NEW YORK. Jan. 9--The defeat
OF the Turkish force in the Caucasus
and disclosures of discussions among
the Turks and Germans were the most
significant events of the weeks war
news. 1t would be premature to say
that Russia's victories at Sartkamlsh
and Ardahan are in themselves decis-
i've, for the Mussulmans have rallied
along their own frontier, but the read
mess with which German strategy is
blamed for the Turks plight, indicates
the campaign against Russia is being
waged with reluctance by the Moham-
medans, who would rather fight for
their co-religionists in Egypt than for
their allies. Nevertheless fundamental
requirements OF Germany's eastern
plans OF campaign do not suffer essen
TALLY by reason of the Turkish defeat.
Germany's immediate object in secur-
ing the assistance of Turkey is served
when Russia weakens her armies In
Poland for operations along the eau
casus-Asia Minor frontier. II an offen-
sive in Armenia by Russia follows
the Caucasus victory, still more men
will have to be diverted from the Pol
ich campaign and the danger OF an
eventual invasion of Prussia becomes
remote. sraa
Russia's movement across the Car
pathians into northern Hungary has
made no progress during the week.
Instead, further change seems to
have been, ordered in the Russian
strategy. The rapidity OF Slav ad-
vance through Bukovina apparently
has made, it advisable to press the
offensive against Budapest from the
east, instead of from the north. Sew
eral German corps are reported to
be enroute for Hungary to stinen
Austria's resistance, and, the DISPOSE
ton OF these reinforcements may
have caused the Russian general staff
to reply on Bukonivan advance In

On the eve Of the expiration Of HIS

had previously released from behind

today he pardoned and paroled forty
more prisoners serving terms in the

Governor Blease's wholesale order

were FIVE hundred prisoners convict

day. 1t Immediately got into
wrangle over the representation 70 Dc
allowed the different factions. NOT
one step of progress has been taken
since that time. Almost all OF the
delegates bring their six shooters TO
the sessions to aid them in solving
problems. Many leaders have found
it unhealthful to attend the conven-
ton. Reports to the state department
indicate the chairman OF the conven-
ton excused himself for illness. The
secretary Of war, vice chairman, found
it impracticable to attend, he said.
The convention does not seem to
be arousing much public interest
was the way the state department an
read. The last dispatch
from Special Agent Silliman in Mexico
City stated that some OF the members
OF the convention had held a caucus
and decided to elect new officials
whose health and convenience would
permit them to attend.
In the face of these facts the gener-
al belief of officials is that the Mex
lean situation is now further from
solution than ever. President Cutler
req has issued the following mani
festo. ut may be considered that the
problem of pacification is practically
solved. AS 1t would be inopportune
to publish at this time the decisions
arrived at I refrain from Civ
ing their details"
The state department commented:
TT is stated that this announcement
is thought to carry with 1t an intina-
ton of strengthening Of the central
party, without the DOM
nation of any particular leader or
faction"
Secretary Bryan today received
Leon Canova, who has been special
agent in Mexico for several months.

81 his observations. Bryan declined
to make public any part of what Can
ova said and Canova was equally re-
ticent. 1t is doubtful whether he will
return as some of the Mexican fac
tons have not been particularly
pleased with his presence.

a Pioneer Canoe Trip

Chester B. Henna, physical instructor
of the Augusta Y. NJ. c. A, and Harry
r. Poole, drug clerk of the Temple
Pharmacy, have started on a long canoe
trip which will require about eight days
journey by water and land. Probably
the circuit these canoeists plan to COM
plete has never been followed before by
canoeists. though the first part of the
trip has been a favorite course for years
with lovers of the light Indian craft
The paddlers started from the Augusta
Yacht Club wharf and announced their
next station as Gardiner. From Gardi-
ner they will take the canoe up Cobbos-
seecontee stream to Lake Cobbosseecon-
tee; from Cobbosseecontee outlet to Jug
gernaut stream and thence to Lake An
nabessacook; thence to Winthrop where
they will carry across the village to
Lake Marranacook; from Winthrop
across Marranacook to Readfield where
they viii carry seven miles to Belgrade
stream; up Belgrade stream to Long
pond and thence, to Belgrade village and
Great pond; across Great pond to Mead
ow stream and ups the stream to North
pond: across North pond to Smithfield
village and North Pond stream; through
North Pond stream to East pond and
thence by carry two miles to Martin
stream; Is miles down Martin stream to
the kennebec river and down the river to
Augusta
The trip has often been made into East
pond but canoeists have never before at
tempted the Martin stream trip. from a
no
Kennebec. The first three or four miles
of the Martin stream trip may prove
difficult, but the unsurpassed beauties Of
the remainder of the trip to the Kenne-
bee will be we'll worth the difficulties en-
countered near the streams source. Mar
tin stream from Larone to the kennebec
is farfamed for its gracefully winding
course through the forest. This section
of Martin stream has an average width
of from 20 to 30 feet and the course is
broken by three beautiful cascades. The
stream is a favorte with bass and pick
erel anglers on the lower section and
yields many splendid brook trout near its
source.
The Augusta men who are making the
trip are both expert canoeists and eX-
perienced anglers. They will sleep out
of doors nights, prepare all their food,
and depend upon Natures larder as
much as possible Upon arriving at the
kennebec river at the mouth of Martin
stream they will steer for the Good Will
Pines one mile distant to visit the camp
of the Good Will Homes. They will then
try the bass fishing in the Kennebec and
later come down river to Augusta.

The boat was found in deep water
200 feet downstream from her moor

be none the worse for it's submarine

the boat and examined it after it was
secured upon the shore.

Objects of historical interest in
Maine are not generally designated

most important places are thus ident-
flied. and in some sections. where
daughters or sons of the Revolution
are active. the work has been done
more thoroughly.
II Maine people, who are earning
a living entertaining summer guests,
can be made to realize the extent
to which these tablets and markers
enhance the value Of their scenery"
not only will Names history be
brought to the front, but its history
will be made a very substantial
source of income.
This is true of the inland towns as
we'll as of the shore resorts. The
route Of the brave men who suffered
terrible hardships in their effort to
capture Quebec, is case in point.
1t is true that the man who led the
expedition, Benedict Arnold, after
wards became a traitor, but the men
under him were true and it would
interest thousands Of present day au-
tomobilists to follow the road these
men followed A few markers have
been placed along this route already,
but more could be used to advantage.
The speed mania is wearing off each
year and more automobiles are tour
ing Maine for what they can see.
