GERMANS GETTING OUT Several Hundred Thouhand in Alsace> { Lorraiae N««r Suffer. Several hundred thousand Germans in Alsace and Lorraine have begun to experience sufferinjf which equals, if it does not exceed, that which the Germans have inflicted uptfn the na- tives during the past forty-eight years. A great many of them who are holding public offices fiitd their occupations suddenly withdrawn. Many others who were employes of the priblic administrations are liv- ing in daily fear of discharge and the necessity of leaving the country. In addition to these apprehensions, the Germans feel real anguish at the idea of leaving Alsace and Lor- raine. While the Germans succeeded in giving newer parts of towns like Metz a Teutonic architectural as- pect, and have given German tone to town life so far as they partici- pated in it. those Germans who im- migrated or settled there as func- tionaries o» merchants have them- selves undergone mental modifications. "War-Time Cooker)' r" FREE FAMOUS HERO OnfHE EAST ILLENBY'S ETXPLOrrS OBSCURED ! BY VICTORY Mighty Events on Western Front Distracted Attention Fron\ Am- azing Feats in Palestine. At f.ny other time General Allen- by's victories in Palestine and Syria â-  would have made him the most fam- | ou3 man of his day, says the military j critic of the London Times. j So complete was his victory in the | Plain of Esdraelon that after it his ^ advanc. lo Damascus and Aleppo was : abvu usiy ccnditioned, not by any re- ; sistiii'Ce that the Turks could offer, I b-it solely by the success with which \ tue difficulties of transport could be , oYi'ri-'Ti.'- The result is that every- | thins tl'3i General AUenby has since d^nn has been taken for gn^nted, and ; tbL pre.'js of more tremendous events •elsv^whtrc has prevented his e.xploits from being estimated at their real va'iie. There aic two main routes between Asia Minor (which really belongs to the European system of geog-raphy) and Asia proper; one along the shores of the Black Sea, to which belong' Trc'bizond, Erzertkm, and the routes tl'.rovgh northern Armenia into Per- sia, the other along the southern sh'u-e^; of Asia Minor, throush the gates of Silicia into Syria ami Meso- potamia. The occupation of Alex- sii.dtetta would mean that we had de- finitely crossed the pass between the A-«utic Empire of Turkey and its Euv'irtan extension. i The tide of conquest (in this case | we ought rather to say of liberation^ | has u.«ually flowed the other way; but ' 'General Allenby has taken his place in the long roll of generals whose ex- , ploits have been transfigured by the romance of the East. Alexander the Great was not the best soldier of antiquity, but his campaigns have un- ' doubtediy fired the imagination af , more famous soldiers than any other i lampaign in history. | It has taken two British camnaigns j that â-  of Mesopotamia and that of Palestine â€" to cover the span of ! Alexander, but let it never be for- gotten that the British army in this war has covered the span of Alex- ander, and that as a kind of extra to me real food elemen-bs of wheat and baF ley so made as to be rich in su^ar and ready to eat from package with milk or crearr\.Thai /s A Substantial R>od and Economical its chief business on the Western front. Truly, we live in the days of the heroes. Policy in East Defined. There is room for a clearer state- ment that has yet been attempted of the problems of defence in the East, and, above all, it is necessary that the identity of our interests as an Asiatic power with the cause of lib- erty should be vindicated. The tyran- ny which a phrase like imperialism can exercise, even over noble minds, needs very careful exorcising, for on that depend* true appreciation of the true ends of British policy in the East. Briefly, these ends are twofold. In the first place, we desire to maintain our old policy of setting up buffer States between possible enemies and our Indian empire. This buffer state in the past was Turkey, but Turkey hasproved her unfitness, after long and patient trial, to fulfill what was her tnie role in the East. She can never again be •Usted as an imperial power, though it is to be hoped thaf there may be a future for her in the parts of Asia which are still mainly inhabited by peonle of Turkish race. Secondly, in place of the old Turk- ish obligarchy we propose to set up an Asiatic Balkans, consisting of a new Jewish State in Palestine, a new Arabia, an autonomous Armenia, and a revivified Persia. Our system of biiffer States is no longer to rest on alien misrule of a maenifi-'ent estate, but on the creation of a mimber of new States, each renewing its ancient and dressed natriotism in the fires of this woVjd-war. Very imnerf.