long believed that when Christian rulres were again in power at Jeru salem it presaged the final disinteg ration of the Turkish Empife. In a country such as Turkey the effect of such a belief will be powerful, all mokt beyond the comprehension Of WesternerS.
 And now that they have lost ter usalem, I think the great strategic point the Germans are aiming for is Bagdad and a clear route from Berlin through Asia Minor to Persia. Asia Minor is splendid country for colon ization. When I passed through Al eppo in June the Gernaiis were al ready massing troops there in great
 numbers while I have since heard
 that these have ,been greatly augu- mented. My prophecy, if any opin- ion is of value in this war. is that the next months will see a German ad-
 vance on Mosul which if successful will be but the stepping stone to Bag dad But the English are stronger today than ever before in the Near l East and should be able to hold the enemy"
 When. asked about the administra- | ton and scope of relief needed 1 throughout Palestine and Asia Minor Consul, Glazebrook said that one oi ] the chief reasons why he was so anx- | ious to get back as soon as possible i to his post was that now he knaw the | way was open for relief to come through and there should be some ] one on the spot to administer it. Re I lief has been given. under his aus.

 l The American committee for Ar
 menian and Syrian Relief has jus cabled $25,000 to it's agents at Cair, for relief in Palestine. More fund! will be sent as rapidly as contribu tions warrant, and when Consu
 Glazebrook is once more in Jerusa lem he will personally take charge 0
 all funds sent by the committee.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Consul GIazebrook of Jerusalem Says
 Baadad is Next German Aim.


 Bagdad is Next German Aim.
 "The change from Turkish to Eng fish rule in Jerusalem is comparable only to a change from Hades to Heav- enl"
 This is the opinion of American Consul Glazebrook who returned to the United States in October after four years service in the city which has just been captured by English troops. Consul GlaZebrook expects to return as soon as our government can make arrangements to send him. He will resume charge of all relief work for Palestine, which at the time he left was under his care, and which can now be greatly extended as sup plies will be sent from Egypt.
 In an interview given recently at the office of the American committee for Armenian and Syrian relief, with which committee Consul Glazebroow is cooperating, he said:-
 "The fall of Jerusalem has two- fold value. From the practical stand point it is of importance because it permits through rail communication with Port Said and opens the way for English gold to come into a country whose currency is appreciated to an appalling degree but whose graneries are rich. The country will afford new supplies to the army. But all most as important will be the effect of the taking of the Holy City on yhe superstitious Arabs. The people have

THE POSITION OF THE ENTENTE

Had Premier Lloyd George been en- s4ged in answering the peace propo- sals of the central powers he could not have done 1t more effectively than he did in his address to the trades union delegates at London. He made 1t plain that Great Britain has not changed its position regarding the war. that it is determined to fight to a finish for the cause of the entente allies and that 1t is not the destruc- ton of Germany but a death blow at Prussian militarism that is aimed
 The war aims of the different mem- bers of the entente, including this country, have been set forth at dif- .erent times. There have been feelers put out by the central powers in be- half of peace. In his latest uttorance the British premier makes 1t plain that peace is out of the question until the enemy is willing to agree to the restoration and reparation Of Belgium, the return of Alsace-Lorraine to France, the independence of Poland, the recognition of separate national lOI <aldDldy ME sopotamia and Armenia, the restora ticn of Serbia. Rumania and Monte- negro. a icomplete union for ItaE and the internationalization and neu- traiiEation of the passage from the Black to the Mediterranean sea.
 He also demands an international organization for the settling of inter- national disputes and the making ot war impossible, while the future of the German colonies would be left to 8 conference which would take into consideration the wishes and inter- ests of the inhabitants. It is a stand which is aimed against German domi- nation but not against it's future as q nation and Germany must realize that fighting will continue until sucf terms are agreed to. It is an insis. tence upon the fighting of the wrong: which Germany has committed anG the protection of world peace in the future.

-----------------'- RAILROAD CONTROL.

