tuaIly annihilated the entire Turkish
force, capturing 900 prisoners, includ-
ing the Turkish commander in chief
and his staff, the report states.
The Turkish loss in killed alone ex-
ceeded 400. Eighteen machine guns,

Turks Flee in Disorder.
The engagement, according to the

Palestine began at Kerek, near the

TWENTY PATIENTS AT
 INFLUENZA HOSPITAL

MESA, Nov. H. The Franklin school emergency hospital is now ready for all influenza patients, and up to 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon 20 people had availed themselves of the privi- lege. Of this number, IA were white five Mexicans and one Chinese. There seems to have been somewhat of a misunderstanding regarding the pur- pose of the hospital, viz: that it was a. charity institution for the Mexican population and any others who could not pay their way.
 This is only partially true. Where there are sick who are destitute or un- ahfe to pay, the services of the hospital are free, but for all others the very moderate charge of s15 per week is made. The hospital became a neces- sity, first, because it is the one plan by which needless suffering and per haps death may be prevented and fur ther, because the south side and Dr. Nelson hospitals are both. filled with Pad3ents other than influenza patients.
 There is, in the estimation of the physicians of the town, no question but that the best place for an influenza patient is in the large airy building. There arc wards for white men. other wards for Mexicans and rooms up- stairs for women patients. Ample cooking arrangements exist in the do-
Arizona republican., 1918-11-11

nestle science room of the building.
 Two graduate nurses are in attend ance, but there exists a vital need for others to aid in the nursing, whether they be graduate or practical nurses or just willing workers who will come to the aid of the suffering. Of course, while the service will be volunteer, it will be paid for and the shifts are but eight hours each.
 Dr. McNeil, friend of Dr. R. F. Pal mer of this city, came from the east recently to rest up in the valley. He has consented to serve in the hospital. and his timely aid comes as a boon to the overworked medical fraternity.
 Miss Nell Price, nurse in charge, is very anxious that any man or woman who will volunteer as an assistant with the patients, telephone the hospital. number 123, and begin work as soon as possible
 Several new cases of influenza de- velOped yesterday. G. W. Brown. pro- prietor of the Orange Blossom, entered the hospital at noon- having beome i'll the night before. Several Mesa busi- ness men are i'll, and the sales forces are depleted by reason of the epidemic.

When The Whistle Blows Peace!

Perhaps before you read this the whistles have announced the signing of the armstice with Germany Perhaps not Whatever the result the work for the United War Work Campaign must 90 on-the drive which opens this morning. You ask, Why?
 When Dean Emory, United War worker and at torney for the United States Shipping Corporation was in Phoenix he told why this work must go on.
 Here are the facts
 It has taken much over year of maximum ship ping effort to get to France If they could be started home today they could not possibly be taken home in less time than it took to get them Eng land furnished two thirds of the ships which hauled army to France. After peace England will need every ship for normal so it will be up to the United States to haul the men home again. The many ships Uncle Sam is building cargo ships poorly fitted to haul troops From this you can see that even if the men could start home today it would be many months before all could get here
 Besides somebody is going to have to stay in Europe to do police work to that the Hun keeps his word France must have her manpower released so her army must be demobilized first then must come England and Italy and, probably our own brave boys will be the last to lay down their arms.
 This long period of tiresome police and peace mill tary work with no battles excitement-that is the period of danger Then these seven great war welfare agencies will be called upon as never before-caled upon to keep our boys from homesickness. They are
 making great plans to perform this service and must have the money-more money than ever, for 1t is big ger job-for you.

CANNOT GERMANIZE
 THE DUTCH PEOPLE

That Germany covets Holland is no diplomatic or other secret Everybody knows it. Considering the Dutch char acter and pride in national independ- ence which they have manifested even since the Dutch language assumed final shape as evidence of distinct ma tonality, it has seemed best to the HOhenZollerns to proceed by peaceful means among which none is more pat ent than intermarriage among influ- ential families. And especially there is desired marriages of German princes and princesses into the House of Or ange, which for some centuries, either as stockholders or kings, has been gov ernlng head of the Dutch state
 There has been great success sin se- curing German marriages. The mother of Queen Wilhelmina was a German princess, and her husband is a German prince
 But while there has been success in securing German husbands or wives flo rthe House of Orange, theassimils- ton has been from German into Dutch and not from Dutch into German We recall no German prince or princess who has married into the House of Or ange who has not turned out to be as loyal a Dutchmsn or Dutchwoman as the most adr~nt HoI1ander could de- sire, observes the San Fronrisco Chronicle
 The fact is that the sturdy Dutch character persists from generation to generation and forms one of the most distinctive types Of human species. This is not because the German rulers have not constantly tried to mold II ovea. but because they have failed to do so.
 And the modern Germans are irupa- tent that they have dallied so long with peaceful means an dare for taking by force what they cannot get other wise.

CAMEL PERSUADED

In 1866 camels from India were first brought to Australia for general serv- ice, says Norman Duncan in his book Australian Byways." It was a happy experiment A herd of more than 500 arrived with their Afghan masters in lSS4- It is estimated that there are now l0,000 camels at labor in the dry back regions of the commonwealth.
