THE TURKS SURRENDER.
BY Theodore Roosevelt.


Copyright, 1918, Kansas City star.
The British have beaten Turkey
to her knees and she has surrendered
Internationally. Americans had no
share in the honor Of what has been
done. President wilson, altho we
were at war with Germany, has re-
fused to aid our Allies against Tur-
key and has preserved the same cold
neutrality between the Armenians
and their Turkish butchers that he
formerly did between the Belgians
and their German oppressors.
Turkey has inflicted inhuman
wrongs on the subject peoples and
had infringed .on our /own treaty
rights, but President Wilson refused
to go to war with her. Yet with our
navy, at the very outbreak of hos
tilities and then, with a considerable
and constantly growing army, If we
had been willing we could have ma
terially aided the British and French.
In such event Constantinople would
doubtless have been taken long ago.
AS il is, thanks to President Wilson.
we Americans can only look on and
rejoice that others did better than
our rulers let us do. We have had
no hand in the freeing of Palestine,
Syria and Armenia. Under the great
law of service and sacrifice. 1t is the
British and French alone who have
the moral right to determine the fate
of Turkey. They. and especially the
have poured out their blood |
freely. and now, after the victory has /!
been gained, expenditure of ink on
our part is of mighty little conse- /
quence in comparison.
I earnestly hope that permanent /
Justice will be done by expelling the
Turks from Europe and making all
Armenia independent.
But we have lost the right to in
'ist on these points. The beginning
If the end came when two or three
weeks ago Bulgaria was forced to
surrender Internationally. Here
again, thanks to President Wilson,
America had no part in the honor
md credit of the vital triumph.
Our government was still neutral
bout Bulgaria. still too proud to
light either Turkey or Bulgaria, still
topping for peace without victory over
hem. !
Now Turkey has surrendered and
Austria has broken up. In the case ,
# Austria, after ten months unpar-
Ionable delay, we did finally go to
var, and we have a very small share /
II the great glory won by Italy and ;
he other Allies. 1
The greatest contest was on the I
Western front, and here the hun
reds of thousands of American
roops engaged under FOch and Per- ,
hing have shown such extraordinary !
and efficiency that we are I
IL forever their debtors. Nearly a
month ago President Wilson entered
nto negotiations with Germany |
which if continued along the line
e started. might have caused disas-
err. Fortunately there was such an
of protest in the country {
hat our Allies took part and Presi '
ent Wilson himself took warning. 9
President Wilson himself may still Z
erve as a channel of communication
ut General Foch will be the real |
laster of the situation. The men |
18th guns and not the men with {
Duntain pens will dictate the terms.

Those nRouohten Ruttons.n

Writing of the poet Whittier, Mrs. James T. Fields says that "one of the poets most entertaining "reminiscences of his boyhood was the story of his first visit to Boston. William Greene's mother was an interesting woman of strong, independent character and wide interests, wonted to the life of cities, and one of the first, in spite of his boyish shyness to appreciate her young relative. Her kind eagerness, during one of her occasional visits to the Whittiers,- that Greenleaf should come to see her when he came to Bos- ton, fell in with his own dreams, and high desire to see the sights of the great town.
 "One can easily imagine how this imagination must have glorified the natural expectations of country boy, and when the time arrived, how the whole household lent itself to further

ROOKIE AToNED FOR FAJi.g
Call It "Fisherman's Luck" if You Will, He Came Out of Seraps
 With Coveted Decoration.

At Ak strange story was told of an American soldier who will probably abandon fishing for the rest of his life. It seems that the rookie had heard it said that one could readily catch fish with a hand grenade, the method being to proceed to- the lair of the fish and hurI the hand grenade into the water The grenade, explod- ing, would kill all the fish in the neighborhood, and one could gather in a plentiful harvest. So our hero set forth one evening and, reaching a not far distant canal, he threw in his hand grenade. No doubt 1t killed fish or so, but, unfortunately, so intent was he on his job that he had not noticed a barge hard by. The grenade nearly blew the barge and the bargee and his family out of France, and did such mighty damage to boat and boat men that, although for the moment flight enabled the culprit to escape arrest, it was quite clear that, when discovered, as heOwould inevitably be, he would suffer very severe punish ment. It cannot be permitted to blow French barges up with impunity. A -court-martiaI and death were the least that the wretch expected. That night there was an attack on the American sector. Our man went over the top a desperate rookie. He had deter mined to die a glorious death rather than submit to a shameful end. The killed seven Germans, and, seizfng q machine gun, turned it on the enemy, thereby saving a ticklish situation. Picking up the machine gun, after it had done sufficient damage, he car ried it back toward his own line, but, en route, he fell into German trench and on top of a German postman. This postman was laden with mail for the regiment or company busted from the trench; cigars and other deiicactes were among his burdens. As the off cer who told the story said, the rookie murdered the postman and, seizing several bags of mail, bore them, in ad- dition to his machine gun, back to his own people. His record for the days work was not only deemed sufficient to condone for his fishing escap2de, but to his astonishment he received a medal for distinguished conduct in the field. He was decorated!

