English people have been asked to fight largely in the dark, to bear their part patiently in an intricate task, the compass of which is far beyond their grasp. That without either the stimulus Of a visible foe' IS in France, or the support of the magnificent organization and dis cipliue of Germany which in so many ways makes good dericienceS of the individual, England should be braclng itself so spontaneously aad with such grave resolution to an that the future may bring forth is indeed a striking fact and one which proves most undoniably tho unity of a country at a time when such a quality is its most valuable weapon.

PLANS NEW ALLENTOWN.

Expers eIves Advice and Commission
 Taking Measures to Improve Town.
 Energetic measures for the improve ment of Allentown, Pa, are being taken by the new city planning commission headed by Colonel Harry c. Trexler. Frank Rooster of New York city, an expert in city planning has rendered a preliminary report after a survey Of the town itself and the territory em- braced within the three mile limit over which it has Jurisdiction under the new net of assembly.
 Mir Rooster finds that Allentown, like most American towns, was start ed as village and allowed to grow without any scientific plans for its de- yelopment He advises the municipal ity to break away from rectangular blocks and to lay out streets according to topography and the trend of hills and streams. He strongly advocates that the city retain 10 per cent of all annexed land for parks, public squares, breathing places and playgreGnds. He thinks factories should be restricted to a manufacturing area.
 Trolley lines, he says, ought to be built far out into the suburbs to per init the erection of houses away from the congested district. He advises a law to remove all sidewalk obstrGc- tons at once, so as to relieve ths crowded condition of the streets In the heart of the town, and advocates the removal of the soldiers monument from Center square because 1t Is a se- rious obstruction to traffic. He also advocates bouleyarl lighting from brackets attached to buildings, so as to do away with all poles, and says the supports for trolley wires should also be attached to buildings.

CITY OF STE!NBACH Is
TAKEN BY ALLIED FORCES
Battle for Town in Progress for Week
French Continue to lombard
Other Positions.

London, Jan. 6.-The allies have en-
tered Steinbach, the town in Alsace
for which they have been battling a
week. The fall of Steinbach was adj
mitted in an official statement at Ber-
lin.
The next move by the French will
be the tightening of their lines at
Cernay (also called Seunheim), which
they are attacking violently. With
the two towns in their possession the
way will be clear to the environs of
Muelhausen-the objective of the Up
per Alsace campaign. Cernay is three
miles from Steinbach and eight miles
from Muelhausen.
French guns massed before Altkirch
continue their bombardment of that
important railway center, which also
is but eight miles from Muelhausen,
but slightly west of south. Steinbach,
Cernay. Thanh and Aspach are
grouped just north of west of Muel-
hansen.
Thus, Muelhausen is threatened
from two quarters-its front on the
west and its left flank on the south.

to weaken our armies in the principal
theater of war, won two decisive vic
tories on the 21st and 22d of Deem
Der over Turkish forces superior in
number-at Ardahan against the First
Turkish corps and at Sarykamysch
against the Ninth and Tenth corps.
The entire Ninth corps (40,oJ0 mem
has capitulated. The Tenth is max
ing every effort to escape, but is be-
ing pursued by our troops"

town in Russian Armenia, about sixty
miles from the Turkish frontier. 1t
formerly belonged to Turkey, but 1t
was stormed and captured by the Rus
slams in 1878 and remained in Russian
possession after the close of the war.
Sarykamysch is a small town near
the Russian frontier In Biblical times
the region in which it is situated was
known as Ararat, from the mountain
of that name, upon which, according
to tradition, Noah's ark landed after

to Allies, and Protection of
u. S. Ships.

Milwaukee.-The American Neu-
trality League of Wisconsin was or
ganized in Milwaukee, when two
score citizens gathered at the
Deutscher club and pledged them
selves to work in every legitimate
way for the strictest neutrality be-
tween the United States and all bel
ligerent nations.

keynotes of the organization when
he said it was up to the people OF
the United States, aside from those
who are making money, to band to-
gether and demand that congress
pass laws enabling the president to
declare an embargo on all war NUM-
lions to any country engaged in war
and to demand that American trade
with peaceful nations be not inter-
fered with. He also advocated a
massmeeting attended by thousands
who will endorse resolutions calling
for such action.
