TEUTONS OPEN ROAD
TO CONSTANTINOPLE
Junction OF German And Bulgarian
Troops Viewed In Berlin As Be-
ginning or The End In
Near East Campaign

London, Oct. 27.--The Ger
mans have opened road for
troops from Berlin to Constan-
tinople. The junction points of
the Teuton and Bulgarian arm
les is in northeastern Serbia
near the Rumanian frontier and
about Is miles from thee Hun
garian border. Before line
for heavy transport can be
opened the Austro-Germans will
face serious fighting. They
must gain control of the Bull
grade-saloniki line as far as
Nish before they will have thru
communication by rail with the
Turkish capital. Progress on
this front is reported by Berlin.
The opening Of a direct route
to Constantinople through Ser
bia and Bulgaria is hailed i'm
Berlin as a forerunner Of the to-
tai collapse of the allies OAR
danelles expedition, of an inva-
sion of Egypt add a blow at the
Suez canal. 1t is declared to be
the ending of the first stage of
the war in the Near East. The
Germans, is expected, as soon
as they complete control of the
railway, will adopt their tactics
of the eastern and western
fronts and content themselves
with establishing strong defen-
sive positions against attacks
by the Serbians and the REIN
forcements which are being
paused into the theatre by the
French and British and divert
main forces to a campaign
against British domination in
the Orient.

Fairmont, w. Va, Oct. 3D.
With the Knights of Pythias

ings will be held in West Vir-
GINA in November in the fol-
lowing towns: Clarksburg,

Keeper of Record & Seal will be
present with the original Rath-
bone Bible and officiate as Pre-
late, and the rank of Page con-
ferred on a large class of appli-
cants.
This bible was presented to
Justus Rathbone, founder of
the Order Knights of Pythias,
by his mother, more than 80 yrs
ago and when her son was a
boy in school. 1t was used by
him on the night of Feb. 10Th,
1864, when he obligated the first
Knight of Pythias and the char
ter members of Washington
lodge No. /.
This feature with the Knights
has proved a most popular one
and classes of this character
have been held all over the Uni
ted States bringing into the Or
der thousands of members, as
it is an extraordinary honor to
receive the Page degree by the
use of this noted bible.
One member from each lodge
in Marion County constitute a
general committee to arrange

AMBASSADOR HAS
MADE NO REPORT
Washington Not Advised of Inter-
view Between Gerard and
William.

Washington, Oct. 28.-Am-
bassador Gerrary's recent con-
ference with Emperor William
is causing much speculation in
official quarters here. Secreta-
ry Lansing stated today that
the Ambassador had not been
directed to visit the Emperor
and that no report of the con-
ference has been received. 1t
is generally presumed that on
the return of the Emperor to
Potsdam the Ambassador made
an informal visit in the interest
of German-American relations.
The satisfactory settlement of
the Arabic case gives ground
for the belief that the Ambassa-
dor might have sought the En-
peror's views on several diplo-
matte questions which have been
held in allegiance owing to the
submarine controversy.

BRITIAN'S OFFER OF ISLAND
TO GREENCE HAS LAPSED, SIR
EDWARD GREY TELLS HOUSE
Failure of Greence to Enter the War
Assignated as Reason BY British
Foreign Secretary.

London, Oct. 26.-Great Bri-
tain's offer of the Island of Cy-
prus to Greece has lapsed be-
cause the conditions under
which the conditions under
been fulfilled. Sir. Edward Grey,
Secretary of Foreign Affairs,
informed the House Of Commons
this afternoon. The foreign
secretary told the house that in
the very critical situation in
which Serbia found. herself the
Allies were bound to obtain if
possible the only assistance inn
mediately available. According
ly Great Britain informed
Greence that if she would give
her full immediate support to
Serbia against Bulgaria, Great
Britain was prepared to give
her Cyprus.
The answer to the question of
how far, if at all, the govern
ment will meet the demand for
fuller information regarding
the war, will not be known until
Thursday, when Premier Asquit
returns to the House of Com
mons. A dozen queries, dealing
with all phases of the war, were
propounded today, but all post
poned in consequence of the
premier's absence the only sat
isfaction vouchsafed the pro-
Founders being the promise of
David Lloyd George minister of
munitions, that Premier Asquith
intends shortly to make full
statement regarding the pro-
gress of the war"

A most pleasant feature of

ner served on the ground.
There was plenty on hand for
every teacher of Barker and

and it was prepared in such an
appetizing way as to tempt one
to eat whether he were hungry
or noC. Culinary skill is not
on the decline in that neighbor-
hood. .
One of the subjects discussed
was, "Is the teaching Of Home
Economics in the country
schools practical" The con-
sensus of opinion seemed to be
in the affirmative. This is an
up-to-date, practical subject,
worthy Of careful thought on
the part of all interested in ed
ucation and we mean to discuss
it more fully at a later date.
