tue struggle meant Turkey's death,
us tue states of Koumania and Bul
garia would be almost sure to follow
her lead. This would mean that
Turkey would be attacked from every
side uud would be incapable of de

held her own in the Dardanelles be
cause she has been able to send her
somiers there to keep the forts heav
ily garisoned. but if Koumania at
tacks from the ronth and Italy and
Bulgaria from the west and south,
she must fall. Kealizing this the
council has authorized David to go
to Berlin, and from there make his
arrangements for getting Turkey out
of the muddle she is in with as good
grace as possible.

THE ADVENTURES OW KATHLYN
Kathlyn Williams will be seen in
her fifth adventure at the Dream to
night. The last time we left her in
prison with her father. She lias
been found by the American limiter,
and with the aid of a few jungle
beasts, such as tigers, monkeys, leop
ards, elephants, and camels, she is
freed from the under ground cell,
taken to a place of safety until her
father has been released, which is a
clever piece of work. After the re
union in the jungle they start for the
coast on elephants and camels. Their
escape is discovered, and they are
persued by a band of natives. After
a strenous tramp, they put up for the
night only to be set upon by their
persuers, and during the conflict
Kathlyn is shot. These pictures never
