While the Aviona position is hardly favorable for an offensive movement, he says, the expedition may be regarded as the starting point of operations on a large scale. The Salonica correspondent of the Was Agoncy says that in the course the fighting during the Franco- British retirement from Gievgeli (Serbia) toward Salonica the Bulgar- jans captured two French machine guns and two batteries of British ar- tllery, as well as 200 British prison- ors.” BSALONICA, Dec. 17.—The Bulgar- jan troops continue to hold their lines about two miles from the Greek fron- tier and show no intention of cross- ing, according to despatches received here to-day.

You know as well as I what a large part sex plays in erlme—and if children learned about it from high-minded teachers instead of by the haphazard information im- parted by the least desirable among their companions it would be a very healthful thing. I believe that the preoccupation of the human race with sex is wrong.
