The Fall of Bagdad.

When Germany made its peace
tender last December on the basis of
the war map, the Turks held 10000
square miles of Persian territory; the
Russian offensive toward Teheran
had been stopped, and the Towns
hend ignominy at Kut-el-Amara had
been unavenged by the British; the
Pan-German aspiration for hegemony
in the middle East was in a fair way
to realization.
Within three months all this has
been changed. Bagdad has fallen;
the Russian Gen. Baratoff has cap
tured the important city of Hama
dan, 100 miles northeast of Herman
shah, and will soon link up his drive
into Persia with the British line.
Turkey is menaced by an Arab revolt
under the sheerif of Mecca, prevent
ing her from sending sorely needed
re-enforcements to Persia and Meso-
potamia, and she is further harried
by vigorous British operations in
Syria and Palestine. The German
wedge in Central Asia is receding.
Turkey not only is hard pressed, but.
unless all present information is
wrong, is virtually a spent force in
the war.
Bagdad is no trap for the British
the Turks made altogether too costly
an outlay of human lives in its de-
fense to permit of such theory. To
retrieve the disaster of last year on
the Tigris the British built railroad
up the Persian Gulf and provided
such excellent light-draft transports
that their line of communications to
Bagdad is far superior to any the
Turks ever enjoyed. The Levant is
ono OF the main prizes of the war;
Germany has spent scores OF millions

THE "oNE IMMORTAL THING

Think you these felt no charms
In their grey homesteads and embowered
farms?
In household faces waiting at the door
Their evening step should tighten up no
more?
In fields their boyish feet had known?
In trees their fathers hands had set
And which with them had grown,
Widening each year their leafy coronet?
Felt they no pang Of passionate regret
For those unsold goods that sseem so
much our own?
These things are dear to every man that
lives,
And life priced more for what II lends
than gives.
Yea, many a tie. through iteration sweet,
Strove to detain their fatal feet;
And vet the enduring half they chose,
Whose choice decides a mans life slave
or king -
The invisible things of God before the
seen and known.
Therefore their memory Inspiration blows
With cehoes gathering on from zone to
zone:
For manhood is the one immortal thing
Beneath Times changed sky.
And. where 1t hghtened once, from age
to ace
Men come to learn. in grateful pilgrim-
age, .-
That length of days is knowing when to
die
