AT CAMPS
GAIN STRONG HOLD
ON AMERICAN BOYS

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-FOotbaII
baseball, track and field athletics-aI
the sports known to America are run
ming the Gsmut OF approval in every
cantonment I'm the United States.
Never before in the history OF the
United States army and navy has
such a fiocking to the colors OF sport
taken place. After the war ends
sports should have such a firm grip on
the youth OF the land that il should
enjoy the greatest patronage it ever
saw.
The reason is the war. and the ef,
feet is to loosen the tense seriousness
OF getting ready for this job OF rid
ding the world OF Kaiseristic war
maniacs.
From California to New York, and
for the same inclusive eXpanse up and
down the map, sports are gripping
the attention or youngsters. Boys who
never before saw a first-class football
game. a star boxer. a record-holdlng
athlete. a star ball players, and the
glimpses OF the higest type OF ath-
letics. They are learning to do the
things in athletics the way they are
done by theoest athletes in the world
because these men are teaching them.
These new army men OF Uncle
Sans are living clean, healthy lives.
They are strengthening their muscles
and quickening their eyes by a course
OF athletic sprouts that has its place
right along with squads rlEhtinE and
shouldering hummmms. It's paying
because it's keeping the men healthy
and affordipg them playful recreation.
Recreative athletics and competi-
tive athletics each have their place in
these camps. The Newport Naval
Reserves, in fact, had one OF the best
football teams in the East during the
season Just over. Camp Sheridan,
Camp Dix, Camp Devens. Camp Up
ton, in fact, nearly all the camps had
football teams and they had n lot OF
fun out of It. They probably will
have good baseball teams. and they
probably VIII show just as much 10y
atty to baseball as they showed to
football At one Southern training
camp two OF the best football teams
in the West played r tie game the
Saturday preceding Thanksgiving
Day. and the soldiers were the only
spectators.
Sport IS being elevated to a place
In the national life It never enjoyed.
And when II comes back from war It
will-literally-be all over the place.

NO GENERAL FURLOUGH
/. FOR NATIONAL ARMY

No general furloughs for drafted
men in the national army camps will
be granted during the Christmas holi-
days, according to a ruling OF the Wa
Department.
Secretary OF War Baker explained
that the railroads are already over
burdened and that TO throw 500 900
men on the railway systems would
wreck them. Discipline of the camps.

In closing his preat prophetic out
line recorded in the eleventh chapter
OF his book, the Prophet Daniel fore.
tells the destiny OF the Turkish en-
pire. He says:
He shall plant the tabernacles Of
his palace between the seas in the
glorious holy mountain; yet he shall
come to his end, and none shall help
him" Daniel Xi:45.
Two things are here foretold OF the
Turk: First, he shall establish his
palace in the GLORIOUS holy noun
tain" second, he shall then come to
his end"
The palace, it is fair TO presume,
stands for the dwelling place OF the
sovereign-the capitol. At present
the palace OF the Sultan Is in Con
stantinopIe. But that Is not 1.-The
glorious holy mountain" OF the Bible.
That mountain is Mt. Zion, where
Jerusalem stands.
This is made plain by a previous
statement OF the Prophet Daniel in
one of his recorded prayers, In which
he says:
20 Lord, according to all thy
Righteousness, / beseech Thee, let
Thine anger and Thy fury be turned
away from Thy city, Jerusalem, Thy
holy mountain" Daniel IxlB. With
this agree the words OF ZecharIah:
Jerusalem shall be called a city of
truth: and the mountain OF the Lord
Of hosts, the holy mountain"
Sees Jerusalem As Capital
The capital Of Turkey has never yet
been located at Jerusalem, ain the
glorious holy mountain" But It is to
be placed there. II we correctly under.
stand this prophecy.
without question. Jerusalem is the
most likely city in Asiatic Turkey for
the new capital OF the government.
Just when Turkey will be compelled
10 leave Constantinople, no one can
tell. Just what city or cities may BIO
maze the new temporary capital, no
one Knows. The prophet said the
palace would finally be planted Gin
the glorious holy mountain" where
Jerusalem Ia located: and everything
IN presentday conditions points to an
early fulflment OF the prediction.
HOW wonderfully time nils In the
propnetlc lines Of the word of God!
BUT the prophet saw beyond the
estaollHhment OF the new capital OF
turkey at Jerusalem. "ln the glorious
holy mountain" He foresaw and fore
toid the end-the utter ruin of the
government OF Turkey.

