and Italy could land her expedi-
ton on Bulgaris's shores. This
would precipitate the great cam
paign for Constantiuople which
has been so much talked of by
the experts lately.
The Turks continue to present
a stone wall to the Allies who
have gained only minor successes
of late. and at a heavy cost. The
Germanic powers evidently are
taking their time about sending
armies through to Constantinople
and this indicates that the Turks
can hold out for several months,
at least.
The activity of the Austrians
along the Serbian borders is a
sign that the dash to CONSTANT
nople will be made by way OF
Serbia. Once in possession OF
the Danube to the Bulgarian line,
the Teutons will find their way
through Bulgaria made easy by
the Bulgarians themselves, in all
probability. Several Austrian
attempts to cross the Danube and
the Save rivers have been frus-
trated by the Serbisns.
On the French and Italian
fronts the fighting has been con-
fined to artillery duels of a heavy
character. Air raids by the Ger
mans into France, the French into
Germany, the Italians into Aus
tria and the Austrians into Italy
have been frequent. Another
Zeppelin raid on England was
also recorded. It was said to
have caused no loss of life and
little property loss.
An Austrian submarine is sale
to have sunk a British transport
in the Adriatic sea, while a French
submarine is reported to have
sunk an Austrian submarine anC
an Italian submarine to have sunl
two Austrian torpedo boats.
The English and French con
tinue to penetrate further int
Germany's remaining African
colonies. The Germans now
hold a small part Of the Kamer'
uns and most of German Eas
Africa. All their other colonies
in Africa and elsewhere have beer
occupied by the Allies.

From Wilma the Germans r

Dvinsk, the capture OF which
would put them in the rear OF
Riga, though at a considerable
distance. The Russians no doubt
will make a determined effort to
hold Dvinsk, which is on a broad
river with a strong current. The
Germans, however, are already
in a strong position as n result OF
their capture of sections Of the
railroad to Petrograd. Further
south they have taken Pinsk. but
this does not bring them to the
main line railroad, Pinsk being
on a branch. Still further to the
south and beyond the Pripet
marshes the Germans and Aus
TRANS are trying to reach the
southern terminus of the main
line at the fortified town OF
Rovno.
Won Hindenburg's drive. if re-
ports be accurate, is peculiar. He
appears to be relying as usual on
massed artillery to break the en-

to speak, is not being done by in

The Russians have tried to meet
the menace with equal numbers
of cavalry, but their troops are
handicapped by lack of artillery
and ammunition.

Day of the Quill Pen

From the London Chronicle.
 We have complained of our fountain pens, but the constant mending required by quill pens must have proved a se- we're trial in the days when no others We're available. Alexander l of Russia thought it necessary to employ a man whose sole duty consisted in cutting pens He was required to have supply of not less than 100 quills always ready.
 This number was by no means ex- cessive, for Alexander would never use the same pen twice. Even the writing Of a signature spoiled a pen, in his opinion, for subsequent use The quill cutter. who received salary of G340 a year. accompanied the Car in all his journeys, including campaigns against Napoleon.
 Writing implements changed consider ably for the better during Sir Walter Gflbey's long spell of life Though quill pens are still in use." he remarks in his "Recollections of Seventy Years" T re- member the time when one seldom saw any other kind. Steel pens in their early days were expensive and i'll made. and few people used them. The paper we had 70 years ago may have been partly to blame; IL had neither the substance nor surface We take as a matter of course now adays.
 I remember when envelopes came into use, and what boon they were consid- cred after the old system of closing let ters with waters or wax. Before envel- opee were invented letters were always written with an eye to the position of the waiter or seal, blank space being left to correspond with the space where this would be put on the outside. lest the written portion should be torn in open ing

POPULAR STARS AT
 LYRIC THIS WEEK
Bessie Wynn and Florence Tempest Among the Features-LOts of
 Music and Comedy

With two very popular feminine stars and lots of music and comedy. the Lyric this week seems well fortified to enter
 tain the patrons. Women in particular are expected to frequent the matinecs each afternoon of the week, for 1t is rumored that Bessie Wynn will display marvels.
 Miss Wynn is noted as a operatic star who has grace. plus histrionic ability and pantomine skill. She is said to have a personality that reaches her audience and makes every patron of the theatre feel that she is singing and working direct to him. Her voice is one or rare sweetness She is known as "The Lady Dainty" and is said to be one of charm in vaudeville.
 Florence Tempest, known as Our American Boy and until recently the Tempest of Tempest and Sunshine. will play return engagement, and the audiences that enjoyed her act last year so much Will see and hear her in some- thing new. She appears in male even ing attire sings her own songs in her own particular manner and offers a dance with Ralph o'Brien and is as- sisted by Harry Wilson at the piano. Her songs are said to be all new. The little star is a great favorite here.
 Flanagan and Edwards show the life of q vaudeville team rewritten in com edy act called of and On" It Is the sequel to their famous act, "On and Off" which was their vehicle for several years. They show a rehearsal and afterwards a regular performance. and these give an opportunity to introduce songs and dances
 The five Yoscarys are known as one of the best acrobatic acts that has been seen here. The troupe is composed of men and women, and the latter dress in conventional long dresses which adds to the danger and difficulties of the feats they perform. They are tumblers and balancers and perform number of spectacular stunts.
 Another favorite that is returning is Britt Wood, with his curious comedy and his mouth organ. He is known as the juvenile jester and Is still one of the youngest comedians in vaudeville. He has different offering from that of any comedian who comes this week, and is a big hit always
 Hearn and Hey in 'Wanted, an Angel" will offer one of the cleverest skits written by Aaron Hoffman. The team is said to be unusually clever, and the. act full of comedy. The skating bear, the strange animal that was sucn drawing card for the children last season. is the seventh act of the bill, and he promises to bring the children to the house just as he did when here before.

