Washington-Turkey has informed
the United States through the Swed-

facts of the seizure Of the American
consulate and sacking Of an American
hospital at Tabriz, Persia, by Turkish
soldiers, have not been ascertsined,
but that II will be done at the earliest
possible moment.
Through Spanish and Swedish dip
lomats the United States asked for an
explanation OF this incident, which, II
regular Ottoman troops were involved,
might mean a declaration of war.
The attack vas reported June 10 by
the Spanish consul.
Minister Morris at Stockholm re-
ports that the foreign Office had in
formed him the inquiry of the United
States did not reach the Ottoman gov
eminent until July s. Then the mat.

come in the form of the statement
that an investigation is proceeding.
II is assumed that the Turkish gov.
eminent is having great difficulties In
communicating with its forces in Per

WOMEN FARMING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Success Has Followed All Their
Efforts.

On the train from Edmonton to Win.
nipeg the writer took a seat beside a
soldier who had returned from the
'front.'. On his breast he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was armless, and on
his left cheek he bore a scav that he
would carry TO his grave. He had
served his country faithfully and well.
At the first call for soldiers In August,
1914. he FASTENED to the recruiting
office, leaving his 320-acre farm. with
its crop ready for harvest, q full
equipment Of farm implements, plenty
Of horses. and n wife. The wife should
not be last on the list for she proved
the master of the situation, and 10y
ally took hold OF the question Of pro.
duction, while her husband was on his
way to fight the Hun. And she sue
ceeded, In 1915 she succeeded, and
again in 1916, and when her husband
returned In 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed, the Indebtedness OF the farm
paid Off. a considerable addition to the
stock, and the land ready for n 1917
crop. This was the story told by the
soldier, and wasn't he n proud man
He was now ready to do what he could
to keep UP the period OF prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women OF Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
OF the Oak Lake district, Manitoba.
are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward, who, for the past fourteen years.
have farmed their own land, doing all
the regular work on the farm, such as
blowing, seeding, summer following
and reaping. They have been espe-
cially successful with stock. and have
a splendid herd of shorthorns. both
%purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased a new
purebred stock bull for $700. Their
herd was last year increased by %
calves.
Miss II. NJ. Hillman OF Keller. Sas-
katchewan, Is another successful
woman farmer. She has gone In ex-
t"nslvely for grain growing, and farms
1,120 acres. She also owns some OF
the finest Percheron horses In Sas-
katchewan.
The prairie now boasts of many
women who have had more or less sue
