II is evident that the allies, as we'll
as the Turks, are concealiDg their re-
verses. While at all the capitals OF the
allies reports OF continued successes
are being given out. the Turkish gov
erumeut is also claiming victories. If
the Bulgarian report is true that the
bombardment OF Adrianope has al
ready begun and that two forts have
been captured, the Turkish claims oil
triumphs near Kirk kilisseb probably
arc not well founded.

A Marathon race up q mountain In
the Swiss Alps Is test Of endurance
to which only the most vigorous
among professional mountaineers
would care to submit themselves.
The first event of this kind took
place the other day, and despite the
obvious difficultiea, proved great sue

Stanserhorn; e.236 feet aboye the sea
level. and the difference in altitude to
be covered was roughly 400 feet; the
starting point, the little town of STAINS.
being some 1900 feet above the sea.
About 1900 spectators took the
funicular railway up the mountain
side, or made leisurely ascent on
foot to cheer the winner, who proved
to be Karl Hug. young Swiss Alpin-
list of Alpnach, his time being hour
and minutes. The second arrival
took eight minutes longer, and the last
of the SO competitors finished As min

The promoter OF the race was .
wealthy German who has offered val
liable prizes and who rather fancied
himself for the championship. He was
greeted with sympathetic cheers when
he arrived, putting and blowing at the
goal, half an hour after the last COM
petitor, and innocently asked 'if any
of them had been sighted yet,"--New
