From Paris and
the French News -
Via Journal des Débats -
Were Turkish
maneuvers,
Intended to
target Egypt in November.
An equipped army
undergoing
Training, with
2000
German officers.
Across Syria with
Turkish military.
Since the height
of summer,
All preparations had
Been made
ready,
For the new
season in November.
A starting point for equipped
And well-fed troops,
In Beersheba city -
Situated on the desert's edge.
With a Turkish railway constructed,
water supplies created,
made by requisitioned
Syrian pipes and cement materials.
9 August saw the rail complete,
Under Meissner
Pasha,
A German Engineer;
Cutting Lebanon
forests for fuel.
