It is only natural that the fact that julgaria has dropped out of the war should inspire the belief that Turkey oon te follow, This is not be- e Turks and Bulgars are thor- n sympathy with each other’'s that one will follow where the ther leads because of the loca- tion of the countrfes. The very fact Bulzaria surrenders uncondition- he allies, giving up its rail; their but roads to use and stopping afi means of communication between jermany and Turkey, shuts Turkey {f from the source of its supplies. hout Germany and Austria, Tur- in no position to carry on the t was experiencing difficukties hile Bulgaria was in the war ilroad communication gone is high and dry, wkich taken nto consideration with the fact that t is being so hard pressed by the al- lied armies makes it evident that it cannot attempt to carry on the war. But in addition to this Turkey is fact not oniy menaced by the al- les who now have a greater advan- tage but there is an added menace from Bulgaria, for there is at the present time no love lost between those two mations. They have been threatening to syring at each other's 1 ats over the division of the Ru- manian spoils and now DBulgaria is ous to join with the alliles In figh Turkey. It is thus quite in keeping with the facts that Turkey should want to get of the war. The quicker it can do it the better ther position it will be in, and it will not be surprising if it makes the same surrender that Bulgaria has most any day. FIGHTING DISHONESTY. It doesn't makes any difference where it exists, whether it is in mu- nicipal affairs or in a big corporation, wherever and whenever fraud or or- canized stealing ia known to exist It is time that determined steps should be taken to stop the plundering and to punish those who are involved. Such is what is being done at the pri time in the arrest and prose- cution of stewards, chefs and waiters on the dining cars of the New Haven road. It has been found that these employes have been engaged in a sys- trmatic and well planned scheme of defrauding the company out of thous- ands of Qollars through dishonest practices.

Palestine a partieularly dif- Aesm eountry w fight in or to flee from. The land is rough and moun- tanious, there are few roads and water supply is very inadenuate. Fif- ty miles back from the Mediterranean coast lie the Sea of Galiles, the River Jordan and the Dead Sea. This val- ley is a regular crack in the earth's surface from 700 to 1300 feet below the level of the Mediterranean, yet this is only balf the story. Between the sea coast and the Jordaun valley lies a rugged and broken range of hilis, some of them nearly 4000 feet high, and these fall steeply to the deep crack of the river valiey. Thus Jerusalem though but fourteen miles from the Dead Sea stands 3800 feet abpve its surface. The Jordan valley effectually divides Palestine into two distant areas. It was up the western that General Allenby swept with his An- glo-Indian force driving all before him. Beersheba, Garza, Hebron and Jerusalem had fallen, one by one, but with the Holy City at last in Chris- tian hands Allenhy stepped and en- trenched. The world dpes not yet know whether this was by reason of ihe hot Palestine summer or because Fngland could no longer support him while straining every nerve to with- stand the German onrush in France.
