A ST MM0Ns TO TURKEY

The announcement Of the Allies that
the Anglo French fleet has reduced
the forts at the entrance Of the Oar
daneles is not equivalent TO saying
that the fleets work is done. II means
that the Allies have made good be-
ginning, one that promises well for
their entry into the Sea of Marmora.
The Derdanelles, which connects the
Egan with the Sea of Marmora, on
which Constantinople looks out are
about AZ miles in length and are lined
with Notifications which have been
improved by German engineers. They
constitute a winding passage to the
capital of the Sultan, and their many
curves and bends give corresponding
opportunities for defence No hostile

CHURCHES SHOW GAIN
Number Of Ministers Shows Advance

bnt bulluinE ans VIZ
New York. Feb. 20, Religious
bodies Of an denominations gained
7Gs.0S7 new members in the United
States last year according TO figures
compiled by the Federal Council Of
the Churches Of Christ in America.
This includes not only Christian, but
other seets The total number Of
church members Is now 3s,70s,l49
The gains, while large, are less than
half what they were in 1913, when
1926 new members we're taken in.
On the other hand, the increase in
the number Of ministers was more
than twice as large as il 1919, while
the number Of additional churches fell
off less than half These curious
mutations are difficult to explain. "
says the councils report.
All the larger denominations made
gains. The largest was made by the
Mcthodists who added 23l 400 new
members The Roman Catholic Church
gained l3G,65O, the Baptists 122,125,
the iuthorans 5G,238, the Prcsbytcri-
ans, 5G,0l9. the Eastern Orthodox
Churches $4,000, the German Eyangel-
ical Synod representing the State
Church Of Prussia 29,3lJ, and the
Protestant Episcopal Church, 2S,6l4
The Roman Catholics have gained
according to the figures, nearly NH
lion and quarter since 1910, and
more than five and one-half millions
since 1900. The second largest denom-
nation, the Methodists, have gained
nearly 100000 since 1900 The figures
also show that the Episcopalians have
now more than a million members.
They gained 86,46S since 1910, and
more than 100000 since 1900.
Nearly half, or l7,500,00O, Of the en-
tire church membership is represented
among the churches that belong to the
Federal Council. These bodies have a
net increase of more than 100000
members, which is over two-thirds of
the entire increase in all the churches.
The average increase in all churches
in 1914 was two per cent. 1t was four
per cent in 1913. New communica-
cants not only made good all losses
from death, expulsion, or withdrawal
but left a surplus of nearly three
quarters of a million.
There are nine religious bodies

The whirligig Of time has brought

GRAFTON To any Power in occupation of
Constantinople Russia would have
effected II Sc years ago when its army
held the suburbs Of Constantinople but
for the intervention of Great Britain
which sent its fleet to Besika Bay to
give moral support" TO the Sultan. A
long train Of events resulted from this
Intervention, the Congress Of Berlin,
the rise Of the Balkan States, the oc-
cupation Of Bosnia ard Herzegovina
BY Austria, the prolongation Of the
Turks stay in Europe, and finally the
present war itself Perhaps as Sir
Edward Grey spoke the reflection may
have crossed his mind that but for the
Concert Of Europe" in which Great
Britain bore so conspicuous a share,
there would be no Turkey IN Europe to
divert a part Of the energies of the
Allies from critical arenas Of conflict
upon which they would like to concen-
trate them.
Not only militarily would the cap
ture Of Constantinople be great tri-
umph for the Allies, for il would have
economic effects felt the world over.
Let Russia get undisturbed passage
from the Black Sea to the Mediterran
can and immense stores of grain will
pass into the marts Of Great Britain
and France. Odessa, on the Black
Sea, is one Of the great grain-shipping
ports of Europe, and once its mer-
chants can get their cargoes into the
current of the worlds commerce we
shall see the prices Of foodstuffs fall in
all the markets of the Allies. The in
terruption of the Black Sea grain traf-
fic has been one of the troubles of the
Allies, and one the two kaisers must
have reckoned ON when they were in
duced to take Turkey into their COM
