are rejected by the Senate are con- tinued in office under the authority of the recess commissions. For the present the purpose of the Senate has not been disclosed further than Tn the direction of fixed intention to reject all nominations that are sent to the Senate in opposition to the wishes of Democratic senators from states in which the nominees reside.
 Efforts At Compromise Futile.
 Various efforts have been made to effect a compromise that would pre- vent a split in the party, but nothing has come of them. The president has expressed willingness to listen to definite suggestions as to making selections for office that would satisfy senators and representatives. Mo- body has come forward with any plan that would provide solution. Repre- sentative Smith, of the Buffalo dis trict, told the president that he should return to the former practice of confirming selections of candidates to those persons who were indorsed by senators and representatives, but the president did not indicate wheth- CT he would take this proposal under consideration.
 The view is widely held that Presi- dent Wilson has determined to ignore the recommendations for office of Democra+ic ic senators who have not given cordial support to administra-> tion policies. He nominated MT. Lynn to be United States Attorney for the Western District of New York, in spite of the fact that Sen ator O'Gorman was opposed to Lynn and had recommended another candi- date. He nominated MT. Bland in opposition to the wishes of Senator Reed of Missouri, and he nominated MT. Hampton in the face of the knowledge that this action would be displeasing to Senator Maritime. These three senators are in the admins tration's bad books, and Senators Reed and Maritime are particularly unpopular at the White House on ac- rount of their persistent opposition to measures that were on the presi- dents program.

empire, but the rights of self-govern- ment were solemnly confirmed. Since then Russia has proceeded, step by step, to abrogate every right of the Georgians, till today the province has no vestige of independence. Even the Georgian language and national church are under prescription.
 It is in this region that the Turks have delivered their attacks against Russia. The Georgians, who heartily detest Russia, find Russia's tradition al enemy pounding at the defenses of the frontier.
 There can be little doubt that the men of Georgia, much as they hate Russian oppression, prefer the status quo to incorporation in the Ottoman empire Perennially discontented un- der Russian rule, they are now be- seeching Russia to protect them from what they consider worse fate. Czar Nicholas went to Georgia in per- son to inspire patriotism, and the Georgians received him with enthu- siasm and abundant manifestations of loyalty.
 The reason for Georgia's sudden de- votion to Russia is not far to seek Directly across the Russo-Turkish border lies Turkish Armenia. The Armenians, like the Georgians, a Christian people with a proud history, have for centuries suffered under Turkish persecution and misgovern- ment From time to time they have been subjected to atrocious massa- cres. Probably no people of all the world have such a story of misery and so little hope for the future.
 Georgia's lot is hard, but, compar- ed with that of Armenia, it is happy Russian oppression is the result of studied political doctrine; the op- pression of Turkey is mere insane savagery, encouraged by official con- nivance or incompetence.
 It is small wonder that the people who have most cause to hate Russia are not taking advantage of Rus sia's hour of need to turn against her. Some fates are worse than Russiti- cation, and Armenia, lying so near at hand, is an object lesson which cannot be ignored.-Ex.

BEYOND THE CAUCASUS.

Of all the crimes of oppression committed by Russian autocracy dur ing the nineteenth century, the crush ing of the Georgian nationality is the blackest. In Finland and in Poland solemn obligations have been repu- diated, and properly autonomous states have been reduced to a status of vassalage. But nowhere has the process of Classification been push ed so relentlessly and so far as in this land beyond the Caucasus.
 In 1773 the last King of Georgia concluded treaty with Russia which stipulated Georgian autonomy under Russian protection. In 1902 Georgia was formally annexed to the Russian

He Got the Cheapest.

Old Hiram Pinchon was born trader and penny pincher besides. He was never willing to pay the price of anything he wanted. and all the shopkeepers at the village dreaded to see him enter their stores.
 One day he did little trading at Nelsons shoe store. He tried on dozen pairs of boots, but could find nothing that was not too expensive. Then he guessed he would get pair of rubbers. He rejected pair that cost a dollar and another that cost G5 cents. Finally the clerk brought him pair for 50 cents. They seemed to fit well enough. but Hiram was still dissatisfied.
 "Hain't ye got any rubbers that are cheaper?" he asked.
 No, sir" declared the irritated clerk. i've haven't. That pair you've got on is the cheapest. poorest, most no ac- count rubber there is made!
 So Hiram bought them. - Youths Companion.

