Where the Generals ston.

Percival Phillips sends the following to the London Daily Express from the British general headquarters:
 Many people think that a general side during a battle, and miles be- hind it, sticking little flags into maps and receiving despatches from blood-stained orderlies. To some falls this duty, but the brigadiers are in the thick of every fight, for they must be close behind the bat talions they direct, and everything de- bends on them.
 Generals who run this war do live in houses, for the battlefield of west ern Europe is a network of towns and villages. but the brigadier often gets a house without a roof, and sometimes with no walls to speak of. for the enemy have delt thoroughly with it. Occasionally he finds a build ing fairly intact and establishes him. self in it, but he is usually shelled- as often as not by accident-and then he has to dig himself in, like his men.
 My journey to the front on this particular day had taken me through all the phases of "headquarter life" from the quiet surroundings of the central organizations of the British army in the field to this devastated estate, which was so close to the GeZman trenches, that one could have shouted to the enemy.
 As you get nearer and nearer the front you find headquarter life a little rougher and a little more hazardous. First. there is the army commander and his staff. billeted in a moated mansion beyond sound of the guns. Drive a few miles towards the enemy and you will find the corps general comfortably but not gaudily ensconced in village-maybe in one of the cramped public buildings or with a school or laundry as his map room Tragic Contrasts.
 Continue your journey, and you discover the general of division liv- ing in the zone of possible lombard ment. His chateau is habitable but
 bitter here and there by shells. The park contains dugouts, which are used
 occasionally. Divisional headquartel routine is frequently disturbed by the l morning and evening hail of the en- | emy's long distance guns.
 Then you motor on, following roads that are regularly shelled, passing ont destroyed village after another ana | finally finding the brigade head. quarters, in an area where life is very precarious at times. and death comes suddenly out of a clear sky. I thought of these contrasts as
 walked through the fields while tho | brigadier talked about the kaleido. scopic changes wrought by war. "A curious business altogether" ht l was saying. F"One night I was or | leave, dining with my family in Lon
 don and exactly twenty-four hours | later l was back fighting like hel l near"
 We passed a broken gate at tho end of the tree-lined track. Foul | officers were blown to pieces there by | stray howftZer shell two days ego ai they passed on their way to dinner
 You can see their graves there. An other officer was writing note in ( l ground-foor room when a shell crashed | through one corner, killing him anC

London.-Replying to a question nv
Earl Loreburn in the house of lords
Teusday afternoon, as to the progress
Of the campaign in the Balkans. the
Marquis OF Lansdowne, the unicnist
leader, who holds seat in the cabt-
oct, without portfolio, said:
Il must say with great regret | am
afraid we must admit that the prog

highly improbable that the Serbian
army will be able to withstand for any
great length OF time the attacks to
which it is exposed from the Austro-
German forces on the north, aided by
The stab in the back which Serbia IA
receiving at the hands of Bulgaria"
While there was no criticism of the
conduct of the near eastern campaign
there was general demand when the
house of lords met for information
and the suggestion of a smaller cabi.

CONDITIONS
GROWING BETTER
MOST HOPEFUL REPORT YET RE-
cElvED COMES FROM AGENTS
IN MEXICO.
More Peaceful Feeling Said to Prevail
and the Friendly Feeling Toward
Americans More Manifest
Than for Long Time.

shington-Conditions throughout
Mexico are showing marked improve
ment, according to an announcement
Monday by Secretary Lansing.
The secretary was able TO give az
optimistic report OF the situation to
George Rakhmeteff, the Russian am
bassador, who made inquiries prepar-
atory it is believed to advising his
government concerning recognition.
The British and French ambassa
doris recently made similar inquiries.
and it is now believed recognition OF
the Carranza government by many OF
the European powers will follow in
the near future.
The state department issued what
was generally regarded as the most
hopeful summary of condition yet
received from consuls and special
agents throughout Mexico. 1t said:
"Advices, dated October %, from
Monterey, state that through Pullman
service has been established from
Laredo to Mexico City for the first
time in a year and half. 1t is stated
that there is also improved train SER
vice to Tampico and Matamoras, and
that telegraph lines are operating be-
tween most cities and towns. A more
peaceful feeling is said to prevail and
the friendly feeling toward Americans
Is more manifest than for a long
time"
The consul general at Monterey
Informs the department that he is re-
ceiving no complaints and that both
natives and foreigners are comment
ing on the improved treatment of the
people in general. Good rains and
favorable weather are reported tC
make the outlook for pasturage and
garden stuff brighter in the Monterey
district. The purchasing power OF
money of the de facto government is
reported to be increasing"

rate from this disease has been re

in 1880 to 1866 in 1913. Perhaps if
the figures were available for 1914, the
death rate would show a still further

