Petrograd, June 19.-Germany IS using ink and alcohol instead of powder and shells on the east front.
 A propaganda of booze and notes is being relied upon more than bull lets to undermine the strength or the Russian army.
 Every morning, so the war office reports, there are found near the Russian trenches hundreds of neat Iy printed or written notes and let ters, couched in wellturned phras- ca to deceive ths Russian soldiers regarding Germany's aims and to induce them to believe that Rus sia's welfare and their own will best be conserved by peace with Germany
 The Tueton note writers are no buster than their Ganymedes, for the epistles are always accompan- jed with liberal gifts of liquor.
 Despite all their efforts the Russian military leaders have so far failed to break up these forms of communication between the trenches.

WELCOME THE BELGIANs.

Belgium is to send commission to us and
the welcome given it in this country will be in
a way the most heartfelt shown to any of the
visiting bodies which our entrance into the
war has brought to our shores. The great out
pouring of public tribute to the French and
British commissions can hardly be outdone in
behalf of Belgium's representatives, but there
will be, perhaps, a more universal and pervasive
sympathy with the Belgians than with any
other visitors.
The commission will represent people about
whose motives in the war, about whose wrongs
and sufferings and indomnitable courage there
is no dissenting voice in the whole concert of
world opinion. Sympathizers with Germany
and even the German publicists themselves
show aversion to an attempt to justify Ger
many in Belgium. Serbia, Montenegro, Greece
and other small nations may have suffered
commensurate with Belgium. but upon none
of them came the sudden shock of war without
warning or cause, as it did come to Belgium.
And no other nation in the war has shown.
greater steadfast determination, patience and
persistence than has Belgium in the face of such
crueltes as shame the conscience of modern in
telhgent humanity.

EMPIRE DIsINTEGRATING.

1t would appear that the British have made
such gains in Southern, Palestine that the Turks
are retiring to Jerusalem, their purpose being,
as they now announce to defend it to the last.
! This might mean the destruction OF the city
and the starvation of its non-combatant popula-
| ton; and there is no doubt that tue Turkish
garrison would eventually be forced by famine
! to surrender.
There seems to be no longer any question that
| the Turkish empire is soon to break up. OF its
twenty million inhabitants less than eight mil
lion are classified as Turks because they speak
that language. There are seven million Arabs
and two million Greeks. There were before the
war two million Armenians and about an equal
number of Turkish Notwithstanding
Drnses, HISTORIANS, Maronites and others.
There are also many Jews under Ottoman rule.
All these peoples have been subjected to a
alurderous and remorseless tyranny. The Otto
man empire is radically alien to western civil
aztion. Where Turkish rule has spread, civil
cation has persisted or remained in allegiance.
They have desolated all lands beneath their
rule. From Ararat to the Persian gulf Turkish
greed and misrule have denuded the land, made
wastes of vast territories once the garden spots
of earth. Wherever the Turks have ruled
they have misruled. Their robbery and oppres-
sion have brought industry to standstill and
made the inhabitants the most backward, ignor
ant, unambitious, hopeless and wretched peo-
Piles of earth

ing with keenest interest events in old .Judea,

age was done to the crops as during
the week about six inches of rain
fell ana the fields have been so full
of water that farming was at a stand
still and many cornfields now begin
to be overgrown with weeds. Oats
are looking too good and many fear
they will grow so that they will fall
with their weight. Most Of the corn
was planted, but some were not fin
ished. What corn has been plowed
looks very promising for good crop.
