SUCCESSFUL OFFENSIVE
 NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE
Weather and Ground on Western
 Front Against BeIigertntS.

London, Feb, IS. Correspondence tary correspondent of the London Times in a recent survey of conditions, said that there is little likelihood of any important advance movement by either side of the western front for a long time to come. Under the present conditions of weather and ground, with artillery which knows the range of every landmark exactly, he argues that a successful offensive is next to impossible.
 The district in which the British army is operating is practically a swamp" declares this observer. Water stands on the stiff slippery and holding clay. rendering the move ment of infantry across country inn possible.

 "It is only on slightly rising ground that life is at all supportable The fronts of the rival armies are covered with a labyrinth of trenches. On both sides the front lines are often cnly posts of observation. Acres of barb wire cover most of the posi- tions. In rear stretch many lines, zigzass and communication trenches. "Rreastworks have been constructed by both armies on top of the ground to meet the difficulties of holding flooded trenches, while strong posts. defended villages and farmsteads, and other arrangements, complete the positions. In the rear masses of guns of all calibres, so we'll concealed that they are practically invulnerable, and joined up by telephones to all advanc- eG trenches, make a strong framework for the defense

RATION OF RUM .< -..
 PART OF SUPPLIES
British Soldiers in Actual Fighting Line Receive Alcohol Daily Un-
 der Head of "Neticinc."

London, Feb. 15, Correspondence , of the Associated Press) A daily ration of rum is still part of the reg ularssupplies of British soldiers in the actual fighting line, but it is doled out under the head of medicine" and the quantity allowed is only three tablespoonfuls with rations for two days
 This small ration of alcohol was considered indispensable by the army physicians writes correspondent to the Liverpool Post 'They con- sider it necessary that the soldier ex- posed to the cold for hours in the trenches should have some stimulant available, and experience taught that the drop of rum, taken either straight or in his tea, was the thing
 In some quarters fears have been expressed that the distribution of an alcoholic stimulant to the soldiers might lead some of the men to form permanent habits of drinking. but army leaders replied that the quan- tity handed out was too small to justi- fy any such fear, and moreover, it is given to men only when they are actually in the front lines or in ex- posed positions on outpost duty.
 As a matter of fact, everything is done to ensure the sobriety of the troops. When the armies are either advancing or retreating through town all the saloons are closed, and the same measure is taken wherever the troops are in occupation of a town.
 Old campaigners declare that their daily spoonful of rum is a safeguard against certain diseases, such as cholera.
 As a matter of fact, notwithstand- ing the armys purchases of rum the total importations of this beverage have fallen off more than half since the beginning of the war. Importers explain this by saying that the rum makers in Jamaica and the West h. dies are not making as much as for merely, because greater profit is to be realized just now from the sale of sugar, although the price of rum has advanced about seventy per cent.

ancient confines of Serbian empire as we'll as the marginal line of the from tiers of that Greater Serbia the crea- ton of which Is in some quarters re- garded the cause of the war. Be this as it may, it wifi certainly be one of the most important changes in the map of Europe if Serbia and her powerful Allies are successful against the Germans and the Austrians.
 "You can see," continued MT. Pet ronievitch how difficult has been the position of Serbia, with the Turks on the one hand longing to conquer what they lost; the Austrians on the other hand, urged by the Ger mans, whose own expansion could only take place by pushing the Aus trians into possession of all the Slav kingdoms of the Balkans, thus leav- ing free the German provinces of Austria for Germany. There is no doubt to our mind that Germany has had the idea of absorbing the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary, thus dreaming of kingdom extending from the shores of the North sea to the Aegean at Salonika, the Bosphorus
 
 nople, and reaching out to a supreme control of the Mediterranean and even the Black Sea. No one who has not lived on the shores of the Danube has any real conception of the fanati- clsm with which Austria has worked to achieve this end, nor of the design ing care With which Germany has ever promoted her designs. A part of the plan always has been to keep the states of the Balkans from any fed eration or cohesion among them selves. This might have been more difficult had not several of the states had German princes for rulers. Ser bia and Montenegro, you know, with the exception of Italy, are the only states of Europe that have rulers of their own blood and faith.
 Austro German Diplomacy
 Bulgaria, closely allied to Serbia in feudal times, and whose liberation from Turkey was effected by Russia, has ever been the working ground of that Austra- German diplomacy which has been so active at Constantinople The Bulgarian war of last year, as we'll as Turkeys participation in the present war, was the outcome Of this diplomacy and intrigue. Serbia has been wiser than Bulgaria or Turkey We have not been any too fond of strangers. Too many. of those who have come in the guse of friends have turned out to be Austrian spies 1 There never was a country so beset by spies and mischief-makers of all kinds l as Serbia has been during the past fif- 1 teen years, of since the German en- peror made up his mind that a Euro pean war would be the only means l of acquiring new territory for Ger l many.
 Serbia is trying to demonstrate to l the whole world that her civiliza tion | is on as high a plane that of Eng | land and America, even though her l resources and facilities are not great i CT than those of some of the Amcri- | can states one hundred years ago. It was the history of the American Re- volutionary War, read by Kara George, grandfather of our present l king, which inspired him with de- sire to lead his people in the uprising against the Turks in 1SO4.''
