POST MORTEMS

The medical men have discovered
that John Bunyan had hypochondri-
asis. A little while ago they an
nounced that Hamlet was a melon
choliac. St. Paul, they previously
concluded, was an epileptic. John
Fox they accredited with some poly
syllable ailment, and DR.. Samuel
Johnson had a new tangled stomach
aiiment which they could have cured
if they only had a chance to operate.
Bernard Shaw rallied against these
medical gentlemen, and said many
harsh things about them in the
preface to "The Doctors Dilemma.
That gentleman did not know the
risk he ran. As soon as the doctors
get that far they may diagnose him,
and append new name to what
had been vulgarly classified as his
genius.

As far back as a year ago President
Wilson was given a striking illustration
Of how the laws work. One evening
while the White House chauffeur was
driving the President along a particu-
larry dark street, the chauffeur turned
on the road lights for a few moments.
Hardly had he done so before q traffic
policeman on a motorcycle was beside
the car. loudly upbraiding the driver.

operation as described was q mar
vel Of secrecy, preparation, and
effectiveness. The Turks were COM
pletely misled, and now they have n
great force hemmed in between the
British forces in the southern part
and this newly landed army in the
north. ...
II Is not safe to assume that the
advantages are all on one side. The
new British landing force has a
powerful Turk army to the south Of
It, while to the north is the msin-
land Of European Turkey, with the
Constantinople garrison and other
forces whose strength must be con-
siderable. Thus there is the possi-
bility that the allied landing party
may itself be found in q wise be-
tween the two forces Of Turks. It
would seem to be question whether
the British naval forces in the Gulf
Of Saros can cooperate with the
landed army so effectively as to pre-
vent a squeeze Of this kind. Doubt
less the allies staff is confident Of
its position or it would never have
undertaken such an enterprise.
Within a few weeks, the confident
forecasts opine, the Dardanelles
forts will fall and the European side
Of the Hellespont will be in the
hands of the allies. The Sea Of
| Marmora has been penetrated by
submarines Of the allies. and it ia
generally assumed that the Bosporus
fortifications would not hold out
very long if once the DardaDelles
were subdued and the Russians and
western allies could concentrate
their forces at the Bosporus. II il
not claimed that Constantinople is
likely to fall before spring, however
and while the Turk remains there
Russia will not have been relieved.
Important as seems this coup OF
the allies on the Gallipoli, its ulti
mate effects must depend on the
course of larger operations. If the
Balkan states enter the war the enc
for Turkey is at hand, and ever,
day adds to the probability that thu
entire Balkan power will shortly b'
thrown to the allies. If that be true
then it will be within reason to ga!
that the greatest achievement Of tn,
midsummer campaigning will b.
not Germany's push into Poland bu

men would much prefer to do their
work and have it over with.
To comfort the fireman, he has

allowed him, and that, if he il

UNCLE SAM DISCOVERS THE
WANT AD PAGE

The Federal Government is find
ing newspapers more and more val
liable adjuncts to it's work. Every
department, of the Government,
within the last few years, has made
greater provision for disseminating
information, and these have found
the newspapers the most universal
medium of circulating this informa-
tion.
The latest utilization of the news
paper by the Government is not
through its news pages, but its ad-
vertising columns. A plan to circu-
late newspaper "want ads" through
Federal, State, and even municipal
employment bureaus had it's incep-
tion with the President. This is the
outgrowth of the experiments the
Department Of Labor has made with
finding Jobs :.r the unemployed.
The Government is not alone in
finding A. advertising pages of a
newspaper valuable. The habit of
skipping the ads" has been aban-
doned by careful buyers, and those
who search for the business news of
a community. Even the economists
who long regarded advertising as a
species of lost motion, now recog-
nize it as valuable aid to distri-
button, as valuable in it's way as
transportation, and as necessary.
Some Government bureaus depend
wholly upon the dissemination of in

FIRE TRAPS AT THE PRESIDE

It takes q pretty sensational ex-
ample to imprsas the American
people WitA tho existence Of a
menace to safety. The Eastland
disaster had to supplement the
General Slocum tragedy. Will other
lives have to be offered as a sort
of human sacrifice before the Gov
ernment itself will be impressed
with the danger in the fire trap
garrison buildings like those at
the Preside?
Mrs. Pershing and her three
children are not the only lives that
have been sacrificed by the ram
shackle buildings at the Preside.
Nine women and children, in all
have lost their lives through fires
at the place where the Government
asks a mans family to remain while
he is serving his country.
The chief engineer Of the San
Francisco fire department attests
the imminent danger. He said, "It
is a crime to force families, espe.
cially where there are children, tt
live in many Of the houses provided
by the Government at the Preside
They are veritable fire traps. 1t i.
a shame to ask men who are willing
to sacrifice their lives for theil
country to live in such buildings"

THE 0ALLIPOLI MOVE

There is so much detail in the dis
patches describing the big strategic
move Of the allies on the Gsllipoli
peninsula a few days ago, by which
they are reported to have bottled up
the Turkish forces, that the story
carries more conviction than most
early accounts of big war moves.
The Gallipoli peninsula is about
sixty miles long and from two or
three to fifteen miles wide. The
early landings Of the allied forces
were made in the lower reaches of
this strip Of land, whose eastern
shore fronts the Hellespont. When
last springs efforts to hammer
through th9t waterway with only
the guns of battleships failed it be-
came necessary to land troops, and
this landing was fearfully expensive
and ill-conducted. The gains along
the peninsula have beer painfully
slow.
But now it appears that the Turks
failed utterly to protect the upper
and narrower parts of the peninsula.
The allies made a feint at landing
heavy forces in Asia Minor, as if to
undertake a great advance on Con-
stantinople from that direction; they
drew off a large share of the Turk
forces, and then suddenly, on the
night of August 13, loaded force
stated at 10000 on a great transport
and battle fleet, rushed it into the
Gulf of Saros, on the western side OF
the peninsula, and made a landing
under cover of darkness withou.
noise or fuss. There was not ever
opposition to the landing; the big
force pushed rapidly inland and
seized the higher ground command,
ing the communications between the
lower peninsula and the mainland
thus cutting off the Turk defenders
from their communications. Tht
