Under present conditions it would be impossible for Russia to send ftroops to the assistance of the sorely- jpressed Servians unless she trans- orted them by water from Arch- angel, in the far north, around almost the whole continent of Europe, or else invaded neutral territory. With the Dardanelles closed to her, her only alternative would be to send troops across Rumania or Bulgaria.

The action of the forts in firing on a launch of the cruiser as it was trying to enter the harbor to arrange for the Tennessce | to follow is glven as the cause of the threat. There had been reports that British, French and Russian resi- | dents at Smyrna and the surrounding region have been illtreated and that the authorities were threatening to put many of them to death in re- . prisal for attacks by the allies on | . ests. Turkey. Protection of these foreign-[ ers as well as Americans is said to have been the purpose of the Ten- nessee’s trip to Smyrna. The garrison at Smyrna at present consists of 33.- 000 Turkish soldiers. It was believad that the harbor of Smyrna was minel and that the Tennessee would run = grave risk if she atempted to go in. Secretary of the Navy Daniels sald that the Tennessee had not been ‘ordered to go into Smyrna harbor: that the commanders of both Ten- nessee and her sister ship, the North Carolina, had only general instruc- ; tidns to remain in Mediterranean wa- ters and look out for American inter- He was satisfied that neither of the commanders would take any R i bessonte st , M.

One of the most impressive object lessons in municipal map making 13 afforded by the cow-trailed topogra- phy of Boston. Her crooked streets have become a distinction. Her na row roadways are a perennial source ; of publicity. It is only in a remote degree, therefore, that Boston can be used as a traffic example for towns with full sized highways Nevertheless, the thing that is test- ed out in the Boston crucible may in time be found to have attractions for | other cities. Just now she is increas- ing the number of her one-w: streets. On the one-way street the traffic current all rolls one way. The entire street may not be given up to the innovation, but certain districts and sections are governed by it. The plan has been on trial for some time. It has given so much satisfaction that the street commissioners now propose adding sections of a half dozen streets to the one-way quota. The early op- position was very strong, but the re- striction seems to have worked out in a satisfactory manner. One of the | Boston newspapers comments edi- torially on the one-way plan in this fashion: “Experience has proved it to be the lesser of two evils. Traffic util- izes street surface to immeasurably | better advantage if it all moves in one direction, and in the crowded condi- tions here we shall have to utilize such principles to a still greater degree ! pressure increases. We may have to | route our sidewalk traffic on the same | basi It isn’t at all probable that the larg municipalities will turn to Boston for street traffic suggestions, yet the reg- ulation and safeguarding of the streets has become one of the leading municipal problem: a problem which demands ere restrictions and constant espionage. In view this the Boston experiment becomes interesting, and may even offer an example worthy of imitation if com- stantly increasing traffic pressure finds no simpler relief. of There is a renewed demand for the | teaching of Spanish in the public schools,in order that this country may | be in a position to make an intelligent ! ana effective attempt to capture the trade of South America. It is a rea- sonable demand and steps should be taken to include this course in the curriculum of many institutions as a legitmate aid to trade efficiency Ansonia Sentinel, i ance {ing at the down i trustee.

Petrograd, Nov. 19, via London 1.45 p. m.—The German advance in considerable force along the narrow battle front on the west bank of the River Vistula, is regarded by Rua- sian military observers as a feint at the city of Warsaw, the intention of which is to draw Russian troops from their advance upon Cracow and dis- tract attention from the efforts of the Germans to establish a strongly for- tified defensive line from Kalisz io Cracow. This plan also is calculated by the military authorities to relieve the German troops in East Prussia, now giving way along the entire line, by rendering a Russian further advance untenable. Despite this German demonstration the converging lines of the Russian advance on the Austrian | forces of Cracow are steadily progress- ing, the Russlans say, having now reached within twenty-five miles of that point. The Austrians are stubbornly con- testing the Russian offensive and are taking advantage of very creek and hillock in any way available for de- fense, but the Russian columns in south Poland already have traversed the last river between them and the fortress of Cracow. The Russian troops form two fronts, one facing Cracow and the other fac- ing the Carpathian Mountains, where yesterday they re-occupied the ap- proaches to two of the most import- ant passes into Hungary.
