Tho War Balance.-A rough and
ready estimate Of the fortunes Of the
great war at latest accounts is furnish
ed by comparison Of the areas overrun
by the opposing armies in Europe-the
extent to which they have been able to
carry the war into the enemy's country.
The allies occupy Bukowina and
nearly all Of Galica, an area close to
10000 square miles. Elsewhere their
holdings are slight, possibly 300 to 400
square miles in Alsace and 5000 or
more in East Prussia. The total may
be something like $4,000 square miles
though the area varies more swiftly in
the eastern than in the western field.
The German alliance occupies nearly
all Belgium, say 1000 square miles,
and about 5000 square miles in France
How much they have in Poland is
guesswork, but probably no more than
5000 miles. The total is not far from
$4,000 square miles-which a days
news from the eastern field might
greatly increase or diminish.
On balance of hostile population held,
the German arms show more success
full. In spite Of heavy emigration to
Holland, England and France, there are
no less than 6500,000 people left in
Belgium, and the slices Of France and
Poland occupied by German arms are
thickly settled. The Russians in Cali
cia and Bukowina control some 900
900 Hungarian subjects, less war emf
grafton, but the edges Of East Prussia
which they hold are sparsely peopled.
Undoubtedly larger population of the
allies is within the German lines than
the reyerSe-New York World.

CHAPTER VI-Continued.

Without more words Joe turned
back into the woods, and we went
after him. Hidden in low marshy
spot about half a mile from the
house, we came upon the body Of the
dog. It was evident she had been shot
more than that. the carcass was
hacked about in a horrible manner.
What do you say now, Mr.. Evans?"
inquired Joe.
What do say? I say this: When
we find the thief we'll likely find the
marks of Rizpahs teeth on him.
That's what made him mad with
rage, and"-Evans waved his hand.
We returned to breakfast at Mrs.
Rone's cabin. While we were eating,
Evans casually brought out scrap OF
the worsted he had detached from
the nail outside.
"Seen any one with a necker like
that, Mrs. Rone?" he asked.
The young woman glanced at the
bit Of wool. then bent over Danny as
she fed him. When she raised her
head 1 noticed that she looked very
white.
There's more'n one Of that color
hereabouts likely" she replied, with

another glance of studied indifference.
Its not a common pattern of
wool, said Evans. well, you're all
witnesses where 1 got it. I'm off. It's
my business to find the man with the
pink necker."
Evans nodded and swung off
through the door.
November looked at Sally. who is
he. Sally?"
Mrs. Rone's pretty forehead puck
cred into a frown. "Who?"
Pink and gray necker," said Joe
gently.
A rush of tears filled her red brown
eyes.
"Val Black has one like that. I
made it for him myself long ago."
And he has a rifle of some English
make" added November.
Mrs. Rome started. 80 he has,

looked at Joe. To my surprise he
threw back his head and gave one Of
his rare laughs.
WELL" cried Evans, ARE you still
sure that he didn't wear pink
necker?"
'Surer than ever" said Joe, and
began to poke in the ashes.
Evans eyed him for a moment,
transferred his glance to me and
winked. Before long he left us, his
last words being that he would have
his hands on Pink Necker" by night.

"Wumqush."-In the American Mag
azine this new word is given by Gillette
Burgess as one that is very much
needed in the English dictionary.
Wumgush is defined as-An insincere
affection of cordiality; hypocritical
compliments. Woman's fiattery of wo-
men; pretended friendship. A feminine
fb. Do women criticse each other to
their faces? Do they find fault with
their chocolates, their looks. their
clothes, their jests? No, not until the
front door is closed; till then they slob-
ber wumgush, so says this same author.
And yet, if one man offers another a
cigarette, the tobacco may be called
rotten" without peril or danger. Men
have small use for wumgush; their
compliments are profane ridicule and
simulated enmity. A man calls his best
friend damned fool" a woman calls
her worst enemy my dear" Wumgush
is the frothy foam Of society chatter.
Wumgush is the sunshine through
which fly the wasps Of sarcasm.

BELIEVE CITY HAS
NO RIGHT To SETU UP
CIVIL SERVICE HERE
Legislature Must Pass Act Before
Plan Can Be Adopted,
Is Belief
Continued on Page 81

1t is believed Council may soon ask
for an opinion regarding the estab-
fishing of a civil service system in
Harrisburg.
The prevailing impression in legal
and municipal circles is that the pro-
posed movement cannot be carried out
in Pennsylvania third class cities An
act of Assembly will be necessary, it is
believed, before any of the third class
municipalities can adopt the plan.
In his annual message to Council,
Mayor Royal suggested that O. civil
service plan be applied here, so those
city employees who serve long and
faithfully may have a chance to re-
main on their jobs and not be sub
ject to personal choice of the depart
mental head.
The question of whether or not
Councilmen elected for a term of but
two years can have jurisdiction over
those city employees who will be under
the next administration, is the chief
obstacle, it is held.
Why asked one well-known at
torney in reply to a question on the
subject, what under the present con-
ditions would prevent the Council of
two years from now, or of two years
later, from setting aside such an ordi-
nance or regulation that may be made
by this Council?"
Ever since Mayor Royal recon-
mended the inauguration of the civil
service system there has been no little
talk on the subject. But the question
of it's feasibility without the practical
backing of a State law has always
caused the hitch.

PointbIank charge was made on the
door of Council to-day by Commits
Hioner w. II. Lynch that a street fore
man serving under the old Royal ad-
ministration-a foreman who has been
deposed-had taken active part po-
Htically in the Fall primary and gen.
eral elections to the extent of passing
out cards bearing candidates names
among the street laborers of the High
way Department.

ments made this afternoon when

ployes not otherwise provided for un-
der the Clark act on March /.

vote of to 2. Commissioners
Lynch, Bowman and Taylor voted in
the affirmative. GorgaS and Royal
voted against it.
Following the vote on the resolution
Mayor Royal offered a petition from
the members of the police force who
ask to be retained and then followed
that with a resolution providing for
the retention of the whole force from
Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison down.

sioner Lynch. is to so into effect

week.
Charges and charges

wrestled with +he problem and there
were several charges and counter
charges. Some Inconsistencies were
developed incidentally, too.
