toward Babylon had been cleared LOT

ENGLAND CAPTURES

VICTORY OVER THE TURKS IN
MESOPOTAMIA GIVES GREAT
BRITAIN POSSESSION.
HAS BECOME A WILDERNESS
The Marvellous Irrigation of Antiqui-
ty Is Now a Tradition, and Where
Once Flowed Milk and Honey One
Now Sees Only a Desert.

NOW sees OHEy ~ OCSNAC %
LONDON.-Probably few persons
who read Lord Kitcheners' statement
in the House of Lords on January 6
that "in Mesopotamia the Indian ex-
peditionary force has continued its
northward advance, defeating the
Turks and inficting on them heavy
losses" realized the cosmic signIh-
canoe Of this announcement. 1t
means that England has captured the
Garden of Eden! writes A. w. Fer
rim.
The literal truth of the account OF
the Creation of the Book of Genesis
has, Of course, been attacked for
thousands of years, and is now wide
" accepted, but there has never been
much doubt in the minds of scholars
that the author of Genesis in de-
scribing the happy home OF Adam
and Eve had in mind real country,
or that this country, or garden, was
located in Mesopotamia, for the au-
thor states that it was between the
Tigris and the Euphrates rivers, the
Gihon and the PishOn. The Euphra-
tes and the Tigris bound Mesopota-
mia today, and archaeologists gener-
ally agree that by the Pishon the
writer of Genesis meant the Persian
gulf and by the Nihon the Nile. An
cient writer's frequently made the
mistake of thinking that the Nile
rose in India instead of in Ethiopia.
Not only in the legendary days of
Adam and Eve was Mesopotamia a
garden; within historic times it has
"blossomed like the rose Five thou
sand years before Christ it was the
seat of a wonderful civilization, with
arts and sciences some of which are
not known in the advanced civiliza-
ton of today.
Mesopotamia was early Christian
lied, and in the fourth century A.
the single city of EdesSa contained
three hundred monasterie3. 1t was
here that Eusebius found the famous
letter which was believed to have
been written by Christ to King Abb
garus.
When the Roman Empire began
to wane Mesopotamia was taken by
the Arabs; but was partly retaken in
1897 by Godfrey of Bouistian City
for forty-seven years. After the
Turks had subverted the Arabian
Empire and finally the Empire of
Byzantium they Overran MesopOta-
mia, and in 1888 made it a Turkish
province, since which time it has be
come a wilderness. The marvellous
irrigation of antiquity has become
a tradition, and where once flowed
milk and honey one now sees a des-
ert. The blighting hanl Of the un-
speakable Turk, whose tax gatherer
has killed all incentive to industry,
has made the Garden of Eden vale
of tears, as it had Egypt and Maure-
tania, once the granaries of the
world, before England, France and
Italy took North Africa away from
him.
Three years ago, under the stimu-
lus of the young Turk movement, the
Turkish government undertook new
irrigation works in MesopOtamia, in
trusting the construction to Sir John
Johnson, the eminent engineer. The
work was continued by Sir William
Wilcocks, builder of the Assouan
dam, and on Dec. IL, 1913, the Eu-
pirates barage was opened, This

CONDITIONS IN SERVIA DESCRIBED AS GRAVE Red Cross Nurse Says Wounded Are Lying Everywhere and Fugitives
 Are Constantly Pouring in.

London, Jan. 1, Correspondence of the Associated Press).-A Servian Red Cross nurse, writing to the Servian relief committee in London, describes conditions in Servia as follows:
 T have seen five Wars-what is Servias history but series of wars but never have I seen such sudden and terrible Restitution Wounded are lying everywhere, in the houses, on the streets, in the squares, and we are disturbed in our efforts to care for them by the crowd of fugitives constantly pouring in.
 we give what we have, but it is so little, and we are always short. The doors of the Red Cross depot are thronged with supplicants for food and lodging. You know how proud our people are Nobody wanted to be rich, for all had enough, and now for the first time we realize that we are poor There is not a family un- hurt by the war We have soup kitchens, refugees, l! hospitals, at every turn-all in desper- ate need. Bakers and butchers are ruined, for we have no money to pay them. One baker said to me weeks ago: I have no son to send to the war, but T will give what I have He supplied our hospital gratis with bread until his flour gave out Now he is bankrupt
 At Sviianits three thousand waifs and wanderers arrived last week. The people took them in. I am convinced not a household in that town now has a full meal. Yet we do not lose heart. Many of the soldiers give us money if they can. Yesterday we got cOntrbuti ons of seventy dinars ($14) and in three cities a total of 2,250 dinars ($400)
 was collected in two days. This is an enormous sum in Servia, where a grosch (four cents) is no cOmmoner than pound sterling s5 in England '
