Turkey of course can be relied upon to be stubborn and to have! none too much respect for the rights of others, gspecially when it would interfere in any way with its plans and policles. The Turkish government There is little wonder that Wash- ington looks upon its attitude as un- precedented, but that very fact calls for the exertion of every bit of pres- sure to make it realize that this gov- ernment is not to be plaved with. Even its own allies should be quick to set it straight on that point. THE RESERVE BOARD WARNING. It is but natural that there should be widespread interest in the warn- ing which has been issued by the Fed- era] Reserve Board concerning invest- ments in long term foreign loans, which are short term in name, but which, either by contract or through force of circumstances, may in the aggre- gate have to be renewed until normal conditions return. This board has apparently siven much thought to the proposition of offering the treasury bills of Buropean nations in this country and as the re- sult it considered it advisable to ex- press its opinion to the members of the system and the bankers of the country to prevent them from loading up with something which may not be what it appedrs. It doesn’t say that they are not safe but it does say that “while these notes may be short in form and severally may be collected at maturity, the gbject of the bor- rower must be to Attempt to renew them ccllectively, with the result that the aggregate amount placed here will remain until such time as it may be advantageously converted into a long term obligation.” The idea is to prevent the tying up of the liquid funds of the country which may be required at home for development along all lines, and not to attack the credit of any nation. It calls attention to the situation in such a manner that it will not be possible for any to say lafer on that they had heen misled by appearances and surely that it what must be expected from those who are In charge of this import- ant government board. It virtually says we are offering you the advice for what it is worth. and it can be ac- cepted or disregarded, but our respon- sibility is discharged.’ BEFORE BUCHAREST. ‘Whether Russia really considers that the new offensive which it has.started in the Carpathians will be sufficient to will, for it has long been realized that it is upon Russia that the burden falls in giving protection to the little coun- try in peril, but from the time which has been taken in sending reinforce- ments and moving troops up to now it must be realized that unless the czar has been able to launch some highly important strategic move which will outflank the enemy positively _and quickly, this offensive has comé® too late to prevent the taking of the Ru- manian capital. It is.not to be supposed that the Rumanians will not offer all the re- sistance that is within their power against the invaders, but their handl- cap is the same ‘as has existed ever since the well laid and carefully fol- lowed plans of the Teutons, with their methodical encirclement of the Balkan country, have been put into operation. From all indications it is only a ques- tion of time, and a matter of days, before the Falkenhayn-Mackensen ar- mies will have attained their object. If the Rumanians and Russians at this late date can prevent it, it will mean an exhibition of strength an generalship which has not been m: fested since that country entered th war. THE GOVERNMENT'S Ol LANDS It is a matter of much importance to which Gifford Pinchot calls atten- tion in his letter of recent date when he refers to the provisions of the Phelan bill relative to the disposal of ma- tional oil lands to private interests. When he declares that the measure “actually gives away the fuel oil re- serves of the United States navy to claimants whom the supreme court re- cently declared to have no legal rights whatever” it is time that serious con- sideration was given the matter in- stead of allowing it, or even helping it, to be jammed through congress heedlessly. - .This country through its navy is already a large user of fuel oil. It i$ being depended upon for the navy more and more egch year and where n few million barrels of oil may be consumed now in the operation of the naval vessels, it will only be a matter of a few years before many times that quantity will be used. The amount is steadily increasing because of the fact that greater efficiency is being obtained from that kind of fuel and there can be no thought of returning to any other kind without a serious los: If these oil lands are given away it can be appreciated what a sorry position the government may some day find itself in. It was for this very purpose that these lands were set aside by Presi- dent Taft in 1912, and the legislation which is now being attempted is