turkey 1t End Of Its
Resources, Must Break
German Ties, Says Renal

Berne, Switzerland. Feb. s.-Kemal
Midhat Bey. grandson Of the former
Turkish grand vizier. Midhat Pasha,
is in Switzerland organizing a society
known as the Turkish League Of
Peace and Liberty" the objects OF
which are stated as follows:
ITO persuade the Turkish govern
ment TO make a separate peace. TO
unite and reconcile the various ma
tionalities which make up the Otto
man empire, and to moderntze Tur-
key"
In a statement TO the press. Renal
says: Turkey has reached the end
OF its tether The capture Of Jerusa-
lem has probably proved the finishing
blow. Ny latest reports from Con-
stantInople emphasize the tremen-
dous impression made by the capture
OF Jerusalem. But the stop the war
movement in Constantinople derives
its principal impetus from the eco
nomic miseries of the people rather
than from any dismay AT the dwind-
ling OF Turkish power and prestige
The terrible conditions of the poorer
classes cannon easily be exaggerated.
The Reorganization Of the army
is another factor. The number OF
Turkish deserters In Asia Minor Is
now over 100000 The Turk deserts
not because he is afraid. but because
his eyes have been opened to the real
origin of the war and the futility OF
continuing It The aim Of our organ
ization is not merely to get Turkey
away from alliance with the Germans.
but TO get Turkey into the war on
the side Of the entente"

London Receioes Only
Poorest Craze of Meat

London. Eng, Feb. Is.-The best
meat is being disposed of in the
country and the worst Is coming to
London. This is the view OF wholesale
and retail butchers.
The meat industry in the metropo-
lis has never been in a more unsatis-
factory condition" SAID a prominent
Lonuoner. London receives the
refuse OF the country's beef and NUT
ton-old bulls, old COWS. old ewes
The trouble began when the farm
ers were induced by high prices to
sell the pick of their bree4ing stock.
Most Of the prime beef that is left is
being sold in the country. Formerly
the townsmen were able to pay higher
prices, and could command the best
supplies. The farmer can sell his
live stock at fancy prices, whereas
the butcher has to sell at a fixed
price after paying the carriage on the
meat TO Lonoon. Ii this stress con-
tinues many OF the retail butchers will
have to put up their shutters"
