TWO MILLION MEN NEEDED FOR REHABILITATION OF SERBIA
 } MILITARY EXPERTS' OPINION
While Move From Saonk by Entente Allies Not Out of Question, Officials Believe the Less Than 5OOOOO Men Tn Greece Will Not Be Enough for Success

Struna, the Greek government would have to place at the disposal of the Entente troops the railroad line to Demir Hissar; and to advance towards Monastir the railroad to that point would have to be used.
 The present Entente line is purely defensive. Its center is at Kukush, in Greece, thirty-five ki1ometers from Lake Doiran. From there it sweeps in an arc towards the Vardar valley, where at the closest point of contact the lines of the two opposing forces are still 5000 yards from one another. This peculiar line of the Entente troops was established to prevent a surprise by the Bulgaro- o-Germans. Tn some quarters the view is held that it was dictated by concentration rear ward, due to the transfer to France of considerable French forces.
 Since the country between Kukush and the Bu1garo-German front is op- en, the Entente troops would have lit tie difficulty advancing to the oppon- ents lines. The situation has permit ted the establishment of line of en- trenchments by the Bulgaro-Germans that may be said to have it's equal only in the western theatre of war.
 In reviewing the chances of the En- tente troops to drive the Bulgaro-Ger- mans out of Macedonia and Serbia, Bulgarian and German officers argue that what 100000 Serbian troops could not do onI the defensive caRuot be undertaken by the Entente troops on the offensive unless an army of two millions is employed.
 The Serbian army, despite it's num- bers and heroic conduct, failed to pre- vent Serbia falling entirely into the hands of the Central armies. This was due in part to the great flank at tack executed by the Bu1garians, which endangered the Serbian army constantly. Entente forces advancing north would have to count with the same handicap, it is pointed out, and for this reason, no offensive from Sa- -loniki can be successful, it is claimed, unless the Entente governments are ready to employ the large forces named.
 Opinion is expressed here that the Central Group of beIligerents must ul timate1y clear Sa1oniki of it's foreign garrison, either with, or without the consent of Gren ce. Since Greece re- alizes that her Macedonian possessions will be placed in jeopardy if the Cen tral Power troops eject the Entente forces from Sa1oniki and it's hinter- land, it is. easily conceivable, accord ing to we'll informed circles here, that the closing chapter of the Balkan ou- erations will contain the fact that the Greek troops assisted in removing the Anglo-French forces from SaIoniki.

conviction, that the national cause had been betrayed. The Irish are trusting people. They firmly believed that the avowed policy of ParneI would be continued by the men who assumed his mantle. Of course there were men who never had faith in par liamentary agitation, but even they submerged their opinions for the com mon good.
 There were some improvements on old conditions regarding land tenure, and appointment to office of men who were socially ambitious for title, and membership of the English garrison, but the vital interests of the country were unaffected.
 Trade and industry remained para 1yzed, commerce was prohibited, tax ation increased, population deceased, and the only things that f1ouished were poorhouses and politicians"
 Justice Golf declared that "the cause of Ireland" has not been lost. 'On the contrary he said, 'it has been revivified and engthened. The incubus of false political doctrine, preached by false political prophets, that has lain upon her for years, has been destroyed. The world has been enlightened with truth, and Ire1and's S long and painful Journey to. the goal of certain nationhood has been quick ened by the blood of her martyrs.
 So far as we have been allowed knowledge, the last words Of PearSe were those addressed by letter to his mother. Because of their beauty and sublime spirit of heroic resignation, I quote: This is the death I should ask if God gave me my choice, a soldiers death for Ireland and freedom. We did right. The people who say hard things now, later will praise us. Do not grieve, mother, it is the sacrifice God has asked
 Particularly to the clerical editors of the religious journals, both in Ann erica and Ireland, who profess the same reIgion that Pearse did, and who now defame him, I command the reading of those simple words uttered on the brink of the grave. Whether charity even would be suggested can not say, but I can and do say with absolute confidence that long after these writers who are now sheltered by anonymity shall have passed into eternal obscurity the dying woNds of Patrick Pearse shall ring clarion note to the hearts of all who love jus tice and human freedom"

