tries of our city
In the year 1911 a Ladies' Memorial
ASSOCIATION was organized with fifty
members.
Only the old residents can remem-
per in what condition the place
where our loved ones sleep was at
that time, but with the membership
lees we were able to have il all
cleaned up and to hire a man for the
first year to care for the entire cemc-
terry, including private lots and sue
ceeded in getting it in fine shape.
For several years we endeavored TO
keep it all in good condition ard did
so as far as possible with the small
number of members that remained
faithful.
An appropriation was made by the
city to care for both cemeteries and
the city park. 1t was then suggested
by Mayor Cox that the ladies let the
city take up and carry on the work
as it was matter that should be tax
en- care of by the city.
The association had charge of the
old cemetery only and as president CT
the association would like to suggest
that an association be organized for
the Improvement of the new Roselawn
cemetery
Our association will be glad 10 take
up the work again in the old cemetery
if we can get the cooperation of the
people and city authorities.

L. NJ. Hollingsworth tells story of
the way Il cliff swallow treated Il blue
bird who had stolen its nest;
while making my home with
grandmother, an uncle told me the
following incident in the life of the
cliff swallows. One spring, on re-.
turning 10 their old home under the
caves, a pair of the swallows found
their nest already in possession of a
pair of earlier blue birds They tried
in vain to drive them out. At last
they called council of war in which
the whole company Joined. After
reaching n decision, they formed n
constant line of swallows from the
horse pond to the nest each carrying
little pellet Of mud. Each one built
his pellet into the mouth Of the nest
until they had the blue bird that held
the nest walled up within 1t. The
nest afterward became dlslodged and
fell with the carcass Of the blue bird
still within 1t. The bird had died Ii

ALBANIA IS NOW
VITAL WAR ARENA
PRESENT ALLIED OFFENSIVE IN
THIS SECTION TO HAVE IN.
TEREsTINe POSSIBILITIES.
AMERICAN SECTORS ARE QUIET
Allied Plans for Russia Are Changed
by Recent Successes Of czechs-
SIovaks.

For the moment the eyes OF the
allied world are turned away from the
battle front in France, where the
Germans are believed to be preparing
for a resumption OF their offensive
against the positions held by the sol.
diers OF the entente nations. The
most vital area in the various thea
tiers OF the war Is in Albania, where
the French and Italians are continu-
ing their success against the Aus
trians.
While 1t Is not expected that far
reaching results will be brought about
by the offensive in this section of the
world, the movement has in 1t pos
sibilities which seem interesting. The
rapid progress made by the French
and italians, the probability that tho
Austro Bulgar line to the east past
Lake Ochrida may be outnanked and
the possibility that an offensive may
be launched along the Salonica front
tend to give the events in Albania
some Importance at time when the
main battle area Is quiet.
There have been indications re.
Gently that an offensive might be be-
gun in Macedonia, II for no other rea-
son than to draw Austrian, and pos
sibly German troops from Italy and
France. 1t Is reported that the Bu..
garians are war-weary and that
powerful blow along the front north
OF Saloniki might bring about not
able military and political results.
There have been no events OF an
unusual character along the Ameri
can-held sectors OF the line, except
at Chateau-Thierry, where American
aviators have been active. One squad,
ron has penetrated far behind the
German lines.
The remarkable success OF the Gee
cho-Slovak legions in re-establishing
law and order in Siberia and In over.
coming armed opposition from former
German and Austrian prisoners Of
war has had the effect of suspending
the preparation of plans by the en-
tente powers and the United States
for the organization of an interna-
tional military force to campaign in
Siberia.
