TURKEY, TURKEY, WHO GETS
TURKEY?

The first prize OF the war is
Asiatic Turkey. Germany had reached
out and almost made the price her
own when the war broke out: little
by little the English armies are cap
turing it: to whom will it be awarded
Mt the peace conference? Will the
award make for future peace or
future discord?
Germany, as S. S. Mcclure points
out in his book, Obstacles to Peace
(Houghton, Miffiin Company, ais
only trifle larger than the State of
California, and has two thirds the
population of the United States"
Room for expansion for her is an
absolute essential The Berlin-to-
Bagdad Railroad was to link her up
with Asiatic Turkey, country about
the size of Mexico, with a population
less than one-fifteenth of what it
could easily support.
"Coal mines are very abundant and
rich. Arganis copper mines are the
biggest and richest in the world: Me-
sopotamia forms the richest petro-
leum district in the world The coun-
try is extremely rich in minerals,
including gold, silver, mercury, lead,
and these resources are untouched"
2 Strongly intrenched in Mesopo-
tamia, Germany would not merely be
rendered economically rich, but she
would menace the Suez Canal and
threaten both Egypt and India, the
treasure-house Of the British Empire.

BOISTEROUSNESS AT THE PIC
TURE SHOW.

Considerable complaint is heard
about boisterousness on the part of
Il certain crowd of boys at the pic
turc show. These youngsters seem to
think Il good time means making as
much fuss as possible and raising
Cain generally. Nobody wants to rob
the boys of any fun due them, but
the picture show is not the proper
place for the kind of fun these bows
seem to enjoy. The management is
losing some patronage on account of
it.
The services of the sergeant and
the good offices of the Mayor is like
~ to be invoked.

U. S. NAVAL GUNNERS GET IN
GOOD WORK.

New York World of Wednesday,
The World publishes herewith an
account OF fight in English waters
between United States naval yes
sci and an enemy destroyer. This
mighty interesting information has
Just reached this country through
tho medium of private letter, for
the writer of which the World fully
vouches:
A Port in France, August 1S.
Dear Father:
Received another letter from YOU
yesterday and was some glad to re-
ceive it. | wrote to George yesterday
care the United States Consul at Glas-
Cow, and hope it reached him We are
now laid up for repairs with three
beautiful shot holes in our ship, the
result of brush with German de-
stroyer Off Lands End. Luckily there
were none Of the boys killed, two
were slightly injured, and l skinned
my shins getting to my gun on the
hurricane deck. BUT! You should
nave seen what we did to the Huni
we fought at about 1900 -.ords range
and our third shot took his forward
gun fair, and then we raked him with
a broadside, but he would not bami
down his colors.
We then closed in on him, to about
4Oo yards. and took his wheelman and
quartermaster off the bridge with our
machine guns. He then struck and
we took aboard twenty-one officers
and thirty-five men, most of them
wounded, out of crew of 1O8. which
shows the superiority of American
gunners. We tried to tow the Ulan.

but she sunk twenty minutes later

Indeed, Germans made no effort to
conceal this aspiration. In book that
nus had wide circulation in Germany
Count Reventlow says:
1T had an unfavorable effect and
created difficulties. that in Germany
itself the object and importance Of
the ,Bngdad Railway was proclaimed
to the world to some extent in an in
correct and very exaggerated manner.
/. -. 1t was certainly true that il
would DO possible, after the network
of railways had been completed. to
make Turkey q dangerous menace
against Egypt and India; but that
sort of thing ought not to have been
SAID, SO long as Great Britain was in
a position to hinder and delay the
bulnlding of the railway"
1t was very wicked, of course. for
Great Britain to try to defend her
self against this contemplated assault
on the richest part of her empire.
Hence the hymns of hate" in Ger
many. The English and Russians are
driving on across Nesopotamia: and
the great question is, "Who will hold
Moesopotamia when the peac. con-
ference convenes?" and '.,,.o will
hold 1T permanently?

inc at least 3,135,oOo men. With the
increasing wark work and the growth
OF vital industries it was believed that
even a larger percentage would rule
in the next draft, as more men will
b exempted for industrial Causes.
This throws the brunt upon the
dependency exemptions and the opin-
ion was expressed that in the next
draft the regulations would be made
strictr by the president. At the same
time, it was said that if third draft
was necessary, government officials
considered it better to recall exemp-
tons, in thousands of "hairline cas-
es" than to call upon congress for
another registration of new classes
in order to secure the required num-
Der of men.
1t was pointed out that all ex-
emptions except for disqualification,
physical deficiencies, such as missing
arms, legs, and eyes have been COM
pletely provisional and the govern
ment has the right to revoke them. at
any time.

BUCKWHEAT.

Buckwheat may be seeded the ear
~ part of the month with good pros
poets of maturity before frost. This
is one of the grain crops which should
not be neglected this year on account
OF the great grain shortage. A large
acreage in buclzwheat will help meet
thls shortage for food purpo.:es and
will be profitable to the farmers who
are fortunate enough to secure a
crop for the market.
1t also makes splendid feed for the
hogs, cattle and poultry and where
concentrates are used, will help mate

required during the winter.
