SPANISH \ R N ' ON MODERN
 LINES

MADRID, Jan. 27. - Army reform, with the reorganization of the Span ish army on modern lines, now stands an excellent chance of being carried out by the Cortes, aroused by the lessons of the present war. General Luque, the war minister, has proposed such a reform since 1906. He re- gards the formation of general staff to be of first importance. To save time, this has just been done by royal decree. Then comes the task of reducing the enormous number Of officers, particularly generals, with whom Spain's army is overstocked. This is a delicate problem, and one sure to cause a great deal of jealousy and bitterness. Reforms in adminis- tration and equipment will follow.

 GETS REWARD

LONDON, Jan. 2. - After a shell from a submarine grszed the head of the captain of a British steamer voyaging in the Mediterranean, the captain hauled out the ships gun and returned a shot that caused the U-boat to disappear Then the passengers sang "Nearer My God to Thee" and a prayer was offered up in thankful ness for their escape, A collection in gratitude for the skill shown by the captain and crew amounted to nearly $1,000. This incident is related in letter from Rev. A. J. Mortimore. formerly curate of Southport. Beyond the fact that the vessel was fired on while near Alexandria, no particulars as to it's name or destination are given.

TURKS AND ARABS PROVE FIERCE
 FIGHTERS

BERLIN, Jan. 27 Dispatches sent from Cairo to the Cologne Ga zette today assert that the British forces in Mesopotamia are once more in a dangerous position, owing to the fierce and continued attacks being di- rected at them by the Turkish troops. The Turks are being assisted by hordes of Arab irregulars, who are proving fierce fighters, and who go into battle with a reckless disregard of death and danger. The Arabs are fighting with all the rervor of re- Iigious fanatics, and they return to the attack again and again despite the hail of machine gun fire with which the British have been moving them down. The British are also suffering heavily, for it would be impossible for any force to withstand the sus- tained ferocity of the Arab soldiers without enduring great losses. The correspondent of the Gazette states that up to December 30 the British casualties were fifteen thousand killed and twenty thousand wounded

BOYS LOOT BANK IN DAYLIGHT
 IF S12,000

CHICAGO, Jan. 2s. - A daylight bank robbery threw the entire busi- ness section of Chicago into tur- moil this morning. the robbers sue cessfully getting away with their haul in the confusion which followed their deed. Four armed robbers en- tered the Washington Park National Bank shortly before noon, drawing their guns, they ordered everyone in the place to throw up their hands. The cashier and clerks had no alter native, and the twenty or more deposit tors who were in the building at the time were summarily lined up against the wall, while one of the robbers stood guard over them. The robbers then proceeded to take all the cash that was in sight in the tills, not at tempting to enter the saIe deposit vaults. They secured about twelve thousand dollars, and backing out of the door, entered a waiting auto and sped away in safety, while the bewil- dered clerks and depositors were looking for the police. The whole affair took place in an incredibly short space of time. The robbers were hardly more than boys, none of them appearing to be over twenty years of age. ...

NEW YORK, Jan. 27. - President Wilson arrived here from the White House this afternoon. and will speak before a body of railroad men this evening. The President is supposed to fire his first gun in the prepared ness campaign at the meeting to- night, and it is thought that the speech will contain an important message to the people of the country.

UNCLE GAM ON LOOKOUT FUR
 LQTTERIES

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27. - Increase in the number of government lotter- ies abroad as the war drags itself out is forcing United States postal author ities to be especially watchful to pre- vent their advertisement in this coun- try. The lotteries are given publicity in the United States in two ways, iI was said at the postoffice department today. Individual letters are written to American citizens in an effort to induce them to purchase tickets, and news stories are circulated of fabu- lous sums won.
 Letters soliciting clients, if they fall into the departments hands. never reach their destinations. Some get through the department if on the out side they do not present suspicious appearance. All the suspected let ters are diverted and opened.

GERMANS SHELL. AND CAPTURE.
 TRENCHES

BERLIN, Jan. 2. - Reports are being received from the front in France and Flanders stating that the favorable turn which the weather has taken has resulted in increased activ- ity among the opposing troops. Active fighting has been going on at several scattered places from the Ypres dis trict to the Vosges The Germans have not taken the offensive except in one locality, near Neuville, where the French trenches were shelled and three lines Of the enemy's position captured by an infantry charge. The captured trenches were retained by the Teutons, although they were com pelled to repulse eight fierce assaults by the French troops, both sides los ing many men. The British artillery has been particularly busy the last few days, and the portion of the west tern line near Nieuport has been sub jected to a continuous fire of shrap- nel and explosive shells. Tn this re- zion yesterday the English fired 1,700 shrapnel shells and TOO explosive shells, besides the same number of bombs.

BLIZZARD RACES IN DIFFERENT
 STATES

DENVER, Jan 27. - furious blizzard is raging in southern Colo rado, where the weather has greatly increased in frigidity, and the snow is falling and drifting badly before the strong wind. The storm here is the worst of the winter. ~he town Of Havre, Montana, reports a new low mark for the temperature, the official reading being fifty-four below.

CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE

conclusion that it is not death that

is the pain of death. l was quite ready
to let them put me to sleep from

Poor, old Dick could not stay in
the room during the examination.
The first time l made a noise which

After the examination the doctors
went into conference, and l, waiting
outside, must have had some such
feeling as a man endures while await

deciding whether it shall be "the

At last Dick and the doctors came
in together, and, little book, this is
the verdict:
