RUSSIA’S PROGRESS TURKEY. Interest has been directed for some time to the Turkish area in the war zone because of the activity of the Russians n_Asia Minor and the fail- ure of the British expeditions in the Meeopotamia section. _ Under Grar Duke Nicholas the Russians have| made an important entry at the back @oor of the Turkish empire which has great possibilities before it. The British effort to capture Bag- dad was undertaken with less prep- aration and carrled on without as- certaining the extent of the obstacies to be surmounted. It has thus far been a decided failure, but new at- tention is directed to future opera- tions in that quarter by the report to the effect that the Russian forces, presumably from Persia, have joined with the British. Little or no detail has been furnished regarding this Russian movement, so that it is im- possible to gauge the effect of the unfon but it certainly cannot mean any weaker force in that locality, and if the Russian addition is a substan- tial one, the joint operations in Me- sopotamia ought to assume a differ- ent character from what they have been In the past. The claim is made that Turkey has strong Austrian reinforcements at Bagdad and that a German contingent is on the way, but if the Russians have reached the railway line, as has been: hinted and a new offensive follows as the result of the Russlans reaching the British, it is not surprising that Turkey is on the anxious seat and weakening its defense of Constantino- ple for the purpose of checking this serious invasion from the east. It js but natural therefore that there should be new interest attached to the progress which the Russian army is making. It has been present- ing a more formidable front ever since it captured Erzerum and now it has o operated as to obtain the bene- fit of the British assistance which up to now has been held in check. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner savs: Most men have little use for a remedy they cdfnot swallow or rub in. The search for Villa alive is likely to bring better and quicker results than the endeavor to find his grave. . No one should question for a min- ute that Norwich can stand the clean- ing up that it is going to get this week. It is so long since Villa hag been actually seen that he ought 'to be thinking about getting out some new photos. From the way in which the fighting continues at Verdun, it is evident that neither side is willing to concede the supremacy of the other. The way to tackle the clean up campaign is to tackle it early and keep it up until the job is finished. Thers is plenty to do to fill the week. Much is being sald about the fact that Roosevelt did not meet Ford whilé in Detroit. Under the circum- stances there is no reason for sur- prise. Most of the belligerent nations have pushed the clock ahead to save time. It might be a good idea if they would put forward peace for the sake of saving men. At a woman's convention in New York a committee has been named to entertain the husbands who may be brought along. That ought to mean @ good turnout of the mes Now it is the German cabinet which is receiving attention, yet there are very few of them which have gone through the war without having some of the veneer knocked off. —_— Possibly this new order to the Ger- man consuls in this country means |} [that the supply of medals has run short and Germany isn't going to dec- orate any more lfke they did Boy-Bd.

By Tuesday morning we were tired, but still delighted with our bargain. = We hadn't found a single thing to be sorry about, the way one usually does, you “Indeed I do know,” laughed the sympathetic listener. ‘Once I found that there wasn't any window in the pantry, another time I discovered, too late, that the tubs were in the kitchen, and the very last time we moved I found that all the faucets in _the house were broken—and tre landlord wouldn't give us a single new one.

If it isn't in the kitchen it's In the reception rooms and your husband always looks so shocked and won- ders why on earth you didn’t notice it when you went through. I'd like to know how you could see anything more than the very outside of things when the agent and everybody else conspire to keep You in dense ignor- ance of the drawbacks.” “We were sure we didn't have any here,” went on the woman who had just moved In. “But that Tuesday THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Sociuty Ciudad Juarez, of recent momentous meeting _between General Obregon, minister of war in the Carranza cabinet, and Major Gen- erals Scott and Funston, is the sub- ject of today's war geography bulletin, issued by the National Geographic So- clety from its Washington head quar- ters, which says “Situated on the right bank of the Rio Grande, directly opposite E1 Paso, Texas, and 1,223 miles north of Mexico City, ‘the very name of the city of Juarez suggests noteworthy events in the history of the Southern republic, and the conferences which have been held there recently by the representa- tives of the military forces of both the American and Mexican governments add another interesting chapter to the community’s annals. “For more than 200 years Juarez was known as El Paso del Norte (the pass of the North), and it was not until 1885 that the city was renamed in honor of one of Mexico's greatest statesmen and patriots, Benito Juarez, who es- tablished his capital here during the troublous times when Napoleon LI of France was abetting the ill-fated Max- imilian in his effort to found an em- Dire in the Western hemisphere. _“Juarez, a full-blooded Zapotec In- dian born in an obscure village near Oaxaca, succeeded to the presidency of Mexico when Comonfort, weary of the internal strife, ‘quit the job' and went to the United States, leaving af- fairs in the hands of his chief justice. Immediately Juarez was imbroiled in civil war by the assumption of the executive office by Zuloaga. It was while trying to displace his rival that the Indian patriot endeavored to bor- row money from the United States and, as a part of the bargain, he agreed to a treaty the terms of which brought forth a storm of protest from England and France. By this treaty, which was never ratified, the United States was to have perpetual and