sole- ly for the purpose of getting around the degision of the supreme court in susmin‘i\z his action. ‘Attention has been called to this situation none too soon and it should result in putting a quick check upon this dangerous move. PAYS BIG DIVIDENDS. By the annual report of the com- mander of the coast guard service, the recommendation is made to congress that three new cutters be authorized for the improvement of the service, that cruising cugters should be equip- ped with modern radio apparatus and that the telephone and telegraph lines used in its work be repaired and ex= tended. The importance of the coast guard service cannot be denied. It only needs to be understood jlst what it is accomplishing every year to appre- ciate the fact that it needs every bit of attention that can be given to it within the bounds of reason. During the past year for instance this branch of the government service was _the means of rescuing 1216 persons. This means that they were either, saved from grave peril or possibly a watery grave throuch the timely aid that was rendered by the crews of the cutters. The saving of life is the one impor- tant object for which these vessels are kept in readiness to respond at a mo- ment's notice, but they are also in- strumental in the prevention of a great amount of property loss. For the past year the service cost the gov- ernment a trifle over five million dol- lars but in that time the cutters were able to save vessels which were val- ued at over twice that amount. It is therefore vital that they should be modern, safe and properly equipped both for the work at hand and for the proper protection of the lives of those who thus risk themselves to help their | fellowmen. The investment in the coast guard service pays big dividends every year. EDITORIAL NOTES. The day after always has its hor- vorsy for some people. It begins to look as if there is a warm time ahead for the cold storage plants. Peace is the one thing which will bring about the greatest day of thanks- giving in Europe. With the housewives out to reduce the price of eggs, something is bound to crack under the strain. * This is the day when a great many people have a chance to reflect that it pays to be temperate in all things. The man on the corner says: Before election there were men who couldn’t think, and since, they dom’t want to think. ‘With two more Zeppelins brought down, those air railds upon England are getting more costly every time they oceur. - _A released prisoner declares the pen« itentiary a good place to get an edu- cation, but thdt is not the reason that S0 many peopie go there. 1t will"be surprising to a lot of peo- ple to find out how much they can get along without if they only have the courage to make the try. New figures just made public show an increese in population in this country. That is more than most of the large countries are able to do just now. —_— Inasmuch’ as Congresswoman-elect Rankin of -Montana has received so many proposals of marr! since her election, there is a lesson therein for a lot of the spinsters. ' S When fire breaks out in a ship load- ing with supplies for the belligerents there is pretty good reason for be- lieving that the enemy is at work on this side of the water.

THE WAR PRIMER By Naiional Geographic Soclety Sultanabad — The graphic Society issues the following war geosraphy bulletin concerning Sultanabad, capital of the Persian province of Irak, in the vicinity of which the Russians are reported to have administered defeat to a con- siderable Turkish force “Sultanabad is the infant city of Persia, having been founded only a little more than a hundred years 2go, whereas most of the places of more than 5000 inhabitants in this an- cient kingdom have histories ante- dating the Caristian era by centuries. The town owes its importance to the fact that it is in the center of one of the greatest rug-making districts of the Near Fast. It forms with Ham- adan, Tabriz, and ilerman, the ‘big National Geo- Ifour of the Persian carpet werld. “The hand-woven carpets of Persia are divided into three general classes —kali, or rugs having piles and cut iike plush; the nimads, or felt weaves which are seldom exported, and the gilim, with smooth surfaces much in demand for hangings, draperies and couch covers. Sultanabad is noted especially for its kali, and befcre.the war the value of these goods export- ed from here and Ferahan amounted to half a million dollars annually. A British company is established in Sultarabad to handlé this business. “There are cnly five or six roads in Persia which are sufficiently wide and well-graded to make vehicular traf- fic poss:ble and one of tnese passes through Suitanabad. The importance of this fact cannot be fully appre- ciated unlessione recalls that this country, whi has an area