GERMAN ARTILLERY
 FIRE PLACED WELL
Sometime Thousands Are Wasted-English Get
 on Well

London. January 2S.-1Speeial1-An of fcer at the front writes:
 If you want to know what war is you want to come here. roost in a ruined house. in ruined and deserted village, your own guns behind you, in the back yard almost, making a most informal din at intervals shaking down all the loose brick sand tiles. the enemy's shells of shrapnel and rifle bullets singing around and an occasional Jack Johnson" shel coming in, that makes a hole in soil ground you can drop a small cottage in
 On my return trip this afternoon, l saw dozen little Willie. holes in the roae that were not there when l passed at noon. Do not waste any time settlnt in with the wagon party or getting ou' when we start again. I was talking with one infantry captain yesterday Who tole mo he was in room in village neal here the other day with four fellows and a shell ease in and burst in the room and laid them all out but him-he hadn't a scratch-and he couldn't recognize which was which of the fellows when he turned them over to see if they were alive. Only one was alive. and he had no sooner hauled him out when another shell burst in the room.
 They place their artillery ire well. on the other hand. we calculate they put S25o.0o worth of ammunition into our vtl- lage the other afternoon, and never killed a living thing or touched one. either. You see peasants pulling up their beet roots and earting them away with an ar tillery duel going on close by. In fact. they stick too close to the firing area and ought to be cleared out. We nobbled 60 carrier pigeons in one loft and few pies were prominently made. They all went into the pots anyhow.
 I met one boy of 13 yesterday crying, asked him his trouble and he said he was one of the refugees from the neighboring firing area. His father died six weeks ago. his two older brothers had been killed in the line. and his mother was left with him and five younger children, and they were without anything. That's what war means to many here who are com pelled to dig trenches and given francs a day. That is not bad. of course.
 It's wonderful to see how our fellows get on with the folk signs chiefly, but they make them understand, and vice versa. The people are very good to the men here. There's typical old peasant near by, about 76, clean shaven, eyes as bright as ever, who "shooes'' our fellows about and yet gives them the run of his garden. 'They call him the Major"
 We've had our headquarters here for now two weeks, so they are getting to know us It's amusing to see a sergeant who a few weeks ago didn't know a word of French seize French local paper and pick out some information from it some how. He really does get some sense out of the headlines anyhow. I've been as- tonished.

VIVID ACCOUNT OF FIGHTING IN AFRICA Adventures of Officer Rid ing Motorcycle Along
 Path in the Dark

Lendon, January 25.-(Special IA mem- Der of the British forces which have been engaged in East Africa gives the follow ing sprightly account of his experiences in a letter home:
 On the Gazi Road. 30 Miles from Ger man Border.-We are still all safe here. Some days ago authentic information came through from Mombassa that 25o German troops had invaded British East Africa some 60 miles from Mombassa, and at point tVanga) where there was only Captain Rodwell and seven natives Vol unteers were called for to ride to Vanga and subsequently, to patrol the road.
 Now the road is one of the vilest paths possible to imagine. In one place, some seven miles in length, the sand Is from eight to nine inches thick: in others the road has been dug out at the side and thrown up in the middle to a varying height of s feet to 10 feet, and only 1S inches wide. In other sections it winds through eight or nine feet high elephant grass, a narrow, winding little footpath, which one finds only through the damage done to the grass blades and stalks through negroes passing through, then over swamps galore, wadlng through small, slimy streams, reel1ing with ma laria. through long stretches of mud which cleds ones boots and bicycle, and finally over huge extants Give or six miles) of mangrove swamps and wonder ful African jungle, great ferns, cactus, ereepers, and impenetrable scrub.
 They bought the bike, gave it to me, and l went through in the dead of the night.
 There were no maps procurabe and the path had more or less to be guessed at 70 miles out in the bush. Whilst travelling fairly fast the motor bike fell into a hole, which it was impossible in the darkness to see. The new moon only lasted about two hours, and had sunk below the hor- zon long before. The bike blew one way and the other I landed on some bullets which were in my breast pocket and knocked myself senseless for half an hour. Two miles from Gazi I again per formed the same acrobatic feat. This time l lay in the road for three hours.
 The dew was appalling. and water had worked into the magneto and carburetor, making the motor-bilSe useless for some- time to come At daybreak l left the ma chine in a hut and marched for six and a half hours. I arrived at Thammani more dead than alive. On the way I met a gang of 30 big monkeys. We passed each other with mutual respect. Then l came oh four armed negroes with spears and hatehets. They were on our side. sc I didn't fire. At Thimoni I took a dhow and anchored at Gazi two and a half hours afterward. This is the place which is supposed to have fallen, and believe me, the landing from that dhow in such vicinity was sight to see.

At first the truth was not realized, it being thought that the disease had attacked everyone indiscriminately.

 The end came quietly, however There being no more law. anarchy subsded Also courts, reprisals, politics and monop- oy.
 So that the millennium. as it should have been, was received with more than the usual dignity to be expected upon such a great occasion
