MAY BE NEW MAN BEHIND OUR GUNS

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Dec. 29. The Springfield Union prints the following: "Dr. Clarence D. Ussher, the famous medical missionary to Turkey, who Is well known to Springfield people, describes in his book, 'An American Physician in Turkey,' the palace of the Kaiser Wllhelm in Jerusalem, which has just been captured by the British army. Dr. Ussher, who visited that city in 1913, was told that this palace was to be the place where the Kaiser would reign as head of his world-kingdom. He writes: "In 1913, on my way to the meeting of the Medical Missionary Association of Turkey in Jerusalem. I visited Jaffa. Frof Jaffa I saw in the distance a high tower, and on inquiring what it was was informed that it was the tower of the German hospice on the Mount of

Olives. I gained access to the building and found it a magnificent and palatial structure covering several acres of ground. There was in it a large throne room with a raised dlas and behind this a beautiful mosaic picture of Frederick Barbarossa with his beard grown through the table as In the legend. On the right-hand wall was the

portrait of the Empress of Germany and on the left-hand wall the royal arms of Prussia. There was a powerful searchlight in the tower which commanded a view of the Mediterranean, the Dead, Sea and the River Jordan. It was whispered to me that there were cannon in the basement, smuggled in as 'machinery,' and from the tower was pointed out to me a double row of wire entanglements about the building. "Surprised and puzzled by all this I saiy: "Tell me truly. I can not believe that so elaborate and costly a building is meant simply as an inn for pilgrims. Who built it? What is its ultimate purpose?" "They informed me that it had been built and paid for by Kaiser Wilhelm and dedicated by the crown prince a few months previously. When again I inquired its ultimate purpose, I was told It was to be 'first, the palace of the Gerrnan Governor of Palestine.' ' " 'And then?' I queried, 'and then? , ' 'And then of the Kaiser himself, from which he will rule his world kingdom.' "I laughed at this point and got no further Information. "I considered their final statement so absurd that I did not even discuss it with my English friends in Jerusalem, and ridiculed it in my letters home of which fact I have been reminded since I came to America. I thought differently about the incident1

two years later when I read Rohrbach's 'German World Policies," in which he argues that the Turks and Germans are the same race and ought to be together, and in which he outlines Germany's plan for Turkey. From perusal of this and of Bernhardi's 'Britain as a Vassal of Germany.' 'I Accuse,' by a German, and Van Houtte's 'The Pan-Germanic Crime.' I was persuaded that the cry 'Berlin to Bagdad' did not mean a railroad, but Prussian rule from Berlin to Bagdad as a preliminary to world-rule. "In July, 1914, a Turkish Vali told me of our American missionaries in Harput that a general European war was about to begin. The Turkish army was mobilizing even then."

Underfeeding Makes London Horses Droop

LONDON, Dec. 14 (Mail)-.-Under-feeding and overwork are malting London's horses undersized, droop-legged, gaunt-ribbed and sad-looking, like Don Quixote's Rosinant?. The ordinary pre-war ration of a draught horse was 35 pounil3 of forage, including twenty pounds of corn. The maximum ration now is sixteen pounds, which Is the minimum a horse can work on, according to horse authorities. The worst of it, say these authorities. Is that a great many horses are not. even getting the minimum ration.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29. For grenade throwing on the menaced west front in France baseball players are wanted by the Chicago office of the British-Canadian recruiting mission. Men of British or Canadian citizenship and man

agers are asked to help the volunteering of their men, who can qualify. J "Baseball players can do better at i grenade throwing than other men, of j

course, said a bulletin of the recruiting mission. ' They have the strength of arm necessary to throw far and accurately. It is far more important to have good men throwing grenades at the Huns than to build up a winning team for 1918. All recruiting depots want the right men for Canadian infantry. "We can take ordinary laborers and teach them in ten days to put grenades into a four-foot hole at thirtyfive yards, but this is a day of specializing."
