DOOM OF THE TURK
AUGURED In MOVES
OF ALLIED POWERS
Italy Plans to Block Aegean
Archipelago, While Al
lies Raze Dardanelles
Forts-Russia on North.

Concerted moves by Italy and Greece
indicate a policy TO strangle Turkey.
Although Italy has not declared war,
operations OF italian war forces indi-
cate that at least warlike preliminary
measures have been taken.
Italian troops have arrived at Piraeus
on their way to the italian islands of
the Aegean Archipelago. on these islands
the population s largely Creek despite
Turkish dominance.
If on the south and southeast Turkey
is bottled, there Is little chance for its
long-continued existence. For on the
north and northeast Russia apparently Is
in complete control. Aid by way of the
Black Sea is blocked by the Russian
fleet Then tscre Is Rumania to the
north preparing for an added blow.
A strong fleet OF French and British
warships Is batterng down the forts
guarding the Dardanclles, and entrance
to the Sea of Mamora is not impossible.
Acquisition of all the islands of the
Aegean archipelago Is comparatively easy
with them the Allies will complete the
throttllug process.
AS in events preceding Turkeys en-
trance into the war, signs now indicate
strongly that Italy and Rumania will take
the plunge soon. And, the chiefest aim
seems TO be to annihilate Turkey.
kumanla, IN the opinion OF war obserV-
ers, is even more likely to throw its
army of 100000 men into the scale against
Germany, Austria and Turkey. This we'll
trained force would in effect link with the
extreme Russian left now forcing its way
into Hungary through Bukowina. With
the armies of Servia and Montenegro,
they would form line menacing Austria
Hungary along the entire southeastern
frontier from Russia to the Adrlatic.
Although few details are forthcoming
as to the campaign of the Cars troops
N Bukowina, 1t is known that virtually
The whole of that province is now in Rus
sian hands. Dispatches from Bucharest
say that thousands of fugitives from the
Austrian territory are crossing the Ru-
nanian frontier, some of them on their
way to Vienna. The developments arising
rom this occupation of Bukowina will
nave an immediate and vital bearing on
Sumania's course of action.

New York city. January Z, 1915
my dear Doctor Hart:
II wish to send you my heartest con-
6ratulauons on the success of the recent
campaign OF the Boy Scouts in Phla-
delphia. The fact that the funds were
20 quickly and easily raised and that
tney represented over 1000 givers, espe-
eially when we consider the financial
stress of the present times. proves that
the Boy Scout movement has taken a
deep and firm hold upon the sympathies
or our people. We must all rejoice Mt
this fact, because the movement is one
OF unquestioned value TO our country
year ago, writing for the Christmas
nuinoer OF Boys Life, spoke as follows:
wish to send this message. not only
20 the Boy Scouts. but TO all the boys of
america. The prime lesson that the Boy
scout movement is teaching is the lesson
that manliness in it's most vigorous form
can be and ought to be accompanied by
unselhsh consideration for the rights and
interest of others.
Indeed, 1 can go a little further.
wish that could make the especial an
peal to the American boy to remember
that unless he thinks of others he cannot
Mt himself 10 do the best work in any
great emergency.
The names in our history to which
we now look back with pride are the
names of men who have rendered great
service. This service may have been rem
dered at tn same time that they them
selves gained glory or reputation. But
neither the glory nor the reputation would
have been gained save as an incident
to the service.

II was a sober and closely packed troop
that broke camp in the darkness and

Coming into the road they breathed
easier, for here one could sec his hand

brance OF the spirits that inhabited the
region. they marched In close formation
and the places inside the group were at
premium, SO they tramped homeward
Suddenly a spectral shapeless white fig

marched across the highway, perhaps 30
yards ahead Before 1t had disappeared
in the bushes on the other side OF the road

full retreat back over the path they had
come Rallied by the sCoutmaster who
told them II was mere ina gination, the
scouts halted and again resumed their
hike. They had passed the danger point
and were beginning to laugh at their
fright of moment before when-a shrielt,
and n filmy appartion with flowing sheets
sprang full upon them. Every scout coll

had them In its power.
The terrifying spectre was lowering
over their PROSTATE forms. But instead
OF doing them harm the ghost seemed to
vanish in the ground, and in its place
stood Harold Bourne. a member of their
troop, laughing at them. He stopped to
pick up the white sheet which had en-
veoped him.
Scoutmaster Rutherford also laughed.
After moment all the scouts laughed
for they realized they had been tricked
But 1t was not mere trick for tricks |
sake. Their scoutmaster had staged the
telling of the ghost stories and the ap-
pearance of the ghost for a definite pur-
pose-to make his Boy Scouts remember,
through this lesson, that ghosts exist only |
when one believes in them, and that Boy |
Scouts must not be superstitious. Bourne, |
