Pistress has vanished and sickness and fear no longer are at' the thresholds of the towh and villages. Everywhere there ig evidence of reviving indus- try and prosperity. What has con- tributed more than anything else to immediate relief has been the em- ployment of thousands of natives upon the repair of roads, "Entire households work together fn little groups breaking stone and drawing fair wages which are paid regularly. The roads in the neigh- borhood of the bigger towns are lined sometimes for miles with busy labor- ers, Christian, Moslem and Jews; men, women and children. Road making and repairing provides an oc- cupation for all who are able to work. "mverybody realizes that a new era has dawned for this land.

The roads which are being built solidly in every direction, and the railway to Egypt, will ihsure them easy disposal of thelr surplus yield, and the means of satisfying their wants as regards im- ports from abroad. "The benefits of a rule of liberty and justice are making themselves felt, and the people are beginning to feel a lively gratitude to the Bri- tish soldier, who moves in their midst, showing them nothing but li! kindness and good-nature."

" DODO rg 0 British Were Tortured By the Brutal Germans, Seys Sir A, Conan Doyle re pp Sr lr rrr Or pp Lr llr le" IR Arthur Conan Doyle, the author, writing to The London Times from his bomé in Sus Sex, says:--- . *1 had occasion recently to talk with a British officer who had endur- ed captivity in. Germany, With a voice which was husky with passion, trembling with the violence of his own feelings, he told me what he and bis comrades had gone through. 1 bad read such things in cold print, but to hear them from one who had seen and felt them had an indescrib- able effect. 1 was trembling as he was before he had finished. "This officer, of senior regimental rank, a man of dignity and refins- ment, was taken wounded at the end of 1914. With his comrades in cap- tivity he was starved during the long two days' Journey from the front to his prison. At one spot, he thinks that it was Cologne, a soup canteen upon wheels was rolled up to their compartment in order to mock them. Stil] starving and suffering tortures from their wounds, they reached the town of their captivity. Weak, shak- en, and unnerved, they assembled outside the station, hardly able to stand after their dreadful journey. "What ensued can only be describ- ed in his own forcible words. 'They kicked out behinds all the way up the street. There was not one of us who bad not his behind kicked.' These were British officers, honor- able gentlemen, many of them wound- ed, now helpless under circumstances which have 'in all ages appealed to the chivalry of the captors. And we, when a German flier is caught red- banded with his apparatus ready for the murder of the civilians of Lon- don, hurry him away that he may have a hot supper, "This officer was, as I was told by a third party, a witness of the dread- ful incident of the burning hut. One of the huts in the prison camp took fire, It wads night, and the door had been locked on the outside. The key could not be found: One of the in- mates, a sallor, tried to get out through the narrow window. "The sentry of the hut rushed for- ward. The prisoners who were spec- tators thought that he was about '» draw the man through. What he ac- tually did was to puss his bayonet through the sailor's throat. I am told that the horrified onlookers dropped om their knees, men of all the allied countries, and swore to God that so long as they lived they would never show mercy to any man of German blood. Cdn we blame them? Would we not have felt the same? "Why should we 'recall these inci- dents? It Is because hate has its uses. In war, #8 the Germans have long discovered. It steels the mind and sets the resolution as no other emotion can do. So much do they feel this that the Germans are con- strained to invent all sorts of reasons for hatred against us, who have in truth never injured them in any way savé that history and geography both place 'us between them dnd their ambitions. To nourish hatred they in- vent every lie against us, and so they attain a certain national solidity. We bave the true reasons for this emo- tion, we have suffered Incredible things from a foe who is void of all chivalry and humanity. ~ "Many of us could conceive of a peace 'which incluled some compro- niise upon frontiers, so long as Bel- gium was intact. Many also would be content to sacrifice Russia, if she per- sisted in her treason. But not one who knows the facts bat would fight to the last gasp in order to ensure stern justice being done to the mur- derers of our women and to the men who tortured our helpless prisoners. "What then should we do? should have a statement drawn up, net coldly official but humanly mov- ing, signed by the officers who saw and endured these things, This docu- ment should be translated into Ger- man and put under the nose of every prisoner in England, that they may at least appreciate the contrast in the culture of the two countries, "At present we are so pedanti- cally correct in our 'treatment of these prisoners that when at an ear- Her stage of the war 1 made the sug- gestion that we place, a copy of 'J'accuse' in every prison, it was re- fused on the grounds that it was against international law to prosely- tise prisoners.

