For Wives

woman reader of The Times writes our Cynthia

q stated wage, income, for wives. Friend Hus-
band is to be the paymaster under this home man
aeement plan It is not a wild idea, paying stated
wage or income to ones wife There is nothing outre
about it, A man does his work conducts his bust
ness and In the case of the who a salary,
he has a stated sum each week month upon which
to depend If he is blessed with the divine talent OF
calculation economical preseience he can get
along and avoid the rocks by making up budget
and vigorously pursuing it. But for his wage, the

slipshod job He must do his work, do it well, do it
sition Few men possess life iob-a berth from
which nothing pry them loose.
If wives are to be paid stated wage for the full
fllment of their household tasks then they must
pect to perform their job just zealously, just as
industriously, the husband must perform his own
duties in the shop the store or the office.
Under the wage-for-wives system, wife could
scarcely expect to off to afternoon social at
fair and leave the parlor sweeping till some other
time. No than the husband would dream OF
telling the boss ON just let the books this after
noon, Boss because I've got to go to the ball camel!
To be sure, the wives have the advantage of pos

wives have their advantages and distinct disadvant
ages. In some homes, Mr. Husband would be ter
ribly hard master, fear In Others he would
be easy that the wife's job, with salary would
be termed sscinch'-so easy that there might hap
pen along others who would seek to wrest the easy
job from her. So there you are, The editor of The
Times would like to hear from readers-what is

FIGHTING HAS
bEEN|NCESSANT
GENERAL JOFFRE is DEVOTING
MUCH ATTENTION TO THE
GERMAN WESTERN WING.
S0|SSOMS IS FUR|OUSlY BOMBARDED

PARIS. Sept. 23.-(6:O6 p. m.)-
General Joffre, the COMMUNICATIVE chief
Of the French army, is devoting much
attention to the western wing on the
battle line, where the fighting has been
incessant night and day. The allies,
since the beginning of the battle of
the Aisne, have pushed back the Ger
mans distance of nearly II miles, fore
ing them to seek a further defensive
position on the plateaus and in the
rough country which. however, offers
excellent opportunities for entrench-
ment
The headquarters staff has been en-
abled to make long movement for
ward to the north. The town Of Sois-
sons has been subjected to furious
German bombardment for nine days.
The cannOnade starts each day at
dawn and begins again at A o'clock,
continuing until In the evening. The
cathedral and other buildings have
been greatly damaged.
The German artillery is posted to the
northeast of the town, while the
French guns occupy an emplacement
to the southeast. There appears no
necessity for the shells to fall on the
town itself, as the French troops are
stationed a considerable distance from
it.. Noyon also is suffering from the
German gun fire, but the fine cathe-
dral up to the present has escaped.
Today's advance of the allied troops
entailed very severe fighting, in which
the artillery played large part. The
combat had lasted for "a hours, but
eventually the German yielded much
ground after losing heavily. The allies
suffered severely. Many ambulance
trains have left the front for provn-
cial cities, carrying German and
French wounded. Large numbers of
seriously wounded British officers and
men have been transported to the
American and other hospitals in Paris.
Eight American and British CORE
spondents arrested at Rheims on Mon
day for visiting that city without leave,
have been released through the inter
vention of the American ambassador,
Myron T. Herrick.

G
DEATH ROLL Will Be ABOUT l,4oo

LONDON, Sept 23.-11:45 p. NJ
A Harwich dispatch to the Central
News says it is learned from reliable
sources that the death roll Of the
British cruisers Aboukir, Hogue and
Cressy will be about 1,400. Survivors
explain that the disaster happened in
SO brief a period Of time it seemed
like q nightmare. One of the crew Of
the Aboukir said he was in the water
about four hours. In his opinion, all
the men between decks must have
gone down with the ship. He thought
that for the last three weeks the sub
marines of the enemy had been OBJ
serving the cruisers.
The canteen steward of the Hogue
was on the deck when he heard an
explosion and saw the Aboukir with
decided list. In few moments the
sea was dotted with heads. The
Hogue had just lowered boats when
she received a blow which shook the
ship, her stern seeming to 60 down.
Then a periscope was seen, travelling
very quickly, and the bow gun fired
at it.
The periscope disappeared but
whether the submarine descended OF
her own accord or received her quietus
he did not know.
At that moment, the Hogue received
another shock and began to heel over.
Within a quarter of an hour the waves
were washing about their feet, and

