TURKS MAY ABANDON
EGYPTIAN CAMPAIGN
German Influence Will Com
pei Them to Concentrate
Forces Against Russia
By J. W. t. Mason
(Former London correspondent for the
United Press.) Il.

Former London correspondent for the
United Press n
New York, Jan. l.--Reports from
Cairo that Diemal Pasha was murder
ed at Jerusalem on Christmas day by
insubordinate troops suggest that Tur.
keys campaign against Egypt is in an
unsatisfactory state.
Other indications bear out this guess
so strong ly that it begins to seem pos
sible that the Ottoman vernment
will attempt no serious Egyptian often
sive.
Diemal Pasha apparently was on his
way to the Egyptian frontier with re-
inforcements when his men mutinied
on account Of their miserable condi-
ton,
That troops so wretchedly equipped
should have been sent to relieve tho
Turkish situation on the Sinai penin-
sula Is significant. Plainly II means
that the Constantiuople authorities
have agreed to consider the Egyptian
campaign secondary to operations
against Russia in the Caucasians.
The pick cf the army is not going
southward to Egypt, nor is money be-
ing spent in an endeavor to re'estabhsh
the sultan's lost sovereignty along tho
Nile.
Otherwise the incident at Jerusalem
would not have happened.
II is wholly to the Germans interest
to persuade the Turks to devote most
Of their attention to the Russians.
Primarily they want TO use the Mo
hammodans to harry the Slavs II is
far more to the Turks interest, how
ever, to seize Egypt than to concen-
trate on warfare in the mountains OF
the Caucasus.
Undoubtedly there has been much
dissension Mt Constantinople concern-
ing the relative merits Of these two
campaigns, but the Germans appear to
have had their way, establishing the
fact that the Ottoman forces prime OBJ
iect must be the Caucasus and nos
Egypt. 49,
XII this demonstrates that German
influence at Constantinople has be-
come dominant even over the influ-
ence Of the Turks themselves
This situation probably is unique in

TRAINING Dogs FOR
SERVICE AT THE FRONT

A report from Paris says the Ma
tional Society of Ambulance Dogs OF
France now has eight kennels where
experts are busy preparing dogs for
service at the front. They are train
ing patrol dogs. dispatch carriers and
trench guards. as well as ambulance
dogs, with such success that the army
is calling for more than they can
supply. Two hundred and twenty
five patrol dogs have just been sent
TO a part of the front that cannot be
disclosed. These dogs accompany
patrolling and reconnoitering parties
at night and carry messages back to
the lines when necessary. The dog Is
able TO perform this duty much
quicker and in far greater security
than a man. The service is OF great
value. as il permits patrolling party
that has urgent news 10 send back TO
use the dog 10 maintain commuRica-
lions with the main force while con-
tinuing a reconnaissance
IL takes only ten days for dog Of
ordinary intelligence TO learn this
service so that il may be relied upon
TO perform il like a trained soldier.
The trench dog is trained first of
all TO maintain an absolute silence
until the approach of strangers TO the
trench; not until the enemy is within
two hundred yards must the dog
make sign. then he gives warning
by a low growl Many attempts of
the enemy TO make a surprise attack
by creeping up to the trenches in the
night have been detected by their use
The service is quite as exposed and
as dangerous as that of an advanced
sentry or lookout and he often
shares their fate. Clarion" re-
markably intelligentsentry dog that
became the glory of his company be

bomb. was buried with pomp and

his services.
True" little fox terrier who
sought out $50 wounded men IN con-
cealed places during the battle OF
the Marine, was one of a number of
ambulance dogs just sent back TO the
front after well earned rest.

pursuit OF the Germans until his mas
ter was killed. then in the confusion
OF the advance lost his company He
turned up one morning exhausted
and footsore at the kennel of the
president of the society of ambulance
dogs at Maisons Latitte, where he
had been trained.
All that dogs are doing and have
done at the front will not be known
until after the war; the censor finds
some of their services so important
that he says to disclose il would give
valuable hints TO the Freneh's enc
mics.
