Fresh Air Mission Day at Mrs.
Stevens Home.

Dear Union Signal:-Out under the
old elms at Mrs. Stevens home, we had
a unique and significant observance of
August 3, our Fresh Air Mission DAY,
the birthday Of Lady Henry Somerset,
who us whole fresh air mission in

Our National president invited one
of the Armenian refugee families, who
came here from Marseilles three years
ago 70 spend the afternoon with us.

and baby Arum were frolicked with and
fondled by different members Of the
party, our thought went back to the old
charity hospital IN Marseiles ami we
could see these two angels of mercy,

mercifully escaped the knife of the Tur.

As we looked at this little family, ty-

Armenians VINO found homes in this
country through The loving kindness Of

beloved organization had helped bring

care given them by Names white RIB
bon president and her friends who
opened hearts and homes to these
people and have found them faithful
helpers and good citizens.
Little Willard, the first refugee baby
horn in this country, is an irrepressble
boy, alert minded ailectionate, and
withal very handsome, and his frequent
reiteration of the one bit OF English he
had acquired namely. How do do, -
well expresses his activity Of mind and
body. Placid little Arum, his baby
brother, was contented To- he on the
grass and blink at the sky, and it was
an easy matter to get "snap shot of
the infant oriental But when it came
to little Willard it was a struggle, for
he was "bound to see the wheel 90
round, and a9pired to the achievement
of taking his own picture. But have
him safely caught III ny camera in
company with Mrs. Stevens, as well as
various groups of the entire family,
who seemed to enjoy the process OF
"being TAKEN" and posed for me
most murmuringly.
Refreshments were served, and such
talk as we could muster with our
ignorance of Armenian ard their linn
tied comprehension of English was in
dulged in, and as they went down the
hill To the ''electric" which would carry
them to their home, Willard, from his
fathers shoulder, sang out To us his

hand until they were ont Of sight.
We wish Lady Henry might have
seen their expressive faces as we talked

felt that the mnstering spirit of the one
who made it possible for them to come
TO this dear land was not far away.

NELL PLEASED,
Cables From Otis Indicate Success
Of His Plans
WAR DEPARTMENT OPINION

WASHINGTON, March e7.-The de-
partment last night received the fol-
lowing:
Macarthur advanced beyond New
canayan, two miles beyond Polo, nine
miles from Manila and fifteen miles
from Malolos; railroad win be repaired
to advance point tomorrow and troops
supplied by cars; Macarthur will
press on tomorrow; is now in open
country. Insurgents stoutly resist
ing behind succeeding. lines of in
trenchments, from which troops con-
tinually drive them. City perfectly
quiet and. native inhabitants appear
to be relieved of anxiety and fear of
insurgents Captain Krayenbuh, com
missary. lieutenant Third artillery,
mortality wounded. OrIs.
WASHINGTON, March e7.-General
Otis dispatch, received at 10 o'clock
last night. recorded MacArthur's ad-
vance to Newcanayan, marked dis
tinct and important step by the Amer
lean troops in the opinion Of Acting
Secretary Meikeljohn and Adjutant
General Corbin. Both expressed
their satisfaction at what had
been accomplished The former dis
patches regarding this branch of
tho operations had not been
SO promising, inasmuch as they
had stated that General Macarthur,
although he had driven the enemy.
could not gain point north of Polo
on account of the roughness of the
country. With easy railroad commu-
nication to the advanced point the diff
ficulty in advancing commissary sup
plies will be considerably lessened.
Every step forward is regarded as
so much ground gained, and an APP
proach nearer the insurgent head
quarters at Malosos. now stated to he
but fifteen miles from the vanguard of
the American army. The tenacity of
the Filipinos in the past few days
fighting has somewhat surprised tine
war officials here, who did not think
them capable of putting up and main
tanning the contest as they have.
Word is hourly expected at the war
department of the arrival of the trans
port Sheridan at Manila with 1000
reinforcements for General Otis. This
will be formidable addition to his
fighting strength. They include one
full regiment and the headquarters
ard one battalion of another, and if
the experience of those taken aboard
the Grant and Sherman is repeated
they will be in fighting trim as soon
as they land, and ready to be pushed
Immediately to the front. Six regi-
ments of infantry and artillery, COM
prising approximately 5000 men, one
regiment of which sailed from San
Francisco yesterday, are under orders
for Manila. Their movement will be
pushed as rapidly as possible, with
view to the reinforcement of General
Otis at the earliest day practicable.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The death
Of Prince Ludwig Karl Lowenstein-
Wertheim ends career which of late
had seemed mysterious and given rise
to no little speculation. According to
a dispatch from London on March 4,

Saville, a daughter of the Earl of
Marlborough. had been lost sight of by
his friends, and an advertisement in

This elected dispatch from Manila

the Philippines, had been there for
many months. was present at the de-
struction of Montejo's feet and was a
member of the European club. The
dispatch asserted also that his be-
havior had given rise to sus-
picion that he was acting as

German government It was further
alleged that before Manila was

surrendered he was allowed to pass in

lines, each party apparently regard

For few days it was even asserted
that he had acted as q voluntary aide

The London Daily Mail about the
