POSISION IN VICINITY
OF SALONIKI
LONDON, Nov. 16—It is being free
ly circulated that Greece will dis
arm her troops in the event the al
lies retreat from their present posi
tion at Saloniki. This report which
is causing *ome uneasiness in offic
ial circles, is said to have been made
by a Greek official whose knowledge
of the situation entitles him to speak
with authority.

gineer named Lenoir has been sen
tenced to five years in prison for

A NEW GERMAN TRICK
LAUSANNE, Nov. 13—According to
news received here from Mutterz,
a heavy consignment of cotton that
arrived there recently is being sent
across the frontier into Germany,
notwithstanding the rigorous meas
ures aginst contraband. The con
signee is said to have received from
Germany about the same time 1,000
large tin boxes. It was noticed that
the cotton was gradully disappear
ing; the tin boxes also. The cotton
compressed in the boxes, found its
Way into the Rhine and was fished
out by the Baden ferryman who
operates the line between Switzer
land Germany a little farther down
stream.
“MOTHER” IN SONG RESTORES
RE\SON TO SOLDIER
LONDON, Nov. 13—The word
“mother” which saves lives and
spares the honor of innocents in the
melodrama, has actually restored
reason to a soldier in France, whose
mind had been left a blank by shell
shock.
A concert party had gone over
from England to cheer up the sick,
and one of their number, a well
known tenor, sang the old favorite,
‘Mother Marchree.” Among the au
dience was a nerve-shattered soldier
who came out of a bombardment not
only blind, but almost an idiot. He
could understand nothing, babbled
•’ninglessly and had to be treated
like an infant. He was still blind
when taken to the concert. The
word “mother” recurred in the song
and the soldier caught at it. When
the song was finished he was still
muttering the word to himself. But
it proved the key to his memory. He
began to recall detached incidents
about himself and later recovered
both his mind and his sight.
Singers visiting the hospitals say
that the wounded like jolly songs
either absurd or of the old fashioned
rollicking kind. They have a par
ticular dislike for the purely patri
otic song that has no humor in it.
PROTECT AMERICA FIRST
What We May Reasonably Expect
When the War Ends
, (From New York Sun)
The commercial dangers to which
this country will be exposed when
the European war ends are obvious.
Americans must be prepared to de
fend their foreign trade and their
domestic markets against an assault
necessitated by the improverished con
dition of their rivals, to whom this
country will offer the immediate op
portunity for rehabilitation. The at
tack will be directed by the most in
telligent merchants, backed by gov
ernments whose necessities will com
pell a co-operation unknown among
us.
In defense of American interests
government may, if It choses, util
ize a number of weapons. The tariff
may be adjusted to the actual con
ditions obtaining in the world, and
not to theories sprung from Utopian
aspirations. The constructive and de
fensive effects of its schedules may
be supplemented by legislation re
strictive to a degree the practice of
“dumping” and unfair competetion
generally. These resources might
easily be comfined to afford protec
tion to American industry and
American commerce so effective
that the nation could escape the
more disastrous consequences of the
raids that will be made upon its
prosperity.
The situation far transcends par
tisanship. It concerns neither Re
publicans nor Democrats in their
theoretical differences. It is of im
mediate, vital and national concern.
To its solution the brains of the
country must contribute, unhamper
ed by possession or prejudice.
America must keep her trade and
preserve her markets, and to accom
plish these things every energy of
the mercantile and political world
must be united, determined and har
monloug.__

“Tl'RK FIGHTS LIKE CHRISTAIN
GENTLEMAN”
--
LONDON, Nov. 13—An enthusias- j
tic tribute to the Turk as an honor
able fighter conies in a letter from :
an Australian officer to a relative in j
London.
"The Australians will hear nothing j
said aginst the Turk,” he wirtes. “I j
want to warn you against the tales
of Turkish atrocities in Gallipoli or
elsewhere. We know all about the
Turk. Haven’t we fought against
’’ini for months? He may be a col
ored infidel, but he fights like a
Christain gentleman. One of our
fellows went out to get a Turk snip
er. Something went wrong and the
Turk got him. But he put up a
good fight against numbers, and the
Turks were so pleased with him that
they dressed his wounds and gave
him a bottle of wine and water and
sent" him back to us.”
The same officer remarks that at
first the English Indian troops re
garded the Australian troops with
contempt, and considered it almost
undignified to be asked to fight a
longside them. “The Gurkhas buck
ed when they were first put be
side us,” he says. “They said that
we were not trained soldiers and
that it was not fair to have to
fight with us. Then we got into a
charge together, and now they ad
miringly call us the white Gurkhas.”

The Return of Miss Petticoat |
After masquerading in various guises—such as the |;
tango=skirt, the sheath like skirts and a host of other varieties ||
«the petticoat is with us again for a season or two. But she
is wonderfully changed. Instead of the old stiff and starchy |,
kind, a mass of muslin, embroidery and lace, we now have a
demure, simple and graceful garment, so necessary for proper |;
lines in the new fall skirt; which is short and swirls about so
| much when one walks or dances.
