would preserve order just by letting

huskies, none OF them would ever have
been heard of outside his own immedi-

However-and we are coming grad

fearless. There is one thing that
scares him half to death. and that Is
being high up in the air. He can look
over the edge of a precipice and get
such a scare that he will shiyer when
he thinks OF IT years later.

German armies, however, makes the
prospect for decision on either of the
main fronts very doubtful, and the price
OF failure in a great effort in Flanders,
France or Russia might be half a mil
lion men or more. With no more re-
serves in sight, excepting 10000 youths
Of the class of 1916 and 1917, and with a
monthly wastage of not less than 800 600,
the necessity for a quick decision some
where obviously exists. And there is
only one place where such a victory
might be won without enormous losses
to the Austro- German armies. That
place is Egypt where only the lives of
Turk soldiers need be risked, where fail
ure would deal no serious blow to thu
Germanic powers and might even prove
worth while In immobilizing a great
British army for months, and where sue
cess might exercise a very important in
huence on the result Of the war.
Blow Expected in Spring.
When will the blow be struck at the
canal and Egypt? This problem receives
various answers from men who have
tried to work out the possible speed with
which Herr Meissner can construct his
desert railway and the quantity of can
non and munitions which the Germans
can send to Palestine over the Orient
and Bagdad railways in a given time
AL students agree that time is now
everything for the Germans, and that
Won Kressenstein will strike at the
earliest moment possible consistent with
German thoroughness of preparation.
The beginning of the march through
the desert is fixed by Hilaire Belloc as
the month of March, by the infallible
staff officer 1 have quoted as the first
week in April, by one critic as the last
week in February, and by another as
early in June.
What, will be the result? There is only
one opinion in London, among men who
are not at all enthusiastic over British
strategy. who never thought the Darda
nelles could be forced or the Serbians
saved. The Turks will fail; their task is
impossible. 1t took the children of Israel
forty years to go from Egypt to PaIes-
tine. 1t will take the children of the
Prophet at least as long to march from
Palestine to Egypt

naNinE the WASH bowl moved. AZ the re-
quest came from United States judge,
the Senator did not like 20 ignore Il.
In setting out on his important mission.
Hollis announced TO friends IN his once:

Congressman Bill Kettner, Of Cali

Of standing with palms open. upward.
and arms slightly oUtstretched. as n he
were about to hand somebody something.
The pose is a natural consequence Of

For many years Kettner was the

ready flow OF conversation and there
was no resisting him when he stopped

sought to convince him OF the need

business. The last time he ran he got
something like 10000 plurality in a
district normally about 10000 against
his party. In other words he changed
over about 10000 votes. which is a
feat without parallel, so far as one
can recall ofhand. in the United
States or elsewhere
Last summer there was no session
OF Congress, but there was an expo-
sition in Kettner's city OF San Diego.
Nearly every member Of Congress and
everybody else that Kettner had ever