Sofia. June 5.-In military quarters
 At the Macedonian front and in politi- cal circles here the opinion is express ed that while an offensive move on the part of the Entente forces at Sa- Eloniki is not out of the question, such
 a manoeuvre would be devoid of all
 prospects of success if undertaken 1 with fewer than fifty army corps, or iabout 100000 men. Thus far the l Entente allies have brought to Saloni- Xxi about 350,000 effectives. With the
 addition of 100000 Serbians the En- Etente contingent would still be below
 a half million men, 9, force considered here being entirely inadequate to l undertake the rehabilitation of Ser -bia.
 The terrain difficulties which the
 Entente troops would be obliged to overcome are regarded as enormous. in all cases the Entente troops would have to fight uphill One of two ad-
 imittedIy weak points in the Bulgaro- lAustro- German line are amply cover
 ed by stronger positions immediately in the rear, it is stated to the cores pondent, so that a falling back would l be an entirely strategical affair. The Macedonian defense line runs in the main as follows: In the East it has the Cengel Daghs as it's extreme point of support These mountains are from 4,5OO to 4,8O0 feet high, rug EGO ana pToclpI1OuS IOWdTQS AlO oOOLI, the direction of attack. Then comes
 the very narrow valley of the Struma,
 the defense of which can be carried lout from the foothills of Belashitza (Pianina. West o9 this valley lies the mountain chain named, a. single high crest some forty ki1ometers long, run ming due west.\ South of the range in question, lies the valley and lake of Doiran and slightly to the northwest Of the Doiran and Vardar valleys the FBIagusha Planina, in which the Ang- [ lo-French troops were defeated in the
 battle of Kosturino, in November, 1915.
 The remainder of the line consists of the Padjah, Marianska, Blatec, Mid she Dobropolje Planinas and their connecting crests. Then comes the ; valley of the Karasu river, southeast of Monastir, a terrain which so far 1 has not interested the Entente troops lverx much. The Suhagora mountains and Malo and Prespa lakes adjoin the very difficult mountain country of southeastern Albania. Feasible lines of advance of the En- ] tente troops are the Vardar Valley and the country about Doiran; the valley of the Karasu river, upon Monastir; and lastly the valley of the Struma-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 4.-Suc-
cessful operation of a government
railroad, which private interests could
not be persuaded to build, is causing
much satisfaction TO Interior Depart
ment officials. The line extending 25
miles from Yuma, Ariz., to the MeXi-
can boundary line through the Yuma
Valley, has been in operation daily
since February and has carried 300,>
600 tons of rock besides frequent
shipments of other freight which are
increasing. Passenger traffic has been
light, owing to the appropriated region
through which the road runs, but
considerable progress has been made
i'll the settlement of the country and
a townsite IS miles from Yuma has
been opened.
Construction of the railroad, the
second government-owned line, was
deemed a necessity by officials of the
United States Reclamation Service
These had been unsuccessful in efforts
to interest private capital which con
sidered the prospect doubtful for the
payment even of it's expenses. AS a
system of rock revetment was requir-
ed by the Yuma Valley reclamation
project the engineers decided the ma
terial could be placed economically

PUBLIC HEALTH REPORT.


The annual report of the Secretary
of the Treasury as it relates to the
Public Health Service contains num-
erous recommendation bearing on
the functions of that organization and
evidences the great interest of this
department in the extension and eX-
pansion of the governmental agen-
cies for the protection of the public
health.
In the development of general pub
lie health work, according to the
Secretary, there is great need of ad-
diaional medical officers. The num-
Der of requests for advice and assist
ance in haelth problems received
from states and municipalities during
the past year has far exceeded that
in any similar period in the history of
the Service, but the limited number
Of officers available for the work has
prevented in many instances compli-
ance with these requests.
The field Investigations, the Secre-
tary states, have served as a stimulus
to state and local health agencies, and
every effort should therefore be
made to encourage and turn to prac-
teal account the interest in health
matters awakened in tho general
public For this reason an Increase
in the appropriation Off field work is
requested
An additional building for the Hy-
gienic Laboratory is urgently need
ed The work of this institution has
been greatly extended, particularly as
il relates to the examination of vir-
uses, serums and analogous products,
a vast market for which has been re-
Gently created abroad The safeguard
ing of these therapeutic agents re-
quires great accuracy and precision
and overcrowding is serious handi-
cap In order that the public health
may be better protected, an annual
appropriation of $4,000 is recon-
mended to be expended in carrying
out the provisions of the law relati-
ing to the examination of these pro
ducts.

BLOCKADED THE RED CROSS.

Great Britain seems to have reached
the limit in the way of war blockades
when the forbids the shipment of hos
pital supplies from the United States
to Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and
Turkey. The Red Cross society has
large quantity of supplies gathered in
New York, but has been unable to
forward them because the British gov
eminent in spite of formal denials has
prevented this shipment.
This action is contrary to the agree
ment made between the belligerents
shortly after the beginning of the war,
in which it was determined that medi-
cal stores should be allowed to pass

England insists that she can't af-
ford to let rubbed gloves enter the
enemy's country because that would
release an equivalent quantity of rub
Der for making automobile tires and
other war materials. But even if any
lappreciable difference could be made
in this great war by the quantity of
rubber required for surgical gloves in
the military hospitals, it's hard to see
how any civilized nation can sanction
so brutal a policy.

There is a boy in our town,
And he is very wise;
He always stops and listens,
And uses both his eyes.
He's never in a hurry
To get across the street;
He'll never get run over
eBcause he is discreet
And in another place an appeal is
made directly to the child's love for
his mother:
HE knows if he were injured
His mothers heart would break,
And so his rule is Safety First
For his dear mothers sake"
