"No nation could possibly have conducted
warfare in a more aboveboard and clean-hand-
ed manner than the Turks" said Norman Will
kinson, the English artist, after visit to Gal
lipoli. "a thousand pities that the Turks
should have been guilty of such fiendlsh acts
as the Armenian massacres; for had 1t not
been for this the Turk would have emerged
from this trial with a character from which
the stain of lust and cruelty had been effective
ly removed"
The blot of wiping out fully one-half OF the
entire Armenian nation is indelible, but at the
same time official The permitting such whole
sale slaughter even to start is cause enough
for aboshing official Turkey once for all. The
fierce Kurds wanted no better chance than that
afforded them by the Turkish Government
which ordered great patches Of Armenians &C.
ported TO the places where they were most ex-
posed to the mountain tribes, for whom not
soul can hold any brief. When official Turkey
opens jails that the inmates may escort villages
of Armenians to unsettled country something
is very likely to happen. Even the rank and
file of the regular army, made up OF simple,
primitive men who in their own communities
would be law-abidng, could not resist the
temptation of the unusual circumstances when
put them in charge of escorting masses OF
women on long marches The Turkish private
will do anything he is told by superior.
Properly led, the Turk has many admirable
qualities in peace as well as in war, but, un-
fortunately, he very seldom has been fortunate
in his leaders. Back in the early days of the
Crimean War the Turks would ask the British
Red Cross doctors day after day: when are
you English coming to help US? Your English
officers lead u.s. our officers drive US"
Lord Headley paid tribute to the Turk in
the London Daily Graphic" of March IL, just
before the Allies trade conference was held in
Paris After declaring that Germany might

sure to lose, no matter which side wins.
The Turkish government, withal, is vile.
American residents in Constantinople during
the conflict have found the native newspapers
full of officially inspired articles designed to
stir up popular feeling against the British
when the underlying sentiment has tended dan
gerously against Germanys aspirations. One
preposterous news story related in great de-
tail how, during the Turkish feast Of Bairam,
the Turkish troops threw cigarettes over into
the British trenches, and how the British re-
taliated by throwing back smokes which would
explode and injure the faces of the Mosem
troops.
The writer remembers the startling dis
patches to the press in the Turkish capital
during the first Balkan war. In the week that
the Bulgarans pushed the Turks back TO
Tchataldja the total number of kilometres ad-
vanced by the Turks in the news dispatches
would have placed the Turkish army some
where in Scandinavia.

"No Nation Could Haze Con-
Quoted Warfare in a More
Handed Manner. "

In letter published in "The London Times
of February British officer wrote from
Salonica:
Imagine this war; Some of our people
went out on reconnaissance in front of the
line where there were number of Turks.
The latter were as courteous as possible and
showed them the best places for geese and
helped TO stalk them"
From the Gallipoli Peninsula, however have
come the most tales Of the individual bravery
and courtesy Of the Turk as fighting man.
dozen instances could be mentioned. Truces
were suggested by the Turks to allow both
sides to bury their dead; dozen more of occa-
sions where Red Cross flags and flags of truce
were carefully respected.
When the Turks were plunged into the war
by the Germans English business men of
fighting age in Constantinople Immediately
offered their services to the King, although on
amicable relations with the Turks In one in
stance one of these Englishmen, who was as
signed to the fleet at the Dardanelles as in
terpreter with the rank of lieutenant, was sent
forward 10 meet a Turkish officer advancing
under a flag of truce.
Imagine the ieutenant's surprise to find the
Turkish officer one of his respected friends
of Constantinople. The truce quickly ar
ranged. they chatted for few moments, and
while the lieutenant was returning to his lines
a stray shrapnel burst near him. The next
day profuse apology for the accident reached
him from the "unspeakable" Turk.
The New Zealand and Australian forces,
themselves no amateurs at the game of fight
ing from natural cover, found much to learn
from the Turks, who as individuals showed
great ingenuity and craftsmanship in their
ruses Many Turk, completely disguised
a bush or small tree by tying greens about
him, picked off many Tommy before the game
was discovered.

"The Day" in Monterey

The papers will not record more
safe and-sane celebration than that
carried out at Monterey on Tues
day.
The crowd was not large. nor
was the celebration elaborate, but
the harmless diversions we're ell
joyed to the full by all present.
The hurriedly prepared program
was not generally advertised, but
was carried ont as posted on Satur-
day: A double header base ball
game between Monterey and Staun-
ton, trap shooting contest by the
local gun club, and a lawn party
late in the evening.
The Stanton team-so called,
but made up of men from Augusta,
Rockingham, with one or two from
Mcdowell - arrived Monday even
ing ane were guests of the home
nine. The morning game, at 10
o'clock, resulted in a score of 6 to
4 in favor of Monterey and proved
the superior metal of the home
aggregation, though four of their
regulars were away.
The second game came off at the
close of the trap shooting, about
3:l5, This game proved a walk
over for the locals, though the
break did not come until the 4th
inning when Monterey made six
runs, one of them a home run by
June Trimble. Each side scored a
run during the remainder of the
game, giving Monterey a second
victory-7 to l.
The visitors, a jolly, gentlemaply
bunch, took their drubbing good
naturally and left for home after
supper at 6 o'clock.
The morning game was umpired
by Paul Slaven and Byron BeVer-
age and the afternoon game by r
L. Tyler, of Staunton, who with
his family, motored to Monterey,
arriving about noon.
The afternoon program started
off with trap shooting, nineteen
participants taking part. Messrs.
Arch Wagner and Buck Kerlin tied
FIR he first honors at single birds,
breaking % each out of 25. After
S 'ooting for some time unable to
change the tie they agreed en- a
compromise. The second prize
was won by John Slaven, breaking
20 out of %, and II. B. Wood car
ried off 3rd prize, breaking 10.
At double traps Messrs. Byron
Beverage and R. C. Jones tied on
IA out of 10 pairs. The latter won
in shooting the tie off and carried
away the handsome loving cup. Mr.
Beverage won the honor the past
two matches
The lawn party, gotten up hasti-
" hy the tired boys, was well at
tended, so much so, in fact, that
the supplies were prematurely eX-
hansted, but sufficient sum was
real zed to meet the days expenses.
Let it be written in the boldest
H0'ics that not a drunken man was
seen during the day. This is unus-
