war, is in Washington. He has sub
mitted a brief to the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee making sensational
charges. which he will be called upon
to substantiate.
The same American corporation
that is charged with furnishing the
inspiration and funds for the TinOco
revolution, is charged with similar
activities in other General American
and South American countries. The
reason given for the Tinoco revolu-
tion in statements made by Gonzales
is that the American corporation
wished to secure from Tinoco dock
age concessions that had been refused
by the former administration
President wilson's request, in his
message to Congress. that the treaty
with Colombia, settling the Panama
Canal dispute with a payment OF
money to Colombia, be ratified at this
session OF Congress, will precipitate
an investigation OF this affair when

Loves Amounting
By Robert Hare.


If we but knew
The alabaster box we planned to pour
On tired feet when life at last was done,
Would not be kept for years unsealed,
Unopened, till the heart it's rest had won,
When all is hushed at set of sun.
If we but knew
The perfume would be poured to-day
In healing sweetness and refreshing showers,
While tired feet might feel it's touch,
And aching hearts could share the powers
That love would breath in burial hours.
II we but knew
The eyes we see would be more glad
The feet beloved would walk smoother path,
And round the lonely heart loves tide
Would cast in warmer breath.
Its alabaster sweets, for life, not DEATH
If we but knew
Our love would go beforehand still,
And bare it's spikenard for the living head;
For frozen lips can never tell,
However tenderly we spread
The perfume when the heart is dead

that General Allenby will have lit

Palestine and be able to relieve his
communications by establishing a
base at llaiia. whence the railWay
runs to BeiSan, and Damascus Thus
the whole Turkish railway system
in southern Syria is controlled by
the Anglo-French forces in Pales-

The Turkish disaster. it is pointed
out is bound to have the most pro-
found reaction in Constantinople
and Sofia and likewise to compro-
mise the situation of the Turks in
Mesopotamia. 1t seems probable,
also that it will terminate the Turk
ish adventures in Persia and the
Caucasus.
The Daily Telegraph which de-
clares the existence OF the Ottoman
empire is imperiled by one OF the
master strokes OF the war, points
out that General Allenby struck un-
eXpectedly early and has all the cam
paigning still before him. The Morn
