ARE BRINGING UP
 ANNOUNCEMENTS

Every report from Belgium by way or Holland shows that the Germans are bringing up endorsements and guns, but 90 closely is the secret guarded that there is no indication as to where the blow is to be delivered. It will. doubtless, be a heavy one, backed by all the men. guns and other machines of war of which the Germans seem to have unlimited sup plies.
 The allies have made every preparation to meet this assault. At the same time preparations have been completed for the defense of the east coast of England for the opinion still holds here that if the Germans fail in their latest plans, they will attempt a raid on England with warships and transports. for which Ger man submarines are trying to prepare the way
 There is considerable diplomatic ac- tivity in the Balkans and important de- yelopments are expected soon. It Is re- garded in official circles here that with the Austrian army on her soil Servia will be more likely to listen to Bulga- ria's demand for slice of Macedonia as the price of her support. There also is talk of an arrangement between Rou- mania and Bulgaria-in fact reorgani- xation of the Balkan league which would bring all the Balkan states over 10 the side of the allies. Fff

BERLIN REPORTS
 RUSSIANS CHECKED

London November 25-(9:40 D. m.)--While the Russian army headquarters remain silent and the Germans claimed to have checked attempts on the part of the Rus sians to take the offensive the military party in Petrograd has shown its full confidence in the unofficial reports of a Russian victory in northern Poland by celebrating the event
 It is even said in the Russian capital that the victory was greater than has been reported previously and there is talk in Petrograd of an entire German army corps having been broken up. Reports received there say that trains have been ordered which will accommodate 60,000 wounded and prisoners. Heretofore Grand Duke Nicholas commander In chief of the Russian forces, has withheld his re- ports until the work he set about had been completed, so that the world may have to wait for some days yet for his official statement.
 In East Prussia and before Cracow, Ga Iicia, the Germans also claim to have brought the Russian advance to a stop. The other side is yet to be heard from in regard to. this statement.
 Probably the most significant piece of news regarding Russian operations comes from Budapest, where it is admitted that the Russian troops again have invaded Hungary and have reached the county of Ung which is about 35 miles south of the Carpathians and the county of Zem- plin, 50 miles south of these mountains. The troops which invaded Ung, accord ing to this report, have been driven back to the frontier. while action is being taken against those in Zemplin.
 Except to the northwest of Verdun, where the Germans attacked, were re- pulsed and asked for an armstice, which was refused, fighting in the western the atre still is largely an artillery exchange There is evidence. however, that the Ger mans contemplate another desperate eff fort to get through to the French coast vii

the result of good sense and little
self-denial for the sake of Others and
with view to obtain the same in
diligence from them. Taking this fo.
granted, it is astonishing to me that
anybody who has good sense and
good nature (and l believe, my son,
you have both) can essentially fail
in good breeding; as to the modes of
it, indeed they may vary according
to present plans and circumstances
and are only to be acquired by OBJ
servation and experience, but the
substance of it is everywhere; good
manners are to particular societies
what good morals are to society in
general.
And as laws are enacted to enforce
good morals, or at least. to prevent
the i'll effects of bad ones, so ther ,
are certain rules of civility, univer-
sally accepted, to enforce good man
ners and punish bad ones. And in
deed there seems to me to be less
difference both between the crime
and the punishment that at first one
would imagine.
Mutual complaisances, attentions
and sacrifices of little conveniences
are as natural an implied compact
between civilized people as protection
and obedience are between kings and
, subjects; whoever in either case vio-
lates that compact justly forfeits all
advantages arising from it.
For my own part, l really think
that next to the consciousness of do
ing good action, that of doing p
kind one, is the most pleasing, and
the epithet which l should covet the
most, next to that of Aristides, would
be that of well bred"

brusque manner, but corrects the one
coolly, and repulses the other with

Any affectation whatsoever in dress
implies in my mind a flaw in the un-

fully avoids any particular character
in his dress. He is accurately clean
for his own sake, and all the rest is
for the sake of other people. He
dresses as we'll and in the same man
ner as the people of sense and fash
ion in the place where he is. If he
dresses better, as he thinks, he is
fop; If he dresses worse he is un-
pardonably negligent, but of the two
l would rather have young fellow
too much than too little dressed. The
excess on that side will wear off with
little age and reflection, but if he
is negligent at 20 he will be sloven
at 40 and worse at so. Dress your
self finely where others are fine and
plainly where others are plain, but
take care always that your clothes
are well made and fit you; for other
wise they will give you very awk-
ward air. When you are we'll dressed
for the day think no more of it after

Over Thousand
Visited Springs

James H. Doran and family and T.
F. Doran and family, with C.. G.. Cole
of Pittsburg, Penn, picnicked at the
new lithia springs Sunday from early
morning until dusk. They started in
to count the number of visitors to the
springs, but when they reached the
one thousand they grew tired and
ceased counting. They are of the
opinion that 1900 to 1900 visitors
made the trip during the day. They
came in every conceivable vehicle and
brought almost every kind of vessel
to carry water.
