dispatch from Carbonate, Pa, says:
The local branch of the w. c.. T. U. has adj
dressed an open letter to women and school
girls adnonishing against the common use
of such expressions as My Lordv' and

leaders of the union interviewed today said
that 1t was the intention of the local union

Lieutenant General Sakharoffs official adj
mission that the Russians had been COM
PEELED to retire from Sandepas on account
of their inability to carry a redoubt. 1t is
also significant that these dispatches from
Russian correspondents at the front have
again suddenly ceased. which is regarded
as an indication of the failure of the oper-

that II was a demonstration undertaken to
