London Nov. 2S.-At few times
since the European war began, nearly
four months ago, have reports from
the various fields of battle, scattered
from the North sea to the western
fringe of Asia, been so incomplete and
confusing as is the case today.
| So far as could be learned from Of
| fetal announcements there is little
change in the alignment of the oppos-
ig forces in any quarter, notwithstand-
ing the fact that operations of the
highest Importance are under way.
The situation in Russian Poland, at
present the scene of the most import
ant conflict has become one Of the
most puzzling phases of the war. An
official Austrian statement is to the
effect that the fighting had assumed
the character of continuous battle.
In western Galacia it is said that the
Russians have been repulsed by the
Austrians.
Latest advices from Berlin state
that the outcome is not yet decided,
although partial German victories are
reported
Opposed to this are unofficial state
ments from Petrograd, Paris and Lon,
don that Germany has been defeated
decisively and Earl Kitchener; an.
nouncement in parliament that Ger
many had suffered the greatest re-
versal Of the entire war.
For nearly week these claims have
been made with the utmost confidence,
yet the Russian war Office withholds
any word of decisive developments.
In some particulars similar situ-
alton prevails in the west.
| London expects this week would
witness one of the most important
and deadly struggles of the war, as
result of a renewed German effort to
break through to the English channel.
Official statements, however, indicate
that only sporadic fighting is in pro-
gress. AS to the results there is no
reconciling the reports from Berlin
and Paris.
There is a corresponding conflict
concerning the campaign in Se:via.
The Austrian war office asserts that
the advance into Servia is being push
ed forward successfully and that the
Serbs were beaten in two engage
ments. An official statement issued at
Nish, however, contained no reference
to such occurrences, merely saying
that battle continues along the main
front near the Kolubara river.
A holy war, which might seriously
affect the issue should it bring to
arms the millions of Moslems Of the
eastern countries, has been formally
proclaimed, as decided upon ten days
ago.
The proclamation, signed by the sui
tan of Turkey, calls on Moslems the

troops, which, having penetrated in
the direction of Brzeziny, are now re-

conditions which are very favorable to

continues with success. In the fight
ing on Nov. rs, we took 5000 prison
ers, including two regiments with their

Amsterdam, Nov. z7.-Aviators re-
turning from the Austrian fortress at

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The Turkish
commander of the forts at Smyrna
lays all the responsibility for firing on
the cruiser Tennessee's launch ito
the Indifference of the helmsmen of
the launch" who, it is said, did not
heed the warning of the presence of
mines in the harbor
Secretary Bryan issued a supple
mental statement on the Tennessee in
cident, based upon the latest commu-
nication from the Turish minister Of
war to Ambassador Morganthau at
Constantinople Bryan says this latest
report closes the incident.
"The war minister's report" says
Bryan's statement states that he as
certained from the commaner of Smy-
rna that two blank shots of warning
were first fired and that fort, after
waiting two minutes was obliged to
fire the third shot in another direction
from that of the launch, which latter
shot was merely to prevent the helms
man Of the launch from heading his
course, which would lead directly onto
the mines at the entrance of the port
to rescue him from a very certain dan
ger. The commander of Smyrna cx-
presses very great regret that such an
o. litigation was presented to the sen.
tnel of the port, which he attributed
to the Indifference of the Hellnsman
of the launch"

Memory After Death

In considering our destinieS beyond
the grave, we need have no reason to
linger too long over these apparitions
|or these revelations, even though they
should really be incontestable and to
the point, They would seem, all told,
to be only the incoherent and precari-
Gus manifestations of a transitory
state. They would at best prove, If
we were bound to admit them, that a
reflection of ourselves, an after-Fibra-
tion of the nerves, a bundle of emo
tions, spiritual silhouette, grotes-
que and forlorn image. or, more c0f-
rectly, a sort of truncated and upro0t-
ed memory, can, after our death, lin
ger and float in a space where noth-
ing remains to feed it, where 1t grad
ually becomes wan and hfeless, but
where a special fluid, emanating
from an exceptional medium, succeeds
at moments in galvanizfng it. Per
haps it exists effectively, perhaps it
subsists and reyiyes only in the recol-
lection of certain sympathies. After
all, it would be not unlikely that the
memory which represents US during
our life should continue to do so for
"a few weeks or even few few years
after our decease. This would ex-
plain the evasiye and deceptive char
acter of those spirits, which, posses
sing only a mennonite existence, are
naturally able to interest themselves
only in matters within their reach !.
Hence their irritating and maniaeal
energy in clinging to the slightest
facts, their sleepy dullness, their in
comprehensive indifference and ig-
noranee, and all the wretched absurd
tiles which we have noticed more
than once. - Maurice Maeteriinck.

History of SpeCtaCIes

What were supposed to be the earl
lest known pair Of spectacles were
those belonging to Willibald Pirk-
heimer in the Wartburg, recently
found by Greeff of Berlin. Greeff has
described a still earlier pair, however.
probably made before the year 1900
which were brought to his attention
by Sudhoff of. Leipsic. These were
found in an old volume of incunabula
by the well-known antiquarian book
seller, Jacques Rosenthal, and were
presented by him to the Germanic ma
tional museum at Nuremberg, where
they are now to be seen in the sec.
tions devoted to costumes and per
sonal ornaments. The frame is of
tanned blackened leather, of obvious
Nuremberg make, and, like the Pirk-
heimer speCtacles. of the old tradi-
tional "nose-rider" shape, but they
are clumsier an dthicker than the
Pirkheimer pattern of 1520-1530. The
lenses are lacking. In view Of these
characteristics and of the fact that
they were found in an old fifteenth
century folio, Greeff and Sudhoff
seem to have no doubt that they were
made before 1900. These old specta-
cles, probably the oldest in existence,
are described by writer in the Jour
nal of the American Medical Associa-
| ton. The origin of the present fash
ion of large circular lenses set in de-
| licate tortOise-Shell mounts is a pas
tel portrait of the painter Chardin in
the Louvre, executed by himself in
1850, the spectacles in which were CO.
pied with great success by recent
French opticians and are known in
Paris as Chardin spectacles. The
same type is familiar to us in a we'll
known portrait Of Benjamin Franklin.
Four or five years ago, says Greeff, a
young woman or lady Of fashion
would have been Mortified at the no
ton of wearing spectacles Of such an
unsisntly type. Today she would re-
gard it as not only chic, but tho
height of elegance. Plenty of people
in America are inclined, no doubt, to
revive the traditions of "old Ben
Franklin's days" for similar reasons,
although the optical advantages and
the comfort of these large lenses are
obvious.