^ct justice has as yet been done to the grandeur of this political reconstruc- tion even Hn this co'intry; in other countries," and esnecially in America, its e'ements are h-irdly yet grasied even by those who, if our nolicy were bet"{cr understood, wo^dd feel the warmest symnathy towards it. Conditions of Success. What are the conditions of success in the new experiment that wu are making? They are these: First, the#e must be an end of Turkish rule under any form in the provinces of Arabia, of Palestine, Armenia, and Mesopotamia. If we are creating new States in which the experiment of freedom is to be tried, let us do it boldly, and have done once for all with the old policy of relying on Turkey. Oil and water will not mix. By no ingenuity can we reconcile the philo-Turk traditions with the new policy of reconstruction in the Near East. Secondly, more work needs to be done on the diflicult problem, which has, troubled ""thousands of years of statesmen, of the delimitation of frontiers. Whatever political solu- tion is reached, the idea of a condo- minium must be definitely rejected. If we are setting up a Jewish State in Palestine, let us do it whole-heart- edly, in reference alike to the histor- ic^ past of the Jews in Palestine and of the problems of the future de- fence of the country. On such ques- tions as these, which are partly mili- tary, partly political, there is no one who can speak with such authority as General .\llenby, and he should certainly be given a voice in their settlement. Similarly with regard to Armenia and Mesopotamia, no one is more competent to speak on these mixed questions of politics and sti'a- togy than those wlio have taken a part in the direction of the .Meso- potaraian campaign. Cbte's only fear with regai'd ^o the East is that future settlement should depend on accidental and extraneous political circumstances. Those who have made history in I'.ie past and present should make it m the futui-e. It Is for the polkicians to lay down the general conditions â€" in thi.< case the great ideals of our settlement. These should, however, be interpreted by those who know these new coun- tries, their geography, and all that is comprehended in the phrase "poHti- cal sUategy." For Winter Days ® itCCjLU.

MINERAL WEALTH OF BALKANS j Peninsula Can Become Immertsely ' Rich, Says Bed Cross \y>rker. The ivineral deposits in the Balkans '. are of such extent that the Serbs, i Bulgarians, Greeks and Roumanians may make the peninsula immensely rich after the war if they quit ftght- ing and settle down to business," says a Red Cross worker who spent eight months with the Allied armies. "Why, the principal pastime of a lot of French soldiers there was wash- ing out the gold from the river bot- toms. The mountains are rich in coal, copper, zinc, lead, gold, silver, iron and oil. This is particularly true , of the territory claimed by the Serbs. Last winter the soldiers about Mon- astir kept themselves warm by dig- ging coal. I saw one group of sol- ; diers dig holes two feet down and strike a six-inch vein of coal, a-id on ' digging further down they struck a ' vein which did not give out after a ' depth of eighteen feet. | "In going about amon,g the poor ' families of the country I frequently found them in possession of pieces of almost pure gold. They told me they had picked it up out of the beds of , nearby streams. | ".\ustria and Germany expected to open up the East by their Bagdad j railway and pick up the Balkan wealth as thoy went along. I "The only way to settle the Balkan question seems to me along racial \ lines, making the Serbs an independ- ; ent State. I am of Serb origin my- self and have studied the question. The Serb State ought to have its boundaries determined by a neutral commission speaking the language and going carefully over the ground. If this is not done, if the bouadaries are deterniined arbitrarily, there will be more trouble. "The Serbs have not yet lost their spirit, despite all their war troubles. During the last advance on the Bul- gars and Germans the Serb soldiers fought savagely, and when wounded let the surgeons operate on them witli- out flinching, despite the absolute lack of ether or chloroform. All the wounded asked was a cigarette during the operation*." - GRANDMA. Grandma in the good old days Had such calm and Hacid ways! Silvery hair and gentle smile.

Attention has been directed so largely to submarine losses, that the severe losses among destroyers have not attracted much notice; but they ; arc heavy. Thus the destroyers of ' all the allies lost from all causes during the four years of war are: Great Britain, 58; France. 9; Italy, 5; United States, 2, and Japan, 2. This makes a total of the allies of 76. During the same period. Premier Lloyd George tells, us, the Germans lost 150 submarines, and this is gen- erally believed to be about equal to their jprescnt total force. The enemy therefore has lost twice as many units as have the allied destroyer forces that have been hunting him down. But the great superiority of the hunter over the hunted is shown by the fact that while the Germans have lost loO U-boats out of three hundred, the allies have only lost 7$ destroyers out of more than one thousand.
