The grand strategy OF the Allies Asiatc
campaign is revealed today in reports Of
victory on three fronts--in Palestine where
the British are within twenty miles Of Jeru-
salem Mespotomania. where General
Maude's cavalry has pursued the demoral-
lied Ottoman forces to within twenty-eght
miles of Bagdad and nine miles of Ctesi-
phon, the great battle ground of the 1915
campaign, and Persia. where the Russians
have seized the mountain passes south of
Hamadan. through which the Cossacks are
driving in chase of the fleeing Askaris
The Turks. beaten on every front. are
giving way at the angles of a gigantic tri-
angle running from well within the Holy
Land, across the desert, through the Valley
of the Tigris. then northeastward up 10
Mount Asadabad. just below Teheran and
Asia is developing az the most romantic"
straight back again across the Mediter-
ranean.
THROW AWAY GUNS
The rout of the Portes army on the Tigrs
is complete Scattered equipment, flung
pell-mell over the sands, covers the eighty
mile advance of the British so promiscu-
ously that they have scarcely begun to
enumerate it. The Turkish dissolution here
has weakened the Persian front and seems
also to have extended to their Palestine
forces which have been pressed back thirty
miles in less than three weeks.
Signs have not been lacking that the Turk
could not stand a concerted pressure on
every front, and with todays reports these
signs become actual portents. Financially,
despite a liberal largesse of German gold.
the Ottoman empire is in a desperate posi-
ton.

Orphanage Free from Debt.
wood Journal.)

1t is a matter for congratulation
that the Connie Maxwell Orphanage
went to the convention which met In
Rock Hill last week with all debts
paid. This Is something that has not
happened in good while. 1t is a
splendid illustration Of the fact that
the people stand ready to do their
best for the orphanage. 1t lies mighty
close to the hearts Of all good men
and women.
IT is in order to congratulate DR..
A. Il. Jamison upon the splendid
showing that he is able to make in
his report. The freedom OF the Or
phanage from debt with a good sur
plus over will put It far in the lead
as the new year will start out with a
clean balance sheet. Let us hope
that this showing will not cause con-
tributors to overlook the Orphanage
at the present or in the future as its
demands are continual.

The Christmas Climbing.

In aGditiOn to the mOmentOuS
Christmas celebration planned by the
Red Cross one wldch Camp Jack
son Will long rcmemDer--the various
Y. NJ. G. a. units will have Festivities
appropriate for the occasion. AL
ready some OF the secretaries report
that companies have volunteered to
put in Christmas trees, green's and
holly with which to adorn the build
ings. The large open fire places in
the new buildings will be ready to
burn the Yulc-tidc log, and every
thing possible will be done to make
Christmas like It used to be back at
home.
II is planned to have every soldier
who comes to the Christmas cclcbra-
tion bring Il small gift to some other
soldier, not exceeding ten cents in
value, but wrapped as though it were
going to his best girl. These will be
collected at the door and redistrbut-
ed later, so that no man will get his
own package no hdlp accomplish
this redistribution We will have some
real, sure-cnough Christmas girls,
without which you could hardly have
Christmas. What else does this
Christmas need? Well, it needs
homcfOlks, but the Y.M.C.A.' s are not
quite able to come across with that.
The next best thing, however, is;
something from homcfolks, and we
want homefolkS who live near enough
to make Christmas candy and cake
Tor this party. Tell the folks about
1t and have ii sent from home about
December 20 to the Army Y.M.CA,
Camp Jackson, Columbia. S. c.,
marked For Christmas Party"
These good things will be distributed
10 the Y.M.C.A. units according to
the number Of men being served, and
we believe In the. homcfolks strongly
enough to know that there will be
plenty.
Don't get blue about being away
from home on Christmas We will
have some party ourselves. and we
want your help. and know you will
give it.
