l gotten to ask you whether you will nave coffee or tea with your luncheon. The coffee will be ready in a moment but Katie can bring your tea service to the table if you prefer the tea.''
 The Pudding Makeshift Discovered.
 ''l prefer the coffee, if you please, and if it is not too much trouble I would like it with my meal instead of after it today. I feel the need of the stimulant'
 Tt is no trouble,' I assured her, and sent Katie hurredly after the coffee and salad.
 ''Wow, but this Alphonse and Gas ton business is positively killing" broke in DiczN. T must crave your pardon, and If it is not too much trouble. The air fairly drips with politeness.'
 I ignored Dicky's comment, for I did not know what to say. but his mother looked at him steadily
 "Dlcky, you positively have grown vulgar since 1 last saw you' she said acidly.
 Perhaps she did not mean the re- mark as slap at me. but I felt that in her mind it was his marriage to me that had changed Dicky. How I N'"iAcd tile meal was over.
 l had one consolation, however. If my mother-in-law did not approve of ine she certainly liked my dinner. She ate with zest everything with which she was served. and when the things were finally removed and Katie bore in the rose pink pudding she thawed enough to express ad- miration of the dish.
 "That's a very pretty dessert" she said.
 '"This is katie's masterpiece, said nicky. But, I say, Madge. don't think it is as attra ctive as when she brings it in by itself with the sauce in another dish. Whats the idea of covering it ?'
 My checks flushed hotly at the re- mem brance of the drops of water which had fallen from the ceiling upon one side of the pudding. and of how Katie and I had concealed the accident by cutting away every spot of the pudding which the water had touched and piling the cream sauce over the outsides.
 Dicky glanced keenlH at me. Then theteasing devil which possesses him at times made it's appearance
 "Aha,' he exclaimed my lady blushes. There is some mystery here He took spoon and carefully away the whipped cream, disclosing the cut sides.
 ''Now, Dr. Watson, let us see what happened' He put his hand to his head with an exaggerated gesture. W hile I sat in terror lest he discover the truth. and his mother gazed un- at him.
 'T have it." he exclaimed at last. Katie said the bathroom over us overfOwed this morning, and the water came down. Some of the water the pudding. Pretty clever, my dear, but you can't decieVe old Sherlock Holmes. I'm glad the water didn't ruin it, for this is one of my favOrite dishes.
 He was serving the pudding as he lattled on, but his mother pushed Lack her chair with a gesture of aversion.
 Do not serve any to me, Dicky,' she sharply commanded. T could rot possibly touch it. It makes me i'll even to think of eating it.
 I did not know at which of the two l was most furious. I only knew that if things kept on at this rate there would soon be an explosion in the lives of Dicky and me.

found and the guessing business is
free to all.
The charge of bad baserUnning
could be autographed and run each
day before the returns are in from
Sox games. There would be little
chance of a mistake. 1t happened
again yesterday, and as a result
three singles and a double in success
sion could compile but one run.
Terry was the offender, trying to
score from second on a single. Later
SchaIk tried to steal second with one
out and Harper in the hole to the
batter, apparently off to a wild
streak Ray was nailed.
Winning three games and losing
seven on this trip has dropped the
Sox to fifth place, and even that
lowly position is disputed, Cleveland
being tied. A defeat for the Sox to-
day and a win for Cleveland will
drop the Rowlands a notch.
Unless a victory is recorded in
Washington, even a sweep of the
coming series with the Mackmen will
not give the Sox an even break for
this trip. And much better than an
even break was needed to give them
a pennant shot.
Dauss held Red Sox to four hits
and knocked double that scored the
winning run. Shore was hit hard.
Indians sIugged two wins from
Macks, who were also in batting
mood. Beebe finished first game
and pitched all of second for Cleve-
land. Speaker, McInniss and Turner
each knocked five hits.
Browns knocked CulIop from box,
his second defeat of year. Weilman
was tight in pinches. Sisler hit tri-
pie and single and Mullen two dOu-
bless.
Giants hammered Harmon in 18th
for victory. Burns tTipled and Hun
ter hit homer. Warner of Pirates

1t is just Mikes luck to have his
pitching day roll around when the

the mound. Rudolph beat him yes
terday, 1 to 0, though Mike allowed
but five hits, and a squeeze play was
necessary to get the run. Earlier in

