PUT TURKEY OUT OF WAR,
NOW ENGLISH INTENTION;
TO ADOPT GERMAN METHOD

LONDON, Nov. 16.-England Is now
concentrating her attention on the
great task Of putting Turkey out Of
the war.
The strategy OF directing immense
efforts against q single nation was
originally monopolized by the Ger
mans, and they played It to good ad-
vantage.
First Belgium was overrun and
crushed. The Germans massed all
their strength against Russia, driving
the Russians from Hungarian soil and
overrunnIng Poland. The next vic
tins were Servia and Montenegro.
Then came Roumania, and now the
Teutons are trying to put Italy out OF
business.
British armies that have set out to
eliminate Turkey from the German
alliance are driving in the general
direction OF Constantinople from Pal
estine and Mesopotamia. or, in other
worus, from both eastern and western
Turkey.
In MesopotamIa the British have
advanced more than 100 miles from
Bagdad. along the Berlin-to-Bagdad
railway. In Palestine the British are
on the point Of entering Jerusalem.

ONLY MUCH BL00DSHED
WILL CLEAR SITUATION IN
RUSSIA, EMBASSY SAYS

Russia Is passing through her bsp-
tism OF blood. The harder the fight
ing and the greater the bloodshed.
the sooner the situation will be clari-
fed. This IL the opinion expressed
officially by the Russian embassy to-
day.
Iwe regard reports of continued
lighting a. good rather than bad
omens," a high embassy official
stated. The more sangulnary the
conflict, the more decisive will be the
ultimate outcome. Russia Is shaking
herself free for once and all from
insidious influences which have under
mined her political structure and
hinder the organization Of a stable
government. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary that the atmosphere be clarified.
"a compromise or indecisive adjust
ment now would only be the prolong-
alton of the evolutionary stage
through which the young republic Is
passing.
The State Department today re-
csived from Ambassador Francis at
Petrograd a cable under date OF the
18th, stating there had been street
lighting, that control Of the cable
Offices had shifted several times, and
that the Bolsheviki government had
not communicated with him in any
way. He informs the department that
he had sent daily cables, but the
messages between November 8 to ~
are still missing.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
IN FLANDERS, Nov. 16.-German
newspapers found on recently cap
tured prisoners show the KAiser's
government is preparing the public
for another strategic retreat" on
the west front.
Captured German officers admit
the German high command enter
tains the fear that a retirement for
a distance "of several miles" may be
necessary by recent British advances.
Data now in possession of the
British staff shows that Crown
Prince Rupprecht Of Bavaria in two
months has exhausted ninety-one
German divisions (nearly 1,365,000
men) in defending, vainly, the Pass
cheDdaele ridge and in fruitless
counter attacks.
In a similar period Of about two
months the Germans, during the bat
tie Of the Somme, used eighty-six
divisions (1,290,000 men).
The inspired articles in German
newspapers preparing the public
mind for retirement on the west
front, show the German staff's real
ization that its man power is fast
waning.

The horse does his important

The mission Of the bee is appar-
emily the highest Of all. She pre-
serves the hearty of this earth
and at the same time gives to
proud, foolish man lessons in
social organization. In organized
industry, In national ownership
and in stirpiculture.
To the tireless industry OF the
bees through endless centuries we
owe the wonderful variety and
beauty OF our fruits and flowers.
The bee is literally the gardener
of the world. His visits from
flower to flower make the blossoms
fruitful.
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
VARIETIES OF PLANTS WOULD
DISAPPEAR IF THE BEES DID
NOT VISIT THEM.
Possibly that fact may inspire
you with respect for the hard
working little creatures that fly
about the fields It may also
cause you to think that you are
not so far superior to the bee
after all. What race OF men does
such work as the bees do or does
1t half as faithfully?
Man will pass through many
thousands of centuries OF evolu-
tIon, OF intellectual growth and
organization before deserving to
be compared with the perfected
bee.
Among land animals insects are
the Oldest citizens Of the earth.
