(From the Educational Department Of
the April Century,
The late Dr. S. Weir Mitchell. dur
ing his long years Of active work as a
physician and scientist and his thirty
years or so of production as n novelist
and poet explored many fields, No
subject that he studied, either scien-
titic or social, is more curious than the
one he described in a little known
paper entitled "Of Ailurophobia and
the Power to be Conscious of the Cat
as Near, When Unseen and Unheard 3"
In this paper DR.. Mitchell declares
that there are persons who have been
able TO distinguish the presence Of a
cat by it's smell, but cannot any longer
do So and yet who retain ability to
detect unseen cats.
1T Is likely he says, that the cat
carnations may effect the nervous
system through the nasal membrane,
although unrecognized as odors. Why
these carnations should if plainly
perceived as due TO cats cause GER
tain symptoms in those who dread
cats, Is readily understood
THE ultimate cause Of unreasOna-
bic terror Of cats / cannot explain"

PARIS, Nov. 21.-The ring of
trenches and thousands of men, cir
cling from the Belgian coast on the
north, across northern France and on
the Swiss border, has not yielded a
single point, according to official ad-
vices.
At the war Office tonight, particular
attention was being given to reports
from the Aisne in the region Of Arras
and from the Arsonnc.
The operations from the coast to
Ypres are now fairly In the nature OF
a winter siege. Field operations are
impossible owing to weather condi-
tlons. It has turned extremely cold.
A thin film Of ice Is reported to have
formed In some sections Of the inun-
dated district from Dixmude TO the
coast. No chances will be taken Of
permitting the flooded ground or the
User canal to freeze over, however.
Should the cold become severe enough
TO cause a general freeze, gun fire will
be directed TO prevent any formation
Of Ice that might support troops Of the
enemy.
Operations have practically ceased
from the coast to Ypres with the ex-
ception Of the artillery firing, and even
this has greatly sIackened. The man
ner In which both armies are now dug
In along the entire line was indicated
In today's offcial communique. when II
was stated that some Of the French
British entrenched had been within
thIrty-two yards Of the Germans POSI-
tions. In the vicinity Of Arras,
trenches are 90 inter!aced that men
leaving their own trenches have enter
ed those Of the enemy ny mistake and
Immediately made prisoners. Many

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The Unit
ed States is seriously concerned re-
garding what is going on behind the
curtain of censorship in Asiatic Tur-
key. For the first time since the
Tennessee incident" when shot was
fred across the bow OF a launch
carrying the stars and stripes, ON
cials tonight dropped their air OF ap-
parent disinterest. They do not fear
war It is admitted that Turkey will
probably explain at least to "oficial
satisfaction" that there was no hos
tile intent behind the shot which kept
the Tennessae's launch out OF
Smyrna's harbor. But it Is al least
pointed out that in his report OF the
incident, Captain Decker officially
characterized the shot as an "un-
friendly act"
Ofiicialdom is puzzled as to just
what the captain means. Secretary OF
the Navy Daniels, who since last We'd
nesday has withheld from the public
the final phrase of Captain Decker's
report to him tonight stated that
Decker characterized the shot as mot
hostile, but unfriendly.' Earlier, Sec
retary Tumulty. acting for President
Wilson, had issued statement de-
claring a shot had been fired across
the bow OF the Tennessee's launch
which the captain of the Tennessee
reports not intended as hostile act.
HALF an hour after Secretary Daniels
had learned Of the statement, he de-
clared that the captain mad also SAID
the "shot was unfriendly."
Il did not know what he meant by
the distinction explained the secre-
tary tonight, "and SO I withheld the
entire comment. Anyhow it was only
an opinion
The secretary admitted he was wor
ried as to just what is going on in
Smyrna He declared that the orders
to Captain Decker of the Tennessee
and Captain Omar Of the North Caro-
lima. that they must not act without
positive instructions from Washington
were mot final" "What l conveyed
tn them was that in the present incl
dent, they must wait for orders" ex-
planned the secretary. II did not want
them responding to some call from
hysterical consul and rushing their
vessels into a mined harbor. But
their orders to remain inactive at
present simply means that they are
to await orders from me after I have
received from the state department
complete explanation from Ambassador
Morgenthau Of Just what happened at
SMYRNA. Now I think that Captain
Decker, in characterizing the shot as
not hostile, but unfriendly, meant that

time is being driven across Poland by
the masterful Won Hindenberg. Yet
Servia's plea is the most pitiful cpl
sode of the war, except only the
plight Of Belgium. 1t was Austria's 8
attempt to crush Servia that caused
Austria's intervetion. And now,
when the time has come to save
Servia from an Austrian invasion,
the Slavs are disadvantaged by Ger
many's new offensive, and by, the
temptation to invade Turkey. The
events of the week have thus added
greatly to Russias difficulties and
have involved her in a net of cen
flicting desires.
The campaign in the west has con-
tinued its indecisive character
throughout the week. In Flanders
there has been a slight exchange Of
territory, but ell the central points
along the battle line have been i'm
pregnable.
Along the eastern French frontier,
the incident of Chauvoncourt has re-
suited in a German success, won by
unusual means The town, which
forms part OF the German holdings
along the Meuse. was mined after
which the German retreated. The
French rushed forward to occupy
the stronghold, ,whereupon the mines
were exploded. --ow large were the
French losses, is not yet reported,
but the Germans apparently were
able to reoccupy the town without
difficulty. The trick is understood to
have been performed by the Germans
at Mulhausep with frightful effect,
when the French last invaded AL
SAGE. It's successful repetition sug-
gests. at best. that the French are not
using experienced troops for the
Meuse operations.
