NO VEMB ER 25, 1915 SANDERS & CREECH The War Summary The, Kaiser has gone to the i3allcans to lead his armies, and' incidentally to meet hie master, Kitchener, The fun force of the war for the presaent is in the Balkans, The Allies during the week have been bringing pressure to bear upon Greece to gain her de- mands, but King Constantine lacks the ability to be "constant", and it is etill doubtful which: way Greece will go. She claime the desire to remain neu- tral, and undoubtedly the Allies would be content if she would do so, out like Bulgaria she is 'too tricky to be trust- ed ,and Roumania is not far from be- ing in the same class, On the Russian, French and •ital- iau fronts everything is going favor- ably for the Allies. In the 'Balkans alone things might be better; but it takes a little time, and time is all that they teed. A new offensive is being made on the Gallipoli peninsula, A German dreadnaught was sunk by a mine in the Baltic, The destruction of a munition plait near Parry Sound marks an effort of the enemy in Canada to delay the making of war material. The very last news `from the Bat - taw, state that the Allies have made a satisfactory agreement with Greece. And also that Roumania wilt remain neutral TAMAN'S PHONE 81a Shop Early lor Cbrislmas Goods_ —A• THE EARLY BUYER GETS THE CHOICE GOODS AT THE CHRISTMAS SEASON. WE HAVE THE CHOICEST LINES OF NEGV;.
