TURKISH "JUSTICE." Curious Cata of Man Who Wai Guil ty of Having Daughter. Dr. Clarke, a famous traveler of about a euitury usotells of the fol lowing reiuarknble ease, which was tried ut tlie Greek Island of Cos: A youn' mun desperately in love with n girl of Siam-hlo eutierly sought to mar ry her, but Ilia proposals were rejected In consequence of his disappointment he bought some poison and destroyed himself. The TurkiKh police Instantly arrested the father of the young wo muu as the cause, by Amplication, of the man's death. Under the tilth spe cies of homicide he became, therefore amenable for this uct of suicide. When the rase caine before tho mag istrate it was uified literally by the accusers that "If he (the accused) hud not Jmd a daughter the deceap would uot have fallen in love; conse iuentl he would uot have been disappointed, consequently he would uot have swil lowed poison; consequently he woalu uot have died. But he (the acciised liud a daughter, nnd the deceased ha: I'ailen in love, and had been disup pointed, and had swallowed poison aud bad died." ' I'pou all these nceouuts be was call ed upon to pay, the price of the youiii; luau's life, und this, beiuj,' fixi-d u't tin film of 80 plasters, was accordingly exueted. Another instance was related to Dr Clarke, which occurred at the island of Sumos, as a characteristic feature of Turkish justice that is to say, a so phistical application of a principle rig idly foundpd upon this tifih species of ''homicide by Implication." The Capu dan I'asha reusoned with the people of Samoa on tho propriety of their paying for u Turkish frigate which was wreck ed upon their territory and the crew lost "because the accident would not have happened unless I hell' Island had been hi the way." Case and Comment FOUR TYPES OF MEN. French Method of Picking Soldiers For Special Lines of Work. "A good Judge of human nature la born aud not made," declared Dr. G titanley Hall, president of Clark uni versity. "Baseball scouts are not able to tell how they pick men; neither tali any employer tell how be picks his men." Dr. Hall described the French system of dividing mpii into four general types and selecting them for particular jwsl lions in the army accordingly. He said; "First The digestive ty. It Is characteristic of the heavy jaw, broad abdominal region. Such men require more fond, need It regularly, must be well fed. Such men are best on the de fensive. They are hard to dislodge from i he trenches. "Second. Xhe respiratory type. Nos trils and ears are large; large, Ion;: chest; demand plenty of pure ulr; get restive tmder coutinement Such mo ire selected for woik on high moun tains. They are good in the charge, In making an attack. Such men exclusive ly are selected for the aviation corps. "Third. The muscular tyiie. Head Is square, limbs; long and strong, body short. This type is good for the bayo net charge In the artillery service. "Fourth. The Tjervous type. Large head tapers down to a sharp Jaw. Such men have power to draw upon their re serves. They can get their second wind. The really great are men of this type. Along with this type Is closely associat ed a willingness to sacrifice self for the good of others.

They must be of draft age or older, and must have college training or be "men of sufficient actual business ex perience to enable them to grasp the subject and be relied upon after com pleting the course." No other re quirements are stated in the call. The University of Oregon at Eu gene has been designated as a train ing station for the course. The In struction of the first section will be gin October 1. Plenty of applications have been received already, but the government now wants new sections to be started every week therafter. Each class will be limited to fifty men, and these will be expected to devote their entire time to the train ing. Th,e army's need is so urgent that the students showing the most aptitude will probably be called be fore the end of the six weeka The men will act as shipping clerks, stores clerks, balance of stores clerks, etc., at bases nnd field depots, and be responsible for buy ing, handling and accounting for mu nitions ' and military equipment, Thousands of lives will depend upon their accuracy and efficiency In get ting ammunition and ordnance to the fighting lines, and the War Depart ment demands men who "are 100 per cent efficient." , The course at the University of Or,egon will be under charge of C. C. Jeremiah, who has been assigned to the work by the War Department A fee of $20 will be charged to meet the heavy expense of giving It. En llstment Is required at the close of the course. If the men are called to duty and are placed In the field they will receive the rank of sergeant, which carries with It a salary of from $40 to $60 a month, according to grade, with a 20 per cent Increase In case of foreign service. All men taking the course will probably be made sergeants as soon as they get Into the field,, although the govern ment does not guarantee this. The training will Include Industri al and scientific management, the re ceipt, handling and shipping of ord nance material, conversational French, and perhaps typewriting. The man who can operate a type writer will have an advantage and stand the best chance of early pro motion to commissioned rank. Director Jeremiah comes from the University of Pennsylvania', where he has be,en connected with a similar course. He says: "Every man should be made to realize that the course Is not given with the view that the men will make money after th,ey enlist. It Is a purely patriotic move and the men taking the course must sacrifice something for their country. At the University of Penn sylvania we had In our class mer chants, ' lawyers; manufacturers, brokers, etc. men who were making salaries of anywhere from $1,200 to $10,000 per yean. They sacrificed home, salary, prospects and every thing else to bevof service to their country, and we shall expect the same of the students,out here." Application blanks for admission to the stores course will be furnished on request. Address C. C. Jeremiah, University of Oregon, Eugene.
