Washington, D. C Two big Amer lean armored cruisers, the Tennessee and the Montana, have received rush orders to proceed to Turkish waters to look after the interests of American citisens. The cruisers are now in reserve at the Philadelphia navy yard, the Ten nessee being the flagship of Rear Ad miral Austin M. Knight. Tbey should be ready to aail within 24 hours and under ordinary circum stances should reach Constantinople about November 25. Full complements of marines will be carried by the two cruisers when they ssil for Turkish waters. Orders were issued for assembling the re quired number at Philadelphia. From the Norfolk navy yard 400 marines will be drawn. The first disposition of the State de partment had been to refrain from sending any American warships to the Bosphorus, for the double reason that their appearance might be taken aa an evidence of American participation in the present Balkan war and its settle. ment and that ao rapid has been the progress of the war that probably the ships could Dot reach Constantinople in time to be of any service. Since the president s return from Cincinnsti, however, and after a con ferenre with the State department officials, the fact waa demonstrated that American naval vessels could be emolnved aa places of refuge for American citiiena in Turkey, ment in having first to applv for med iation to secure an armistice, later re questing mediation, pure and simple, and then virtually being obliited to yield to the army which repudiates mediation. Probably only the fact that the powers have not replied to the request for mediation prevented a ministerial crisis and extricated the government, as it will not now be called upon to take any action. The committee of Union and Pro gress has taken up strongly the cry, of no surrender. London The Daily Telegraph's cor respondent says: I "The decision has been reached that the sultan and government shall re main in the capital, even if the troops of the allies enter. The heir apparent and the other princes have expressed atrong opinions that it would be shameful and exceedingly dangerous to abandon Constantinople and retreat to Bresau. "The opinion is gaining ground that the differences of the powers msy bring about a European war by which Turkey might profit and might re establish her position if she resists long enough to muster into line new levies from Asia, numbering 600,000 men, when the general conflagration breaks out Several high officials at Tchatalja demand that the new troops from the Black Sea and also the for mer army of Thrace be given a chance to fight." 1912 CORN CROP LARGEST IN HISTORY OF COUNTRY CHILDREN RULE ISLAND INJOY THI FREE LIFE AND OPEN AIR FULLY. incomplete and two counties, Custer I of general anarchy or the existence of and Adams, missing, Wilson has a Iota! vote of 28.920 and Taft 28.418.

Two slf-Rallant Young People Often Cut Off for Weeko From Outer World, but Fear Naught Lendon. There are perbapa a few boya and xlrle who have uot dreamed bow flue It would be to be klug and uueen or an Island. On a rook island of 70 acrea. called Bieepnoiuie, In the lliiatol channel dwell a boy and girl who are the en vied of bundreda of othera. For the boy la "king" of the Island and "mon arch of all be surveys," while his sla ter la "uueen." They are the chil dren of a weat of England business man, who baa leased the Island, and Installed his children. Jamea and Madge, there to rule and play at en plres to their hearts' content Owing to Ita dlatance from land. Ine uncertainty of landing: and the danger of regaining the boat very few people ever visit It, and few boatmen on the coast care to under take the taak of conducting tourists there. Bteepholme waa once a fortreaa commanding the channel, and mere are still scattered all over the Isl and the abandoned ammunition atores and offices, while the batterlea are still almost Intact, even to the big tuna. Jamea la a courteous, reliant and sturdy young man. He la well versed In everything connected with hla Isl and "empire," can point out the neat- Ing placea of the peregrine-falcon, buzzard and other rare blrda. Aa naturalist, be can name many rare plants, and la proud of the beautiful pony which la found there In Ita wild state. Rabbits are plentiful, and the 'king" amuses himself by keeping the anlmala under. The fish are unequal ed In the channel. It la only necea- sary to bang a net upon a few polea at the end of the Island and when the tide recedee there la an ample aupply of fish to ?at for montha. And Jamea la a busy "king." Wa ter baa to be carried up a steep, nar row pathway, and donkey must be tended to; potatoes and vegetablea muat be procured from the varloua gardena, perched at dangeroua angles round the precipitous alopea. "Queen" Madge la a pretty girl In her teens, with a beautiful complex ion. She dlachargea her domestic du tlea admirably, and preaidea at tea with quiet ease and dignity. She has fowla to attend to. and her herd of goats, adorned with fearsome borne, to follow her obediently, each answer ing its name. Madge ia passionately fond of all anlmala, even the donkey, and they all vie with each other for juat I moment'a companionship with the lsl and queen. The two young, aelf-re- ltant Islanders, though often cut off for weeks from the outer world, are perfectly happy and think there la no place like their Island home. Their father, who regularly vlstta hla children, waa Induced to lease the Island out of consideration for the health of two other membera of the family, who have now developed Into veritable giants so much did they benefit from the bracing air and healthy condltlona of the Island. LITERALLY TORN TO SHREDS Loveelck Youth, Stung by J I bee, 8lta on Powder Keg to Write Love Letter. Indiana, Pa Stung to the quick by the Jlbea of bta companions while he waa writing a letter to hla sweetheart Lloyd Relthmelller, aged eighteen years, son of George Relth melller, a wealthy coal operator of Smlckaburg, thta county, went to the powder house at the mine, and, alt- ting down on a keg of powder, etarted to write hla love epistle. Relthmelller had been In the bouae but a few mtnutea when there was a terrific explosion, and be waa lifted through the air and landed 160 feet away In a creek. He waa literally torn to ahreda and died early next morning. Relthmelller entered the powder bouae of the mine at about seven o'clock In the evening. He had been there but a ahort time when a ter- rlflo explosion shook the neighbor hood, and the powder house disap peared. George Harding, a friend. healing a detonation, ran to tha spot where the powder house bad atood and began looking for Relthmelller, After aome time he located the In jured boy In the creek, a blackened mass of flesh, with his clothing burned away. It la not known what caused the explosion. Relthmelller did not re cover consciousness, and nothing could be ascertained, aa no one waa near the powder houae at the time of the accident The boys who were taunting young Relthmelller about writing to hla girt left the mine office and went home when the lovesick lad decided to fin ish his letter at the mine house.

