M*w C__nctirtfc Despite the effort of Russia to cheek the Teutons, Maekensen's forces pushed on in Roumania until Bukharest, the former capi C a JIlapMlOlS tul, was occupied; its investment seemed a signal for King Constantine’s so I diet's in Greece to wreak vengeance on the followers Of the Week of former Greek Premier Venlzelos; excitement prevailed at Saloniki, Greece, the military base of the allies. The British cabi net crisis came to a head, and Asquith resigned as premier; the king asked Idoyd-George to construct a new cabinet with him self as premier. The British navy also underwent a change when Sir David Beatty was given command of the fleet to succeed Admiral Jellicoe, who became first sea lord of the admiralty. Henry van Dyke’s resignation as American minister to the Netherlands came as a surprise; John W. Garrett, former minister to Argentina, will probably get the post. New York gave a royal reception to its crack regiment, the Seventh, returning from the border. SOUTH SIDE. (Mrs. Lulu Thornton, Correspondent) Mrs. W. M. H.

SOUTHERN WHITES RETARDS PROGRESS (Continued From First Page) Negroes Deserve Assistance. “The freed Negroes are in sore need of all the aid the other class can give them. Their efforts challenge all to closest sympathy. Ten million of them are going to dwell with us for a long time and the south should have realized this and taken a differ ent attitude. In the south they will tell you that the reason why they have juvenile courts, associated char ities and why the chain gang is re tained lies in the race dogma. “Misregeneration is chiefly the white man’s fault. The discrimina tion against Negroes on southern railways is inexcusable. They are treated unjustly in the courts. If the white people themselves can be en lightened with the Negroes the solu tion of the race question in the Bouth lies ahead.” In answering a question later, Dr. Howard admitted that most writers declare that there is a potential dif ference in races. He called this be lief a “peculiar psychology” and said that the perusal of works of careful writers will convince anybody that the burden of proof lies with the man declaring that there is potential in equality. Dr. A. L. Weatherly, who presided, announced that next Sunday evening the commission manager form of gov ernment will be discussed before the forum by Don L. Love and other speakers. — SHOP NOTES FROM BURGESS-NASH Miss Sturgeon. A little crocheting cotton, a fair amount of industry and one of the new combination Turkish towels will make a practical and attractive Christ mas gift. When is a Christmas present not a Christmas present? When it is not tied with a saucy ribbon bow. The new' holiday ribbon is very attractive. Here’s a boy's hobby horse—take off the saddle, put up the sides and it forms a play table for little sister. Just one of those new combination toys. Blouses in soft shades of pink, yel low and blue, exquisitely embroidered in beads are finding favor with the women who desire frilly things. Among the gift offerings that are meeting with favor at the present time are baskets, especially those made of sweet grass, either alone or combined with silk, ribbons and other materials. Guaranteed to make you sleep like a top are the balsam pine needle pil lows. Soft pliable kid evening slippers, w-ith designs effectively worked in beads on the vamps are among the new accessories for evening wear. Novelty hosiery, although hard to secure, is shown with wide inserts em broidered in contrasting colors. Very chic indeed is the effect of the much-in-vogue white hats when worn with the white top shoes. Some are close fitting turbans, while others are medium sized sailors. A piece of Ruskin pottery will de light the woman who is a collector of rare and uncommon things. A pretentious dresser set is shown in black and white striped ivory. Subscribe for The Monitor.
