The Elks' memorial service Sunday
afternoon was very impressive and
was attended by a large number.
Through an aisle of Elk brethren
the officers and speakers passed to
the stage which was prettily arranged
and decorated with flags and red and
white cut flowers as we'll as with
the insignia of the order.
First upon the program was the
beautiful opening memorial service
by the officers of Dickinson Lodge No.
1887. A. J. Osborn, past exalted
ruler, presided and the other officers
taking part were: H. A. Mackoff,
Esteemed Lecturing Knight; H. A.
Burgeson, Esteemed Loyal Knight;
H. J. Blanchard, Esteemed Leading
Knight; M. M. Burnett, secretary;
w. G. Ray, treasurer; w. J. Elliott,
esquire; D. A. Cutnaw, tiler; S. L.
Carroll, inner guard.
AS the name of each absent broth
er was called a little girl dressed in
white entered at the left bearing a
wreath of red and white carnations
and ferns which she placed upon the
altar, leaving the stage at the right.
The little ladies were: G%wendolyn
Lacy, Kathleen Brodie, Ramona Stur-
geon, Audrey Mcbride, Marion
Blanchard, Blanche Clarke, Josephine
Rudiselle, Marion Elliott, Lucille Dick
lnson, Fern Coleman, Marion Burnett,
Elizabeth Everett, Rosalind Brown.
The list of "absent brothers, fol-

Maurice Quinn, George M. Frye, A. H.
Lyle, L. A. Hart, C. E. Strahan,
James R. Smith, Edward Dietz, Dan
iel Manning, c.. S. Hodgson, Allison
Davis, P. J. Flynn.
After prayer by Bro. H. Anderson,
the music having been cancelled on
account of the illness of some who
were to appear, Bro. w. F. Burnett
delivered the "Eulogy," which was a
warm personal tribute to the men,
DRY of those gone before.
Bro. Osborn in introducing Judge
Andrew A. Bruce Of the state su-
preme court, who gave the address of
the afternoon, said the Dickinson
lodge began early to prepare for
this occasion and were able to secure
the best. Those who heard Judge
Bruce's address were convinced no
lodge could have a better speaker.
Judge Bruce said in the main:
1t isSwell for us to pause, once in
a while, and to face the great mystery
of life. It is well to think of our
brothers who have gone before. Some
migrated in the prime of life; some
when they were full of years, but all
with a sense of an incompleted work
and of a more or less incompleted
life. This sense of incompleteness is
the strongest argument that there is
next to divine revelation of immor-
tally. 1t is, in itself, a divine reve-
lation. .
1t is we'll for us then to remember

Balkan People Pessinistic
Over Dardanelles Campaign

Of Russian army on the Black sea
coast north of Constantinople and the
capture Of that city from the Chatolja
line in the rear. But here again the
lack of quick, energetic action on the
part of the allies defeated this plan.
with the arrival of German sub
marines off Constantinople the Turkish
fleet is now almost equal TO the naval
strength which Russia has Mt her dis
position in the Black sea.
IL is known that for several months
Russia has been holding nm army va
riously estimated from 100000 to 400,-
900 at Odessa for this descent on the
Black sea coast north Of Constantinople.
BY losing, however, the little naval su-
premncy she at first had In the Black
sea this has now been rendered utterly
impossible. While Wy sudden move
IL might be possible still TO effect tho
landing Of the troops, the general opin-
ion here is that the Russian fleet never
could keep open the line OF communities
tions, especially against the submarines,
necessary TO insure the continuance OF
the operations. Only q prcponderating
naval supremacy such az the allies have
in the Mcditerranean could do that.
In general, England, and especially
Churchill, are blamed here both for the
underestimaton Of the Turkish strength
and for the lack Of effective action.
The Balkans, however, are unanimous
in the belief that the whole cnmpnign
could be turned from n somewhat doubt
full one into one Of certainty by the
Intervention of Bulgaria on behalf of
the allies The whole OF the Turkish
strength IL today concentrated in the re-
sistancc at the Dardsnollos and ut Gal.
/ lipoi. Part of the cannon that are
now known to fairly briatle along the
entire peninsula Of Gallipoli are to be
found goodly portion of tho artillery
that formerly figured in the defenses
Of Adrianople and the Chatalja line.
The entire province of Thrace from the
Bulgaria frontier TO the gatos OF Com
stantinoplc IL dcclered TO have been al
most denudcd Of defense in order to
Withstand the attack at the straits.
That Turkey could not resist still anoth-
or attack on her rear Is everywhere
conceded here.
Unfortunately for the allios, however,
German diplomacy has so far been sue
ccssful in keeping Bulgaria from max
ing n decision In their favor. whether
she win be able to do this Till the end
Of the war remains to be- seen.

