nj EW YORK, June 10 - The
~ Entente Allies, under the
command of General Sarrail, are
reported to be maSsing in Mace
donia for a great drive against
the Bulgar-AIstro- -Germanic lines
now holding rifed and ravished
Serbia.
Such at least is the opinion
s6i many Of the most acute Of the
military observers who have been
watching the steady gathering Of
armed men in the lines Of the A.
lies in Macedonia and along the
Albanian and Serbian borders. It
is fairly well known that large
numbers of British and French
troops have been poured into the
Balkan theater Of late, and Thes-
salia, the scene OF the greatest
activity, is the strategic point
from which such an attack as il
is believed the Entente general
staff is now contemplating, would
be most advantageousIy launch

Whether the Allies are contem-
plating a drive that will have for
its objective the recapturing of
all OF Serbia and the freeinq Of
that nation from the monstrous
yoke OF the Bulgar and Austrian,
remains to be seen. II is thought
possible that the main objective
is Nish, which, situated upon the
Belgrade to Constantinople, forms one
of the keys to the great Miteleuropa
dream Of the Kaiser and his war chiefs.
Nish gives control of the railroad over
which the Germans have been sending
troops and munitions to their ally In
Turkey, and the cutting Of that road
as has been pointed out many times
before, would mean the complete col
lapse of the Ottomen government and
the subsequent fall of Bulgaria, already
sadly regretful of her bargain with
the Huns. -. sE.l n p -,

has demonstrated in his campaign for

be an effort to tax people to death for
an impractical scheme of paved couh-
try highways. He has been classed as
a bitter opponent of the highway com
mission. His reputation in the last
session was gained because OF his leau-
ership in what was known as the
johnson contingent of the house. THESE
are the fellows who wanted TO get
the highway commission and emaScu-

The peg tooth IS an intirm substitute

Merle Smith had done for himself
perhaps more than any habit OF going
to church, led me into the First

were more than the usual number OF

say that $500 people were seated. and

that same pleasing. friendly, yet firm

their names.
He must be making good, for he
had to pause in the services to thank
one and all for the many kindnesses
which had been shown to him and to

recognition personally and yet he IS

a lecture platform-that is it showed

| the lecturer. Pasadena, as YOU know,
| is the playground OF a nation 1t Is the
| home of retirement and eventide Of
| life for many. Smith took occasion
| to discuss the old year and welcome
| the new. He spoke from the life and
| writing of the apostle Paul, who
sought to the very end of old age to
live life of optimism and better
works. beware Of the rivers Of the
| desert" spoke Smith to people who
were living TRANQUILITY in desert re-
claimed. for they sink themselves into
the sands Of obligation ere their course
is run. But emulate the streams Of
the mountains" continued the man
lately from the Colorado hills, 1.-THE
streams which rush onward with never
ceasing purpose and turn wheels Of
power to their very last plunge into
the waters of the ocean"

ing to his figures Of speech He is not
so oratorical as Matt" Hughes, who
