1835S0 How the Wily Enver Pasha Raised Both Men and Money By Henry Wood. Constantinople, by courier to Saloni ka and mail to New York, Dec. (1. tin ver 1'nsha, Turkey's 32-yenr-old self elocted "man of destiny," raised mo ney almost over night to mobilize the Ottoman army. How poor, noarlybonkrupt Turkey was able to get together a good sized forco of troops for participation in the European struggle hns been one of the wonders of the wnr. It was thus tluit Enver Pasha accomplished it. "We must have an army at once to defend our neutrality," ho told his col leagues when the conflict began. "That's impossible," cried the oth er ministers in one voice. "Turkey hasn't money enough to equip a single regiment properly. Besides, we have not enough men." "Leave that to me," rejoined Enver. "In tho first place, I'll threaten death to every man who fails to answer the mobilization call. After a few have been shot and they seo wo mean busi ness, wo will have men enough. A Clever Scheme. "Then welll announce that those who desire exemption can hnvo it for i'i pounds ($190), and that will give ns all the money we need." The wnr minister proved a true pro phet. His plan was put in practice and men and money poured in. Employers put up funds not only for themselves Viut, in many eases, for their employes. They had to do it or loso tho latter 's services, Among other people the foreign am bassadors were hard hit. All the em bassies employ a number of Turkish servants. American Ambassador Mor genthau saw himself about to bo de OFF WITH THE OLD ON WITH THE NEW While lost night, at midnight, mark ed the end of tho term of somo of tho state officiuls und heads of depart ments who are retiring and the begin ning of the term for those who suc ceed tho old officers, in most cases the did officers will hold over until Mon day morning. Attorney Oenernl Crawford's term of office ended last night, but he will bold over and attend to tho duties of tho office until Attorney Oenernl llrown qualifies and assumes charge of the affairs of tho department. First Assistant Attorney Oenernl James Crawford will retire from his position with the vacation of his father nnd the wo will enter into the private prac tice of law in Portland. I. H.

MisK Downing will be retained ns stenogra pher. Although the governor's term of of fice is supposed to expire upon the con vention of the legislature and the offi cial canvass of the vote for governor it is not probable that (Invernor West will give way to (lovornorclect Vithycombe until the second day of the sessiun, Tuesday, January 12, when tlx1 inaugural ceremonies hove been tenlntively arranged for.

He went at once to Euver Pasha. ".Surely, your excellency," he pro tested, "you arc not going to deprive me of this help." Enver looked liim squarely in the eye. Uncle Sam Helped. "And surely, your excellency," ho replied, "you don't mean to toll me that a great country like tho United (States is going to ask a poor, strug gling country like Turkey to give it 4.') pounds! "Why only this morning my wife begged mo on her bended knees to ex empt her favorite servants and I re fused her, saying that my country must have either the man or 43 pounds.". Ambassador Morgenthnu mndo a pro found bow. "I understand perfectly, your excel lency," ho said. "You need sny no more." That afternon lie sent his check to Euver Pasha for nenrly s2,000. What tho American ambassador did was done by the representatives of the other powers. England, France, Russia, Belgium and Servia all helped to pay for Turkey's mobilization. Christians genernlly helped exten sively, too. They would have hamper ed the Turks in declaring a "holy wnr" so they know they wero not wanted, and that, to get rid of them, tho Ottoman military authorities would put them in the plnces of especial dan ger. Therefore, almost to a man, they paid for exemption to escape service. Altogether, Enver not only raised funds for the mobilization, but he rr.is ed also nn army of 500,000 men, com pletely equipped on a war footing. elected to succeed themslves will be sworn in Mondny morning nnd doa their official robes, nnd all of the changes in the force of subordinates .which follow in natural sequence to tho change of officials will occur simul taneously, Tho changes that are likely (to tukc plnco in the supreme court de partment, however, will bo very slight , and confined to one or two of tho pri vate stcnogrnpnorB to tne justices.

THE SALEM CAPI" AL Must Either Do This or Close All Institutions Until Leg islature Acts Bruniiig, every sinto or-j ficer, head of state department, board ; or commission which has not a eon-1 tinning appropriation who conducts his department, institution or office either today or at any time between now and such time as tho legislature makes financial provision for paying the ex penses of his department, institution or office is guilty of violation of chapters 2 and 3H0 of tho session lnws of 1913 and lays himself liable to a fine of not less than $1,000 or more than $5,000. After today, today being a legal holi day and all departments of state will bo closed they will nil bo open for business and it is safe to suy that not a single ono of them will be'interfered with or even reproached for such open violation of tho sacred dictates of the legislature. Section 1 of chapter 29 of the laws of 1913 provides that "it shall be un lowful for any of the state officers or trustees, managers, directors, superin tendents or boards or commissions or any of tho public institutions or de partments of tho stato of Oregon to create a deficiency, incur liability or to expend a greater sum of money than is appropriated by tho legislative; assembly for the uso of said public institutions or department." Chapter 380 of tho laws of 1913 pro vides that "no warrant shall be drawn by tho secretary of state in payment' of any claim where no appropriation' has been made. But whero such claim has been incurred in pursuiinco of special authority of law and no ap propriation has been made for its pay ment, or if iiiiule, has been exhausted, the secretary of state shall audit such claim when authorize I by the emerg ency board to do so." Under the pro visions of chapter 29 of tho session laws of 1913 a violation of the prohibi tion of that uct is deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and is subject to a fine of from $1,000 to $.1,000. All appropriations made by the legis lative assembly for (he support or maintenance of any state department, bonrd, commission or institution ex pire on the 31st day of December of the even year and all unexpended funds which remains to the credit of such office, department, institution, etc.. on the first day of January of the odd yoarj automatically reverts to tho general; fund of the treasury and cannot bel touched for nny jinrpose whatsoever' until authority is given by the ensuing legislative assembly to do so. Of course nil of the state depart-! incuts, institutions, etc., will go right along about their business ns they have been accustomed to do time immemorial ami it may or may not be taetitly un derstood between the head of the do nnrtuient or institution and his em plovos that thev continuo their work voluntarily assuming the risk of funds being provided for their services by the next legislature, ami nothing will Ail be said about it only, ns one of state officials expressed it "it goes to "how that ridiculous and inconsist-1 cut lnws some of the legislative as- KOinlilios enai't." I, .k'nine of the state officials express the opinion that these biennial and; ever-recurring technical deficiencies in! the funds for the conduct of stnte gov-1 eminent, neiweei, ine rirsi. oi mo Jem nnd such tune ns ine icgisiuiiire oiia.-i the general appropriation bill, will eventually lend to the adoption of Secretory of State Olcott 's recom mendation that the state's system of milking appropriations for support and inainteiiaucc of state departments, in stitutions etc., be changed from the first, and end of the year to the bien nial period ending either April '10 or June 30, ns the case may be, so ns to elinilnnte tho continual worry and ex tra labor caused by the exhaustion of funds, when no bills can lie paid or eon traded for until the legislature ninlies provisions for the resumption of bnsi ness upon n norma i oiisis.
