The Holy Land a War Camp

By L. L. C.

WAR has invaded even the land where lived the Prince of Peace, according to the following news item, which appeared in the Washington Herald of October 11:—
PARIS, OCTOBER 10.—The Turks have transformed the Holy Land into a huge military training camp, according to refugees who have arrived at Alexandria. All the convents in Jerusalem are now barracks, and thousand-odd recruits daily are drilled on the Mount of Olives and Samaria Plain by German officers. Immense targets have been placed on Mt. Golgotha, the spot where the crucifixion took place, to serve in artillery practice to test the effect of high explosives.
