Any further Russian advance in this
I section, it is evident, would endanger
the safety of Kovel, which is describ
ed as one of the strongest of the Teu
tonic positions along the southeastern
battle line. The Russian advance, ev
en f it progresses no further than its
present stage, has assumed such mag
nitude as to be capable of exerting
decided influence upon affairs in the

s to Austria the all-but-lost province of

‘ In Macedonia, the continued concen
, tration of Teuton troops, seems to in
dicate renewed intentions on the part
1 of the Germans and their allies to
drive the British and French armies
. out of that sector of operations. No
farward move, however, has as yet
been attempted, and it is problematical
whether the attempt will be made'
’ Along the Greek Thracian frontier
Turkish forces are concentrating, and
this threatened invasion of the Hel
lenic kingdom is being viewed here
as likely to dound to the benefit of
the Entente Allies. It has been sug
gested that a Turkish invasion o f
Greece is shortly to be inaugurated
with the intention of making good a
portion of the territorial losses sus
tained by the Ottoman empire during
the Balkan wars, and should such a
course be entered upon it would cer
tainly meet with military opposition
on the part of the Greeks.
Throughout Great Britan the gen
eral public is more concerned, seem
ingly, with the domestic crisis that has
arisen with the proposal to enforce
military service, than with rthe prog
ress of the campaign on the continent.

that body refused to accept his creden
tials and he resigned. Shortly after

Judge Clayton to succeed She late

as; judge of the district courts for the
middle district of Alabama.
A telegram sent Judge Clayton by
Washington friends early today elicit

ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 7. —In view of
Marion Jackson’s statement that “the
fight has just begun,” Atlantians are
. wondering what the next move of the
badly defeated Men and Religion lead-
I ers will be.
The next opportunity they will have
tc test their strength at the polls will
1 come in the mayoralty election next
■ summer, but as yet there has been no
1 intimation as to whether they will
have a candidate in the field or not
Atlanta stands a pretty good chance
cf ending her political family feuds for
several years to come by the election
of Mell R. Wilkinson to succeed Mayor
' Woodward at the end of Uncle Jim’s
' present term.
