ADVANCE YET UNCHECKED
 IN THE BALKANS
No Further News From Kitchener-The American Note Not to Be Con-
 sidered for Fortnight

London, November S-The press and public were. largely occupied today with the American note which has been the subject of more discussion than any diplomatic question for. many months. The foreign office has already given it careful consideration, but il has not yet been before the cabinet and probably it will be fortnight or more before a reply can be prepared
 For the moment, the note has over shadowed the near eastern situation and Earl Kitchener's proposed visit to that theatre of operations Beyond the fact that Lord Kitchener has departed for his destination there is little news from the allied side respecting the Balkan affairs.
 The Austro-G have succeeded in crossing the Moravia river, in Servia and General Won Gallwitz has occupied Kruzvac one of Servia's largest towns, about 30 miles due northwest of Nish The fall of Kruzvac means that the branch railway line to Ushitze, neat the Bosnian frontier, has been broken by the invaders close to the point where it leaves the main Belgrade Nish-Saloniki line. large number of prisoners, 10 guns and lot of war material fell into German hands.
 The Bulgarians also are advancing from the east, but in the west the Mon tenegrins claim to have inflicted an : other defeat on the Austrians The Austrians are said to be concentrating a force of 120,000 men in Herzegovina for an invasion of Montenegro.
 The Russians continue their attacks in Courland, Volhynia and Galicia, and while they report some successes they apparently are not making any at- tempt to advance. According to Petro- grad correspondents there is no inten- tion of any such attempt, the present object of their attacks being to harass the Austro Germans and prevent them from preparing positions for the winter.
 The Italians captured the Col Di Lana and after marching through the snow, hoisted the Italian flag on the summit. The Austrian war office ad mits that the Col Di Lana was taken by the Italians but declares that counter attacks by the Austrians resulted in it's recapture. s
 There has been action of importance on the western front.
 Submarines are becoming more active. The British have sunk in the Baltic escorting German ferry steamer, and now all German ships in that sea are under heavy convoy. In the Mediter- ranean, the Germans have sunk several steamers, including the British board ing steamer Tara.

how the Talmud and science harmon
lie.
His elder brother, Hahn David,
photographer at Vienna, taught him
the rudiments Of the Polish and Ger
man Languages. BY that road young
Lippe turned from the study of the
Prophets to that of medicine. At the
age of 20 he entered the gymnasium
at Lemburg, where he graduated as a
physician. The Jewish hospital at
Tarnopol engaged him as assistant
house physician in 1867. Shortly
thereafter he married Miss Flohn, the
daughter Of Carl Flohn, a teacher Of
that city. Three years later DIR.
Lippe was admitted as "~licentiat in
medicin" at Bucharest.
Al the invitation of his brother in
law, DR.. Edward Flohn, he settled in
Jassy, where he became assistant
house physician of the Jewish hos
pital OF that city. which office he held
for three years.
Bucharest at that time had no
academy OF science as Il has to-day
All 1t had was "a school of medicine
which conferred no title. DR.. Lippe
went to Erlangen. Bavaria. where he
received his degree Of doctor and in
September. 1864. registered as such at
Bucharest. He then left the hospital
and took up the private practice Of
medicine.

The Rumannns up TO that time had

Like the tango. il a suffered n
development. and has been improved
in the process. Ordinarily the fox
trot was nothing more than the one
step danced to schottisohe time.
ID YOU remember how the FIRST
fox trotters ran around at a fearful
pace. and when the band stopped sat
down red faced and out of breath?
Well. they do not end the dance in
that way any longer. II is more
rational. more engaging and more
reasonable, not to say far more grace
full.
This development OF the fox trot
from the n step is really interesting
to one who follows these shades OF
expression. BY degrees the dancers,
who at first seemed to be running a
race. found that the introduction Of
a few walking steps not only made the
dance more reasonab to execute and
saved them from fatigue, but hat 1t

graceful dance, but another touch,
called the twinkle gave fnalty to
the whole.
THE beauty Of this last touch is
that 1t gives tho impression OF being

nation and is not at all uninanageable
or difficult. All Of these little addi-
tons and changes make for these

there are three different steps in the

A CABLE message from Rumania
~ recently announced that the
n great Rumanian Jewish
scholar Or. Karpei Hippo died

part OF last August. His death re-
moves n great Jewish savant whose
fame had penetrated 30 all parts Of
the globe, yet such a the stress of
war news that the cables carried only
the brlefest mention of the event.
The Talmud tells the following
legend: "In the same hour when
King Solomon brought into his house
an his wife the daughter Of Pharaoh
Gabriel descended and sunk a pipe
into the ocean from which he brought
up n sand bank. On that sand bank
was built the mighty Roman EN-
pire."

the surface. In the midst Of that
