ALLIES HAVE THE
TURKS ON THE RUN
Significance of Victory in the
Valley of the Jordon.
ROADS TO CONsTANTINOPLE
The Isolation Of Turkey Apparently
Effected-Turkey Not Likely To
Make A Fight To The
Finish.

Washington.-The British victory
over the Turks in the valley of the
Jordan creates at once Jaw" for
the pincers movement for the COM
plete isolation of Turkey, in the view
of military men in this city.
Incidentally, but of the greatest i'm
portance, the rout Of the flower Of the
Sultans forces strengthens, although,
apparently, remotely, the iron ring
which is destined to crush the Central
Powers.
For both reasons the staff opinion
here is that the significance and effect
and military splendor of the victory
at "Armageddon" cannot be overesti-
mated.
1t is pointed out that, while the
movement of the British along the
Caspian Sea has halted somewhat,
there is a direct connection between
that movement and the one under
General Allenby, the exploits of whose
army, have electrified the stats of all
the Allies. 1t is easily prophesied now
that there will be immediate and tell
ing progress west of the Caspian. The
resistance in that neighborhood was
due principally to some fierce tribes.
These, it is said, will naturally be dis
mayed by the total overthrow of the
Sultan's best troops, which were
chosen to face General Allenby.

Turkey by the throat is no longer a
phrase; it is a fact. There is now no
resisting the jaws of the pincers on
two fatal lines Of porgress. The Ser
bians and their Allies, Greeks, Brit
ish and French, are forging ahead
over a rough road, with the Turkish
west border as Their immediate OBJ
jective. 1t is held that while there
is difficult work ahead from Rustub,
when reached, to Constantinople,
there are too many armies now en-
route against Turkey to make the
problem unusually difficult
The advance on the other jaw may
be slow, but 1t will take him along
the seashore by Smyrna 1t will be
possible to give him all the troops
he will need for final smashing of
the Turks in Asia Minor as the French
and British fleets are expected to CO.
operate with him the moment he
opens one of the ports of Turkey in
Asia. These are now almost hermet-
ically sealed by the French fleet
which specifically has the blockade of
Turkey in hand.
The section of the Holy Land north
of Jerusalem, extending from the
shores of the Mediterranean to the
banks Of the Jordan, the scene of
General Allenby's great victory over
the Turks, has been battle ground
since the dawn of history.
On this ground Egyptian, Turk, Ro-
man, Jew, Christian and Mohamme-
dan have fought for possession of the
birthplace of the founder of Christian
ity. The land has been held by the
Turks since 1916, when they defeated
the Mamelukes.

.BOCHE SOLD WAR
CROSS FOR SMOKES

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-How three
American girls entertained several
hundred United States marines on the
night before they marched into the
ST. Mihiel salient on September 12 was
told recently at the Belmont Hotel by
Miss Sophie BeauveGU Norris, of
Philadelphia.
Mss Norris has just returned from
the war front after over a years ex-
perience as a canteen worker in the
Y NJ c. A. For the last few months
she was in the Toul sector. and saw
the preparations going forward TO
drive the Germans out of the St
Mihiel territory.
"a lot of marines were in our vii.
lage of Bauvron, northwest Of Toul,
said Miss Norris, "and we got up a
rousing concert for them on the night
before they left for the battlefront.
The biggest feature was the dancing
in the streets, and as every marine
wanted to dance with an American
girl, IL was mighty strenuous work
for the three girls to give every one
a chance. The boys told US that We
were the first American girls they
had seen since embarking for France,
and they were wild with delight.
1--WE saw some OF them wounded
after the Germans had been cleared
out of the salient There was not
whfmper or groan. and every wounded
fellow tried to get Of some Joke, ask
ing what kind of a baseball team they
would make and making other laugh
able comparisons on their crippled
condition. II was the typical Ameri-
can spirit that is Characteristic of the
American army. They want to get
hack home of course but not one
wishes to come until it is over and
the Germans completely beaten"
Miss Norris saw one batch OF over
1000 German prisoners captured In
the st. Mihiel fight.
"I did not see one who was not glad
to be captured" she said. an the
batch was one big German who Of
fered to sell his iron cross for three
packages of cigarettes. Supplies had
run low then. and we didn't have three
packages The German was offered
money. but he said that good Ameri-
can smokes were worth more to him
than money"
