connections between the now isolated
Turkish army group, but of constant

their own forces from the Black sea
district to the recently occupied town
Of Mush on the southern Russian

Thus the operations Of the Rus

a solid and unbroken advance along

NATIVE F|J|AN
WRITES ABOUT
WARSTRUGGLE
Describes Weakness and Igno-
rance Of Some Who Have
Served in the Army.

SUyA. Fill islands, Feb, 23.-How
the war impresses South Sea Island
er, the only native Fijian who has
actually been at the fighting front.
Is indicated In a letter received here
from Chief Sakuna, who was a stu
dent at Oxford University when the
war broke out and who enlisted In
the French Foreign Legion,
Hundreds are here" says he In
his letter from the front, who can
not shoot to hit house, and they
have been years in the ranks Of SOL
dIers. 1t is a bad thing that some Of
you young Fijian are not here. The
coldness of the weather is nothing
when one is clothed.
THE pits which the shells have
dug all around the country look like
Fijian ovens. The fighting areas are
like a place that has been ravaged
by tremendous hurricane. Great
trees and small scrubs are all with
cred and fallen in all directions and
broken by the shells and the strength
of the fumes-that Is. the gas which
they invented in Germany. Compar-
atlvely speaking, it is sweet to read
the accounts Of the war. but the trail
Of 1t here crushes the soul. The
trail OF hurricane there with you 10
merely a storm. Here DeeE (God)
alone can comprehend 1t.
"One thing smiled at frequently.
and felt great pity about. Some old
men and 'grannies" in the North
when some Of their houses stood
alone refused 10 leave them. They
continued to occupy their homes
along with their dogs and chickens
and cows. l asked a couple why they
had not fed, and they answered they
were too old, and death did not mat
ter to them. In another case the
owner remained in his house while
our trenches lay at the back Of his
house. and the enemys trenches
were only eighty yards distant. Every
morning he MIXED his COWS, while
the projectiles never ceased falling
in his enclosure.
"One thing abominated, was when
the shells were fired toward Us, and
they came with a sound like crying.
or like whistling, and a devilish
noise. We did not feel comfortable
under it, and when they burst 1t was
like the air giving us kick in the
side, and our heads shook, and our
stomachs seemed on fire."

BIRDS AREN NOT
DISTURBED BY
WARS HORRORS
Feathered Songsters Not
Frightened in the Least by
Bursting Shells.
Correspondence of Associated Press)

Correspondence of Associated Press.)
PARIS, Feb. 23.--Bird life along the
battle front appears to have been
little disturbed by the continual
laundering Of the guns. Birds dis
appeared from the war zone after the
battle Of the Marine, and some natural
lists attributed their migration to the
din Of war. They came back again,
however, and little by little accus-
toned themselves to the noise Of ex-
plosives and even find an advantage
In being close to the conflict whore
there is ample nourishment around the
soldiers quarters. Doves and wild
pigeons are the most abundant. while
there are many cuckoos, thrushes,
crows, magpies and Jays. Starlings
are very common. resting In trees as
close as they find them In the trenches.
Monsieur Louis Rousseau, we'll
known ornlthologist. has discovered
that the war has changed the char
acter Of these birds and made them
thrifty. He has found their nests in
the holes of dead oaks. with provis-
ion OF breadcrumbs stored away pru-
IDENTIFY underneath. Doves fly about
between the two lines, paying no at
tention to the bursting shrapnel; and
none Of the appear to be afraid Of
either aeroplanes, observation bal
looms or dirigibles.
Buzzards are everywhere along the
front, and they seem to find particular
amusement in clrcling aroundsthe OBJ
servation balloons.
Monsieur Rousseau finds game very
abundant in tho section OF the front
where he is, due partly to the suppress
sion of shooting since the war began,
but mostly, he think, to the invasion
which drove game ahead OF It toward
the Marine. Deer and stays are very
numerous, in spite Of a great deal Of
poaching on the part Of the peasants.
on the other hand, rabbits are very
rare. Wild bears are seen In places
they were never known to frequent;
litter Of wolves was found In ditch
beside the road near which territorials
were digging o trench, and two others
were found In an abandoned trench
1900 yards away from any stream.
Poecats, martins and weayels have
almost entirely disappeared, their
places taken by rats and mice.

DISCIPLINE IS
DIFFICULT TO
MAINTAIN NOW
Among Soldiers in Volunteer
Armies for War Australian
Officers Find.

SYDNEY, Australia, Feb. 23.-The
military authorities are having an In
creasingly difficult task in preserving
discipline among the Australian re-
cruits. There have been number OF
outh breaks by soldiers, resulting IN
the burning Of tents, the stoning OF
Greek fruit shops and oyster saloons
in Sydney and Newcastle, and re-
fusal among soldiers en- masse to pay
their fares on the state-owned rail-
roads.
The Liverpool camp, twenty-five
miles from Sydney, being the largest
and most important one in the state
Is chiefly affected. There may be seen
the ineptitudes. Shortcomings and
abuses which spring from an unpre-
pared nations being suddenly called
upon to cope with the mobilization,
care and preparation Of wounded vol
unteer armies
Scores of instances of the demo-
cratic spirit Of the recruits at Liver
pool-especially those from the
bush could be given to illustrate
the problems facing the military
powers high and low in Australia. A
strapping rookie" wishing to ask a
question Of an officer who was about
100 yards ahead of him, whistled
loudly in typical country fashion and
the yelled "Hey!" The officer ma
turally believed that he was wanted
on some important business, walked
back rapidlysto the man who had
hailed him.
~ say old chap. the recruit be-
gan, propping himself against a post,

you shouldn't SLOUGH that way
when you address an officer the Of
hcer gently reproved him. Perhaps
you haven't been taught yet, but al
ways remember in future that before
speaking to an officer you should

The recruit eyed the officer critical
ly and then turning on his heel re-
marked:
"Well, If that's the way you are
going to take 1t, / won't bother ask
ing you any questions.
Another raw recruit olgslnS
trench was accosted by an officer who
happened not to have his sword-belt
on. Hard at it?" the officer asked.
"My oath mate" was the mans re-
ply, "but while you're sergeant can

ton, applied to the privates at the
camp by the privates themselves.

FOREWORD.

The recent feats of the German
submarine Deutschland have as
tonished the world, but what they
have accomplished cannot be said
to be undreamed of possibilities.
The dream must ever come be-
fore the deed, and long befofe
the submarine had Z tangible ex-
istencs Jules Verne, nearly half 4
century ago, published his re-
markable story, Twenty Thou
sand Leagues Under the Sea-"
Not yet has the submarine achiev-
ed al the possibilities Of the au-
thor's dream. but what may Do
accomplished in the future 1t Ia
impossible to foretell.
Anyway. Jules Verne's story
has SURPRISING interest at this
time.
The story opens In the year
1866, and it is related that this
year was signalized by a remark
able incident, mysterious phe-
nomenon which puzzled the CIV
liked world. Vessels had been
met by an enormous thing a long
object, spindle shaped, occasion
ally phosphorescent and larger
and more rapid in movement
than a whale. Repeatedly ships
had met this moving mass. Some
had been damaged by striking it;
others We're supposed to have
been sunk by it, for ships had
disappeared and left no trace be-
hind.
A fast frigate OF the United
States navy, the Abraham Lin
coin, was sent to search the seas
for the disturbing monster. And

to the United States, Nj. Aronnax.
was invited to accompany the
expedition. He took with him his
