and the establishment of a constitution

first time in several centuries felt
themselves to be free men.
But, as l have already described, all
these aspirations vanished like a
dream. Long before the European war
began, the Turkish democracy had dis
appeared. The power of the new sui
tan had gone, and the hopes of regen=
Grating Turkey on modern lines had
gone also, leaving only a group of in
~dividuals, headed by Talaat and Enver,
actually in possession of the state.
Having lost their democratic aspira-
tons these men now supplanted it with
a new national conception. In place
of a democratic constitutional state
they resurrected the idea of pan-Turk-
ism; in place of equal treatment of all
Ottomans, they decided to establish a
country exclusively for Turks. l have
called this a new conception; yet it
was new only to the individuals who
then controlled the destiny of the en-

attempt to revive the most barbaric
ideas of their ancestors. 1t represent

now saw that the Turkish leaders. in
talking about liberty, equality, fra

merely children repeating phrases;
that they had used the word "demOc-

climb to power, After 500 years
close contact with European civiliza-

According to ~astrology this is an un.
usually fortunate day, venus, Neptune
and Jupiter are all in Denefic aspect.
The posting Of the stars promise
much love-making for the holiday sea-
son, many. engagements and an unusual
number of hasty weddings.
This should be a lucky bridal day, for
1t promises plenty of money as well as
romance.
This should be an suspicious rule for
actresses and especially for first nights.
Theaters should profit from this sway
Of the stars.
Neptune encourages psychic investi-
cations and occult studies, about which
much will be written IN the new year.
This should be an advantageous sway
for speculation or investment in any
business connected with oils or paints.
Under this government peacemakers
are believed to benefit especially and
the seers declare that the stars will
hasten deliberations.
Beauty is to be mucn considered In
all things after the world has begun
to recover from the war, the seers de-
clare, and the United States will enter
upon a period of great art development
that will afford are opportunities for
American genius.
Again, 1t Is prognosNcated that there
will be much gayety and entertaining
in the new year, and voices will be
raised against extravaganza.
Neptune Is in a place as giving prom
Use of wealth from the seas, This may
mean the salvaging OF many ships, but
astrologers interpret 1t as indicative Of
the utilization in new ways of fish, sea-
weed and other products OF the deep.
Agriculture is subject to direction
that promises not only good crops but
high prices.
A famous educator will end his career,
it is prognosticated, az a time when he
Is most needed.
Persons whose birthdate It is may
meet many annoyances In business in
the coming year. There is an augury Of
much happiness in the domestic circle.
Children born on TINS day probably
will be generous, kind and affection
ate. These subjects OF capricorn should

1t is regretted that there are some
people who cannot comprehend the one
big thing in this war which is necessary
to win-that is conservation OF food and
fuel. Those who hog sugar, -four and
coal are defeating the very ends sought.
While self preservation may be one of
the laws OF nature yet all owe duty to
county and other people have rights
which must be respected.
1t may be that drastic steps will have
to be taken to correct these abuses. If
so let the rules be so stringent that none
can escape. The family that has plenty
of coal in the cellar and orders an addi-
tional half ton now and then can be
classed as slackers and conspirators
against the country. The pantry that is
filled with sugar and -four and still calls
for more should be stripped of it's stock.
1t is sad, indeed, to think that people
can be so selfish.
lhe winning OF the war Is going to call
for personal sacrifice from every single
individual. There will be just two
classes-traitors and patriots. The
hoarders of food and fuel can be classed
as nothing less than traitors. Their
very acts are helping the cause of Ger
many.-Burlington Clipper.
