But ? f j during Christmas week the Rus sians undertook a n9w offensive K * ?long the southern section of the line between the I'ripet and the 'Chester rivers. These rivers rill! east.WardlV about t.hrAO hnn. r dred mileB apart, but they conie f near being connected by water, 1< for two of their tributaries, the s Styr and the Strypa, both have o their origin near the Galician a frontier. It was on or near these t two rivers that the Austro-Ger- h man advance halted, last fall, d and since this f< rmed a good c line of defense, no serious at- t tempt has been made at a fur b ther drive eastward- The later 11 efforts of the Germans were <li- si rected towards the capture of A Rig* and Dvinsk, in the extreme e north, but in this they tailed. >1 During the last four months b the Russian army has been re- ai \ orgai zied and obtained a new \ supply of gun8 and munition, e: \ largely, it appears, of Japanese a \ manufacture. They are ^said to A 1 have 1,500,000 on this southern H section between I'insk and Czer- ui ^nowitz. lMnsk, the northern li end of this section, is in the a] swampy valley of the Pripet w River. Czernowitz is situated si on the slope of the Carpathian ei Mountains and ^nme t.wpnfv n miles south of the Dniester Riv- h sr. On the northern side of the S Dniester there are also high lands of over u thousand feet al- st titude, in the midst of which t< stands Tarnopol, on the Sereth ai z Kiver. North of Tarnopol, are A the three fortresses of Lutsk, Dubno and Rovno, designed to ii be the chief defenses of southern I g< Russia. Two of these are in the j ti hands of the Germans. Thejtl third, Kovono, they have not j tl i?een able to'take. ai This, then, is the lay of the B land in the new battletield. The ai Russians seem to be concentrat- hi ing their efforts on the southern A # I part in the attempt to make an- j tr other drive up the Dniester tojtj recapture Lzarnowitz and Lem-jtl berg as they did in the first | tl months of the war. On the north A side of the Dniester they are at- i tl tacking Buczacz on the road to cc Lemberg. On the south side of rt this river they have occupied'h the bight * \\ fiich overlook Czer- ei nowitz. The Russian army which is attempting to invade w B .lkovina is under the com- ai maud of General Ivauolf ami it it ? is rumoted that field Marshal ti en son, the conqueror of t,< Serbia, nan oeen orougnt baexig from the Balkans to oppose him. h The Russians are said to have ,j massed here 00,000 men on a jy front of lesB than a mile. After 0 a bombardment of fifry hours, in tt which 400 guns took part, t'nev began tho attack and charged the German trenches fourteen t times in one day, in spite of ap * palling losses. The Austrian t War Ofli-'.e estimates the Rua f, siati losses in the recent opera- / Otiona at 60,000. c Further north the fighting is |, no less severe. The Austrians 8 under General 1'flanzer are try ? ihg to capture Tarnopol and the h 'V/tnssians have taken the town of h czartorysk, which gives them a tt chance to advance along the rail- {road toward the important junction of Kovel. * In spite of repeated rumors of a Teutonic attack upon the A!-'t lied base at Salonica there have i been nd" evidences of such a v movement- It is indeed doubt- ' ful whether it would prove a 1 profitable enterprise, for the j French and British troops at Sa- j Ionic* are said to number over 1 200,000 and are strongly en 11 trenched in the hills about the ' , cify.

If the Bulbars and Turks should join them n the invasion of Greece tht ireeks would be quite likely t< >ake up arms in defense of Sa onic.a, which within the last our years they fought the Turkf o gain and then the Bulgars tr etain.

But by lotting things lay as they are a large body ot Jlied troops is virtually internd at Saloniea and the Hulgars lay be trusted to guard the order if they should attempt gain to advance into Serbia. What acts perhaps as a greatr deterrent still is the energetic btack of the Russians on the ustro German lines north of Rumania. If the Russians should gain occupy Bukovina and Gacia, Rumania would be very pt tc?j >in with tl em and this ould open the way for an invaon of Bulgaria from the northrn 6ide It is reported that eneral Mackensen and many of is troops have been called f:om orbia to meet this new danger.

(heece has protested ti Waehigton and the other neutral ivornmonts against the violaon of her neutrality through le occupation of Salonica bv le French and British and their rest of the German, Austrian, ulgarian and Turkish consuls & that port. Additional offense as been given to Greece by the llies in the arrest of the Ausian and German consuls at Mirlone, and by the occupation of ic Greek islands of Melon, in le Aegean, and Corfu, in the driatic. In retaliation for this le Bulgars arrested the French insul at Sofia and tried to arise the British vice-consul, but e took refuge in the American in bassy.

Lindsay?McGregor The heme of Mr. and Mrs. D. I EI. McGregor of liuby, S. C. was j the scene of a wedding of unusual beauty,when their daughter Miss Jean, became the wife of Mr. James Calvin Lindsay of Saint I'auls', N. U. on Tuesday evening, Jan. 18th at six o'clock. The ceremony room was beautiful in decorations, characteriz ed by simplicity, an arch of wnite with delicate tracery of green fern, from the center of which was suspended a large heart, making a most fitting marriage altar. The familiar I strains of Mendelsohns wedding march, beautifully rendered by Miss Tlic.ua Rowe, announced (the approach of the bridal party. I M iss McGregor accompanied by Miss Math?son of Bennettsville slowly descended the stairway, while Mr. Lindsay attended by Dr. Nash of Saint i'auls advanced to meet them. The attendants preceded the bride and groom taking their places on the right and left respectively. They were followed by Miss McGregor and Mr. Lindsay, who taking their positions immediately under the heart plighted their troth and became one. The ceremony was impressively performed by the Rev. J. R. Millard, the brides pastor. The soft radiance of many can dies, tall vases of white carnations and trailing ivy and grand pine made a setting particulary beautiful for so important an event in the lives of this deservedly popular couple. A delightful buffet luncheon was served immediately after the ceremony. Only the immediate family and a few close friends were present. Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay, amid a shower of rice and good wishes departed for parts unknown. After February they will be at home at 8aint> Pauls. N. C. Pedigreed L. S.

The making of this picture marked a distinct epoc in the history of moving pictures. This was until recently the very biggest thing in the movie world. As the plot develops from time to uiu.it; tuts picture promises DO* * come the talk of the town. The real "perils" of Pauline will begin in the next episode, from which time the audience will be .d spell-bound for about 10 ^isodes to this remavkable story. A Liberal Offer The Advertiser is offering no less than $1.50 worth of free tickets to the "Perils of Pauline" in connection with one one year's subscription to this paper. This ought especially to interest amusement lovers who also read the home paper. This is a very good time to pay up as arrearages will not be carried through the summer. A Pioneer Susie, aged 4, called one morning, on the neighbor lady across the way. "Mamma's gone, and Hannah's the boss now," she said. No comment being made, she went on: "Say, llannah can spank harder'n mamma can, too." "Oh," sympathized the ladv, "i didn't know that." "No," answered Susie complacently and with pity for the neighbor's ignorance, "I was the first one to find it out." "Well, well," thought the elevator, a-; a qu*?cr customer came along. "1 wonder what's get- ^ ting into me." t \ j Many men do not know them- \ \ selves because all who know \ V them lack the moral courage to I ^ tell them what they know.
