All the lands on this side of f,/ Jordan up to the boundaries of the 'Lebanon, where for two generations Jif,Turkey has held only nominal sway, ' will have been redeemed. And beyond the Jordan the remnants of the Turkish force are darting wildly about in Gilead and Ammon, seeking desperately an escape from between the British in the Hauran and their Arabic Allies moving north through Moab. There is no way out for the i Turks except over the deadly Arabian desert to the east. Whether they go out into the desert or remain to be made prisoners is alLone to the world. They are thrust out of Palestine, and that stricken land will know their misrule and greed and cruelty no more." Turkey's Record in War. Turkey, which now has been granted an amistice, entered the war in November, 1914, when she severed diplomatic relations with Great Brit, ain, France and Russia. She is the , second or tne uentrai rowers to asK the Allies for an armistice, Bulgaria having been given an armistice which led to unconditional surrender barely four weeks ago. Military operations began against Turkey on November 3, and Great Britain annexed the island of Cyprus. Turkey entered the war a few days after, the German warships Breslau and Goeben had sought shelter in the Dardanelles, which at once was blocked by the, Allied fleet. In April, 1915, Allied troops were landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula, but the campaign failed, and the Allied troops later were withdrawn. The British began a campaign along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in November, 1914. They advanced tr? within less than 1 ftft miles nf Ra? \ ^ , r re / [ have o r y tiors t that has number right, Se next pur v rank dad, but were defeated, retreated to Kut-El-Uamara, where they were I later forced to surrender. Early In 1917 the British renewed the offensive in Mesopotamia and r have continued it successfully ever since, until now they are within a [ few miles of Mosul. ? Turkey sent armies against the British in Egypt and against the RusI sians in the Caucasus. Both camL 1 L paigns had a measure of success at [ first, but the Allies soon drove the Turks back beyond the Turkish frontiers. i For several weeks after the United States declared war on Germany Turkey took no action but on April 21, 1917, she severed diplomatic relations. However, there has never been a declaration of war either by the United States or Turkey. Turkey's war activities, under the leadership of Germanophile Turks, like Enver Pasha, has been marked by the severity with which the Tur?s have treated the subject nationalities in their power. The Turkish army has many Ger-j man officers and the Turkish navy is , controlled by Germans. It was reported several weeks ago that the Germans in Turkey probably would resist if the Turks opened the Dardanelles to the Allies. It is not unlikely that one of the principal provisions of the armistice will be that Allied warships shall occupy the Dar danelles and the Bosphorus and that Allied troops shall take control in Constantinople.
