per telling something of the wonder
full history of the lands over which
Turkey has ruled for many genera
tions, prepared for the National Geo
graphic Society. William Joseph Sho-
walter gives some interesting facts
which ordinarily escapes attention. He
reminds the reader that except when
Paul and his associates crossed the
Hellespont to Athens and Rome, the
entire Bible story, from Genesis to
Revelation. was lived in what has
been Turkey. and calls attention to
the fact that the great Empires OF the
East, the civilizations of the Egyp-
tians and the Phoenicians, the glories
of Bazantium-all were planted on
what has been Turkish soil. He also
shows how King Sargon, ruling at the
very dawn of history, congratulated
his empire upon his success in bring
ing down the high'cost of living. He
says, in part:
mo other people possess lands of
such wonderful historic interest as
the Turks. Occupying region only
a third as great in area as the United
States, they have yet a territory with
in whose boundaries the greatest, the
most influential events in human his
tory have occurred.

Amsterdam. April 1.-THE Ger
man General Staff has issued .
formal reply to numerous letters
and communications expressing =
desire that monuments Of art and
civilization in the war zones should
be preserved by the German armies
as far as possible.
These appeals" says the Staff's
statement, "show how deeply root
ed In our people is the understand
ing of such culture questions. The
German army is equally inspired by
such sentiments, and always spares
monuments when they are not either
destroyed by the enemy or used In
the enemy's scheme of battle"
Hamburg, April IA Jewish
newspaper in Hamburg reports that
the number of Jews promoted from

the number Is much larger. Until
the present war Jews were not eligi-

NESS OF WAR

San Diego, April 12. Declaring
that the real cause of the European
war was the jealousy between the
belligerent nations for commercial
supremacy and expansion, Irving
Cobb, noted war correspondent, does
not see any end for the gigantic
struggle until one side is decisively
beaten and its resources exhausted.
Cobb, who has just returned from
Europe and whose articles on the
war in the Saturday Evening Post
are attracting widespread attention.
is a visitor at the San Diego Exposi-
tion.
II came here to drink in the beau
ties of this great exposition" said
Cobb, who Is a daily visitor at the
grounds. "As stand here and look
over this wide expanse of beauty
and peacefulness, what striking
contrast it makes to what have
just seen on the European battle
fields. There all is strife and dev.
astation. Here all is prosperity and
happiness. Over on the other side
they want to fight it out, the coun'
tries urging peace are those which
have no war but if there is any
thing nearer hell than war don't
know what it is. General Sherman
was right"
Cobb declares he is taking much
needed rest but plans to go back ant
resume his work in Europe in May
Cobb does not appear to have lost
his humorous vein even though hi
has been associated with an atmos
phere conducive to all things except
ing comedy. Good nature radiate'
from every inch of him and the fac
that he had never been accused o.
being a handsome men he consider
quite a joke. He Is never nettlet
when a jibe is given about his per
sonal appearance or build. and see
humor in such references as: Cobl
