"Monastir, where the Bulgarians were never expected to arrive, is the last place in Serbia, hard upon fhe Greek frontier, and defended by ser mountains on every hand," National Geographical Society says in a bulletin It was one of. the most prized acquisitions made by the Serbians after the war in 1912 of the Kalkan League with the Ottoman Empire By means of schools, pro- paganda, Serbian committees and Serbian priests, the people of all this southern territory were long carefully prepared for ultimate unfon with the little kingdom. Mon- astir was to the Serbian ambitions what the port af Saloniki was to the Greeks and the Bulgarians Monastir was the second city of Turkish Macedonia It did a thriv- ing business, even under Turkish rule, and the Serbians entertained | great hopes for its future More- over, the mountain city is one of the || important strategic points in the Bal- kans, and when under Turkish rule it was made a base of military de- fence and offence of the same rank as | Adrianople Here were located the headquarters' offices of a Turkish army COTPS, for the roads from the | port af Saloniki, on the Aegean Sea; {from the port of Durazzo, on the | Adriatic Sea; from Nish, the ancient {capital of Serbia, and from the im- | portant fortress Adrianople met and crossed here. The $erbians have | strengtliened the defensive works of | the city since their occupr*tion. | "The city nestled in a bowl scoop-' led in the mountain clusters at an al-| titude of 2,019 feet. To the west the mountains rise to a height of {more than 8,000 feet. Al the moun- {tain country around is heavily wood- led, while the broad valley is carpet- ed with fruitful fields The port of Saloniki, where the Allied troop#! landed, is 85 miles distamt to the! south-east. Constantinople is 400 miles to the east. Belgrade is 260 miles to the north and Nish 155, miles. The nearest point of the| Bulgarian frontier at Strumnitza, is only §5 miles away "A railway ling connects Monastir, and Salomniki, with which city most of the Serbian town's trade is done. The export products of all southern Serbia are agsembled at this place while the impopts are distributed from the re and from Uskup.

Miss Tennyson, who recently pass- ed away at Bovrnemouth, Eng, in her 99th year, was the last sgurviv: ing sister of Lord Tennyson, the Poet-Laureate. Inan account by Mr Frederick Locker-Lampson of his travels with Lord Tennyson he men- tions imcidentally how "Tilly told him of an adventure she had had with a ghost She was at Somersby (Lord Tennyson's birthplace in Lin- colnshire), and the time of the inci- dent is just before the death t Vienna of Arthur Hallam, Tennyson's great friend, in the September. of 18235 Miss Matilda and her sisted Mary "saw a tall figure clothed from and they fol- lowed it down the lane and saw it pass through the hedge where there was no gap." Cost of the Censor. The Australian Government em- ploys seventy-three war news censors at salaries averaging £500 per an- num, aad nineteen interpreters whose pay varies from 2s an hour to £400 a year. South Australia alone employs twenty-one censors at an annual cost of £9,650. Cost of Motor Ambulanees. Some idea of the cost of the Red Cross organization may be gathered from the fact that the fleet of motor ambulances a' the front alone costs $1,600,000 a year. Forty Press Censors.
