NEW YORK, Nov. ell a. MI
Russia's plan of campaign for her
operations against Turkey is now de-
veloping along the Caucasian border.
If 1t be successfully forced there
can be no doubt but that the pres
sure of the Russian offensive against
Germany must lose much Of its
strength.
The Russian army now operating
against the Turks is said at Petro-
grad to number 10000. This is a re-
spectacle advance guard for screen
ing purposes and no more. From the
Armenian boundary, where the Rus
sian troops have entered Turkey, the
distance to Constantinople is 200
miles. There are no railways until
within 200 miles Of Constantinople
and the roads are bad The route
itself is q narrow plain running be-
tween mountains to the north and
south. The Russians will have 20
perfect a supply organization of un-
precedented proportions If they are
ever to reach ConstantinOple through
this back door route. via the Cau-
IdHuN anu AIItnlds AutN Aann0l az
vance on a wide front because Of the
mountains, and narrow marching for
nations for huge modern armies
cause constant delays and friction.
Possibilities of flank attacks are an
added source OF danger. The two prin-
cipal Russian bases in the Caucasus
are the railroad centres Of Batoum
and Kars. Supplies can be forward
ed to these points from the inter or
of Russia without difficulty, but
thereafter great confusion Is bound
to arise. Carts and motor trucks Will
have to be used exclusively TO carry
supp les forward and the Asia Minor
roads are not constructed for heavy
traffic of this kind.
There are two alternatives to th'
precari1us Path to Copstantinople fror
the east. The first is to ferry Russian
troops across the Black Sea and land
them under the guns OF warships on the
northern Asia Minor shore, not far from
Constantinople's icieuccs. The second
Is TO march on Constantinople along tn,
historic roads through the Balkans. Eacf
cf these roiites would reduce the Journey
by about 500 miles
The first alternative. however, is ilu
possible until Russia establishes thl
command Of the Black Sea. With tn

the railroad tower near POrters.
About three o clock this morning
Elliott was startled by a command to
unlock the door of his tower. Peer
ing out, he saw three white men and
when he refused them admission they
began cursing and threatening to
break the door. Elliott rushed to his
telephone instrument and sent a call
to A. W. Bradley, operator at Por-
ters Station. Bradley instructed the
besieged operator to call for help and
this he did, Spry and others respond
ing. When the farmers approached

MANSFIELD.

The nineteenth week of the Inter- national egg laying contest at Storrs was another record breaker. The in- creased yield over the preceding week amounted to 516 or a total production of 3173 eggs for the week. The managers of the competition believe that even this record may be surpassed because it is too early to expect any serious setback on account of broody hens. A little later of course the heavier breeds will have to be cooped up from time to time for longer or shorter periods in order to persuade them that it is better to lay eggs in a laying contest rather than to incnba @ them. The Wolverine pen of buff leghorns from Grand Rapids took first honors with production of 50 eggs. A Bay State pen of barred rocks owned by Frank L.. Futile of Ashland came second with yield of 49 eggs and Pennsylvania pen of leghorns owned by P. G. Pratt of Wallingford came third with 48 eggs to their credit. The subjoining table indicates the number of birds, the breed, the num- Der of varieties, the number of eggs produced during the week and the per cent of eggs yield.

A Doctor's Idea ee Perfectly Balanced
 All Year Round Diet.
 That every one is more or less sas- ceptlble to tubercuIar trouble is Q mat ter on which all old fashioned medical authorities are agreed. They tell us that we may pass through a phnse and out again without knowing it Accord ing to Dr. T. Y. Hull in the Dietetic Gazette. there is only one thing very certain, and that is that if we keep in good health or adapt ourselves to q perfectly balanced diet the danger isi slighty' ..E
 He advocates a reduction of vegeta- ble food, relying more upon butter, meat and nuts. Here. of course. one has to face the increased danger of tubercular meat, itself probably a large cOntHbutOEy cause of consump- tion.
 This is Dr. HHll1s idea of perfectly balanced diet. calculated to keep the average individual in perfect health all the year round: The basis for the diet is found in meat. eggs. milk. butter. bread. potatoes and fruit. It consists daily of two QuTt@ of milk. five eggs, four ounces of hee6. one and one-half ounces of butteE two ounces of nuts pecan). four ounces of bread. three and One-haf ounces of rice. three ounces each Of potatoes peas and oat- meal. one OuD0e sugar. one ounce raj sins. one apple and one orange.
