This disturbance will begin a new has commenced to bo a real danger to
month of precipitation covering Feb-1 Ihe Hermans, as 11 threatened to drive

eastern sections, Mexico, Central the extreme difficult country of the
MuKiiriuu lakes.
If this movement succeeds the Htis-
sians would overrun a considerable
America ami South America.
The heaviest of these rains Is not
expected with this first storm but Ihe
rains will lucreuse In the sections
mentioned till about March 22. Tem-
peratures of this dlsl iirhaucc will
average lower than usual but the
storms will not be severe.
our danger signal* are hung out for
the Panama Canal for February 20 to
March 22 on account of heavy rains
that will probably cause an Increase of
slides, lieuvy ruins wljl continue also
on Ihe Puclllc coasts of Mexico
and California but not so heavy In
Culiforniu as during Ilie pust two
months. Usually the winter rains lire
much heavier on the Puclllc slopes of
Oregon, Washington und British Col-
umbia than in California but in accord
with our forecasts II has been revers-
ed this winter and California bus ro
el veil the big rainfalls. This condi-
tion will continue till about May 20
when the usual conditions will prevail
on the Paclllc slope till uhoul June IB
when an unusual condition or raiufall
will begin on the Puclfle slope.
From about June 19 to July 22 the
Culiforniu und Mexican Pacific slopes
will get mu.h more than the usual
amount of ruin. Thut is their dry
season usually und the dust Is unnoy-
Ing but the ruins in July this yeur will
luy the dust und make It much more
comfortable for the grout Kxposltion.
For this reuson we ure of opinion that

Campaign Is I*iisImhI.
The campaign in the ('arpatliiuns
and In (iiillclu Is not so easily to follow
as the olllclul reports ure exceedingly
sparing lu Information. It Is evident,
however, that while Ihe Itiisslun of-
fensive lu the western pusses of the
mountains is being pushed with
strength and lias proved partly suc-
cessful, It has been met by stronger
opposition lu the custom pusses, with
the result lhut The Itusslans have been
compelled to full back In Bukowlnu.
They liuve repeatedly done this, only
to give the Aostriuns buttle when they
debouched from the Itiisslun end of
the passes, and It is presumed fhut
this Is their intention now.
The operations ure on. so lurge and
complicated scale that It muy be weeks
before any definite decision Is reached.
