OVerShadOWed most Of ASla and hdlt or Europe, has surrendered bag and baggage. This is an army that has given up; Bull garia was guerilla band.
 The first and most immediate effect of the Turk collapse will, of course, be the opening of the Dardanelles The world will have no difficulty in remembering how the might of England and France on how thousands of the bravest colonial troops of the British empire died in vain at Gallipoli Now the allied fleets will sweep through this famous passage and enter the Black sea and destroy the Turk ish and German and Russian fleets in those waters and quickly overthrow the Bolshe- wiki and restore shattered Rumania. An allied fleet in the Black sea, dominating the vast extent of Russian coast washed by those waters, only few miles from the heart of Russia Is a different proposition from an allied landing at Valadivostok or Archangel with thousands of miles of bar ren waste intervening between allied effort and the Bolshevik rule of central Russia.
 And again, more important still to the world from an economic standpoint will be the opening of the Dardanelles to the fleets and commerce of the world. It means that henceforth the vast wheat fields and food storehouses of Siberia and all that rich country touched by the Black sea will be accessible to the ships of all nations. Free and unbroken passage through these straits is a direct blow at the high cost of living the world over Never again will the Turk be able to control the Dardanelles or block progress or massacre or enslave Christian peoples or throw his black shadow of decay and ruin across some of the fairest portions of Asia Minor.
 This was the Turks last venture. His accounting, delayed and postponed thou be cut off from Europe forever and rele- gated to his own boundaries and the dark ages of his own personal affairs. He once penetrated as far westward as Tours, in France, but he will never set foot upon Flu ropean soil again except as a peaceful traveller, subject to the policeman tap upon his shoulder if he indulges in dis orderly conduct He has had a long and terrible day, has the Turk. He held the Holy Sepulcher against the crusaders and he took Constantinople from the Chris tions and in spite of eight centures of de- cay he evaded any real punishment for his crimes up to yesterday His venture with Wilhelm the Hun was his last and most disastrous venture. His day of grace has passed and his last appeal brought to quick judgment. He has ten centuries behind him, but not day ahead of him.
 It must be said that the Turk has fought well in this war Led by German officers and supplied with German guns and shells, he has made head more than once against the best troops of France and Britain. His famous anizaries of old never fought bet ter Make no mistake. The Turk is first class fighting man. Given modern arms and subjected to discipline and leadership. he is an enemy to be considered. The sur render of the Turkish armies will take a great load off the allied mind It makes sure the surrender of Austria and the fall of the Bolshevik It will make the task of the allies next spring one-third easier and less costly of accomplishment, for the Black Sea and the Danube will furnish fighting line behind the Huns back. No longer is the Suez canal threatened The entire allied strength can now be concen- trated against Germany for the first time in this war. The spring campaign will be short and sharp.
 And after the Turk cometh the Austrian pressing upon his very heels. And let un- conditional surrender be the watchword for all of them, Bulgar, Turk, HaPsburg
