UP WHERE ALASKA BEGINS

Up where the hand clasps little stronger, Up where the smile dwells a little longer-
 That's where Alaska begins Up where the suns little brighter. Where the snow that fails is a triffle whiter, Where the henls of home are a wee bit tighter
 That where Alaska begins. Cp where fresher breeze is blowing Where there's laughter in every streamlet flowing. Where there s more of reaping and less of sowing That's where Alaska begins. Up where Alaska is in the making, Where fewer hearts with despair are aching, Where there's more of giving and less of taking That's where Alaska begins Where there's more of singing and less of signing. Where there's more of giving and less of buying. And man makes friends without half trying
 That's where Alaska begins

mans have made slight progress In

are on the fensive and continue the

The Austrian advance upon Lemberg
from a point south of Stannisiau has
been checked. The Russian enveIop-
naent movement from the west, direct
ed from Wyszkow pass, now threatens
the Austrian's line Of communications.
The Germans in the Poland fighting,
have failed in their threat against the
Russian line of communication be-
tween Warsaw and Petrograd. Heavy
guns at the fortress Of Ossowetz have
blocked the kaiser's troops in their

action. further slight resistance might
develop. But Constantinople cannot
be defended properly except along the
DardanelleS. Once the strait is fore
ed, Constantinople is doomed.
The fall of the Turkish capital
would be of immense commercial ad-
vantage to the allies. 1t would per-
NIT Russia to resume her trade with
the world at large, thus relieving in
part the financial embarrassment of
the cars empire; it would allow Rus
sia's immense grain supplies to he
sent to France and England, thus re-
ducing the price of bread; and It
would place at the disposal of the al
lies many merchantmen now bottled
up in the Black sea. The last result
would be particularly acceptable to
Eng land. Army transport and naval
patrol requirements have seriously de-
pleted the British merchant marine
and it is impossible to find enough
ships at present to care for England's
export trade.
Capture of Constantinople by
France and England without Russia's
help, would be matter for much sill
ent rejoicing in these two countries.
| 1t would mean that the western pow
ers and not Russia would have the
deciding voice in determining the fu-
ture status Of the Turkish capital and
the Dardanelles. If the Siavs were TO
subdue Constantinople, Russia would
hold out for absolute sovereignty over
the conquered territory. This is the
last thing England and France desire
and Italy. Greece, Bulgaria and
Roumania would also object to it.

WITH TILE BELGIAN ARMY, Feb.
s. Cby mail)-The romances Of swash-
bucklers are daily outdone here
among the floods Of Flanders where
the army of King Albert stands with
its back 10 the wall, fighting to hold
the little strip Of Belgian soil still to
be called it's own.
For instance. there Is the secret
band OF the hundred and fifty" 1t
is composed of volunteer soldiers,
picked men who snap their fingers in
the face Of death, and who, when the
worst comes to the worst, meet their
doom with a jaunty smile on their
lips, smile tinged with just little
scorn and which says to- the grim
fighting squad: Shoot and be hanged
Its little care!
The general public knows little Or
nothing of the hundred and f1fty''
but there isn't Belgian trooper who
doesn't know Of the band and speak
of it with something of awe and mys-
terry in his voice. When an enter
prise Is en- foot, requiring supreme
daring, unfaitering courage, a do-it-or-
die determination OF an almost SUI
per-human sort, the hundred and If
ty Is called upon-and 1t never fails.
The band furnishes the necessary
man or men and If these do not de-
liver the goods, another man or men
come forward until the thing requir.
ed is accomplished. Impossible as 1t
may seem, of the $50 men in the or
ganization, some $50 have met death:
in other words the band has been
wiped out more than once.
The lay Of the land, so to speak,
brought the daredevil group into be-
ing, necessary result of the strange
ly peculiar fighting now going ON

NEW YORK, Feb. 26. I'll a. M
If the fleet of the allied powers sue
ceeds in forcing the Dardanelles, 1t
will be one of the most remarkable
naval victories in history. The
strait is between one and four miles
wide and is forty miles long. Heavily
fortified works command the water
way from both sides while mine fields
present an even more formidable OBJ
stacle to a hostile fleet.
The mines are believed to be laid
in seven rows. A single narrow chan
mel has been left free for the passage
Of Turkish warships, but 1t can be
closed quickly if the Anglo-French
fleet passes the entrance forts. In
efficient use of the Dardanelles' de
lenses by the Turks, coupled with
good luck on the part OF the attacking
ships, must operate together to give
the allies victory. That the Turks
are capable of gross ineff1ciency, even
under German supervision, has been
demonstrated by the severe defeat re
Gently inflicted on the Ottomans by
Russias Caucasian army.
Once through the Dardanelles, the
Anglo-French warships would have &c
steam about 12O miles through the
sea of Marmora before reaching Con
stantinople. The second passage
would be far less dangerous than the
first, for the Marmora sea is too wide
to be commanded by shore batteries
A few inferior island defenses ant
