and storage batteries, and for amalga-
mating gold and silver ores, but were
due also to the large increase of exports
over imports.
The exports of quicksilver for the first
10 months of 1917 were l0222 TASKS.

1916, and the imports were 4,49l TASKS
for the first nine months of 1917, against
$3.50 TASKS for all of 1916
Most of the output continues to come
from properties that were producing be-
fore the war, but part of it comes from
old surface material, for new develop

quire time and money. and quicksilver
deposits, unllke the larger uePosits oi

extensive financing of an industry in
which there had been little profit for dec
AIDES before the war. Some improvement
in the treatment of low grade ores is in
dicated at the larger properties and it is
from low grade ores that the supply of
the future must chiefly come.

tireless energy and sympathy are smooth

"The finest thing about the Young

was that it had everything to give anil

the aristocracy because it was good. aud
was a boon to the soldier, because it was
presented TO him in way that he couli

More Than 80 Per Cent of

Washington, Jan. 23,---one hundred
and sixty thousand Turkish troops -
more than 80 per cent OF Gen. Falken
hayn's reorganzed Turkish army--de
serted during the recent journey from
Constantinople to Palestine, official dis
patches yesterday stated.
Gen. Falkenhsyn, appointed by the
kaiser to reorganize the crumblng Mos
lens after Gen. Allenby's victorious Holy
Land campaign, has returned TO Con-
stantinople, and his entire plan for re.
Mobilization of the sultan's forces has
been abandoned, the report declares.
'NIore than 80 per cent of the strength
Of "a Turkish divisions was lost by de-
sertions during the journey from Con
stantnople to Palestine Gen. Alenby's
report declared, adding that al com
panies of storm troops which left the
Aexandretta district each 800 strong,
reached the front with only four officers
and 100 men in company
Even Turkish officers refused TO fall
in" with Falkenhayn's program, reports
declare, and openly voiced their dissatis-
faction. knowing well the unreliability of
the dsheartened, war-weary native
troops.
In less than three days Falkenhayn
abandoned the Palestine sector and re-
turned in disgust to Constantinople.
The internal situation in Turkey is
acute. Typhus which few months ago
was claiming l40 victims per day in Con
stantinople, is on the increase. At this
time of the year its virulence is most
pronounced.

from this disease in q single year, while
30 per cent of the Turkish army has

TlMETO REACH CLASSES
Changes Schedule Of Late After
noon Sessions So as to Allow
Ten More Minutes.

For convenience Of government en-
ployes who do not get away from Of
fee until o'clock. George Washing
ton University this year will change
slightly the schedule of it's late after
noon classes.
Glasses that heretofore have met at
s o'clock will meet at $40 o'clock.
Those that heretofore met at $50
o'clock will meet at o'clock, contfnz
uing until $50 o'clock.
Although the principal reason for
the change is that many students do
not get away from work until o'clock,
university officials also had in mind
the congested street car traffic imme-
diately after government departments
let out. 1t is believed that the shift
will avoid a great deal of hardness,
otherwise Inevitable.
The late afternoon classes are ex-
pected to be unusually large because
of the great number of war workers
who are eager to attain higher educa-
ton. The hours arranged at the uni
versity, make it possible for employees
to go direct to their classes from the
Office and to have the entire evening
either for study or for recreation.
The university Is being Swamped
with inquiries concerning courses, and
many students already have registered,
although the classes do not start until
September 25.
