RUSSIANS THIRD LINE
ISA DESOLATE COUNTRY
Dreariest Belt in Empire Will Be
Used to Illustrate German
Invaders.

Chara of the long tertiary
line of Russian defense, to which the
Muscovites may retreat in consequence
of the German successes south of Cour-
land, and which reaches from the mar
rows of the Gulf of Finland, south, to
the Rumanian Danube, are discussed
in the last bulletin issued by the Ma
tional Geographic Society. Roughly
estimated, this line extends more than
thousand miles. crossing plains. lake
country, rolling hills, impossible
swamps and through dense forest belts.
Almost throughout it's whole extent
winter is bitter and rigorous. With the
German armies able to force the aban-
Comment by the Russians of the Brest-
Litovsk line, and with a continuation
of their advance into the vast empire,
the battles that are to decide the future
fate of Europe may be fought out along
this third line of Russian defensive
The bulletin reads:
Russian Third Line.
Probably the dreariest belt in all
Russia is that through which the third
line of Russian western defense is
traced. This line runs through the mid
die of the white Russians country, a
land of backwardness and poverty,
where an unfavoring nature and a past
whose history is full Of luckless chance
have, alike, proved stepmotherly to the
development of the country and it's
people. The sections of this line of
immediate interest are those beginning
at Riga, on the Baltic, and following
the broad Dvina river to Duenaburg,
turning south at Duenaburg and fol-
lowing the railway through Wilma, Ida,
Baranovichi, into the trackless swamps
of Pinsk and the Pripet river. to Dovno,
100 miles east-northeast of Lemberg.
THE northern part of this line is re-
inforced by a line from Duenaburg.
behind Wilma and Ida, which is based
upon the marshes Of Pinsk Much of
the surface of these marshes would
be unfeasible for military operations
not undertaken in aeroplanes and dir
igibles. There is. however, no other
present stretch of railway SO favorably
situated parallel with the Russian front
as the stretch Immediately behind the
Brest-Litovsk line. from Osowiec to
Kovel, and that just before the third
line. from Wilma through Ida, Bara-
novich to Rovno. There is one line of
rail- running southeast, the Wilma
Minsk Gomel stretch, and another line
from Minsk southwest to Baranovichi,
and thence by the present outpost
transverse line to Rovno.

Sarah Lee stood at the window and
looked hard at the slanting summer
rain. Every drop seemed to fall with
cold finality on her heart. drowning
her dreams and all her foolish, pretty
plans for new gown and hat and a
real vacation that summer. Not that
the rain had anything at all to do with
her disappointment. 1t was merely one
of the added discomforts. On this
day. when she had expected to be so
perfectly happy. she was undergoing the
first really big test of her character.
There's no way out" she thought;
mother must go to the springs for
her health. And I can't go anywhere.

wear. 1t Will take all the money to
send her.
1t was not the loss of the clothes or
of the vacation itself for which Sarah
was grieving: it was for the fact that
she was losing her one opportunity to
meet Mark Cable again. and perhaps
win him TO care for her as much as
the winter before when she was visit
ing her cousin. Mrs. Bond, at Aries.
for few days. The moment she saw
him she knew that he was different
from all the other men she had ever
known. Before the visit ended she
realized that if he went out of her life
forever he was going to leave ter
rible emptiness and heartache. once
he came to Westmore to call on her.
but while hope was still beautiful
Cousin Eleanor wrote that he was pay
ing attention to Miss Culigan, the new
soloist at st. Christophers In the
same breath she added: You must
come and spend your vacation with me
this summer. Sarah-two whole weeks
of it. And do have a blue dress of
some kind. Blue is very becoming to
you"

saved and her vacation was scheduled

the standpoint of education alone pc
cause the government schools are not
sufficient to meet the demand.
The new program, he continued. I'M
doubtedly aimed at the Naturalization
of Korean youth more primarily than
at educa tional breadth. In other words,
the first object. as Governor General
Terauchi himself said. was to make
good japanese citizens of Koreans
But" continued DR.. Adams, the ad-
ministration seems not entirely free
from their obsession that the mission
airy body is opposed to them. when, as
are one of the most efficient coadjutors
in the ends they are seeking. They
seek to build up a national strength
through material means: we aim to
build up the spiritual life. which. we
believe, is the strongest motive availa-

teach that the morals of the people are

In Pursuance of Policy.

Other missionaries here have been in
formed by Japanese authorities that
the fundamental policy of the japanese
empire is that with regard to religious
faith the state shall not impose its Will
on it's subjects in any manner what-
soever.
1t is merely in pursuance of that POI,
icy that the governor general decldeo
that Korean youths should be left free
to acquire a general education without
any religious imposition and DECIDED
that this could only be done by sepa,
rating religious teaching from general
education.
However. the authorities have al
lowed it to be understood that later on
in years when education in Korea mas
made the progress that it has made IN

ent regulations may be authorized

More than 200 miles of the line di-
rectly below Minsk is through morass
and marsh land, whose defense will be
little cause of worry to the Russians.
vast part of this Waterlogged area
to the north of the Pripet swamps has
been included in great Russian recla-
nation projects. and millions of rubles
have been expended to obtain a proper
drainage for the land, whose thick
crust of black earth, decayed vegeta-
ton, is expected to be among the most
fruitful farm land in the black earth

Miss Henrietta Roberts

The community was saddened Mon
| day Afternoon by the death OF Miss
Henrietta Roberts al her late home on
Warren street. Her death was due to
Brisht's disease. Miss Roberts was
born in Lewiston Aug. 50, 1864, but
lived practically all of her lie in this
city. She attended the Schools of this
city and graduated from the Classical
Institute in 1884. For IS years she vas
q teacher in the public schools, teach
ing mostly in this city. Her work as
a teacher was uniformly successful. she
loved children and invariably won their
love and respect in return. She taught
them not only lessons fror. books but
lessons in character and life that have
had a moulding influence On many
lives.
In 1887 Miss Roberts became a neicl-
, Der OF the Hallowell Methodist church,
uniting on profession of faith, and ever
since had been a most active worker
so far as her health and strength would
permit On Thursday evening of East
er week Miss Roberts presided at a
meeting which marked the 18th ami
versary Of the Hallowell Junior League
of which she was the organizer. nd
had been the continuous president.
This meeting was the last public SER
vice she attended. For several years
this league had the distinction Of being
the banner league Of the State in NUM-
bers and efficiency. 1t is impossible to
estimate the amount of good Miss Rob-
erts effected over the lives Of the young
people with whom she was thus con-
neoted. II was a source of satisfaction
mentioned by her in her last sickness
that from the league one young lady
had gone to become a deaconess and a
young student for the ministry
The deceased is survived by an aged
mother. Mrs. Sarah Roberts. and by
sister, Mrs. Mrs. Bessie McQuarrie
Funeral services will be held at the
late home at the corner of Warren and
