By the extraordinary valour and endurance of our troops- British, Australian, apd Indian ---- and by two of the finest pieces of generalship in the history of Asiatic warfare, we succeeded in absolutely smashing the Turkieb, arties in Asia. They were organised, drilled, armed and led by German officers, but we crush- ed them in battle, and cleared the Tarks out. of Mesopotamia, Palestine and Syria.

What exactly is the position? Firstly, it is one of great prestige and prestige means much in the

Some months ago I published: în ny diary a letter which I had from a person in South India offering to become a Christian and allow me to get the credit of baptizing him if I would give him Rs 15,000 to stárt a business with. He has since renewed the offer and now writes the following last appeal to me

"In continuation to my letters of previous dates I have nothing to acknowledge."

The third and the only chance, Now I have determined to accept Rs 5,000 (Five Thousand Rupees) as the third and the only chance, and also as a compensa- tion (in advance) to join in Your Lordship's religion without any loss of time, consequently I-re- quest Your Lordship to favour me a reply by Saturday, the 5th instant, whether Your Lordship is willing to accept to my terms or not for half anna stamp is herewith enclosed.

However, this appeal is not, so moring and heart-rending as the following which was sent to an official in the Madras Presidency

A FIELD FOR OUR OFFICERS.

The people would at least acquiesce in our role, and with this acquiescence and the enormous military prestige We enjoy, the task of controlling these countries

trustees for the League

of Nations ought not to be beyond our powers. Among the officers of the old and new armies who have been fighting in these regions for four years and more, we have many tried and experi enced officers. We already have a civil administration working through native agencies in Meso- potamia and Palestine. We have built roads and railways, brought hundreds of thousands of acres under new cultivation, improved water supplies, and maintained courts of justice.

This is exactly the kind of work for which we British are suited. Those who like to see solid material advantage may be sure that the more these countries) come to flourish under our control the more bread there will be for us, and the better able will the inhabitants be to purchase the output of our, factories-cotton goods, machinery and implements. And those who are more inter- ested in the moral aspect of the question will take a pride in help ing an ancient and long-oppressed people to regain their former culture, and take their place once more among the high nations of the world.
