An hour later, however, it was the
Margery of the Wahaska renais-
sance, joyously clad and radiant who
was holding the reins over a big Eng
lish trap horse. parading down Main
street and smiling greetings to every
body.
BY one of the chances which he was
willing to call fortunate, Edward Ray
mer was at the curb to help her down
from her high seat in the trap when
she pulled the big horse to a stand in
front of her fathers bank.

said. with his eyes shining

There isn't, and there oughtn't to

Wahaska as your home. and now

"Why shouldn't II" she laughed, and
she was reaching for a paper-wrapped
package on the trap seat when he got
1t for her.
"YOu are going somewhere? -may l

shook her head and took it from him.
"Only into the bank" she explained;

SEVERE TEST|N
.DARDANELLES
First Blizzard Reported to
Have Found the Turks
Wholly Unprepared
ny ASSOCIATED PREss.


London, Dec. 13.-Winter in the
Dardanelles is proving to be a Sc
we're test for the Australians and
Turks alike. Reuters correspondent
at this front reports that the first
blizzard of early December found tho
Turks entirely unprepared. 1t was
necessary for them to evacuate sew
eral positions, as the trenches were
flooded.
The bodies Of several Turkish sol.
diers, as well as number Of dead
mules were washed down into the al.
lied trenches. Prisoners taken by tho
Australians were poorly clad and the
correspondent says, reported the Tur-
kish troops were on half rations pend
ing an improvement in their COM
munications.
The colonial troops, including the
Maoris from New Zealand withstood
the cold, although many of them had
never seen snow before. The British
authorities believe that owing to their
hardy physique and excellent equip
ment, the colonials will get through
the winter in satisfactory condition.

Reported a Federal Grand
Jury Will Probe Cruise of
Schooner Lucy H.

PRESENT OWNERSHIP
This, as Well as Her Destin-
alton on Recent Trip,
Still a Mystery

That the voyages of the American
schooner Lucy H.. now in the hands
of the United States marshal at PEN
sacola, will be the subject of an in
quiry on the part of the federal grand
jury which convenes today at Gaines

based on the character of the wit
nesses that are now under subpoena
to appear before the jury tomorrow.
The ownership of the schooner is
still as much matter Of mystery as
that of her recent voyage down to
Key West and then to some unknown
place, presumably Tuxpam, Mexico,
where the government in the charges
filed when the schooner was seized,
claims she landed arms, ammunition
and troops allied with the Villa rev.
olutionists.
The Lucy H., went out Of Pensa-
cola in September and no secret was
made of the fact that she carried
cargo of arm and ammunition, for
such was cleared from the custom
house in regular order and she started
presumably for Havana, for which
port she cleared, but she never landed
there. On the contrary she put into
Key West. There she remained for
several weeks aud then proceeded out
without ciearance papers, for which
she was chased by revenue cutter,
but eluded that vessel and proceeded
on TO Mexico with her cargo.
It is understood that the grand
jury at Gainesville will take up this
matter and that the federal officers
have summoned several residents of
Pensacola who are supposed to know
of the voyage and ownership of the
schooner.

New York, Dec. 13.-Officers and
passengers of the American steam
ship Carolina that arrived here to-
day from Porto Rico, brought first
hand details of the stopping of that
steamer and removal of her chief
steward, Karl Schaade, by the
French cruiser Descartes on Decem-
Der 5. The Carolina, according to
Captain j. o. Foss was hailed by the
Descartes just after she had passed
out Of the three-mile limit, blank
shot being fired by the cruiser to
call attention to the signal to stop.
A lifeboat with six men and lieu.
tenant from the cruiser came along
side and the ship was detained for
about two hours. Several passengers,
among them Charles T. Pfaltz, an i'm
porter, were questioned by the officer,
but only the steward, Schaade, was
taken.
Mr.. Pfaltz says he believes, judg-
ing by the actions of the French Off
Ger that he was the man sought, not
withstanding that he is an American
citizen, having been naturalized fol-
about twenty years.

ENGLISH DIVISIONS

Irish Troops Sacrificed

By AssoCIArEp PREss.

London, Dec. 13.-The British and
French troops have successfully car
r1ed out their retirement from Serbia.
BY arrangement with the Greek gov
eminent clear road has been left to
fall back on Saloniki. The German
official report claims that approx
mately two English divisions were

This is considered here to be an exag-
geration. Athens and Salonilzi ac-
counts say the retreat was carried out
in an orderly manner and without
heavy losses.
BY the destruction of railway
bridges and roads and stubborn rear
guard actions the Bulgarians were
kept at fairly safe distance. In one
rear guard action two companies of
the Inslrilli regiment sacrificed them
selves to save their comrades.
The question now arises whether
The Bulgarians and Teutons intend to

Greece and what action the Greek

President Wilson makes no inquiry
as to the ownership of the subma-

RACES are engineered from Berlin, bu,
perhaps Mr.. Wilson is too discreet
to venture an enquiry. Now
that the American government is

Germany with inhumane, barbarous
conduct, is it too much to hope they

More than q dozen members, IN
