Have Meagre Details

Only meagre details are at hand, but
these show that 600 insurgents, prob
ably followers of Venizelos. forced $50
Royalish troops to evacuate Katerina
near the Gulf of Saloniki, and retreat
upon Larissa, 40 miles southwest. in
Thessaly, where they are expected to
receive reinforcement. The troops have
received orders from the King to pre-
vent at all costs the advance of the
revolutionists.
On Other Fronts
On the fighting fronts important sue
cesses have been obtained by the
French in the regaining of Fort Vaux
northeast of Verdun: by the Italians
in further push forward in the Cor
liza and Carso sectors through which
they are trying to reach Triest, and by
the Germans in Volhynia, near Wit
oniez, where Russian positions were
stormed and captured and % officers
and 1903 men were made prisoner.

The Transyluania theatre is witnessing

Austro-Germans south of the Rothen-

concerning the operations in Dobrudja

These rare tidbits often gave him am

siesta but had he known the fame that
was to be his in later life. he would
doubtless have turned up his nose at
anything less delectable than canvasback

Ambitions Realized
The great change in his quiet life came
with the arrival of the End Maine regi-
ment rambling around down there on a
peaceful mission, because our great and
good President was too proud to fight,
although not averse to having people kill
ed. One of the soldiers bought the burro
from his owner for the sum of $3.50 in
real money, which is about equivalent
to the national debt of Mexico in Mex
currency. The former owner of the donll
bought a rancho with the proceeds of
the sale and settled down to enjoy life.
The soldiers soon became very fond of
the burro. who often displayed almost
human intelligence (and had an almost
human form. all but its large, ungainly
head and its dainty. vicious little feet).
Under the watchful, loving eyes of the
soldiers, the little burro was brought
up in the way burro should go never

factors a swift kick in the jeans. or to
eat any of the hands which fed him. In
fact, his only fault was no fault Of his.
Dame Nature gave him that awful voice.
Requiescat in Pace!
When the troops came back to Maine
the burro was brought with them, as
he was the pride of the company by this
time and could not be left behind, but
alas, no sooner had the troops arrived
at Camp Keyes than the tiny and affec-
tionate little donk got hold of a piece

less soldier had left near the tent in
which the burro was kept, and the pride
of the company Immediately became sui
generis with startling and enthusiastic
abruptness.
There was much woe in the COM
pany, and it was planned to bury the
donk with all the usual military hon.
ors, but some genius suggested that

One fine autumn afternoon a party
of laborers were busily engaged in
harvesting a large crop of potatoes in
field at the top of Winthrop hill
which belongs to the City farm, when
one of them, who was burning lot of
dead potato tops, found an old bag and
put it on the fire, when to his horror,

and the feet, fell out of the sack, CIV

pulling the gruesome find from the
flames, he notified the superintendent
of the City farm, who in turn notified
one of the local reporters. and togeth-
er they viewed the remains, and then
a regular notifying bee took place, they
notified the city marshal, who called in
the medical examiner. On hasty exam
ination he called the skeleton that of

attorney. who in the afternoon inspect

and had a theory of his own about the
find. which later proved true.
In the meantime the story had been
noised abroad, and a number of papers
got vivid accounts from various sources
of the finding of a human torso, with
possible foul play behind 1t all, the town
buzzed and hummed with all sorts OF

something doing. The medical examiner

Sensational Report

A news dispatch from Athens last
night saying the Greek government had
been notified that Germany intended to
sink without warning all ships carry
ing supplies to the Allies was regarded
here as of great importance. So far as
is known the United States has receiv-
ed no such notification and it Is not
known whether one has been sent to
other neutrals.
Such procedure would be regarded
by the United States as directly con-
trary to Germany's pledges. No distinc-
ton was drawn in the correspondence
between armed and unarmed ships and
the State Department does not accept
any contention that Germany's re-
sponsibility is limited to those with
out armament. Nevertheless it is adj
mitted that Germany has always taken
q distinct view OF the status of armed
ships and it is thought probable that
she will attempt to inject the point in
to the present situation. So long as the
policies of the two governments are SO
utterly divergent. it is thought possible
that Germany might use the Marina
case to settle the issue. Her Increased
submarine warfare, combined with the
increasing number Of armed allied
ships and their increasing efficiency in
defense, makes it a vital question to
her.
Secretary Lansing. while refusing to
give out any further details of the Off
cial report of the sinkings from the
American embassy in London, said his
information was substantially the same
as that of the newspapers. Germany
and Austria on Feb. 10 in substantially
the same terms, notified the United
States to the following effect:
ENEMY merchantmen armed with
guns no longer have the right to be
considered as peaceable merchant YES
sells of commerce. Therefore the Ger
man naval forces will receive orders to
treat such vessels as belliserents."
However. in accepting the American
note on the Sussex, demanding the
abandonment of its submarine warfare
against passenger and freight carry
ing vessels" Germany said such yes
sells should not be sunk without warn
ing and without providing for the
safety Of passengers and crew, unless
the ships attempt to escape or offer
resistance"
No condition was made as to armed
ships.
