could not make himself heard.
There Ia only one side of this thing

LESS WARLIKE IN SERVIA
Saner Element of Population Obtains
Ascendancy.

ASCeH0dnCy.
Belgrade, Oct. 10.-The war fever
among the people of Servia is dis
tinctly on the decline. The saner ele-
ment of the population gradually are
obtaining an ascendancy over the
more excited politicians and patriots,
who, during the past few days, have
demanded persistently the immediate
advance of the Servian army. Many
Of the l'cebrands are beginning to COM
prehend that an attempt to measure
swords with Austria-Hungary would
be equivalent to national suicide and
the opinion is slowly gaining ground
that Servian interests probably would
be best served by depending on the
loint action of the powers.
The local newspapers are much less
.nflammable and altogether 1t would
appear that the warnings sent King
Peter by France and Great Britain
are proving effective. In spite of the
general improvement, however, the
Ienlisting of volunteers is still going on.

the faithfulness of its portrayals and
beauty of its composition. The rush

any nonsense.

In a Pittsburg foundry, girls are
employed to make simple cores for

veStigator who reports to Chart
ties on GETTYSBURG Women in the
Metal Trades,'' this work is carried
on in clouds of drifting dust. AS
the cores are finished they are set
on trays, which the women carry
across the room to the ovens. A
loaded tray weighs from ten to
twenty-five pounds. In an cIcctri-
cal factory in Last Pittsburg $50

The work is so taxing that the
employees give out readily. Only

Bad conditions for these women

If any one of.them should hold out
and refuse to use the methods of
