out from the city and prisoners and
war material captured.
Press dispatches depict Monastir as
virtually destroyed by fire and ex-
plosions and deserted by the popula-
ton and describe the retreat of it's
defenders as rout. Berlin, however
declares the new positions north of
Monastir were occupied without en-
tente pressure being felt and adds that
fresh German forces have arrived on
the scene. 1t asserts further that
Serbian attempts to advance along the
Moglenica front east of the Monastir
region were defeated.
The position of Rumania appears
increasingly precarious. General Won
Falkenhayn's armies are continuing to
force their way southwark from the
Transylvanian border and Petrograd
admits a further retirement of the
Rumanians in jul Valley region. Near
Dragoslavele, northeast of Campulung,
the Rumanian troops appear to be
offering their most stubborn resistance
but Berlin declares the Rumanian at
tacks have been delivered by poorly
organized forces and have been fruit
less.
The greatest peril to the Rumanians
according to the view of entente milis
tary critics, lies in the reported cut
IlnS OF the railway from the Danube
to Craiova, threatening the flank of
the Rumanian army south of Vulcan
pass and making the position of the
Russian army at Orsova hazardous.
The bad weather along the front in
France apparently has brought opera
tions to q virtual standstill. Neither
London or Paris reports any move of
Importance made during last night.
Berlin, however, mentioned British
failures to gain ground yesterday in
attempts north of the Ancre near
Miraumont and between Serre and
Beaucourt, and the repulse of a
French attack on st. Pierre Vaast
wood. 1t also declares the British
were driven from the western por-
ton of Grandcourt south of the Ancre.
The situation in Greece apparently
has reached another of it's critical
stages. Following the demand by the
entente for the turning over of
virtually all the arms, artillery and
munitions of the Greek army, 1t is
reported to-day in news agency dis
patch from Athens that the ministers
of the central powers have been
ordered by the entente authorities to
leave Greece by Wednesday.

DIG FOR 50-YEAR-
OLD SNAKE-BITE

TContinued From First Page1
days sojourn in these wilds, with a
curious thickness of tongue and a
more or less amazing knowledge of
strangely-hu animals and things he
declared positively native to this Sec
ton. Generally speaking, the excuse
was the same and until lately one got
away with it. One told the wife that
snakes We're more than ordinarily
plentiful and that one had to defend
ones self, didn't one, m'dear? All of
which lasted until some miserly space
thief sent out a story about the COM
parative absence of snakes in this part
of the country.
Now, cowardly as it may seem.
here's another exposure of what in
time might prove to be the basis for
many a future alibi.
Really, it is all the fault of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. It
appears that in this neck of the woods
there is considerable swamp land
which the company is now attempting
to drain so as to make it suitable for
building purposes. Here, too, extends
the dry bed of the old Pennsylvania
canal.
During the last few weeks, big
gang of folks with picks and shovels,
under the direction of Johnny Doyle,
have been busy digging along the
edge of the old canal. Most of them,
tits true, are in the company's employ;
some are not. Here's the reason, so
tradition hath it:
Some fifty years ago lumbermen
buried a companion on the banks of
the old canal. Fond o. his nip, he
was, so the story goes, and grieving
fellowworkers he left behind, were
not so sure as to how Jacks wants
might be satisfied beyond the Veil,
when his thirst annoyed him. So they
placed a bottle of whisky on his chest
when they buried him-a bottle O.
whisky on a dead mans chest. Cap
tain Kidd stuff. get it?
This is the end of the story and per-
haps you've got the reason for the
perspiring activity of the group OF
Observation-Disclosures who like theirs
without water and the older the bet
teri" So, who cares if the bottom has
fallen out of that snake bite defense?
