Army Silently Formed.

At the same time those French troops that could be spared from Europe also were transported to the land of the Nile. Australian and New Zealand con tingents reached Egypt through the SueZ canal Finally there were avail able more than 10000 British troops, including Australians, New Zealanders and Indians, and about 6O,O00 French soldiers, including Algerlans
 Simultaneously a monster staff was ransaclling both countries for supplies. Every preparation was made for main taining a great army for a long time on foreign soil
 Alexandria was the first advanced base. It is TOO miles from the Oar danelles. A nearer base was absolute ly necessary. Consequently the British fleet suddenly occupied the islands of Mudros, Tenedos and Imbros. Tene- dos is only twelve miles from Kun Kale and Siddel Bahr.
 England asserts q right of occupa- tion. Greece took the islands from the Turks in the first Balkan war. The London conference stipulated that the islands should be returned to Turkey Turkey refused to sign the treaty and then Greece consequently con tinued to occupy the islands. There was a mild Creek protest when the British took possession, but it was over come. England promised to give back the islands at the end of the war and even yet the civil administration re mains Greek.

SPEED OF ALLIES
 DARDANELLES
Getting Foothold on GaIIipoIi Under Fierce Fire Took Forty Hours Instead
 of Seven Days.

A GRAPHIC and stirring descrip- N tion of the landing of the al 4 " lied army at the Dardanelles
 Is given In q dispatch from Athens by an American war corre- spondent who has seen the reports of the foreign military observers accom- panying the British and French forces.
 The general staff of the Greek army, he says, regards the achievement as one of the most remarkable operations of the war. The troops accomplished their landing in forty hours, forcing their way despite heavy losses under hot fire, while thousands struggled in the glare of searchllghts and amid q terrific cannonade to put the supplies ashore.
 In the reports of the military at taches two features are mentioned as standing out-the careful, systematic and detailed preparation, and then the surprising speed with which the disem- barkation was carried out and the foot hold on the soil seized.
 The plan of action was arranged eight weeks before at series of mill tary conferences In London, Paris and Malta. Every detail of it went through without hitch Concentration of troops and supplies began immediately. Thousands of men left England secret ly under cover of darkness, crossed the English channel and proceeded to Mar seilles to embark on transports for Egypt

4 Prayer For LisIlt

Lord God of peace and war. Thy presence we inplore! Descend from heights afar And lead us as of yorei The nations stagger, blind And perishine in night. O, let us once more find The. long delaying light! Deal gently with our sin. Deal gently with our grief. Thou who has shut us in This plane of unbelief. Thou who has spread U veil Before our mortal eyes, So that earth's noblest fail Thy way to recognize! Thy pity we invoke Upon our darkness here. O lift the battle smoke And let thy light appear!

shrapnel spattered among the small boats. The men did not reply. They could see nothing to fire at.
 The boats were run on to the beach. The men jumped out, ankle deep in water. They ran up the beach for seventy-hve yards and threw them selves prone on the sand behind any little hummock they could find. Three or four men remained in each boat and poled it frantically back to the steam launch, which took it in tow and headed for the transports for an other load.
 Hour after hour men piled ashore from the transports. The line of dis. embarkment was more than a mile long.
 The second detachment ran forty or fifty feet in advance of the first land Ing party before throwing themselves flat on the sand. The third party went the same distance in advance of the second, and so on.
 At first the firing line was only a mile broad. 1t was gradually length ened to cover the whole nose of the peninsula. Finally the line was more than two miles long.
 The first detachment took terrible punishment. Dead and wounded were everywhere. The wounded had little show. There was no place to move them. They received rough first aid treatment and were dragged to the shelter of some small hills They suf- fered greatly later in the day from the sun and heat. At the close of the day the medical corps got supplies ashore and erected temporary hospitals under the lee of a cliff.

Tenedos as Supply Depot.

A fleet of cargo boats freighted to the islands huge quantities of food. scores of heavy siege guns and thousands of boxes of ammunition. Although most of the supplies destined for the use of the troops after they landed in Turkey were taken to the islands of Tenedos and MudroS, the troops themselves re mained in Egypt until the final rush for the Dardanelles.
 When eventually one morning before daybreal the transports steamed out of Alexandria they made line nearly eighteen miles long The admiral at Mudros was advised by wireless. At Mudros and at Tenedos were stored thousands of tons of supplies Every available warehouse was filled to the roof. Monster piles of boxes and bales extended along the beach. At once the work of loading hundreds of light CTS, reQuisitioned from half the ports of the eastern Mediterranean, was pushed to completion.
 A little less than forty eight hours after it left Alexandria the fleet Of
 
 ships and half q hundred destroyers, passed Tenedos. Three hours later powerful tugs, towing long strings of lighters, steamed out of TenedOs and Mudros and fell into line many miles to the rear of the transport fleet

SWAT THE FLY!

