Damascus.

Damascus is the Turkish base in Syria
and Palestine and its capture probably
means the end of all Turkish resistance
to General Allenby in Palestine and Syria.
The city, which dates back to the dawn
of history, is the junction point of rail-
roads leading to the port of Beirut and
AlIeppo, 1870 miles northeast.
Damascus is the capital of the vilayet
of Syria and has population of about
$50, 600 1t is one of the Holy cities of
the Mohammedans and the Arabs regard
it as one of the four paradises on earth.
The capture of Damascus marks an
advance of 1870 miles by General Allenby's
forces since Sept. goth. the day he launched
his victorious attack north OF Jerusalem:
In that time the British have captured
more than 1000 prisoners, destroyed at
least three Turkish armies and driven the
enemy from Palestine and great part of
Syria.

"Aged, Inhrm and Dependent"

1t appears that one Sanford Geary of
Bath deserted from Camp Devens, was
recently arrested in Portland, sent to
Fort Williams, Portland, and later to
Fert Merritt New Jersey, and still later
across. 1t was thought that his desertlon
would cause forfeiture of all benefits
from State and go. ernment, but investl-
cation reve aied that Uncle Sam had no
intention of allowing the shortcomings or
misdeeds of his soldiers to make their
families suffer. Mrs. Geary is therefore
drawing SAT. so per month from the gov
eminent, the federal aid and pay allot-
ment.
Chairman Russell found that the State
agreed with the government view OF the
matter and was advised to have Bath pay
the State aid due Mrs. Geary, as the
State would have to follow the govern
ment action in such cases. This means
that Bath will pay Mrs, Geary 81 per day,
to be reimbursed by the State. She will
thus receive in all, S77.50 from Federal
aud State, with the pay allotment.
The annual meeting of the Maine State
Conference of Charities and Corrections
will be held in Portland, Oct. 23rd and
4th. An attractive program is outlined
and speakers of national repute will lee
ture on health charities, and corrective
problems. The Falmouth Hotel will be
headquarters for delegates.

VERIFY THEY WERE GIANTS,

We read in our cyclopedia that Miles
Darden was born in North Carolina in
1893 and died in Tennessee in 1857. He
was IL feet high and weighed at his
death over 1000 pounds. We are further
Informed by the same authority that dur
i ng the last four years of his life he be-
came so corpulent that he was compelled
to refrain from great activity. Accord
ing to the Old Testament, Goliath reach
ed stature of cubits and span which
would be about IL feet. Mr. Darden,
although shorter, must have over match
ed Mr.. Goliath in girth at least three
feet. AS far as we were informed Phil
istia holds the record for human stature
but America claims the record for re-
tundity.

1t is said that the number of women
war workers in England is now more
than 5000, OO0 Before the war the num-
Der was less than 200, 200 and these
were mostly in textile mills. England
has sent one-half her working men into
the army, yet her output of steel, which
in 1914 was 100000 tons will be IL, 0OO,-
900 this year. Last year she added l.
O00, 600 acres to her cultivated area, and
Increased her production of grain $50, 900
tons and her potato crop 5000, 600 tons.
The work of the women and the use OF
large number of American tractors has
made this possible. Before the war Great
Britain raised each year about 81, ZOO, 00O,-
600 in taxes, last year she raised four
times that amount. England has risen to
the exigencies of these Hateful days.

On August goth of this year the u S.
Government paid out S156, 900, 900 for
war expenses and loaned to the Allies
$40, 900, 600 which was the largest expen-
diture of any period of "a hours. The
American public has no committee or
agency to inform it concerning the de-
tails of these expenditures. We have
more than guess as to where $64O, OOO,-
600 of airplane money were spilled and
perhaps sometime this month we may
get some further information when Mr..
Hughes report is expected to be handed

that Washington dispatch states that
this report will be suppressed till arrests
have been made, but that ought not to

GERMAN PAPERS
BADLY CONF USED
ON PEACE NOTES
icy MORNING ,ouss.l SPECIAL LEASED wlss

Washington, Oct. 15.-Swiss dis
patches today say the German news
papers are now showing a confusion
equal to that which they showed in
the interval between the proposal of
Prince Macmillan and President Will
sons MESA &c of inquiry, Some of them
are quoted as follows:
Rhe Frankfort Zeitung: Evidently
IL the negotiations cannot be carried
out We still turn back to arms and in
desperate comhats defend the German
territory, but we must have no illu-
sions in this respect. At the most im-
portant time of her history Germany
feets the lack of that very energetic
military help, which, according TO
ancient beliefs. stands for right. How
ever terrible this establishment may
be for the German people, brought up
among military display. humanity will
benefit by it il President Wilson is
able to establish real and true JUS
tice."
The Morgan Post:
THE army high command believes,
too, that the continuation of war in
the present circumstances will bring
no good results

ALLIES AGREE ON
UNION Of EFFORT
IN AIR PROGRAM

Washington, Oct 10. - An agree
ment under which the aircraft re-
sources of the allied countries and
United States are to be developed in
carrying out u joint program was ar
rived at during the visit to England
and France of Assistant Secretary OF
War John D. Ryan, head of the army
aircraft division. Details of the plan
necessarily may not he disclosed. but
Mr.. Ryan said today 1t contemplated
joint efforts both in aircraft produc-
ton and in the operation of the ma
chimes in battle.
So far as the operation of the ma
chimes in battle is concerned, he eX-
planned that the supreme commander,
Marshal Foch, and the field COM
manders. General Petain, Haig and
Pershing will continue to control the
air fleets as they controlled every 9TH
er element of the atmies under their
command
The agreement contemplates that
each country shall use its production
resources to the limit in the lines
along which it is best equipped to
work and that the fighting forces or
all three air services shall be suppiied
out of this production.
The air supremacy of the allies Is
unquestioned, Ryan said, but without
eo-ordinated efforts and co-ordinated
command the centralized German air
fleet might be concentrated against
the American, French or Brit sh
souadrons in overwhelming numbers
for any short period.
