Turks Murderinq Jews.

CAIRO, Egypt, Dec. 24.-Word has reached here that the Turks in Jaffa, in Palestine, have murdered many Jewish men, women and children. Many of the women have been mis- treated and girls have been taken away to be placed in the harems of the Turks.
 It is feared that the "holy war" ordered by the Sultan has started. Nothing can be done at this time ex- cept to depend upon the aid given the Jews and missionaries, who are also in danger, by the American con- sular agents. The Turks, however, seem inclined to throw off all re- straint and the firing on the launch of the American cruiser Tennessee ln- dicates that they do not respect the American flag or fear it's vengeance.

every shrub, compelled his wonder.
 He attributes it to the British train
 ing through sport, and to hunting hao-
 it's, as also to the boy-scout move
 ment, and says that this is one of the
 things that the German general staff
 will have to take up after the war s
 over. So they will have to revise
 their method of attack. If it is true
 that many of the reports alleging that
 the Germans charged in solid masses
 were false, they were true enough
 to bear out the criticisms of the Ge-'
 man Colonel Gadke, made year be-
 fore the war, that the general staff
 had not sufficiently profited in this
 respect by the lessons of the Russo
 Japanese war.
 . The Germans seem very well pleas
 ed with the work of their cavalry,
 which they believe has shown itsel'
 the superior of the British and the
 French. They are particularly enthu- siastic about the work done by their cavalry in protecting the retreat
 (alias taking back') of their right wing when it retired in September. But here again they might profit by study of our own Civil war. They obstinately stick to their conception of cavalry as being merely screen; the idea of independent raiding forces led by dashing cavalryman like their Won der Goltz of 1870, or our own Sheridan, James H. Wilson, and Grierson, is foreign to them. It is, however, tempting speculation as to what such a force could have done; one recalls the fact that Gen. Sheri- dan felt, when he accompanied the German army in 1870, that they could learn much from our Civil war ex- perience. Finally, most cherish ed tradition of the German army is crashing to the ground in their use of slightly drilled volunteers and their discovery that the poorest train- ed French troops behind earthworks appear now to be impregnable. In the attacks at Ypres and in the east as well, newly formed German regi- ments of Landstrum and Landwehr have shown as splendid courage and fighting ability as the pick of the Prussian Guards, and so have many young volunteers who were put in- to regiments to fill the gaps created in earlier fighting. If comparatively new military material can be used like this, what becomes of the argu- ment for two and three years ser vice ?-New York Post.

He TAKES IT SERIOUSLY
Turkish Ambassador Criticises Funny
Columns OF American Papers.

Washington, Sept. 5.-The Turkish
embassy was still without advices
from Constantinople today but Am
bassador A. Rustem Bey issued a state
ment resenting American newspaper
wit at the expense of the belligerent
powers in which he classified Turkey
as one of the nations which had mot
yet" been drawn into the vortex Of
war.
What 1 will call the funny column
in the American papers contains jokes
and not infrequently jibes at the ex-
pense of one or the other of the Euro
pean countries engaged in the conflict
now raging, or expected to join in it,
said he. Cartoons are also INDUCED
in as a means of turning into ridicule
the misfOrtunes or straits of those who
are fighting or the terrible anxiety
and doubts Of those who have not yet
been drawn into the bloody vortex
Turkey has come in for much of this
journalistic pleasantly. Speaking for
my country I will say that while vii is
precious quality and many Of the writ
ers of the funny columns undoubtedly
possess large measures of it, it betrays
a lack of human feeling and delicacy
which are much more precious than
wit, to see in the disturbed, or threat
ened destinies of a nation which has
always lived on friendly terms with the
laughter or even smiles. Hatred. re-
venge, envy, all the strong passions,
may with excuse exploit such situa-
tons, not humor. which is always ac-
companied with balance Of mind.
II appeal to the American public
against such excuses on the part OF
the papers which serve them.

Paris Fears for Fate Of the
Allied Armies.
Indications That They Have
Been Surrounded.
GERMAN EASTWARD MOVEMENT
Is Rapidly Developing Its Real
Purpose. /,
French British Left Wing Is
Badly Harassed.

Paris, Sept. 5.-That the allied armies
are being cut in two and surrounded
is feared here. That is the real rea-
son why the Germans have temporarily
swept to the eastward of Paris with the
main columns of their right wing.
The French British left wing badly
harassed, has fallen back on the re-
serves and every effort is being made
to strengthen the lines before the Ger
mans strike again. The Ger
mans themselves have felt the effect
of their rapid southwark dash and are
reported today to be bringing up fresh
troops from the rear before beginning
the great series OF battles which now
have lasted nearly three weeks.
The combined German armies, which
crossed the Mouse at Stemay have
driven the French back for a consider
able distance and 1t IS evident that.
when hostilities are resumed, it will be
on q scale eclipsing anything up to the
present.

BATTLE FIELD MENU.
British Soldiers Well Supplied With
Bread, Bacon, Tobacco and Rum. (!

London, Sept. 5.-The Daily Nails
correspondent at Gisors, a French
town near Beauvais. estimates the
total losses of the allies at 10000 and
the losses of the Germans at 200, 900.
He says moderate estimate of the
German losses places them at 20 per
cent at least
Sheer weight of numbers has pushed
the Germans forward at the amazing
rate of IS miles a day, the corresponds
ent adds. The Germans have shown
no superiority in artillery or trans
port. The rapidity of their advance
has been due largely to their use of
the automobile for transportation.
The British commissariat has per-
fected the following menu for each
man on the firing line:
Daily, pound of bread, with
cheese and jam. a pound and quar-
ter Of bacon. a pound and a quarter
of beef with tea and rum: two ounces
of tobacco weekly.

German Cruiser Is Sinking British
Vessels in West Indies.

New York. Sept. 5.-The German
cruiser Karlsruhe has engaged and
badly disabled the British cruiser
Bristol off the coast of Hayti. accord
ing to H. H. Weissner, a lieutenant of
the German army and leader of IS
Germans who arrived here today on
the Clyde line steamship Algonquin
from Puerto Colombia on their way
to join the cOlOrs.
The German lieutenant also said
that Dutch skipper had brought
word to Puerto Colombia that the
Karlsruhe had met and sunk the Brit
ish cruiser Glasgow, off the Colom-
bian coast. This, he said, was denied
by British officials in Georgetown.
Before meeting with the Bristol, Lieut..
Weissner asserted the Karlsruhe cap
tured two British steamships, trans
ferred their passengers and stores to
the cruiser and then sent the ships to
the bottom.
