Ancient Artisans in Africa.


 The question has often been asked: Was there any earlier race in occupa- tion of the area in Africa at present held by the Bantus? In Man W. Fl. Beech reports that in the Kikuyu coun- try some ancient pottery has been said to be the work of people called Gum ba, who displaced the Miathoachiana. cannibal dwarfs.
 These Miathoachiana are now: be- lieved to be earth-gnomes, skilled in the art of iron working. MT. Beech. with some amount of plausibiIity, sug- gests that they were possibly bush- men, pygmies, or both, and that they were a local indigenous race of the stone age who used flint instruments often found in the Kikuyu country. The Gumba are said to have made pottery and to have taught the Kikuyu the art of smelting. They may have been pre- Bantau Hamite invaders; but of this there Is no evidence and the legend may tend to show that the first discovery of iron was made in Africa

BAYS DARDANELLES
 CANNOT BE FORGED
WEBER PASHA DECLARES FAIL URE OF ALLIES IS OBVIOUS
 TURKS IN GOOD CONDITION.
OCCUPANCY IS DIFFICULT
Little Activity Shown by Each Side During Daytime-Turks Prefer
 Night 5ayonet Attacks.

Krithia.-Allied troops, who landed at Seddul Bahr on the Gallipoli Penin- sula, hold about 10 square miles of the extreme southern part of the pe- ninsula. The occupancy is coupled with the greatest difficulties.
 The ground held by tho allies con sists principally of small plateau north of Seddul Bahr and two ad- joining ridges to the northwest. be- tween which the Turks are pushing advance trenches.
 The Associated Press correspond ents, who spent two days in the trenches, found the Turkish troops in excellent condition and spirits, in spite of the fact that the allies are using every conceivable means to carry on the operations. including bombs thrown from catapults and from aeroplanes
 The number of wounded at the hos pital bases at the front was small, al- though the fighting during the night had been fairly severe.
 During the day time both sides are usually inactive, the Turks preferring night bayonet attacks. Many Turk ish batteries are in position, but the nearness of the opposing trenches makes their work very difficult and for the most part they are directing their attention to the reserves of ths allies and to changing shifts which are exposed at certain points. The Turks in this have the support of their heavy batteries on the Asiatic side, which since the rentirement of the allied fleet work without fear Of being molested, bombarding chiefly the allied right wing, composed of French, home and colonial troops.
 Weber Pasha, the German general commanding the south group. gave the correspondent every opportunity to visit the Saddul Bahr district, placing no restrictions whatever upon the cor respondents movements
 The result was thorough inspec- tion of the ground. Weber Pasha made no comment on the situation IlluSelI pea onu saying ilal tile ldu' ure of the allies to consummate their plan of forcing the Dardanelles is too obvious for discussion.
 Weber Pasha, who is a member of the German military mission which undertook the improvement of the Ot- toman army organization is fully con- fident that the Turks will be able to meet the Gallipoli situation and that the allies will never advance against the Dardanelles forts

MOST ABLE MEN NOT LARGE
Worlds Geniuses as Rule Have Been Only Medium or Even Less
 in Size.

We are inclined to look up to the physically big man, not only literally but there is always a certain presump- tion in his favor that he must be cor respondingly strong mentally, says a writer in Popular Mechanics. People make room for him; they attach more importance usually to what he says than to the same words uttered by an undersized man. We unconsciously picture in cur minds the bayonet charge and storming of the trenches as the work of large men. The boy dreams of having football physique and little sister worships her big brother
 Other abilities being equal, the large man has positive advantage over the small man. And yet many, if not the majority of the great men of the world have been only of medium build and not few were even undersized.
 A certain large city in this country had for years made it rule not to employ in it's fire department any but large men. The result was a small army of athletes which never failed to cause a positive thrill when ever they went on parade. They dis tinctly represented the day of physi- cal might.
 For some years past the inventive mind has been busy, and very sue cessfully, to produce apparatus which never tires, and calculated to trans fer to a great extent the hard work from muscle to machine. The evi- dences of this evolution may be seen in even small towns everywhere, and now the fire engine drawn by volun- teers and worked with hand brakes must be looked for in museums of strange mechanics of the past In it's place is the self-propelled gas-engined machine, carrying its own hose and capable of highly effective work with only two men; and ladder trucks by means of which one small man ma nipulating some short levers can in a few seconds raise great ladders to dizzy heights, or pour deluge of water into tenth-story windows while standing in the street below. Hence it has come about that the man small of stature, but nimble of body and alert of mind is not only the peer, but often the superior of the giant in build. There yet remains some work for the big athletes, but it is growing less each year, and the man whom nature has not endowed with great own.

HEAVY FIGHTING
 RENEWED IN WEST
BRITISH WIN AND LOSE A MILE OF FRONT BEFORE GERMAN
 COUNTER ATTACKS.

