Straits of Serbs

On the military side in the Balkans
especially. SO far as the Serbian north
ern army is concerned, the situation
has grown graver. Austro- German and
Bulgarian troops, operating in sepa-
rate columns, have entered Kossoyo
plain, where the Serbians were ex-
pected to make their last stand, and
have occupied Mitrocitza, the latest
Serbian capital, as we'll as Pristina,
and at one point, at least, have driven
the Serbians across the Sitnica river,
which drains the valley.
A Stand Dangerous
Although the Serbians might make a
stand between the valley and the AL
bantam and Montenegrin frontiers, they
will be at a great disadvantage owing
to their inability to get munitions and
supplies, while their opponents will
have virtually everything they require.
The Serbians or the katchanik front
and also in the southwest corner of
their country continue to hold back the
invaders, as do the Anglo-French forces
on the southeast. The Russians are re-
ported to have prepared an army of
100000 for operations in the Balkans.
but the point at which they will strike
has not been indicated.
While the Allies are showing renew
ed activity in Gallipoli the most i'm
portant engagements are taking place
on the Austro-Italian front, and while
Gorilla has not yet fallen, it has been
rendered untenable, fate which like
wise appears to be awaiting R1va, in
the Trentino. The station at Riva has
come within range of the Italian guns.
This latter information contained in the
Vienna official communication gives
some confirmation to the rumors that
Rovereto has been evacuated by the
Austrians.
There have been no important events
on either the western or eastern front.

THANKSGIVING IN MAINE

By Elizabeth Powers Merrill
Ho ye winds from the northland-
Blow across the hills tonight.
l am homing to the homeland,
Homing from my last long Aightl
How | long the old place
Low spread roof and diamond pane:
Yes, I'm haing my birthplace
To Thanksgiving down in Mane
Ger Names breast cloak of amber,
Frosty white her cool nights shine.
Rivers like long silver serpents
Glide past field and dying vine.
Harvess all ripe and gathered
Red of apple, yellow grain
my heart flies on before me-
To Thanksgiving down in Mainel
All her fires lit and burning
Warming blood with golden CLEANS,
Many noble sons returning
To their childhood Home of Dreams.
Back to soil where they nourished-
All the past their hearts retain
Rich and poor, strong, weak coming
To Thanksgiving down in Maine!
Some are bound from isles of pleasure,
Others from earth's dizzy heights.
Minds and bodies, hearts and faces,
Flushed with triump hs-scarred by 6ghts
Some forth from homes of beauty,
Sorhe from cr1sts and need and pain
Some with love and some from duty
To Thanksgiving down in Maine!
Back where youths long visions thrilled us
Back where learned of the Cross
Back where fathers struggled
Valantly bore pain loss.
Back whatever life has given
Humble roofs, castles in Span,-
Back to God and love and mother
TO Thanksgiving down in Maine!

War DEVELOPMENTS.

Just at present activities on the
western front of the European bat
tleheld indicate that perhaps the long
expected Spring drive" of the allies
is in progress. The French and Brit
ish force. have been vigorously on
the aggressive for several days with
the result of forcing back the Ger
man line for considerable distance
1t is true that the gains accomplish
ed by the allies are actually slight
compared with the movements in the
eastern war area, where the Rus
sian forces have swept back and
forth over zone of scores of miles
in their successive advances and re-
treats. But these western gains of
the allies are reckoned by their COM
manders as of more Importance TO
their side than the Tcutonic advance
of fifty miles in Galicia. which has
lately completely altered the aspect
Of things in tho cast.

terests clash. and compromises be-
come necessary But silence on his
part when speech is demanded. or a
half-hearted effort to do a thing
when energy and staying power are
demanded. should never be the course
adopted.
The country has just been reading
about a governor who thought he
could be master while placating the
man to whom he owed his office. He
thought he could "get along with a
boss. In way, he did. But the
revelations have not increased his
prestige as reformer, or redounded
to his credit as man of backbone.
He seems to have been more in the
boss hands than the boss was in his.
He complained that the boss was not
as easy" as his reputation had in
duced HIM to expect.
Gov. Brumbaugh has now and then
been mentioned in connection with
the presidency. The suggestion has
been made that he might figure i'll

vention as Pennsylvania 1avorite

Window Gardening.

Good citizenship demands not
merely keeping things clean and
neat through unremitting care OF the
premises. but adding something posi-
lively to the attractiveness of the
street. Washington can do much
more than it does in this direction.
1t has abundant room for dooryard
gardening which is not commensu-
rately utilized. and with very little
more labor on the part of house
holders each block in the city could
be made beautiful In another re-
spect the city dweller is neglectful
of his chances for contributing to
the attractiveness OF the street. In
some European cities householders
are required to maintain window box
es OF flowers, SO that each building is
a veritable vertical garden. Here. with
the dwellings almost exclusively built
in solid rows, these window boxes
might become a rich addition to the
city's appearance. At present the un-
broken walls OF brick and stone pre-
sent a monotonous aspect, which
might be easily modified, and at small
expense. These window boxes re-
quire but little care and attention,
and can be kept filled with Towering
plants from early spring till autumn
at very slight cost With little
organization whole blocks of houses
could be thus decorated by agree
ment between the householders 50
that the city would glow continually
with color and foliage, and be much
more pleasing to the eye than at
present

The Voice of the Nation.

