No change of importance has been recorded for some days past in the western arena, where Flanders is still the scene of heavy fighting. In spite of adverse weather conditions ana flooded trenches the Germans appear to be holding their positions, from which, at intervals, they launch the attacks for which the territory from the Belgian coast to Arras has be- come famous. Warships Off Coast. The allied warships are still off the coast, hurling shells inland when opportunity offers. The Belgian army remains in the region where the floods have been the worst, and some despatches say that in certain places they have been fighting from small boats. Having for the time being thrown back the Russian advance toward the German frontier of Posen, Gen. Von Hindenburg is the hero of the hour in Berlin. There is much criticism in Berlin of the German retreat from Warsaw, but the German center promises to retrieve the situation just as the allies retrieved them- selves almost at the gates of Paris. The German wedge from Posen would appear to have driven the Russian center more than fifty miles back from the frontier, so that the line is now about midway between German territory and Warsaw. Else- where along the great eastern front the Russians, where they are not progressing, seem to be holding their own. Lord Roberts Buried.

There were only two contributors of §$100 or over, according to the statement, these be- ing Judge B. F. Gaffney, §$105, and Registrar Thomas J. Smith, $100.

Bridgeport, Nov. 19.—The inves- tigation of the killing of Steve Mol- mar, whose charred body was found on the mud flats in the west end of the city on November 6, and who it was shown by an autopsy had been shot to death, was continued by the police today, on the theory that the man had been slain elsewhere and that the body had then been taken to | the place where it was found and an | attempt made to burn it. John Kerokas, a boarder at the Molmar home is being held at police headquarters without bail pending the outcome of the investigation. Mrs. Molmar who was arrested last night, interrogated and later released, will be re-arrested, it was intimated by the police today and will be subject- ed to rigid questioning.

(New York World) After a prolonged study of the eles- tion returns, Mr. Roosevelt makes the formal announcement that *I am a private of the privatest kind.” Had Mr. Roosevelt on March 4, 1909, resolved to become a private of the privatest kind, he would prob. ably be today the most powerful po ical force in the country instead of the discredited leader of a serio-com- ic party. He could have done what Jefferson did, and for sixteen years after Jef- principles, policies and personalities governed the United States. Yet Jef- ferson sought no third wrecked no party tv of his opponents. a candidate for no office. He made no speeches. He wore none of the trappings of command, but H ance as a private was hardly less than his influence as president, because all men knew that his motives were dis- interested. If Jefferson after making Madison president, as Roosevelt made Taft president, had then undertaken to de- stroy Madison and had finally headed a third-term party in a third-term | dash for the White House, Jefferson | | undoubtedly T would have fared no better in the fi- | nal court of public opinion than | Roosevelt has fared. With the excepticn of Jackson, | Roosevelt had the greatest popular | following of any President since Jef- | ferson, but he lacked what each of his | two great predecessors had in abund- ance—the sense to feel the psycho- logical moment for taking off the shoulder-straps *and becoming a pri- vate. Mr. Roosevelt's political fortunes are now at their lowest ebb. Not since he became governor of New York has he occupied so little space in national affairs. It is not possible that he can ever recover all the influence that he threw away when he allowed personal ambition to tempt him into becoming a thrid-term candidate, but he could cover much of the prestige he has lost if he convinced | the country that he was really “a pri- vate of the privatest kind.” The way to do that is to renounce a third term once and for all and mage himself an independent, disin- terested adviser of the American peo- ple. They are quick to recognize such service, as Har on and Cleveland both discovered after they had left the White House. As a third-term candidate for president, Mr. Roosevelt | | relief of the i to you will | —tittle, devastations of the present war, and more particularly with pity for the little children who have been made fatherless and the aged men and women who have been made home- less, the women of Anchorage have organized an association to afford them some measure of relief. The suggestion was made, and acted upon with enthusiasm, that the Christmas spirit could this year be shown by foregoing the exchange of presents among themselves and friends and taking the money so used ordinarily in this way for the purchase of food and clothing for these destitute peo- ple. In Anchorage a very simpie or- ganization has been effected, consist- ing of a president, secretary and treasurer and a committee of public- ity. The purpose of the organization will be made known throughout the community—everybody being invited to waive the giving of Christmas pres- ents, except to children and de- pendents, and thus contribute to the Belgians, whose needs are so pressing and so pitiful. Among the individuals a simple card will be sent, saying, My Christmas gift this year go to the suf- fering children and the aged Bel- gians. Will you not also join me in giving Christmas cheer where it is so needed?” The idea b simple and so promising of success and, withal, s0 in keeping with Christmas that the Anchorage society hope it will be fol- lowed in other place The people of the United States are but just beginning to be aroused to the truth that between six and seven millions of human beings of Belgium noble, heroic, unoffending Jelgium—are in dire want and im- minent peril of starvation.
