FRANKLIN PEOPLE
 ARE DOING THINGS

There are a good many indications that business is in general better now than Il was d year ago. On September l the H H. Franklin Mfg. Co. reduced the working hours in it's factory from ten to nine hours per day, at the same time increasing the rates so the pay of the men remained the same.
 The production of automobiles now and as planned for the year, is greater than ever before. and the demand is far exceeding that of last year. This IS q visible proof that conditions in the United States are in pretty good shape, as Franklin cars are practically all sold in this country.
 The reason, in the opinion of the Franklin company, for the improved business situation over that of last year is the large crops and the gener- ally healthy condition of the country at large due to the conservative buSi- ness year just passed.

The Lion

It's a proven fact that the majority of people who go to moving picture shows like comedies and patrons of the Lion will see two good comedies today. "A Joke on Jane is a very clever, clean comedy in which Marga- rite Fischer and Harry Pollard play the leading roles. It's too bad that more productions of this kind are not made, for they are fully enjoyed by all The Keystone comedy today is called Love and Bullets" and is typical Keystone with smash and bang that makes you laugh out loud. Cameo of the Yellowstone" a two- reel western picture, completes the bill. which provides good entertain ment.

Particularly Well Balanced Bill

The line of vaudeville which is be- ing offered this week at the Elm press will appeal to all classes of vaudeville fans. It is seldom that a bill that is as varied and at the same time as well balanced as this one is brought to the city, and judging from the increased attendance nightly, the patrons are quick to appreciate real merit The show is a clean one, and the comedy that is used is really re- freshing From song and dance to extreme eccentric acrobatics is the gamut run, and each act is a head liner in it's class This coupled with the excellent work of the orchestra makes a really good show and one that is bound to please the most critical.
 The moving picture program un- derwent a complete change last night, and offers a very interesting drama as well as an educational release through the Pathe studios that finds instant approval.

Kingdom OF Hanover.

One hundred years ago the electo-
rate of Hanover, in northwestern Ger
many, was erected into kingdom,
with King George III of England as
occupant of the throne. For many
years thereafter the monarchs of
Great Britain continued to be the
rulers of Hanover. Upon the success
sion of William ~ the Hanover title
went to the second son of George ",
duke of Cumberland. as, under the
Salic law, Victoria was debarred from
the succession in Hanover In 1866
the kingdom of Hanover was abol-
ished by Prussia and the reigning
family retained the title of dukes of
Cumberland alone. They were also
heirs to the duchy of Brunswick, but
as they would not surrender their
claim to the kingdom of Hanover they
were estopped by Prussia from &C.
cupying the duchy until a compare
lively recent date, when the young
duke of Brunswick married the daugh-
ter of the German empsyor and was
allowed to resume his position as the
reigning duke of Brunswick.

FOUND TIME FOR AMENITIES
How British and Beers Exchanged
Compliments During the Long
Siege of Kimberley.

During the Boer war Mr.. Rhodes
was shut up in Kimberley, and the
Beers constantly shelled the town with
longrange artillery. They were not
very successful, for with 800 big shells
they only killed IL people.
Meantime, Mr.. Rhodes accomplished
the extraordinary feat of getting
cannon built at his works inside thu
town. 1t was a regular modern rified
gun, and fired shells-also homemade
on each of which was stamped.
with compliments of C. j. Rhodes"
The Beers themselves were not with
out sense of humor. During Christ
mas, 1899, they were besieging Lady
smith, and on Christmas eve they fired
ten plugged shells into the town each
with a piece of plum pudding inside.
and each bearing the words, With the
seasons compliments"
Two of the shells were found by the
garrison, and it was discovered that,
like Mr.. Rhodes, they were home
made, having been cast in foundry
at Johannesburg.

Germans Had Only to Walk in and

Them victory-Vivd Picture
of Bloody Conflict.
BY FRANCIS M'CULLAGH.