two- thirds as large as all the States east of ihe Mississippi, boasts of but one rail- road and that is 2 line only six miles long running between Teheran and a mosque just beyond the capital's city limits. “The Sultanabad highway runs to Kum, 68 miles to the northeast and thence north tc Teheran, ar addition- al 92 miles. The part of tiie road from Teheran to Kum was built in 1883 at a cost of $60,00 but had to be rebuilt by tae Imperial Bank of Per- sia, which expended $275,000 on the enterprise. TEbe second section of the highway, from XKum to Sultanabad, ‘was bui't to connect the capital with Avhaz (Ahwaz), at the head of navi- gation of the Karun River, from which point » fortnightiy steamer ser- vice to the kead of the Perfian Gulf is operated, aided by a subsidly from the British government. . “Strangely enough, Sultanabad owes its existence to Napoleon Bonaparte. In an effort to induce Persia to at- tack Great FEritain’s possessions in Indian in exchange for French help against the Russians then invading Georgia, the emperor despatched Gen. Claude Gardane to the court of Te- heran to effect the alliance. But by the time the diplomat could complete his dangerous overland journey tihe treaty of Tilsit (July, 1507) had been in existence five months, and his mis- sion _was thereby rendered useless for the time being. TBhe envoy remained in Persia for mora than a ‘year, how- ever, and during that time attempted to reorganize the native army. recruiting Center for several battal- ions was established in the midst of the rug-making villages of Irak, and thus began Sultanabad, which today has a population of 8,000, returned to France in 1809, was made a count and took part in the disas- ed the Pproprietor -again obliterating the rown. “I'll take him right out to your @r m—?y $8t Tl in a nice box of dog biscuit—" “Think!” said her friend desperati Iy, “of tryirg to glve a collie o week- ly bath in an apartment! v ing would be simply drowned!

I STORIES OF THE WAR l owner The Battle at Hermannstadt. One of the battles of the fpresent war which future generations will study is the one which led to the complete rout and disorganization of the Firs: Rumanian army southeast of Hermannstadt. TFor several rea- sons the battie in question is by. far the most interesting of the Furopean war. It caused the retreat of the Ru- manian forces which had invaded Transylvania, and called for a flank manoeuyre whose Success was possi- ble only with an enemy who tock too much for granted. ' When General Falkenhayn's forces reached the country north of Her- mannstadt, the general military situ- ation was not favorable for the Cen- tral Powers’ troops. The invading Rumanian troops had occupied good positions. and bhad the advantage of numerical superiority. Kronstadt and the country north of that city had been occupied. The entire valley of the Alt in the handg of the Ru- manian: the Germans and Aus- tro-Hungarian troops depended for transportation upon a few single- tracked railroads of little strategic value. Gradually contact was established with the enemy by advancing _the Central forces' right wing. The Vul- can pass was taken. This done the Teutonic armuy pressed slowly forward along the Transylvania Alps, driving the Rumanians befere them. The in- tention of the Rumanian general staff to push as far west as the Theiss river was wrecked. Hermannstadt had net been occu- pied by the Rumanians, a failure due to lack of initiative. The city could have been taken without much fight- ing, but already the Rumanians had been given ‘several good examples of Falkenhayn's strategy. The Ruman- ians lay south of the city in a half circle, refrained from offensive man- oeuvres, and so gave Falkenhayn the very opportunity he needed to set his great drive in motion. Slowly the Im- perial troops were advanced towards the hills north of the Alt, while against the Ghost Forest in the east Central cavalry was thrown to protect the left flank. This was the situation on Septem- ber 23. 3 The Rumanians had the Red Tower Pass in their rear, ard a frontal at- tack might do no more than throw them upon this. It was necessary to close the paes. This could be done only by sending troops through the mountains west of the pass, a very difficult manocuvre since tne moun- tains have no roads of any sort. Ar- tillery and a supply train were out of the question. General Falkenhayn decided to at- tempt the flank movement with some German alpine troops, of which Ba- varian mountaineers were but a small contingent, many of the “alpine” sol- diers being in reality natives of Mecklenburg, men who in all their lives had never climbed a mountain. Three battalions set out. The men carried food for four days and their regular issue of ammunition. Re- serve supplies were carried on a hast- ily organized pack