HUNS LOOTING ASIA WHILE

London. England, July es.-Germany

They reach Germany by a tempo
rary trade route across the Caspian
Sea and through Ukrainia-
That's why the allies want to re-
construct the Eastern front, at least
sufficiently to shut of Germany from

Allies to Cut Lines.
The allied job is to cut the supply
line before 1t is developed by Ger
man efficiency.
Little grain Is reaching Germany
from or through Russia. because
there Is little to be shipped.
But sheep can walk. And German
agents in Turkestan and Bokhara are
buying millions of sheep in-herds,
which are taken by train or driven
to the port of Krasnovodsk. on the
Caspian, then transported across the
Caspian to the Russian or Persian
shores and driven on to points where
they can be shipped by railroad.
Famine Probable.
1t is proper to speak of these Ger
man purchases as loot" because
the Asiatic shepherds cannot buy
food with the German gold which
they get for their sheep and wool
Famine is likely to follow in central
Asia.

- Replying to a statement by John
Dillon. in which the foregoing senti-

No OmcfaI Word Here.


The State Department up to a late
hour last night had received no on
cial confirmation Of the reported sew
erance Of relations between Germany
and Turkey. Acting Secretary Polk
said no messages had come to the de-
partment to give even partial confir-
nation to the rumored break.
Inquiry among the principal embas-
sizes also failed to disclose any AMIR
native knowledge respecting the rela-
lions between the two governments,
although there were many specula-
tons as to developments in the Bal
kan situation which might make such
break probable.
State Department ofi1cials pointed
out that even IL the report were true
immediate confirmation might be Diff
cult. This is due chiefly to the fact
that Turkey Is not representated in
this country by any diplomatic corps
and none Of the embassies Of the
other foreign governments n qualifi-
ed to act for her. In some minor
matters Turkish affairs are looked
after by the Spanish Embassy. but no
word regarding the rumored break
had been received at the Spanish En-
bassy last night.
Credence Given.
Close observers of the Balkan situa-
ton were inclined to give credence to
the rumor because 1t indicated TO
them the only possible step which
Germany could take to extricate her
self from a situation imperilling her
ally, Austria. The recent advance Of
the allied forces in the direction Of
Durazzo has become so threatening
to Bulgaria that students Of the Bal
kan problem have been momentarily
expecting some action by Bulgaria
that might cause her to weaken in
her support OF the Central Powers
and desert to the allies.
The reasons for this are very clear.
Bulgaria and Turkey, although Joined
in common cause with the Central
Powers, are quarreling between
themselves over a division Of the Bal
kan territory. Bulgaria's heart has
never been in the war with her Teu-
tonic allies, and 1t has only been by
the use OF the sternest measures
that Germany has been able to keep
Bulgaria in line.
Opens Door Fer Attack.
The withdrawal of Bulgaria from
the Teutonic cause would open the
back door of Austria to a concerted
attack by the Italian. French. Ser
bian and Montenegrin forces now
battling on the Salonica to Durazzo
line. This would be fatal to the
German cause
For this reason. II is explained by
close students of the situation, IL
the break between Germany and
Turkey has come, IL has been be-
cause Germany thought 1t more ad-
yisable to throw the Turkish cause
to the winds than to run the risk of
losing the help of Bulgaria.

influenza were raised. This cheerful
submission to law and order is the
best and most logical argument to
array against anarchy or bolshevism

Every Elk worthy of the name

when he ceases to be such he should
withdraw from the order.
Manhood and patriotism has al
ways been exemplifed by our army

man. and for the protection of our
institutions and to make the world

In the days of Lycurgus, there
