"The European war is opening the
eyes of the working people to the fact
that the competitive system-the priv

That owning class which has the trade

and must struggle to extend 1T to other
countries. That owning class which
hasn't the trade is bent upon getting

cause of the war.
1.-THE soldiers in this war. I think,
are realizing more and more that they
are not fighting for themselves or their
country but for their industrial mast
ers. More soldiers are reading and
learning the truth in this war than
ever before. They are learning that
fighting is a business no man should
take part in except for self defense.
my campaign will be an effort tC
save the United States from the fate
OF Europe. For forty years European
Socialists have been warning the old
countries that this war of owning

warnings went unheeded. Now we pro-

SHOOTING RANGE
IS REPORTED SET
ON MT. CALVARY
Place of Christ's Crucifixion Is
Desecrated; Many Holy Places
Change Hands

London, March 9.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press. - The
care of the Holy Places brought on
the Crimean War, with the siege OF
Sebastopol. the battle of Inkerman
and the Charge of the Light Brigade
Just as the care of these Holy Places
so called. had before that convulsed
all Europe with the three Crusades
and yet the care of these same Holy
Places - the Holy Sepulcher at Jeru-
salem, the place of the Nativity at
Bethlehem, and the countless other
landmarks of the birth of Christian
ity - are changing hands as an Incl
dent of the present war, and almost
imperceptibly because of the noise OF
the conflict in so many other theaters
of warfare.
one report is that a military shoot
ing-range has been set up on Mount
Calvary, the site above all others ven-
Grated by the Christian world as the
place of the cruciflXion. But inquiry
establishes that if this rifle-range ex-
lists 1t is at the Gordon Calvary, sc
called, after General Gordon of Khar-
tum fame. who designated il as what
he believes TO be the real site, though
1T is not the Calvary commonly ac-
cepted by tradition, venerated and
guarded by Pilgrims and the church
and contended Tor by European ma
tions. This Gordon Calvary is in the
outskirts of Jerusalem, some distance
from the traditional site of the HOLY
Sepulcher.
Holy Land Occupies
From military standpoint, all at
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-03-16

tention to the German Turkish mill
tary operations in Syria has been alb
sorbed in the slow approach south
ward toward Egypt and the Suez Ca
nal, that rich prize supposed to be
the link between Europe and the
Orient. But while this main military
object has been going on, it has in
volVed at the same time the steady
occupation of the entire Holy Land
as part of the field of preparation and
advance. with military forces in con-
troll at Jerusalem. Bethlehem, Naza-
reth and throughout the region of the
Holy Places. and the French, Italian,
English and other custodians of these
sites, expelled or interned. Seven of
the Italian custodians at Bethlehem
the site of the nativity-have recent
ly been interned by the military au-
thorities, and their place is to be
taken by Austrian custodians.
The sweep of this German Turkish
movement through the Holy Land is
shown by the fact that the military
railway, on which the approach to
Egypt depends, is believed to be con-
structed to the desert outskirts of
Beersheba. This is the same town re-
ferred to in holy writ, and which Gre
ated the Biblical phrase from Dan TO
Beersheba," as it is the uttermost linn
it of the Holy Land, where 1t merges
into the desert leading to Egypt. 1t
is this Biblical point, Beersheba,
which is expected to be the military
base, to which the railway will bring
down supplies from the north, for the
advance across the desert. should the
attack on Egypt ever be carried out
as it has been loudly heralded. So
that Beersheba to-day is performing
the same function as in Biblical days
the last outpost before entering the
desert, $50 miles across, with an
ocean of white sand and almost no
water holes-none adequate for the
watering of a great army. The only
cavalry here must be such as is
mounted on camels with the dazzling
white sand as deadly to the eyes and
throats of beasts and riders as poison
gas is to the men on the firing line.
Cardinal Bourne in the course of a
talk with the Associated Press men,
toned the solicitude felt for these
sacred shrines and the gradual way
their care was changing hands. He
pointed out, however. that the Sultan
of Turkey had in past years given

operation in this locality. like Beer
sheba and Jerusalem, the whole range
Of this Biblical country is affected by
the military activity. But the chief
interest is at Bethlehem, Nazareth
and Jerusalem. At Bethlehem is the
sanctuary of the Nativity. a subter-
ranean chamber thirty-two feet long,
encased in rare marbles and constant
ly guarded and lighted, with a marble
slab making the place of the Nativity.
At Jerusalem is the basilica over the
Holy Sepulcher, first built by Constan-
tine. often swept away and built
again, and now a vast monument, en-
bracing within its walls and beneath
it's dome the sacred tomb which has
been guarded for ages.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-03-16

guarantees for the continued Christian
protection to the shrines, so that
while the nationality of this care
might change the Cardinal felt that
1t would still be Christian. For speci-
nc inquiries on the Holy Places, the
Cardinals encourage referred to the
Commissioner for the Holy Land, a
member of the Franciscan community
located in the outskirts of London
Seen at the Franciscan monastery.
the Commissioner, FIR. Albert, gave
such information as had filtered
through. AS to the report of a shoot
ing-range at Calvary he pointed out
that this did not refer to the sacred
spot accepted for centuries as Cal
vary, but to the so-called Gorden CAL
vary first located by General Gordon
few years ago. After Gord6n's serv-
ices in China, where he became fa-
nous as Chinese" Gordon, he spent
some time in the Holy Land, and
then in the Soudan where he was q
victim of the Mahdi e.t Khartum be-
fore the Kitchener Relief Expedition
arrived.
Have Costodians
The last time FIR. Albert visited the
Holy Land he was in company with
Lord Butte, and as they passed this
so-called Gordon Calvary, Lord Butte
stated that Lord Kitchener had told
him he supported the claim of Cen
eral Gordon as the Gordon Calvary.
This was a curious circumstance -
Gordon, the victim of Khartum, To-
eating a new Calvary, and then Kitch-
ener of Khartum, supporting the
theory of the explorer whose fame was
so closely linked with his own at
Khartum.
The reports reaching FIR Albert In
dicated that the italian and French
custodians of the different Holy Places
had been interned by the military au-
thorities, Austrians or some of the
Eastern sects replacing them. There
are many of their sects Capts,
Greeks Armenians and even Abyssin-
ians - though little is known of who
is in charge, except that most of the
Latin custodians are interned.
While the changes do not consti-
tute a loss of Christian control, yet
they show the shifting of the ma
/ tionality of that control, which has
been a frequent cause of International
complication in the past