In his address to congress regard ing the control of the railroads and the legislation which it is necessary to enact in connection with the as- sumption of this added responsibility, President Wilson went into an ex- plahation of the step that was taken and set forth in clear manner the reasons which prompted it. He looks upon the new responsibility through this control as less than would have been assumed had the attempt been made to continue the transportation business through the railroad war board and the separate systems.
 In connection with the change the president, however, does not lose sight of the fact that the directors of the railways have done all they could under the divided control. He does not take the task out of their hands because Of any dereiiction or failure on their part but because there were some things which the government can do and private management can- not"
 Through the change the government is going to be able to run the roads as if they were all in one system. There is going to be a common use ot the facilities, the terminals and the tracks and this standardization is go- ing to overcome much embarrassment which was bound to prevail under di- vided control. At the same time the government cannot overlook the fact that the roads must be maintained and that the financial interest of the own- CTS, must be protected and it is ir connection herewith that he asks fol necessary legislation from congress That is a matter which should bt given early and sound consideration

THE GUATEMALA EARTHQUAKE

Even though the loss of life as the result of the Guatemala earthquake has been less than the estimate it does not in the least diminish the sympa- thy which is being felt for those peo- pie who have been made homeless and those who have lost relatives. We have had experiences enough of the safun kird in oar own country to ap- preciate what such a disaster means to humanity wherever it occurs.
 Guatemala City lies in the zone however. where such seismic troubles cah be expected. They have occur red many times before and they will continue to happen in spite of all that man cali do. They come without warning and though they vary ir severity there is no telling when they will exact a large toll in human life and property. Guard against them as man will his efforts amount to little

PREVENTIVE ME,NDlNe.

In nothing does the old adage that the stitch in time saves nine apply more directly than in the matter of mending. One might almost say that in the matter of mending the stitch in times saves fifty or a hundred. If we ever did have any prejudice about wearing mended clothes it has gone with our prejudice against any sort of butter substitute even in cooking. It is not aH entirely unfortunate conse- . quence of war conditions that we have got rid of lot Of our old notions.
 There is but one way of avoiSAtg mending worn clothes now and that is to mend them before they have worn. It n1inimizes the amount of work need ed enormously and greatly increases
 the length of life of the garment Sd
 treated. Thrifty housewives some
 times have adopted the rule of mend
 ing clothes before sending them to
 the wash, thus preventing them from
 the, possibility of being torn or worn
 more in the washing. This never was
 very pleasant, as it is hardly a pleas
 ure, to nWnd soIed clothes. Better still, clothes should be r1ended when
 they are fresh before they have start ed to break. To make this possible il Is a good plan to go over the clothes every week whens they come up from the laundry. Note loose buttons. A loose button of this week is sure te be the missing button of next wsel and now that buttons are scarce ant expensive there is no use letting then slip down the drain pipe of the Iaun l dry tubs-whither any house plumbei l will tell you quantities of buttons d go all the time.
 In stockings preventive mendins consists in watching carefully for tht mihutest holes. If you catch the small holes bigger holes seldom come. II 1 corset covers and similar garments tn, l hole usually comes under the arm l Watch that part as the garments com, from the wash and when it looks veal place a patch under the weak portion stitching the old fabric down to tn new piece so that it is re-enforced.

 The forwarding of our ! troops in greater numbers than had been an- tieipated now is going to require a iarge number of transports and sup ply ships. Our needs in the shipping line are already far in excess of the supply but through the utilization of ships Of the allies which have been engaged in carrying merchandise, the pressing into service of all the trans ports which are available on this side of the Atlantic and the bringing into play of the vessels which have been or are to be chartered from the feu- trals there appears to be gcod reason to believe that the problem of trans- portation can be solved. But at the same time the situation which has de- veloped only emphasizes the need for putting forth every possible energy in connection with our shipbuiiding op- erasions.

A SCREEN CUPBOARD.

A novel screen that would make a delightful gift for any one living in small quarters really combines a screen and a cupboard. The screen is made with a wooden frame, hung with nurlap or some other heavy fabric And from one side the screen looks just like screen and no more. But from the other side it may be seen that two of the leaves form two sides of a small cupboard or closet, and two similar leaves form the other sidsy It is really very clever arrangement and such screen would help solve the problem of extra closet space in a room where there is to little storage room.