1t is unnecessary to scan President
Wilson's speech in New York yes
terday to gain Il clue to the meaning
OF the note to Germany. That note
was clear enough III its declaration
of determination to do the utmost
to perform the sacred duty OF mann
tanning the rights OF the United
States and its citizens and OF safe
guarding their free exercise and en-
joyment." But i'll one respect yestcr-
day's deliverance was Illuminating on
the point OF the present issue. These
words are to be read directly in reta-
tionship to the pending question:
When a crisis occurs i'll this coun-
try it is as if you put your hand on

denoe that the force OF America Is

else for which size will contend
This utterance can signify no less
than that the President regards MS
statements lately made to Germany
as expressive of the American spirit,
in behalf of great moral principle.

abundant that the American people

to digest them. They suggest a riot
in round numbers. They throw into
the shade values which hitherto have
been considered enormous
For all instance. alarming changes
have been rung on the cost OF run
ming this government in time OF
peace for a year. A billion dollars !
What, now, is billion dollarso How
small the sum looks by comparison
with the war expenses in Europe !.
Money is being poured out there IN
floods. Nothing like it has ever been
known before.
How much longer the experience
will continue no man may say. The
tenth month of the outlay is draw
ing to close. the area of conflict is
widening. and while the need exists
the money must be found.
At the close of the war the heads
of army establishments will be re-
quired to take stock. and ascertain
what is necessary for the future. The
unparalleled struggle will have
taught much. And the same is true
OF navy establishments. War on the
water has developed phases both new
and expensive.
International lawyers will find
much to do. Many old agreements
have gone by the board. The need of
highly important new agreements will
be pressing. A beginning at the be-
ginning will be necessary to meet an
occasion produced by a world COM
motion.
Then trade Captains of industry
everywhere will have to bestir them
selves. Industries which have Ian
gushed must be revived. Such as
have been going on one wheel must
again be propelled by two. Old mar
kets will again invite, and new will
be sought. Again the great produc-
ing nations VIII engage IN contest

sibie. bigger than ever.
But the hnanciers will have the
most stupendous and the most urgent
tasks At the start they will tackle
a sort OF chaos. Confusion every
where. Losses beyond all precedent.
Anxiety universal. Distrust on every
hand. And yet action will be impera-
tive. and must at once begin. For
on tho bases of the new financial ar
rangements the future. for good or
III. must rest.
Business? There will be busincs 5
for everybody. Soldier, sailor, law
yer, statesman, tradcsman, financier
will be buster than ever before, and
on old problems in new forms, and
new problems in forms so large there
will be nothing to guide by. The
coming era of peacc-may it soon be-
gin will be the busiest in recorded
annals

tune not to be able to hold an ad-
vanced position long or to maintain
unbrokenly an aggressive movement.
Whether this is due to lack of mill
tary quality or shortage of supplies
or the superior mobility of the Teu-
tonic forces will probably not be
known until the whole record of the
war is disclosed after peace has been
restored. Yet the great numbers of
the Russians in reserve serve to off
set the heavy losses suffered by the
cars forces at the front, and it has
become an aphorism of this great
struggle that Russia can better af-
ford to be beaten than Germany to
advance, so disproportionate is the
ratio of losses to reserves.
Little has been noted lately regard
ing the Dardanelles campaign. which
appears to be progressing with less
speed on the part OF the allies than
at the outset. Yet every authentic
report from that scene of action in
dcates continuous advance by the
British and French forces along the
Gallipoli peninsula. in conjunction
with the operations of the fleets. The
conquest of the Dardanelles is prov
ing one OF the hardest problems OF
the anti-German movement. but its
results are certain to be so important
that it is regarded as an essential fea-
ture of the general campaign OF the
allies.

Jerseys Disgrace.
IN the New York Tribune.

From the New YoeK tribune.
II would be difficult to flnd Language TO
condemn too severely the failure Of the
New Jersey legislature to provide funds
for the annual encampment of the Ma
tional Guard. Such folly, and in the
present hour. passes all human under
standing.
Precisely such parsimony as this ex-
planned the death lists at Camp AlEer
and Chickamauga In the Spanish war.
The greatest advantage of the encamp-
ment for the guardsman Is the training
he there obtains in taking care Of him
self. 1t is an insurance against useless
and unnecessary loss Of life in time of
war.
To the guardsman service In the
militia represents personal sacrifice 1t
is q gift made by the youth Of the
country in the name of patriotism
There Is no prospect of proper reward
No hope Of 1t.
But why this gift should be spurned
why every opportunity should be
seized to make militia service less At
tractive. the militia less useful, can
hardly be explained. 1t is a folly be-
yond all palliation and approximates
actual betrayal of the country's inter-
ests.
II is to be hoped that New Jersey will
find no imitators in a policy which IL