London. For the first time in over comparatively extensive line of the British front in Belgium and Fance. Berlin describes it as an An glo-French movement synchronizing with Russian reverses in Galicia
 To win mile of front, and then to lose it before terrific German coun- ter attacks was the experience of the British near Festubert In a state ment, frank if brief. Field Marshal French records this incident, but does not state the losses, which must have been heavy on both sides.
 The Germans are as frank in COZ ceding the loss of ground near Ypres, but do not mention having been fore ed even temporarily, to yield mi'e of their Festubert stronghold.
 In the east the Austro-German ad- vance continues to swing forward with the exception of the section be- tween the Dnlester marshes and Za- rawna, where the Russians holding tit DiiuSc-ntduS are ulthlHS SOlHt headway.
 Gen. von Mackensen, according to dispatches, has given himself fort night in which to capture Lemberg. and it would seem that, at the rate his and coordinate forces are going forward. this ume limit will be ample if the Russians are unable to initiate stiffer resistance than they are showing now.
 The latest Zeppelin raid on England has created hardly a ripple of excite ment Aircraft protection was one of the subjects discussed in the House of Commons, William Joynson- Hicks urging a marked increase in this branch. He said that London must soon expect serious raid and added that at one time more than i've Zeppelins of the latest type were over the English coast
 The under.secretary for war. H. !. Remnant. besides giving assurances that bigger aeroplanes were under construction, said that since the be ginning of the war the number of ma chimes had been increased tenfold an.l the number of men engaged in this branch fivefold.

FOx-HUNTERS IN THE WAR
Thousands of Men Who Enjoyed That Sport in Britain Are Now at
 the Front.

Waterloo, according to the duke of Wellington, was won on the playing fields of Eton Should Britain emerge triumphant from the present conflict we may find someone rising to claim that the campaign in Flanders was won in the English shires. The shires are the headquarters of fox-hunting. which most humanitarians denounce. George Bernard Shaw, for example, has no words strong enough to con demn it with. MT. Jorrocks, the hero of a sporting novel, describing fox hunting as war without It's guilt and only 25 per cent of its danger It has to be admitted however, that they who fellow the hounds have answered magnificently to their country's call
 There are, it proves, 150 masters of hounds with the British colors, 5000 members of hunts and 1,500 hunt serv- ants. To them must be added the of ficers of the regular army who are ac- customed to ride to hounds, likewise numbering some thousands. The total is an impressive one. It suggests that the real attraction of this sport may be that it is, as Jorrocks said, "a sort of war"

Could Spare Her.

Tommy's mother was an invalid, so his Aunt Lavinia looked after him and the house. And she never missed a chance of pointing out a fault or ex- pounding precept
 "Oh, dear" said Tommy one day, after auntie had lectured him for ten minutes, 'I wish 1 had wings!"
 Why, my pet?' asked mother, pleased at this angelic inspiration.
 "Oh, I'd fly up in the air with Aunt Lavinia. and I'd fly and fly till l couldn't get any higher"
 Yes, dear" said mother proudly, as the little chap paused impressively What would you do then?"
 "Td drop Aunt Lavinia!' said Tom my savagely-Stray Stories.

MOSCISKA NOW IN
 HANDS OF TEUTONS
HAVE BEEN REFUSED, THE % GERMANS SAY.

London. - The Austro-Germ rush .in Galicia is on again. Both Berlin and Vienna claim progress along virtually the entire southeast ern front, and Lemberg again appears to- be in danger.
 .Mosciska,. east of Przemysl, has been captured by the AustroGer- mans, and, according to the German contention, the Russians are falling back south of the railroad connecting Przemysl and Lemberg. All Russian counter attacks have been repulscd with gains for the Teuton3 from 8 point. north of Przemysl into Bes- sarabia, the Germans say.
 Far off as this front is from Eng land and France, it is being watched more. closely. than the western front, because it would appear that these operations are being pressed in m attempt to clear Galicia of the Rus sians, preparatory to breathing spell in the east. which is likely to be fol- lowed by a crushing blow aimed at Italy:
 The fighting is growing harder daily along the Austro-Italian frontier, and, in view of past performances, it is considered reasonable to assume that Germany will throw a great mass of troops on this front and en- deavor to sweep into Italy and hold ground there, just as she has done in Poland, Belgium and France.
 Of the fighting in France, around Arras, the German and French off, cial Communications fiatly contradict each other. On the whole, it Is be- lieved here, the advantage has been with the French.
 That England is prepared for long siege operations in the Dardanelles is indicated in an official statement just issued explaining the nature of the tedious trench warfare, although as- serting that the Turkish offensive is not so. sharp as it was formerly.
 Almost complete returns for the general elections assure a war cham Der. for Greece, although with the king still in a precarious condition and the chamber not due to meet for more than a month, no immediate events affecting Greece's neutrality are. expected.