This same recipe makes the most delicious cream puffs, but they must be baked on oiled paper In slow oven Instead of being fried. Cream of Celery Soup. Wash a bunch of celery and cut Into Inch lengths. If you wish you may use for this the outer stalks of a large bunch of celery, keeping the white, crisp pieces for use on the ta ble, uncooked.

Last year I spent six months there. My fam ily, who went out with me last July on a month s vacation trip, all of ua having return tlcketa back to New York, are atlll there and what la more, do not want to return. From our experience I am sure that few people In the United States, even those on the Pacific coast, hav. any conception of the beautiful scenery, the glorious climate, the gorgeous sunrises and aunsets, the auperb rain bows, the exquisite foliage and ver dure and the entrancing condltlona of life In a semi-tropical clime where none of the rigors of winter are known and the delights ot the tropics can be enjoyed with none of the tropical objections to detract from that enjoyment writes a correspon dent of the Philadelphia Sunday Record. To moat of ua the Hawaiian islands represent a few dots like pin-points on the map In the middle of the Pa cific ocean and If we think of them at all It la to dimly recall something we learned In our school days about Cap tain Cook and the missionaries, and In our mind's eye we see some half naked aavages lolling nnder palm trees. Only here and there la a per son who knows that Honolulu Is as near Paradise as anything on earth; that Its streets are paved like other cities, some good, some bad; that Its buildings are modern. Its parka splen did, Its schools as good as in any city on the mainland, that Paris gowns can be bought In Ita shops, that more than a thousand automobllea run on Ita streets and that ita people are among the most traveled, cultivated, hospitable and charming In the world. I have been over most of the map and If there Is a more beautiful place or one with more natural opportunities for happiness, I have not yet discov ered It Sunrise over Diamond Head, the old volcanic crater which dominates Walklkl Beach, seen when taking a morning awlm In water that averages 78 degrees Fahrenheit the year round. Is a delight to the eye. The pink flush of the dawn shading into the azure of a tropical sky and both re flected in water clear as crystal. touched here and there with white capa. together with the Intense green of the trrplcal foliage, and sometimes all the colors blended In a rainbow In the west make an Impression not soon to be effaced. Ever Changing Panorama. In the early morning Mt Olympus, Mt Tantalus and the other mountalna back of the city - present an ever- changing panorama, sometimes dark green with overhanging gray clouds, their scarred sides lost In the mist at other times the tops as clear aa cut glass and the ridges outlined against the blue as sharp as the teeth of a saw. These pictures are presented to the early riser even from the deck of a ship on the morning of Its arrival off the ahorea of the Island of Oahu and recollections of them recur to the memory for months afterward, bring ing a longing for the place that seems to get into the blood. Should one happen to be at Walklkl at midday, under the raya of a trop ical sun, and drowsy with the scent of tropical flowers, soothed by the singing of the birds, and lulled by the rustling of the palms and the murmur of the waves, yet dazzled by Rsllcs of Greet Armsds. During the few weeks In which the Tomermorr (Argyleshire) treaaure hunt haa been in progresa a remark able collection of relics has been re covered from the Armada wreck. The Inevitable nieces ot eight have been found in comparative abundance, and lead, copper, pottery, and plate have been discovered in large quantities. Amon the most peculiar finds were three exquisitely shaped teeth firmly fixed in a man's Jawbone, almost the cnmnlete skeleton of a boy about 14. and an iron shell containing light soft metal.
