Austrans or some of the eastern sects replacing them. There are many or tnelr sects-Copts, Greeks, Armenians and even Abyssinians-though little is known oi who is in charge, except that most or the Latin custodians are interned.
 While the changes do not constitute loss of Christian control yet they show the shifting of the nationality of that control, which has been frequent cause of international complication in the past.
 Besides the main points of military op- eration in this locality, like Beersheba and Jerusalem, the whole range of this Biblical country is affected by the mlli- tary activity But the chief interest is at Bethelehem, Nazareth and Jerusalem. At Bethlehem is the sanctuary of the nativity, a subterranean chamber 32 feet long, encased in rare marbles and con stantly guarded and lighted, with mar ble slab marking the place of 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, embracing within its walls and beneath it's dome the sacred tomb which has been guarded for ages

tion to the German-T Turkish military op- eratlons in Syria has been absorbed in the slow approach southward toward Egypt and the Suez canal, that rich prize sup posed to be the link between Europe and the orient. But while this main military object has been going on, it has involved at the same time the steady occupation of the entirely Holy Land as part of the field of preparation and advance, with military forces in control at Jerusalem Bethlehem, Nazareth and throughout the region of the holy places, and the French. Italian, English and other custodians of these sites, expelled UT interned Seven of the Italian custodians at Bethlehem the site of the Nativity-have recently been interned by the military authorities, 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 rail- way, on which the approach to Egypt depends. is believed to be constructed to the desert outskirts of Beersnepa. This is the same town referred to in holy writ, and which created the Biblical phrase from Dan to Beersheba," as it is the uttermost limit of the Holy Land, where it merges into the desert leading. to Egypt. It is this Biblical point, Beersheba, which is expected to be the lilllltdTy OdSe tO WHICH the ralIWaY VIII bring down supplies from the north, for tEe advance across the desert should the attack on Egypt ever be carried out as it has been loudly heralded. So that Beersheba today is performing the same function as in Biblical days-the last out post before entering the desert 15O 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 cn camels, with the dazzling white sand as deadly to the eyes and threats 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 mentioned the solicitude felt for these sacred shrines and the gradual way their care was changing hands. He pointed out, how ever, that the Sultan of Turkey had in past years given guarantees for the con- tinued Christian protection to the shrnes, so that while the nationality of this care might change the cardinal felt that it would still be Christian. For specific inquiries on the Holy Places, the cardi- nars entourage referred to the commis- sioner for the Holy Land, a member of the Franciscan community located in the c,1t clx;rtc of London

owners of ancient, storm battered craft, with leaky sides and outworn engines, have been left alone to take the chances and rewards Of a very risky but very remunerative calling. In consequence of the high prices these old tubs are making golden voyages.
 Consequently there has come ahort in Grimsby strange reversal of val- ues, that a broken-down olu L4D o.l her last sea legs is worth more in the market than a splendidly equipped, brand new trawler Similarly, one eyed trawler skipper has great com mercial advantage over a skipper with no physical defect. For whereas the one would be taken into the naval service, with modest rates of pay, the other would be left free to go to sea. and would be able to see well enough with his one eye to bring back catch of fish of which his share might amount to as much as 100 pounds for a single voyage.

Leap Year Proposal Took"

FIOm Lne lIluldHdpOliS
 Miss Myrtle Smith, pretty stenog- rapher for a motor car company at Kokomo, Ind, walked into a drug store one afternoon and inquired about a furnished room. which she understood was for rent About the same time Everet Peek, chauffeur for local ga- rage entered the store.
 "The thing to do." the proprietor Of the store said to Miss Smith, lis to pro- pose to-. this good looking young man and settle the room question for life"
 Do you suppose he could learn to love mel" the maid asked, blushing.
 "I dare you to ask him."
 Refusing to take the dare, Miss Smith walked over to where Peck Stood.
 "You look to be nice young man." she said, "and as this is Leap Year, I believe I am within my rights in ask ing you if you will marry me and sev- tie this room question for me?'

 That's all right Miss Smith cooed, dangling a German silver purse. I've got some money. Let's go see the li- cense clerk"
 They were married last night by the Rev. Otis A. Smith, pastor of the First Presbyterian church.
 Miss Smith is an orphan, her mother having died two weeks ago. That was the reason she was looking for room. Peek and the girl previously had seen one another in the course of their work, but were not intimate friends.

IN GORDON'S CAVALRY

Seen at the Franciscan monastery, the commis sioner, Fr. Albert, gave such in- formation as had filtered through. As to the report of shooting range at Calvary he pointed out that this did not refer to the sacred spot accepted for centuries as Calvary, but to the so-called Gordon Calvary first located by General Cor don a few years ago. After Gordon $ services in China, where he became fa- nous as Chinese Gordon, he spent sometime in the Holy Land, and then in the Soudan where he was a victim of the Mahdi at Khartum before the kitch- ener relief expedition arrived.
 The last time Fr Albert visited the Holy Land he was in company with Lord Bute. and as they passed this so-called Gordon Calvary. Lord Bute stated that Lord Kitchener had told him he support ed the claim of General Gordon as to the Gordon Calvary. This was curious circumstance--Gor the victim of Khartum, locating a new Calvary, and then Kitchener of Khartum, supporting tine theory of the explorer whose fame was so closely linked with his own at KhartCm,
