per cent. Last year the apportion.

about $3.50 while this year 1t is ex-

increased apportionment is due to
the fact that more money has been

GERMANY'S DREAM
|NEAST SHATTERED
BY FALL OF beirut
Franco-BritiSh Have But tn
March a Few Days to Cut
Bagdad Railway.

PARIS, Oct. s,-Announcement OF
the landing OF French naval forces
at Beirut is Enthusiastically received
by the public. which is gratihed that
the French fleet has a share in the
magnificent achievements OF Gen
Allenby. The Matin says:
with the fall OF Beirut the princi-
pal Austro- Turkish base in Syria col
lapses. The Franco British troops
have but to march a few days TO
reach the Bagdad Railroad and break
Germany's dreams OF Eastern great
ness.
"The landing seems to be an opera
ton distinct from the land movement
which brought about the fall OF
Damascus. The official report lndi-
Gates that this bold stroke of the
French naval forces will have a great
effect on Constantinople, where It
will throw confusion into the ruling
element which Is seeking to belittie
the advance OF Gen. Allenby's men.
In addition, II will have a great moral
and political Significance.
syria has for many years been a
sphere OF French influence. The ter
rtory through which the Franco
British troops are advancing was
conceded TO US by treaties concluded
between the Entente nations, made
public a few weeks ago. The landing
OF our troops at the principal port
in that region is the first realization
OF the agreement"
