report that Uskup has been re-captur-

million Russian troops through her
territory to attack Bulgaria from the
north.
Greece's Position
Greece has assured the Entente
rowers that her neutrality remains
friendly to them and has pointed out
that she already has given them as
sistance by permitting the landing OF
their troops at Saloniki.
On Eastern Front
On the other fronts there is little
change in the situation. In the West
artillery engagements remain the CHIEF
method of warfare, although there
has been some trench fighting. In the
East, the battle is still raging for
RIGA and Dvinsk, which for nearly
two months Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg has been endeavoring to
reach. first from. one point and then
from another. During the past week
the Germans have poured a deluge Of
shells on the Russian positions along
a. front of $50 miles from the mouth
of the Dvina to the south Of Dvinsk.
but although the Russians are falling
back the German gains do not appear
of serious permanent importance
Several trenches have been taken
from the Germans in the contest for
the La Courtine salient positions in
Champagne still occupied by the Teu-

addition the Germans are declared by
Paris to have lost nearly 1000 men in

France and Belgium.

LOOK FOR AND YOU'LL FIND II.

1t is a law ante-dating that Of the Modes and Persians that if a
man goes about looking for trouble he will find it.
And what applies to man IS "A n individual applies with equal
force to a nation.
No nation can train mel to fight without fostering the martial
spirit that is within them. No MAJ trained for fighting can long
continue as a pronounced and consistent champion of peace. One Of
The first things he'll want to do after he thinks he is prepared for
eventuaities is to put his theories to the test.
France was prepared for war three years ago, but declared itself
mreserycdly for peace. Great Britain, while not prepared for war,
vas doing it's best towards that end, but wildly and vociferousy
clamoIng for peace, even to the extent, if need be, of fighting to
preserve it. Germany, better prepared for war than any other nation
in the worlds history, proclaimed in tones of thunder, as it were,
that it stood for peace and continued peace.
And yet Germany for Ii generation had been looking for trou-
Bile; England had been looking for trouble; France had been looking
for trouble; Russia had been locking for trouble, and poor old Tur-
key, always in trouble, was out looking for more.
What is the RESULT The answer may be found in the ruins of
bleeding Belgium; may be seen from the hiltops of subjugated
Poland may be observed in the tens Of thousands of bleaching bones
scattered all the way from the Marine to the Polish capital, and may
be heard in the lannon's roar along the route through Serbia to the
hoae of the Unspeakabe Turk.
William Jennings Bryan is rght,-infnitely, potentially right
perhaps right for the first time in a generation,-but we're going to
disregard his advice, not because it is Bryans, nor because it is
right, but because the mania for wars preparation has siezed us.
When we shall have spent ten billions for preparation, and one
hundred billions, more or less, for war and on account CT war, and
shall have constructed monuments to the memory Of a million of ou1
sons and fathers, slain to quench a thirst for blood, we shall recall
Mr.. BrYan's words concerning the great mission of the Prince OF
Peace. A}H4S##@as..
