London, Dec. 31-Russia maintains
mysterious silence regarding opera

battles gaining in extent and violence.
It seems that extremely important
events are occurring at the only point
where the Russian armies can bring
pressure to bear on the Balkan situa-
ton without actually crossing Rou-
mania. Many reports reach here
that Austro-G German and Bulgarian
forces not only are abandoning prepa-
rations for advance in Macedonia, but
are withdrawing troops from that
front, this action being attributed to
the Russian offensive in Bessarabia,
but most of these dispatches bear the
impress Of the wish being the father
Of the thought.

IMMENSE RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE
From the Pripet river to Bukowina
the Russians and Austrians are en-
gagged in battles which are expected
by Russian military observers to
change the military situation in the
Russian theater, in few days. A
report from Rome declares that the
strength Of the Russian offensive has
caused the wholesale withdrawal OF
the Austro-German troops from the
Macedonian frontier, in order to meet
the Russian attacks at this point. One
version says Russia's new move is a
forerunner Of Roumania's entry into
the war on the side of the entente
powers, with Russia guaranteeing the
capture of Bukowina.

THE MEXICAN RIDDLE.

The news from Mexico, by compari. son with that from Europe closely ap- breaches the dead level of monotony Without searching through the back pages of the newspapers of the Mex ico City date hne. we know pretty well what has happened in Mexico the day before. Somebody has been shot, or elected president Somebody has moved into the capital or moved out. This or that general has engineered one of the standardized diversions. I2 fine. Mexican history repeats itself from day to day, occasionally chang ing the names of leaders or towns in it's chronicle for yarletys sake. The eXudations of optimism from Wash. ington have ceased long since though the Washington government, appar- ently as matter Of form or possibly trough force of habit, maintains ta special representatives at various Mexican points.

BIG GIRDER FALLS;
 THREE MEN HURT
WORkMEN HAVE NARROW ES- CAPE WHEN GREAT IRON BEAM
 CRASHES TO GROUND.
Sound Of Failing Grder is Heard For Blocks and Big Crowd Gathered From Surrounding Houses.

l'0ur men this morning. although injured are thanking the fates they are alive. for late yesterday afternoon while placing a 4O-foot iron girder. W1ich weighs several tons. in place on the Central Methodist church. the girder slipped out of a socket into which it was being steered and crashed 10 the ground, going through the wooden floor of the church as if the floor had been made of paper and imbedding itself in the earth of the cellar for several feet
 The girder was held in place by stout iron chains attached to cranes and pulleys, one facing the Parker avenue side and the other at the end of the girder, midway in the building. It was at the latter point where the girder slipped out of place, according to worllmen. On the Parker avenue side d negro named Nal Johnson, who desides on Gaines avenue, and Jesse Muse, of South Hot Springs were holding to chains attached to the airder, standing on the walls of the church. Jesse Bulic also of South Hot Springs. and B. E. Simons of GIG Prospect avenue, were at the other end of the girder When the great piece of iron slipped and the end near
 which Buic and Simons were stand | ing shot down into the cellar. Bulic
 was knocked from off the landing
 near the girder and dropped to the floor, sustaining injuries to his left | side and slight cut on the back Of his neck Simons. however, was locking at the grder when 1t slipped out of the socket and jumped to an adjacent landing lie was just in the nick of time, too, for, being below the girder, the place on which he was standing was wrecked Simons es. capped without injury
 When the girder shot towards the bottom it threw the Parker avenue end into the air and Johnson the negro, and Muse, the white man. were pulled from the walls of the church and hurled to the floor The former was the most seriously hurt of the two He sustained deep cut over his left eye and injured one of his shoulders. Muse was badly shaken up by the fall and was taken to his home One of his hands was also cur in the fall
 A few seconds before the girder came crashing into the cellar a negro had been at work right at the very spot where the girder struck He heard the crash overhead and jumped to one side, escaping without injury The noise made by the falling girdei was heard as far as Grand avenue Houses in the neighborhood were emptied of residents and visitors il less time than it takes 10 tell it d crowd had gathered

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTIONS.

This promises to be a year Of con stitutional conventions, for the people everywhere are demanding better gov ernment and better laws, New York, as we have noted, has already called such convention, has elected the del egates and is now discussing the changes most needed in its organic law A call for a convention has been introduced in the Pennsylvania legis- lature and seems likely to pass Two years ago the proposition was voted down but that was because of the con fused state of political affairs, the vote being divided between democrats. re pubhcans and progressiyes. There is ao political reason now why the con- vention should not be held and theI new costitution adopted
 The present constitution of Penlsyl. yania was framed in 1873 and is con sequently forty-two years old-and we have made great advance in constitu ton framing during that time Wei know a great deal more about finances and economies. and then the country is far more democratic and the people demand rights and privileges and the control of their affairs that they did not dream of forty years ago.
 One of the changes most needed In Pennsylvania is better control of local government and more home rule for the cities. Then, too, the fiscal and tax policies of the state, like those oi many others, call for radical treat. ment h fine, there is much to be done in Pennsylvania and the opin- ion prevails that there Is no better time ia which to rewrite its organic law than the present when the pub lie is giving so much attention to questions of government economies and kindred subjects
 4 bill IS now before the Arkansas legislature for a constitutional con. vention Under tbe present law of amending the constitution 1t costs the people of Arkansas about $50.000 every two years, and 1t is burden that a great deal of complaint is made about. Arkansas has outerown her present constitution which was adopt ed il 1874, at a time when the state was in an unsettled condition, and what served purpose at that time has optlived its usefulness and con sntution should be adopted that would serve conditions as they are at pres ent