 not improved the temper of the sen ators. Some of them contend that such retention will be a direct vio- lation of the Constitution and the laws of the United States. One law on the subject is held to be par ticularly applicable to the case of MT. Bland. This law, which is Section l,761 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, says that no money shall be paid out of the Treasury as salary to any federal appointee whose nomination was rejected by the Sen ate, provided the vacancy to which this person was appointed occurred when the Senate was in session.
 Administration officials have said flatly that MT. Bland would be con- 1inued in office under the authority of the recess commission given to him by the president, and that when the Senate adjourned by constitution al limitation on March 4, 1915, Mr Bland's tenure would be renewed by the issuance of another recess com- mission.
 Vacancy Occurred Last February.
 By direction of the Judiciary Com mittee, Senator Culberson, it's chair man, wrote to Attorney General Greg ory for official data as to the status of MT. Bland. In reply the attorney general said that vacancy in the office of United States Marshal for the Western. Distinct of Missouri oc- cured on Feb. IS, 1914; that the fed eral court for that district designat- ed an officer to perform the duties of marshal temporarily, and that the official vacancy had existed until Dec 3, when the president, believing that the office had been vacant long enough, had given recess appoint ment to MT. Bland, and had subse- quently sent his nomination to the Senate.
 The Senate was in session on Feb. IS, 1914. when the vacancy in the of- flee of marshal occurred. On Dec. r 3, when a recess commission was giv- en to MT. Bland, the Senate, which had adjourned in October, had not assembled for the winter session. It did not meet until Dec. 2.
 Senators contend that the statute appears to apply to MT. Bland's case. While it is not clear that the statute excludes him from holding office, these senators hold that it seems to declare unequivocally that he shall not draw any compensation from the Treasury for his services.
 Nothing has developed so far to indicate what attitude the Senate will adopt If persons whose nominations

THE LITTLE NATIONS.

Never again let us hope, shall we scorn any nation because it is small. The greatest of wars has proved tho right of little countries, not only to exist, but to claim the admiration of the world. It has proved that na- tions cons 'dered negligible in war by the powers that presume to divide continents between them may have more spirit and valor, man for man and acre for acre, than have the na- tions that dwarf them on the map and in the census reports.
 Belgium is, of course, an example of independence and heroism that leaps instantly to mind. But it is questionable whether Servia does not merit even higher admiration for her unyielding attitude and vigorous de- fense of her own nationality.
 With a territory half the size of Ohio and but a few more inhabl- tants than Massachusetts, Servia dar- ed the power of the great Austro- Hungarian empire, backed by Ger many. Though crippled by two ter rife Balkan wars, she rallied her strength and dove out the Austrian armies with tremendous losses, and even pushed forward into Austrian territory. After four months of in- cessant warfare Servia seemed incap' able of longer resistance. Her forces were decimated by fighting and rav' aged by disease. Her people were starving. Belgrade was taken at last,-and the country seemed lost. Russia was too far away to help. Balkan enemies threatened her in her weakness.
 And then came miracle. Crush ed to the earth, the Servians rallied for a last stand. King Peter arose from a sick bed to lead forlorn hope. And to the amazement of the world the Austrian conquerers were beaten and flung back in complete demoralization beyond the Danube.
 Who can say that Switzerland, Hol- land, Denmark, Norway, sweden Greece, Bulgaria or Rumania would not show the same indomitable spir- it? Nothing is more false than, the prestige of merely 'big" nation and the snug assumption that every member of an empire derives merit and grandeur from the numbers around him.
 Greatness of soul has been found, in history, characteristic of little peoples rather than big ones. The glory of Greece was before the con- quests of Alexander. Rome produced few great men after she had sub9ued the world. The British names most honored are not those of the mod ern world-empire, but the names that won luster in the little England Of old. German genius has not blos- somed under the empire as it did when Germany was group Of sep arate states, and the military achieve ments of little Prussia under Fred erick the Great surpass anything the Germans have done or are likely to do in the present war.
 Consolation in industry and com merce is natural and inevitable, but there is no such argument for the consolation of nations. It is only a barbarous militarism that has blinded the modern world to the superiority in morale and efficiency of small states. Once let Europe adopt an in- ternational police system thatt will protect the little countries from bully ing, and hey may prove themselves even more clearly than in the past the superiors of their big, proud neighbors in nearly everything that constitutes real civilization.-Ex.

French Guns Keep Germans On the Move.

TTcIISIi SuUo NCCP SSIulduS VII IuS Move.
 LONDON, Jan. 1.-The offensive operations of the Allies in the west are being carried out under condl- tions of siege warfare and are be- ing stubbornly opposed by the Ger mans, who in their entrenchments and surrounded by wire entangle- ments, make an advance of even a few yards a costly matter for the attacking forces.
 In Flanders a little ground has been gained, at considerable cost de- spite the fact that along the coast the Allies have the assistance of war ships which continually Lombard the German positions. The advance has been more marked from the Belgian border south to the River Disc, where the ground is not so wet as in the flooded regions of Flanders.
 Along the Aisne and in the Cham pagne district the French artillery,
 
 which is now probably stronger than the German. has been busy keeping the Germans on the move; but in the Argonne region it is the Germans who are on the offensive, and they claim to have made a slight advance.
 The general opinion of military men here is that some time must elapse before the Allies can expect to make any very marked progress. Besides being in fortified positions, which could only be taken after hav- ing been thoroughly searched out hy the artillery, the Germans still have more machine guns than the A. lies, and. as has been proved in pre-

about three and one-half miles.
The electricity is to be generated
with power from the Swedish river
