(By Courier) International Intrigue, con piracy, secret diplomacy, propaganda and censorship are more rampant in Torkey today than before the war. In stead of a new era of comity and dis interestedness oat in this storm center of civilization, there is at present raw and ruthless self-aggrandisement and exploitation. Like vultures perched be side the carcass of a stricken deer and daring to take occasional pecks at the till quivering body, the European powers have gathered hungry eyed by the death bed of "the sick man of Europe." One looks In vain for any league of nations spirit or practice out here. Tet these are the powers who have at Paris voted the league of nations igto exist ence. and who have agreed to abide by its princiules. If the present league is to become reality anywhere It must be right now and here In Turkey. Thla is admittedly the testing time and the testing place of the league Ide If it fails at this Juncture in the near east. It fails altogether and cannot work anywhere else. Farts Ovtweigh Theory. As every disinterested eyewitness of conditions knows. Turkey's future is the best of arguments for some sort of un selfish international agreement. Unless the powers can get together in comity to salve this territorial riddle In a way that will serve the welfare of the pres ent population there will surely follow other wars Involving Vll Europe. Every consideration that makes a league of nations desirable exists in Intensified form within the area of the old Otto man empire. No parlor statesman can desire a. league of nations more fer vently ahd Intelligently than, say, the Americans hereabouts, who have trav eled out of the realm of theory into the reelon of hard and present actualtles. ilut uc first fact that confronts even the most casual observer is that all the ideals and purposes of such a league are alien to the present practices of the r.uropean nations right kere and no months after the adoption of the cove nant by the peace conference. "How can two walk together except they be acreedr la a partnership possible be tween altruistie America, ana Imperial istlc Europe, as both are operating to day In Turkey? To America the league means a public-spirited union against war, and for the protection of the weaker peoples To European nations here (and I shall recite particulars) It means nothing of the sort. .New "spheres," new domln ions, new concessions, new exploltta tlon are what our partners In the pos sible league behold in Turkey.

I am bound to ask, as my com patriots In thla comer of the earth so far from home are continually asking. sucn questions as these: Does the league of nations mean for us that we must assent, without criti cism or protest, to the cold-blooded massacres, in Smyrna and Ita hinter land.' of surrendered and unarmed Turks by Greek soldiers? Does the league of nations mean that trance's desires upon Syria, and her present conduct there the voice of the protesting people being smothered by censorship the while are condoned or approved by America? 14 loea the league of nations mean that luly's occupation of Adalla and of the purely Turkish region lying behind, clear to Konia, has the approval of the Inited states? Does the league of nations mean that we agree to the creation of a vast new Armenia, stretching from the Black to the Mediterranean, and almost or entirely to the Caspian, with about so per cent of the population subject to a 10 per cent minority bent on reprisals ana racial and religious strife? Does the league of nations mean that in flat contradiction of her own and allied pledges of autonomy for the na tives.

The Tortland Railway, Light & Power company today filed with the pub lic service commission application for an Increase in rates. This is pursuant to the company's Intention as an nounced following the 12 per cent wage increase allowed the company's em-pic-yes" by the war labor board recent ly. This increase, the company's peti tion asserts. Increases Its annual ex penses $350,000, and an increase in rates is sought sufficient to make a minimum return of 7 per cent upon tke value of the street railway property as determined by the commission. The company makes representations that the net earnings of the system for the 12-montbs period ending June 30, 1919, were insufficient to pay in terest on Its bonded Indebtedness and its maturing street Improvement assessments. The value of the street railway prcperty as fixed by the public serv Ice commission in Its order of Novem ber 19. 1918. was $18,568,073.56, as December 31, 1916. Between the latte date and July 31, 1919. the company leges it has added Improvements and betterments netting an additional va uation Of $129,417.15, bringing the val uatioc up to $18,698,510.70. Earnings Held Slight. The company asserted "that for th 12 months' period ending June 30, 191 the net operating revenue of the street railway system was $792,203.53, whic is equivalent to 4.24, per cent on th value of the street railway property established by the commission." That the net earnings provided no retur whatever upon that portion of the value of the said street railway sys tern represented by the Investment of the stockholders, is further charged. The petition shows since the com mission's order of January 5, 1918. establishing a 6-cent fare, operating expenses have Increased, materially through conditions beyond control of the company. On that date the averag wage of platform employes was ap proximately 43 cents an hour as estab lished by a board of arbitration i October, 1917. Subsequent increases, says the company, have since increased wages periodically, and the war board 12 per cent order will increase its oper ating expenses approximately $350, OUU a year. The application alleges that since th rendition of the six-cent fare order op erating costs have increased greatly so that notwithstanding an increase in traffic, net earnings have not increased Earnings Fall Off. As Indicating that a material increase in traffic may not be expected in Port land In the immediate future the peti tton snows that for July this year gross earnings of the system were $3000 less than for July last year, and it is estimated that gross earnings for the year ending June 30. 1920, will not exceed the gross earnings for the year ending June 30. 1919. Assuming that the gross revenues for the next year will equal those of the past year, it la asserted that net earn ings will not exceed $392,203, equiva lent to only 2.1 per cent on the value of the railway property. To show the increase In operating expenses, exclusive of taxes and depre ciation, the application gives the fol lowing figures showing operating ex penses since 191a, inclusive: 1915, $1,707,912.35; 1916, $1,697,686.69; 1917, $2,017,136.17; 1918, $2,890,228.68; for the 12 months ending June 30. 1918, $2,410,- 814.66; for the 12 months ending June 30, 1919, 13,119.791.19.

BOTH SIDES ARE DISSATISFIED Company Ask9 Fare Rise and Men Want Bigger Wage Increase. Mutual dissatisfaction over the recent award of the war labor board, increas ing the wages of carmen of the Port land Railway, Light A Power company, has led to the filing of a petition by the corporation praying for an in crease in fares through the medium of the public service commission, and to the calling of a referendum by the street-car union to vote upon a new and undlvulged wage proposal. The petition of the company, filed yesterday by Franklin T. Griffith, pres Ident. sets forth the Inability of the street railway to meet the increasd op erating expense created by the war labor board's award of a 12 per cent wage advance, and asks for higher fares. At a recent session of the street-car workers members were almost unani mous, it is said, in pronouncing the 12 per cent increase wholly Inadequate to meet the Increased cost of living, and In declaring general disappointment with The failure to receive the 20 per cent advance requested by the union ists. New resolutions, presenting a substi tute wage schedule, have been formu lated by the carmen's union and will be placed before the membership for a referendum vote on Monday, according to H. E. Kidney, president of the or ganisation, who declined to make known the revised terms that will be voted upon. Balloting will be con ducted at the regular polling places of the union the shops and car barns of the street railway and the result of the referendum, which Is known to be upon the matter of an Increase greater than that awarded by the war labor board, will determine the attitude of the carmen In subsequent negotiations. The men are very dissatisfied with the war labor board's decision," said President Kidney, "and will take a ref erendum as to the new scale at Mon day's balloting. The first demand of the union was for 33 1-3 per cent in crease. We received a 9 per cent ad vance at that time. In the present con troversy the carmen asked for a further increase of 20 per cent. We have re ceived 12 per cent. The total of both wage increases. It will be seen, is ma terially less than the original demand, though living costs have risen steadily." MISSOULA, Mont., Aug. : 15. The first casualty In the ranks of men fighting forest fires in District No. 1 of the forest service occurred today when C Lewis of Tcoma dropped dead at the Cold Creek blaze near St. Regis.
