THE DARDANELlES
Famous Strip of Water that IS Often
Mentioned in Dispatches.

Mentioned in Dispatches.
The national geographic society Of
Washington, has prepared the fol-
lowing descriptions Of the Dardanel-
les and Austrian Galacia, which are
figuring prominently in the war In
Europe:
Keen political interest has centered
around the Dardanelles since the
time when Persian strength was test
ed upon the soldiers of free Greece.
Xerxes came this way with his vast
army for the invasion of Europe, and
crossed the Dardanelles then known
as the Hellespont, over pontoon
bridge, constructed near Abydos, on
the Asiatic side, and touching Grecian
shores near Sestos, where the water
way is about $500 feet wide. 1t was
on this occasion that the capricious
currents Of the strait called forth the
most historic spanking ever given.
They carried away the pontoons.
whereupon Xerxes ordered the Helle-
spont to be soundly flogged.
Alexander, in S34 B. c., 146 years
after Xerxes, crossed in the path Of
the Persian and began his success
full subjugation Of the outworn east.
The tide shifted once more, and
throughout the long struggle Of By
zantium against the east, the Dar-
danelles were ever and again frontier
waters At last, in 1856, the Turks
forced themselves over the much
contested boundary, spread over its
European banks, and settled down to
stay.
No longer a frontier of eastern
western struggle, the Dardanelles,
preserved their political
Importance, an importance derived,
first from Turkish control of Medi-
Black sea commerce, and,
later, in which the great powers Of
Europe sought to balance themselves
one against the other, and each to
make that balance contribute to its
own advantage mighty Russia's only

What Is Your Opinion?

Carefully compiled statistics reveal
the fact that out Of each 1000 men who
went into the battle Of Gettysburg, 55
were killed; while So out Of each 1000
in the Atlanta campaign, lost their
lives. Do you suppose II a life insur-
ance salesman, representing company
that was recognized by all intelligent
men as being Amply Willing; yes, anx-
ious to Carry Out its contracts, had Of
fered to write the application Of any
of the soldiers who could, by any
means have raised the premiums, just
before they entered on the battle, they
would have told him times were too
hard" or that they were too old or the
rates were too high, or that their wild
ows or children or other dependents
don't think so. They would have ap-
piled for every dollar for which they
could pay. Now 1t Is a fact, demon
strated by just as reliable statistics as
those already quoted, that the man who
Is 40 years old today, stands identically
the same chance Of dying before he Is
SO, as did each soldier who entered to
be killed in the battle Of Gettysburg,
while the chance Of the man who Is 39
today, stands the same chance Of dy-
ing before he Is As, as did the man who
was in the Atlanta campaign. Yet
there are hundreds and thousands of
them who make the excuses listed
above for neglecting to protect those
dependent on them with a Mutual Ben
eft policy Of sufficient size to enable
them to live half as comfortably as
they are now accustomed to. What Is
Your candid opinion Of such Man?

Not Historieal.-Miss Smith, the
teacher, was hearing the history
class. The pupils seemed unusually
dull on this occasion, and in vain
did the teacher try to get them to
give correct answers. At last she
looked at the child who was her star
pupil.
Now, Elsie" she said, Mary fol-
lowed Edward vi, didn't she?"
"Yes, ma'am," replied the little
girl.
"And. now, who followed Nary"
asked the teacher, hopefully.
All was silent for a moment, then
Elsie raised her hand.
"Yes. Elsie?" quered the teacher.
"Who followed Nary"
Her little lamb, teacher" said
Elsie, triumphantly.

ports upon warm water were in her
Black sea territory. Conventions of
the powers, however, have held her
shut up fast within the inland sea.
For a century these conventions have
stood between Russia and her ambi-
tions to have an outlet on the Medi-
terranean.
By a five power treaty in 1S41, 1t
was arranged that no ship Of war Of
any nation other than the Ottoman,
should pass the Dardanelles without
express permission Of the porte. The
closing of the strait was reaffirmed
at London in 1871, and at Berlin in
I1S73. Even merchant vessels must
have passes, which they are required
to show to the authorities at the mar
rows. Boats may pass through only
during the daytime, yet they are re-
quired to pay a small lighthouse fee.
The strait is a narrow, irregular
channel connecting the AEGEAN sea
with the sea of Marmora. 1t cuts
Europe from Asia on a course from
southwest to northeast. 1t is only
about As miles long, while it varies
in width from one to five miles. Its
average depth is $50 feet. Upon the
European side the shores are steep
and barren, and their inhospitable

Regarding the
Monument

The Monument is the sole product
Of man which Is expected to exist,
without change or repair, for all
time-beyond the memory that we
cherish in our hearts, which is only
as long as the span Of life. It may
help to form a record, but 1t Is erect
ed as a tribute Of love to those who
have passed ito that bourne from
whence no traveller ever returns" AS
such, let it be a thing Of beauty, not
dark and somber, but bright and
cheerful; not typifying earthly sor-
row, but symbolizing undying love.
And as architecture is brought to us
from the past by the tombs Of the
ancients. SO let US pass on to those
in our steps, some worthy expression
Of our conception Of beauty.
