the Russians. This move compelled
the Russians to abandon their at
tempts in East Prussia, and by the
end of the month the Germans had
pushed the foe across the Russian
border.
About the same time the Austrian
forces had defeated the Russians so
d~ecisively in the Carpathian mountains
that they had been compelled to aban-
don nearly all of Galicfa and Buko-
wilma. German soil was at last vir.
tually free of enemies.
An attempt to capture Cracow, in
western Galicia, had followed as a
part of the Russian plan to gain a foot
hold in Austrian territory. They had
pushed their column westward from
Lemberg in the autumn of 1914 and
left behind them the Austrian citadel
of Przemysl. This place capitulated
late in March, 1915, and Russians be-
gan a new drive over the Carpathians
to Hungary with the troops which had
been laying siege to Przemysl. But the
Austrians promptly launched a force
eastward from the Cracow base. This
was successful and turned the Russian
line, facing southwark upon the slopes
of the mountains.
Throughout the winter the allies had
announced a spring drive, "the real be-
ginning of the war" About that time
there was a beginning of a new phase

trian troops having formed a junction

The i'll fortune of the German navy
was apparent at the beginning OF the
year. The strongest squadron afoat,
that Of Captain Spec, comprising five
cruisers, had been wiped out in the
south Pacific ocean in December. A

Naval War Zones.
Naval warfare took on a new phase
early in 1915. This, however, was
not due to the elimination OF Ger
many's naval forces from the high
seas. Great Britain had declared its
purpose to close the ports OF Germany
in order to stop food and other sup

On the western front no progress has
been made of any moment by either
side. The imposing lines in France
and Belgium remain practically where
they were at the beginning of 1915.
The German right flank was near Nieu-
port, on the British channel. Passing
generally southwark, the opposing
lines extended through Ypres, Lille,
Arras, to Noyon, in France.
Near Noyon the lines bent eastward
and ran along the rivers past Scissors
on to Rheims and Yerdun. Taking Il
stretch southeastward, trenches and
detached forts and fortified places car
rled the fighting zone to the border of
Switzerland, mainly on French soil
and partly on German territory in
the province of Alsace. This line of
about 400 miles In length has been

German submarines led to a crisis in
the relations between this country and

was the resignation of Secretary of

THE BUILDING

Whereto the year thy hopes shall lead
Toward what proud heights, in ines OF

The world may look to read thy name.
But know that in the deepmost wales,
Where heroes strive and courage pales,
Amid the wilderness and fen,
Along the beaten paths of men,
Where, face to face with common things
Gods saints hs We known their stress and

There, brave to share the lot of all,
Shalt thou endure thy part or fall.
There only shalt thou raze or rear
Thy building of another year.

main line Of defense east of Warsaw.
Meanwhile interest in the movements
on the eastern frontier was enlarged
by the developments southwark, in.
yolving most directly Russia and Aus
tria. The allies under the leadership
of Great Britain attempted in Febru-
arr to open up Constantinople for Rus
STA. This would enable Russia to re-
ceive supplies from the Mediterranean.
The movement began by a lombard
ment of the Dardanelles in February
by allied warships. This failed, but
In March another and more powerful
feet opened fire on the Turkish forts
along shore. The ships were roughly
handled, three ~battleships being sunk
and two put out of action In a single
day.
Throughout the spring and summer
months operations of the allied fleets
and armies before Constantinople were
ftful, and toward the close Of the year
the expedition seemed a failure.
Spring Drives In France.
Meanwhile the allies on the western
front essayed an early spring drive
and on March 10 broke through the
German line at Neuve Chapelle,
France, where a three days battle en-
sued. Nothing definite was gained by
either side. Again, at the end of April,
spring operations began In France, this
time the Germans taking the often

Vosges mountains. In Belgium they
broke up an offensive by the allies by
letting loose volumes of asphyxiating
gas, which paralyzed the energy of
the foe. The battle ragged at Ypres
for two days, to the advantage of the
Germans.
No vigorous drive was made on this
front till September. this notwith-

Germans and Austrians on other fields.
Early In May the Germans and Aus

Cracow base. On the 10Th thev were

Bowser noticed that he didn't knock

~ down on cats, and the Bowser cat
had been an inmate Of the family for
many years. But MI. Bowser Is rather
erratic. Sometimes he seems to love
cats, and again his glare Of malevo-
lence sends them hustling for life.
Mrs. Bowser sat reading a book, and
all was quiet and content within the
house. Even the cook had broken her
last dish in doing up the dinner dishes.
The cricket on the hearth was getting
ready to chirp when there came a
sound like a human chuckle.
Which was it and who was it?
The sounds were repeated, and Mrs.
Bowser looked up. Mr.. Bowser was
the guilty party. He chuckled again
as he finally stroked the cat. Indeed,
his chuckle became a cackle, and the
cackle finally reached the ha! ha!
stage.
"What on earth is the matter with
you?" exclaimed Mrs. Bowser in tones
Of establishment.

"Once upon a time" began the teach
er, "two little brothers started to Sun
day school one Sunday morning. Their
way led past a fine orchard, where
the trees were bending down with
ripe. luscious apples. One of the broth
ers proposed going into the orchard
and getting some fruit, but the other
refused and sped away. leaving his
companion greedily d%evouring the ap-
pies.
"Now, it happened that the owner of
the orchard saw them, and the next
