BRITAiN's PENSION BILL

One hundred and twenty five million dollars annually for many years to come is the price that Great Britain must pay for her military unprepared ness. If Great Britain had been able to match the German army it is hardly likely that there would have been any war. It was because Germany felt that she was indomitable on land that she risked the test.
 Moreover, experience teaches that the loss of life ano peirer
 ment is much larger in an untrained army than in q carer -lll> u.--.4--. . army. At the beginning of the war the percentage of losses on tho Frr~-'-

 MT. Morgenthau said that the people of Turkey were welcoming Americas entry into the war, for the reason that it will aid them in obtaining a more democratic form of government. The former ambassador declared that it would not be anticipating too much to expect Syria and Armenia to become autonomous branches of whichever government they may be under. MT. Morgenthau appealed to the American public tc come to the immediate aid of the inhabitants of those countries and started a campaign to raise ten mill lion dollars.
