railroads flinders the military opera tions of the Russians. The Polish campaign is slow because of the long marches the troops must make to go from one section of the big battle field to another. The Germans are also somewhat handicapped for the same reason, but can use the strat- egic military railroads along the frontier for the massing of troops at any point from Konigsberg to Cracow. It is for this reason that the Russians continue to fall back at each successive invasion of the Ger mans into Poland.
 No Change In France.
 In spite of the fact that 300,000 men have been killed since Novem- Der 1 in the fighting in France, the allies occupy the same positions to- day they did six weeks ago.

ADMIRAL EVANS
 |S DELAYED
Reported That Crack Admiral Liner Hit Bird Reef In Port Gra-
 ham Harbor.

The report was received here this afternoon on the steamer Mariposa that the Admiral Evans had hit Bird reef in Port Graham harbor, and that she had been beached at the first port and was being repaired. The injury is not serious but the captain of the ship would take no chances at this time of the year and placed the boat on the beach to ascertain the damage and make repairs. The plates which have been bent are to be reinforced and a cement inner core built to keep the water out. The Ev- ans is double bottom ship and only one skin was broken.
 The boat struck during a heavy snowstorm. The steamer was going under a slow bell and did not hit hard. The order to reverse the en- zines soon put the ship out of dan- ger.
 The wireless report of the accident received by the Mariposa indicated that the delay would be a matter of two days.

Germans Get Achievements.

PETROGRAD, Dec. 16.-The Ger mans on the left bank of the Vistula have received strong endorsements. A general engagement is on at the Russian center. From the junction of the Bsura river to Petrokow the troops are engaged. The German loss es have been heavy. The Russian positions are holding and more troops are constantly being pushed forward from mobilization centers to the con- flict. A great Russian victory is ex- pected. The Germans at Soldau have retired behind the line of frontier forts and the Russian army operat- ing in that region has started by forced marches for the Vistula, at Flock, where they will strike at the German rear. Only enough Russians were left at Mlawa to prevent the Germans returning into Poland.

HISTORY OF BELGRADE.

Belgrade, the capital of Servia, has long and varied military history. It is situated on lofty promontory at the confluence of the Save and Danube, and dominates entirely the low-lying plains on all sides. This excellent strategic and tactical posi- tion has made it fortress of i'm portance from the earliest times.
 Belgrade was un until the recent wars the most important commercial town of Servia, but it's exposed po- sition has led to the belief that if the war had not broken out last sum- mer the capital of the kingdom would have been transferred to Us kub or Skoplje, the capital of the ancient Serb empire reconquered from the Turks in 1912. Belgrade in 1912 had a population of about 10000 peo- pie. Since the Servians became in- dependent the town has made con- siderable progress, and now has sev eral good hotels and number of fine public buildings, among them the New Konak, or palace, built to re- place the one in which King Alex ander and Queen 'Draga were mur- dered in 1903 The beautiful Kale- megdan Park, overlooking the Dan. ube, is one of the principal features of the town at present The city's street car lines employ cars purchas- ed from the Philadelphia Street Rail- ways Company some years ago. The need of improving the condition of the streets of Belgrade was so ob. vious that in the fall of 1911 con- prehensive plan was laid out and all the streets torn up, but only one had been rebuilt when the Balkan war broke out and money failed for pub lie improvements. It is a question now whether the rest will ever be finished.
 At the beginning of the present war the Servian capital was moved to Kraguyevatz, in the interior, and later to Nish. The Austrians began the attack on Belgrade on July 29, bombarding the town both from bat teries near Semin and from monitors on the Danube. Within a few days most of the city was in ruins and practically all of the non-combatants had fled The Servians held out, nev- ertheless, and early in September, during temporary paralysis of the Austrian offensive, they succeeded in driving the besiegers out of Semlin. This advantage was later lost and the Austrians have continued the attack all through the autumn and finally captured the city two weeks ago, on- ly to lose it again.

Turks Bombard sevastopoI.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 16.-Reports from Berlin state that the Turkish warships have again bombarded the Russian Black Sea port of Sevasto- pol. The amount of damage is not reported, but is believed to have been light, as the forts at the entrance to the bay would be able to keep the warships some distance off shore and thus the effect of the bombardment would be slight.

FISH IN DEATH PR0CESSi0@
Salmon Swim to the Headwater3 tO Spawn, ard Never Return
 to the Sea.

Nobody ever saw a Pacific coast salmon more than seven years old, although some spring salmon have been caught that weighed almost 100 pounds.
 The salmon run in the rivers of Brit ish Columbia is a funeral procession, This applies to five out of six mem fly The sixth member is a small spe- cios related to the trout. The five other species visit the spawning grounds only once and then die. The salmon always spawns in fresh water, as far up from the sea as it can get, near the sources of the river. The young fish agree with the current, and this accord takes them back to the salt sea.
 The salmon inhabits the sea until 1t is a grown-up fish and feels the strong influence of the mating instinct This, like the sex impulse of the bee, is a message of death.
 Then the salmon mate and begin their nuptial voyage up the rivers to the spawning beds. It Is no exaggera- tion to say that the beautiful fish in whose bodies life runs rich and strong, meet their death after a desperate honeymoon of struggle and suffering, which lasts only a few weeks. They do not take food after they leave the salt water. They are like the lovers in the Greek poem whose passion was so great they forgot to take nourish- ment and died of starvation, a TO- mantle death.
