EUROPEAN WAR BROUGHT
MISERY TO HOLY LAND
BERNE.—Several Swiss subjects
who have arrived from Palestine and
Syria have interesting information to
give about what is going on there.
Putting these various accounts to
gether, there can be no doubt mat
ters in the Holy Land are literally
topsy-turvy.
The existence of strained relations
between Turkish and German officers
is confirmed by these neutral ob
servers, as is also the fact that the
holy war is a fiasco. The Moslems
in general are highly discontented
and ask nothing better than to see
t the war cease if only because of the
extremely heavy requisitions which
are being made. Poor enough at any
time, those people are now reduced
to the extremity of misery, the Turks
|
and Germans having commandeered
all the chief necessaries, not merely
camels, mules, horses, and cattle of
all descriptions, but also wheat, bar
ley, paraffin, butter, sugar, and cof
fee, to say nothing of money.
Whatever may be the result of the
Turkish campaign elsewhere. It cer
tainly has caused misery in Palestine
and Syria. Even the German officers
themselves probably scarcely believe
•any good will come out of the desert
march toward the Suez Canal to at
tack Egypt, the difficulties of such
an enterprise being too great, and
much time having already been lost
during which It has been possible to
make arrangements for the defense
of the canal.
Corruption never has been worse
than at present in the countries un
der Ottoman rule. Abdul Hamid’s
government was bad, but that of the
Young Turks Is far worse, and the
people of Palestine and Syria know
this and are looking for deliverance
which seems to them long In com
ing. If a British force of 100,000
troops were to land at Beirut and
Jaffa the people would welcome them.
Change of program at the Orph
eum tonight. All good pictures.
ALASKA ROAD FUND
BEEN INCREASED
Compromise Committee Reports Fa
vorably On Appropriation of
$165,000 for Roads.
Capt. Edgerton, engineer officer of
the Alaska road commission, has re
ceived wflrd that the compromise
committee of the Senate and House
has passed the Alaska road items in
the Army Appropriation bill amount
ing to $165,000.
The measure as passed by the Low
er House provided the customary ap
propriation of $125,000 for building
and maintenance of roads and trails
in Alaska under the supervision of
the Alaska road commission. When
the bill came up in the Senate Sen
tor Jones, of Washington state, at
tached an amendment Increasing the
Alaska road item to $200,000, an ad
ditional $75,000. The increased ap
propriation was passed by the Sen
ate and sent to the conference com
mittee, for consideration before being
reported back to the House, for final
•ratification.
The joint committee evidently com
promised on Senator Jones’ amend
ment and . approved of the measure
carrying $165,000, having shaved $35,
000 from the Senate’s appropriation.
This sum, in addition to the usual
revenue received from the Alaska
road fund, it is believed, will bring
the aggregate up to $250,000 for the
season’s expenditures.