Finder please return (0 nearest Russian Gov. ernment, No gestions asked." Wiat bas become of tho®e great Russian , forces under Grand Duke Nicholas which captured Erzerum Trebizond and Ertiugan meariy two years ago? The newspapers are silent. Evidently the armies #&re not Aghting, or we should have heard of it from the Turks. Even if they were retiring be- fore the Turks we should have re- ports, If they bad broken up and made thelr way back home we should also have heard of it ic the news that the country they occupied in their me- morable marches had beex evacuated, There is a possibility, though it seems remote, that these armies have re- mained intact and are menacing the safety of cities deep in the Otloman Empire--Sivas, Diarbekr, Angora, But what organization in Russia has been feeding the armies, sending the men their pay, shipping ammunition? It seems more likely that the lost army has had to support itself for some months past. . Somewhere in Armenia and the districts further south there must be at least the remnants of that great host led by the Grand Duke Nicholas and Gen. Judenich, a soldier who won a great name for himself in the oper. ations against the Turks, The last mention of the army was contained in a five-line despatch from - Petro- grad, October 5, 1917, which told of the capture of a village 50 miles north of Mosul, one of the most important Turkish cities in Asia. It was then thought that the Russian army meant to try to co-operate with the British army, which had followed up the cap- ture of Bagdad by that of Ramadlie, 60 miles to the northeast. Not a word have we heard since of the Russians either from themselves or from the British. If is longer still since word has come of the Russian army 'oper ating around Hamadan and Kerman. shah. Last July.a bulletin was issted mentioning this powerful force. Then the veil fell. It is remarkablelthat no word has come from Petrograd. 1s there a special significande in the censorship hiding the movements or the inactivity of the Russian army in-Armenia? In 1916 the Russian campaign against Turkey was at full tide. Ona February 15. Erzerum, the great Armenian stronghold of the Turks, fell to the Grand Duke and 40,000 Turks and 1,600 guus were captured as well as tremendous stores, It was Look gil SHAT. the Russian army then n Ted about 300,000, and its mo- rale was equal to its numerical strength, one of the most brilliant features of the capture being the storming of some of the forts at the point of the bayonet. - After Erge- rum, the Ryssian army costinued to press forward along the Black Sea coast and further inland. These joint operations culminated on February 17 in. the capture of Trebizend., This event wus hailed in all the allied countries as a victory of first-rate im- portance, and eyes were then turned toward Constantinople, which seemed to be menaced, especially since the Russian fleet took an important part in the operations, The Russians kept advancing and one. alter another Balburt, Erzingan, Bitlis"and Mush were taken. It was a sort of. triumphal procession, and at the same time the Russians in Persia were fighting their way to join the British in Mesopotamia, who were also advancing. It seemed then that when the Russians effected a june- tion with Sir Stanley Maude's army and Bagdad fell that the chief Turk- tsh forces would be caught between the twp allied armies and made to surrender. These high hopes were not fulfilled, but Turkish prestige was never so low since 'the begin. ning of the war as in those early months of 1916. As late as. last April the Rus¢sians in Mesopotamia had re- captured Kbanikin, and - about the same time the army in Armenia took the important city of Van..

It is true that the revolutionary blight had fallen upon Russia, but after that Korniloff made a memor« able smash against the Teutons. This was followed by stories of trouble be- tween Kerensky and Korniloff, and the rising of the latter against the revolutionists. His defeat followed, and later on came the overthrow of Kerensky by Lenine and Trotzky, It was hoped by the allies that the Asia- tic armies, Being far removed from the anarchy that was spreading through Russia, would be able to continue, that they would be under the influence of their British com- rades in arms rather than under the influence 'of the Bolsheviki. Whether this assumption was justified, we have no means of knowing. No news comes of the Russian armies, They may have settled down, embraced Mobammedanism and hecome Turk. ish subjects. Even this would be better than to embrace what now ap- pears to be the ruling religion in Russia, About Temperature. The best authorities on the science of meteorology tell us that without the various changes in the tempera ture there would be a perfect calm at all time in all parts of the globe. A uniform and unvarying barouretrie pressure would everywhere prevail, and there would be no change of sea- sons, no evaporation or condensatioa, no clouds, and no rain. In short, with- out changes of temperature, which we sometimes think so uncomfortable, \he atmosphere would soon become poisonous, stagnant and Incapable ot sustaining human life.
