The Berliner Tageblatt more frankly
suggests that the Germans are far from

difficult position. 1t says:
The report of very extensive attacks

are not caluculated to relieve our anx-
iety. We know that our advance lines
are almost impenttrablv protected and
are preparing against flank attacks, and
hope, therefore. that the result of the
movement will be successful to our
army. If new French and English
forces should penetrate still further il

troops enough to fall back to our strong

the Travellers Aid Society and the little
family set out In the broling sun for a
tramp of Ave long miles in midsummer.
Travellers Aid agents took them to a
home where they could stay temporarily
and communicated with their friends
out in Michigan, who at once sent on
money to pay for transporting the four
back home.
The policeman In this case made a
mistake. He should have notified the
officials in the ferry house, who would
have telephoned headquarters, with the
result that an. agent would at once have
been sent down town with sufficient
funds to take the tired and hopeless
little family up town by street car.
This work Of protecting incoming
travellers in New York was started In
1885. The idea us said to have originated
with two old gentlemen, members Of the
Society OF Friends. William Collins and
Edward Prior. They had read In news
papers OF the traps and snares set 6or
ignorant. inexperienced girls who came
to this city and decided that something
must be done to offset the danger. In
order TO get the work under way they
offered to pay the salary of a city mis-
sionary, whose sole work would be to
meet and look after young girls coming
INTO New York.
The work was then placed under the
direction of the New York Bible and
Fruit Mission, and Miss Eta Clark, a
young woman with special adaptabllity,
was chosen to do the actual work OF
meeting the girls. At about this time
other cities began to engage in the work.

and Chrstlania doing it through the

the simple word prevention" It is
far better to avert human disaster, the
society believes, than to attempt res

As may be seen by the foregoing fig

special form Of protection is seen In the
case Of a pretty girl of II years. who
was coming to this country to live with
relatives in Kansas. She came across
the ocean alone, and on the steamer
met two men who were especially kind
to her. The older one asked her to call
him uncle. which she did as a matter
of fun, and the younger man proposed
marriage to her. They were so good
to her, and so considerable, that she al
lowed them to keep her money, lest II
be stolen on the ship.
All was going happily for her until
the ship arrived here. when several keen
eyed men, wearing the uniform OF Gov
eminent officials. sat down at a large
| table to look at one passenger after an
other, and ask certain questions before
they landed. The young girl bound
for Kansas was surprised when her
uncle" was unable to prove his iden-
tity, and the inspectors turned her over
to the care of Travellers Aid agents.
With one of these women she went
down to the pier, where the younger
man claimed her as his affianced wife
said he wished to marry her the next
day. and meantime would take her to
dinner. The Travellers Aid agent had
her attention temporarily attracted by
several other girls who wanted ad-
vice, and when she looked around the
girl had disappeared. Some one told
her that two or three hotel runners had
been heard to say:
"Whatever you do, get that girl"

assistance. 1t was sent Immediately,
