Closer Cooperation and System to
Mark Military Operations in
The Spring

Paris. Jan. G--,Nis. c;s,s- seS IN the
allies military establishment will
have marked effect on the great
campaign that will open in the spring.
Radical reforms are already being
effected. 1t is not permitted at pre-
sent to tell the nature of the reforms,
but it is upon these that leaders in
the entente countries base their pre-
diction that the year 1916 will witness
the final defeat Of Germany.
The military power Of France, Eng

into an irresistible machine, every
part of which will work in unity.
The recent war council in Paris
was only to outline the necessary

RELIEF AT CAPITALS
Slav Offensive Expected TO Upset
Teutons' Plans for Attack on Salo-

London, Jan. 7-Ihe area oI NUS
sian successes over the Aust:o-Ger-
man forces in the east continues to
widen. Although the situation around
,Czernowitz has not yet been cleared
up officially. it appears from advices
from Russian sources that the Aus
trians are hard pressed over q long
line of defense and nre throwing
huge reinforcements into the DIST :.
The Russians here are expected to
strike at the Kolmea-S -Stanislau Hallc>
line, where powerful defensive works
have been in preparation for &ome
time by the Austro-Germans.
Meanwhile the Russian position $50
miles further north on the middle styr-
river has been greatly strengthened
by successful operations in the rcS:nn
of the great marshes, The Russians
are beginning to emerge from the
marshes with prospects of being able
to use the roads leading either. north-
west, west or southwest.
Their advance here has not been the
result Of an isolated battle, but of
series Of engagements lasting over .
considerable period. In the capitals o;
the Entente Allies the opinion is ex-
pressed that the Russian offensive has
completely upset the plans of the Gen.
tral Powers for an invasion Of Salo-
niki and Egypt.
In connection with the announce
ment of a defeat of German war
vessel oa !.ake Tanganyilla, in'rEtS:

pecialIy constructed in England and
transported to the heart of Africa,
Until the arrival of these vessels, the
Germans dominated Lake Tangan-
yika, which is the centre of large

at least, the Germans and Bulgariars

THE KAISER'S MALADY.
Baltimore Physician Suggests Cam
Ger of Larynx-Berlin Denial.


Baltimore. Jan. T. Kaiser Wilhelm
has cancer. The exact nature of
his illness. while well known to the
imperial physicians, has been made
clear fer the first time in this country
by prominent specialist in this city
The specialist explained he had oh
tanned his information from DR..
James J. West, former Balrimorean
and now eminent in Berlin medical
circles.
Two years ago there was consider
able talk OF the Kaiser being in poor
health and that an operation would
be necessary. The imperial physi-
clans then reported the kaiser had
improved, and that an operation
would not be necessary According
10 the information conveyed to the
specialist by DR.. West, however, the
operation was performed, and it was
for an ulcer on the right side of the
larynx
DR.. West, being en- American, was
not asked to perform the operation on
the emperor, but was called in con-
sultation. He advised that the ulcer
be burned out. This was done, and
the kaiser improved.
The only thing that can be done in
the case Of cancer of the throat is
to cut away the :arynX and insert
two tubes one for breathing purposes
and the other for carrying food to
the stomach. There is an cverpres-
ent danger of pneumonia. The an
tificial air tube allows cold air to
reach the lungs's flap. The air can
not he heated in going through the
tube.
As the vocal cords are in the larynN
when the later is cut away the pat
lent loses all power of speech. If the
larynx is only partially cut there is
a possibility of saving the vocal cords
and also speech. According to DR..
West, the growth in the kaiser's lar
vnx has spread, and it was necessary
10 remove the entire larynN.
Berlin, Jan. 1T is reiterated
that the persistent stories concern
ing the serious illness of Emperor
William are absolutely unfounded and
emanatc from unreliable and irres-
ponsible news source outside of Ger
many. The emperor is recovering
re 5illv from !. minn, illness, anei,has
been out recently.

NEW BRIDGE NEEDED.
Secretary Garrison Urges Need OF
New Span at Georgetown.

Secretary Garrison today directed
the attention of Congress to the press
ing necessity of replacing the anti
quated Aqueduct bridge over the Po-
tomac river at Georgetown with a
wider and stronger structure. In a
letter to the presiding officers of the
Senate and the House the Secretary
of War says he concurs in the views
of Gen. Kingman, chief of engineers,
and those of Lieut.. Col. c. A. F. Flag
Ter, engineer officer in charge OF the
repairs to the piers of the old bridge
to the effect "that the situation is one
demanding serious and immediate
consideration" and saying that early
action authorizing surveys and plans
for the construction of new bridge
is highly desirable"
Secretary Garrison states that the
chief of engineers believes ION ac-
count of the important traffic and
navigation interests involved that
the department should be left free
in any appropriation which may be
made for the purpose, "to assign the
surveys and the recommendations as
to the site, within such limits as
Congress may fix, and also the pre-
paration of plans, to board Of en-
gineer officers. The Secretary adds
that he concurs in that suggestion.

Bulgarians and Germans will march
respectively from the north and west.
No direct information has been re-
ceived that the central powers or
their allies are contemplating an i'm
mediate offensive in Macedonia, but
having learned some lessons of pre-.
paredness, the British allies have hur-
riedly completed the fortification of
their positions around Saloniki.
M. Markavich, the Serbian minister
of finance, says that his inspection
Of the situation at Saloniki, from
which he has just returned, convices
him that the allies will soon be in a

press the Greek government for an
answer to their protest against the
arrest of the German, Austrian, Bull
garian and Turkish consuls at Sal

THE CAUSE OF DREAMS.

Psychologists have given considera-
bic thought and study to the subject
of dreams but there are many ques-
tons concerning them and phenomena
associated with them, the actual state
of the unconscious mind and the rela-
ton between the mind and the body
when we dream, etc, which have nev-
er been answered satisfactorily. 1t is
impossible to say why we dream in all
cases or to account for the nature of
some of our dreams, as when we dream
about things we never saw or thought
of or experienced things that never
existed and that to our waking minds
are utterly preposterous and foolish.
The cause of most of our dreams can
be determined with a fair degree of
certainty. For example, when we have
dream that frightens us--a night
mare--it is usually caused by distress
and uneasness in the stomach result
ing from indiscretion in eating. In
many cases, it appears, dreams are
caused by some sensory impression re-
ceived by some center of the brain,
such as that of hearing, touch, smell,
etc.
Results of a number of interesting
experiments dealing with the causes
of dreams, conducted by Alfred Maury
are recorded in a recent number of
the Scientific Monthly, essentially as
follows: In one test the experimenter
caused himself to be tickled on the
! lips and inside the nostrils while he
slept. This resulted in a dream that
he was subjected to terrible punish
ment, a mask of pitch being applied to
his face, then roughly torn off, re-
moving with it the skin of his lips,
nose and face.
When a pair of tweezers was held
near his ear and struck with a pair
of scissors, the sound impression caus-
ed him to dream that he heard the
ringing of bells. A bottle of perfume
/ held near his nostrils caused him to
dream that he was in a perfumer's
shop. In another experiment a burn
ing match was held near his nostrils
while a wind was blowing through the
room. This caused him to dream that
he was aboard ship and the magazine
had blown up.
When he was slightly pinched on the
nape of the neck he dreamed that a
blister was applied and this recalled to
his mind a physician who had treated
him in childhood. A red hot iron held
close enough to his body for a slight
sensation of heat to be felt caused him
him to dream that robbers were in the
house and that they were putting the
feet of the inmates to the fire in order
to force them to disclose the hiding
place of valuables.
The word Lenoe was spoken and
when he awoke he reeollected it and
