andise has been forbidden"
London, Sept. 25.-As "meas-
ure of elementary prudence" Greece
has ordered mobilization of her ma
val and military forces.
Thus the action of Bulgaria in
making military preparations has
brought the last remaining Balkan
state under arms, for Rumania
while not fully modified, for some
time has had her troops ready for an
emergency. What plans Bulgaria
really has in mind and what Greece
and Rumania will do are still mat
tiers for speculation. One thing
seems clear, however, Bulgaria and
Turkey, for so many years sworn en-
emies, have composed their differ
ences.
The successes which the Russian
general, Ivanoff, has been having in
Galicia and Volhynia, it is consider
ed here, may still have an influence
in the Balkans. General Ivanoff has
been so successful that Won Macken-
sen, who is fighting north of Pripet
marshes eastward of Brest-Litovsk,
has been compelled to withdraw his
line somewhat, as it was in danger
of being encircled, while the Aus
trians have been driven back across
the Styr and, according to one ac-
count, have evacuated the fortress of
Lutsk, in the Volhynian triangle OF
fortresses, which they captured dur
ing the great drive.
These successes would probably
serve to ease the situation on the
flank should Rumania join
Russia and, in addition, might well
prevent the Austro-Germans from
sending an army which, it is esti-
mated, must consist of at least a
half million men, to make an attack
on Serbia.
In the center the Russians are
still falling back, while in the north
Won Hindenburg continues to make
progress with his offensive against
Dvinsk, although at a much slower
rate than formerly. East of Wilma
the Germans admit a temporary
check, during which they lost guns
to the Russians.
There has been a continuation of
The fierce artillery struggle in the
west. According to the Berlin ofic-
al report, a British attack south Of
he La Bassee canal broke down I'M
Ter German fire.
After a fortnight of comparative
inactivity, during which they sank
,nly five British merchant ships,
again are on the move
,ff the Irish coast. Since Tuesday
hey have sent five British steamers
o the bottom.

A few weeks ago the last passenger
pigeon died in Chicago at the age Of

A passenger pigeon is quite a differ
emit looking bird from any other kind OF
pigeon. 1t has a long tail and Is In all
nearly three-quarters OF a yard long.
II Is so called because Of its migratory
habits, II being bird OF passage.
For the past fifteen years there had
been a standing reward OF $1,000 for q

This was several times its weight In
