The Dardanelles, or the Hellespont.
as anclently called, is narrow Strait
about forty miles long, and from one to
four miles in breadth, constituting n
link in the geographical chain which
lies i'll the following order, running TO
the northeast, viz: The Mediterranean
Sea, the Dardanelles, the Sea of Mar
mora, the Bosphorus, the Black Sea-
Constantinople being situated on the
Bosphorus. BY what is known as the
treaty or the Dardanelles, between
Great Britain and Turkey in 1909, the
latter power insisted upon her ancient
right to regard the Straits as her own
waters, and stipulated that they should
be closed to ships of war of ali nations,
both in times of war and of peace. By
the Treaty of Adrianople in 1929 dictat-
ed by General Diebitsch, the Russians
obtained the opening of the Dardanel-
les to their merchant vessels, but did
not claim the right for war ships. In
the treaty of 1888, she extorted from
Turkey the stipulation that the straits
should be closed TO all foreign war YES
sells. Tho treaty of 1871, participated
In by England, Russia, France, Prussia
and Austria, established the present
regulation that no ships of war of for
eign nations should enter the Dardanel-
l les without the express permission of
Turkey, Since that time the position of
Russia has materially changed. After
having, had her ships of war excluded
nom the Black Sea by the Treaty of
l'arls IN 1886, she procured the abroga-
ton OF that restriction during the Ger
war. She now demands a
southern outlet for her war fleet as es-
ssential, she says, to the protection of
her merchant marine. She would nm
doubtedly prefer that the right of pass
ing the Dardanelles should be given 10
her, exclusively, but whether She will
insist upon that is yet uncertain.

Mr.. II. II. STEVENS:
In 1872 your VEGETIsE was recommended to
me, and, yielding to the persuasions OF friend, I
consent to try il. At the time was suffering from
general debility and nervous prostration, supern-
duced by overwork and irregular habits. Its
wonderful strengthening and curative properties
seemed to affect my debilitated system from the
first dose; and under its persistent use rapidly
recovered, gaining more than usual health and
good feeling. Since then have not hesitated TO
give NEGET1NE my most unqualified Endorsement,
as being SAFE sure, and powerful agent In pro.
noting health and restoring the wasted system to
new life and energy. VEGET1NE is the only medi.
cine use; and as long as live never expect to
ind better. Yours truly, w. H. CLARK.
