In the Holy Land.

The section OF the Holy Land north
Of Jerusalem extending from the
shores Of the Mediterranean to the
banks of the Jordan, the scene of
General Allenby's great victory over
the Turks, has been battle-ground
since the dawn Of history.
On this ground Egyptian, Roman,
Turk, Jew, Christian and Mohamne-
dan have fought for possession of the
birthplace Of the founder of Chris
tianity.
The land has been held by the
Turks since 1916, when they defeated
the Msmelukes.
The plain Of Esdraelon, traversed
by General Allenby's soldiers, is the
field of Armageddon Of ancient le-
gand. Nazareth, at the northern end
of the plain, is the town in which
Christ spent his childhood. Beisan,
to the eastward, was an ancient Ro-
man stronghold and contains the re-
mains OF an acropolis, q theater, and
numerous columns and tombs and Il
Roman bridge.
Acre, on the Mediterranean, where
the British recently landed, was the
objective of Nspoleon's campaign in
1888, after his return from the i'll
fated Egyptian expedition. He cap
tured Jsffa and Lydd, but eventually
met defeat and was forced to relin-
quish his conquests.
Germany turned her attention to-
ward Palestine some score of years
ago as part of the kaiser's ambitious
plans for development in the direc-
tion of Bagdad and the Persian gulf.
Rumors were current at that time OF
a mysterious ceremony which attend
ed the kaiser's visit to the mount OF
Olives.
Recently General Allenby's forces
have bivouacked arounn Mary's we'll
in Nazareth, which is marked by his
tory as the place from which Christ
drank as a child.-Salt Lake Herald.

The why of Grubb's Attack.

One day last week the Grand juno
tIon News delivered an Outlandish
TRADE against Congressman Taylor,
clothed in the garments OF an inter
view with Eugene Grubb, OF potato
fame. 1t consisted Of about as much
that was absolutely uncalled for ~
could possibly be gotten into as many
words. 1t WAS hard for us to figure
out how our friend Gene could feel
that way about his fellow citizen OF
Garfield county. A few days later,
however, when in the Enterprise Of
Ace, we made the discovery that
Gene has n very high regard for MIR.
Taylor in every way but politically,
and that he was merely getting rid OF
some of his surplus political steam
when talking with the editor OF the
Grand Junction News. 1t all came
out in this way: A couple OF citizens
of the west end of the county came
into the office seeking relief from an
Illogical food order, as
far as It applied to their locality.
Mr.. Grubb WAS In the Office at the
time and we turned the gentlemen
over to him. One Of the first things
Mr.. Grubb did was to advise them to
write to Ed Taylor. He went on to
say further that Mr.. Taylor could get
things done in Washington for his
constituents where nobody else would
or could. And the best friend MIR.
Taylor ever had could hardly have
been more enthusiastic in praise OF
Mr.. Taylor's ability to do things for
his constituents. He was frank
enough to acknowledge that the only
thing he had against Ed Taylor was
the fact that he is Democrat. Hence,
1t will be we'll for those reading any
more interviews against Mr.. Taylor
from Gene Grub. to take them with
a large-sized grain OF salt.-Montrose
Enterprise.

<sscri.ice is Needed to Win War.

Frank B. Anderson, president of
the Bank of California, one of the
most careful, authoritative observers
OF Industrial conditions, sounds the
following straight from-the-shoulder
warning to the American public,
which he asserts. is not making the
sacrifices necessary to the success of
the governments gigantic war pro-
gram.
Asked for his opinion upon the cur
rent state of affairs in the United
States in connection with the war
Anderson said:
1.-THE financial situation is well in
hand and the machinery for granting
credit is ample. No essential enter
prises need fear that they Will not be
taken OF for their seasonal needs, but
all nOn-essential enterprises Will be
brought to understand that the gov
ernment needs the credit which 1t is
using and the labor which it is en-
ploying; the adjustment will be
brought about gradually so AS to
create HI little hardships as possible.
1.-THE people of the country must
realize that they cannot give the gov
ernment the power to purchase the
things it needs and retain that pnr-
chasing power for themselves.
much more stern economy must
be practiced, otherwise the govern
ment's program cannot be carried
out. There is not sufficient labor and
manufacturing capacity in the coun-
try to allow the population to live as
it ia now living, and in addition al
low the government to procure all
that it needs"

THE WAR

Another week of Allied victories
all along every front, sums up the
events of the last seven days in the
World war.
The British continued their brill
liant work in the tottering Turkish
empire by capturing the famous city
Of Damascus, and with 1t over 1000
prisoners.
Bulgaria has surrendered to the
Allied armies.
The French have taken st. Quen-
tin, and the British Lens. Thousands
of German prisoners were captured.
The British are also pushing into
Cambria. The Belgians won = nota-
BILE victory on the Flanders front. At
every point the Huns are retreating.
During the past week the Allies
have captured $4,000 German prison.
ers and 1000 big guns.
The Hindenburg line is gradually
crumbling at all points, and the
Allies are now we'll on their way to
Berlin.
