but Are Driven
Out

PARIS, Jan. 21.-The War Office is
sued an official statement tonight Civ
ing the details of an attack by the
Bulgarians west of the Vardar River
in Macedonia, in which Greek troops
performed brilliantly in repclling the
enemy. The statement says:
About 2 o'clock on the morning of
January 20, after violent artillery
preparation, the enemy delivered
against our positions west of the Var
dar, north of Lumnica and west of
Srka di Legen, a series Of attacks
which completely failed. At only one
point was the enemy able to enter our
trenches, which had been entirely de-
molished. but he was driven out i'm
mediately by a vigorous counter at
tack on the part of the Hellenic troops,
whose bearing was particularly brill
iant"

Decides Porto Rico
Is Not a Territory
Supreme Court Reverses DEGREES
Interpreted From Jones Act

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.--Porto
Rican DEGREES holding that island to
be an organized incorporated territory
of the United States. with the Federal
Constitution in full force there, were
to-day reversed by the Supreme Court.
The lower courts held that the pas
sage of the Jones act by Congress,
granting American citizenship to Porto
Ricans, was the final act incorporating
that insular possession in the United
States as an organized territory Rep
resentatives of the island government
contended that, despite the grant of
American citizenship, the Jones act
purposely avoided stipulating that the
whole of the Federal Constitution was
applicable there.
The proceedings resulted from the
release OF Carlos Tapia and Jose
Murattl, charged with murder, the
lower court holding that under the
Constitution they could not be held for
trial except under indictments.

New Passports to
Prevent Counterfeiting
Spreadeagle Style Gives Way to
Brief, Carefully Contrived
Document

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2f.--Thc time
honored old American passport, with
its vast expansc Of parchment paper,
headed by an American spread eagle
with talons full Of javellns, mas at last
given way to modern and convenient
document. Except in the case of per-
sons travelling in the Western con-
tincnts, the old passports will not be
issued. Travellers bound to Europe and
Asia must in every case take out new
passports.
The first consideration in designing
the new passport was protection
against countcrfciting and abuse. 1t is
printed on a distinctive paper made es-
pecially for the purpose, which is of q
ue-gray cast, by reason of the fact
that the whole face is covered as q
background with microscopic rcpcti-
tions of the words "United States"
Convenience was another object, and
that is served by reducing the size of
the passport to just one-half of its old
proportions.

wonder if the relatives Of that
young girl could understand how
cruel they are to her in their kind
ness?
1t seems to be a rule Of nature
that the more handicaps she
loads upon a person, the more in
domitable and eager is the spirit
she implants.
The lame, the deaf, the halt
and the blind are never content to
be taken care of. They burn to
prove to themselves and to the
world that they can go as fast
and as far as their more fortu-
nately endowed companions, and
even a shade faster and farther.
And the joy they take in ac-
cOmplishment is correspondingly
more keen. Michael Angelo new
er gazed upon one Of his master
pieces with prouder satisfaction
than does the arnless wonder
upon the signature he has so la
boriously taught himself to write
with his toes.
The loafer is always a full
sized, able-bodied person with a
host of imaginary complaints; the
cripple, making light of his real
disabilities, continually strains at
his leash.
Is the yearning Of this little
girl for independence and happi-
ness to be denied through the
mistaken compassion of her peo-
pie? Would they stifle her spirit
and transform her into a moping,
fretful woman, old before her
time?
Wiser than they, the State Of
New Jersey forces every one Of
its citizens to go to work. know
ing that thereby she is comforting
upon them their greatest boon.