BULGAR|ANS TAKE
UsKUP FROM SERBS
THIS BRINGS MUCH NEARER THE
OPENING OF WAY THROUGH
BULGARIA TO TURKEY.
Success is Not Being Achieved With
out Heavy Losses, the French troops
Fighting Beside the Serbs IN
Southeastern Sections.

London.-The Bulgarians, according
TO their official report, have reached
Uskup, an important junction on the
Saloniki Nish railway, and have thus
placed themselves across the route by
which the allies reinforcements for
the Serbs would travel.
The Austro-Germans, in the north,
have begun a more vigorous offensive
and have crossed the Danube near Or
sova This brings much nearer the
linking up of the armies of the Ger
manic allies and those OF Bulgaria,
and the opening of the way through
Bulgaria to Constantinople.
Success is not being achieved with
out heavy losses as the Serbian vet

French troops are fighting beside
the Serbs in the southeastern sections
and reports from Athens say that other
steps are being taken by the allies tt
help their small partner Additional
troops are being landed at Saloniki;
Bulgarian ports in the Aegean and
Black seas are being bombarded, anc
it is believed that men and munitions
will be sent to Serbia by still another
route.
Without the active cooperation OF
Greece and Roumania, however. the al
lies, it is feared here, will not be able
to do much for some weeks.
The Russian troops, who have land.
ed at Domeness, Courland, have, &C
cording to Berlin, re-embarked. If thi
is true, it is probable that the landing
was intended as a diversion in the
hope of drawing German troops from.

There is no news of Field Marsha

SUSPECT RAIDS At

GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ARE
CONCERNED OVER DEPARTURE
OF sEAGoINS MOTOR BOATS.
Belief Held That Wealthy Mexicans
are Financing Filibustering Expedi-
tfor and That sni Il Boats are to
Garry Arms for Raiding.

Washin gton.-A tangled skein Of cir
cumstances is perplexing officials here,
pointing either to an Institution of a
new commerce raiding campaign by
Germans in the Caribbean sea, or the
beginning of series of filibustering ex-
petitions against Mexico. The justice,
navy and state departments have
worked on the mystery several weeks,
without result.
The departure of several seagoing
motor boats, the escape Of German
warrant officers interned at Norfolk
and the mysterious movements of sew
eral American yachts in the Gulf of
Mexico have baffled not only Officials
of the Washington government, who
are anxious to prevent violations OF
neutrality through use of American
rterritory as base of naval operations,
but also agents of the British govern
ment who fear a commerce raiding
campaign is about to be begun again st

Mexican ports for use of the British
navy.
Officials have two theories as to the
meaning. of this series of happenings.
One is that wealthy Mexicans in the
United States are financing filibuster.

NEURASIHENIA OF WAR.

Previous to the outbreak Of the
present conflict Of nations in Europe
1t was commonly believed that war
had been robbed by science of many
of it's earlier terrors. What with anti
septic surgery, improved hospital
facilities and sanitary appliances, it
was confidently supposed that the
salvage of life would Offset much of
its waste on the battlefield. That con
fidence, it seems, took no account OF
the various forms of nervous shock
and nervous disorders occasioned by
the new methods of warfare, including
trench-fighting and the use of high ex-
plosive shells, gas bombs, etc The
pathological study of these subtler
consequences by Professor Osler is
painfully disillusioning as to the Thu
manity" of modern warfare. While
surgical science has reduced the risk
of death to combatants suffering from
physical wounds, military science has
introduced the new risk of nervous col
lapse due to the deafening detonations
of shells, From the strain and stress
of trench-fighting results temporary
paralysis, the victim often suffering "a
psychic knockout" which leaves him
'speechless and in a stupor. His gait
is affected and horrible nightmares
afflict him, says New York World. Vic
Tins of gas poisoning die lingering
death from suffocation. Nervous
shock does not necessarily kill But
bearing in mind it's frequent effect of
impairing the nervous system perma-
nently, it is obvious that the new war
fare is bringing new evils in its train