Germany's Statement.
BY Carl W. Ackerman'


Berlin, via The Hague, Aug. 26.-Ger-
many's position in the Arabic case,
based on the facts so far received, was
laid before the state department in
Washington today. 1t is believed the
first expression from the imperial gov
ernment through Ambassador Gerard
will pave the way for settlement OF
the incident.
The American ambassador filed long
code cable to Washington last night,
following conference with Foreign
| Minister Won Jagow. He would not
discuss the contents of the message to
the Washington government, but ex-
pressed the belief that the situation
growing out Of the sinking of the Ara
bic would be settled without break.
The cable outlining Germany's posi-
ton filed last night is the first of sew
eral messages which will probably be
forwarded to Washington regarding the
Arabic. Ambassador Gerard left a
luncheon party to meet Won Jagow at
the foreign office yesterday and this
conference marked the beginning OF
series Of informal discussions.
Germany has not yet received a re-
port from the commander of the sub
marine operating in Irish waters which
is supposed to have torpedoed the Ara
bic.

SERBIA IS WILLING
TO MEET TERMS
|NSUR|NG HER AID
Note Replying To Proposals
Of Allies Said To Be High
Satisfactory

London, Aug 26.-Serbia has taken
an important step toward securing tae
aid of other Balkan powers in an attack
on Constantinople, it was widely report.
ed in diplomatic circles today.
The Serbian note, replying to the
proposals Of the allies for concessions
to Bulgaria, has reached the Italian for.
eign office, and while it does not con
tain an unqualified agreement to cedc
Serbian Macedonia to Bulgaria, it pla
Gates Italy, according to usually well
informed circles. This paves the way
for n second step in the Balkan nego
tiations through which the allies nope
to secure the aid of Bulgaria.
1t is understood Serbia mas indicated
in the note TO the allies that the Nisl
government is not averse to making tht
desired concessions to Bulgaria, if SOM
assurances are given Serbia in return
The Serbian note is not believed TO b,
final. 1t was pointed out that if thu
Nish government had made a definit,
answer to tne proposals of the allies
the reply would probably have beer
sent simultaneously to all representa-
tives of the quadruple entente. II wa
forwarded only to Italy
1t is understood in Rome that Serbii
is not disposed to combat ltaly's claim
in Albania. There mas been some fric
ton between the two governments a
result of Serbia's occupation Of AL
banian territory, but with Nish recog
nizing Italian rights in that country
prospects were regarded as brighter TO
Bulgaria and Serbia agreeing upoi
terms which will insure Bulgaria 3 en-
trance into the war.
There was no confirmation here to
day of report to the Times tnat Aus
tria and Germany had notified Bulgarii
they intended to traverse Bulgarian ter
ritory in q new invasion Of Serbia.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Germany does
not want the United States drawn into
the war. Officialdom Is satisfied on
that point, which was the outstanding
feature in the international situation
today.
1t was tacitly admitted it had been
feared Germany desired the participa-
ton Of this country. If this was Ger
many's desire, it would be hard for the
American government to keep out.
The request of Ambassador Won Bern
storff, that the United States delay ac-
zion in the Arabic case until reports
could be received from Berlin largely
removed this apprehension and the con
ference between Secretary of State
Lansing and the German ambassador to-
day is understood to have eliminated 1t
entirely.
So far as the situation growing out
of the sinking of the Arabic is con
cerned, it is not pretended that any
progress was made today, as Germany
does not know the details Of the destruc'
ton Of the liner.
There is no longer any serious doubt
felt by anyone, however, that a settle
ment will be accomplished peaceably
Though the incident may result in ex
tended exchanges and call Of the exer
else for the greatest diplomacy, 1t Il
accepted as a practical certainty it vii

