Letter to Brnndeis Gives War
Distress as Kenson for
Sacrifice.
Boston, June 30. Nathan Straus has
presented his steam yacht tho Slslllna
to the provisional executive committee
for general Zionist affairs of the Fed
eration of American Zionists, now In con
ference here, to relieve the general dis
tress prevailing as a result of tho war,
particularly In the Holy Land.
Ills gift, made In a letter to I.ouls D.
Bramlcls, chairman of the committee,
was presented to the conference to-day.
Tho letter reads as follows:
Dear Mr. Uraxpeis: In these dark
days for all humanity, and for our
brethren In particular, the importance
of taking steps to relieve tho ganernl
distress prevailing, especially in the
Holy Land, has become a matter of
paramount tmimrtance. It haa also
become the pressing duty of every one
to make sacrifices, or at least to dis
pense with some luxuries. In order to
furnish relief where It may be 'needed.
Tho world Is my country, to do
good Is my religion. I have, there
fore, resolved to make a gift to tho
provisional executive committee for
general Zionist nffatrs of my steam
yacht, the Slslllna. a description of
which Is herewith enclosed. This
jacht I have now placed In the hands
of brokers to be sold at a sacrifice so
that the cash may be realized as
quickly as possible to relieve the needs
that are pressing. The proceeds are
to be expended under your personal
direction In the way that you will
Ilnd most effective.
I have been deeply Impressed by the
manner In which you have always
sttod forth In behalf of right and Jus
tice and I therefora take tho liberty

there Is a shortngo of coal there nnd
little electric light. He added that tho
people are nulet and there Is no sign
of panic.
Apart from a considerable number of
German officers eeen In the capital there
nro no German troops excepting the crews
of the Goeben and the Breslau. Reports
In Constantinople regarding those war
ships are most contradictory, an Is the
case In London. The Breslau appears
nt Gnl.tt.t now and ngnln and looks the
same as usual to a layman. German

Sptcial Cable Ditpalch to Tun Si'..
Ixjnihi.v, July 1 (Thursday). The
Daily Krpmt publishes this mornln
nn article dealing with conditions In
Constantinople. It says stories that tho
city Is In n state of terror nnd f.tmll e
are grosly misleading.
"There Is no more famine In Constan
tinople than In Ixmdon." it goes on. "As
there Is no export trade rural product.
are available at ridiculous prices. Foi
Instance, chickens can be bought for
from in to 20 cents apiece, egxs nio
from t to 8 rents a dozen. For 2 rents
a loaf of brttid can be bought as good
us that In Kngland.
"Turkey Is much better supplied with
wheat than Germany nnd Austria. On
the other hand, beef nnd butter havo
almost doubled In price and potatoes
have almost disappeared, although the
loss Is not felt, -as potatoes are unpopular
with the poorer citizens. Luxuiles ot
nil kinds are nt prohttbtlve prices nnl
the absolute lack of coal may be fntnl,
"The aspect of the city Is normal and
It needs an effort of the Imagination
to realize that there Is a struggle on the
GnlllK)l! peninsula.
"The amusement houses are well tilled
and a resort known as the Petit Champ i
Is well patronized.
"Patriotism does not Include the use
of the French language, which Is mm.
iniinly known to tho shopkeepers. The
waiters, who nre German, have done
their utmost to Introduce their lap.
gu'ige. but have failed, Kven tho Get
man olllcers are compelled to tall;
French."
The writer of the Etprcts article s.iys
he encountered two of the crew nf the
Knidui, who admitted the lens of nearly
all of Germany's colonies, but they
added ;
"Germany Is going to make Tut key
her newest and best colony." He con
cludes h) saying that business In nil

SCRANTON I. C. S.
GETS $50,000 MORE
Morchnnts Association Ailrls to
Rankers' !?"00.000 to Keep
Concern Afloat.
Rtoanton, Pa., June 30 In the hope
of unravelling the tnngled affairs of the
International Correspondence Schools
and hold the Institution as one of Scrin
ton's leading Industries, the Scranton
Industrial Development Company to-day
subscribed J50.000 from Its 11,000,000
fund to help keep tho schools afloat.
Scranton bankers have also pledged
1500,000 for the .schools, nnd to-day It
was stilted that 1370,000 of the bankeis"
pool had been actually subscribed.
The- Industrial company has control
of a tt.004,000 fund, raised by popular
subscription, for nsslstlng local Indus
tries In time of distress and also en
courage outside Industries to locate here.
The managers of the fund have declared
their confidence that the schools ran
be put back on a sound financial basis,
and as n practical expression of their
confidence, the $50,000 was subscribed
without hesitation.
The bankers, however, agreed to give
aid to the f.tlteilng schools only on con
dition tlmt T. .1, Foster, president, and
his brother-in-law, V. L. Connell, would
have no hand In directing the ue of the
money. It was further made plain that
their money was to be used only In
nourishing the International Text Book
Company, whlrh controls the Interna
tional Correspondence Schools, nnd that
no part of their 1600,000 should go to
any of the other Foster-Conneli com
panies, Wfst Virginia, Coal, Florida
Land, Poultry Farms, fcj which havo
been a drag on the text book company
for years,
The hankers also Insisted that Foster's
salary be cut from 2n,u00 to 110,000 I
a year nnd thnt C onnell tie ilroppid from
the directorate.
It was with this undi rstandlng too
that the Scranton Industrial Company
agreed to chip In Its fBO.OOO,
The next move awaited here Is the
general slashing of fancy salaries of an
nrmy of title bearing employees, which,
It was h i hi. would be oi fit red shortly by
the boatd of directors.
The majority of the 30,1)00 stock
holders of the concern do not live In
Scranton. In the main they nm persons
of small means, clergymen, school teach-i
ers, small tradespi ople nnd factory em

W'ASltlNtiToM. June 30.- The !!srnl

with the IHB.OOO.MOlt of it enr ngo.
While the Treasury llgures arc such
as tu suggest the possibility of a bond
Issue or further reenue legislation, un
less relief Is obtained In the coming
year, reports from the Department of
Commerce for the twelve tlscal montln
Just ended present a more cheerful out

States has made u gigantic new trade

of this country having exceeded 11.000,

Of course the figures for the end of

the Income tax collections, t'p to the

received by the Treasury from Income

ex-jofllclals hope that these taxes will yield

If their expectations are realized, and
only $lN,0n0,000 was collected to-day.
there will still be $3fi,00n,000 to be
added to the revenues of the (lovern
ment by July 10, This $3(1,000,000 will
figure on the records of the next flec.tl
year. It probably will bring the csh
balance In the Treasury up to nbout
$00,000,000 for the starting of the new
year.
This hnlnnce will carry the Govern
ment along for some time, but many
fear that unless th'-re Is a relief from
war conditions some measures will have
to tie adopted to meet the drain in the
new tlscal year. The war revenue tax
law expires on January 1 next nnd
many believe that the President will be
obliged to call Congress In extra session
before December to teenact this meas
ure If the war continue.
