the westield river at Red Rock after
his collie, Fluff, twice tried to bring the
boy to- shore.
Joseph and his nine-year-old brother,
William, were playing on the bank.
Joseph slipped into the river. The dog
plunged In, got the lads collar in a firm
grip and tried desperately to paddle
ashore. The boy dragged the dog un-
der until Fluff was forced to come up

dived and came up with his master, but
was dragged under again until he had
to let go.
Arthur Bazata came at the older
brother's screams, Owed in and
brought the body Of Joseph to shore.
Fluff, who had kept diving desperate
ly, refused to come ashore until Baza.

back on their own soil, and with the
help of other troops took Monastir.
King Constantine of Greece gave up
the forts of Kavala to the Bulgarians
and the Germans took about 10000
Greek soldiers to SIlesia as guests"
For this n other acts favoring the
Germans he lost his throne. Greece
is now building up a new army of
100000 men, which will probably soon
be fighting for the cause of democracy
under he leadership of the great pa
triot, Venizelos.
The Italians have increased their
forces in Albania and built excellent
communications through the noun
tains, forming a junction with Sarrail's
left and securing this end Of the Bal
kan line.
When the marshes froze there was
a sharp Russian offensive last winter
near Riga. Otherwise, the coast front
lay dormant for many months, and
during the revolution "~fraternizing"
was rife between the opposing armies.
Then the Russians, having put their
house in order, set out to show the
kaiser that free men can fight better
than slaves.
The sectors selected for attack lay
between the Pinsk marshes and the
Carpathians, the same as last summer.
Successes were scored at several
points, the prisoners by July IL num-
bering $4,000. The greatest advance
was near Stanislaus, from which city
Korniloffs men advanced across a
series of rivers, capturing Halicz and
Kalucz and sabering and ~bayoneting

joyed the allies and filled the Russians
at home with martial enthusiasm.
The Turks suffered severe defeats
In the course of the year at several
points. The British splendidly re-
trieved their reputation In Mesopo-
tamia by recapturlng Kut-el-Amara.
On March IL they took Bagdad. They
continued several scores of miles fur
Their on and also formed a junction
with the Russians northeast Of Bag
dad.
Farther north the Russians held on
to their more important gains-the
great cities of Erzerum and Trebizond,
but abandoned Mush, Armenia, and a
large city but thinly settled region to
the foe.
Near Jerusalem.
Moving out from the Suez canal
the British inflicted a severe defeat
on the Turks e Romani and then
fought their way into Palestine,
building a new railroad as they went.
A further slight advance would bring
them before Jerusalem. The Turks
apparently are preparing to abandon
the Holy City. They have also re-
moved the Jews from the seaport Of
Jaffa, treating them SO cruelty that
hundreds have died.
In Germany's sole remaining colony,
East Africa, converging columns of
British, Portuguese and French are
closing in on the remnants of the de-
Tending army and the kaiser's over
seas foundations seem lei eclipse.
All military observers expect the
war will continue through the next
winter and the new campaigns are
awaited with special Interest because
American troops will have a chance
to show their mettle on the west front.

ECONOMY

The old saying "A penny saved is
a penny earned" is true in more ways
than one; that is, to save a penny or
a dollar, you must earn it, either
by work OF head or hand-you can't
get it simply by wishing! Having
earned the penny or the dollar, it
should be yovrs to spend. Save it
then for some definite purpose, it
does not matter what, so that it is
something you want, something
worth working for. To know when
you really are saving, it is, Of course,
necessary to have some basis for
comparison. This means some sort
of system OF accounts. Then you
should have some definite division OF
income, which involves standards or
purpose in life. In a word, for what
you are living? In these days of high
prices the income must be stretched
In many cases to maintain standards
and yet make ends meet. In other
cases, ut Is not the high cost Of
living but the cost of high living"
