Victory in Palestine.

British success in Palestine can
hardly be said to have a bearing upon
the military situation in Europe, yet
in this war every move is related to
every other, in the matter Of man
power. The defeat of the Turks north
of Jerusalem, with the capture of near
ly 10000 men and much material, is a
blow to the central powers which may
eventually cause a serious weakening
of their position in the nearer east and
thus, by reaction, their west front
lines.
The campaign in Palestine was un-
dertaken primarily as a means of pro-
tecting the suez canal, which was seri-
ously menaced by the Turks early in
the war. Later, in conjunction with
the Mesopotamia advance, it was con-
tinued in order to keep the Turks busy
in that quarter and prevent their en-
ployment in Macedonia. That purpose
has been fully accomplished. Turkish
troops have played little or no part
in the European campaign. But now a
more important possibility is open to
the allies through the successive de.
feats Of the Turks both in Mesopota-
mia and in Palestine. Gradually they
are being thrust northward, their ranks
thinned seriously with every encounter,
their materials captured, their morale
lowered. It is not impossible that they
will be forced to sue for eace, lest
the allies advance to the very gates of
Constantinople from the east.
Nazareth, the capture of which is
now announced, is long way from
Constantinople. But if the Turkish
army is as badly beaten in that quar-
ter as the reports indicate, there is rea-
son to look for considerable advances
along the coast of Syria. Every step
forward is calculated to demoralize the
enemy. No aid can now be expected
by the Turks from Germany or Aus
tria- They must fight alone, and as
they are successfully driven from the
region of their long maintained rule
they must feel Encouragement.
Politically these eastern moves are
in that they strengthen the
grip of the British upon the territory
upon which Germany has laid covetous
eyes. Gone is the hope Of the Berlin
to- -Bagdad railway. The gate to India
is barred.

right, ~ Mr.. Simmons il, True, there
are two parties in PennsvlEsnis. But
the democratic patty Of the KeEstane
state is, as . rule. e ineonsequentisl
as the republican party of the Old
North state, and gives Mr.. Peurose
small concern. Whenever q candidate,
he has had an easy time. Some Of his
majorities have been of enormous size.
These two men will lead in the com
mittee work on the House bill, and,
later, in the Senate debate after the
committee has revised the bill and re-
ported. On the tariff question they
are at antipodes, Mr.. Simmons being
an anti-protectionist, and Mr.. Penrose
a protectionist of the stalwart school.
What their differences may be on this
purely revenue bill, which is under
consideration as war measure, Will
appear later. Both are supporting the
war, and conscious of the fact that the
war game is exceedingly expensive,
and that money in quantities must be
provided to play. it..

The Senate Finance Committee.

The Senate Finance Committee.
Chairman Simmons is quoted as say
ing that the Senate finance committee
will spend at least three weeks revis-
ing the House revenue measure.
1t viii be lucky if it completes the
task in that time. There are many
questions involved. Some are of .
business, some of q constitutional,
character. The business man, the
economist and the lawyer, AL find the
measure Of kssn interest. They would
be glad to see important changes made
in it. The committee has their views,
and, of course, will consider them at
its sittings. 49,.
While many senators, for personal
reasons, are keeping an anxious eye on
the congressional campaigns, Mr.. Sim
mons at the head of the majority, and
Mr.. Penrose at the head Of the minor
ity, Of the finance committee are free
from nefseaal soassm eHthatscors.

This cannot refer ta tAe N1x. heeaase
the republicans of Kentucky srs sup-
porting the Ear p leyallF g the dano-
Gratis. Their candidate for anataF is
as outspoken on the subject of hes
tilities IS his opponent. On all war
matters the republicans and their can,
didate may claim inclusion among the
administrations "real friends" They
are for the fight to . finish, and for
voting all the supplies necessary to
that accomplishment.
What the President wants is the
election Of the candidate Of his own
political faith. Political matters are
constantly coming up in the Senate;
and their number will increase in the
next eighteen months-the time to
elapse before the next presidential
campaign begins to take shape. A
democratic senator would be at the
Presidents service in political as well
as war matters, whereas = republican
senator would cooperate only on Wat
matters. The proposition, therefore, is
purely and entirely political.
Invoking the Presidents aid in .
state normally democratic grows out
of factionism which has plagued the
local democracy for some years. Gov.
Stanley, the democratic candidate for
senator, was elected to his present Of
fee three years ago by only few hun
dred majority, when thirty thousand
had been expected. Faetionism came
within an ace of shelving him. True,
both factions are pledging him support
now. But as the times are so greatly
disturbed, and everything is so uncer-
tain, the democratic leaders seem to
have thought it advisable to introduce
into the campaign their very strongest
party influence, the President; and be
readily responded to their request.

