That the British have captured Je- rusalem brings mo surprising news, Tt has been anticipated for some time as the result of the determined campaigh which has been conducted in that re- xion by General Allenby whose forces have been steadily spreading over the Holy Lands. It may be that the driving of the Turks from this region may hold ne great mi ry advantage but {t means much to the British forces by givinz them control of the raiircads thers, and it destroye- all possibllity of an attack by the Turks upon the Suez canal. It was to guard ageainst this possibility and even threatened dan- ger that this campaign wes under- taken. But it alse fmeans much to the whoie Christian world for it is not probable that Turkey will ever get control again of this ' section:. over which it has ruled ~ for nearly 700 Try as it will, however, Turkey can- not minimize the successful outcome of this campaign for there has been demonstrated the superiority of the British army over the forces which have been takem in control by Ger- man officials and the. way is now opened to strike north for a junction with the other British army which has pushed beyond Bagdad. Tt is not to be suppored that opera- tions in Palestine will be halted by this success, for with possession of the important ports of that region and the railroad facilities for conducting 2 much more strenuous campaign un- der control the most will be made of these advantages. BUCKING THE TUBES. Once again Vostmaster General EBurleson takes up his cudgel against the pneumatic tube service and in his annual report repeats his redommen- dation that this service be discontin- ued. He holds {hat inasmuch as the transportation by tube has not been adopted in commercial lines it has no value and therefore the postal depart- ment ought not to continue to use it. Postmaster General Burieson has always been opposed to the tubes. FHe Bas done his utmost to have them abandoned and 1n view of his feeling i3 *the matter it is to be presumed that he has not endeavored to get out of them all that is pessible. He has »= " ytelerated wha' he doesn't liké because ha has not the power to do otherwise, but under such conditions this branch of the postal service can Be sald to be operated under the most favorable conditions. Tube service is for the large cen- iers and it is difficult to believe that it eannet do the work that is required of it far more efficiently and speedily that would be possible by motor trucks, which would simply add to the congestion of the strests at the very points where it is destrable to over- come the same. With the mail service of the coun- try lacking in mary essentials, less efficient than In past years during whieh the tubes were used, and get- ting worse instead of better, it would appear 10 be a matter of good judz- ment to get the best possible out of that which is available instead of op- posing such facllities and endeavoring to institute something néw which be- fore it is adopied is kmown to possess serfous handicaps. , NEW YORK’'S LID. Judse Hylan, mayor elect of New York city, has taken occasion follow- ing a conference with the district at tormey to make a statement and issue » warning to the effect that there will be ne lifting of the lid &fter ha takbs) 2 office the first of the yeam This ne- tice is for the bemefit of the disorder- iy intercsts that they may m-vq mr warning of what can be expe it 1s aleo itended 1 reirp ‘which may be entertained by zens In general that cnndlunn. wkich are undesirable will be tolerated. During the recent campaign much was said about what could be expeet- ed if Tammany's candidate won. Phere was the past record of that organiza- tion to support such asseftions as were made and now that Judge Hy- ian is to take office it is but proper that he should set forth his po-lmm in regard to this matter. The deter- mination to insiet upon the strict en- forcement of the law is of course the only position that ought to be taken ol bhead of that city’s =averm- 2""&-#-.!‘# ment. It is vial to the best interests of the metropoiis and it is to be hoped that the district attorney will . be givén the stromgest kind of backing in whatever steps he takes to see ¢hat lawlessness is put down and kent down in the lugest city'in the coun- try. There have of coursp been plen- ty of instances whefe new adminis- trations there have opened with eqial- iy goed prespocts and it vemains te be seen whether Judge Hylan upholds the promises which he makes before taking office after he actually' gets nold of the reims. e ————— RUSSIA’S NEW REVOLUTION. In keeping With the promises of those who claimed they knew what they were talking about another re olution has been started in Russia. Contrary to the two previous ones this is not centered at Petrograd but comes from the south with the eves of the leaders unquestionably upen Moscaw for its center. What its outcome will be is Qiffi- cult to tell now. It will have to await developments but there are at its head two of the generals in whom a large portion of the coumtry has the utmost confidence. General Kaledines as the head of the Cossacks has the support of General Korniloff whose reputation as a fighter stands high in the list of Russian generals. It was Korniloff who told the Russians that they would experience the very con- ditions which ‘have come to paf if they did not insist upon tae reforms in the army and overcome the dan- gerous practices whick werc so gl ingly set forth“under the comprom ing adminisiration of Kerensky. Korniloff failed in his. effort to take mattérs into his own hands while Kerensky was in control, but even Kerensky must realize now that it would have been for the hest inter- ests of Russia if his efforts had succeeded. He will nevertheless be a powerful aid to Kaiedines in the new revolution and if, as claimed, the lat- ter is in nossessipn of the coal fields, which means that he can dominate the railroads, that he holds thc food sup- plies of the nation within his srasp and that he is winning to his sup dertain political - parties Russia which are opposed to the German propaganda and the bolsheviki who are plaving into the hands of the enemy, Russia has reason to place much hope in this new outbreak. DEER HUNTING. Just at the present time the open season is on in Massachusetts for deer andl many of the animals are beinz kiljed. Some regavd it more as a massacre than as hunting and deplore that so many are being shot especiaily the does. lookint upon the legisia- tion which permits it as a great mis- 1ake. The real mistake, it seems, was magde when legisiation was passed as it was in Connecticut which protected the deer for a peried of ycars in or- der to propagate them. It was cor ceived and passed in %xodd faith for is a plgasant sight to see the deer in he fields and to hive the preftv crea- tures abeut, but sufficiert attention ‘was nat given at the time to the dam- ige which they do. The rasult was that Connecticut farms were overrun with deer.\ They were getting a fine Hving off the crops and thus the far- mers were burdened with their mup- port ‘without getting any return. In justice to the farmer Comneetfcut now permits the killing of dger under certain conditions and thers are. thosc in this state who are rry!pp out against the slaughter even as tI are in Massachusetts. But those whe are the most coficerped over the deer hunting are invarfably those who are in née way supporting tiie pretty creatures or suffering frém thelr dep- redations. Had the decr propagation not been encouraged there woumld net now be the slaushter but they have muiltiplied to such numbers -that the farmers object and it is not surpris- ing that they insist upon relief through a reduction in numbers.
