THE IrRossrBLE TURK

The entry of British armies into Pal
estine may bring to pass some Bible
prophecies concerning the return or
the Jews to the Holy Land. 1t certain
ly looks that way at present writing. 1t
is understood now that protectorate
had been agreed upon by England,
while Car Nicholas was a ruling mon
arch. The latest advices from Meso-
potamia indicate also that scheme
for self-government in Palestine will
De carried forward by France as quickly
as possible. Germany and Austria aided
by the Infamous BolShevik faction had
resolved to control all the ports of
the Black sea, but the victories of the
British forces in Mesopotamia have
made thing looks very different.
Turkey has been what might be cali
ed strumpet nation for long time
of tyranny and oppression. 1t was a
mistake not to give to Turkey what be-
longed to her when Mr.. Gladstone in
parliament Numbered against the

civilization that no attempt was made
to teach the Turkish nation what should
have been taught by rifle and bayonet.
The work has been made seriously diff
cult by the delay of nearly a century.
Mayhap the time has come now to wipe

The Turkish empire is a disgrace to

desperadoes may be demolished in toto

Another Good Florida Letter
September 9, 1918.
Dear Mrs. FELTON,: AS it has been a
long time since l have written to you,
this leaves US all well and my daugh-
ter, IL years old, and, Mrs. FELTON,, She
will start to school today only one mile
to walk-just good exercise. FELTON,
has grown fast and often looks at your
and DR.. Felton's pictures in the book
you sent about three years ago. We do
hope he will be as good man as his
namesake. If he does and 1 live to see
him grown L will be content. 1 was
born in November, 1883. 1 have son,
Thomas E. Morgan, who is q, who vol
unteered last December; tried to get in
the navy, but was too light. Joined the
aviation corps, transferred to Texas,
then to Arcadia, Fla, and then trans
ferred with 165 more men to France,
and he is in battery D 81, field artil-
lery. He sailed about July IA from
New York He arrived safely overseas.
l do hope he and all the rest of the
U. S. boys can whip the Huns and get
back home safely; Tim is single and
is carrying two w. o. W. policies of
$4,000, and I received from the govern
ment about three months ago a policy
of $1,000 he had taken. L have two
sons married living on our farm and
are farmers. Neither has any children.
1 am getting old. 1 look for the young
est boy to be called, though he has
been married nearly four years. Corn
crops are good with US, and lots of it

sweet potatoes; did not plant but little
cotton; it is fairly good. Well, 1 hope
you are enjoying good health, and l do
love to read your good letters in The
Journal.
