1t is evident that the British are
making drive for Damascus. Their
coast army at Askalon is little over
a hundred miles from Beirut, the Sy-
rian seaport opposite Damascus,
which is 81 miles inland They can
take Beirut any time they want to,
as it is under the guns of their fleet,
and can probably mass enough men
there to break down any army the
Turks can muster. At the beginning
of the war, Egypt was considered the
most vulnerable point of the British
empire, but results are pointing the
other way If the British take Da,
mascus, the entire system of Syrian
and Arabian railroads will be in their
hands.

EFFORT TO RAISE
TRUCK FUND IS OFF

The Star regrets to announce that
the attempt TO raise money to buy a.
truck for Company A will have to be
called off.
First Lieutenant r. L. Marsh, who
arrived home for a brief furlough
Wednesday night, informs the Star
that there is no doubt that the COM
pany, with the regiment and division,
will leave Camp Wheeler in a short
time, and the company will not be
able to carry the truck with it, so to
buy it now will be useless.
Following is the list of those who
have contributed. Several of them
have not paid in, the Star prefering
that they kept the money until it was
called for. We have something over
fifty dollars, which we will return to
the donors unless they would rather
have it given to the Red Cross or the
Y. M. C. A. The money will be very
acceptable to both funds, and while
it would not go directly to our boys,
it would help them by helping all.
Will all who want their money
either returned, or given to the Red
Cross or Y. M. C. A., please notify the
Star at once.
Lieut. Marsh was not at liberty to
say where he thought the regiment
was going. Judging by what we hear
from other sources, its most likely
destination is Mineola on Long Island,
from where it is likely to go to
France in the spring.
