BOY HAS ONE GRAND VOYAGE
Little Trip to End of Boats Chain
Made Deeper Impression Than
Trip Round the World.

Thor was a boy whose father kept
a small newspaper and tobacco shop
and sent him out with the papers
every morning. One morning the boy
stopped when he came to tho Old
Canal dock, where he had to deliver
q paper at the Office. The dock was
full Of barges of rusty scrap iron,
mOored close to an old-style barker

and go on a great voyage to the near
est barge!" The wish was too strong
to be put on. He ran quickly down
the steps, got into the Ooat, pushed
it out to the length of its rope. three
or four yards, and then let it drift
slowly back. Each time he did this he
drew a deep breath and said: That's
fine; I might be in VaIp'raso harbor, at
the other end of the world
Presently the dockman came along
Hi there said he, you clear out Of

and make on, but the breath Of adven-

him, and one winter night he managed

After that he sailed right out round

French whaler 500 miles S.SE. from
Newfoundland and the men had to

Bettering Conditions.

mission, had to insist that order be
maintained.

Teller said it had been the idea Of the
Rockefeller Foundation to select the
ablest man available to conduct its in
yestigation into Industrial relations.

lected. He will be permitted to fol
low his own methods and plans, with
the hope on the part of the fOunda-
ton that the result will be beneficial
to humanity as a whole, the witness
said
What do you think is the underly

Teller was asked
''If 1 thought l knew" the witness
replied, Il would long ago have given
utterance to my ideas. I did not be-
lieve myself capable of determining

The City of Mexico, Jan. 30.-The

A CENSUS OF UNEMPLOYED
Work in New York to be Extended to
Other Cities if Arrangements
Can Be Made.

Washington, Jan 27.-The census
Of unemployed, begun in New York
under the direction Of the Department
of Labor, will be extended to all cities
if arrangements can be made. Presi-
dent Wilson told callers today that
as far as possible the detail work Of
the census would have to be carried
On by local municipal authorities, be-
cause the government had no special
appropriation and he did not expect
to ask Congress for one.
The President expressed the opin-
ion that the number Of unemployed
was decreasing because new avenues
OF employment were being opened.
Estimates Of the numbers of unem-
ployed in the country were largely
guesswork, he said, and in many in
stances very extrayagant-
Municipal lodging houses in New
York are not full, the President said
he had been informed and the immi-
grafton station at Ellis Island, which
has been opened to unemployed, is
not being used for that purpose ex-
tensively.
The President believes there is
general betterment in business condi-
tions. He said there was no depres-
sion in the West and that the situa-
ton in the South and East was ina
proving.

ADVANCE IN NORTH
Grand Duke Nicholas Making
Definite Effort in Mazurian
Lake Region.
FIGHTING FOR CARPATHlAHS
Result of Battles for Possession of
Mountain Passes Important to
Both Sides-Quiet in the
Western Zone.

London, Jan. 30.-With the armies
in France and Flanders recuperating
after the strenuous fighting of the ear
1ier days Of the week and only local
actions being recorded, interest in the
war situation has been transferred to
the Russian offensive in East Prussia
and the attempt Of strong AustrO-
German army to dislodge the troops
of Emperor Nicholas from their posi-
lions in the Carpathians.
In East Prussia Russian offensive
has developed in the extreme north,
where the renewed fighting seems to
confirm the belief that a definite eff
fort to advance north of the Mazurian
Lakes district, where previously the
Russians were defeated, has been de-
cided upon by the Russian general
staff.
Carpathian Battles Important.
More vital to both sides, however,
is the campaign in the Carpathians,
where, southwest of Dukla Pass, the
Russians have delivered an energetic
attack According to their account
Of the combat they compelled the Aus
tro-Germans to retreat, leaving behind
ammunition and stores. This attack.
according to military observers, indi-
Gates an attempt by the Russians to
turn the flank of the Teuton allies.
If it should prove successful, observ-
ers say, it would have serious conse-
quences for the large Austro-German
army in and about the Carpathian
passes.
Balkan Situation Tangled.
The only thing holding Rumania in
check at present, it is stated, is the
uncertainty as to the action Bulgaria
would be likely to take. Bulgaria, it
is asserted, still is demanding that
part Of Macedonia now under Ser
Wan rule as the price of her neutral
ity, and Servia is reported unwilling
to make this concession.
Greece, it is asserted, also objects
to Bulgaria extending her boundaries
westward, taking the ground that this
would place a wedge between her
and her ally. Servia. Thus, seeming
~, the whole Balkan situation remains
involved, and it is stated it is not
likely to be cleared up until the de
mands of Bulgaria are satisfied.
