"TIio rotations between Germany and Turkoy have been sev orcil according to dlroot Information from Constantinople" This announcoment Is mndo by the Copenhagen correspondent of the Kx chango Telegraph company. Tlio feclhiB against Oormany, the advices furtlior say, has boon growing, particularly after last week's events The Gorrrinns recently domandod the cruiser Hamldloh. tho only large ship then In possession of Turkey, as comnonsallon for tho Brcslau, tho former Gorman cruiser which was do Btroycd In tho Dardanelles whllo un dor the Turkish flag.

'Whllo no official uotlco of tho broach of relations bo twoon Turkoy and Oormany or rather tho central powers, for without doubt Austria 1s Involved with Germany in tho dlsputo with tho Ottoman govern' mont has reached Washington, of ficials expressed llttlo nurprlso at the . . . . uoponiiagou mspaicu rcceivuu iruui London saying that Germany and Tur key had severed relations. In official circles Hero for somo tlmo It has bocn realized that In her efforts to servo both Turkoy and Bulgaria In tho division of spolln resulting from tho enforced treaty with Roumanla. Germany had Incurred tho 111 will of both her nllles. Following tho conclusion of tho pcaco treaty with Ttoumanla at Jassy, both Turkey and Bulgaria laid claim to much or tho torrltory which hou mania has boon forced to cede to hor enemies. Included in those claims wbb tho title to tho railway running from Adrlanoplo to Dcadoagatch, nnd this became tho sourco or tho greatest con tontlon botweon tho two allied nations, Gormanv for somo tlmo endeavored to luduco tho two countries to nottlo this dlsputo amicably by suggesting that tho nation which failed to obtain tho railway should recolvo other com nonsntlon. Dollef In Turkoy Hint favoritism was bolng shown Bulgaria by Germany in tho negotiations, according to rcconl dispatches rccelvod horc, caused n rapid growth of anti-Gorman fooling In Constantinople Shortngo of food, weariness of war nnd dissatisfaction with tho Young Turk pnrty becauso of Its submission to Gorman control recently found ex pression In Constantinople In food riots and munitions uprisings which havo been sternly suppressed by tho military authorities. ' That Turkoy has bocomo more nnd mora weary of tho war was Indicated In tho falluro of tho latest Turkish loan In Juno. According to Swiss dis patches only 12,000,000 was obtained out of 32,000,000 sought It is believed that Germany, calling on hor nlllos, Bulgaria and Austria, to assist hen will undertake to deal stornly with Turkoy, and, through tho thousands of Gorman agents In that country, wilt seok to dlsplaco tho Young Turk party and Install somo faction which can bo dopendod upon to obey tho mandates of tho contral powers. It was also polntod out that tho Turkish army Is offlcorcd almost on tlroly by Germans, and that whllo the Turkish diplomatic authorities might sovor relations with Germany, tho nrmy would romaln thoroughly Gor man. It tho Copenhagen report should provo truo, the military situation, may bo favorably nffeotod In tho Interest of tho entente nlllos.

