What is called the neutral zone
of the Dardanelles is the waterway
between the Mediterranean and the
Black sea, with Constantinople under
British control at one end, Chahak at
the other end, heavily garrisoned with
British troops behind three lines of
trenches and barbed wire entangle-
ments, big guns from the British for
tress at Malta stationed at all the
strong points, and the whole British
Atlantic fleet of dreadnaughts dis
trfbuted at intervals from one end to
the other. 1t seems to be neutral
only as regards the Turks.

the ''women's hotels" which were
erected during the war to accommo-
date women clerks, and which still
house over two thousand women, and
devote the space in the hotels to the

roads bureau, and general accounting
office, now all in rented quarters. It
seems strange that all this cannot be
done without the aid of congress.

SHORTAGE in PANTS SUPPLY

ing eight miles to see his best girl.
On the occasion of one visit heavy
snowstorm swept the prairie, and the
young man found it necessary to re-:
main until morning. He slept in an
outside" room, the space between the
logs being untitled. The old-fashioned
feather bed with wool blankets pro-
teeted him from the zero weather.
1t SO happened that the young man
wore the style at that date, 5nckskin
pants. Thoughtlessly on retiring he
laid his pants on top OF the bed
clothes. A coyote or wolf crawled
through the cracks between the logs
in the night and carried his pants
away. The theft was revealed when
the young man Was called for break
fast, and TO cap the climax, not an
extra pair of pants was to be had.
The young man was forced to stay In
; bed and send a boy eight miles to his
home for pants. There was only one

! father Thus the father had 70 go to
