FORTRESS AT JANINA FALLS BE<

32,000 SOLDIERS SURRENDER

Athens.—The Turkish fortress ot
Janina, the key to the pon-ession of
the Epirus province, with iis garrison
of 32,000 men, surrendered to the
Greek army after a defense which
stands out as one of the most brilliant
episodes of the Balkan war.
The surrender was preceded by a
fierce bombardment continuing two
days and nights. Every available gun
including heavy howitzers lent by the
Servian artillery, was brought to bear
on the forts defending the beleagured
city.
Thirty-thousand shells were fired
by the Greek guns during the first
day’s cannonade. Gradually the Turk-
TRAGEDY
DEATH
How the Grandchildren of Colonel
Nieuport Concealed His
Son's Death.
"Why did not Charles come back
yesterday?” querulously demanded
Colonel Nieuport, the eighty-two-year-
old father of the airman killed near
Etampes, Seine-et-Loire, recently. His
eldest brother, Edward Nieuport, was
killed in the military maneuvers of
1911.
The news of the second son's death
had been hidden from the father, and
his relatives could only reply:
"Charles has gone for a great flight!”
"Ah, well! And why, then, has not
Edward come to hid me good night?”
They could not make him remember
that Edward was long dead. With
tears in their eyes his grandchildren
brought him letters and flowers to dis-
tract him.
“What has happened?" asked the
old colonel.
“Why, nothing, nothing, grandfa-
ther."
The old man's memory returned
and he was heard mutering: “It is
dreadful to lose your boy. I would
rather have died before him. And the
second—his brother’s equal—nothing
can have happened to him? Oh, no.
The same house could not twice suf-
fer a blow like that.” Smiling, he
thought of the honors which his
younger son was gaining.
Suddenly the sound of military
music came up from the street. It
drew nearer, and as the beating drums
passed the old soldier's window he got
up with difficulty, leaned out of the
window and saluted the passing regi-
ment. Newspaper boys followed the
crowd, shouting, "News of the acci-
dent.” Gentle hands dragged the old
man back—“Go in, grandpa! You are
getting cold.”—Paris Journal.
Boosting a Mine.
"How’s the sale of stock coming
on?” inquired the first promoter.
“Sold 9,000 shares this 'morning,"
said the second promoter.
“That must mean a good deal of
money.”
"Almost $6. Come on, and 1 11 blow
you to lunch.”

Crown Prince Constantine
iBh batteries at Bizani, Manoliara,
Sakni and elsewhere were silenced.
The Greek commanders led the
Turks to believe that the attack
would he made from the right. As
soon as the attention of the defend-
ers had been distracted the Greeks
hurled large bodies of Infantry on to
the Turkish left. The Ottoman troops,
utterly surprised, fell back in disor-
der.
The Turkish flight immediately be-
came general. Whole detachments
succumbed to panic and joined in a
mad race into the city. The Greeks
followed almost to the walls.
With all the defending batteries in
the hands of the Greeks and the Hol-
lenic soldiers at the gates of Janina,
Eased Pasha. Turkish commander
sent messengers to Crown Prince Con-
stantine of Greece announcing the
surrender of the city and all the troops
under his command.
The fall of Janina was announced
by the Crown Prince to the Greek
war offices.
The Greek advance on Janina be-
gan late in October. The Turks re-
tired rapidly in October. The Turks re-
tired rapidly before their opponents
and operations around the fortress
opened about the beginning of De-
cember. The attack continued with
varying success even during the period
of the armstice, to which the Greeks
never formally agreed.
Several of the outlying forts fell
before the Greek assaults and the at-
tack on the principal fortifications
was gradually pressed home. The
,population numbered 22,000, mostly
Greeks.
The fortifications, which had at one
time been considered strong, were an-
tiquated and could not resist modern
cannon.
► Provisions throughout the Beige had
been plentiful as Janina is a center
of the grain trade.
For red, rough, chapped and bleed-
ing hands, dry, fissured, itching, burn-
ing palms, and painful finger-ends,
with shapeless nails, a one-night Cuti-
cura treatment works wonders. Di-
rections: Soak the hands, on retir-
ing, in hot water and Cuticura Soap.
Dry, anoint with Cuticura Ointment,
and wear soft bandages or old, loose
gloves during the night. These pure,
sweet and gentle emollients preserve
the hands, prevent redness, roughness
and chapping, and impart in a single
night that velvety softness and white- j
ness so much desired by women. For
those whose occupations tend to in-
jure the hands, Cuticura Soap and Cu-
ticura Ointment are wonderful.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each

The postman, staggering under his

“Here’s the two dozen house blinds

lady of the house came to the door,
“and the patent washing machine and

sort of apology—‘Tm afraid you’ll
have to wait until my next delivery

to be subjected. But modern methods

Strengthens Greek Position
London.—There was great rejoicing
in Greek diplomatic circles over the
fall of the important Turkish strong
hold of Janina, which had hitherto
offered stern resistance to the Greek
attack.
The success of its army places
Greece in a much stronger position in
deal witli Bulgaria when the time
comes for the division of the spoils ol

a radius of a few blocks, are

clubs and thirty-five theatres.
Three new lines of under-
ground transportation are now
building to Grand Central Ter-
minal, and soon there will be
six levels for human traffic in
