trip alon the flghtlnr line. He give, an
interesting- word picture of the condition
he found there. Hla impreaelona will be

suhjoined article la the first. .
SALONIKI. Dec. t. There is one
thins that may be said for this war. It
Is teaching us a lot about geography.
Names that formerly meant nothing
now figure dally in tb. war commu
niques and the numerous war maps that
appear in the papers make us familiar
with districts .which formerly were
most vague.
Names like Macedonia. Thessalonica,
Monastir and the Vardar. which a few
months ago conveyed nothing definite
to most of us. now begin to locate
themselves in relation to other and bet
ter known places.
Amirs From Distant Lands.
From nearly every home in Europe
men who have never traveled beyond
their own neighborhoods, now are go
ing to distant lands to fight in stranger
surroundings avainst people of whom
they had hardly ever heard before.
Just now here in Macedonia there are
thousands of French and British sol
diers who last year knew nothing of
places over the teas, and yet who now
ran talk familiarly of their experiences
In Belgium, Flanders, the Dardanelles
and Serbia. They are learning a lot of
seosraphy. which will be useful If they
succeed in living long enough to tell
about it. .
Last week I went up to the French
and British fronts on the Bulgarian
boundary line. Here I found the faces
and uniforms and motors and wagons
with which I was familiar In France,
but there was an entirely new setting
of scenery.
Men Are Pa was f Battle.
There were muddy little Macedonian
Tillages with domes and minarets.
There were great somber snow-flecked
mountain ranges, from tho crests of
which screaming, shells flew back and
forth.
There were steep. holly-covered
slopes, honeycombed with holes, where
the steel-casqurd Frenchmen crept to
escape the bitter cold of those wind
swept heights.
I'm sure they thought longingly of
the trim farms and villages of France,
yet here they were, far from home,
amid surroundings remotely strange,
doing their Job of fighting and suffer
ing with cheerful stoicism.
They are the pawns of battle being
lifted from France to Flanders, from
Flanders to the Dardanelles, from the
Dardanelles to Saloniki. from Saloniki
to the Bulgarian boundary, and now
nuite likely being prepared for another
. transfer over dangerous seas to some
new field of warfare. For It now seems
possible that the allies may abandon
their Balkan campaign and center their
efforts elsewhere.
Serbia lst tn Allies.
Serbia is lost all except a precarious
little fringe along the southern border.
The Serbian army has been driven off
into Albania, losing artillery and many
thousands of its men. The government
hus traveled single file over the lofty
trails to Scutari, and the population is
now largely within the sentry lines of
"the invaders.
Some of the wealthier classes have
made their way to Saloniki; some oth
ers have gone off through the inhos
pitable fastnesses of Albania, but the
nation as a whole has been lost. The
allies came too late and aa a conse
quence there now are many Serbians
wln think of them as resentfully as
thev do of the Austrians and Germans.
In a little hotel at Gievelu. the only
town of even secondary importance left
to the Serbs. I saw a wealthy Serbian
woman waiting on the table. Her prop
erty is all in Belgrade. Sbe said the
Hermans were now giving Ti francs
for the Serbian 10-dinar note, compared
with the 4 francs given by the Greeks.
Ftv means of this liberal exchange the
terbs were being partly mollified.
Trains Ran te Constantinople.
When 1 went up to the British and
French fort I took the daily Constan
tinople train from Saloniki.- It Is a
urprlrine; fact that a daily train leave
here for Bulgaria and Turkey and that
passengers go back and forth with con
siderable freedom.
Tn th- party were eight other news
paper men and a French officer. It was
a personally conducted party to the
In four hours from Saloniki the
train stopped at Doiran. the British
base, and It was noticeable that among
the passengers were many who looked
like Germans or Bulgarians or Turka
and who observed with eager interest
the activities of the British near the
station.'
It Illustrated one of the amazing in
congruities of this extraordinary situ
ation. , "
Greece Is still neutral, and Germans
may travel about, observe the allies'
military preparations, and then pro
ceed comfortably over by train into
Turkey or Bulgaria without being con
sidered as spies.
Motors were to have met us at Doi
rar.. but due to some mistake they
were not there. Instead we climbed
into a motor lorry loaded wltb hay and
started along the road which borders
the laka for a few miles on the south
western side.
From the water edge the moun
tains leap up to great heights t;ray.
snow-capped somber ranses. which in
dicated the grim difficulties which
armies must surmount in such a for
bidding region.
Natives Hunt Doe-La,
Flocks of ducks were on the lake
and from the little thatched huts built
among the acres of reeds at the edges,
nativvs were killing the ducks by
means of slings. Shooting Is not al
lowed, but the natives have become ex
pert in using their primitive weapon.
The road was good. Streams of sup
ply wagons were slowly moving out
with hay for the horses, food for the
men, and ammunition for the guns of
the British soldiers.
Somewhere in front was a narrow
line of men holding a trench and man
ning some batteries. And Just to keep
this narrow line in working order there
were factories working In England,
ships hurrying across dangerous seas.
trains working day and night trans-Dortina-
materials, horses, mules and
motors struggling and tolling over dif
ficult mountain roads whole armies
of noncombatants slaving to keep the
fighting line intact. I was struck by
the overwhelming magnitude of this
busitfess of war.
Ox carts, loaded with the meager oe-
longings of refugees, came plodding in
ward from the danger aone aneaa oia
women gukling the oxen, little children
running alongside, and babies perched
upon the heaps of household effects.
In one direction the hurrying trains
of ammunition and supplies, in the
other, the homeless creatures fleeing
to the uncertain safety of Greece.
After an hour's ride on the motor
lorry. It reached its destination a
roadside base heaped high with moun
tains of food, towering piles of hay,
and orderly masses of ammunition.
Here we waited until two small motor
cars and an automobile ambulance came
and picked us up.
Valley Full of Activity.
winding- un and down mountain
roads, fording streams that were be
ing bridged by engineers, passing base
hospitals, we came out on the level of
a broad valley the valley of Valan-
dova. dotted with camps, cluttered with
horses and wagons ana wun me far
ther slopes dotted with the caves which
the soldiers have dug.
As we ascended a zigzag road rising
from the level of the valley, the heads
of French soldiers would pop out of
the holes and wave as we snouiea to
them. The day Vas not cold, but we
knew by the hospital reports how ter
ribly they had suffered only a few
days before.
A inrtar in the French medical corps
at Strumnitxa Station told me that 4000
men afflicted with frostbite or pneu
monia had been sent down to Salonlki.
This was the ffceord of a very few days.
No wonder the allies want to aoanaon
these bitterly cold mountains before
the Winter sets in in earnest!

