Lord Kitchener Arrives AT
Rome From DardaneIles
District

London, Nov. 26-Convinced that the
general German retirement from the
Dvina line, marks abandonment of Teu-
tonic hopes of capturing Riga before
spring, military experts are interested
today concerning the choice the Ger
mans will make for their winter line.
That they have already prepared
trenches and entanglements to the rear
is likely, but how far back is not
known.
The breakdown of the German Of
fensive is attributed to an increase of
Russian munitions, to German shortage,
and to the weakening of the German
line for reinforcing the Balkans.
Press reports today said that evacua-
tion of Mitau is under way, and that
great lines of trenches, hidden by
miles of barbed wire, are building in
the rear, while further back field rail
way lines are being thrown up to con-
meet with the center of Germany.

Then they enjoyed "the joke" Immensely. He was chaffed unnerci. fully. There was only one person present who did not join in the fun against him. He remained silent and when the money saver left he took an opportunity of slipping out after him hnd congratulated him on his common sense in providing for rainy day. Then he informed him that he himself had often thought Of doing the sam. thing. but circumstances had always been against him, and just then he was at his wits ends. Would the Saver ,oind lending him, say, ten. Ipot till Sunday? He did not get it and became from that time one of the mos, bitter ridiculers of saving as tending to make & man think of nc one but himself.
