MAN, THE DESTROYER;
WOMAN, THE PRESERvER

A dispatch from France saying that
women will do much of the work that
was formerly done almost exclusively
by men. calls attention to the impor-
tant fact that women have an active
and a necessary part to perform In
war-a part that is just as important
as that of armies in the field
It has long been an unwarranted
though popular notion that women
play merly passive part in such
times; that their chief occupation is
waiting for news from husband, broth
er, father or sweetheart at the front.
The truth is that in time of war
women serve the common cause ef-
fectively. They work and work hard.
Many of them work at things they
never laid hand to before. They do
much of the work that was formerly
done by men.
By so doing they not only help to
maintain the armies in the field, but
perform the immeasurably more i'm
portant task of keeping the country
from going to rack and ruin while the
more vigorous part of the population
is at war.
They preserve the nation and its
homes so that they will present an
aspect of civilization when the men
come back from battles lost and won.
They maintain what the armies at the
front are seeking to protect.
] If the men at the front constitute
the army for fighting. the women at
home constitute the army for preser-
vation-an operation that is nationally
as important.
Today in Germany. Russia, France.
Austria, women are adding to the mil
itary efficiency of those in front by
helping to keep productive industry
going. They are saving the country
from wreck by performing necessary
tasks
They will not do all the mems WORK
as we'll as the men did it. Much OF
the mems work will perhaps remain
undone But an immense amount Of
work must and will be done, and the
women who remain behind Will do
the most of it.
Imagine what sort OF homes French
men would have returned to after even
the comparatively short war of 1870
II the women had not bravely done
their part Imagine how much longer
II would have taken to raise the mil
lions TO satisfy victorious Germany.
War is not all fighting. Strategy
on the grand scale is made up of fac
tors that, on their surface, seemed far
removed from COZ iection with deci,'Te
operations. Bdt they count as eject
lively as armies in the fled. Spch p
factor is woman's work in war.
All honor TO the women who remain
at home while men march away. pre-
serving what is lef behind. bravely
devoting themselves TO the simple
tasks that are more important than
they seem. wars heroines without
wars folly, mans aids without mans
passion OF destruction,- Chicago Inter

foot of earth. If the soil available
is not such as sheds rain, or if the
region is rainy, shingle roof may be
required but the straw and earth must
not be omitted as they are the best
and cheapest insulating materials that
can be used
The size of the cellars can be fig
ured from the rule that each foot of
floor space piled five feet deep will
carry 200 pounds of potatoes. Cellars
of over 100000 pounds capacity should
be arranged to drive through. Under
that size the extra expense of a sec
ond vestibule. doors, bulkhead and the
extra care required in cold weather
seem hardly to justify the arrange
ment. Dealers warehouses in a re-
gion where potatoes have been han
died in sacks exclusively have been
worked out to pretty well fixed rules.
The second floor is of very little use
and one story and basement is the
common plan. But this plan requires
an elevator and power. If electric
power is not available for the elevator
and the housing of grain or the grind
ing of feed does not require an engine
of some sort it is thought not to be
wise to install an elevator at all

PATRIOTISM IN FRANCE
BECOMES iNTENSEi WAR
PICTURES ARE POPULAR

Paris, Sept "a drawing OF Alsace
a handsome maiden, dying joyfully into
the arms of French soldier, is the
most popular drawing Of the war so
far and il is being reproduced in all
sizes, including postal cards. The war
seems to have paralyzed the artists.
There are many indescribably coarse
postal cards, picturing the German
Emperor as pig, or sausage or
worse. King Albert is the hero of the
war up to date and his photographs
are for sale everywhere. Flags are
worn on lapcls, borne on taxicabs, and
displayed over the door OF almost every
home and shop. There are many more
British flags in Paris than there are
French flags i'm London.

Twelve Producing Companies
Will Have No More Deal
ings with Unions
EXCITEMENT IN CAMP
Operators Today Declare They
Are Through With Two RI
val Organizations

