TURKS LOSE
2 WARSHIPS

LONDON, Jan. 21.-Turkey's
situation in the war has become SO
serious that she took the desper-
ate chance of sending out the old
Goeben and the Breslau to fight
British patrol vessels on the faint
hope Of returning after sinking q
couple OF good sized ships and thus
bucking up a declining Turkish
morale.
This was the Interpretation
placed ON the Dardanelles engage
ment. The Goeben, renamed the
Midullu, was sunk by the alert
British patrol boats, and the Bres-
lau, renamed the Yawuz Selim,
was beached. Two small moni-

THOROUGHFARE
RENAMED FOR WILSON

Lucca, Italy, Nov. 9.-An ancient
thoroughfare which for four hundred
years has encircled this city on top of
the Lucca wall has been renamed as
Boulevard Presidente Wilson," in
recognition of American aid extended
to Italy in the war. The boulevard is
so wide that twelve horses can be
driven abreast in. it. The fortifca-
tion beneath it was built when Lucca
was the capital of a feudal duchy and
has been a famous relic for centuries.
On the same day an American Red
Cross orphanage, also built on top of
the great Lucca wall, was dedicated.
This curious site was selected for lack
of an available location in the town.
The building is a cunning adaptation
of the Luccan style-painted to con-
form with the wall and set with an
cient panels and Latin notices. The
orphanage was erected by the Ameri-
can Red Cross in fifty days to house
a group of soldiers children orphaned
during the war.

800 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander Evangeline Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangeline Booth, lead
er of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon to furnish 800 additional war
work women for France. The request
is contained in report just received
by her from Col. William A. Barker
of the Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over year ago to es-
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops.
"We win do all we can to fill this
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, "and the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlarging
the war relief work Of the seven or
ganizations, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for a drive for
funds. Each is vital cog in a vast
machine for human relief, and each il
