He is a sort of a sultan, and they seem to be the ladies of the harem, who do his bidding.

 yards from the nest The egg remains in the sun until the ostrich chicks come. by which time it is rotten. When the little chicks appear, the father goes to the egg and breaks it.

in Serbia today. developments along
the west front commanded attention.
The hill OF Tahure. in the Cham
pagne, is In the hands of the Ger
mans. They are now directing their
blows at the town Of Tahare itself.
While the hill was taken only after
days of merciless pounding, the
French claim that the German losses
we're heavy and that elsewhere they
we're repulsed.
The capture OF the hill is important
from the fact that It has a command
ing position with relation to the
strategically important Challerange-
Bazancourt railway.
Meantime the Teutons and Bull
garians are squeezing Serbia in a re-
lentless wise.

Bulgaria's hands. the situation now
presents two important moves. There
is a drive from the southeast toward

Capture of the latter would mean
shutting the Serbians Off from their
ammunition supply and would mean
the earlier shattering of their desper-
ate resistance.
Control OF Nish would give addi-
tional railway facilities to the central
allies for their planned move to as
sist the Turks.
