crowded, chiefly by ladies' that it is diff has but one remarkable square, called the At-Meldan. It occupies the site of the an cient Hippodrome, "horse course" place at one time of great splendor, having been ornamented with marble colonnades and surrounded by seats like an amphitheater. The present area is an irregular quadrangle about 260 yards long and 15O yards wide, containing some obesks which belonged to the ancient structure, one of which, of granite is composed of single piece fifty 'eet high. The numerous public baths in the city are mostly of marble, of plain ex- terior but handsome and commodous within, with every accommodation and ap- piance requisite. They are divided into a number of circular rooms lighted from above and sufficiently spacious to admit a number of bathers at the same time. The cemeteries of Constantinople outside the western wall, are among its greatest orna- ments. From their antiquity and the trees planted in them, they have become vast forests, extending for miles around the city and its suburbs Jews, Armenlans and Creeks have their own quarters in the city
 The few manufactures of ConstantlnOple are chiefly confined to articles in morocco leather saddlery, tobacco pipes, fez caps, arms, perfumes, gold and silver embroider ies, etc; but it's foreign commerce is con siderable. The harbor, or Golden Horn which more resembles a large river than a harbor, is deep, commodious, well sheltered and capable of containing POO large ships, which may bad and unlongside the quays It is about six miles long and little more than half mile broad at the widest part ; its general breadth, however, does not much exceed a quarter of mile The Golden Horn is usually crowded with ves- sels and light boats, and presents lively, bustling scene Among the imports are corn, iron, timber, talow and furs from the Black sea and Russia; cotton stutts and yarn, woolens, silks, watches, furniture, jew elry, coffee, sugar, pepper and spices, splr- it's, etc The exports consist of silks car pets, hides, wool, goats hair, madder, va lonia, etc In 1907 l4,743 vessels, witd a tonnage of II ,456 IFS, entered and cleaI\I /; 4.567, with tonnage Of 6,5U5,925, were British-From Americana.

SMYRNA

smyrna which is just now occupying the attention of the allied forces in the opera tions against Turkey, is an ancient city and Important seaport on the west coast of tn" pastrolic of Aratolia, at the head of the Gulf of Smyrna an inlet of the Egean sea It has an artificial harbor, smyrna has been for centuries the most important place ot trade in the Levant This trade is carried on partly by shipping and partly by cara van from the interior, and Is now supple mented by railways. The principal exports are raisins, figs, valOnla, cereals tobacco gum-arabic opium, carpets cotton wool Uquorice and olive oil.
 There are conflicting accounts of the orl- gin of smyrna. The most probable IS that which represents it as an Eolian colony from Cv3ne. About 6SS E. C. 1t fell into the hands of the Ionians of Colophon. It laid claim to being the birthplace of Homer and its coins bore his image It became one of the greatest and most prosperous cities in the world It is one of the two among the seven churches in Asia which St. John addresses without Febukc. In the Thirteenth century only the ruins of its former spIendor were left; but after the Turks became masters of the country 1t began to revive and it Is now the most ilourishing city in Asia Minor, The popu- Iation is 100000, fully half being Greeks From Americana,

FRENCH CONTACTS VERSION
 OF CAUSE OF GERMAN DEFEAT

William Phillip Sims, writing from Crecy en Brie, France makes the following addition to the multitudinous war yarns
 "Did anybody ever tell you the real req son why the Germans got such a licking on the Marne, just as they thought they had Paris right in their paws?"
 The chubby ever cheerful innkeeper was laying the table for my lunch under a big lilac bush on his lawn.
 .Why, I suppose" l replied, "that they got licked for the same reason anybody gets licked-because they met better men,"
 "No," said the innkeeper, putting plate They got licked while they were drunk" :"
 Drunk" !" said l. "A whole army drunk ?"
 "It was my son who told me" explained the innkeeper, still smiling. "He was in the battle. He charged with his bayonet right into the German trenches, have Prus- sian helmet he brought back, wounded a bit though he was.
 "The Germans were all drunk, monsieur I give you Henri's word for it..
 "On booze probed.
 "On champagne" grinned the innkeeper.
 Champagne, monsieur" he continued, 'sis not for the Germans. They drink beer There is no poetry in beer-no romance. Ugh! It makes me sck-bilious, tres malade.' But in champagne there is every thing that is tender and delicate and beau tiful and rosy. It is distilled from the noblest soil end the fairest skies in France"
Iditarod pioneer., 1915-03-13

But the Germans drank it 2" l asked, to bring my host back to earth.
 "The Germans" replied the innkeeper, "they do not know how to drink cham pagne And champagne hits back when the profane hit it. It hits back hard.
 ''The Germans as htey struck the cham pagne country pillaged every cellar they came to, and you know that for time they came very fast They entered Rheims and Chalons and Epernay and everywhere they drank champagne as they drink beer at home.
 Millions of bottles they drank. Yet not one in a thousand had ever tasted cham pagne before Now they reveled in 1t, bathed in it, staved in casks in cellars and literally rolled in it.
 sAnd they all got drunk-so drunk that many of them were like dead men for hours
 After that they were sick, very, very z'"'- The hot'lefeld showed 1t. The whole army was first drunk and then sick.
 1 cannot tell you how bad 1t was. The Germans brains were deadened, their strength broken, their powerful army wob- bled on its legs.
 Of course. my son told me we should as likely as not have licked them without the champagne but each bottle, he said, was worth gun"
 As I left the inn I wondered just how much truth there was in my hosts story Once for A nail kingdom was lost they tell us. Can it be possible a champagne drunk will cost Germany this war!