More Gasoline Saved.


Yesterday the request Of the fuel ad-
mmidrator~ that no gasoline be used
for pleasure motoring was again gener-
ally observed. The streets and roads,
usually thronged with autos, we're al
most deserted. Motor cars were so
few that they were Immediately no.
ticed and speculation arose as to the
errands of those who drove them. A
feeling of indignation prevailed against
those who thus appeared to be disre-
garding the request. Every person
who drove a ear yesterday did 50,
doubtless, in = spirit Of apology.
It has been noticed that since Che
gasoline request was published motors
have appeared on Sunday driven BY
men in uniform. Some of them were
in evidence yesterday. A generator
der, it is understood, has been issued
forbiddiRg such use Of gasoline, save
on urgent public business. It is to be
hoped that it win be more generally
obeyed than in the past. For the ap-
pearance of motors on Sunday, filled
with men in uniform, cannot fail to
create . decidedly bad impression in
the public mind. The officers in the
service should be most serupulous to
set an example to the people in the
observance of a request which is de-
signed to maintain the supply of one
of the essential materials Of war.

Unanimous National Sentiment.

-DuI1uS tue pdSk VEGA the StAtlmSAt
of the American people in respect to
peace has been decidedly crystallized,
asa result Of the Austrian offer of an
indeterminate conference and the
Presidents emphatic and speedy deeii-
nation. On every side is heard express
sion of the demand for a victorious
conclusion of the war, peace through
the defeat of the enemy. Orgsniza-
tions that met during the week went
ON record to this effect. With prac-
tieally no exception the press of the
country voiced the peoples determina-
tion to prosecute the war to the end
of Germany's subjection to terms max
ieg for dependable peace, based on
reparations for the terrible wrongs
committed.
Austria's proposal thus served most
valuable purpose. It. came at psyche
logical moment. Recent successes in
the field have caused the people of this
country to feel that the enemy is not
invincible. More than two months of
unvarying victory have brought about
q feeling of complete confidence in the
ultimate triumph of our arms. There
is no doubt in the public mind, though
it is recognized that the way to peace
viii lie through sacrifice and suffering
The effect Of the past week is to
fortify the American people against
future peace drives by the enemy.
There win undoubtedly be efforts to
seduce US into compromise, to inveigle
US into negotiations. Beaten in the
field, Germany will try to win through
diplomacy and intrigue. But with the
example of Russia so glaringly demon
strative of the utter treachery of the
enemy and with the armies of the foe
steadily weakening in the field, and
our own swelling weekly to formidable
proportions, there is no occasion to
pause in the war work, no reason nov
to doubt the stout-hearted determine
tion, of the nation to pursue this pur-
pose to theconclusion.
Peace through victory is now the un-
broken cry Of the people of the United
States. The voices Of those who have
suggested arrangements" have been
overwhelmed in the mighty shout of
rejection that arose from the country
when the Austrian suggestion was
heard. Aud the most valuable effect
Of the incident is that those who spoke
for acceptance are now eagerly essay
fag to correct the impression that they
stood for indeterminate peace. For it
is uniyszsally recognized that there
can be no peace-sass through the de-
feat Of the-enemy on4fhe field Of bat

4,gotiation is speaking in the interest

Canning and Preserving.

Old-Time Raspberry Jam-Gnly
the berries are necessary for this
recipe, as sugar is not added until
pared for the table.
After crushing slightly, put the
berries over the fire and cook them
in their own juice (use no water)
until the seeds are thoroughly done.
They can then be put into any kind
of jars without sealing. Place par
atm or a piece of white paper or
cloth down close over the berries;
also a tight cover to keep out the
dust.
In the Olden days a good stout
cloth was tied tightly over each jar,
but the very best thing for berries
prepared in this manner is large
moUthed jug which can be tightly
COrked.
When the berries are taken out
simply add hot water to thin them
to the right consistency for the ia
BILE, sweetened to taste The water
restores the bright red color.
Cheese Salad-One cup Ameri-
can or cream cheese, two table
spoons vinegar, one-third cup oil,
one-haIf teaspoon salt, one-eighth
teaspoon cayenne, two tablespoons
chopped olives, two tablespoons
chopped nuts.
Blend all ingredients thoroughly.
Shape as desired and chill. Serve
with French dressing.
If American cheese Is used CRATE