un- restricted passage across both the isthmus of Tehuantepec and the north- ern states of Mexico, and the right to employ American troops to enforce these rights as well as to protect American cltizens against levies and loans. “A short time later Juarez precipi- tated an international crisis by his decision to suspend for two vears the payment of interest on the national debt. England, Spain and France sent fleets to Vera Cruz to force payment, but England and Spain goon withdrew, while France; her soldiers once on Mexican soil, decided to press her claims and’ gradually Napoleon's scheme for a_Western empire began to assume definite form. His scheme eventuated in the abortive attempt to established Archduke Maximilian of Austria on the throne of the Monte- SVTe yoa Gut “It was ng the famous defense of the city of Puebla against the in- vading French army that a _young Mexican soldier, who was to become the most conspicuous figure in the modern Mexico, distinguished himself by his bravery and his exceptional powers of leadership. This young hero was Porfirio Diaz, now known to fame as ‘the strong man of Mexico.’ “It was in the center of the interna- tional bridge which connects Juarez and El Pasogthat President Taft and President Diaz ( he who had been Juarez’s military right hand), met in 1910, upon the occasion of the cen- tenary celebration of Mexican inde- pendence. “The traveler who -passes through El Paso on his way to Jjuarez may choose any of four times by which to set his watch—Central, Mountain, Pa- cific and Mexican. Mountain time is an hour slower than Central, while Pacific is an hour slower and Mexican Is 24 minutes (faster than Mountain. “On_account of its bull-fights and cock-fights, Juarez has long city of feast-day pilgrimage for Amer. the scene the # 288 :ii 8 42 5 Ll iis’ig | i thought of the cream of tomato that I had set aside for my lunch almost too mudh for me. “I hurried down to the drug store and telephoned to the agent to see Whether he had any other key, but e had closed his office and gone to lunch, so I called up his main office downtown. Somebody there said that all the extra keys were kept in the neighborhood branch offices. I re- membered, however, that the woman who used to live here had moved north of me and I went to her house. I did not realize that she had moved so far or T should have telephoned and not tried to walk, but it seemed like & short distance and I kept on. think- ing it was scarcely worth while to take a car. When I got there I did not get an answer to my ring. So I asked a neighbor, who told me the lady had gone away for the weck-cnd and that her maid was visiting a friend on the west side. ‘soup ‘was “I took the car back here and bousht myself a box of crackers, which I ate sitting on my front steps. ‘When the box was empty I felt bet- ter and I had the brilliant idea of try- ing to get ihrough the window. The oniy one on(the back porch was locked tight, but I hailed a small boy and got him: to help me work at the door for a_good half hour trying to open that. We failed, but the boy suggested that 1 get a locksmith, and was kind enough to volunteer to send me one.” “Help was at hand, then, T guess.” “Well, the locksmith didn’t hurry as much as he might have,” laughed the weman who had just moved in. “But he was quite cheerful and willing. T took him up the front way and hand- ed him my key so that he could see just what was wrong. He took it and stuck it in the keyhole and the door opened as nicely as you please.” “Why, did you ever!” “Yes.” calmly assented the woman who had just moved in. “You see, in my haste I bad gone to the wrong door and had been trying to open my neighbor's house instead of my own. Pure carelessness, as I said.” — Chi cago News. OTHER VIEW POINTS There will be unquestioned popular support for the plan of the Admiinis- tration to raise additional revenue through a tax on manufacture of war munitions, The war munitions busi- ness is piling up tremendous _profits and will continue to do so as long as the war lasts. When the war ends ang manufacture of war munitions ceases to a great extent the need for a large part of this extra revenue will also cease and, of course, the tax will automatically cease. No taXes are popular, but a tax on war munitions wil be less unpopular than almost any gther that could be levied—Hartfora 'ost. The matter of improved sidewalks is one that The Journal has repeated- ly urged onto the attention of the people. Good sidewalks are not only a convenience but an asset. Not only would good sidewalks make life's walk easier for our own people, but would serve to attract the attention of strangers when they visit here, and be an incentive to locate among us. ‘We can't expect people to get a very good impression of a place with side- walks left in the shape they are in some sections of Rockville. - The City Ceuncil has been slow in taking steps ot bring about action on the charter amendment so that property-owners can tec advantage of the chance to build walks on the new basis—divid- ing the cost,—two-thirds for the abut- ter and one-third for the city. The City Fathers have dilly-dallied long enough. There is no reason in the wold why the matter coulin't have been in shape for action at the last annual meeting. The longer the de- lay, the slower the work will be in getting under way. We need_side- walks and we need them now.—Rock- ville Journal. The grim fact is that this is no time for sternness -in such a ocommu- nity as Ansonia. Right is right, but there are times when the better part of right is discretion and considera- tion. The 150, more or less, of striking men had no right to gather themselves in ihe street and demon- strate in a disorderly manner. But 150 men do not make a menacing multi- tude. The police might have dispersed them by good judgment, even without using clubs. Oné master of men alcne might have soothed their trou- bled spirits and sent them on their way in peace. It was bad business to fire into their crowd, and the company ‘whose guards did that is lucky to have come off as easily as it seems to have done. Tt is up to the Ansonia Man- ufaoturing company to compromise. The last strike trouble in Ansonia was .own to be due to a misunderstand- .

