DECEMBER 2, 1915 SANDERS & CREECH The War Summary The condition in the Balkan Stat- es has somewhat improved for the Allies; during the week, in spite of the face that the German campaign in Serbia has been a severe one to the brave Serbs, who have lost much 01 their territory but have kept *.heir armlet intact, with the exception of the losses in killed and wounded. The prisoners taken by the Germans have been comparatively few. Greece has eonceded much to the Allies but the King is stir ,wavering„ he being much afraid of his savage brother -In-law, the Kaiser Roumania is turning daily more ,to the side of the Allies and it is ex- pectea that she will allow the Rus- sian armies to pass through hex ter- ritory while it is definitelY known that she has refused to allow the Germans and Austrians to do so. Allied troops are landing, at Salon- ika and other points in large numbers and an extensive campaign is being planned. le the meantime the Italians ;re making the campaigna warm one for the Austrians, while the Russians are said to have congregated no less than seven millions of men and large quantities of munitions in the battle line on the east, and, here the great winter campaign will be waged, The ,engagements on the western front are principally artillery duels TAMAN'S PHONE 81a Shah Early br CliristIllas Goods_ THE EARLY BUYER GETS THE CHOICE GOODS AT THE CHRISTMAS SEASON.

Only a small portion of Africa is sstilt undet German rule, and this the Boer; are planning to capture. The seas. everywhere are in almost undisputed possession of the Allies. Only by brute force and prepared ness has the Kaiser accomplished. ,sny- thing and that is only territory sur- rounding the empire itself. But steadily a band of iron is encircling hie war machine, and slowly it is being strangled.

They leave school many of them, m their early or middle teens as; soon as they are able to get a position as clerk in some store or office under the impression that they are wasting time by remaining in school. 'The average boy thinks that if he gets some busi- nese position that will enable him to earn a few dollars a month, ,vhile his chun• sticks to school three br four years longer, he has just so many years the start of the boy who re- mains in school. Now, the real facts in this case are that the reverse of this is the truth. The boy who re- mains in school and acquires a thoro education lays a foundation that will surely,; other, things being equal, en- able hint to ,pass his classmate who left school three or four yearsearlier.

Since the loan has been so liberal- ly subscribed the Government is eon- steering the question of increasing it.
