are devoting their chief attention to
the bombardment of Adrianople and
an attempt to capture the Gallipoli
peninsula and so take the Turkish
forts in the rear,
An official dispatch issued at Con-
stantinople indicates that the Bull
garians have been successful in their
first operations in the latter quarter,
and, according to Sofia dispatch, the
capture OF Gallipoli is the chief OBJ
ject of the Bulgarian ambitions for
the time being and no serious at
tempt viii be made to force the
Tchatalja lines.
The same dispatch says that the
Bulgarian attack on Gallipoli is sup
ported by the Greek navy in the Gulf
of Saros Fifty thousand Bulgarians
were landed along this coast in No
vember and it may be presumed that
during the armistice this force was
strengthened by artillery.
Should the Bulgars capture the Tur-
kish forts there is nothing to prevent
the Greek feet from entering the Oar
danelles, where, in the opinion of
navel officers, it could easily defeat
the inferior Turkish fleet, in which
case Constantinople would be at the
mercy of the allies.

Great was the terror which the
potato beetle spread among farmers
when it first arrived, a still greater
feeling of fear is being produced by a
new potato pest, and even the govern
ment scientists do not try to belittle
the probable effects of the new potato
moth. The pest is especially preva-
lent in California and Texas, the ag-
ricultural department reports, and
through shipments of early potatoes it
is being introduced broadcast through
out the United States. Experts of the
bureau of entomology urge potato
growers to look carefully over the po-
tatoes they dig and destroy every po-
tato and vine that shows the slightest
signs of the moth. Special attention,
they add, should be given to the seed
potatoes, on which the subsequent crop
depends. Fumigation with carbon hi
sulphide is recommended. The scien-
lists utter a warning against careless
methods in planting and harvesting
potatoes and declare that "unless pro

The letter from Rollin s. Childs on
the highway problem, which appears in
today 5 RefOrmer, contains much truth
along with its sarcasm. However, it
is too much to expect that any town
can get along with as small an eXpendi-
ture for roads as was sufficient Is or
20 years ago. The advent of the auto
mobile has made this out Of the ques-
ton. As far as Main street is con
cerned The Reformer is strongly of the
opinion that it must eventually be
paved. An interlocking brick pave
ment such is is used in the principal
streets of Fitchburg, Mass, would no
doubt solve the problem. Such sur
face is much smoother and less noisy
than granite blocks, and at the same
time is capable of withstanding the
heaviest sort of traffic Far too much
money has been wasted already in ex-
perimenting with tar preparations.

DREAD LAST MANS BANQUET.
No Survivor of Company 3, First
Minnesota, Wants to Dine Alone.

The ''last mans banquet has just
been held at Saltwater, Mimi. Eight
men attended, and twenty-three vacant
chairs, draped in black, occupied places
at the table, on which rested a cedar
chest containing bottle of champagne.
Some day, when death has reduced
the veterans of Company B, First Min
nesota, to one man, this survivor will
attend the annual banquet, and after
calling the roll he will drink to the
memory of his thirty gallant comrades
who fought shoulder to shoulder with
him at Bull Run and at Gettysburg.
The sentimental custom began in
1885, ~ hen Louis Hospes, father of one
of : the boys" presented thelwine on
condition that the bottle remain I'M
opened until the last mans banquet"
THAT last banquet is going to be far
more heartrending than any of our
battlefield scenes" said one of the
veterans. And none of US hopes to
hear the cork pop"

the purpose, on top of pan of boiling

ANDING on the Panama canal
zone from the spacious decks
of a government owned steam
er, riding on a government
owned railway, stopping at a govern
ment owned hotel and reading a gov
eminent owned newspaper of life on
the canal zone as conducted almost in
its entirety under government auspices,
one is led to inquire: Has the United
States government gone into socialis-
tic paternalism in that locality, and,
Ii so, has it been a success? SO far
as any evidence has ever been offered
on the subject, writes Leroy Il. Yer
non in the Chicago Daily News, either

Canal Record, the official organ of the

under the authority and supervision
of that body, which furnishes one copy
free to all employees of the canal and

the activity of the government in the
