DEFILING THE HOLY LAND.

The Hun Headquarters at Golgotha ! SURELY nothing could .be more, appropriate than that the exponents of the doctrine of "frightfulness" should be training Turkish soldiers at Golgotha—Golgotha, the "Place of Skulls." All Palestine, the cable informs us, is overrun by Huns just now. They are, it seems, training the gentle Turk for a new "On, On to Cairo" campaign ! No doubt .in the new onslaught in the Land of the Pharoahs the" Huns will employ some of those gallant fellows in fezzes who have recently been' murdering the unhappy Armenians,, mutilating the youths arid violating the women and girls. What splendid raw material" for the fine spirit of Hun mili 7 tar ism to work»upon, and how singularly. delightfully appropriate the choice of a training ground! . Golgotha, the Place of Skulls! Deep down in Hell His Satanic '• Majesty must now be chuckling grimly over this latest exposition of the Kaiser's gift of sardonic humour! With the murderers and ravishers from Armenia well trained by Hun "officers, even the Belgian atrocities may yet sink into comparative insignificance.
