Takinu Up Italian.

Now that German is being ousted
from the curriculum of some Of Eng
lands secondary schools, possibly
Italian may be inserted in it's place
Such an alteration would have been
cordially welcomed by Gladstone. "A
favorite topic with Mr.. Gladstone
writes the present head master OF
Elton, twas the preference in English
education of German to Italian. He
used to deplore it, saying that when
he read Dante he felt that he was In
the hands of a master, but that the
Germans had produced no first-rate
literature Sometimes his interlocu;
tor would object that Goethe was a
first-rate writer. The rejoinder was
Certainly not Goethe created a
world without any conception OF
duty Sometimes a discussion would
arise on this point, but l never heard
that it reached any conclusion. Pail

Turks in Revolt.

Bucharest, Nov. 14-The newspa-
pers state that the revolt in the Turk
ish army against its German officers
is increasing. Two of these officers
at Constantinople and three at Ad-
rianople have been killed. On the
night of October % a great explosion
occurred at the palace of Enver
Pasha, who escaped.
London, Nov. 13.-A wireless dis
patch from Berlin says an official
statement from Constantinople reports
that the Russians are retreating on
the entire Transcaucasian frontier,
and that the Turks are pursuing on all
sides.
1.-THE Turkish armies have succeed
ed in completing the attack which
commenced yesterday" says the dis
patch "The Russians were unable to
hold their second line more than a
day and a half. With the help of
Allah the enemy was forced to evacu-
ate it's positions and is retreating
along the entire front, pursued by our
forces on all sides"

British RattEeshlp Sunk.

New York, Nov 1.-two men who
were aboard the liner Olympic when
it rescued the members of the crew Of
the lost dreadnaught Audacious to-
night told a dramatic story of Great
Britain's latest naval disaster. Their
story establishes these facts:
The Audacious was crippled by the
explosion of floating mine which it
struck.
At the time of the disaster the Au-
dacious was not cruising alone, but
several other big warships of the Brit
fish navy were in the vicinity.
The battleship was blown up and
sunk by the British cruiser Liverpool
when 1t became apparent the vessel
was hopelessly crippled and the eff
forts of the Olympic to tow it into
shoal waters had failed. This was
done to remove danger to navigation
caused by the floating hull.
The Audacious was completed in
1913, with her sister ship, the Ajax,
and was a dreadnaught OF the King
George class. Her displacement was
$4,000 tons, her length over all 500
feet. She was equipped with ten
131s-inch guns, 20 four-inch guns and
three 21-inch torpedo tubes.

Transmitting Light by Wire.

Deputy Consul General Carl E. Loop
of London reports that DR.. Archibald
M Low, consulting engineer,
claims to have discovered novel
method for transmitting light by wire,
the contrivance including a transmit
ter, receiver, and a connecting wire,
with the transmitter a screen divided
into a large number of selenium cells
whose electrical resistance varies &C
cording to the light striking it.
A spontaneously running roller Is
passed over the screen and includes
a number of alternating conductors
and insulators, a motor driving the
rollers at high sped.
The Invention is referred to by the
inventor as a kineomatographic ap,
plication of common electrical prin-
ciples, and while it has been tested to
the equivalent of four miles, the in
ventor sees no reason why it should
not be effective for greater dis.
tances.

United States Not to Interfere.

Washington, Nov. 14.-The United
States will not interfere with Great
Britain and France if they determine
to settle with Colombia and Ecuador
for alleged violations of neutrality in
allowing German steamers to coal or
permitting wireless stations to give
news to German warships.
That violations of neutrality exist
was denied to the state department
by the Colombian and Ecuadorean
legation. Chile has already proved
to Great Britain that she had not VIC
lated neutrality, either by the use of
wireless or favoritism to merchant
ships of any of the belligerents.
1t was freely admitted at the state
department that the Monroe doctrine
may become involved if Great Britain
and France should determine to in.
vestigate with their warships whether
there were illegal wireless stations on
the Colombian coast or there was
an active base of supplies and wire

FOR THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE
some thoughts Concerning That Time
OF Tribulation Known as "Mov.
:nu Day.

