be that some one Is putting in a hand full of glass in an occasional batch of canned vegetables. It would then get in few dozen cans that would prob ably be distributed all over the United States, some going to New England and some to the Pacific coast. If this is discovered then all the canned goods from the same factory would be destroyed and an alien enemy would have done considerable toward shortening the food supply.
 T would probably have to go through all the cans at Camp Pike to find one with glass in it. The simplest way of discovering the presence of glass is to strain the liquor from can of vegetables and then permit it to settle, then evaporate 1t with chlor~ oform, leaving the glass in the bottom of the vessel

SAYS TURKEY NO
LONGER A FACTOR

Berne, Switzerland, Feb. 9.-Ke-
NAL Midhat Bey, grandson OF the for
mer Turkish Grand vizier, Midhat Pa
sha, 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
Inent to make a separate peace; to
unite and reconcile the various ma.
tionalities which make UP the Ottoman
Empire, and to modernize Turkey"
In a statement to the press, Kermal
says; Turkey has reached the end
of it's tether. The capture of Jerusa'
lem has probably proved the finishing
blow. My latest reports fro mConstan-
tinople emphasize the tremendous i'm
preston made by the capture of Je-
rusalem. But the stop the war move
ment in Constantinople derives it's prin
cipal impetus from the economic mis-
cries of the people rather than from
any dismay at the dwindling of Turk
ish power and prestige. The terrible
conditions of the poorer classes can
not easily be exaggerated.
"The disorganization of the army is
another factor. The number of Turk
ish deserters in Asia Minor is now ov-
Ell 900. The Turk deserts not be-
cause he is afraid, but because his
eyes have been opened to the real or
igin of the war and the futility of
it The aim of our organi-
zation 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"

War and Americanization

From Making Real Americans" by H.
 H. Wheaton, in the American Reylew
 of Reviews.
 The war has brought AmericaniGatton before the country in ways never dreann- ed of heretofore. Back of the fighting line in France must be at all times d united country National unity Is the tn- ternal line of defense and is indispen- able to success in the war Americanis zation in it's large sense is the process whereby national unity is to be achiev- ed It, Is the evolution of people-the makin of "one from manyr-E PluribuS Unum"
 Before the war we were as Ameri- cans sanguine about our capacity to as- simulate one million immigrants year, But the worlds crisis trying the souls of men and testing the fabric of nations has shown us deficiences. The truth be~ gan to come home when 1t was found that 1,a43,S0i alien males were register- ed under the selective draft law and could claim exemption from military service. Yet we are fighting for the safety and preservation of the native countries from which many of the aliens came 1t seems a curious irony that Americans-native born-coufd be com~ pelled to fight in behalf of the very countries from which these aliens came, while under the existing treaties we could not compel them to fight with us. for the safety of their own native couJ<< tries or of the country in which uley now have elected to make their living.
