The story of how the great English
general, Allenby. annihilated the
Turk, drove him and his big army
from Palestine, and smashed the
Turkish empire, was told to the Bath
Rotarians early this week by Col. E.
A. Watkins, who is stopping at Wis
cassett for a few weeks, assisting
La vrence B. Greenwood in his evan
gelistical work there. Covering the
sacred ground upon which the
Christian religion was founded. Col.
Watkins story of this wonderful
campaign in 1918 as seen by his own
eyes, and intermingled with Biblical
quotations and scenes, created an
impression on the listeners quite
overwhelming. He uses no notes and
his ready command of the finest
English, wonderful voice and story
of the important part played in the
World war way off there near the
desert is simply beyond description.
The annihilation of five complete
Turkish army corps by General AL
lenby and the capture of Jericho
Beirut. Damascus, Alleppo, Nazareth,
and Bagdad, were but few incidents
in this great campaign. Big Hand
ley Page bombing planes were used
to advantage and literally wiped out
regiment after regiment of Germans,
Austrians and Turks.
The General flayed France, and her
cry of poverty in the face of the
money spent by her to help the Turk
in Palestine and Smyrna since the
World war seems like more of her
treachery. Col. Watkins praised
President Coolidge for his refusal to
reopen the French war claims just
now urged by Clemenceau.
The Colonel is no pacifist and pre-
diets that the next war will find
France. Turkey, Russia, and Italy
fighting the United States, England
and Germany.

ficent little city is the opening. up of that vast Kenai peninsula country all the way to Cook Inlet. No great stretch of imagination is necessary to realize that. The country down there is wonderful!
 Tt is unbelievable to me that the Department of the Interior or govern ment officials would block any at- tempts in the construction of that road for the reason that it would parallel the railroad, and therefor, a competi- tor of the Alaska Railroad. That is folly. The construction of that small piece of connecting road would mean an increase tonnage the railroad for development work of all sorts would begin in that rich district which has long remained dormant simply on account of lack of proper transporta- tion. Why, there is not railroad in the United States but what is not crisscrossed and paralleled hundreds of times by wagon roads and high ways.
 "For many years in the Interior, my home, it was common knowledge that we could tell the season of the year simply by looking up the freight char ges to outlying districts from Fair banks. This with respect to the small railroad which was then operat- ing, the Tanana Valley shortline. Ac- cording to the season the charges went up and down like a thermometer, due entirely, to wagon road conditions. The wagon roads of the Interior de- veloped new business for the railroad in those days. It is the thing Seward should fight hard for down here. More roads!
 Think not for a moment that Fair banks was handed it's roads on sill yer platter or that, like Topsy, they just grew up. Not so. We had to fight for the magnificent road system we now can boast of. It is now pos sible to drive over 600 miles in the h. terior without doubling back.
 "The Kenai country is without a doubt a woundrous region especially so from the standpoint Of mining, agriculture, fox farming, fishing, hunt ing and tourists. These observations I have made are practically the views anyone would gain in paying their first visit to that vast country so rich in potential resources. And l believe I am not mistaken in the views that I have taken. Don't forget. Start Get after that road!"
