many unfortun= ately.
