It is reported that a secret organization, called
the " Grand Army of Palestine," is now in course of for-
mation in New York City. The object of the association
is to unite with any power that may make war upon Tur-
key, and to aid in driving the followers of Mohammed
back into Central Asia. Not only south-eastern Europe,
but Asia Minor, is to be cleared off the Turk. The organi-
zation in New York comprises Russians and Greeks prin-
cipally, but natives of other European countries are en-
listed in the enterprize.—Public Ledger.