Butte, Mont. Sept. 9.--The "open
shop" went into effect today in Butte
the home for thirty-six years of the
largest union local in the far west.
Some 10000 miners, until recently
members of Butte Miners union No.
/ of the Western Federation of Min
ers, but now divided between that or
ganiZation and the newly formed Butte
Mine Workers Union, were notified
that. from the viewpoint of their en-
ployers. it made no difference whether
they belonged to either organization
or none.
This decision, signed by twelve
companies which represent the copper
output OF Butte, was reached last
night and the town, held in leash by
marshal law, bristled with excitement
when confronted with it.
The employers announce that the
wages and hours of work exicsting un-
der the union contracts will be contin-
ued.
Tho Operators Statement.
The operators statement is as fol-
lows:
The attitude of the Mine Workers
organization toward the employer. as
expressed In their published notices
and i'm the constitution adopted by it,,
puts that organization beyond the pos
sibility of being recognized or dealt
with in any way, and so far as that
organization is concerned the under.
ofu IL nil al
any time in the future, recognize its
jurisdiction or permit ii to interfere in
any way with operations conducted by
any OF them.
so far as the local union of the
Western Federation is concerned il
became apparent Immediately after the
dissension of June 13 that the vast
body OF men employed in the Butte
mines were openly in revolt against
that organization and that they would
not under any circumstances rejoin or
longer be identified with II. During the
intervening period of nearly three
months that organization has demon
strated its inability to assert it's juris-
diction. Indeed, so important had it
become that ii was unable to protect
its own property from destruction, or
offer its members the slightest protec-
tion when organized mobs under the
leadership of officers of Butte Mine
Workers Union deprived such men,
bcrs of employment and drove them by
force from the community.
These mining companies had enter
ed into contracts which, inferentially
at least, gave the Butte Miners union
of the Western Federation of Miners
Jurisdiction over their respective en-
ployes until June /, 1915.
THE earnest desire of these COM
panics has been and always will be
TO live up to every contractual obliga-
tion, but IL is the universal principle
of law and reason that when one par
ty to contract is wholly incapable
of carrying out it's part of the contract
the other party to the contract is re-
leased.
ITO longer recognize the jurisdiction
Of the Butte Miners union would be
equivalent to an endeavor to compel
the employees of these companies
against their will and wish to belong
to n labor organization which the great
majority of them most emphatically
have repudiated.'

MANY ITALIANS IN THE

Lemberg created a deep impression at
Trieste and along the Adriatic coast.

Trieste Italians, numbering 1000, was
virtually annihlated, only sixty-fve

Russians Occupy Passes.
THE Russians have occupied passes
leading to the easiest and most direct
route to BUDAPEST. Buda Pest is
about twice as far from the present
Russian position as has been covered
by them since they left Podolia for
the invasion of Galicia.
"On the east Prussian front, nothing
important has happened during the last
few days, and IL seems evident there
fore that Germany has hurried troops
to the eastern frontier from the west,
not on account of the Russian advance
in East Prussia, but in order to nelp
the Austrians.
THE spirit of the Russian troops is
excellent and events on this frontier
are moving with great rapidity."

For First Time Since Beginning
Of War Situation is "Very"
Satisfactory
INDIAN TROOPS ARRIVE
These Forces At Front Help To
Change Tide In Favor
Of Allies

London. Sept 9.--For the first time
since the beginning of the war an ofli-
cial British report has described the
result of the operations as very" sat
isfactory. Heretofore this adjective has
never been used in any official report.
Lord Kitchener's unknown factor,
heretofore held as a great secret, which
has so altered the situation at the
front. is now known to be the arrival
OF forces from India, consisting of Cwu
divisions of infantry and brigade of
cavalry. dozen Indian potentates
were selected to accompany this force.
British Troops Superior.
An official statement says:
Their superior training and intell-
gence have enabled the British sol
diers to use the open formation with
effect, and thus cope with the vast
numbers employed by the enemy The
cavalry, which has had even more op-
portunities for displaying personal
prowess and address. has definitely
established it's superiority. Field Mar
shal Sir John French's report dwells on
the marked superiority of the British
troops of every arm of the service.
THE cavalry he says, do as they
like with the enemy until they are con-
fronted with twice their numbers. The
German patrols simply fly before our
horsemen. The German troops will not
face our infantry fire. AS regards our
artillery. they have never been OPP
posed by less than three or four times
their numbers
Incidents Of Heroism.
THE following incidents have been
Chateau on Aug. 26 all the officers and
men of one OF the British batteries had
been killed or wounded with the eX-
Ception OF one subaltern and two gun
ners. These continued TO serve one
gun and kept a sound, raking fire. and
came out unhurt from the battlefield.
"On another occasion a portion Of "A
supply column was cut off by dctaCh-
ment of German cavalry. The officer
in charge was summoned TO surrender.
He refused and, starting the motor off
at full speed, dashed safely through
only losing two lorries.
1T is noted that during n rear guard
action on the Guards Brigade on Sept.
!, the Germans were seen giving as
sistance To our wounded.
THE weather has been very hot,
with an almost tropical sun. which has
made long marches trying to the SOL
diers In spite of this, they look well
and hardy, and the horses. in conse-
qucnce OF the amount of hay and oats
in the fields, are i'm excellent condition.
"In short, it may be said that the war,
so far as 1t has advanced, has given
most promising opportunities OF adding
to the reputation of British arms and
of achieving notable and substantial
successes"

were everywhere. Ordinary railway

trains to pass. There was much hustle