(From Dixon, ILL.,, Telegraph.)
Mrs. o. N. Daw is confined to
her bed on account of the recent
injury she sustained when she fell
from a chair to the floor. Mrs.
Daw was attempting to swat a fly
at hand and stood upon the chair
to reach the intended victim. He
was further away than at first
anticipated and in an endeavor to
reach him she fell as a result. of
becoming overbalanced. We trust
her injury will soon give her no
further trouble and will soon be-
come we'll. She certainly is to be
commended for her efforts to
swat the fly for if more of us did
this We would find less disease in
the world and conditions more
healthful in general. Besides the
flies are bothersome pest any

tenders of the frontier, and were
praised for their courage.
All this was changed, however,
when orthodox Christianity gained
the ascendancy in Spain, and in the
latter part of the sixth century king
Reared himself a convert, called
upon all the adherents Of Arianism
to follow his example, and join the
Catholic faith. With the zeal of a
convert he set himself to stamp out
Arianism and all other heresies. 1t
was but natural that the Jews turn
would come next. At the church
council of Toledo the king and the
synod united in adopting measures
to restrict the ri ghts and liberties
of the Jews. They were not to be
allowed to hold public office, and
were prohibited from contracting
marriages with Christians, from ac-
curing Christian slaves. Children
born of intermarriage were to be
forcibly baptized. Thus were the
Jews at once to be isolated, humili-
ated and injured economically, since
all well-to-do people in those days
possessed slaves or serfs who per-
formed all the labors in the home
and the field The circumcision Of
slave or a Christian by a ew was
punished with confscation of prop
erty. Another church council, that
of Narbonne even went SO far as
to prohibit the Jews from singing
Psalms at funerals, thus interfering
with the free exercise of their reli-
gion.
The Jews offered king Reared a
large sum of money to have the re-
strictive laws repealed. He refused
to accept it, and was highly praised
for it by Pope Gregory. But fortu
nately the Kings power in those
DAYS was limited. The mobiles who
elected the King were absolute mas
tiers in their own dominions. They
and the people at large were quite
friendly to the Jews, SO that the
new law was very soon dead letter,
and in about twenty years forgotten.

The Germanic tribes of the Visi-
goths or Western Goths had made
their way gradually from their orig
inal homes north of the Lower
Danube, thru Trace, Greece, North
ern Italy, plundering and devastat-
ing those lands and even capturing
and sacking Rome, down the Italian
peninsula to it's utmost southern
point, then back thru Italy, cross
ing the Alps, into the south Of Gaul
and the north of the Iberian PENN
sula where they finally established
a permanent kingdom. This king
dom lasted from AIS to I'll, c. E.
Coming at first as the allies of Rome
and nominally subject to her, they
gradually conquered the peninsula
and made themselves independent.
The Visigothic monarchy was cleo
tive, and alongside Of the king was
a powerful aristocracy that had
large part of the administration in
it's hands, and a still more powerful
clergy, facts that account for good
deal of our subsequent history.
The Visigoths had embraced
Christianity before they invaded
Spain but theirs was heretical
Christian faith known as Arianism,
somewhat akin to modern Unfair
ianism, while the native Iberian and
Roman population protested the or
thodox or Catholic faith. There ma
turally resulted friction between the
new ruling race and the native sub
jects. The Jews, however, were
given by the new masters perfect
civil and political equality, and
even. allowed to hold public offices.
For their rude barbarian masters
could not fail to recognize their
superiority in skill and knowledge.
And so the Jews lived happily and
prosperously in Visigothic Spain for
over century. Those who lived at
the foot of the Pyrenees were en-
ployed in the defense Of the noun
tain passes leading from Gaul
against the invasion of new barbara
an hordes composed of Franks and
Burgundians. They proved them

fore paid no attention to the laws

fore paid no attention to the laws
passed during his reign.
But the situation changed with
the accession of king Sisebut to the
throne. 1t is difficult to account
for his animosity toward the Jews.
But from the moment he assembled
the throne in 612 he decreed that all
the forgotten laws of Reared be
strictly enforced against the Jews,
unless they embraced Christianity.
In his decree he even pronounced a
violent curse upon any Of his sue
cessors who might abrogate the
law. When his decree produced no
better results than had the laws of
his predecessor, owing to the indif
ference of the nobility who acted
in all matters independently Of the
sovereign, Sisebut took more dras-
tic measures and ordered that the
Jews of his dominions be either con-
verified or banished. Ninety thou
sand Jews, says Gibbon, were COM
PEELED to receive the sacrament of
baptism. The possessions of those
who resisted were conhscated and
their bodies tortured Undoubted-
1y many left the country, and sought
refuge in France or Africa.
Upon Sisebut's death, his decree
regarding the Jews became a dead
letter. The fortunes of the Jews
throughout the succeeding reigns
Of the Visigothic Kings depended
very largely upon the character of
the monarch and the degree of his
subservience to the higher clergy.
Under Sisebut's successor Swintila,
known as "the father of his coun-
try" their condition was undisturb-
ed. They gradually returned to
their land and their faith. But fate
pursued them again under the next
king Sisenand, who was more sub
missive to the high dignitaries of the
church. The Council of Toledo,
presided over by the archbishop of
Seville; again put the laws of Re-
cared into effect Specially harsh
treatment was meted out to those
Jews who had once been converted
and had returned to the synagogue.
Their children we're forcibly to be
taken away from them and placed
in monasteries. If found secretly
adhering to Judaism they were to be
handed over as slaves to their Chris
tan fellow-citizens. Fortunately
they still enjoyed the favor and pro-.
lection of the nobility and escaped
the cruelties decreed against them.
