 Further evidence of Uncle Sam's determination to send men from the army to their homes better than when they joined the colors is given by the establishment at Camp Pike of a central school for illiterates. There are 200O illiterates at Camp Pike and all have been detailed by the army authorities to the Army Y. M. c. A. for instruction. There were 1.244 in attendance the first day. Four sessions of one hour each are held in the big Y auditorium daily, except Saturday and Sunday.

The Judge urged that every citizen
sacrifice to the limit to buy bonds to
assure the safety and comfort they
are now enjoying, and he warned
them against German peace propa'
ganda during the coming winter. He
pointed out that intense activities on
the western front would soon cease
because OF the weather condition In
western France. and that Germany
would take advantage OF the situation
to send out peace feelers. He thought
there would be few people In this

urge that peace be made. but he said
no peace made in Germany could be
accepted.

LAST ILLNESS OF THE "sICI
MAN"


II has been said by men profound
" versed in European politics that
the key to the European war situa-
ton lies in Constantinople, and the
Turk holds It.
That Judgment was based upon
conditions that made up the old
order In which II was generally ad-
mitted, that all the powers. severally.
or in their respective groups. we're
committed to the policy OF the Turk
holding the bridge between the two
continents rather than surrendering
It to the other fellow. Russia was
not to have 1t Individually. or in al
lance, the other powers preferred
that the Turk should hold 1t rather
than to pay the war price which a
dubious attempt to capture the prize
would entail.
When we say that Constantinople
is the bridge between Europe and
Asia that is almost literally the fact.
It Is the actual link OF interchange
between the steam and electric
driven, high-tension life of the West
and the odorous. spice-iaden, gem
studded enchantment of the East. II
leads from one land of teeming mil
lions to another-the one throbbins
with the creative impulse Of a new
world, the other living under the
spell OF a seeming necromancy which
dominates the old world.
We have drawn much from those
Asiatic millions, and we are destined
to draw much more. In their work
ing and their dreaming they have
contributed for centuries to Euro
pean wealth, philosophy, religion
arts, poetry and architecture. W.
still rest debtor to them for the won
derful products Of their inouscry-
their embroideries and rugs and silks
and cashmeres and porcelains and al
manner of designs, worked as 4
would seem by witchery, in metals
and ivories and precious woods. I
is across the Bosphorus that moderr
Europe and ancient Asia clasp hands
There's the bridge upon which this
potential East meets the dynamic
West.
To control that portal and make /
