PITTs5URe WOMEN IN MAD So.
ClAL RACE.
Many Are Driving Their Husbands
Bankrupt by Trying to Present
Appearance of Wealth on
Moderate Salaries.

Pittsburg, Pa.-"So mad has the
race for social supremacy become that
many owners of houses worth from
5000 to $4,000, which they have ac-
quired after years of toll and saving,
are mortgaging them in order to buy
automobiles. SO fearful are they Of
being outshone by their neighbors
that they are resortlng to the most
reckless extravaganza and trying to
present the appearance Of wealth on
an income not exceeding $3.50 a
month"
This is a portion of the report of a
committee of the New Era Women's
club, of Pittsburg. which has been in
vestigating social conditions in this
city.
Something must be done and done
quickly" the report says, ito prevent
the women of Pittsburg from resort
ing TO the means they do to acquire
social prestige in their set. Existing
conditions in Pittsburg are such that
active measures must be taken.
Mothers are neglecting their children,
and young wives are driving their hus'
bands to the wall for the sake of the
appearance of wealth
The club women charge that women
and girls who have married men re.
ceiving salaries from 800 to $3.50 a
month are gradually driving their hus.

for the sake of possessing some means

Homes which have been secured
through years of saving and hard Ia
Dor are being threatened with the
auctioneer's hammer or the foreclos
ing of a mortgage because the women
have seen their neighbor's big red
touring car and do not wish her to
gain the reputation of possessing
something they cannot have.

cure an automobile by saving from
her husbands weekly or monthly in.
come, the wife with said aspiration
concludes it Is not feasible and casts
about for some other means to raise
the money. The automobile by this
time has become a permanent fixture
in her brain and she must have one
How to get it is the chief and most
important point.
Many ways suggest themselves, but
none practicable until the thought
strikes her that they can get money
on their home by taking mortgage
The interest and part Of the principal
can be paid in monthly installments
1t Is brilliant thought and seems to
afford an easy way out of the difil

The husband strenuOusly objects al
first until the womans pleadings and
tears bring the desired result, and
the deal is consummated. 1t looks at
first as though the mortgage can be
paid off easily, but something turns up
the baby gets sick and the auto
uses an immoderate quantity of gaso-
line, The monthly installment on the
mortgage is not paid. The salary. all
of it, must be used to keep up the
house and pay the unexpected ex.
penses that have been incurred.
Pittsburg club women interested In |
the subject ask: by what means can |
a stop be put to this state of affairs?' |
They agree that the solution of the
problem is not clear, but that some

QUALITIES OF THE OYSTER
One Particularly Good Point Which
Bore Might Emulate.

A san Franciscan has discovered a
new method of cutting short rccitas
that promise to become too long-wnd-
ed. An acquaintance Of his, who has
a local reputation as bore, was one
day holding forth at some length
when the Californian interrupted him
with; by the way, did ever tell you
the story of the oyster?' On receiv-
ing negative reply, he continued: 1T
seems that when oysters are taken
from the sea they often open their
shells so that the juice or liquid runs
out As this is undesirable, the ex-
perienced oyster gatherer has tub
of water close at hand into which the
oyster Is plunged as soon as it begins
to open its she'll" We'll, and what
then?' asked the other as the narrator
paused The San Franciscan smiled.
"Oh, after a while the oyster learns to
keep its mouth shut" he remarked
quietly.

To Tell Horss,a Character.

II is easy to tell a horses character
by his nose, according to an army
officer If the profile has a gentle
curve and at the same time the ears
are pointed and sensitive, the animal
may be depended on as being gentle
and at the same time high.spiiited On
the other hand, II the horse has a
dent in the middle of his nose it is

and vicious. A horse with slight

Great Slaughter Of Salmon.

infancy they race iv countless thou

lack OF elbow room kill them on A
recent traveller declares that, however
many millions OF salmon may run up

II is matter of custom rather than
of reason that we should use SO much

upon the table. That is a regrettable

GEN. KUR0PATKINYS HISTORY Of WAR
WITH JAPAN HAS ESCAPED THE CENSOR

Kuropatkin's reasons of the failure
of the war are based chiefly on a
comparison of the warlike spirit of the
Japanese, their preparedness and VAL
or, which he says had never been seen
in any previous war and their ability
to maintain the numerical superiority
necessary to assume the offensive,
with the disadvantages of Russia, ow-
ing to the inadequacy of the single
track railway from Europe in feeding
her fighting strength, with command
ing officers disobeying orders and IN
hopeless state of confusion and
cross purposes, with low state of
morals and confidence among the
troops and continuous news from home
OF internal troubles and or insults
and reproaches against the army.
The general closes his survey of the
cause of the defeat of the Russians
with the pathetic reflection that II
Russia had been united and ready to
make the sacrifices necessary to safe
guard her dignity and integrity the
valiant Russian army would have
strived till the foe was subdued."
The AIuklen volume opens with a
sketch of the early events of the war
showing that there were divided coun-
sells from the outset over the defenses
of Port Arthur. In February 1904,
Kuropatkin presented two memoranda
to the emperor concerning the place
of operations. In the first he wrote:
During the earlier period of the

st. Petersburg, Feb 16.-General
Kuropatllin's history of the Russo-Jap-
anese war which was confiscated by
the Russian government has at last
become accessible, despite the most
extreme precautions to prevent this
CALLING official indictment from reach
ing the public. The work is remark
able for it's historic value as the clos
ing chapter of the war from the pen
of the commander in chief and for
the merciless criticism of the men and
measures which in Kuropatkin's est1-
mate swept Russia and its army to in
evitabie defeat.
volumes respectively devoted to the
three crucial events of the war, the
battle Of Liao-Yang. the battle of the
Sha river and the battle of Mukden.
The evoluminous general orders, sta
tistics, reports and other documentary
matter have been collected by Col.
Belkhovitoneff of the general staff.
These with tine conclusions" which
have been formulated constitute most
amazing revolutions of DISCRIMINATION
and incapacity, and even if disobed-
fence of specific and urgent ordeSs on
the part of certain general officers en-
trusted with high commands in the
field, notably General Kaulbars,
against whom a formidable indictment
is framed, saddling upon his shoulders
the entire responsibility for the crush
ing defeat at Mukden.

campaign our chief task must be, not
to permit our troops to be beaten in
detail but to gradually strengthen
them and preparing ourselves for an
advance. We must begin it with suffi-
cient force and not until we have all
the accessories for an uninterrupted
advance during a comparatively long
time"
On the margin of this memorandum
the emperor wrote the laconic COM
ment, "Just So"
kuropatkin goes on to show how
his efforts to realize this program
were checkmated in numerous ways
by the deficiencies of the army and the
lack of transport and artillery horses,
dwelling upon the details given in Or
der to show the utter inadequacy of
the Manchurian army to cope with the
situation. Indeed after tracing the ev-
ents down to the end of May, Kuro-
patkin admits that had General Kur-
oki grasped critical position on the
Russian east front which fortunately
for us he did not, he could have seized
Liao-Yang as early as the beginning
of June"
Speaking of the condition and NOR
ais OF the Russian troops Kuropatkin
says that in reviewing them he no.
ticed the significant lack of strength,
especially in the case of officers.

were old and the majority "heavy,
