British Smash Teutof1s'
Dream to Win Egypt

Jerusalem is in the hands Of the
British after having been for virtu-
ally 1900 years in the control Of
the Moslems.
The holy City Of the Christian re-
ngion capitulated TO Gen. AIIenby's
forces, consisting Of British. French
and Italian troops, after it had been
entirely surrounded. and with its
fall seemed swept away the dream
Of the Germans and the Turks Of
driving southwark through Pales-
tine, capturing the Suez canal and
invading Egypt.
Since the recent taking of the
town OF Jaffa on the Mediterranean
sea and the gradual closing i'm on
Jerusalem by the allied forces. the
fall of the ancient city daily had
been anticipated. IL was not the
lack Of strength that prevented it,
capture. but rather the desire Of Gen.
Allenby 70 carry out his plan for en-
velOping the city and forcing its
Capitulation as a frontal attack
would lfave endangered the numer-
Gus sacred places inside the city and
i'm its environs.
Frederick III. Last Ruler.
The capture of Jerusalem 10y the
British forces marks the end, with
two brief interludes. Of more than
1900 years possession of the seat
Of the Christian religion by the Mo-
hammedans. Fc~ 673 years the Holy
City has been i'm indusputed own
ership OF the Turks, the last Chris
tian ruler of Jerusalem being the
German emperor, Frederick H..
whose short-Iived domination last
ed from 1929 to 1244.
Apart from its connection with
the campaign being waged against
Turkey by. the British in Mesopo-
tamia. the fall Of Jerusalem was the
definite collapse Of the long-prO-
tracted efforts of the Turks 70 cap
ture the Suez canal and invade
Egypt. Almost the first move made
10y Turkey after her entrance into
he war was a campaign against
Egypt across the great desert of the
Sinai peninsula. I'm November,
1914 Turkish army variously es-
timated at from 5000 to 100000
men. marched on the Suez canal
and succeeded i'm reaching within
striking distance of the great sarti-
fetal waterway at several points.
For several months bitter fighting
took place. the canal being defend
ed by an Anglo Egyptian army aid

forces.

December of that year definite in
f-rmation showed that the Turks
had been driven back as far as FL

lasted for six months and i'm June.

Stocks OF Provisions.

Kansas City. March 16.-This city
will face the threatened railroad tie
up with diminished stocks of certain
provisions according to dealers here
today. Commission men declared that
the supplies held here were light at
the present time and that seemingly
the only hope for more was that stocks
in transit to the east and other sec
tions might be stopped here. A de-
moralized market condition during the
last week or more was given as one
of the causes. Dealers were making
every arrangement possible to meet
the threatened tieup-

The China of Today.

Altho illiterate in western learning
and weak in western arms, the Chi
nese have a moral training in democ-
racy and individual independence
which gives them a fighting chance
under the most advanced and enlight-
ened forms of western government.
Alone among the people of Asia, they
have no hereditary aristocracy of
blood, privilege or title. The idea
of the equality of man goes to
the roots of Chinese culture. There
is only one class the people re-
vere-the scholars-and it is the
ideal of Chinese life that every boy
of every class and degree shall have
an equal chance to become a scholar
Next to the scholar, the old rule of
popular estimation places the farmer
the producer of food; next to him the
artisan, the man who shapes the ne
cessities OF life with his hands. The
man who sells these products, the
merchant, is below all three. The SOL
der, taker of life. is at the bottom of
the list.-Gardner L. Harding, in

WAR ON AUTO THIEVES
Want City Law Compelling Locks and
Deeds of Transfer.

Kansas City, Mo-. March 16.-Kan-
sas City's auto motor car thief asso-
citation will ask a new city ordinance
which they believe will effectually
check the wave of automobile stealing
that has swept Kansas City for the
past two months.
The association will ask the city
council to order locks attached to
controls, not to the wheels on cars,
under penalty of a fine. This an
nouncement was made here today.
Other suggestions the association
made are as follows:
To station patrolmen at several
roads leading out of the city.
To make it incumbent upon garage
men and filling station operators to
register by number all cars cared for.
To compel registration of bill of
sale with the recorder of deeds for all
motor car transfers.
To lessen the number of paroles
granted motor car thieves