Prince Of Peace Is establishing. The
prophecy points out these movements
in the world which in one way and
another touch the work OF God. When
thus set forth by. the prophets, these
| events in the world become signs or
heralds OF greater and more impor-
tant events relating to the kingdom
/ Of God.
According to the proRhesles, the
whole world will be thrown into
tumult, and war over disputed po-
litical questions relating to the Near
East.
It so happens that Turkey is the
nation in possession of the territory
and the interests OF the Near East at
the time OF this conflict. To reach
settlement OF these problems means
to dispossess Turkey. That means
her downfall.
First Step Il Strife.
The first step in, the accomplish
ment of this end is to foment strife
and war. This has been going on for
a hundred years. The next step is to
wrest territory from her. This has
been done, until now all her pos
sessions in Africa and nearly all in
Europe are gone.
The great deciding blow will be to
drive her from Constantinople, the
capital OF her empire. The war now
raging In Europe Is designed to ac-
complish this; and when 1t is brought
about there will be but one more
great act in the dramatic final and
utter destruction OF the Ottoman en-
.pire. 4 number OF the great powers
have agreed to and publicly an
nounced this last act. The universal
belief is that this will soon be &C
complished.
But the clash OF nations that will
bring Turkeys end will be the Arma-
geddon, the battle OF the great day
OF God foretold by John in Revelation
1851. That will be the time OF
trouble that the prophet Daniel says
will. attend Turkeys overthrow. And
at that time Christ. the Prince OF
Peace, will establish His everlasting
kingdom. Then deliverance from all
the sin, suffering, and sorrow OF this
world will come to the people of God.
Events Seen As HeraIds.
The events now taking place before
our eyes are sure tokens. cheering
heralds. that that glorious day is al
most here.
whichever side in the conflict wins
leave -AH
Turkey Is allied with the central
powers, the loss OF her territory con-
tributes to the defeat OF the central
powers. The success Of the allies on
the Tigris and at Jerusalep is a hard
blow to the mighty project OF the cen
trail powers to establish an empire eX-
tending from the North Sea to the
Persian Gulf.
II the victories won by England in
the Euphrates Valley, and in Southern
Palestine can be held, Germany's prof.
ect must fail.
As to the effect OF British posses
sion OF Jerusalem on the prophetic
view that It is yet to be the capital
OF Asiatic Turkey. we do not see any
serious difficulty nNthis. The Turk
ish government represents Islamism
throughout the world. There are
so. 1000 900 Mohammedans In India and
many millions in Egypt and northern
Africa. The religious views and SEN
timents OF this people can not be
entirely overlooked or set aside. Tur-
key can not be wiped off the map in
a day. 1t wifi be to the interest OF
Great Britain and her allies to-meet

views, exorbitant demands, and con-
flicting claims. are sure to prove in
surmountable obstacles to the main.
tensnce OF peace. e.
This is the outlook presented by the
| prophet. After foretelling the disin.
tegration of Turkey. the transfer OF
her capital to Jerusalem. and her
final overthrow and ruin, the prophet
says:
| AT that time shall Michael stand
up, the great Prince, which standeth
for the children Of thy people: and
there shall be time OF trouble, such
as never was since there was a nation
even to that same time: and at that time
! thy people shall be delivered, every
one that shall be found written in the
book'-the Book OF Life.
Sees Baptism Of Troubles.
By the connective "at that time"
these two events. the end OF Turkey
and the time OF trouble are immedi-
ately and inseparably associated. The
sign of the end OF Turkeys reign will
, be the herald of the time OF trouble.
When the world sees Turkey COM
ing to an end. all may know that the
human race is about to receive a bap-
tism OF trouble such as It has never
known "since there was a nation"
This is surely a sad. dark outlook,
but It Is exactly what the world faces
today.
But this is not all that the future
has in store for sinful, sorrowlng,
ruined humanity. Thank God, de-
liverance is promised to all who will
accept IL on the conditions required
by the Deliverer. Here Is the prom
Use:
AT that time shall Michael stand
up. the great Prince which standeth
for the children OF thy people. =
And at that time. thy people shall be
delivered. every one that shall be
found written in the book" Daniel
I2:l.
Michael. the Prince Of Peace. is the
Lord Jesus Christ. The standing up
OF the Prince of Peace is the begin
ming OF His reign over His glorious
kingdom of peace. The beginning OF
His reign is in connection with the
time OF trouble-the time Of the world
struggle OF the nations. Then, in the
midst of this trouble, when the Prince
OF Peace begins His reign, all whose
names are at that hour found written
in the book OF life will be delivered
they are the redeemed and will re-
ceIve the protection OF Him who
"standeth for the children of Thy
people"
A Glorious Contamination.
This IL the all-important feature OF
the prophecy. This is its climax, Its
glorious contamination. This Is the
great objective from the first verse TO
the last. There is the closest possible
connection between the historical
events foretold in the prophecy and
