"At Aleppo and Kas-el-Ain, German othcers stalked side by side with these spectres of famine and murder and death, and not a linger was rais ed or a word said. "It is impolite to interfere, is the. Oerman watchword. "The German apathy, or sympathy, we c an understand. The dilti -cult thing is to reconcile th atrocities with what we have seen of the Turk as a Achter. . There are very few British officers who will not hear witnss that, winning or losing, he has foucht cleanly on the whole. This Jekyll-and-Hyde quality in the nature of the Turk is a perpetual riddle. Often Well Treated. "The Armenian refucees who reached Racdad during the Turkish occupation wer often well treated.

There were small children of 4 and

r years old who w

Turkish families. Kindly Turks had picked them up. as one micht a small puppy or a kitten, and taken them In. After a year or so In their new environment they have forgotten their own language. This is the Ottoman natur all over. The massa

cres are an unpleasant business. The less civilized elements of a heterogeneous army are turned onto the dirty work, and the better class Turk shuts his eyes to it as much as possible. Armenians within his household are often treated well. An Armenian mistress enjoys the privileges of the home. A servant is well cared for; children, when adopted, are treated kindly. It Is good work for Allah to take an infant and make a t:ood Moslem of it."

ITALIANS AROUSED BY SMALL COAL IMPORTS

Iptern ltlenil News Service: LUGANO. July CO. The papers of northern Italy are greatly alarmed over the constant decrease of the coal imports. According to the Milan Corriere della Sera only ll.nrtn tons of fuel arrived in Genoa in May. against 2."3,0nrt tons in the same month of last year. In Savona 13.000 tons of coal were landed during the month, against 122.000 tons in May, 1?1. Although the maximum freicht rates have been abolished very few neutral vessels venture to tike cargoes to Italian ports. The German submarine war has chased almost all of them away and the enormous profits no longer seem t tempt the Scandinavian. Spanish and other neutral ship owners. An idea of the tremendous increase of the shipping rates is given by the fact that the transportation of a ton of coal from Newcastle to Oena now cots $4. against SI. 7" before the war.

HOLDS FREE SPEECH AND PRESS ARE NECESSARY

TOKIO. July 20. E. J. Harrison of Tokio. wh' accompanied the American rnnvoad commission to Vladivostok as assistant secretary and who has returned to Japan, pay? that the reports of disorders at 'ladiostok were greatly exaggerated, if not, indeed, entire misrepresentations. He found the city absolutely tranquil. In place of the former police, the city is in the hands of the new militia, largely recruited from the military. The most disquieting symptom from a military standpoint was the terrible conception of freight of all kinds. Cases of machinery lay about all over the pl.re in utter abandonment, exposed to the elements, and assuredly in danger of damage and deterioration. Mountains of shells, plantations of cotton, army supplies of every imaginable description bore mute witness, he said, to the Incompetence of the old regime. Mr. Harrison heard stories of occasional hich-handed action on the part of the local garrison. He was told that In some cases officers occuping government quarters had been turned out by the foldiers or at least compelled to limit themselves to omy ? portion of the original space, the balance being taken over the by the men. He found the men in the ctreets perfectly sober and well behaved. The officers, on the other hand, no longer able to demand the former salute, seemed to wear a somewhat suhd ied air. One Class PosslmUtic. A naval lieutenant whom he met at dinner spoke very bitterly and pessimistically of the new conditions as affecting the army ofrcers. and declared that he and many others were only awaiting the conclusion of the war in order to quit the service for good. Mr. Harrison went on: 'The attitude reflected by the Russian lieutenant just quoted is characteristic of a certain class of Russian, who can see nothing but ruin and disaster confronting his country. Persons of this type are firmly convinced that, sooner or later, Japan will take possession of Vladivostok and probably the whole of the Almur province. And of course they credit the recent rumor that Japan is preparing tr coerce and discipline Russia in case the latter weakens beyond a certain point or should there arise the spectre of a separate peace. Wild yards have been circulated about the concentration of the Japanese troops at Mukden." Describing the reception of the Stevens commission by the council of workmen's and soldiers delegates. Mr. Harrison, who knows the Russian language, said: "Perhaps because mot typical of the new democratic order the vivid impression was made upon my mind by the remarks of the military representative of the council, a soldier who formerly had kept a small shop somewhere in Vladivostok. Without a tremor and with all the aplomb of a seasoned orator, this man made an address saying in effect that heretofore a barrier had been set up by the Russian autocracy be tween the Russian democracy and the democracies of the west. This barrier, however, had at last been torn down by the heroism of the Russian people. who could now stretch out a hand of hearty greeting to their comradps in other lands. Mr. Stevens in every case made apt and happy replies. .Must Have Cars. The time in Vladivostok was spent in studying terminal prob'. ems at first hand. Taken out in tug-boat the visitors viewed the two large naval dry-docks and the general comflguration of the harbor in its relation to questions of railway transport. On the following day they were convoyed by special train to Pervaya Reehka 'first river) to po over the car-assembling shops. It did not need an expert to see that the Vladivostok terminus i suffering from an acute shortage of cars which America can do much to remedy.
