Christians in Turkey are i'm very

is the opinion OF Miss Katherine

five years in Turkey as a missionary

been steadily growing until with the
entrance of Turkey into the war the
feeling has become 50 intense that for

Miss BTedemus speaks Interestingly
Cf the conditions in Turkey which
country she believes now has become
merely tool of Germany. 1t is
true she says that the German officers
are largely in control throughout the
country. but the Turkish army, so
lar as she has been able 10 learn, is
rather insignificant in size and is very
poorly organized.
1t is the opinion of the foreigners in
Turkey that the firing on the cutter
from the battleShip Tennessee by the
forts at Smyrna was an hostile act
even though the explanation has been
given that the shots were fired mere
ly as warning that the harbOr was
mined. At that time, in the early part

Miss Bredemus considers that the
missionaries have been put in a much
more serious situation owing to the
riders of the Turkish government re-
Voking the right of foreign ambassa-
dorS in their capacity as protectors for
foreign residents The missionaries
cannot now appeal to the foreign am
bassadors. The revocation of these
treaty relations with the foreign coun-
tries was the occasion of much cele-
brating on the part of the Turkish
people, who felt that then they had
secured freedom from the foreign
yoke"

Here s Prize Poem
for Christmas Tree
THE SPIRIT OF SOUTH BEND.


Long ago. in a frontier post
That stood by river side.
They trimmed "A tree at the Christmas
time
And gathered from far and wide.
Little children and women brave
And loyal hearted men,
Facing the wilds with a courage high,
Twas the spirit Of South Bend.
Then raise the tree and blaze the
lights
Till they gild the heaven above
And gather all the little ones
To sing OF the Christ-child's love.
Their carols will rise to the vaulted
skies
And with the angels blend.
While those who hear will be filled
with cheer.
Tis the spirit Of South Bend.
Though half the world has gone to
war,
And we stand in the shadow of need,
When the children sing, the Heavenly
King
Will give us a nobler creed.
shoulder to shoulder. in brotherhood,
4 helping hand TO lend.
We shall know. at last, when the trial
is past.
Twas the spirit OF south Bend.

Copenhagen, Nov 18.--The first

been unable to drive the Germans
eastward although the kaiser has

The Russians have resumed the
offensive against Thorne and are
again pressing forward in Poland
toward Plock. With Turkey now in
| the war Russian sentiment is begin
ming to favor the concentration of

by the conGuests of Turkey and the
