London, Aug 21.-While the prog
ress England and France are making
in the Gallipoli peninsula is falling
far short OF the expectations of the
general public in both countries who
had expected a quick and spectacular
penetration of the Dardanelles by the
allied fleets followed by the immediate
fall of Constantinople, the best proc.
of the importance of the operations
in this part of the war theater is to
be found in the feverish diplomatic
activity of the German diplomats in
the Balkans and particularly in Buch-
Arrest.
When. last month, Roumania defn-
itely refused to comply with Germany's
request to permit the passage of Ger
man arms and ammunition through
the country to Constantinople. the
German press made no attempt to con-
ceal its bitter disappointment and it
was plainly limited that unless some
way was found to supply Turkey with
munitions the fall of Constantinople
was merely a question of time.
Since then the diplomats have work
ed necessarily at Bucharest and there
are signs tending to show that the
moment has almost arrived when Rou-
mania must give up her neutrality.
When she does so she will enter the
war on the side of the quadruple en-
tente.
What is delaying the decision of
Roumania is the fact that while the
people are strongly in favor of joining
hands with England. France and Rus

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY and YOURS
BY MARY MARSHALL.
August 22-Emily Judson.

Today is the ninety-eighth anniversary
of the birth of Emily Judson, the third
wife of Judson, the celebrated mission
airy of the last century. Her birthplace
was Morrisville, n. Y, and there she
was brought up in poverty, working in
the wooden mill in summer and attending
the district school in winter. At the age
of fifteen she had advanced enough in
her studies to become a teacher at Utica
n. Y. Even before this she had made
some progress with her writing, and be-
fore she was twenty she published her
first book, Charles Linn" which, though
successful. brought her but S5l. Later
she wrote number of children's stories
published by the Baptist Publishing
House, and with this and other literary
and editorial work she became so sue
cessful that after four years of work
she was able to settle her parents in
comfortable house.
About this time Judson had suffered
the tragic death of his second wife in
India and returned to this country. One
of the first things that he did was to
find some one to write the biography of
his wife, and it was after considerable
elaboration that he selected Emily judi
son. or Fanny Forester" a $ she was
known to her readers. Within year
Mr.. Judson and the youthful biographer
were engaged. and. because Judson felt
il his duty TO return to his missionary
work. they were married Immediately.
Together they went to Burmah. where
Judson died within four years. Mrs.
Judson returned to the United States.
where she continued her literary work.
but the seeds of her breakdown had been
sown during the four years that she
worked in Burmah, and she died in 1854
a. the age of thirty-seven.

shape Of letters and receipts showing
that sums amounting to several thou

several occasions. Caplan declared
that after living in Europe and South
