PALEsTINE's REACTION ON THE WEST

THE theory that military expeditions re.
= mote from France would prevent the
war from being fought to a clean.cut deci-
sion on the western front has been shat
tered with the Turkish army in the hills
Of Palestine. 1t is indeed the elimination
of the loose ends of the world struggle that
7 Will bring us closer to its cruX.
Realization of this fact is difficult when
military operations, geographically far
afeld, fail, as did Townshend's at Ctesi-
phon. or the inadequately supplied little
British army's recently at Baku. But
victory superbly WHITES the force of the
principle.
Authentic reports indicate that Allenby
has virtually annihilated two Turkish
armies, the Porte's chief military arm.
Forty thousand Ottomans have been
trapped. The release of all Syria from the
Sultan's rule is imminent. Turkey as a
factor in the war has suddenly become
almost negligible. The British advance of
sixty miles in a week is a triumph as
categorical as it is relatively new in this
war.
In the Balkans the Bulgarian power is
crumbling. with the Franco-Serbians
driving ahead at the rate of twenty-five
miles a day and already astride the single
railway from Uskub to Salonica. Turkey
and Car Ferdinand's pestiferous empire"
are being ruled out Of the conflict.
The fall of st. Quentin, when it comes,
"a it inevitably will, will thus have a new
import. 1t means the dashing Of German
hopes, in the place where they are con.
centrated. Looking far afield for com.
fort will be vain. The western front.
partly because of distant triumphs, be.
comes the wars barometer.

THE prospective Liberty Bond buyer

city of Philadelphia is in a quandary. 1t
IL currently rumOred that he is wise to
the great truth of the interdependenCe Of
gangs, be they of Potsdam or the metrop-

otherwise be diverted to Liberty Loan pur-
poses runs sufficiently counter to the pa
triotic spirit of the times as to benefit the
Hun ring.
The choice of going over the top or
under cover is thus explicitly presented.
OF course, it's hard lines to have ones job
imperiled by a refusal to cough up when
the annual collection plate is passed. On

Sir-A dispatch from The Hague describ-

Parliament last week contained the follow

The heads of the Entente diplomats were
divided from those of the Central Empires

any significance to the fact that the Pope's

In a world torn with passion and beset

regard the whole mission and function of
the words of the Pope in his appeal to
the belligerent nations in August. 1917.
These, the Pope said then, are the three
