London, Aug. 24.-According to the
Times Venice correspondent, the Of
.,cial telegraph agency in Vienna pub
fishes the following official notice on
the Austro-Servian situation.
"On account Of the Russian inter.
vention In the Servian war Austria is
forced to gather all its forces for the
principal struggle in the northeast.
Consequently the attack on Servia is
henceforth looked upon as a punitive
expedition and not as definite war.
"The decision therefore has been
reached to retire from the offensive
and take up waiting attitude, meet.
ing a fresh attack when opportunity
presents itself. The considerable
losses sustained by Austria on the
banks of the Drina are not surprising
in view of the superiority of the num-
bers of the enemy and the fact that
the latter are lighting for their exist
ence."

FEAR TO TRUST THE MARRIED
Men In High Place Give the Best Po-
sitions to the Bachelors, for
UnsalIant Reasons.

The stars in their courses seem to
be lighting against the married man,
says the San Francisco Argonaut. 1t
appears that he is now to be dscrim-
mated against on the ground that he
is certain to impart trade secrets to
mis- wife, who, as we ali know, is equal
ly certain to impart them in her own
peculiar ways to the world at large.
The latest employer to join this I'M
holy league against the married man,
and thus to increase the natural per;ls
of his position, is Sir Thomas Upton
His only chance to win the America
cup is to preserve inviolable secrecy
as to the design Of his new yacht. and
he is therefore rigid in his decision
that only bachelors need apply for
work in his yard.
Another impenitent offender in this
respect is Lord Kitchener, who not
only refuses to have any married mau
on his staff in time of war, but VINO
promptly removes from his staff any
officer guilty of matrimony during
active service. 1t seems, therefore,
that the old charge against women Of
inability to keep a secret must be en-.
larged Not only are they themselveJ
incapable of keeping a secret, but they
decline to allow their husbands to
DO SO.

Uncle Sam viii Test Your Watch

Uncle Sam VIII Test Your Watch.
Regular testing Of watches for the
public was inaugurated by the United
States bureau Of standards recently,
Cnus taking up the testing and Certiii-
cation of watches in u similar manner
to that carried on by the New Cbserya-
tory in England the Besancon ob-
servatory in France and the Geneva
and Neuchatel observatories in Swift
zerland. Preliminary tests upon the
various types and makes Of American
watches have already been made, the
results of which have been the mOdili-
cation of European testing methods
and the establishment of certain stand
ards of tolerances for practical serv-
ice. The possession of a government
certificate will enable the owner of a
certified watch" to know that ne has
a timepiece which conforms to the
average and reasonable performances
of high-grade adjusted watches The
fees for tests will merely cover the
actual cost of the trials
