In Memory.

On Monday evening. Jan. 10th,
1916, at six O'Clock. the Angel Of
Death entered the home Of Mr. and
Mrs U Paulk. and claimed from
their midst their beloved grand
daughter, Lena Ray Foster
Her passing from this world into
the Great Beyond" was marked
with the same sweet calmness and
meekmess that attended her every
action in this life and breathed the
assurance to those who watched so
tenderly by her bedside that she
had died in the faith in which she
lived and that she had found peace
and rest from her labOrs
She was born in 0kOlOna. Miss,
June 3Oth, 1915, was a consistent
member Of the Methodist church
and her influence for good will live
long in the lives Of those whose
privilege it was to know her. Her
illness extended over several years,
although young. beautiful and full
Of ambition she bore with gentle
submission her sufferings, gave up
with cheerfulness her plans for a
busy useful life, devoted her time
to bring sunshine into the lives of
those about her and living In Close
CompaniOnship with the Savior she
trusted.
The high esteem in which she was
held was evidenced by the many
beautiful floral offerings. Funeral
services we're conducted from the
| M. f. church by Rev J W Raper as
sisted by Rev. f. E. Thornton. The
pail bearers we're: Bryan Smith
Blannie Davis, Dencer Harrington
| Hubert Pearson and Albert Medlin
Her remains we're inferred in the
| Houston cemetery by. the side Of
her father, the late George S. Foster
She is survived by her mother
Mrs W E Parker, several sisters anC
brothers besides a host Of other rel
atives and many friends who mourn
her untimely death.

Allies Blunders in Near East.

Turkey was irrevocably lost to the
allies within nine weeks after the great
war started. 1t was on November 5
that Great Britain declared war on
Turkey and formally annexed Cyprus.
In their dealings with the Young Turk
government the three foreign offices, in
fact, had carried guilelessness and
longanimity almost to the point Of
frivolity. The severity of this judg.
ment is admissible when one considers
the prodigious consequences of the pol
icy of the powers in question upon the
development of the great war. 1t can
not be over.emphasized that If the
Goeben and the Breslau had been run
down by the British admiral before
they reached the Dardaneiles, or that
if even after these vessels penetrated
Ottoman waters, Sir Edward Grey,
President poincare, and NJ. Sazonof
