DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR

Interest in the great European struggle remains centered in the east ern theater, where three big battles are being fought.
 ! The activity in Belgium and France has lessened largely because of bad weather conditions and the inundation of a considerable area along the Yser in West Flanders. The only serious fighting now taking place on the al lies left wing in the west appears to be south of Ypres. In the Argonne region the German attacks, according to the French, have been repulsed. Reports received at Berlin from Hol- land state that near Bixschoote and Dixmude the French lost 10000 men and that 1,5OO British were drowned in the Yser canal
 Little news regarding the opera tions in Transcaucasia has reached the outside world. The Turkish war office announces that the fighting is progressing favorably. The Turkish troops, it is said, have been reinforced by Persian tribesmen. It is announc- ed from the headquarters of the Rus sian army of the Caucasus that the British warships on November 19 bombarded the port of Khopa in Turkish Armenia, on the Black sea. It is officially announced in Berlin that according to information from South Africa 5000 Boers have gath cred near Bloemfontein and an attack on the town is feared The garrison there numbers only 800.
 An Austrian official communication claims further success in the Aus trian advance into Servia Austria s progress is causing uneasiness in Bull garia as to what the future of the Balkan states will be. Italy also has been affected by Austria's advance.

Sheehan, the greatest of all American tenors; Miss Mirth Carmen, one of the finest Leonoras ever heard in this country; Miss Elaine De Sellem, whose characterization of the Gypsy hag as AZucena, is said to be the fin est piece of character acting in the annals of opera in English; Arthur Deane, the renowned English bari tone; Miss Grace Doxsee, one of Americas foremost prima donnas; Nelson R.

At The Theatres
SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS"

"The Shepherd of the Hills,' one of Harold Bell Wright's greatest suc- cesses, was presented in a dramatized form to large audience last night at the Grand. From the rise of the curtain to it's fall the piece was given the closest attention. This regard arose not only from the artistic de- velopments of events, but also from the earnestness of the actors, all of whom were excellently fitted for their respective parts. The production was acted, staged and mounted fittingly and the atmosphere of the story was we'll preserved.