Recruiting in this and many other provinces of Canada is at low ebb, ac- cording to authorities at Winnipeg, and the feeling s srowing that only conscription will bring forth the num- ber of men desired by government of- ficials. 3 During the month of March recruit. ing figures for this district were the largest recorded in a like period since the opening of the war, while the fig- ures for April were the lowest. Various plans have been resorted to in an effort to stimulate recruiting, but with little effect. Certain units are offering recruiting privates a day's holiday for every recruit they bring in and others have put up cash prizes of from $1 to $2 for every man recruited. Through fthe recruiting orgéniza- tion of the 208rd battalion every wo- man in New Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan provinces has been ask- ed to aid -in the recruiting campaign. With the aid of various sub-commit- tees, they are asking their friends who have male relatives eligfble for mili- tary service the following question: “You have read what the Germans did in Belgium. Have you thought what they would do if they invaded this country? “Do you realize the safety of your home and children depends on our get- ting more men now? “One word ‘Go’ from you may send another man to fight for our king and country. Do you realize that? “When war is over and your son or husband is asked what he did for his country must he hang his head be- cause you would not let him go?” Failure-of the ‘province,of Quebee to recruit more than 6,000 men, despite its male population ‘of one miilion, has sharpened the desire for conscription in other provinces. At a recent meet. ing here, Chief Justice Mathers, pres ident of the Recruiting League, pre- sented some striking figures and said that the 500,000 men required for ac- tive service from Canada represented 12 per cent of the total-male .popula- tion of Canada, which is 3,821,070, ac- cording to the last census, Quebec had a male population of 1,011,247 at the last census, Chief Jus- tice Mathers said. Thirteen per cent causis 131462, As only 6,387 baye en- listed, the province should enfst an additional 125,525. In Military District No, 10, in which Winnipeg is located, the census shows 584,079 males, 13 per cent of which s 75,830. Since this district has re- cruited 63,195 men, it needs but 12,744 to contribute its proportionate share. Horrors In the Wittenberg Camp. Major Priestley, of the Army Medi- cal Corps, has supplemented the recent official report on the typhus epidemic among British prisoners of war in the Wittenberg camp in Germany iast year with further descripitions of the hor- rors that he encountered there. Major Priestley, it will be remembered, was one of six British doctors, sent to the Wittenberg camp by the Germans ‘when, it is alleged, the German medi- cal staff abandoned its post at the camp after the typhus broke out. Major Priestley is one of the three sur- vivors among these six British doctors, the others having succumbed to the fever, “We were pushed through the barbed wire by the German guards”, sald the major to an Associated Press correspondent ‘in_describing his intro- duction to the Wittenberg camp, “and instructed to proceed to a certain hut where we found our mattresses on top of a stack of coffins. “Bt was dusk when we arrived and it is impossible to give you an ade- quate impression of the terrible con- dition in which we found the camp. We walked through the compounds to Number Eight, reserved for a hospi- tal, and although fifteen thousand prisoners were crowded into a space of ten and one-balf acres, we might have been walking through a camp of ghosts for all the notice that was tak- en of our progress. The men seemed dazed and apathetic. That night we began our desperate fight against ty- phus with all of the in its favor. “Our only stimulant was camphor- ated ofl which, although slow in ac- can serve that purpose when other stimulants are lacking. But that is only one indication of the hopeless lack of facilities with which we were faced from the start. The compound reserved for a hospital was such in name only, as it was not only g I g [ § ot give them even the ordinary com- forts which fever patients ought to have. Diet means much in typhus and the best I could give my patients after receiving _certain concessions in re- sponse to reiterated requests was three smalf cups of milk daily and oc- castonally some watery soup for each patient. The highest death rate was among the devoted men. who volun- teered -to nurse their comrades. At the beginning of the epidemic there were only three men of the medical corps in the prison and their places were son taken by inexperienced pris- oners, who volunteered for the terri- ble task with the same cheerfulness and bravery they would have shown in undertaking any purely. military tuty. “The physical misery and discom- fort of the camp would have made it a place of horror without any epi- demic. Many of the huts went with- out coal for as long as a week at a time In the midst of freezing weather as the coal contractors, knowing there was no authority within the camp to sec that proper deliveries were made, frequently failed to bring any fuel. The lighting was always insufficient and this added to theé depression al- ways felt in even the best managed prison camps. The room T recrea- tion was decidedly limited and foot- balls sent from England to the men ‘were withheld from them, and it was not until March that the men were ‘able to get even the elementary exer- cise of kicking a ball about. The first we got were three sent to me by Am] lor Gerard. He promised to send lese when he visited the camp and when they failed to arrive on time I wrote to him asking why and very shortly afterwards they arrived. 