Ldrd Curzon said that while the Turks Stj]l are in possession . ‘of 30,000 squaré miles of territory in rem he Russian troops are barring £thély fucther nd\uea in that - coun- RN . Persia was the scefie ot trmrble soon after the outhreak of war. .THe pop- ular theofy in this.gountry is that it was incered by Gierman agents with a view: to furthering Germany's dream | of a @iminion from the Athntie coast to thi ogean. i thé neéar eut Lord Curzon® saidfthat ‘thé prospect”of German success in 'Persia_was best in August last but that since then it had greatly lessened 8. that now the situation there waw almost satisfactary to the British gov- ernment. To aid the Russians in clearing out the Turks, Lord Curzon | #ald reinforcements are now being sent from. India and that it was hoped to restore order there before many months. “We seem to be in a fair way” con- tinued Lord Curzon, “to be consoli- dating the positions against the Otto- man power. I cannot say that the situation is altogether free from anxiety. Turkish: troops have still to .b& turned out from the western por- fnd shores of the hinterland of the Persian gulf are still in a state of dis- order, and the trade routes are not yet all opened.

Tondon, March 16.—An account of 2 mirage in the clouds is given in a etter’ from a' British flying corps of- r on the western front. He says: had often wondered what it $uld feel like to see a machine com- | ing straight for me and to know that a collision was.inevitable. I had the experience this afternoon, only the collision did not take place, “I was on patrol overs the lines, and had just gone into a cloud bank. Just before going in' I saw the ’'plane 'on my right turning to cross in front of me. Suddenly I saw a machine of the same type as mine appear out of the cloud about fifty feet away, mak- ing straight for me, “Instinctively I jammed my nose hard down and went as near a nose dive as possible. The other aeroplane | '{ did the same. I turned. The other | turned into me. “I was in a cold perspiration all! ver by this time. So I thought | ‘Here goes; if I am going to crash, it might as. well be complete.’ - So straight for it I went. We got closer and closer, and biff! my machine and —its mirage in the ‘clouds met. “It seemed like a hideous night- mare, and I can still see that machine dofng its utmost to crash into me. 1T think I can say I have have had the tull horrors of a collision in the air without its actually taking place. I finally got out of the clouds, and had | knot the fainteet idea where I was, un- til a shell reminded me that I was a little too low over the German lines.” SNAIL FARMERS PROSPER.