CHRISTIANS MAY
 SUPPORT zIONISM
Head of Greek. Church En- dorses Movement For
 Jewish State.

Porphyrics II, Archbishop of St. Sinai, from his seat in Jerusalem, has issued an appeal to all the members of the Greek Orthodox Church in Syria, Palestine, and the world over to support with all their heart the aspirations of >the Jews, and to work harmoniously with the Zionists in the realization of the Zionist aim. The following letter has been written by him in his official capacity as head of the Greek Church and community in Palestine, to Dr. Chaim Weixmann, President of the Zionist Commission tc Palestine:
 "We, who belong to the Hellenic lstock, sympathize with the aspira- tions of the Jewish people in regard to the settlement of Palestine We think that no claim could be more Justified than this. The Jews, as the bearers of modern civilization, and as one of the most enlightened peoples of the world, will not only bring all their innate capacities to bear upon the development of this country which has been desolated by Turkish nlisrule, but will instA in the poverty oll 4ShSIl 4LlldbIIdillS SplI1l. Ol- pro-
 gress and emulation, and in the course of time Palestine will again become land flowing with milk and honey. and will realize sthe biblical prophecies and promises. Hence, as a Greek, a Christian, and as Arch 1 bishop of Mount Sinai, the mountain ! of the Ten Commandments, I support
 with all my heart the aspirations of i the Jews, who. when all is said have
 a right to settle in the land of their fathers, which I pray may hence forth become the land of their birth, i thanks to the initiative and chivalrous protection of the great and liberal British Empire. We Christians owe
 much to Judaism, for it's Bible is our
 Bible, and we ought to forget the mutual grievances which have their
 root in the perversity of human na-
 ture. On this holy city Christianity
 Islam and Judaism should hold out , the hand to one another in perfect ] harmony. This is the service of the God whom we all worship. We are 1 all brethren in the spirit of the verse
 which says Thou shalt love thy
 neighbor as thyself,' and of the say ing The Kinsman is he who does i loving kindness'.''

Burning Balloons Don't Explode.

A balloon when it commences to burn does not explode, as a great many people seem to think. An .incendiary or tracer bullet, when it hits the bal loon, goes through 1t, making two holes, of course. As the bullet is fam ing, being filled with magnesium compound, it ignites the hydrogen where it escapes at these two holes. Hydrogen, or in fact anything, can burn only when it combines with oxy- gen. and as the hydrogen escapes at the bullet holes it combines with the oxygen in the air, and burns like two gas jets. The holes enlarge as the fabric is burned away and the flames grow larger until the whole balloon be- comes one mass of flame. AS soon as enough hydrogen has escaped to make the weight of the balloon greater than the weight of an equal volume of air the balloon starts to drop to the ground.-Lieut. H. K. Black. R. F. C., in the Saturday Evening Post.

cts Uranuse and Neptune are both modern discoveries. Saturn eX- ceeds in interest and beauty both his larger and smaller brothers, because of the rings, which he alone pos sesses. Of course it requires tele- scope, though not powerful one, to see the rings, and the view then un- folded to us is unsurpassable.
 One sees a great gleaming ball sur rounded by a bright ring, elliptic in shape. The ring is very nearly cir cular, but we are looking at it more or less edgewise On a good night we soon make out the dark spaces be- tween the ring and the body of the planet, where we are looking through, between them, to the black back ground of the heavens. Perhaps we can make out also a dark line on the surface of the ring, marking the dividing space between the two outer rings which at first appear to con- stitute only one. Within these rings there is still third ring, called the "gauze" ring, not visible in small telescopes because of the extreme. at tenuation of the matter which com poses it.
 The rings were first seen by Gal ileo in 1910, but he did not recognize them as such. He thought they were appendages on either side of the planet and was unable to understand or explain them. In 1855 Huyghens recognized their true nature and pub i lished his discovery in the form of l l.i I7ad q nF | been confirmed with the more pow erful telescope which astronomers soon obtained, he would never have ! given the solution of his riddle and thus would have saved himself from ridicule.
 l The third ring was not discovered until 1850, at which time the na- ture of the rings was subject of much discussion. The mathematt- clan Maxwell showed theoretically that the gravitational conditions re- | quired that the rings be composed of small discrete masses and could not be either a continuous solid or liuuld. This was actually proven to be the case by means of the spec troscope in the hands of Keeler, an American, who showed that the in
 side edge of the rings moved with greater velocity than the outer edge
 which puts out of the question a sol
 i'd, rigid ring.

 an opportunity for the observation o1
 Mercury. Enthusiastic astronomers
