4 FEW WEEKS ought TO see some-startling de-
n veopments in the military situation
the ocean Things have been comparatively
quiet during the dead of winter along most Of the
far extended 'front.' but the short ul has been used
by all combatants to strengthen their forces and Pc
sitions and to manufacture and bring forward huge
quantities of munitions and military supplies.
It is of some interest at this time merely to

Russia France and Belgium, necessitates the nominal

half is actually covered by troops with measure
of military pOstioning for effective defence.
In the west, fighting is almost continuous, the
principal battle numbering four five along the
west frontier Of approximately 500 miles The lines

On the south, in the Balkans, the central powers
have swept Serva and Montenegro, and are in
Albania The allied powers have occupied Greek ter
utory at many different points, without leave. They
have established formidable fortified naval and mill
tary base at SaOnki in Greece where they have
100000 already, and they plan to extend the
crescent shaped defences well into the interior They
have seized numerous Greek islands and ports. The
central powers will either assault the Sal0nik
position, else seek to hem it in and make it harmless
It is probably in the minds of the allies to attempt
sometime this year the lines and territory of
the central powers and isolate Turkey, by trying
enter the Balkans from both the Egean and from
Russia simultaneously.

This woman has played in the Passion play all her
life First as a child she appeared as a child Then
she was an angel in the garden of Gethsemane, and
then Mary Magdalen: and like all of the players in
that great simple representation she has achieved a
greatness and simplicity and inspiration that tell even
in noisy Chicago.
She warns the women that they submerge their
personality when all dress alike when they wear the
same shoes and dresses and hats they all look alike she
saws and they get talk alike and think alike They
lose individuality.
For herself she chooses Greek robes, white or dark

INJURED RORSEMAN.
IS MUCH IMPROVED
Condition Of Ralph Coffin Is Not
as Serious as at First Be-

Ralph Coffin, young Washington
horseman. who was crushed under his
mount when the animal fell ovei an
other horse In steeplechase at Blue
fields, w. Va. yesterday. is resting
quietly at the Bluefields Hospital to-
day with a good chance for recovery.
The daring young riders injuries are
not as serious as was at first thought.
according to dispatch from Blueflelds
this afternoon. He is suffering from
conclusion OF the brain and a dislocated
shoulder. and is not thought to have
been injured internally.
He recovered consciousness early to-
day.
Coffin at the time OF the accident was
riding a thoroughbred jumper which he
purchased about six months ago from
Dennis A. Epson. millionaire sportsman
OF Washington and Cleveland, Ohio. Vet
eran horsemen, friends of the young
rider, had repeatedly warned him
against riding the horse In steeplechases
declaring that he was faulty at his
Jumps"
Coffin laughed at these apprehensions
and has ridden the animal In every race
meet and county fair held In Virginia
anu tne nearby otates tnis summer
Entering the horse In the steeplechase
at the Bluefield-Graham Fair the young
Washingtonian started on him with
three other horses In the race yesterday
afternoon. At the first Jump with the
field punched, the horse in front jumped
sidewise. Cofhn's mount evidently
struck the animal In front, and both
horses and riders went down in a heap.
Former Gov. Charles f. .Magoon OF
Cuba and Panama, with whom young
Coffin makes his home at the MARI
borough apartments in this city, is
fastening from New York to Bluefields.
He was not apprised OF the accident
until this morning, when Washington
friends telegraphed him of his nephew's
plight. :