BRITISH AVIATION FLEET MAKES
A DARING RAID INTO GERMANY

LONDON, Sept. "a = Q2:35 a. n.y. 1.-Two squad
rons Of British naval airmen made daring raid
yesterday from Belgium against the German Zep-
pein airship bases at Dusseldorf and Cologne
The attack upon Dusseldorf was officially re-
ported as successful. Lieutenant Collett dropped
three bombs there on Zeppelin shed, sweeping
down to within 200 feet of his target. The attack
on Cologne apparently failed, as the official an
nouncement does not mention it. An Antwerp
paper, however, says that four bombs fell on the
Zeppelin camp at Dusseldorf and set fire to the
hangers. The squadrons making the raid into
Germany are believed to have consisted Of five
aeroplanes with navigator and an assistant in
every machine. The novel expedition started
from an unmentioned base The weather was
misty, which assisted in the secrecy of the air
fleets approach to the intended zones Of opera
tim. 1t is thought in some circles that the wealth
er conditions may have caused hitch in the sched
lle Of the aerplanes and that it is possible the two
bombs which were dropped on the Dutch town of
Maestricht, near the German border, Tuesday,
from mysterious air craft may have come from
one of the British fliers. No fatalities resulted
from the explosions in Maestricht

AWAIT IN VAIN
SERIOUS ATTACK
AUSTRIANs SAID TO HAVE TAKEN
NEW POSITION OF DEFENSE
AGAINST RUSSIANS.
WIRELESS TO AMERICAN EMBASSY

MANCHESTER, Mass, Sept 23--
The Austro-Hungarian embassy, tenn
porarily located here. announced to-
night that it received the following
official telegram by wireless:
"The Austrian forces concentrated
in new positions for several days,
await in vain serious attack by the
Russians. This is the best proof
against the correctness of assertions
that the Russians were victorious,
that they had defeated Dankls army.
and that the Austrian troops were in
dissolution, pursued by Russians.
Equally incorrect is all news about
famine and depressed public feeling
in the monarchy. The population and
the army are full of confidence in
final victory.
I'm the last few days the Austrians
have had several successful engage
ments with Servians. The Forty-sec-
ond landwehr division, consisting of
Crotians, displayed extraordinary cour-
age.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The num-

Cross, who arrived here today on the

Bicknell spent several weeks observ-
ing conditions in the countries at war.
"The truth isl said Mr.. Bicknell,
that over the thousands of square
miles already battle-swept there have
been left almost countless thousands
of men helpless from CHASTITY wounds.
Some have been gathered into trains
by the Red Cross surgeons and nurses
and taken to hospitals in the larger

No Poll Tax
For This SO''nty


The county commissioning a ve
passed a resolution doing away With
the 81 90 poll tax against the adult
male population Of the county The
poll tax has probably caused as much
as all other revenues COM
hined. The Law required that mills
aud contractors deduct the tax from
the wages OF their employees who had
been in their service two weeks or
more This was a constant element
OF friction aud in many cases the tax
resulted In the. rel nsal Of workmen to
continue In the service of their EN-
ployers.
'rhis tax has never been a paying
source OF revenue, said Chairman
Downie Of the board of commission
ers. ''The man who pays other
taxes is sure to be compelled TO pay
the poll tax while many escape the
levy who do not pay anything.
We feel that this has worked an In
Justice and has not been profitable
tn the county or the taxpayers. "