train. Through the foothills of the mountains a road could be used, then paths were followed, and finally the crests meaf the Rumanian border had to be gained through dense forests and =zcross boulder fields. . An odd feature of the manoeuvre was that' the contact established with the Rumanian border guards did not result in the comander of the First Rumanian army taking some precau- tionary measure for the protection of his flank. The German flankers had daily skirmishes with the Rumanian border troops, but never met serious opposition. The flanking forceswas to reach the Red Tower Pass on September 26, on which day a frontal attack was to be made from the direction of Hermann- stadt. Despite great hardships ond the abandonment at the village of Dus of the pack train, the Germans succeed- ed in reaching the heights above the Alt defile on the morning of the 26th. Some engineers descended into the gorge and blew up the road at two points where revetments made this feasible. Even then the Rumanians seem to have felt absolutely secure. The fact that in their rear an enemy was destroying their one direct line of communication does not seem to have troubled them much. Probably the thought that the road through the Alt valley and to Kronstadt was open may be responsible for -this. The original program had called for a general attack at 7 in the morning on the 26th. The flanking troops were in telephonic connection with head. quarters, and so learned that the at- tack from Hermannstadt had teen postponed. The situation of the al- pine troops was far from reassuring. A movement on_their own flank might be undertaken by the Rumanians at any ‘hour. The 26th d.

It was learn- ed, however, that the Rumanians were taking their artillery through the de- file. On the following day the flank- ing bodies began to be pressed by the Rumanians. Reinforcemgents could not be brought into the mountains at short notice, so that the prospects seemed not the brightest. On September 29 a strong artillery fire in the north anmounced that the frontal attack was being made. The alpine troops advanced to positiens directly overlooking the road in the dafile. Already the road was filled with the van of the retreating Ru- manians. It was caught in the ma- chine-gun and rifile fire of the Ger- mans at two points, one south, the other imediately north of the village of Veres Torony. The slaughter was terrific as The Associated Press cor- respondent is able to testify from a visit to the spot. In a few msinutes the narrow road was filled with dead men and_animal From Boicza the Rumanian retreat was pressing upon those on the road, who on their right had unscalable precipices upon which perched the en- emy, and on_ their Jeft another preci- pice and a deep river. Men, animals and wagons plunged through ° the road’s guard rail into the surging tor- rent below, never to come to the sur- face again. Their bodies were still resting on -the rock ledges and sand banks when the correspondent went over the ground. At Veres Torony there is a stone bridge across a mountain stream emp- tying into the Alt from the west. A German machine gun platoon reached a height nearby and took the bridge under fire. Soon the space between the ramparts was filled with dead and wounded men and animals. Death reapall its fullest harvest here. Thcse who were not cut down by the bail of bullets plunged eover the bridge into the water, where ,wounded men and animals formed a writhing mass, The cry came “sauve qui peut.”” -An entire army, or that part of it which Lad been driven into the gorge melted of a sudden into a panicky, mob. Again .the river claimed hun- creds of victims, and those lucky enough to reach the other side feli under the machine gun fire of the Germans. The pressure forcing the Ruman- ians into Red Tower Pass was exert- ed by the fromtal attack ich Falk- enhayn engineerad from the north. Had it been possible to close the Alt valley east of Hermannstadt the en- tire First Rumanian army would have been annihilated. As it was this route was in part open, though to close it had been intended and had heen the cauia of the delay of the frontal at- tack. With every stick abondoned the re- mainder of the First Army dispersed in the Pothills of the Fogaras moun- tains, acd later reached Kronstadt. At Boicza the remnants of the Ru- manian train were seen by The As- sociated Press correspondent. The Imperials had taken away whatever value. Over a square mile of meadowland and fields the wreckage of the train spread. Imperial artillery had wrought havoc with the column. The frpgments of thousands of army vehicles, farm wagons and carts told an awful tale of the surprise Falken- hayn had worked on the Rumanians. Out of the wreckage loomed high the kitchen wagon of the comander of the 13th Rumania; division.