Not only in his own games, but in

The real mystery of the present

the members to the speech of
Chancellor Won Bethmann Hollweg last
Wednesday, and to the headquarters re
ports. He said:
f'These will enable the nation to fol
low the successful development of the
military situation on all fronts. Our
army reports are composed in brief mil
itary style, but contrary to those of our
enemies, are always true. Our vie
torious country has no necessity to ex
aggerate.
Referring to the Russian offensive
and fighting at Verdun the war minister
said:
s'These are not, as our enemies pre-
tend to believe, the last efforts of an
exhausted nation, but hammer blows of
a strong and unconquerable people pro-
vided with human reserves and all other
necessary means for the hammer blows
which will be repeated until our adj
versaries are weary. Here applause
interrupted the minister, who continued
''To attain this aim | work with all
my skill. 4 hundred yards of trenches
are more valuable to me than the finest
speeches.
'"This war will not be terminated by
speeches about victory, but by strong
blows on the battlefield and strong
/ blows at home to hold on to the end
| We want to force a victorious decision
| Only if those at home hold on can the
army do its utmost. Never before has
any war been extended so criminally
against women and children as has now
been done by England.
''But the means at our disposal are
too vast and our will is too strong fol
England to be able to realize her starva
tion plan. The army expresses its graf
itude to the people for the strong mind
ed heroism at home. Supported by thi:
spirit the army will give everything
for peace which will be in proportion
to our sacrifices and which viii safe
guard us in the future against similar
assaults.
Until then patience is the principa
thing in this war. All its decisions
ripen slowly, but surely. Complete vic
tory will come. Let US be sure of this. ,

WHY BRITISH
WITHDREW
Dearth of Officers Prevented
Constantinople Attack
Says Monro
STORMS CAUSED
MUCH SICKNESS
In Short Time 200 British Died and
10000 Were Unfit for Duty - In
Evacuation of Helles Guns, Vehicles
and Supplies Were Abandoned.

LONDON, April IL. - The Official
Gazette publishes despatch from
Gen. Sir Charles Monro, commander in
chief of the British forces in the east
ern Mediterranean, reporting the de
veIopments in that sphere of opera
tions from October % last up to Jan
uary 9.
The report states that the position
of the British forces on Gallipoh is
unique in history Only a mere
fringe of the coast line possessing
every possible military defect has been
secured, The troops suffered from lack
of rest, an epidemic of diseases and
death of competent officers for the
make-shift brigades composed of in
fantry and cavalry. An advance on
Constantinople, the report says, was
impossible.
Gen. Monro accordingly recommend
ed the evacuation of the peninsula
and the troops were transferred to
Saloniki and Mudros.
Dealing with the operations at Sa-
lonili Gen. Monro says:
1.-The British arranged to maintain
the position at Saloniki and Krivolak
and support the French on the right,
who are protecting the railway from
Krivolak to Veles. If communications
with the Serbians were not opened the
British arranged to withdraw. Diff
culties In the transport and landing
of troops at Saloniki prevented them
from giving assistance to the Serbians
The intimation of the allies pro-
ceeding from a selected defensive line
at Saloniki was well received by the
Greek generals, who are friendly -
Concerning the Dardanelles opera
ton the report says;
Owing to an unprecedented storm
on November p and the consequent
exposure and exhaustion, 200 British
died and 10000 fell sick during the
first few days of December. Ii is prob
able that the Turks suffered more =
The report then proceeds to describe
the abandonment of the Gallipoli po-
sitions as follows:
Textbook principles and lessons Of
history were ignored in the evacuation
of -thespeniHsuls, Ho-preliniuary feint
attack being made. Rapidly in this
action was achieved owing to favora-
bic weather. Ten destroyed guns, fifty
six mules and some carts of supplies
which We're set atire were abandoned
on the Anzac position. Supplies
were only abandoned at Suvla.
The evacuation Of HeIles by the
French and British was slower owing
to accidents and the weather. One of
the largest horse ships was sunk b. a
French battleship. But on January 5
and the evacuation was completed.
The firing of our stores apparently
was the first intimation the Turks re
ceived of the allied withdrawal. Tween
tF-one guns and sos animals and vehi-
cles as well as a considerable quaint
ty of supplies were abandoned
Gen Monro praises Gen. Birdwood,
Nice-Admiral Robeek and other officers
of the navy and army as well as Gen.
Brulard, commanding the French
! troops.
