There IS always riddle in the Balkans Just now there several riddles. To enumerate only three What Greece going to do What Russia going to dc? What is the allied Salonica going dc? Any of these problems is sufficient to keep war fam awake nights

 There is undoubtedly thorough understanding be- tween them. There is all the more interest then in knowing when those half million or three quarters of million British French Serbian troops at Saonica will strike in what direction they will strike and what their objective will be. Their first big movement will tell the story
 An American college professor who has just returned from Russia after several years residence there maintains that Russia intends drive straight through Bulgaria and strike at ConstantnOple from the European side It quite possible although the experts have said little about it. If the Russians and Rumanans succeed in beating back the German Bulgarian offensive in eastern Rumana it would be a natural move

ARoLlshINe LONELINESS.

One of the unexpected blessings of the war, says John Ervne the British dramatist the elimination of the lonely woman"
 The women indicated by this have long con suted a large class in Great Britain where the female population much outnumbers the male It somewhat the situation that exists native New Eng flanders where there reorganized problem the attached woman"
 Mr Ervine tells of the spinsters with private income and the widows without family who used to spend their days drifting aimessy from boarding house boarding house. resort carrying their dulness with them wherever they went" They nsuerably bored with life because they had nothing do occupation for hand mind genuine interest vtalize their souls
 They filled up big gaps in their lives with miscel aneous collection of ailments and aectatons and nggngs futile benevoence backbiting bridge perpetual, ping bridge" The type is quite recognz- able. We ourselves have it exhibition every winter resort and visible in it's mder phases in nearly every city
 The has changed all that, declares Mir. Ervne
 If there is lonely left in England, is her fault If there is a woman in these islands who is without occupation without friends without definite and
 
 Wherever one goes one sees women formerly idle now busy work that only employs them, inspires them. In cities and towns and villages one sees them making bandages and surgical dressings packing parcels picking sphagnum very carefully lest anything tangled in it that would injure wounded man whom it is to be used All these and myriad other employments have turned lonely useless into women who have many friends and who performing valuable work"
 It excellent change. good unquestionably for the women concerned And yet making surgical bandages can hardly be held model occupation. permanent one a productive What pity that relief from loneliness and emptiness be purchased only at the price of tragic and ephemeral diversion! diver sion which itself implies the bitter loneliness bereave ment to hundreds of thousands Of other women
 After the the old problem will return We have it always civilized nation has it And can civilized society find corresponding interest fruitful and worth while lonely women in times of peace.

BETTER THAN SUCCESS.

In midst of the mingled herosm and cruelty, sacr sorddness. of the European conflict, the news of Lieut. Shacketon's exploit in the Antarctic like a refreshing breeze among masmc vapors. It pure herosm and high adventure the plan prosac narrative of which reminds chronicles of the old Norsemen
 What a saga a Morse bard could have made of this whole polar expedition filled with misfortune and glory! The long trip the Antarctic continent the unavailing efforts land the bleak cliffs among churning ice bergs destruction of their ship the five months spent on floating driven by ceaseess hurricanes the loss of a boatload men, the refuge found for of the party in a hole in ice cliff battered by tempestuous seas long voyage of the leader in small boat to South Georgia the perlous landing the climbing of almost impossible mountain in the midst of winter the sending of rescue ship which driven back by storms the sending of another which the fate and final success the leader in third attempt rescung who had clung dauntlessly that ice cliff nearly five months, with only five weeks pro visons-nowhere in the annals of adventure is there finer tale of human courage and endurance
 Lieut. Shackleton need his failure reach South Pole has better than reach the Pole He and his party given demonstration of manhood which makes all think better of mankind.
