mand for details.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff is under

vinced that President Wilson would
risk q breach in German.American re-
lations rather than meet Ge7many's re-

SEPARATE PEACE FOR
RUSSIA IS POSSIBLE
If Allies Abandon Balkans
She May Lose Interest
in the War
BY J. w. T. Mason.

written for the United Press.)
New York, Dec. 6.-The possibility
of serious disagreements among the al
lies is developing with Great Britain Is
reluctance to make a major military eff
fort in the Balkans. Russia and Serbia
at least are urging redoubled resist
ance.
France, however much her Russian in
vestments might incline her to support
them in these urgings, must secretly
approve the British attitude, if it
means a greater concentration of forces
on the western front. For, certainly,
France and Belgium cannot be freed
by driving the central powers troops
out of Serbia. On the other hand, if
the central allies dominate the Balkans
at the end of the war, Russia will con-
slider herself defeated.
AT this point, there enters the pos
sibility that Russia will conclude sep
arate peace to save her prestige at
least to an extent, in the near east.
1t is probable that 100000 central al
lies are ready for future operations in
the Balkans. If France and Great Bri-
tain match them man for man, it is diff
ficult to see how they can hope to
make the major offensive on the west
ern front which they undoubtedly want
to try.

SALEM SCHOOLS HAVE
REACHED 5000 MARI
Vocational Training Causes
More Interest and Larger
Attendance

The three thousand mark has been
reached by the Salem public schools, as
the enrolment for the month of No
vember, according to the report just
issued by Superintendent Elliott, was
1904. Although few have dropped
out since the report, others have come
in bringing the total attendance 45
higher than one month ago.
The parents seem to be showing n
more active interest in the school this
month, as 1888 have found time to come
to the schools, compared to 112 visits
in October.
No pupils are in the schools under
the age of six. In the classification
Of those attending between the ages
Of six and nine, there are 344 boys and
331 girls. Between the ages Of nine
and 10, the girls are in majority, as
the boys number 1868 and girls, 375.
The reports Of November, as well as
for October, show that between tae
ages Of 12 and ID, the boys and girls
number about the same, as this month
266 boys aro registered an 269 girls.
The increased attendance Of the last
month has been mostly in the higher
grades, between the ages Of Ia and 20.
In November, 4SS boys between these
ages were attnding, and e506 girls.
Over 20 years Of age, the boys mum
ber 90 and girls 8.
Although the census this year win
show no increase over that of last
year, the attendance has been increas-
ing. This may be attributed TO the
fact that the school work in the upper
grades is more practical through voca-
tional training, and It is this vocation
al work that is keeping the boys in
school.

BLOOD BESPATTERS
CHRISTMAS HOLLY
IN BALKAN BATTLE
Peace On Earth" Seems Far
Away Mid Scenes Of Death
and Horror
By William G.. Shepherd.

Salonika, Greece, Dec. 6.-(Delayed.) }
Mighty battling is on in the Christ
mas holly woods near Strumnitza.
Bloody strife marks that region
where grows the emblem of "peace on
earth, good VIII toward men. - The Bull
garians have been attacking since Sat

fronts Friday night and Saturday. Atop
the hills stretched lines of allied bat
teries, sending shells screaming eight
miles across valley to mountains a
mile high. The holly hills shook with
the dull roars of the cannon; the scene
was ghastly.
The allies artillery seemed superior
to that of the opposing forces. The
shells blasted the Bulgar works, and
blew up whole lines Of advancing en-
envy, while the allies losses were com
paratively slight.
Death Amid the Holly.
The sheen of holly leaves on the
broad hillsides was dulled by scattering
blood. Among the bright red Christ.
mas berries, Red Cross workers found
the bodies of Bulgars and allies, twist
ed and shattered their faces marked
with the death horror following hand to
hand struggles.
Occasionally, the Bulgars broke over
the hills in wild charges, screaming like
demons as they came, with their bay
onets ready for the slaughter.
Throughout the Balkan wars, they
have been known as champions with
the bayonet. But the French zouaves
were their match.
In three encounters, French cold steel
caught them, stabbed them to death,
and sent them fleeing back to the hol-
lv hills from whence they came-human
targets before the slashing fire of ma
chine guns and shrapnel shells.
Bitter cold increases the horrors.
Several outposts have frozen to
death.
Bitter Cold Prevails.
Wounded lie in agony on the battle
line if they are not taken Immediately
to the rear for attention. Cold, more
intense than that of northern New Eng
land or the Dakotas, freezes them in
short time. At night, eggs will burst
in their shells before the cracking
cold.
Above the roar of guns, one hears the
bowling of a pack of wolves, a dismal,
ghastly sound in this region of Internal
horror.
Behind the firing line, though, is an.
other sight. The region looks Christ.
