AUSTRALIAN FIGHTER
HONORs THE TURKISH

LONDON, Nov. Am enthusiastic
tribute to the Turk as ali honorable
tralian officer to a relative in London.
"The Australians will hear nothing
said against the Turk" lie writes. 81
want to warn you against the tales of
Turkish atrocities in Gallipoli or else
where, We know all about the Turk.
Haven't we fought against him for
months? He may be colored infidef,
but he fights like Christian gentle
man. One of our fellows went out to
get a Turk supper Something went
wrong and the Turk got him. But he
put a good fight against numbers, and
the Turks were so pelased with him
that they dressed his wounds and gave
him a bottle of wine and water and
sent him back to u.s."
The same officer remarks that at
first the English Indian troops regard
ed the Australian troops with contempt
and considered it almost undignified
TO be asked to fight alongside them.
THE Gurkhas bucked when they were
first put beside us" he says. "They said
that we were not trained soldiers and
that it was not fair to have to fight
with us. Then We got into charge
together, and now they admiringly call
US the White Gurkhas."

GERMANS MAKE WAY

They brought with them copies of
papers published by the Gorfan author
tiles in the French language in Belg-
ium and circulated in Northern France
in which there appear numerous ad-
vertisements that are occupying the
attention of the French authorities on
the supposition that they refer to war

put on aisle by the Germans.

OF course it all depends on what
happens in connection with the prohi-
bition fight as to whether the session
will be prolonged. But even suppos-
ing the prohibition legislation goes
through without a long filibustering
fight, which is by no means likely,
there still remains enough work, it is
believed, to keep the legislators busy
for more than thirty days. And if a
month is spent in wrangling over pro-
hibition there is simply no telling then
how long they will be here.

The Shame of the Age.

The shame and disgrace of the age,
that the so-called Christian nations
could not refrain from Strengthening
each other long enough to prevent the
horrible massacre of the poor Armeni-
ans by the despieable Turks, who have
destroyed them by the hundreds Of
thousands and put the young girls and
women into their harems. The devil
must snicker when the names of such
Christians are mentioned and when
minister's approve Of war instead of
preaching love and peace as Christ Jesus
taught The only motive for the pres
ent war is greed, sel6shness and gain,
millions of lives have been sacrificed
and million Of dollars wasted Water

Motor Cars for 500 is Forecast.

Manufacturers News prints a story
that indicates that automobiles will
be made to sell as low as 500 to $3.50
each. The gist of the story is that the
Standard Oil company has carbure-
ter that will burn kerosene as efficient
y as gasoline. That they sought to
have Henry Ford utilize it In his plant.
The Standard has more kerosene than
it knows what to do with.
1t wants some of the demand for
gasoline switched over to kerosene.
But Ford laughed at the idea. How
ever the Standard is not greatly dis
mayed by Ford s refusal to respond to
their proposition. They can equip fac
tories of their own, and consumption
of kerosene is their object They win
make kerosene burning motor cars and
distribute them at cost to the manu-
facturer and distributor.
Ford viii come back at them and
threatens that he can make Fords for
500 each. So there you are, If com
petitors such as the Standard and Ford
get into the game, 500 motor cars may
be a reality. Burning kerosene or gas
oline would not make a whit of differ
ence to anyone if the cars run all
right.

Just as we go to press we learn

This is the time when little folks
light bonfres to burn the autumn

is especially hazardous to girls, on ac-
count of the inhamatory character of
their dress.
Hunters must be on their guard at
all points, or they may violate provi

for which to be thankful

given last Friday evening, Oct. %, at
the Barreltown school, under the direc-
ton of Miss Adelaide Schaumberg,

to thirty-five dollars and thirty-five
cents, which will be used for the bene-
fit of the school.
The attorney general has advised r.
Scheibel of the state conservation

Autoists travelling at night can
avoid the bright glare of the headlights

cess of tipping the windshield backward

| still allows the driver to see his own
side of the rode The suggestion is
worth trying. and a little experiment.
ing will show that the trick really works
if the windshield has dust enough on
it to reflect or absorb the light. If per-
fectly clean it will avail little as Inter