1 am sure that the delay was due to their being held up by the prison au- thorities. 'When I threw these foot- balls to a group of men gathered about my hut a mad rush was made for them, and the prisoners for the first time in over a year had a chance to indulge in a game of any sort. Later the footballs sent from England were released, so the men now get some ex- ercise as well as relief from the dead- 1y monotony of a crowded camp. “There is but little that I can add to the official report already published of the epidemic, which was ended by sunshine and soap. When the weath- er got warmer the men crept out into the sunshine taking infected clpthing and mattresses with them and en a shipment of soap sent from England was finally released to our use by the prison authorities the end was in sigat. “Great improvements, for which the inmates have Mr. Gerard to thank have been made since in the camp the most important being a well con- structed fumigator erected by the Germans which reduces the chance of another outbreak to the minimum. The general in command of the camp was removed after Gerard's visit, but the cowardly doctor in charge of the med- ical arrangements still” remains, and still wears his Iron Cross. ‘A little care at first with the segre- gation expected in places where pris- oners arrive from different nations and fronts might have checked the epi- demic in its inciplency,” but nothing was done, with the terrible results to ‘which the great trench in which men are buried four deep bears mute tes- timony. “One expects disciplinary rules in a prison, but none quite as severe as those ‘which obtained while the epi- demic raged. Death seemed the only penalty for any infraction of the rules while the guards maintained order, from their safe refuges outside the barbedwire limits of the camp. A number of attempts to escape, some of which evidently proved successful ‘were made, for no live prisoner was ever brought back. Several, who at- tempted to get away were brought back dead, and those who planned to escape knew that the guards would ehoot fo kill.

As he again sought his hut he was shot by a guard. With several fellow prisoners 1 rushed out to pick him up, but we were ordered to re- turn to our huts on pain of death, and the poor lunatic was allowed to die where he lay. The most wholesale use of the difie as an instrument of discipline came on the day Italy de- clared war.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dogs Should be Kept at Home. Mr. Editor:: I have read with smiles the two dog letters previous to the one in your today’s issue and with interest, the latter. I have always been a dog lover and owner and I have pretty rabid ideas as to the proper or- bit of the dog. My idea is that the dog’s place is home. Why should I who pays $5.25 for the privilege of keeping a thoroughbred dog be pest- ered with the scum of dogdom, every little while? I keep my dog on my own property. At night instead of turning her out of doors to seek food in the neighbor’s swill piles she is put up in the barn. During the day she is constantly with me, if not shut up, but is n loose to run free over other people’s prop- Now, a dog kept like this is no nuisance to any one, but constantly one can see and hear in the woods and fields dogs running at will, chasing the deer, rabbits, squirrels and game, that I feed, foster and preserve.

Y. “Why don't -the railroads immedi- ately replace all their wooden passen- ger coaches with all-steel cars? Why isn’t there some statute, court order, or decree of a_commission compelling them to retire {he wooden cars immed- iately? Well, dear critic, if you hap- pen to have $528,787,100 in your upper right hand vest pocket, just hand it over to the railroads, and they will doubtless be delighted to_comply with your wishes. That is what it would cost to replace the wooden cars with steel. On Decemher 31 last, there were 61,728 passenger cars in_service in the railroads of the United States, Of these 41,382 were wooden cars. Of the others, 14,286 were all steel, and 6,060 had steel underframes. Within three years 6,744 wooden cars have been re- tired from service, and of these 2,180 were retired last year. “At this rate, it would take twenty years to get rid of all the wooden cars, but progress will be accelarated as time passes. For example, ,there were in 1909 only 629 all-steel cars, while now there are than 14,000. Last year 1,250 all-steel cars were acquired, ind only ninety-six of wood, while of ,094 cars under construction, Janu- ary 1 last, only three were of wood. “Annual interest charges on the sum needed to replace the wooden cars with steel would amount, at five per cent., to $26,439,355. The railroads are doing what they can, but they can- not do everything at once. Sometimes the public forgets the immensity of thelr problems.” Civilization in Santo Dominge. ‘The Senate of Santo Domingo has voted to impeach the President of the republic.
