A SEPARATE PEACE MAY
BE FORCED ON TURKEY

way, supplying northern Mesopota-
mia, would fall a prize to the British
armies. simultaneously, the Turkish
armies in Palestine would be forced
to surrender because all Of their sup
plies are received by way of Tleppo.
A catastrophe of this magnitude
would be the severest blow that could
be inflicted upon the Pan-Germans
Their major ambition is to dominate
in future years the entire area now
being won by the British Mesopota-
mian troops. Rather than see the
total collapse of the Turks and the
capture of the Bagdad railway by
Great Britain, the kaiser might well
advise the sultan to surrender in the
hope that a part at least of the terri
tory could be saved for future Ger
man exploitation.
The British advance toward Mosul
and Eleppo is being made principally
by Sundian troops. The soldiers have
not proven good material for the
'nerve-racking trench warfare in
Western Europe. Their use against
the Turks, therefore, does not de.
crease the strength of the allies along
the west front at this critical time.

Hindenburg's Staggering, Stupendous
Failure Greatest Since Battle of Marne

(FOr the United Press by Mason.)
New York, May g. -Hindenburg is
staggering before the most stupen-
dous German failure since the battle
of the Marne.
General Foeh's enticements Of
death are proving more terrible than
even the kaiser can pay for.
The slaughter of German man pow
er by order of the German high com
mand has come to an abrupt end; but
renewal Of the painting effort to
break through the allied lines is in
evitable. The victorious German
spirit, however, has been extinguish-
ed, and Won Hindenburg can no longer
progress except at an even more
CHASTITY cost than he previously paid.
The moral effect of the allies sue
cessful stand before the last defenses
of Ypres is enormous. After having
won the most difficult parts Of the
approach to Ypres, the Germans have
been halted practically on the sum-
mits Of the hills they paid so dearly
to capture. The collapse Of Won Hin
denburg's offensive under the cir
Icumstances demonstrates conclusive

RAID ON NEW YORK, THREAT
MADE TO KAISER'S DENTIST
Dr. N DAVIS Says Officers Boased Of Machines Which COulC
Fly to America and of New Deadly Gas-Addresses
Loan Rally.

Crown Prince have never appeared to-
gether in public. DR.. Davis said, lest
an assassination might deprive Ger
many of both of them at once.
The dentist said he knew that the
Kaiser wanted to start this war over
the Moroccan trouble in 1905, and
tried again to work up war in 1911.
So he gladly seized the Serbian epi-
sode in 1914 as an excuse.
What Enemy Understands.
Germany has no sense Of honor.
The only thing she can understand is
force, and it is up to us to apply to
her all the force we can summon" "
DIR. Davis continued.
"I'd advise the United States to
send all its pro-German sympathizers
back to Germany, and in three days,
under present conditions, they'd be
begging to return and become patri-
otic Americans. The conditions in
Germany are terrible. They are us
ing substitutes for bread, eggs and
coffee.
"They have made one of the grav-
est mistakes in not analyzing our
psychology. Some of them really be-
llieved that we would seize Mexico and
Canada at the beginning of the war,
instead of coming in on the side of
the Entente. They do not realize
that the more they attempt to terror
ize and harass us the harder we'll fight
them"
It was an enthusiastic Loan Rally,
Twenty of the "Blue Devils" here
from Foch's army marched in while
lLucien Muratore Of the Chicago
Opera Company sang "The Marseilll-
aise."
Former Ambassador James W. Ge-
rard told the audience what it would
mean if the Germans got here, while
Martin w. Littleton made stirring
address. Sergt. Empey and Joseph

New York, May 2.-"High officials
Of the German Army boasted to me
at Grand Headquarters that their
chemists had discovered a new and
terribly deadly gas, with which they
expected to kill million people in
the City of London.
"This gas, to be dropped from
bombs carried by huge airplanes, each
equipped with six motors, would pen

'These same high officials boasted
to me that the airplanes Of which

Regarding Married Men Who

Their Families-Says
THEY SHOULD FIGHT

Washington Aug. 19.-No general
extension of hte draft to married men
is contemplated, but simply a basis
for the status of married men is con-
templated by the war department,
declares Secretary Baker before the
military committee of the House to-
day. He said that he was making
this explanation because it was ew-
dent that his previous remarks on
the subject had been in a degree mis-
understood. What he meant to say
was there are great many men in
this country who do not support their
families and are not at work. These
are the men he intended to reach and
he thought these had just as muc'-
right to fight as the single men.

The memorial services in the

afternoon were singuarly impressive
and touching,
The community met together to
honor their dead in the church of the
family and listened to eloquent and
just tributes paid to a most worthy
young man who led life of indus
try and was devoted to every trust
reposted in him. Reference to his
devotion to his parents to his broth
ers and sisters and regard for his
friends and the splendid disposition
of the young man who was ever kind
and generous were dwelt upon for
every liked u. B." as he was af-
fectionately called and familiarly
known.
The church was crowded despite
the inclemency of the weather and
copious tears were shed for all felt
they were bereaved. Col. Bruton in
his address dwelt upon the fact that
this war was bringing together our
people as nothing else could for we
were learning that in sorrow the
heart seeks sympathy and finds it
with others that mourn. Our coun-
try needed every ounce of our en-
ergy and our resouce and we needed
the support of each other for it was
common grief, common cause.
This sentiment found a hearty re-
sponse in the words Of Elder J. F.
Farmer who conducted the services
and introduced the speakers. He
referred to the great and good men,
fathers Of the country who had
passed away. Men of different
churches who had contributed so
much to the building of Wilson and
laid here a foundation for future
greatness upon which their children
had bu1ided.
He said that j. B. was named for
General Joshua Barnes who had done
more probably for this county and
this community than any other. He
gave what he could and now his
namesake CorporalSJ. B. Farmer had
made the supreme sacrifice.
The services were opened with the
hymn America Mr.. H. D. Brown
leading the singing. Then followed
