LIMIT JE WAR.
Powers Fear Campaign In
European Turkey.
GRAIN IS NOW CONTRABAND.
Crisis at Constantinople Because of
Outside Pressure to Prevent Carry
ing War Into European Domains.
Other Nations Tell Sultan
of Fall of His Empire.
Home, Oct. 10. It Is understood here
that the powers will make reprcscn
tntlons at Constantinople notifying
Turkey that Italy, with a view to
avoiding grave complications, the con
sequences of which would be detri
mental chiefly to Turkey, has agreed
to limit the war to Tripoli.
Moreover, this principle will be aban
doned If the Ottoman government Is
unable to restrain excesses against
Italy on Turkish territory and tlnw
force Italy to carry the war Into other
provinces of the Turkish empire for
the direct protection of her subjects
and their interests which Germany
could not safeguard without using
force.
The crisis at Constantinople, due to
pressure brought upon the sultan by
the powers to have him realize that
any trouble in European Turkey might
be fntnl to the whole empire, may lead,
according to reports from reliable
sources, to a complete surrender, Tur
key choosing this particular situation
to save her face.

boat destroyer Korea arrived here es
cortlng n steamer with prisoners of

destroyer which surrendered at Tripo
li. London. Oct. 10. Telegrams posted
at the Baltic Mercantile and Shipping
exchange state that Turkey has de
clared grain a contraband of war and
that the banks refusing to finance
shipments the loading of vessels has
been stopped.

cres May Be Expected.
Constantinople, Oct. 10. It is stated
"hero that the porte has notified the
powers that she will expel all Italians
from the Ottoman empire within a
given time unless Italy desists from
further action In Tripoli.
It is understood that many' towns In
rtlie interior have notified the govern
ment that the population will take the

CONGRESSMAN JOHNSON.
Whoso District of Columbia Plans
Alarm Washington Taxpayers.
5) 1911, by American Press Association.
Washington, Oct. 10. Property own
ers In this city are greatly exercised
over the proposal of Itepresentatlve
Johnson of Kentucky, chairman of the
house committee on the District of
Columbia, that the government shall
cease to bear half the burden of the
conduct of municipal government in
Washington.
It Is proposed to repeal the organic
law under which the District operates
as a political entity nnd to substitute
other legislation, in lieu of the ?uv
eminent paying half the expense of
the District government. Mr. Johnson
has suggested that an annual appropri
ation of $L000,000 should suffice At
present congress appropriates approxi
mately Sli.000.000 for this purposn
MAY IGNORE UNION LABOR.
Power Presses to Print Money May Be
Installed.
Washington, Oct. 10. In order to ef
fect n saving of nearly a half million
dollars a year It is possible that Sec
retary of the Treasury MacA'cagh may
Ignore the violent opposition of organ
ized lalxir and install power presses in
the bureau of engraving and printing
to turn out the government's money.
The proposition became acute as the
result of a decision rendered by Comp
troller of the Treasury Tracewell.
In 1898 congress passed a law pro
viding that all bonds, notes and checks
shall he printed on hand roller presses.
The treasury department has from
time to time attempted to have this
law repealed so that It might Install
modern power presses, but organized
labor always managed to block the ef
fort. Recently the Philippine govern
ment, desiring to issue sliver certifi
cates, raised the question through the
bureau of insular affairs here whether
the bureau of engraving nnd printing
must print these certificates on hand
presses. The director of the bureau
reported thot ho could save between
$7,000 and $S.000 on the job if power
presses were used.

IOST IN THE PROMISED LAND.
Owing to tho absence of sign
boards at the intersecting roads In
southern Wayne county or on ac
count of their weather-beaten condi
tion, a number of Honesdale school
teachers and automobile drivers
were unfortunately lost In the vicin
ity of the promised land they desired
to reach on Friday last.
At different places along tho way
one of Honesdalo's lawyers, who
accompanied the teachers to Sterling,
where a district institute was held,
climbed trees, poles, fences and even
barked his shins In an effort to read
what the different boards had once
said. Some of the boards were
tacked on an angle of 45 decrees.
others' were perpendicular and some
were round lying upon the ground,
partly covered with leaves, In some
instances it was almost necessary to
stand on one's head to decipher the
name of the guide board. No won
der the travelers got lost with the
guide posts in such shape.
The supervisors in southern and
central Wayne county should see that
the sign boards are properly taken
care of. If weather-beaten or other
wise not readable, they should be re
placed by new guide boards.
It Is claimed that only one wagon
load of teachers reached Its destina
tion in a reasonable time that the
others floundered along the Way, but
Anally got to Sterling In time for the
Institute.
