| LONDON Standing supremely
unique among the figures who are
making history in the great war
which will mark a new era for Eu
rope, is Albert, king of the Belgians
newspaper man, expert engineer, low
er of mankind and most democratic
of all rulers.
Nobody ever heard much of Albert
Leopold Clement Maria Meinrad be-
fore that eventful day when he sent
word to his soldiers at Liege to hold
out" against the Germans massing
at Herbestal. The exhortation breath
ed such a dauntless bombastic assur
ance that those who read smiled
grimly and little sadly as they re-
Elected that tiny Belgium would
prove a tid-bit for the Teuton wal
hosts.
But Liege has long held out, and
Albert, king of Belgium, which in
cludes some stable cities and is said
to enjoy more prosperity per capita
than any other European country

that the credit of Belgium is unim
paired and that all wheat shippers
may send their grain to Antwerp
with the guarantee of the government
that they will not only be paid in
gold, but that all their war risks
will be covered.
KING is DEMOCRATIC.
Europe last haven Of "the divine
right of kings" in the Occidental
world, has long glared impotently at
Albert, king of Belgium. His casual
democracy, his undoubted business
ability and his manner of dealing
with the Socialists, so that the So
cialists. cursing most labor condi-
tions, paused to praise their ruler,
has worried them almost into pros
tration He is called, in the circles
which royalty frequents. the "Social-
list king" but, whatever his political
belief, the fact remains that he has
brought the country to wonderful
state Of prosperity and the state rail-
roads under his direct supervision
have become little more profitable
than any In this country.

POOR PAPA.

When little Doris climbed up to
her fathers knee it was quite OBJ
vious that some deep problem was
troubling her mind. Presently she
unburdened herself Of the momen-
tous question.
Papa" she asked. was it a
very wise person who said, The

Yes" replied the father, Il sup
pose he must have been very, very
wise"

Wife Collects a
Debt From Hubby

LOS ANGELES. - Husband and
wife are one in affection, but two
in the eyes of the law when either
borrows from the separate property
of the other.
So held Judge Wellborn in deny
ing the motion Of R. P. Jennings,
wealthy clubman and automobile
racer. to free his $4,000 racing car
from an attachment levied by his
wife.
Mrs. Meta o. Jennings claims
that Jennings borrowed from her
separate property s1,4OO and claims
that he neglected to pay it back,
Failing to secure a return Mrs. Jen-
nings filed an attachment upon the
huge racing machine of her wealthy
husband. Attorney Paul Shenck
based his argument in favor of dis
solving the injunction upon the
ground that wife cannot sue a
husband when no stipulation as to
payment is in evidence. Judge Well
born held otherwise. 1t is probable
that an appeal will be taken.
According to the attorneys the
couple are separated Mr.. Jennings
has apartments at the Merritt Jones
Hotel and his wife at the King
George hotel at Ocean Park.

WOMAN TAKES THE INITIATIVE

A young woman takes the intia-
tive when she meets in the street a
man with whom she may have dane
ed several times at a dance. She al
ways bows to him, though no further
acquaintance may ever after exist
between them.
Too many women have the mis-
taken impression that manifestly to
refuse all recognition is the proper
method by which to end an undesir-
able acquaintance or to administer
rebuke for discourteous treat
ment received. 1t is perfectly easy,
when desired, to acknowledge a bow
with such dignity and such brevity
of glance as to indicate plainly that
one wishes nothing but a bowling
acquaintance.
When it seems best not to bow at
all then turn the eyes away or keep
them lowered while the person is
passing To look insolently at an
acquaintance and not to bow Is the
rudest of acts, and not INDUCED in
by a we'll bred woman.

TO MEND PIPES OF FURNACE

When the furnace fire must be
started in the fall. one may find
that the pipes are rusted in spots
and unsafe to use. By applying
strips of wet asbestos paper on the
hot pipes the paper will adhere
closely and SO seal the pipes. This
has been found a great economy,
as the furnace pipes last year
longer without repairing them than
they otherwise would
If the kitchen range contains an
ugly crack, you may fill it with a
cement made by beating one egg,
to which add sifted ashes and stove
polish until thick enough to spread.
Work the paste smooth with an
old knife and press into crack, then
smooth over the top. This will
harden almost like iron and will
take a polish that will render the
break unnoticeable-Ex.

SERVING CHILDREN.

1t is no longer the rule to help
children last at the table. Nowadays,
when they are present, they are

anxiety and cruel disappointments
which we were frequently called

Carranza and declared for Villa and

T Takes Field to En-
courage Troops.
FIERCE BATTLE RACES
German Advance Has Apparent
y Been Checked.

London, Nov. 30.-While deprecat-
ing the exaggerated reports of Rus
sian successes in the battle in north
ern Poland, where the German EN-
peror has Joined Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg to offer his advice and to
encourage his troops, the latest avail
able official reports from Russian
headquarters say the advantage in
the fighting still lies with the Rus
sian army.
1t is also officially said that enor-
the Germans, but no mention is made
of the character Of the German divi-
sion which has been so freely claimed
by the Petrograd correspondents Of
London and Paris papers.
Opposed to this is the German Off
cial report, which says that the Rus
sian attacks have been repulsed and
the German counter attacks have
been successful.
Some days must elapse before this
battle, which promises to prove the
most decisive of the war, is conclud-
ed. All that is definitely known is
that the German advance has been
brought to a standstill Some of the
German troops have been partly or
wholly surrounded. but they are still
fighting stubbornly to break their way
through the Russian lines, apparently
to the northward, where they hope to
join reinforcements sent from Thorn.
In the battle before Cracow the
Russians claim decisive success. Dur
ing the last week they took 10000 Aus
trian and German prisoners in this
region. This victory is taken in Pc
trograd to mean Cracow will not bar
the Russian advance in Silesia, to the
south, but that with the Austrian
army beaten it will be necessary only
to mask the fortress.
Russians Announce Successes.
The Russians likewise announce
success on the Austrian side of the
Carpathians and against the Turks in
the Caucasus. although in both re-
gions the worst of weather has pre-.
vailed.
ln the western arena the Germans,
although making an occasional infan-
try attack, seem at present content to
lombard the allied positions, but with
somewhat lighter guns than they have
been using. This may mean either
that they are sending troops and artil-
lery to the east to use against the
Russians, or that they are preparing
new attack against the allies
That the enterprise that failed In
Flanders will not be repeated for the
present seems probable as the allies
have been allowed to capture some
points of vantage around Ypres, which
were previously considered necessary
to the German plans. There has been
minor attack near Arras, but not in
strong enough force to suggest the
Germans have tried to get to the coast
by direct route from the east.
Field Marshal French, in an inter-
esting report doubtless in response to
the demands of the British public, tells
what the various units of the expeGi-
tiOnary force have been doing those
that failed and were cut off and those
who, against superior numbers, held
the trenches for a month. He gives
it as his opinion that the German
losses have been thrice as great as
those OF the allies and speaks opti-
misticaly of the future.

In the opinion of these experts the

but they declare the purpose of the
German campaign against Warsaw has
been entirely frustrated.
The alleged failure OF the German
plan is attributed to what is termed a
reckless attempt to cut the Russian
center line.
During all the operation Lodz is
said to have been under attack more
than once but the only damage sus-
tanned was the burning of the electric
power plant and the suburban rail-
road station.