Correspondent Chicago Daily News.
Petrograd, Russia.-The German ad-
vance on Warsaw was achieved as
result of that most difficult operation
known as change of front, performed
with marvellous speed and efficiency.
The transfer of one-fourth of the Ger
man army from Belgium to Poland
was the least of the difficulties that
were overcome. Far greater was the
establishment of GRAPES (shelters)
and lines of communication in hostile
territory. The Germans not only over
came these difficulties, but conceived
mastery Elan of attacking War
saw and very nearly carried it to sue
cess
Grand Duke Nicholas expected a
German advance from East Prussia
eastward on Grodno or southwark on
Warsaw and had prepared for these
movements with General Rennen-
kampff's army west of Grodno and All
other army at Kevno. Warsaw was
defended on the north by the for
tress of Novogeorgeievsk and power
full army
Attack Comes Through Swamps.
The grand duke did not expect an
attack from the south, where there
are swamps, the worst wagon roads
in Europe and few railways. But it
was from the south that General Won
Morgen came.
In all there were four German
groups One, from Thorn, lombard
ed Plotsk, but retreated, this being
only a demonstration. Two groups ad-
vanced from Kalisz and Chenstokhov
and uniting at Skiernevitzy, moved
on Warsaw with binding rapidity. The
fourth group, from Cracow, attacked
Radon and then Ivangorod, where the
object was to cross the Vistula, thus
outfianking the Russian army at War
saw and compelling it's retreat.
The whole Austro-German battle
fror.t was 462 miles in length, ex-
tending from the Baltic to the Carpa-
thians and therefore the battle of the
Vistula in the middle of October was
in some respects the greatest ever
fought. l confine myself to a descrip-
ton of what / saw with my own eyes.
Had Only to Walk In.
Warsaw was absolutely lost on the
evening of October IL. The Germans
had only to walk in and take it. But
they delayed, probably waiting for
the fourth German force to cross at
Ivangorod
Next day the Russians had more
troops, and within a week they had
ten corps, or 100000 men, south of
Warsaw, and as General Won Nor
gems force was threatened from both
TANKS, he fell back October 20, with
amazing skill and rapidfty.
/ was able to see all the fighting on
the extreme front because of my
friendship with Russian officers formed
during the Manchurian war. From the
station of Prushkov, six miles south
of Warsaw, / travelled the whole Rus
sian line. The Germans were driven
from Prushkov few hours before my
visit but fighting continued on the
outskirts.

sedan chairs. with drawn curtains.
Also, foot binding has been practical
ly discontinued, and the girls whose
feet have already been tortured out OF
shape are now trying to spread them
out.
Another mark of emancipation lie
the almost entire disappearance of
queues. In the Chinese quarter OF
Shanghai it was even carried SO far
that II man refused to sacrifice his
queue the soldiers would seize him
and cut 1t off. 1t was rather curious
that the only queues In evidence were
worn by the servants Of foreigners.
They chung to the old idea somehow.
Strange Strest Costumes.
IF you want to see extraordinary
street costumes you should see the
streets of Shanghai since the revolu-
ton. About half the men wear Euro
pean clothes Of strange and hybrid
breed; the rest are In the beautiful
native costume, but many with any
sort Of hat from silk tile to Jockey
cap. Lots of little girls about sixteen
or eighteen are trotting about and
their regular costume consists of a
short gayly embroidered mandarin
coat, reaching about to the hips; skin
tight trousers Of satin, light blue or
pink, with black patent leather pumps.
Their hair they wear braided and
tied up with black taffeta bows, while
over one eye is perched a cap which
is a cross between jockey cap and a
chauffeur's hat, generally made Of
some sort of checked stuff These lit
tie ladies stroll up and down with
their hands in their pockets, for all
the world like the matinee crowd in
an American city.
Even the better class of women are
making changes in their dress. Many
of them are wearing gauze skirts over
their trousers and any number have
changed the arrangement of their
