THE PALESTINE VICTORY. Masterly strokes have been dealt the Turks on previous occasions but at po time have they felt the eifects ot the British forces in Paiestine more o thas they have in the latest drive af General Allenbyywho not only laid plans with such a thorough un- derstanding of the conditions that he was able to break through the enemy defonses, but he was able to capture » large slce of territory and surround {the opposing forces, who have failen into his hangs to the number of over 25,000, This is no small blow to a country whero the fighting machine Is nonc oo stréng at its best. Turkey has been losing for many months in spite of all the help which Germany has heen able to give it in the way of troops, officers, organizers and lead- ers. There have likewise been evi- dences which indicate *that Turkey !s getting war weary and nothing is ing to lend encouragement to that feeling like such a rout as has just been administered to it. For a number of weeks lttle has Leen heard from the army in Pales- tine but that did not mean that Gen- eral Allenby was not making the most of the situation as his latest accom- plishment shows and he made excel- lent use of the Arabian forces which are fighting with him. Moving up the coast it cam be expected that more will be heard from this theater of th war inasmuch ag the way has naw been opened for a move on Damaseus and other points of importance to the north and every move in that direc- tien puts the two British forces in ia Minor just so much nearer to- ther. it n FIXING PRICE OF COTTON.

Mr. Reavis is .just back {rom France, where he spent & number of weeks in the war zone, and was the over-night guest of General Persh t the fine old chateau which is' now his_headjuarters. eral added,” eaid Mr. Reavi everything except winning the war, I want those who return to be better men physically asd morally than when they were sent me. | meed more chaplains if 1 am to accomplish this, for many of the boys are away from parental restraint for the first time and need direction and advice. I have so much to do that I need chap- laing for this work.” Mr. Reavis com- mented on the remarkable traits he founfl in the great general, savin “I have never known a better fizhter nor a more religious man. He believes in the direct interposition of the Lol in, the affairs of men. Most officers 1 ave met were very material c and n full accord With the Napoleonic theory that the Lord is en the side of the largest battalion, but General Per- ring reverses this and helieves that a st and righteoys cause attracts de- fenders, so in the end it is the largest battalion that is on the Lord's side. Our soldiers are the best and bravest set of men to e found on earth, and | il General Pershing they have not only a great gemeral but a man so| human that their individual needs are constantly in his mind. He believes the war is being fought to preserve human rights, and while it is :oing on he proposes that everyone w reach shall get them, whether it is one of his men or the poorest peasant by the roadside. T've seen his chauffeur turn aside to keep from killing a lit- tle chicken which had strayed from the old peasant woman whose onl: treasure it was. And chickens are real treasures over there. He ex- pects his men to =pare neither them selves mor the enemy in actual com- bat, but he won't tolerate cruelty to harmless persons or animals. And his men know.it and respect it. Mr. Reavis had just addressed the house in cne of the most eloquent war epeeches made in congress. Other members returning from France have dwelt on the movement of troops, the ns or losses and the general con- ditions of warfare. But Reavis talked of the soidiers and the principles laid down for the condti¢t of the men by General Pershing. He wasn't talking for effect or playing to the zalleries; | he was just teling a plain, simple story of “the bays” as he found.them, and he was teliing it to his colleagies in congress, many of whom, like him- self, wear ervice stars for sons at the front. He didn't talk of guns and munitions, but of the glory of victory and the splendid courage with which our men are facing death. Reavis has a wonderful speaking voice,. is mag- netic and was uncensciously dramatic as he talked of the hoys as he saw them in camp, trench and hospital. He told of their privatiens angd fortitude of their charges over the top, of their shatiered bodies and gaping wounds, It was to his own “red-headed boy” in the trenches that his thoughts turned when he saw othcr hoys maimed and | dying. So he told of the simple and homely things of their everyday life, of their unflinching coyrage and herol death—and he told it so eloquently and so simply that there wasn't a dry eye among that great gropp of con- gressmen. When he finished the whola house rose and applauded. and as he passed up the aisle hundreds of hands were outstretched to grasp his. Congressman Gillett of Magsachu- setts, republican floar leader of the house, made a stirring speech in call- ing attention to {he great patriotic work dene by the republiegn party not only in follawing the president in his war policies but also in leading, when the democrats in the house failed to Yollow the wishes of the administra- tlon. Mr. Gillett deplored that Seott Ferris, chairman of the congressional democratic cammittee, had chosen to interject a political partisan speech in the proceedings of the house a short time ago. Mr. Gillett stated that un- til that time no partisanship had been apparent. “In no previous war,” said Mr. Gillett, “has there ever been such unanimity or such a suppression of criticism, And I think it is not unfair for me fo suggest tiat at least one- half the credit for that rests with the republicaps. Under the system of our government it is one of the main functions of the minority party to criticisg _and attack. But we have upheld an administration whose elec- tion we strenuously apposed and which has never consuited gv befriended us. Mr. Gillett expressed a warm gppre- iation of the cordiglity and copsid- eration of the Jemocratic side of the house during the year he has been acting flooy leader.
