Saturday and Stopped at

Last Saturday afternoon was Il
great day for the kids in DEBORAH, as
Santa Claus had announced his COM

of the store. 1t rested on the side
walk in front of the store and reach

Santa Claus arrived on the afternoon

while and then appeared at the Ora

Santa in giving out the gifts, and he
proved an adept hand at the task.

to Santa's letter of last week when
he told the children through an ad-

to tell him what they wanted for
Christmas. The letters below are

Great Britain is now offering Greece the island of Cyprus in exchange for an agree ment on her part to join the allied cause. Greece is considering the cfser and it is stated that she is to return her answer to the proposi- tion within the next few days.
 It is understood that the offer has the sanction of all allied diplo- mats. NJ. Sasancff. the Russian military minister. voices the belief that the allies are justified in adonting any kind of measure which would keep their common enemy from taking advantage of the neu- trality of third power.

It is un- derstood that Greece has refused transfer to her of the title to the 'sland of Cyprus.
 The forces of General von Mack ensen are reported to have received reason for the seizure is not given Morava valley inSerbia.

That the Serbians are more than holding their own against the Bull garians is evidenced by the dis patches of today. Further fighting took place today in Bulgarian terri tory, heavy losses being adminis- tered to the Bulgarian forces east of Strumnitza. The Serbians are stated to be maintaining their front all along the Bulgarian border, the Bulgarans having been entirely un- able to accomplish their intention of cutting the railroad to Salonik and preventing the coming of allied troops to the aid of the Serbians
 Non Mackensen's s forces in the north are also stated to be moving but slowly. on account of the re, sistance of the Serbians. The lat ter are entrenched strongly in the mountains south of Belgrade Many women are said to be fighting in the Serbian ranks.
 A squadron of the allied fleet in the Mediterranean has sailed for the east under sealed orders, It is believed that it goes to assist in the blockade of the southern coas, of Bulgaria
 Italy has formally declared war on Bulgaria, according to dispatch es from Rome. It is expected that 15O,000 Italian troops will soon be dispatched to the assistance of the allies in the Balkans. A large part of the force has already sailed and the remainder is expected to leave within the next few days
 General Ian Standish Monteith Hamilton, leader of the allied forces on the Gallipoli peninsula, and the man who has been in active charge of operations there, has been re- called, according to London dis patches, having been ordered to re port at London immediately. His successor is Major General Charles Carmichael Munroe, an experienced militari3t.
 The recall of General Hamilton IS the cause of much speculation in London. Many people are of the opinion that it is move in the right direction. while General Hamilton's friends are strongly criticising the war office for his withdrawal
 Sir Edward Carson, the attorney general in the coalition cabinet has resigned his portfolio, despite the objections of his friends. It is be- lieved in London that his resigna- tion will be followed by those of other members of the cabinet
 Sir Edwards successor has not yet been named. Nor is it probable that a successor will be named until the recovery of Prime Minis ter Asquith is assured. The prime minister is said to be very ill with gastro intestinal catarrh, and it is stated that his physicians refuse to allow him to do any work what ever for the next several days, at least.

THRusTs OF A FREE LANCE.

The Intelligencer notes with pleas.
ure that the Fairmont West virginian
continues to be enlivened occasionally
by some graphically written articles
signed by Mr.. L. NJ. Davis. its former
editor. Those we have read are illumi-
native of the situation at Charleston
brought about by the failure of the
legislature to meet the requirements
of the constitution in providing sufici.
ent revenues for the current obliga-
lions of the state. Mr.. Davis ably and
convincingly combats the arguments of
the representatives Of special privil.
eyes, who maintained the two revenue
bills turned down by the senate were
of a confiscatory character.
In defending the course of the gov
ernor in refusing to borrow money
from the special funds for which the
state Is trustee. Mr.. Davis is clear in
argument and impressive in logic. He
is doing good educational work in
opening the eyes of the people to the
sophistries Of the eminent epistola-
rians, the auditor and the attorney
general, who are muddying instead of
clarifying the misunderstanding In

THE LEGISLATIVE DILEMMA.

Lo, our poor Legislators and other
public officials! The difficulties Of
situations will almost never let them
stand for the interests of one group
without standing on the feet of an
other group. Any legislator at all, If
you approach him in such a way as
not to arouse his supcision, will tell
you he is heartily in favor Of a re-
duced cost OF living for the benefit OF
his dear, dear constituents who furn-
ish the voters, provided 1t can be
accomplished without lowering prices
and thus injuring the profits Of his
dear. dear influential friends who
furnish the campaign funds OF himself
and his party. Thus Is the legislative
conscience hamstrung and the legis-
lative field Of activity circumscribed
by the inexorability of the regulation
surrounding addition, subtraction and
division, and thus does modern politics
require legislators to be in favor of
both high cost of living and low cost
OF living at the same time.-Life.