The state department had not re
ceived up to noon today the report o.
Ambassador Gerard on HIS conference
with Foreign Minister Won Jagow yes
terday. 1t is believed the ambassador
report, cablcd last night, may even. 6
further toward clearing up the situation
Following the half hours conferenc
between Lansing and Ambassador Vo'
Bernstorff, it was reported this after
noon that Germany had drafted repl,
to the latest American note regarding
the Lusitania. No confirmation of tn
report could be obtained.

Sophia, Bulgaria, July 3O--(By moil.)
Governmental, diplomatic and mill
tary circles generally throughout the
Balkans have become pessimistic to an
extreme degree regarding the success
Of the allies campaign against the Oar
daneles. The almost unanimous verdict
is that the action was both ill.advisod
and ill.planned.
In the first place IL is declared the
allies unquestionably undorcstimated
the strength Of the Turks. They are de-
clared evidently to have taken into
consideration only the weakness shown
during the two Balkan wars and to have
overlooked entirely the regeneration
and reorganization which has taken
place in Turkey since the Young Turks
secured full control Of the govern
ment. -
In the second place the lack of quick
vigorous, effective action in the exeeu
ton Of the plan Of attack is roundly
criticised. II on tine day the allies
bombarded the Dardanolles fortifica
tions for the first time, the fleet ha'
been sent through the strnits regard
less of cost, IL Is the general impres
sion here the Dafdanelles would have
been forced.
Now the forcing Of the straits 10y th'
fleet IN regarded as an absolute I'm
possibility, the Turks havoing had am
pie time TO prepare defenses OF tn
most modern and adequate kind.
Similar criticism is also lcvclle'
against the land action on the peninsula
Of Gallipoli. Not only did the allie
underestimate greatly the strength o
the Turks but they allowed ample tim
for the latter TO make up all OF tn
weaknesses and defects in their dcfens
that would have been open to n lrG'
pttnck made simultaneous with the frs
/ bombardment Of the straits last Feb
rrary instead Of two months later
While II Is not estimated here tina
the final capture Of Consinntinople b.

opinion that now that the uttnck ha
been reduced to n basis OF trench wal

Vast sums of money were spent at
Brest-Ltovsk by the Russians, who re-
garded conquering Of the fortress as
practically impossible. The threat of
the AustroG Germans against it became
really serious after Warsaw was cap
tured on August s.
Some military critics rated Brest-
Litovsk as of more strategic import
ance than Warsaw. Its capture makes
the surrender of the entire Kovno-
Brest- -Litovsk line imperative and tine
fall of the fortresses of Bielostok and
Grodno is now expected at any time
The Russians who retreated from the
fortress base are believed to be with
drawing to the east and northeast.
Their right wing is protected by forests
on the north while their left is guarded
by marshes and swamps which seriously
delayed the advance of the Austro
Germans.
The ease with which Brest -Litovsk
was captured caused the greatest sur
prise. The direct attack against the
fortress had been in progress only a
few days. Although the initial state
ment- from the war office made no an
nouncement of the number Of prisoners
taken, it is believed several thousand
must have been captured, as Russian
strategy did not contemplate the sur
render of the fortress for at least a
fortnight.
The Slavs had firmly counted on
Brest-Litovsk as. their base after War
saw fell. No other city possesses the
railway and natural advantages for an
important base nearer than Moscow or
Petrograd. 1t had the transportation ad-
vantages, not only OF several railroads
but of the Bug river, which is navig-
able.
