have displayed "a blind hatred toward

troops from ambush
Women took part in this fighting as
much az the men," says the Kolnische
Zetuno Of Sunday last. This paper prints
one despatch telling OF a Belgian girl who
shot tho driver of a military automobile
Naturally she was Immediately exc
cuted," 1t continues. but neither execu.
tions nor the burning Of houses frightened
the cnraged population"
Another newspaper prints Wolff
bureau despatch saying that the French
frontier fortresses are Anticipated, the
artillery inferior and the troops discon-
tented.
The Berlmor TGoebidn printed tales Of
German refugees from France who said
they were tortured and starved. thrown
like cattle into wagons and beaten AZ they
went toward the frontier. Women refugees
brought the astounding story that Paris
WAS at the mercy Of the "apaches." while
thousands OF the Parisians were demon
strating against the war.
The National ZetunO has an editorial
entitled War" in which 1t says
The monster il the advancing auto
crat of all the Russias. who has always
remained deaf to the cry OF hcln of those
who langush in Siberia. His heast goes
out to the Servian regicides, His be
havior is against all logic and against

gers by a sudden lurch Of the car
flung across the aisle. There was
but one reason for this: Their bal
ance upon the seat was imperfect.
BY reason of the conformation OF the
body the sitting posture is much like
a ball striving to secure balance on
fiat surface. A jolt easily disturbs
the balance. That is a reason, that
amounts to demand, for the con-
vex chair back and for the low
enough seat.
"The aim in building these seats
was to accommodate the average
person. The seats may be a little
too low for the very tall person, but
that will not cause any serious dis
fomfort. Seats that are so high that
the feet of the sitter have to dangle
loosely are more than a cause of dis.
comfort-they are menace.
A"The American Posture League
will try to educate the public to
demand the right kind of seats and
will cooperate with the manufac-
turer in making them--that is, il the
manufacturer wants to know what is
the scientifically correct chair he can
find out in our office, at No. 80
