TWO
SENSATION IK
WASHINGTON IT
PORTE'S ACTION
Consequences of Turkey's En
trance Into Conflict to Be
Far-Rcaching. Balkan States
May Follow.
Washington.—Turke.v's entrance in
to the field of warlike operations,
though not unexpected, has caused a
sensation In official circles hero be
cause of Its probable far reaching ef
fect. I’robatily no one factor in tho
great Ktiropean struggle is regarded
so uncertain in quantly and quality
as the Turkish empire. The proba
bility that by yesterday's act of war
against Russia, ths Ralkan Htatea may
tie drawn Into the great conflict,
thereby cutting off a vast quantity of
food supplies, has brought home to
the officials here the realisation of the
Interest of the United (States in this
last development.
Bsd at Outset.
The result of Turkey's entry upon
the scene ns a belligerent as viewed by
military experts here from a purely
technical point of view, will he to
greatly embarrass Russia at tho out
set.
in official Washington for months
It has been known that the Ottoman
government was preparing for mil
itary operations. No dispatches have
been received from Constantinople in
several days.
Ambassador Morganthau previously
had reported (he activities of the war
party the efforts of the large commer
cial Interests of Turkey, already
. weakened by previous wars,-to pre
serve Turkey's neutrality, and of the
critical conversations between the
Turkish war office and the diplomatic
representatives here of the allied
powers have believed from the outset
that as soon as Turkey had fully pre
pared her army end navy for the con
flict she would cast the die for war.
Italy, Too.
Great Rrltain, Russia and France
have, through their amlmsendors,
made it plain to Turkey, It Is tinder-
Htood, what the consequences of her
entry might he. They are under
stood to he that the Anglo-French
fleet which Is comparatively unop
posed In the Mediterranean, would
bombard the porta of Asia Minor,
Oreece probably yould Join the allies
ogalnat Turkey and that the Ralkan
States might bo drawn Into the gen
eral Imbroglio. With the poeolbittty
that Italy might he found fighting
Turkey as well.
Jap Float.
That the conflict might extend to
Egypt, l’ersta or Arabia with the pos
sibility of the Japanese fleet sup
porting operations of the allies lots
been discussed here in quarters
friendly to the allies.
When reports were current of war
among Mussulman in India it was
made clear that Japan would offer her
aervlcea to Orest Rrltain feeling that
the spirit of the Anglo-Japauese al-'
llance compelled her to support her
ally in maintaining the special Inter
ests of England in Eastern Asia.
The general opinion here Is that at
leaat in the beginning and for some
time thereafter Turkey would be
greatly circumscribed In her military
and naval activities.
Uncertain Elements.
One of the uncertain elements on
the political side of the problem 1* the
effect upon the great Moslem popula
tion of India Then, too, there are
probabilities that Egypt will be drawn
Into tha war through her political and
religious affiliations with Turkey.
From a military point of view it is
l>elleved Russia will have little to fear
from an attack by the Turkish army.
From the naval viewpoint Turkey
cannot work much harm, In the opin
ion of experts hero. While her navy
has been Increased by the addition of
two Gsrmnn armored cruisers, tha
Ibeslau and the Ooeben, the Russlnn
Hlack Rea fleet still Is regarded as
more than a match for those two ves
sels.

IMPORTATION OF
DOGS, ENGLAND
Law That All Dogs Be Held in
Quarantine Six Months. Much
Worry Given Refugees.
Dover.—England has a law regu
lating the importation of doga which
I has caused great grief to refugees
! forced to seek the safety of British
soil. The law requires all dogs to be
jheld in quarantine for six months be
! fore they can be given liberty in Eng
land and officials at porta of entry
have no authority lo waive it in any
case.
Many Belgian women and children
saved their dogs when war drove them
from home and managed to keep their
pets through all tile rush and scram
ble of the exodus, hut when they
reached Dover or other
ports of entry they were told that
English laws would not admit ani
mals which were not held for six
months.
One woman at Folkestone asked to
ho taken back to Ostend with her dog,
but Ostend was closed. In fact it
was probably in the hands of the Ger
mans who held less terror for her than
the order that she must leave her dog.
Finally she consented to have one of
iher friends drown the pel, as she said
| she could not bear to have It locked
up In a compound for six months.
Few refugees had any knowledge
of the strict English law about ani
mals However, some of the experi
enced travelers who came from Bel
gium managed to slip small pets past
inspectors because of the great rush
and the hurried examination given all
I luggage.
i One Flemish refguee brought hla
wife, eleven children and a dog to
Folkestone. He was penniless, but
unwilling to part from the dog and
asked that quarters he obtained for
tho family In Folkestone so they
might be able to visit the dog every
j day.

IF 80 PROSPEROUS WHY
TAKE OFF ANY TRAINS?
To The lerald.
If tho pros* earnings of the Georgia
railroad chow a splendid Increase in
1914 over 1913 and the operating ex
p nse* are much le»» then why shoul l
that road be making application to
lake off four trains that come Into and
go out of Augusta? If reports are
correct the gross earnings In 1913 were
SS.I 17.766 and the operating expenses
were $2,759,904, showing a net earn
ing of $357,682.
In 1914 the gross earnings were $3,-
$27,444 and the operating expenses.
$2,612,075, showing net earnings of
$695,872, a decrease tn operating ex
penses over the previous year of $127,-
831 and an increase in net earnings
of $357,510.
Of course, It Is the road's business
as to how economical It should be rur,
but the public should have something
to say about taking off four trains
which mean a great deal to Augusta
and the territory of the Georgia road.
Mr Wtckersham has done a great
deal since becoming head of the Geor
gia and the greatest of all was the
inauguration of fast passenger service
between Augusta and Atlanta. Now
that the announcement Is made that
these trains art* to be taken off. If
the commission will allow, the news la
received with a shock, especially in
light of the facts thnt the earnings
are much greater and the expenses of
‘ operation much less than last year. If
| the Georgia road had announced that
I the trains would be put back after
i normal conditions are restored It would
I be different, but no such announce
ment was made. Why doesn't our M,

the matter • AUGUSTA CITIZEN.
