The surrender Of Turkey has been regarded as in
evitable ever since the withdrawal of Bulgaria from
the war. The alliance Of these two minor powers with
Germany and Austria-H Hungary placed Germany in
control Of all Of central Europe and Of territory

short and direct and in order to prevent the reaza

sway from the Nortsea and the Baltic to the Indian
ocean, it necessary for the Allies conduct cam
pagns at widely separated points, communication be-
tween which, for them, was difficult, and in some cases
impossible. In order to break the chain campaigns
have been carried on t the Balkan district on the Gal
lpol peninsula, where futile effort was made to open
the Dardanelles in Mesopotarnia and in Palestine.
The Galipoi expedition failed. The Balkan campaign
resulted in the elimination of Bulgaria and the separa-
ton of Turkey from direct communication with her
allies, The Mesopotan1ian campaign shattered the
prestige Of Turkey in the east and cut off large seq

The commission suggested that a
more scientific method Of providing
added revenue for the express com
pany would be to change the contract
with the railroad administration to
give the express company larger
proportion Of transportation charges.
In view of this suggestion it is
probable that the railroad administra-

Machine Guns Do Little Harm.
With the American Army North
west OF Verdun, Oct. 26.-The Ameri-
can position In the wood is such that
the Germans no longer are able to
harass the Americans with machine
gun fire from the ridge at the edge Of
the wood.
In the center Of the line, west Of the
Meuse, the German artillery is bonn
harding the American lines heavily
with high explosives and gas shells.
On the right the enemy made an
unsuccessful counter attack during
the night. From 2 to 6 o'clock this
morning they shelled the American
lines there heavily, the bombardrnent
barrage but there was no further in
fantry action.
!, One new division and one new reg
iment have been identified as having
been. added to the German strength
against the Americans. The division
is a second class one which is reputed
to have Travelled more than any other
in the German army. 1t has been sue
cessively on the eastern front. the
Italian front, on the somme and be-
fore st. Mihiel. The regiment belongs
to the crack 28th German division.
Desperate Fighting.
Violent enemy, reactions continue
east of, the Meuse and there has been
desperate fighting all along the line.
The American position runs thru the
clearing between Belleu wood and the
Etraye wood. The enemy's determina-
ton to hold the high ground east of
the river is shown by the fact that he
has thrown in one of his last remain
ing reserve divisions to check the
American advance in the Belleu wood
where the enemy is counter attacking
persistently.
The following document has been
captured:
"The enemy's crossing OF the Meuse
is to be prevented absolutely. Should
he succeed in crossing he is to be
thrown back into the Meuse at once
The enemy must not get ;foothold
on this side of the Meuse under any
The last three words are capitaliE-
Not only in a defensive way. but by
counter attacks the Germans are
fighting desperately to carry out this
order. This is shown by the futile at
tacks made Friday in the region south
Of the Bantheville wood, north Of
Rappes wood and in the valley north
OF Batheville..

now under way from Valenciennes to

the task Of driving back the enemy
on the Meuse line.
Although the recent fghting has
been marked by no sensational devel-

effect which, apart from the ground
gained. adds considerably to the vast
age Of men and material wits which
the Germans must reckon In the
