Summary
 OF THE w ar News


 Saloniki has a report that Rus sian troops have entered Bull garia. There is no confirmation of the report.
 It has been assumed that Russian concentration near the Rumanian border was for use in Balkan operations, but Rumania's continued neutrality had blocked their passage by land or by way of the Danube into Bulgaria, if one were intended by such routes There have been no recent indica- tions of a RAssian move by water.
 Monastir, the southern Serbian city whose fate has been in doubt for days, is now apparently in the hands of an AustrO-German force. A Sa1onilxi despatch giving this news says the Austrian flag was raised when the city was occupied and that the Bulgarians did not enter. ~
 The Montenegrins admit the evacuation of P1ehje in north east ern Montenegro.
 Quiet prevailed on the French front, Paris reports.
 Fog and rain have halted oper- ations against Gorizia.> Rome re- ports the repulse of surprise at tacks by the Austrians on posi- tions. recently taken by the Ita1- ians.
 Snow is ten feet deep in the, Caucasus zone of operations, ac- cording to Constantinop1e official report, which records the contin- uation of action against the Rus sians under these adverse condi- tions.

 LOCAL COMMUNITY

The first banquet was held in the Y M c. A. boys department last eve- ming in connection, with the employed boys brotherhood This brotherhood was organized about a month ago for the purpose of binding together a group of employed boys to help one another.

Lavery said that he is self-nade, and that he grasped every opportunity that presented itself to him for a larger and bigger life, and he hoped that this employed boys brotherhood would prove of great value to the as- sociation and to the community.
 Remarks were also listened to from pr. E. s. Smith, who also spoke of the opportunity the boys had for ser vice. Ralph Sprague, president of the employed boys brotherhood, outlined plans for the season S work.

The allies. left is trying to move the Germans right, but the Germans right is also moving around the allies left Now, if the left of the Germans right moves around the right of the allies left, then what is left of the Germans right must be right where the allies left.

vice of this kind is made Of metal.

on the face of the wedge causes the
