FRENCH TRAITOR

PARIS. July 22-It is not very long

F1ans of the German army office. 30 be

Just now, however, the laugh is on
France, and the humiliation IS so much
greater, as 1t Is men serving IN the
army who have sold and betrayed i'm

Not long ago il was discovered that all
the plans of mobilization had disap-
peared. and Investigations have shown
that a soldier named Pejtseier for some
time has been in the service of at least
two foreign powers.

LONDON'S ADMIRATION
FOR AMERICAN GIRLS
Prominent Ones Who Have Been At
tending Principal Functions
Recently.

LONDON. July 22.-Miss Gwendolire
Townsend Burden, 81 New York, who is
staying with her father and mother at
Claridge's Hotel. and who was one of
the bridesmaids at the Phipps-G Guest
wedding. is one of the most admires
American girls In London just at pres
ent. and Miss Evelyn Bigelow and Miss
Ethel Lounsbery. the granddaughter of
J. B. Haggin. have received a great deal
of attention from numerous male ad-
miFers.
Miss Evelyn Bigelow and her mother
Mrs. Poultney Bigelow. have been going
TO all the big functions. including the
Earl and Countess OF IddesIeigh's party.
and. of course. ali the American dances
and dinners. Last weekend they spent
with Lord and Lady North. at Ro1ton
abbey. which is one of England's show
places.
Mrs Bigelow. who has quite recovered
her old spirits is undoubtedly the wit
test American In town. and at informal
dinner parties people stop their own con-
versation to catch the impromptu good
things which she rattles off with such
ease. Then they go elsewhere and re-
peat the jokes as their own.

RUSSIAN KNOWS
JUST HOW TO DIE
Gen. KurOpatkin Was Proud
Of His Troops.
is ALSO A GOOD FIGHTER
Deposed Commander Spoke Freely of
His Campaign in Manchuria.
Made No Complaint.

PARIS, July ga correspondent OF
LIE Mattn who has had an interview
with General Kuropatkin in Manchuria
gives this interesting description OF the
dethroned hero. who won the admira-
tion of the world by the patriotism OF
asking as d favor TO be allowed to fight
under q man who for some time had
been his inferior and always his enemy
When [ was taken into the generals
quarters In the comfortable rooms of
Chinese gentleman farmers house 1
found him seated at a table covered
with maps and papers.
The months of defeats for which he
was made responsible. though the fault
was entirely with the government in St.
Petersburg. which ignored all his de-
mands and forced him to accept battle
when he felt that he must be defeated,
has aged him greatly. and his hair
and beard, which were black a year
ago. are now silvery gray.
But if his face looks worn and hag-
gard, the expression in his eyes shows
that his determination and will are as
strong as ever.
He looked at me kindly and said: so
you have come to see the war and to
see our army. AS far is I am con-
cerned it will not cause me any in-
convenience. [ have nothing to con-
ceal in my command, and I shall be
very glad if you will faithfully report
everything you see. If you wish you
may visit the firing line at any time,
and I shall give you a passport which
will enable you to go anywhere you
please within our lines. and will also
give you an officer and two soldiers
for your personal escort.
1T is not enough to see our brave
troop in action; you must also see them
before the battle, then you will know
of what unheard Of reports they are
capable and you will see how perfect
is their confidence in their officers.
IF you follow them into battle you
viii see how the Russian soldier fights
and how ne knows how to die. It is
a spectacle which has more than onee
brought tears to my eyes. The super
ior numbers of the Japanese may again
force us 10 retreat, but they will never
completely crush US, and with abso-
lutte equanimity we are waiting for the
battle which must soon come.

MUNICIPAL CRECHES ARE
STRONGLY RECOMnEN
Urban District Councils Association
Declares Against Professional Baby
Minder" in England

LONDON. July 22.-ShouId municipal
authorities add TO their many RESPONSE
bilities by taking care of babies?
This question was seriously discussed
at the annual conference of the Urban
District Councils Association at the
Guild Hall the other day. when the ne
cessity for maintaining creches for the
young children of factory hands and
other women workers who are away
from home during the day was strongly
urged.
At present such children are entrusted
to the professional baby minder," who
is often incompetent and negiectful, uses
dirty bottles and feeds her charges i'm
properly. The establishment of munfci-
pal CTeclIrs. il was argued, would pre-
vent the enormous infanule death rate.
The proposal met with considerable on
position, one speaker saying the munich
pal authorities were coming to be looked
upon as the gOdfathers and godnlot hers
of the whole of the Inhabitants of the
country.
Ultimately a resolution, so amended
q to imply that the creches must be
self-supporting. was adopted.

PARIS, July 22.-Little 10y little the

Two American Ladies Who Pre-

PARIS. July 22--The magnificent re-
ception TO which Mr. Mccormick. am
bassador of the United States, invited
Us the other day, was one of the most
brilliant fetes of this kind to which it
has ever been my lot 10 be invited.
The decorations. floral ana other, the

the Iadies-everything, IN fact-was of
the utmost elegance, worthy of the
wealthy nation that offered US hos
pitaIity that evening.
Mr.. Mccormick had been extremely

laid down by his friend. President

Monsieur Buhourd, our ambassador ar

try of NJ Delcasse which shows that
the representatives. and agents for the
ministry for foreign affairs had orders
during that time to restrict their reIa-
tions with the German government to
an Icy politeness.
The Emperor William is in the habit
of inviting himself to dinner with any
OF his subjects or foreign ministers in
his capital whom he particularly wishes
10 honor. Meeting NJ Bilhourd IN q
diplomatic drawingroon, he went up to
him and said:
M Bilhourd, I shall have the pleas

State Superintendent OF Education
O. B. Martin issued circular recent
ly from his office urging schools in the
state to plant trees upon their grounds
on Arbor Day, November 3. How
many of our teachers observed the re-
quest of Mr.. Martin? It is not too
late yet to do this commendable SER
vice to- the future and we hope all OF
our teachers have obserevd or will
observe rhis duty. With very little
trouble and expense the bleak and bar
rem and unsightly grounds that sur
round many of the school houses in
the county could be rendered very
pretty and attractive. Trees planted
now:would in very few years afford
ample shade, making more comfort
able the play ground for the children.
