TURKEY SURE
TO SURRENDER

Boston, Oct. 1.-James L. Barton,
foreign secretary of the American
board of commissioners for foreign
missions, who has lived in Turkey
and is familiar with conditions there,
believes that one may expect any day
now to hear of Turkeys unconditional
surrender to the entente allies.
For two years and more" he said
today, "the Turks themselves have
realized they were on the wrong
side.
The Germans and Turks have
never got on we'll. Repeatedly Ger
man officers have been shot by an
gered Turks while Germans have shot
the Turks
"While the Turks hate the Ger
mans and are ready to throw them
over at the first opportunity, all the
rest of the population of the country
are uncompromisingly anti-German.
Turkeys surrender, in the face of
recent events, is sure to come soon.
When Turkey yields thede is a
strong possibility that all Germans
who have failed to escape will be
shot"

IMPLICIT
HEAVY CASUALTIES

Paris-A German counter-attack
in the vicinity of Apremont, on the
battle front northwest of Verdun,
was successfully beaten back in the
forenoon of today by the Americans.
Otherwise the fighting on the Ameri-
can front was virtually at stand
still.
The broken roads and destroyed
bridges are being repaired in order
that the transport of supplies to the
front may be continued with greater
regularity. There was no change in
the battle line at 2:30 o'clock this at
ternoon when this dispatch was filed
The enemy's casualties continue
heavy under the American artillery
and infantry fire and the operations
of the American tanks. The trench
strength of one company of Germans
is reduced from sixty to eighteen
Another company lost 80 per cent of
its electives.
The enemy on Tuesday was con-
tlnually bringing up reinforcements,
leading to the belief that it is the
intention to endeavor to hold to his
present line, at least temporarily

Elgin Harris Commissioned.-T
friends in Fitzgerald and throughout
Ben Hill county will be interested in
knowing that Elgin L. Harris, a for
mer resident of Fitzgerald, has receiv-
ed his second commission in the last
few months, and has been detailed
for special work on the Santa Te-
resa," one of our large transports
when she is launched in the early fall.
IL, as he is known by hundreds
of close friends writes that life is now
very tame after his fourteen crossings
of the deep blue" and he will be
very happy when he is once more in
the transport service, where he will
have personal opportunity to deal
with the subs. Before receiving this
commission, he was chief electrician
on one of our cruisers, and had the
honor OF safely conveying the first
of Pershing's troops.

fourth LIBERTY LOAN
CAMPAIGN IS AT HAND

The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign,
to give every American an opportunity
to lend to his own government money
to win the war and drive the Hun
back over the Rhine is now at hand.
In every county in the state there is
Liberty Loan committee, composed of
loyal. energetic citizens, who are sub
scribing literally themselves and en-
couraging others to subscribe
It is believed that the task of OBJ
tanning subscriptions will be far cas-
Ter in this loan than in the past, de-
spite the greatly increased quotas
given every zone and county For,
surely the American people have
learned by this time what a Liberty
Loan means, what it will do for the
country and what it will do for the
man, whether he be farmer or mer-
chant or laborer, who saves his mon.
ey and lends 1t, with interest, to
Uncle Sam. There is really no rea.
son why one loyal American should
have to chase another loyal American
all over ten-acre field to ask him
to do his duty.
It Is believed that in this campaign
much greater proportion of citizens
will so voluntarily to the banks or to
the committee and make their sub
scription directly, obtaining a Liberty
Loan button and thus declaring they
have done their duty to their country.
A great many OF our citizens have
registered for the new draft, but they
realize that there is but slight oppor-
tunity OF their services being actually
required in the war; 1t would be an
excellent thing if these men whose
names are now on the roll and who
feel sure Of exemption because of age
or family dependents or disabilities
would consider themselves, even now,
"in the service" and devote whatever
part Of their income they can spare
to lending to their government.
The war is costing the United
States sixty-seven million dollars a
day. 1t Is our war, our war bill, and
1t Is up to us to pay it.

Poetry Best When Read Aloud.

To the average person, poetry never
seems so real nor so beautiful when
read to oneself; it requires an appre-
ciative reader to bring out the
thoughts and preserve the charm of
the rhythm. Stirring stories and
poems are remembered longer when
read aloud, and surely those of us
who were brouht up ON Dickens,
Thackeray and Scott remember best,
not those stories we read by ourselves,
but rather those which We're read
aloud by a loved but lost voice in the
home.

Marvellous Grand Canyon.

Those who have lived with, rather
than glanced at, the Grand Canyon be-
come increasingly moved by it's glories
1t has inspired more literature and
art than all the other scenic places Of
America combined. 1t is the center of
a steadily increasing pilgrimage of
painters. 1t perhaps may be said that
the Grand Canyon and the region of
which it is the climax inspire the high
est as well as certainly the most ex-
tensive expression of landscape art in
America today.
