tary observers here express the opin-
ion that the success of the German
army near Lodz in Russian Poland
apart from the numerous Russian pris-
oners taken. has tended to further
improve the German-Austrian situa-
tion in the east.
The most important event Of the
fighting, army officers point out, was
the destruction by the Germans Of
100 cannon which the Russians will
be unable to replace without the
greatest difficulty While the ap-
proach of new Russian reinforcements
has delayed decision. tho tact that
those reinforcements will not be able
to arrive simultaneously with rein

before they can combine
The continual calling forth Of new
and larger reinforcements shows, It
is said, that the Russians are aware
Of the seriousness Of their situation.

GREAT BRITAIN NOT BROKE"
If SHE COULD CALL IN ALL OUT.
STANDING ACCOUNTS SHE

London, Nov. Chancellor of the
Exchequer Lloyd George announced in
the house Of commons that the war
loan Of 350,Q0Q,00O pounds, ($l $780, ,OOO,-
O0O) had been greatly over subscribed.
Dealing with the steps taken by the
government to assist commerce dur
ing the war, Mr Lloyd George said
that the government had undertaken
responsibility which no government
lever had been called upon 70 assume
before.
I'VE had not merely our own bush
ness to- run the chancellor Of the
excheqher continued, but we were an
essential part Of machine that ran
the international trade Of the world
We carried half the produce aud pro
vided the capital that moved this
produce from one part Of the world
to another not merely for ourselves
but for other countries
Giving instances, he referred to
the cotton trade and said that all the
movements from the plantations to
the ultimate destination Of The cotton
were represented by paper signed
either at London, Manchester or Liv
erpool When the United States
bought cotton or silk or tea in China,
payment was made through London
by means of these documents. That
showed, Mr.. Lloyd George said, how
complicated the system was. The
paper issued in London had become
part Of the currency Of the world.
Into this fine delicate paper machin-
cry had crashed a great war, affect
ing two-thirds of the people OF the
whole world, and confusion was in
evitable. It was as If a violent kick
had been given an antheap, and for q
moment there was confusion and
panic.
The deadlock which existed, the
chancellor pointed out, was not due
to any lack Of credit in this country.
II was due to the failure OF remittan
ces from abroad
Mr. Lloyd George told his hearers
that the action winch the British
government had taken was to save
British trade, British commerce Brit
iish labor and lives. The government.
he said, has hypothecated zh credit
of the state in order to restore these
exchanges upon which the commerce
and industry of the country depended
for their daily life. BY this step the
speaker said the unimpeachable char
acter Of the British bill Of exchange
has been maintained

PASSING Of Old Houses.

Riders and walkers through the New
England countryside and villages learn
to look for the venerable houses, many
Of them c~entenarians twice over, which
not only distinguish this region, but fit
into It's landscapes with a suitability
which newer buildings somehow lack.
AS this interest grows the observer be-
gins to notice that they are all too rap
idly disappearing to give place to mod
ern houses which r certainly no i'm.
provement In workmanship and archi.
tectural design, and not necessarily su-
perior in comfort and convenience IL
the old houses are properly handled.
In losing these ancient buildings we
are losing not only parcels Of history.
We are losing quite as much a dignk
fed and fitting style Of domestic archi-
lecture which Is all the more effective
by being severely plain.-BOston Trans

Of Annie by right Of attachment, for
the circus had spread its tents upon

Heppy Tewks was engaged to Cap
tain Perley futile.
You mean won't get married on &C
count OF Annie hereT' demanded the
captain truculently.
"That's what she told Susan"
Captain Tuttle spat hurriedly and
rubbed his gray head perplexedly. An
ger died out Of his eyes and only a
vague bewilderment remained.
But Heppy vas with me when 1 got
the elephant She said she thought It
was the only thing to do" he protest
ed with sudden weakness.
Hiram Beebe who had been twice
married, laughed h~eartlessly.
SHOWS you don't know much about
wfmmen folks, Perley," he said with a
p~atronizing air that CALLED the pride Of
the old sailor. "Heppy's changed her
mind since day before yesterdy. She
declares II she'd had any idee that you
was going TO turn the farm into a cir

Hiram shifted uneasily from one
foot to the other. Heppy Tewks was
his cousin, and he had been the bearer
Of her message to her 1ance.
Still, he did not wish Heppy to break
her engagement to Captain Perley.
"Weli, 1 got to be going along" he
said, turning away. "Pve had my say,

and IT'S for you and Heppy TO tx It up
between you. She said this elephant
ought to be sent back to the circus
where It belongs."
When Hiram had disappeared the
captain went into the stable and look

mass looming mp in the gathering twi-

Happily the circus grounds were on
the edge Of Sahdville. and Captain Tut
tie and his bride could ride tiiHm-
phantly into the wide field without en-
countering any more vehicles. Circus
folk are early risers. and so when An
MES familiar form appeared among the
gray tents she was greeted with cries
Of JOY.
When her former owners saw the
pair sitting on the seat above Annie's
ragged ears they burst into a hearty
cheer and the band brayed forth a STIR
ring welcome.
Annie essayed a few waltz steps aud
vas only prevented from standlng on
her hind legs and going through her
entire repertoire by the ringmaster,
who in a few sharp commands brought
her to her knees.
Captain Tuttle dlsmounted with
what dignity he could muster. and
Heppy, clustered at being the center OF
so much interest, fell into his arms.
Your wife must have enjoyed the
ride said the ringmaster as Captain

and shook hands with him.
The captain winked solemnly at the
blushing Heppy Tewks.
Mrs. Captain PerIey Tuttles got a

On the porch Of the parsonage Heppy

looked down into her rosy face, alight
with a dozen conflicting emotions.
"Perley," she said, II don't believe
any n ever had a queerer wedding
than we've had-riding on an elephant

breakfast In a circus tent and getting

And that amt a patch on what the
bandmaster wanted me to DO" con-

heard the MINISTER'S footsteps in the
hall. "He wanted to take US to Little