O. Chopman.) "You aro, very unfair!" "Why not put It clever? In this world Uie man who looks out sharply for his own Interests wins. That's what I havo done." "At a cost to tho business hero and a personal loss on my part. Hackctt. you are not an honest tnnn." John Hackott flushed up, His hard face became resentful, then vicious. "I'll prosecuto you If you say that outside!" he blustered. "I have no Intention of doing so, re plied William Barry, In his usual quiet but meaning way. "I drop all tho mean details of your shrowd manipulation of affairs here, shall withdraw my cap ital and say good-by " "See here, Barry I" cried Hackctt aghast, "you can't mean thatl" "1 do unqualifiedly Thoro Is one hundred and fifty thousand, my Invest ed capital, coming to mo. There should bo over doublo that, for all tho years you have been using tho money of the firm In outsldo deals In which I right fully should havo a sharo. My lawyer will call to make tho settlement Good-day." It was a serious break In both busi ness and family relations, but William Barry went on tbo peaceful tenor of his way and refused to discuss It "I havo simply retired," ho told bis Intimate friends. "I have always worked Jo an end, and am now rich enough to provldo for Its fulfillment" 1'vo got half a million!" Hackctt chuckled to himself, "and no discus sion about It. Threo to ono against Barry now I can reach my ambition." After that William Barry merely bowed politely to his former partner when ho pased him on tho street This nettled Hackott In his soul ho recog nized tho lofty superiority of an honest man. Then, too, ho secretly winced as ho realized that In fact and truth ho bad swindled Harry. Fort two years his only child, moth erless, Felice, and Arnold Barry had been friends, chums, almost lovers. Tho first thing Hackott did was to nond his daughter sway to boarding "J'll Prosecute You If You Say That outsider- school. Fellco understood what this meant a change In her pleasant rela tlons with Arnold. Tho latter hod Just graduated as a physician. This entirely harmonized with tbb plan bis father had formed, Upon Its oxecutlon both now set heart, mind and capital at work. "The dream of h'ls life," William Barry called It. In duo courso of time tho people of Winston saw tho house In which tho Harrys had lived for many yoars removed to a selocted plat of tho ton-acro grounds, In tho center of which it stood. It was fenced In by Itself, remodoled, and then In tho cen ter of tho Inrgor plat the construction of a pretentious building wbb begun, Tha slto was beautiful, for the spot was a natural park. At first It wbb be lieved that tho Harrys were building a summer hotel. Then the truth began to leak out "The dream of William Barry's life" was to maintain a summer home for tired mothers and weak and ailing children, gathered from the poorer quarters of tho big city twenty-five miles distant In this work they had tho co-operutlou of a leading phllan throplq association In the metropolis, Arnold wbb to devote his Bklll as physlolan to tho free Inmates of the home. Nurses ana matrons were era ployed, A rpaclous and comfortable edifice aroso on tho crest of the hill and the evrnlug when tho place burst Into a blazo of electric light all the j town rolwv.'d , "Humphl" sneered Hackott"' fool and his money!" And then, out of pure perversity, omulatlon and vanity, tho lonely old money-maker determined to vaunt the possibilities of his Ill-gotten wealth by erecting, half a mllo away from the palatial homo he hadtbultt, family mausoleum. His sqlflsb pride craved como kind of a trlbuto to his wealth. By the time the mausoleum was com pleted Hackott had expended well on towards ono hundred thousand dol lars, It was a handsomo show piece of ex travagance, nothing more, yet Hackett cherished it as tho apple or bis eye. Ho went past It at least onco a day. Ho had columns describing It In the newspapers, no mica, tno money bags nabob or the town, and foolishly believed that bo was tho envied of all men. He was sadly disappointed when,, at tho end of a year, Fellco camo homo from boarding school and settled down Into tho cheerless life ho had marked out for her. She had no Jteart In the big sprawling mansion, tbo mausoleum cast, a gruesomo spell over her spirits. The stern decision of her Irrational father that she should not even notice the Barrys, chilled her as would a win try blast a delicate, lovciy nower. Twice she met Arnold Barry. Her father learned of It He exacted a promise from her that she would dis continue all communication with the Barrys, and her gentle heart nearly broke. "It will stand foreverl" vaunted Hackett one day to a fellow townsman, the sweep or his hand proudly taking In the crand. mausoleum. "Dunno. Hackett" dissented tne practical neighbor. "They tell me It's got a floating foundation, as they call It Used to bo qulckaand where the river sweeps around Just below It" "Nonscnso!" declared Hackett rasp- Ingly. "It's built for tho ages!" Tho weeks went by. Poor mourning Fellco grew paler and more quiet Her father wondered uneasily about tne lonely mansion. Then camo a three days' deluge. Just at dusk, as tne weather cleared, ho crossed tho turbid swollen stream to view the monument that had cost him a fortune. "Solid as rock they won't soon for get tho name, of Hackett!" bo tried to consolo himself by saying. Then ho started back, horrified. Ho saw tho cliff side crumble. He Baw tho great mausoleum swerve. Its un dermined foundation glvo way, and It seemed to disintegrate and slide Into the roaring stream below berore his appalled vision. Ho had built on tho Band mausoleum and happiness. Ho was chilled,, fright ened. Ho turned bis back upon his wasted labor with a hollow groan. Was heaven reproaching him; was fate mocklnc? How hollow tho gains or all his pride and Bchemln'g! He halt- ol. trembling, ns tho sound or a joy ous hymn ot praise was borno to bis hearing on the evening s breeze. Ho saw tho children's homo nu ablazo with the glory or the setting sun, ho heard care-tree Juvenile voices chanting gratitude and content An: how completely had tho Barrys car ried out their great life, dream to mane others hdonyl Ho was shlvorlng like a lear a3 ne reached hom6. Thoro the sad, re signed rnco of his lonely daughter chlded him anew. Ho was overcome with remorse, all grew dark- It was a month later when, looking older by twenty yearB, bo tottered about tho Eardon, lcantng on Felice's arm for support Sho was tho kind, thoughtful daughter In every way, but her wearied eyca told ot hopelessness or her life. Someone passed by. "Who waa that?" inquired her father. "Arnold Barry, father," replied Fe llco, mookly. "Call him in. Felice, I I havo changed my mind. If you aro mourn ing over my past unreasonable stern nss, forget, forgive." "Oh! father" "And t'ell him tell him I will bo glad to glvo half my fortune to enlarge the children's home:" Tho Bun burst forth brilliantly from behind a passing cloud aa he spoke tho harbinger or courage and hope for an erring soul that saw the truo light at last Ljttlo Fresh Water In Adriatic. .Owing to tho syitem ot screening mountains tho Adrlatlo receives but llttlo drainage.

Tho congestion of trnfllc which has no seriously handicapped wnr prepara tions and Industrial nnd commercial activity during the last few months has emphasized to all tho vital Impor tance of good roads. Tho shortage of freight cars has caused the govern ment to recommend the use of motor trucks for handling freight on short hauls, In order to save freight-car Loqujpment for long hauls. Freight can not Be successfully nandicu Dy motor trucks without good roads. Tnere Is also a growing tendency on the part of manufacturers and whole mlers to have their salesmen travel by automobile Instead of by railroad trains, writes C. S. Blcman, president of a large motorcar concern, in Chi cago Post This also further helps to solve the traffic problem. But the ex tensive uae of trucks for cross-country hauling and of passenger automobiles by salesmen and others, Instead of traveling by train, will depend to a large extent upon road conditions. It also occurs to me that since our transportation facilities have been so seriously overtaxed by extra traffic re sulting from our war preparations to date, the enormous Increase In war activities for which preparations are now being made will result m further serious delays, unless a large portion of the traffic can be handled by motor trucks. In order to appreciate tho Im portance of good roads from a military standpoint we have only to recall the fact that In all probability Tarls would have been captured by the German army In their first great drive bad It not been that the excellent Frencn roads permitted the qulck concen trating of French troops by means or motortrucks, passenger automobiles and taxlcnbs, which played so Impor tant a part In helping out the French railroad system.