On moving day take a little tip
from mother and:
Don't expect to find everything in
its usual place until the van arrives.
Some transfers are superstitious
about moving a gas range with a meal
cooking on top of it.
Don't kick if you can't find the low
er half of your favorite suit. Prob
ably mother is wearing it.
Don't object if mother rolls you out
of bed in the morning by pulling the
sheet from under you She has doubt
less packed all the tablecloths.
Don't raise a row if your watch is
missing. The baby has to have some
thing to keep him quiet.
Don't complain if you find your box
of choice cigars nearly empty. The
iceman had to be tipped yesterday for
helping to move the furniture so
mother could take up the rugs. It's
a safe gamble that the grocery boy
will get the rest of them today.
Don't be too fussy about what you
have for breakfast Tomorrow you
may have to eat what you leave to-
day.
Don't be surprised if you find the
house locked when you bring an I'm.
expected friend home to dinner after
telling mother you will eat down
town yourself. You will find the
family at the restaurant around the
corner. '..
Don't wonder why mother is a trif1e
irritable when you return at midnight
from a pleasant evening at the club,
and find her still on the job, doing
things she had asked you to do. Some
things get on a woman's nerves.
Don't be annoyed if there is no
answer to your telephone call in the
middle of the afternoon. The phone
isn't out of order. The children are in
school and mother is out doing the
errands you promised to attend to and
forgot.
Don't grumble if the dinner looks
rather picked-uppish after you have
said you didn't know whether you
would come home to it or not. indie
cision has wrecked greater things
than dinners.-Detroit Free Press.

Allies Hold Positions.

London, Nov. 14-From the Lys to
the sea the battle of Flanders was
carried to the Germans, the French
British and Belgians having resumed
the offensive at several points as soon
as the energy of the German effort
gave signs of being spent.
Ypres was the center of the most
ferocious fighting. Where on Wednes-
day the Germans, by force of superior
attack to force their way into Ypres,
from which they were expelled with
enormous losses on Thursday morning,
and where on Thursday night the al
lies had only been able to hold their
own against the rapidly waning Ger
man attack during the day the allies
took the offensive and hurled the en-
envy back to the east. north and south.
Germans Still in Dixmude.
An aggregate gain of nearly four
miles was made by the allies attack.
To the east hamlet from which the
allies were driven on Wednesday was
retaken
In Dixmude the German detach-
ments are still anchored
The key position-Ypres-is still
held by the British troops, who have
withstood attacks of unexampled vio-
lence with unwavering courage for
nearly four weeks.
South of Ypres is Armentieres,
around which the battle has been con-
tinuing with undiminished energy for
a fortnight. The allies occupy posi-.
tions east of the town, and between
their lines and those of the Germans
an artillery duel of violent character
is being fought.
The battle of the Aisne has been
revived. !, nd is being refought, though
with obviously diminished numbers.
Allies Progress Slight.
In the official report of the opera.
lions before Tracy-le-Val, which the
French have gained after enormous
losses on both sides, there is a qualifi.
cation from which a bit of humor
might be extracted in less gruesome
circumstances. The statement says:
1--WE have taken possession OF
Tracy, with the exception of the
cemetery northeast of the village"
Reports from the battlefield declare
the town itself has been converted
into graveyard by the fury of the
German night attack and the counter
assaults by which the allies finally dis,
lodged the invaders.
A violent artillery duel is nroread
ing in the Argonne.

Safeguarding Wounds.

In the course of a letter urging the
immediate adoption of compulsory an
tityphoid incubation in the British
army, Sir Almroth E. Wright says that
the British army and navy and the
French military hospitals have al
ready been supplied with 10000 doses
of an "antisepsis' vaccine, which it
is believed will be of great value IN
protecting the wounded from infec-
ton. When wound heals by first
intention, that is. without suppuration
1.-THE formation of pus). its seriousness
is, as rule, much diminished. Appar-
entity the antisepsis vaccine tends to
promote this result.

New York, Nov. 15.-In some bank

days; Austria has asked a powerful
state to ascertain from the allies what
terms they would be willing to grant
to that country in the event that it
entered into negotiations for peace
Independently of Germany. 1t is sup
posed that it may have been on ac-
count of knowledge of such overtures
that Premier Asquith in the house of
commons the other day intimated that
the war might end sooner than ex-
pected.

German Airships over ENGLAND.

London, Nov. 14.-Germany has in
vaded England by airship, according
to official announcement in Berlin, re-
ceived here by wireless, which states
that German aviators have flown over
Sheerness and Harwich.
Sheerness is fortified seaport in
Kent at the mouth of the Thames.
40 miles from London, and Harwich,
in Essex, is about seventy miles north
east of London.
The news caused considerable ex-
element in London and had depress-
ing effect on the public mind, already
distressed by the announcement that
British casualties head reached the fig
ure of $1,000 up to October 81.

spondents at the front for Petrograd
newspapers telegraph that the Ger
mans made desperate effort to de-
fend a line Of intrenchments from
Kaliscz, to CZentochowa, but could
not stand against the bayonet attacks
of the Russian infantry. The victory
is said to have been gained largely
as the result of the rapidity of the
Russians in sending a large cavalry
force around the left wing of General
Won Hindenburg's army.

A telegram from Field Marshal Sir
John French, commander of the Brit

England's great soldier. The telegram
read:

The place where Britain's aged hero
died is not known definitely. 1t is sup
posed to have been somewhere along
the Belgian-French frontier, where the
British have been fighting for weeks.
