there is no news of any landing or move ment of troops.
 On both the eastern and western fronts the artillery as was the case last win ter, is doing the heaviest part of the work, apd it appears doubtful whether either side will attempt an early offen- sive.
 Italy, on the other hand, undeterred by winter, is pushing her offensive and rendering the Austrian hold on Goriza and Rovereto daily more uncertain.
 The Turks again have been showing some activity in Gallipoli and claim minor successes against the allies. However, no big action has been fought
 German anxiety over Roumania is matched by that of the allied powers with regard to Greece Last week it was be- leved that all difficulties between Greece and the allies had been surmounted but it was found necessary to send another note to Greece. the reply to which is promised Monday.
 The allies now demand not only assur- ances of the safety of their troops, but adequate railway facilities for their trans port. the withdrayal of Greek troops from the vicinity of Salonilli and the po- licing of Greek waters against German submarines.

 T did not learn her name or designat- ing number, but she was one of the largest boats of her kind have ever seen. The captain of the Sailor Prince told me that he recognized her as the one that had sunk his ship some hours previous, although at that time. he said, she flew the Austrian colors. Her deck armament consisted of two 12-pounders, which were in plain sight as she came alongside the Barulos. The Sailor Prince. her captain said, was given 20 minutes to get her crew into the boats before she was sunk by nine shots fired into her hold"
 Available shipping records here do not contain the name Barulos. This may be due to frequent changing of names and remaining of ships captured in the war zone.

London, November 2S.-The greater portion of what re- mains of the Servian northern army Is b elieved to have crossed into the mountains of Albania and NJ on gro, where the Serbs, with the aid of King Nicholas troops and SUD- plies reaching them from the Adriatic, are continuing to of fer stern resistance to the Austro-German and Bulgarian invaders. Like the Belgians, however, the Servians hold only a fringe of their country, which widens as 1t reaches the northwestern corner, of which Monastir is the center.
 For some reason, variously eX plained, the Bulgarians have halted their march on Monastir Some dis patches say that, having reoccupied part of Macedonia largely inhabited by their fellow nationals, the Bulgarian people and government are disin- clined to push farther west, and on this point are in disagreement with their Austro-German allies, who are determined to drive not only the Ser vians and Montenegrins, but the French and British troops out of the Balkans
 Though at the present time they have largely superior forces the task may prove a difficult one. Winter has set in and the natives predict that it will be severe. Snow fell at Saloniki Satur- day for the first time in eight years, which is taken as a sign that in the mountains of the peninsula there will be a heavy fall.

POLITICAL SCHEMERS ALREADY BUSY FIGURING ON AGE-HERALD CONVENTION

 Nonsense" said Troup Brazelton. Every man and woman at that con vention will have a favorite and you are going to see a mighty pretty scrap for that s750 player piano."
 It is understood George McClery has already said some Rotarian ought to win that convention prize, and that he is going to make it his business to look after it.
 Frank Ruston, also a Rotarian, may decide that his loyalty is first to the

 But if the suffragists put out a can didate it will upset the dope, for the old-time politicians won't know just how to figure on their strength. Old time politicians, though, say the ladies cannot agree among themselves.
 All you have to do to become a dela- gate to the convention is to write an advertisement-any kind, any size, any length-and get it inserted in The Age Herald before December 23.
 The convention will decide which is the best advertisement written during the month, and award the $750 player piano to the winner.

Ages and ages ago. before this present world war began, suffragists were &C., customed to being told in all seriousness that if women would vote they should also fight and do police duty. Rarely, if ever, is this so-called objection brought to light nowadays, in the face of present day con- ditions. For in the countries at war women are playing an enormous part, bearing their share and more; and in the peaceful nations their value as police women is being more and more recog nized.
 The objection was never valid one. for all men over 45 are exempt from military service, yet they vote.
 So long as the old, the infirm the halt, the lame and the blind are admitted free ly to the ballot box, some better reason must be found for excuding women than the fact that they do not fight.
 A suffrage meeting was recently held at Newport on board the torpedo de- atroyer Bepham, at the invitation of one of it's officers. we are in your class '' said tho sailors to the women conduct ing the meeting. We can't vote, either, Women, children and naval men cannot veto. We will help you wherever we can, because we know what it is to work for your country and to love it, and yet have nothing to say in the government" :" When told that one of the arguments against women voting is that they cannot fight in defense of their country, they Tad hearty laugh, saying, And we can. not vote because we do fight for the country
