No Change Reported on Either tho Eastern CT Italian Fronts-Says
 Turkey Seeking Peace.

London. - Except for a sharp con- fiict in the Argonne, where the Ger man official communication claims an attack by the crown princess army was crowned with complete success" but which the French report says was re- pulsed, there has been little beyond the usual artillery actions and the bombardment of points of concentra- tion.
 This is the second success claimed for the crown prince in the Argonne during the last few weeks. but as in the previous case there is a complete conflict of testimony between the two headquarters. The Germans state they took nearly 5000 prisoners, while the French, although admitting that their line momentarily gave way, declare that their counter-attacks arrested the progress of the Germans and drove them back
 There Is no change reported on either the eastern or Italian fronts, while reports that Turkey is seeking q separate peace; that some change in the Balkan situation is imminent and that the allies have made further progress on the Gallipoli peninsula still lack official confirmation.

What Are Snappine Turtles?

Nature and Science for Young Folks, an immensely popular depart ment in St. Nicholas, is just what its title indicates. In 1t are gathered many items of interest about the earth and its inhabitants. as we'll as the inhabitants of water and air. The writer of description of snapping turtles concludes with the following paragraph;
 Considered from a scientific stand point, the turtle is of some interest, for. although classed with the rep tiles, he has many of the attributes of other groups; thus he has a shell like the mollusks, legs like the man. mals, lays eggs like the birds, can live in the water or on the land like cer- tain amphibians. and hibernates in the mud during the cold season as do many of the other cold-blooded crea- lures. The fact that his flesh is edi. ble. however. and that turtle soup is somewhat of a delicacy, marks his chief claim to distinction with many of us."
