But the laundering in the Balkans

The opening OF the road to Com

of German military genius, and has
been made possible so promptly by
the very vigorous offensive conducted
by the Bulgarian armies.
1t is very easy however. TO over
estimate the military significance of
the open-door to Constantinople. 1t
would. of course. be perfectly possible
for the Austro- German Bulgar-Turk
forces to march on to Egypt, spread
over French North Africa, in the
course OF some years to penetrate In

to wrest from English grasp the lost
African empire of Germany and to
take British South Africa as a prize
tary enterprise, however such opera
tions will not be seriously considered
in the absence OF deep-water trans
portation for the handling Of troops
and supplies.
The more elongated an offensive
becomes, the more difficult
becomes the matter of supplies and
the more vulnerable to attack.
Hence with clear-headed direction,

A STIRRING LECTURE

The services of Mrs. Lewis Chase,
who gives Sterioptican Lecture on
Brittany and the Bretons of Today"
have been secured oy Alma parties.
She will give her lecture in Friday
evening, November 5th, at 7:45 p. M,
i'm the Guild room of the St Johns
Church.
Mrs. Chase comes TO US with great
preparation to give US picture of the
devastation of the recent war done in
northern France, owing TO the fact
that she has spent a considerable
time there both before and since its
outbreak. On account of her deep in
terest in these people, the Bretons of
this northern section, she has had
many stirring experiences in helping
the refugees to escape from the dan
gers of the war.
One of the interesting features Of
the lecture is the fact that pictures of
a sixteenth century civilization are
projected in colors before you upon
the screen because the Bretons are a
people rather secluded, and have re-
tanned to the present day customs and
costumes as well as houses and build
ings Of sixteenth century type.
The public are cordially invited to
come, see, and hear how some of our
forefathers used to live.

MT. PLEASANT BEATS ALMA
Local Team Holds Heavy Mt. Pleas
ant High Eleven to Ia to z
Score

Although the local team was out
weighed by the Mt. Pleasant team by
quite considerable, they held them
to a score of IA to 7. Realizing their
handicap in weight, Alma availed her
self of her speedy and agile bunch
by using end runs and forward passes
many Of which were intercepted by
Mt. Pleasant, giving them one more
big advantage. One Of Nit Peasants s
strong points was carrying the ball
back from long punt. Another was
a series of line plunges mingled with
a shower of "slugs.'
In the first quarter Chamberlain,
Mt. Peasants quarter back, succeed
ed in placing the pigskin behind
Alma's goal. This aroused the locals
who came back in the second quarter,
kress, Alma's quarter back, initiating
Mt. Peasants action by scoring. Mt.
Pleasant followed with another score
by Kirconnell, left halfback, in play
ing a "cross-buck." Thus the score
stood at the end of the second quarter.
After fifteen minute rest both teams
came back with deadly determination
and the last half of the game was
played to a finish with neither team
scoring.
