hAainii A BATTLE.
Opposing Armies Do Not Always Give
IL tie Same Dssicnatiop

Many OF the worlds most IA uous
battles have two laines Thus tne hat
tie OF Waterloo is known uy that nllie
only among English speakfng peoples.
The FIRE nri call il the battle uf la
Belle Alliance. The battle that 6ecid-
ed the war between Prussia aud Aus
tria in 1StG Is known among the Ger
mans as the battle of Sadowa. but the
Austrians call 1t the battlJ of Koenig-
graetz. In the war Of 1910, between
Germany and France, the great en-
gagement that the Germans call the
battle OF Grayelotte is spoken or by
the French as the battle of St. Prlyai.
The same thing was common In our
civil war The battle that is known in
the north as the battle of Bull Run
would not be recognized by most south
erners undes that name. In the south
1t is invariably called the battle OF
Manassas. So the battle that the Fed
eral generals called the battle OF Pitts
burg Landing was by the Confederates
called the battle Of Shiloh. Antietam
is called in the south the battle OF
Sharpsburg. The writer, southerner,
whose father was Confederate Off
Ger, was twenty years old before he
ever heard Of the battle of Antietam,
although he was familiar with all the
details of the battle of Sharpsburg.
The reason for this is that the op-
posing armies always name the battle
from some prominent geographical
landmark, and as they look at the field
from different points of view they nat
urally settle on different names. Thus,
at Waterloo, the battle took it's Eng
lish name from the little village where
! wellington made his final headquar-
ters and whence be sent to England
the first dispatch that announced his
victory. So in 1866 the headquarters
OF the Prussian army was near the viii
lage of Sadowa. whereas that of the
Austrians was near the village OF Koe.
niggraetz. At Gravelotte the little vii
lage of that name was an important
point in the German lines On the side
of the French the hamlet of st. Privat
was the key to their battle formation.

Florence Crittenton
Mission in New Y ork
MINDS POLLUTED
IN CHILDHOOD
Character Formulated in Home Long
Before Application Is Made in
Legislative Halls to Remedy Evils
Prevalent in Many American Cities
By ASSOCIATED Press.

Kansas City, No., Nov. 9.-Mere
girls 60 wrong because of home condi-
tions than for any other reason, as
serted Miss Margaret Z. Luther, super
intendcnt of the Florence Crittenton
Home, New York City, in an address
before the International Purity Con-
2ress here to-day.
Miss Luther, VINO spoke on "The
Girls Who Go Through the New York
Courts, pointed out that most of the
girls with whom the courts have to
deal are not more than is years old.
''Statistics show that the large
number of girls who go wrong are not
alone in the world,' she said. "Nor
are they all wage earners. Girls come
to us from all stations and all condi-
tions of life. In most of the cases the
minds are polluted in early childhood.
Home conditions are responsible. Out
of 400 girls recently brought before
the New York women's night court,
ESQ were not more than Is years old,
while ll6 of them were only 16 years
old.
Stories of locked doors and barred
windows in connection with white
. slavery, are largely imaginary, accord
to Miss Luther.
"The men who live on commercial
Ned vice are the men you see standing
Sp the street corners.'' she continued.
.'Their victims are usually silly little
gitls they win by wiles. And the girl
such man can enSlave soul, mind and
body, is worse than any physical slave.
''A judge recently told me that 90
per cent. OF the men he had sentenced
for white slavery, were less than 90
years old. Home conditions are respon.
si5le for this situation.
''Some people are inclined to say
that if we had better laws we would
have better living and better home
conditions, Character is formed in the
