The city Of Saloniki had in normal
times population of about 10000
TO 10000. This has been Increased
to about 100000 through the influx of
refugees from Serbia. European Tur-
key, Bulgaria and that part Of Greek

Of Bulgaria. During the last few
years the character OF the population
has been steadily changing. The
Greek element has more than doubled
itself and at this time stands first in
numbers. Turks, formerly the most
numerous class. are now third In
rank and are steadily decreasing. The
Jewish population stands In second
place and is the most important COM

Bow Leus Saved Him.

Not every man is boastful or proud
of possessing bowed legs, but when
said crescent-shaped neither limbs have
saved him from possible serious injury
or death from an attack of vicious
butting ram, he Is apt to take a diff.
ferent view of the matter during his
after life.
A resident of Brazier, N. Y, started
across the Miller farm to go to the
cider mill on the Tannery road. When
nearly in the center of large pas.
ture an old ram started for him. The
man ran, but soon realized that he
could not make the nearest fence. AS
the next best maneuver he made for
large bowlder a few rods away.
Just as he reached the rock the ram
overlook him and with lowered head
butted through the fugitive's legs. He
hit the bowlder and crushed his skull.

KITTEN THEIR COMFORT KIT
Small Creature Murderous Huns
Must Have Overlooked Brought
Tender Thoughts to Soldiers.

AT Beuvardes, between Chateau.
Thierry and scissors, / met about five
inches of gray kitten that could tell
much if it could speak.
This kitten was the ''liaison" be-
tween the Germans who fed and the
Americans who dispossessed them. 1t
was the only creature the Americans
saw alive when they marched singing
into the town after the Germans poi
soned the wells, fired their ammunition
dumps, and sullenly departed.
The kitten, when l first saw it, was
playing about in the sun at the thres-
hold of ruined hut. The body of a
dead German sprawled at my feet, half
buried in splinters of timber. Chloride
of lime lay like drifted snow on his
chest, and in the clotted whiteness
was his briar-wood pipe, which / twice
picked up and twice put down ere de-
Gliding not to take it. The bottom of
the door of the house showed a jagged
rent, as though a rifie-butt had dashed
it in. and it was besmeared with blood.
Inside the door was mass Of
tousled straw where Boches had sta
bled. The house was dismantled. The
clothing of women lay torn and scat
tered.
The kitten crawled between the top
of my gas mask Chung in the "alerte"
position beneath my Chin, and the
brim of my "steel Stetson" and purred
like a watchman's rattle. Its eyes
grew bland and yellow as lemon can
dy behind a shop window.
While l made small talk to the kit
ten, our artillery planted to right and
left was roaring Skyward at an angle
of 80 degrees. The conclusion of the
battery threatened to lift the, miser-
able house from it's underpinnings.
The window frames jumped half an
inch at every defamation. The glass
had long ago given way to burlap or
to nothing.
And still the kitten purTed and pat

TUESDAY. DECEMBER 81. III

Two decisions have been handed
down within the last month touching
on the local option question. In this
town the election was declared invalid
because some court had held that the
words five days" were in the law on
the subject, not in black and white but
by inference. In other words the
court inserted the words. The law
said that a notice of the hearing be-
fore the township committee must be
published once in newspaper. The
Senator who introduced this law and
had it adopted says it meant just what
it said but because the words five
days" had been mentioned in other
places the court ruled that it ought to
be In the other place and ON this very
fimsy foundation the will of the peo-
pie OF Mount Holly, expressed by their
ballots, was overthrow. Then there
Yves another case. It was in Hunter
don county. There was the question
whether the sale of intoxicating liquor
as q beverage should be abolished
and the people, by a vote of 442 to
225 decided that it should not be sold.
The law governing general elections
states that advertisements must be
published and notices posted setting
forth the time, place and purpose of
holding any special or general cleo
tion- The liquor men appealed on the
ground that the township clerk had
not inserted in his advertisement the
purpose Of the election so far as the
liquor question was CONCERNED. Judge
Trenchard, who heard the case. said
there was not any provision in the
law ON local option elections requiring
special advertisement when the sub
Ject e to be voted upon at general
election, and that the sample ballots
having had the proposition on them
ne decided that the will of the ma
5ority must be respected. The fact
that the general law governing cleo
tons requiring the purpose of an cleo
ton to be advertised was not con-
sldered by Judge Trenchard. In one
case a technicality won out. In the
other it did not.
