For weeks ncKotlutlonn to permit their ipv.

In progress, liut without result. Turldsli
officials have made promises, but each time
when the rescue work wan about to start
gome obstuole has been raised.
The latest, Turkish cxcue was that tier

laid that they were very gravely concerned
over Betting these Americans safely to neu

OJJlclals said that an effort Is to be made
how to tlnd -some way of getting out all

Wilkes-Barre Doctors and State

Search for Source
f WILKtfSBAKP.E. Pa.. March 23.
State Board of Health doctors and city
medical autlm-l les who are co-opernting
.with them have failed so far to ascertain
jthe source of the peculiar fever that has
itrlcken clerks of the Boston Stoic. They
have also failed to determine just what the
disease Is. They are. however, thoioughly
Investigating the theory that the disease
was brought here by parrots that worp sold
at the htore a few weeks back The doctors
fcave been visiting all th. patients, making
Wocd teats and causing city health olllcers
to report the condition of all families known
to have purchased the birds. They have
traced the parrots to other cities, learned
whether there has been any sickness that
has followed, but so far have failed to
reach any definite conclusions,
i One theory advanced todnv was that the I
lever, wnicn may no me uiu-iiiiiiunru in
fluenza In violent form, got its atnit at
the annual spring opening of the store, when
there were hundreds of patrons present.
It has been discovered that the epidemic
dates from a time soon after the opening
took place. .
There have been no new cases repoited
or no more deaths. Klftv of the store

MEMORIAL FIELD MASS
AT LEAGUE ISLAND PAKX
Navy Yard, Closed to Visitors on War
Work, Not Available
The annual military memorial Held mass
.may be held In League Island Park In
stead of at tlie.Phlladelphla Navy Yard thW
year owing to the fact that the yard Is
closed to visitors on account of war prepata-
v tlons. The necessity for some change in
plans was revealed In a letter from Com
mandant Itussell to Colonel Joseph W Breen,
commander. Department of. Pennsylvania,
Army and Xavy Union, In response to the
latter's request for Information regarding
the annual service.
The letter from Commandant Hussell to
'Colonel Breen follows In part:
"I would etnte that In accoi dance with
Instructions from the Navy Department
this navy yard at the present time is closed
to all but olllcers, olllclats, enlisted of
civilian personnels of the naval establlsh
ment. If at the time It Is contemplated
to hold the field mass this condition still
exists, and this now seems probable, it
will not be practicable to pemlt visitors to
enter this navy yard, and while hpeclal
Permit might be granted to the priests to
perform tho religious service, it would not
be possible to admit the large crowds such
as took part last year and who would un
doubtedly desire to take pint this year
'Theiefore, I would suggest for your
consideration tnat you obtain permission
from the city authorities to hold the Held
mass In the League Island Park as close
., to the navy ynrd gate as practicable. If
this arrangement be made, It would be
possible for the olllcers and men of the
ships then at this navy yard nnd those
attached to the"lnailna barracks to con
veniently Join with your organization and
the people of Philadelphia in attending
this very worthy celebration In commemora
tion of the officers' and men who have given
their lives In the service of our country."

.Mr. Smith related an Incident of the ureal
Oljmpla show In London Just prior to tho
death of Klnc Kdward. the sessions of which
were attended by the KIiik and Queen
C V Watson, who at that time had one
of the Breatest stables of show horse in
America, asked Mr. Smith to bo to London
to assist In showing his string. In one of
the classes, known as "the pace and action"
class, Mr Smith was io drle the celebrated
American horse then so wldsly known as
My Maryland.
There were seventeen entries In this
class, representing the flower of horseflesh
not only of Kngland, but of many' coun
tries Competition was extremely keen.
The best drivers nnd the best horses In
the world extended themselves to win the
coveted "blue" under the-yes of the occu
pants of the royal box. Cheer after cheer
rang out as the equine bluebloods and their
eager drlei circled the spacious tan oval
The tense moment of the final try-outs
irrlxedtiud Mr. Smith and his M, Maryland
were sent out to compete with Walter
Wlnans's Little Toby Mr Wlnans was a
native American, who had taken up a
permanent residence In London, and he, too
was driving an American horse. Little Toby
bavins originally come fiom Philadelphia.
The judges, after calling the contestants
In. held prolonged discussions In a perfect
din of cheers and enthusiasm of the samp
sort tli.it make the rafters of the Third
Regiment Atmory vibrate at almot every
session of the Philadelphia Indoor Horse
Show, and finally decided that Little
Toby had fairly won the blue, and that
My Maryland was entitled to second honors.
But enthusiasm was equally divided not
only In the royaf box, but among the
crowds as well. Cheers turned to discus
sions moio or less vehement, If not angry.
Tile spectators were divided as to who
should have won the blue ribbon, as well
as King Edward and, Queen Alexandra
themselves, and the former, exercising his
loyal pierogatle requested the manage
ment and the judicial olllceis of tho show
to pcim't Mr Smith and My Maryland and
Mr. Wltianx and Little Toby to be sent
Into the ring the following day to compete,

Pioperly turned out to a Hiewster gig and
In his dress had not omitted the legulatlon
"topper" After making his bow to the
royal box. upon the tlrst circle of the ring.
Mr Smith settled down to the drive of his
life. With .-very encliclement of' the ring
lie action of the horses seemed to grow
better. Again and again they tomulcd the
tan oval and with each turn the Judges
found themselves In n quandary.
Finally the competitors wen- called Into
the Judges- stand and the Jurists of the
day requested that King Kdward. than
whom there was no greater lover of the
horse In nil Knlgand,, decide the event

band of twenty-seven pieces to play "Mary