Senator Turns Tables on
Colleague From Oregon.
Kenyan Makea Peppery Retort to
Lane, Whose Failure to See Any
thing Serlona in Lack of Quorum
applies Opportunity.
0RKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Jan. 16. Senator Lane, of
Oregon, has a habit of Injecting terse
comment into the speeches of other
Senators, a habit which some Senators
do not approve. The other day, when
Senator Kenyon was talking on i.m
Philippines and was expounding the
great abilities of -the Filipino people,
he said that there was always a quorum
in the Philippine assembly.
"I have seen times in this. Senate
when we could not keep a quorum."
Senator Kenyon remarked sadly, doubt
less due to the fact that only a hand
ful of Senators were listening to his
speech.
"1 do not think the lack of a quorum
is any great outrage." interpolated Sen
ator Lane.
"I am sure the Senator from Oreson
in addressing the Semite never has any
troublo about a quorum." came back
Kenycn, with his bet satire.
Senalor Lane did not reply. The
honors were tven.
WILSON IS NOT FAVORABLE
Setting of Date for Withdrawal by
America Also Urged Jn Senate,
With Mr. Polndexter Op
posing Independence.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 17. America's
duty to the Philippines was debated
from all angles in the Senate today.
Several Democratic Senators declared
in favor of setting a date for ultimate
withdrawals from the Islands and their
neutralization by international agree
ment Senator Polndexter. Republican,
argued for their permanent retention.
The discussion centered on an amend
ment to the pending bill, offered by
Senator Clarke, of Arkansas, propos
ing that the United States withdraw
from the Philippines within two years
and guarantee their integrity pending
the negotiation of a- five-year agree
ment with all nations for their inde
pendence. Members of the Philippines commit
tee disclosed that they had talked over
the possibility of international neu
tralization and had passed it over as
a matter with which the foreign rela
tions committee should deal.
Senator Shafroth, author of a reso
lution authorizing the President to
begin such negotiations, said he ex
pected to appear before the latter com
mittee soon.
Senator Stone, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, said he fa
vored an amendment to the bill along
the lines suggested by Senator Clarke,
but which would have the term of the
treaty at least 20 years.
Senator Poindexter declared the
American people had passed on the
question of granting independence sev
eral times and always had opposed it
He read extractsfrom the Democratic
platforms of 1904. 1908 and 1912 de
claring for Philippine independence. On
each occasion, he said, the majority
vote had been cast against that plat
form. Within a few months after In
dependence had been granted, he de
clared, the islands would be torn by
revolutions and a dozen small states
would arise within the group, all at
war with each other. He said the
proposal to neutralize the group meant
to place a war burden on future gen
erations In the United States, and that
the United States would be In the best
position to wage the fight if It had
its Navy and aeroplane bases in the
Philippines and control of the situation
there.
Chairman Hitchcock, of the Philip
pines committee, after a call at the
White House during the day, said the
President did not favor the Clarke reso
lution. SURETY FIRMS PROTEST
PROPOSED POSTAL LEGISLATION IS
OPPOSED.
Plan to Deprive Companies of Bonding
Poatofflee Employes la Fonght
Before Home Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. Efforts of
Daniel C. Roper, First Assistant Postmaster-General,
to obtain legislation
which would deprive surety com
panies of the bonding of postal em
ployes brought vehement protest from
representatives of several companies
at a public hearing today before the
House nostoffice committee.
Spokesmen tor the American Surety
Company, which was declared by Mr.
Roper in a report to the committee,
