THE BAKu EXPEDITION.

While the Western front must remain the
main battlefield Of the war, the spectacular
dash of q British force across Persia to the
Caspian sea has not received the attention
to which it's Importance entities it.
Eastern Armenia was to be the base Of
the Turko- German efforts to stir the en-
tire Islamic world. Armeuians and Rus
slams have been fighting against great odds
to prevent the Germans and Turks seiEing
the rich oil fields of this district The ar.
rival of the British force, small though it
may be, will heaFten the defenders and
with the coming of cooler weather Generals
Allenby and Marshall in Palestine and
Mesopotamia may be expected to cooper

throw an allied line across the entire PEN
insula Of Asia Minor from the Black Sea
TO the Mediterranean; end the German
dream Of stirring up Holy war; cut off
the oil fields of southern Russia from the
enemy; and even threaten Constantinople
from the back door, remote though the lat
ter possibility seems.
The quickest way to restore the Russian
front would be to eliminate Turkey from

THEIR FIRST THOUGHT.

Through centuries Of persecution and
despite the lack of any national entity, the
Jewish race has preserved its culture.
The Jewish people have ever regarded
it as a disgrace to be iliterate. Without
schools or universities, and without even
national government as rallying point,
they have preserved Jewish literature,
lJewish art and Jewish customs.
It is significant that one Of the first steps
toward the establishment ola Jewish nation
in Palestine should be the founding of a
EJewish university. Great Britain has
promised, and other Authorizations have &C.
uuiesced, that the Jewish race will have its
long dreamed Of opportunity to establish a
national home Scarcely had General AL
lenby's forces occupied Jerusalem than a
London philanthropist donated a site for
the university and now Jacob Sohiff has
given $4,000 toward an endowment fund.
Already high schools have been established
at Jerusalem and Jaffa and music school
at Jaffa.
That education should be the first con-
sideration Of the founders Of the new Jew
ish nation augurs well for it's future and
reflects the high motives that have actual
ed the struggles to givegthe Jewish race a
national entity.

TO BERLIN BY THE AIR.

Ever since America entered the war, the
possibility Of raiding Berlin by the air
route has held the Imagination of the
American people.
At last the project has been discussed
by one qualified to speak. Brigadier Gen
eral Charles Lee, chief Of the British avia-
ton mission, is flying about the country
stopping in the larger cities to make daily
talks On flying. In recent speech at Col
umbus he talked about the possibility of an
air raid on Berlin.
Some Of his figures illustrating the
growth Of aviation were startling In 1914
the maximum distance behind the lines
which could be reached by aviators, was
about 20 miles and not more than SO pounds
of bombs could be carried.
In 1915 this was increased to about 70
miles and 100 pounds Of bombs.
In 1917 it was possible for slow-flying,
night bombing machines to go 200 miles
carrying ] 800 pounds Of bombs.
This year in daylight raids it is posi-
BILE to go the same distance with machines
carrying 400 pounds of bombs, and by
autumn it will be possible to carry 800
pounds of bombs 900 miles into Germany.
Next year machines will be available
which will carry eight times that weight in
bombs twice as far within the German Dor
der.
1t will be seen from these figures that
one Of the 1919 machines will carry 1913
times the weight in bombs carried by the
1914 machine and will be able to travel 80
times as far. One such machine will be
as effective as a fleet of 100 or even 1000
of the old machines, and fleet Of 30 Of the
new monsters will be sufficient to devas-
tate any German city they select for the
scene Of their operations. Fifty such ma
chimes could drop 100000 pounds of high
explosives ON Berlin, or better yet on Es-
sen.
The airmen may yet conquer the Hun
before Pershing's men cross the Rhine

The Editors Mail Bag

To the Editor Of The Forum; was one Of the
fortunate ones to be taken TO the Kennedy farm
on Sunday to set up few acres Of grain. From
the dull routine Of daily work, the sight at the
farm was an inspiring one, with the wheat field
as far as one could see plainly in all directions
Mr.. Kennedy having over 1000 acres Of wheat
and every acre giving yield of from 20 to 80
bushels per acre. A hundred young women, more
or less, oveTalI-olad and bubbling over with en-
thustasm that gave itself vent in cheering raced
at the shocking and turned an occasional somer-
aault
That field with TOO acres of wheat shocks where
none stood in the morning, would make a good
Monday and IL exhibited in France will convince
the soldiers from the United States and the
French people that we can still feed them and
that there are worthwhile girls here in North
Dakota awaiting the time. when some real men
will come home from France and claim them.
Judging conditions generally with a couple of
other relics Of long and nlisspent life, the fact
that struck us all strongly the waste that is
inevitable on these big farms. On every acre
shocked Sunday there from q peck to
bushel OF wheat that win be gathered and
brought to the threshing machine Help is too
scarce and 1T is not a paying proposition viewed
commercially. What is true Of the Kennedy farm
is true to greater or less extent Of every farm in
Cass county.
The Red Cross is doing salvage work in the
cities and while there are no reports of the
amounts realized one may infer that this work is
profitable it is continued
suggestion might be made and believe
have already seen it in The Forun-that these
fields be raked and the grain saved and donated
TO the Red Cross. The waste from threshing
might also be gone over and what this work will
yield can only be determined after few expert
ments. Volunteer labor for this work should be
easy to obtain and a trial made to see If it is
practical and the results If practical would servo
two purposes; to save the much needed grain and
to augment the funds of the Red Cross
AT this time cannot afford to overlook the
tffles and in the aggregate this waste te trife

THE PROGRESS OF PROHIBITION.

THE PROGRESS OF PROHIBITION.
Almost every month brings national pro-
hibition a step nearer.
The steady progress toward a "dry" nar
ton is being made unostentatiously, but
there has been no setback yet.
Fourteen states have approved the pro-
posed federal amendment. Three-fourths
of the 48 states must approve it, making q
total of Sc necessary to it's success. Ofthe
IA states that have voted, all haEeapproved
the amendment, and the "wets" have yet
10 score a victory.
L. The states which have acted, in order Of
their ratification follow:
Mississippi-JanuaFy 8.
Virginia-January 10.
Kentucky-January ID
South Carolina-JanuaEy428.
North Dakota-January Is.
Maryland-February ID.
Montana-February 19.
Texas-March 4.
Delaware-March Is.
South Dakota-March 90.
assachusetts-April 2.
Arizcna-May "a.
Georgia-June 26.
Louisiana-August 8.
Twenty-Five legislatures must yet ap-
prove the amendment and every one added
now makes the struggle for the doubtful
states easier.

Swampy Cree Indians. has returned

Previous to 1860. when Fort Garry

located Chief Constant and his fol-
lowers regularly emerged from the
northern wilds, to sell their loads of
fur. He was a progressive Indian
and SO prominent was he in various
projects to open this region to civil

After he was elected chief of his

was made after the treaty of 1875
which was concluded at Pasakquay-
ahk, an Indian town which is now
known as The Pas. The Indians still
call the town by its original name.
In 1901, when the Prince of Wales
visited Canada, Chief Constant was
decorated with the Duke Of Cornwall
medal and although he proudly wears
greater happiness in the fact that 18
members of his band are fighting for
Canada and Britain in France.
Chief Constant lives at The Pas.
For So years he has travelled only to
Prince Albert and towns nearer to
his home but on many occasions
prominent government officials, fin
anciers and other leaders, have gone
to The Pas to confer with the chief.
1t has been said that he has been
consulted regarding every big project
that has been planned for northern
wilds.. The railroad to The Pas won
his enthusiastic approval.
Since his arrival in Winnipeg,
