kEKERY AMERICAN WAR CAMP AND
mall OUR TRAINING CANTONMENTS

In wars past more soldiers were
killed by disease than by bullets. But
not so now. There will be no such
epidemics Of sickness in this war as
disgraced the campaign against Spain.
The danger of an epidemic in any Of
our environments or in American camps
abroad is slight-less than in our
American cities
Uncle Sam has put into force string
ent health regulations in camp and
cantonment Few individuals in pri-
vate life observe the precautions now
required Of the army by official regu-
lations, violations Of which are sub
iects for court-martial and severe
punishment.

extreme precautions" writes war
correspondent from the American base

The man most responsible for this

british c 0SE IN
on JERUSALEM
Approach Planned in Way
to Keep Forces in Touch
With Sea
GERMANY DENIES
HELP TO TURKS

LONDON. Nov. 2i.-British forces on
Sunday occupied Belt Uret-Tahta. u
miles northwest Of Jerusalem. on Mon
day British infantry. advancing into the
highland Of Judah. reached a line 10
miles west OF Jerusalem.
The British plan appears to be to
approach the ancient capital from the
northwest. so that the forces viii be
at all times within reasonably close
touch with the sea, from which all
their supplies must come The Turks
seem to be disheartened and their rear
guards keep well in advance OF the
British front
Although the sentimental aspect Of
General Allenby's advance on Jerusalem
has been uppermost IN the public mind,
because of the great historical and
Biblical interest Of the region through
which his troops are moving, the
strategical importance Of this drive is
much greater. so important is this
field considered in Berlin that high
German officer was assigned last sum
mer to direct the Turkish operations
there, and according to recent reports
he is still in charge
The assignment Of General Allenby.
one Of the three chief assistants Of
Field Marshal Haig on the western front
IN France, without whose preparatory
work, so said army gossip, no import
ant drive was undertaken, shows that
the British also had a due appreciation
Of the Importance Of this field.
Although Bagdad Is 300 miles or more
to the east the capture Of the Holy
Land will facilitate enormously the
operations north of Bagdad, practically
lnsuring their success. With the Bag
dad region and the Holy Land securely
held the Raises dream Of an extension
Of his visionary Mitteleuropa empire
falls 10 the ground. President Wilson
and other American statesmen, and
many British diplomats also, believe
this Is the kernel of the whole vast
scheme Of war in the kaisers mind
Tho loss Of Palestine therefore may be
characterized as a solar pleXus blow to
the German plans
It was credibly reported recently that
the Turks In this region were making
frantic appeals TO Germany for re-en-
forcements, but Germany could not help
them except by sending a few more
officers, for she has no troops TO spare.
Reports current here today tell Nof the
mysterious withdrawal Of more Ger
man troops from the Russian front for
some unspecifed use. Some military
experts here suggest that these forces
are intended for use in Palestine, to re-
conquer the lost territory and hold II
at any cost A week or ten days should
show how much truth there is in this
surmise.

before each meal; teeth brushed once a
day; underwear changed frequently
bedding and clothing summed and tents
aired daily; tents frequently struck, to
sun the sites.
All these things will be done to
make our boys better ilsnting men;
to make them more efficient weapons in
liberty's battle with autocracy, and to
bring home those who escape bullets
unmarried by disease.
And let us not forget that great
effort which is now being directed by
the surgeon general and his staff
against the consequences OF private
immortality.

THE KAISER'S DREAM

There's a rumor now on current. tho
strange it may seem,
OF the German Emperor's wonderful
dream;
Being tired Of war. he lay down in
bed,
And like other things. dreamt that he
was dead
And In a deep coffin, lying in state
With his cold, waxen features frozen
with hate;
He wasn't long dead when he found to
his cost,
That his map Of the next world and
passports were lost.
So, leaving this earth TO heaven went
straight
Jauntlly strutting right up TO the gate;
But the lookout angel, In voice strong
and clear,
Said, "Be-gone Kaiser w, we don't
want you here"
We'll" thought Wilhelm, That's very
uncivil,
Does he mean must go straight to
the devil2"
SO he turned on his heel and off he did
go,
Running full speed to the region be-
low.
But when he got there. he was llled
with dismay.
For whilst waiting outside he heard
satan say
To his imps, NOW look here, boys, l
give you all warning,
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here this
morning
But don't let him in. for It is clear,
We're far too good for the mongrel
down here.
II he gets in, theroll be the dickens
TO pay.
For bad as I am he's worse any day."
"Oh, satan. dear friend" the Emperor
cried,
Excuse me for listening. whilst waiting
outside.
II you don't let me N. where will
gO2"
Indeed, said the devil, II really don't
know"
"oh, do let me In. I'm feeling quite
cold,
II money you want, I've plenty Of gold,
Just ind me corner. no matter how
hot"
NO" said the devil. most certainly
not"
We don't let apartments for riches or
pelf,
Here's some sulphur and matches. make
hell for yourself"
Then he kicked Wilhelm out, and van
pushed in smoke,
And just at that moment the Kaiser
awoke.
He jumped out Of bed in a shlvering
sweat,
And cried, Gosh that dream know l
shall never forget,
That l won't get to heaven. / know
very well,
But it's awful tough luck to be kicked
out OF hell"

new FRENCH PREMIER IS
FORMER MATHEMATICIAN
lBy United Press.l

PARIS, Nov. i.-By nail-M. Pain
leve, the new French Premier, is 81
years Of age, having been born in Paris
IN 1868, and since 1910, has represented
his native city in the Chamber OF Rep
rcsentatives
He was educated in Paris, at the Ecole
Normale Superhero, took his degree in
Paris as Doctor Of Science and later
held a professorship at the Sorbonne
and at the Ecole Polytochmique. So
in every sense, Paul Painlevo is Pa
tisian Of the Parisians.
Before entering politics, he made
name In science and is looked on as
one of the ilrst mathematicians In
France.
He is an authority on aviation and
railways, sitting on the Military Board
of Aviation and the Technical COM
mittee for Railroads. lie is author Of
numerous works on mathematics and
mechanics and il is hc who created
the Ministry OF Inventions when. ia Oc-
tober, 1915. he entered the BRAND
cabinet as Minister OF Public lnslruc-
tiOn and Fine Arts Lest March Pre-
mier Ribot appointed him War Ain
ister which post he held until the
president Of the republic entrusted
him with forming the new cabinet.
The greatest difficulty for the man Of
science who turns statesman, says The
new premier, is the necessity for TAX
Ing quick decisions and abiding by
them. He confesses that as Minister OF
War, it required a course Of sslf-dis-
clpline for him to overcome the specu-
lative balancing Of problems which is
natural to the scientific mind And the
man who helped him to take decisions
rapidly and thereby fitted him for his
present post, he says, is General Pc
tam, with whom he worked at the War
Ministry.
