TURKEY HELPED BY GERMANS
Jute Bags, Designed to Block suex
Canal, Are Now. Being Fut to
Peaceful Use.

II Ii always a pleasure to acknowl'
edge debt Of gratitude to ones foes
The German occupation has left many
a nightmare In this poor land; but
some benefits as well. One of these
has recently come to light. Hundreds
Of poor are peddling on the streets OF
Constantinop,e jute bags. with handles,
which are very convenient for carrying
home rice or onions or bread or patti
Jan (egg-planD or any other purchase.
For six or seven cents, one can have q
good strong bag.
The story Of these Is interesting.
During the early days of the war. when
the campaign against Egypt was I'M
dertaken. the plan was conceived Of
driving the British back to the Suez
canal, filling up the canal with the
sands Of the desert. and walking over
into the new Promised Land. and thus
delivering" Egypt from the yoke Of
tyranny. To facilitate this project,
the Germans sent into this country
millions Of jute bags. which were to
be filled with sand and piled into the
canal in a hurry when the ronquering
invaders reached its banks.
When the American committee for
relief In the near East sent out its
shiploads Of supplies for the starving
Of this country. and no warehouses
could be had for love or money at Con-
stantinople, the fine large German
at Derindje, on the gulf Of
were reQuistloned for this
purpose, and granted to
the relief committee. In these were
found about one million Of these Ger
man bags. For a long time they were
left alone; but recently some enter
prising firm has got hold of them, cut
each one In two SO as to make II Of
size. stitched up the ends,
put handles on-and the population Of
Constantinople thanks the Germans
FOR their unintentional gift! And the
Suez canal Is still open for traffic