to control a great part of the screen
wagon bonding houses, defended their
business practices and denied that the
surety business was controlled by a
"ring." They admitted that the rates
were set for all companies by the
Towner Rating Bureau of New York,
but contended the plan was necessary
to save the companies from bank
ruptcy and was approved by all state
insurance Inspectors.
In defense of the American Surety
Company's policy of refusing to bond
certain bidders for screen-wagon
work whose figures were considered
too low, H. V. Finley. the company's
Washington agent, insisted that this
course saved the Government money by
preventing the making of contracts
which would not be carried out.
FORD PUNS ARE HALTED
GERMANS BAR MOVE TO STOCK
HOLM AS HEADQUARTERS.
Members, After Selecting Swedlsk Cap
ital, Say They May Remain at
xThe Hague Indefinitely.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, via Lon
don, Jan. 17. Germany's refusal to per
mit members of the Ford permanent
peace board to travel through German
territory to Scandinavia has tempora
rily halted the board's peace plans. The
members today selected Stockholm for
the regular meeting place, but so far
appeals to the German Minister to The
Hague and also to the Berlin Foreign
Office Tor permission to cross Germany
have been denied.
As a result the members say they will
remain at The Hague and wait indefi
nitely if necessary.
Stockholm was selected because it
was thought to be well removed from
the vicinity of belligerent countries.
Dr. Charles F. Aked and Madame
Rosika Schwimmer said today that it
would be many weeks before the board
is sufficiently organized to enable it to
do anything more than preliminary
work.
MEXICAN FEELING BETTER
American Merchant of Vera Crux
Tells How Change Has Come.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. "Drastic
measures adopted to prevent the spread
of tvphus fever in Mexico City and its
environs are having their effect and
the disease, while not checked, is cer
tainly being minimized." remarked A.
B Hapgood. an American merchant, of
Vera Crux, at the Raleigh. "Public and
private structures were ordered
cleaned and a special police patrol of
ISO insrectjia and a. corps of pysi-
cians has been organized. Regulation
of saloons has been ordered and alco
holic liquors have been restricted in
their sale. The dread of infection is
so great that the authorities have for
bidden officials to shake hands with
visitors. This comes rather hard, for
handshaking is one of the easiest
things they do in Mexico. There have
been various estimates of the number
of deaths due to typhus and they run
all the waV up to 60,000. Be that as
it may. the disease has gained a foot
hold and is one of the most difficult
problems the new government has to
deal with in this reconstruction period.
"There is a feeling of optimism
among Mexicans that Carranza will be
able to bring order out of chaos and
while there are many skeptics who be
lieve that the new head of Mexico is
not strong enough to cope with "the
situation, it is undoubtedly true that

States."

the Nyatt road near where Dr. C.
Franklin Mohr was shot and killed and

was seriously wounded on the night
of August 31, 1915, failed today.
The state introduced two witnesses
who were unable to say whether Brown
and Spellman. the two negroes on trial
with Mrs. Elizabeth F. Mohr, charged
with the murder of the doctor, were
the ones they had seen.
Th state also failed in its effort to
show that Mrs. Mohr, who they allege
hired the negroes to do the shooting,
bought for them the motorcycle on
which the prosecution contends Brown
and Spellman fled after the shooting.
That Brown and Spellman were to
gether on the day of the murder and
that they had a talk with George W.

Mohr, was brought out in the testimony
of Mrs. Ida Irene Brown, Victor Brown's
aunt. Healis, who was also indicted
for murder, afterwards was allowed
to plead nolle contendre to a charge
of manslaughter.
