With three small children, Helen,

and fuel to keep them warm.
Mr. fjrandes and Mr. Stele secured a
house, bought a stove and lots of good
things to eat. took the children up town
and provided them with plenty of warm

FOOD, COTTON AND
COTPERJN PLENTY
Nazim Bey Sftys Turkey is Prepared
to Supply All the Needs of
Germany.
TRANSPORTATION IS QUESTION
BERLIN. Dv. 21. (Via London. 1
-"Turkey has an abundance of
foods and other material of all kinds
which it can supply to (Jerntany as
Germany needs them," said Dr.
Nazim Bey, secretary of the Voting
Turks' committee and one of Tur
key's most projulnent men, in a
statement to the Associated Press on
his arrival in Berlin today. "Jt is
only a question of transportation,
which seems to be in a fair way of
solution.
"There is no lack of anything in
Turkey. For example, wo have, 30,
000.000 kilograms of cotton, which
Cermanv ran have tho moment It
selves the trannportatlon problem
not to speak of 10,000,000 kilograms
of reserve supply In the shape
mattresses and xther articles In Tur
kish homes. ,
"The same I true of copper. Of this
we have at least 40 001.000 kilograms, w hich
Cermanv pan have at any time.
"Because of this abundance of neces
saries and of the progress of military af
fairs to this time Pr. Naxltn Bey predicts
eventual victory for the central powers.
He I certain Germany will rind a way to
effect transportation rommun'catlona with
Turkey In a short time.
"Such a success will mean Independence
lor Turkey for the first time." he con
tinued "Ti eie Is Immeasurably less of
peace propaganda In Turkey today than
snywliere else. You must remember that
for ,1icnlca there Ins hardly been peace
for ten consecutive year with us. and ac
cordingly we are accustomed to conflicts.
We reckon that the present confll'-t w 111
last from one to two years more, but wc
sie reatlv Imilf ferrnt as to the duration
of the war. In any event Turkey will be
the last to call a halt.
Turkey Is enthusiastic for a number of
reasons. First. It had never loiiani pre
viously under such favorable conditions.
Ficond. Ills' thought of eventual inde
pendence stimulates the troops tremen
dously. Third, the soldiers are spurred on
by hatred of their enemies. This hatred
Is engendered by Illegal acts. The Turks
rerard the allies as real barbarians and
when captured In a wounded condition
frequently refuse food or drink from their
captors, though, when conditions are re
versed the Turks give their prisoner
freely of their food."
Resents Armenian Tales.
Pr. Nailm Bey spoke calmly, except
when the subjei-t of the world's Impres
sion of Turkish-Armenian relations wns
brought tip. "f thli he talk.il In hitter
words. America. In particular, he said,
bnd gained a felse Impression in two
ways. 1-lrst, Investigators of conditions
had not been neutral or unbiased. Sec
ond, these Investigators went to . the
wrong sources for their Information to
Greeks, Jews ajtd Armenians, who are
0f l Turkish subjects and have grudges to
air.
"Every time a Turk does something
praiseworthy In this world he Is hailed
as an Armenian," he continued, "but
every time he commits a crime or acts
basely, he Is a Turkor something else."
Expressing himself as an ardent ad
mirer of America and most things Amer
ican, and declaring Turkey needed the
trade of the T'nlted mates even more than
of Germany, Pr. Naxim Bey neverthe
less asserted the delivery of ammunition
by Americana to the allies had served
to estrange the two people.
Pr. Natlm Bey took Issue with those
tT
who have ssld the British could har
broken through the Pardenelles In Mnrch
If they had been willing' to imkc a Uttla
greater sacrifice. He Insists he principal
forts were not damaged, and that t!t y
had plenty of ammunition to repel air
attack.
Pulmotor Fails to
Revive Twelve-Year-Old
Intoxicated Lad
A 13-year-nld lad wss d'scovered lying
In sn unconscious condition In an alley
between Ninth and Tenth streets, near
Leavenworth street, by Officer ' Jensen
shortly after noon. A sack of empty
whisky bottles wss found at his side.
Jensen wss unable to revive the lad,
so he summoned the ambulance and po
lice augeons. who submitted the youngster
to exhaustive treatment with the pul
motor and stomach pump without tangi
ble results In restoring consciousness. Tha
physlclsns discovered the boy had taken
a Inrge amount of whisky and was com
pletely Intoxicated. He was removed t
Kt. Joseph hoepltal. where his condition
la regarded as most serious.
The Identity of the boy is unknown.
He wss ptiorly dressed and nothing about
his person served to give the police a clua
aa to his name or address.
Where he obtained the whisky which
was responsible for hla serloua condition
Is also a mystery to the police.
