the efficiency of the convoy system

LOCAL ITEMS

People are requested not to borrow Bibles,
hymn books or other articles left at the literature
booth or elsewhere in Shiloh Tabernacle AS an
instance in point on last Lords Day, brother
left his hymn book and brand-new So teach
ers' Bible on the desk in the literature booth af
ter the Bible School in the forenoon. When he
returned for them at the afternoon service, the
Bible was gone. In all probability, the person
who picked it up simply desired to sit down
somewhere in the building between services and
read it for while and thoughtlessly left it lying
in a seat, instead of returning it to the place
where it was found The Bible has not vet been
recovered. Perfectly well-meaning people have
frequently been surprised when we refused to
allow them to borrow Bibles or hymn books, for
use during service, which had been left in Our
care at the literature booth. They did not stop
to consider that the owner was liable to return
at any moment and want these articles The
only safe and proper thing to do is to leave
articles Of this kind belonging to some one else
absolutely alone.

In spite of the dry weather during the latter
part of the season. the Zion farmers, and es-
pecially the truck raisers, have done well this
year. There is great demand for anything in
the line of vegetables or fruit at good prices. A
considerable number have found a market in
Waukegan, taking the produce there by auto.
Others have readily disposed of their crops right
here in Zion City One thing which made it
very favorable during the dry weather was the
fact that there had been no hard dashing rains
during the spring season to pack the soil, and,
consequently, it worked up unusually nice and
mellow.

ing persons: Mr. Val. T. Nafzger REQ; Mr..

with parties in Waukegan and Wadsworth.
Every Zion person who lives in some other
place should get busy and move to Zion City.

NATIONWIDE WARTIME PROHIBITION
AMENDMENT APPROVED BY BOTH
HOUSES OF CONGRESS

The nationwide, wartime prohibition amend
ment to the agricultural extension bill, passed
on August 20 by the United States Senate, was
concurred in by the House of Representatives,
on September %, by rising vote of III to "a.
Only President Wilson s veto now can prevent
the entire country from going 'bone dry" ON
July l, 1919.
The chief provisions Of the amendment, as
it now stands are:
Prohibition of the sale Of alcoholic beverages
after June 80 1919.
Prohibition of the manufacture Of beer and
wine after May l, 1919.
Authority to the president to establish dry
zones around coal mines, munition plants and
shipyards.
The prohibition amendment, effective July l
of next year, will continue in force during the
war and until the American troops are brought
home and demobilized.
While this is only wartime measure and
therefore Of temporary character, it is ex-
pected that by the time the war ends and the
troops are demobilized, the Sheppard consti-
tutional amendment will have been ratified by
three-fourths of the states Of the Union thus
rendering the nation permanently dry

News of the World
TURKISH ARMY IN PALESTINE
PRACTICALLY CRUSHED
British Reclaim Large Part of Holy Land
By Sudden Blow = Important
Operations in Macedonia
&C. B. W.

After long period OF comparative inaction,
General Sir Edmund Allenby, the iberator Of
Jerusalem, has again struck swift and decisive
blow, which practically seals the doom of Turk
ish rule in the Holy Land.
On September 19, he attacked the enemy on
a 16-mile front The Turkish line was ripped
wide open and the British cavalry poured
! through the gap, advancing 19 miles in one day.
By this sudden move, the main Turkish force of
$4,000 men was cut off, the British attacking
from both front and rear
On September % it was reported that two
Turkish armies had been wiped out by another
surprise blow, eliminating in the occupation
Of Nazareth, Ell Afule and Beisan.
1t was estimated that these combined oper-
ations meant the destruction or capture Of
10000 Turks, as they were cut off from escape.
The Sultan S troops had simply been herded into
a vast trap and overwhelmed.
A London report of September % stated:
"Much of the fighting was on the famous
field of Armageddon, where according to a
Scrptural prophecy, the last great battle is to
take place prior to the Millennium -
Not only has Samaria been wrested from
Turkish hands, but a considerable portion Of
Galllee. One report says:
'The advance has carried the allies far past
the village of Nazareth and they are approach
ing the line of the ancient city of Tyre. To the
north is Beyrout, while off to the northwest, 70
miles away, is Damascus -
The past week also has witnessed operations
of far-reaching Importance in Macedonia, where
complete disaster threatens the Bulgarian army
On September % it was reported that along a
front of nearly 100 miles, between Doiran and
the Vardar river, the Bulgarians were in full
retreat, pursued by British, French Italian and
Serbian armies.
Indeed events are transpiring which may
easily mean the annihilation Of the two lesser
members of the central powers - Bulgaria and
Turkey-and it is not at all improbable that all
territory in the Balkans south of the Danube
river (the boundary line of the Old Roman
Empire } may be taken by the allies.
In France, the British French and American
forces are slowly but surely pressing the Ger
man armies back toward the Rhine
Editorial writer's are commenting upon the
fact, this week, that the kaiser has placed his
imperial brother -in-law upon the throne Of
Finland, lately Russian province.
A Stockholm Dispatch of September 21s
spoke of subjects of the allied countries and
citizens of the United States having been slaugh-
tered in Petrograd, the massacre following a
German inspired meeting in which resolutions
were adopted urging war on the allies, arrest of
all allied subjects and confiscation of their
properties The resolutions also demanded
an alliance with Germany for the purpose of
sending troops to the Murman coast where allied
troops are operating.
The situation at Petrograd is described as a
condition OF anarchy and murder, against which
the greater part of the population is defenseless
