The Curse of Turkish Rule.
From the Memphis commercial-Appeal.

rrOm tne memphis OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Any war undertaken by Turkey which
might result in the increase of its
territory or its influence would be a
blight on the civilization of the world
The Turks have cursed every land on
which they have settled.
In all their history they have con-
trfbuted nothing to science, to art or to
education. They have not been able to
work out for themselves an economic
system giving to their own people the
average of human happiness.
There is a report that Turkey Is pre-
pairing to invade Egypt. Egypt is an
example Of the curse of Turkeys rule.
In the days of the Pharaohs and the
Ptolemys Egypt was a fertile country.
Egypt had philosophy which. blend
ed with Greek culture, profoundly stir
red the thought of the world.
AS a Roman province Egypt still
blossomed. Even under the Arabians
Egypt did not begin to decay But with
the Turkish influence, since the day. of
Selim. Egypt became degenerate. The
sands of the desert moved toward
people were SO oppressed that they be-
came weak, mentally and physically
The abomination of desolation was
over that country until the last fifty
years.
Egypt under a sphere of French and
English influence came back into Its
former agricultural excellence. The
peasant became stronger and healthier
! He began to stand squarely on his feet
and look firmly into the eye of ancthe,

From the Toronto Mall and Empire.
The British war office has decided
to reduce still further the physical
standard for recruits. and now men
who stand only feet inches may
enlist. This decision is sensible. and
when one examines it the wonder is
that 1t has not been put into effect
before, and why in view of the con-
ditions of modern warfare and stand
ard at all beyond general physical fit
ness is maintained. We have before
US the example of the Japanese. II
they have any height standard it must
seem insignificant to Europeans and
Americans, for the average Japanese
cannot be more than a couple of inches
above FIVE feet in height. The Rus
SLAMS. on the contrary. are big men, but
man for man the Japs proved quite a
match for them. The Goorkhas, too
are little chaps, but they are just al
good fighters as the six-foot sikhs.

MONSTER ROSE GARDEN
ACAP|TAL ATTRACTION
More Than 1900 Varieties to Be In.
cluded in New En-
terprise.
Rosarians and Agricultural Depart
ment Will Cooperate to Make
Arlington Farm Beautiful.

A monster rose garden. containing
more than 1000 varieties. is to be one
of the attractions of the National Cap
ital by next spring.
The garden will occupy at least two
acres of ground and be surrounded by
a six-foot fence covered with climbing
roses There are to be rose canopies at
the corners and entrances and sum-
mer house at the most commanding To-
cation. where a view can be had of the
entire display, as well as of the Capt.
toll. the Washington Monument, the old
Lee mansion at Arlington and the wire
less towers at Radio. Va. There will
he plenty of seats and admission will
be free.
This attractive garden spot will bloom
forth as the result of cooperation be-
tween the American Rose Society and
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
This garden is to contain as complete
a collection of roses as will grow out
of doors in this section Of America.
while the department has set aside two
acres of ground at its Arlington farm
for the garden, which will be under the
direction of federal horticultural spe-
cialists. The farm Is in Virginia, just
across the Potomac from the city OF
washington and convenient to the
Virginia trolley line.
The garden already contains about
$50 varieties. but there are many hun
bred kinds not yet included. and even
tually tho site can accommodate as
many as 1000 varieties.
Arranged to Harmonic.
The garden is already laid out and
makes an interesting show place fol
visitors to this city. The roses are
