"I'll tell you what I nm joins to do
bout It." I replied, ' and you know
that I will be able to carry out my
threats. Either you stop stirring up
anti-American feeling in Turkey or 1
shall start a campaign of anti-German
sentiment here.
"You know, baron," I added, "that
you German! aro skating on very thin
lee In this country. Vcu know that the
Turks don't lovo you any loo well. In
fact, you know that Americana aro
more popular here than you an. Sup
baiting that 1 go out, tell the Turks
how you aro simply using them for
xour own benefit that you do hot
really regard them as your allies, hut
merely as pawns in the game which,
you are playing. Now. in stirring up
anil-American feeling here you are
touching my sui t est siwtt Ybu aro

Institutions to the att.-i, ks of the-Turks

Wangenhelm'g altitude chanted at
once He turned around, put his arm
on my shoulder .snd assumed a most
conciliatory, almost affectionate man
ner. "Come, let us be friends." he said
"I see that you are right about tills. I
see that such attacks might injure your
piends. tlie missionaries l piujui.se
you that they will he stopped."
I'mm that day the Turkish press
nerr- made the slightest unfriendly al
lusion in the l ulled States. The
abruptness with which tho attacks
stopped showed me thai the Hermann
had evidently extended to Turkey one
of the most cherished expedients of
the Fatherland- absolute government
control of the press. Hut when I think
of the Infamous pk.t? which Wangen
helm was Instigating "t thai moment,
his objection to the use of a few Amer
ican shells by Kuelish liatlleshlps If
Bnglsh halt!, -ships used any NUCh shells,
which 1 seriously doubt -seems almost
grotesque. In the early das Wangen
helm had explained to me our of Ger
many's main purposes in forcing Tur
key Into the conflict, lie made this
explanation Quietly mid n halently,
x as though ii had been unite the most
ordinary matter in the world sitting
In his offce, puffing awaj at his big
black Herman cigar, he unfolded (Jcr

real "holy war" ii s one means of de

In the world. "Turkey herself Is not
the really Important mailer," said
Wangenhelm. "Her army Is a small
one. and we do not expect il to do wry
much For the most part II will act
on the defensive. Hut tho idg thing
Is the Moslem world. If wo can stir
the Mohammedans up agalnal lie- Eng
lish and Russians, we can force them
to make peace."
What Wangenhelm evidently meant
by the "log Ihlug" became apparent on
OV IS when the Sllltan issued his
declaration of war; this declaration was
really an appeal for n jihad, or a "holy
wai against the inridei. so,,!, after
ward the Sheik ul-Ulnm published his
proclamation, summoning ihe whole

Recently the department has Issued

The farmers' bulletins are issued to
help fanners and their families In their
daily tasks, hut some of them are suld
to be quite as valuable to the city

letins dealing with canning methods,
the common household rodents and In

I am the product of a virile race.
I am embryonic of the future.
I am truly typically American, for on these shoes I was born. '
I am the epitome of a nation's spirit.
I sway men's souls as love sways men's hearts.
I lure men from their cares and snare them with the gossamer web of forgetfulness.
I am the roseate reflection of bounteous harvests happily garnered.
I drive the shadows from a thousand hearts.
I have been revered by generations gone memories of my visits linger like benedictions with
heads now bared with age and snow-crested with care.
I hold all men vassal to my mood.
I keep open house with the latchstring out.
I am a genial host, bringing all the children flocking home.
I preside with gentle grace and benevolent mien at those family reunions which so sitmallv
mark my natal day. 6 J
I marshal a host of minions to do my bidding; from soup to- turkey from sugar-oozing yellow
yams to toothsome golden russet mince pie from course to course, amid the ripple of family
chatter, the laughter of children, the beating of drum sticks I am King.
I demand the best of viands to grace my board.
I am the feudal lqrd of all things good.
I am the spirit of Thanksgiving.
