ed in circular issued by the army
forage department, and 1t mas met with
a ready response. 1t Is expected that
the military authorities will not object
to leaving enough closely cropped turf
to permit the royal and ancient game
under restricted conditions: and, on the
other hand, the players themselves will
probably improve their accuracy when
they are forced to search for every Off
line shot in well developed bayfield,
1t is not from the golfers that the
army forage department expects to
meet any objection, for those connected
officially with all the famous links have
signiffed that "Barkis is wiliin'" But
the departmental committee on food
production has suggested that golf
courses be used for grazing purposes
as extensively as possible. Following
this suggestion, many clubs have given
out contracts for the grazing. and on
this account they are not available for
hay production. A sacrilegious sugges-
ton that the greens be plowed up and
planted with potatoes was imm edately
howled down by every one that ever
handled a mashie, and the departmental
committee on food production gave it
the finishing stroke by declaring it un-
necessary and wasteful.

DEATH OF HEIR
TO TURK THRONE
STILL MYSTERY
BY cHAs. p. STEWART.

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
LONDON, Feb. 2s--Whether Yus-
suf Izzeddin, late heir to the throne OF
Turkey really committed suicide re-
Gently, as was officially announced
in Constantinople, or was assassinated,
is something nobody here expects ever
to be known.
Yussuf is well known 10 have been
pro-alIy in his sympathies Naturally
this made the Germans hate him. It
also made him hated by the openly pro-
German Turkish war minister, Enver
Pasha and by the group Of Turks
which surrounds the latter. These
circumstances are regarded as Civ
ing plenty Of ground for the suspicion
that Yussuf was murdered. AT the
same time it is rumored that the sui
tan's next-in-line had ample reason for
the deepest dependency concerning
the Turkish governmental policy which
i'll his opinion was rushing his country
in the direction of complete ruin.
1t is suggested in responsible quar-
ters, therefore, that his suicide would
not have been surprising. Yussuf was
nearly 60 years old He was Turkish
war minister at the age of IS, but
when Abdul Aziz was overthrown was
forced into retirement. Abdul Hamid
kept him semi-prisoner on the Ash
