TT is frequently good thing for the salesman, but
much better experience for the factory executive
himself for the superintendent to take trip with the
travelling man once awhile. He ought to be carefully
coached, though because that thing about the goods
being twice as good the samples will not go. The
only entirely safe way would be to arrange a code of
secret signals by which the salesman could advise the
factory man when to talk and when to keep quiet.
Such scheme would have saved goodly part Of fine
bill that Marshall had all but cinched.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Germany's new attack on the
Russian army in the center of the
eastern battle line stood out con-
spicuously today as of chief ina,
mediate importance in the Eu-
ropean war. The sudden assault
of the Germans in Russian Poland
has lent a new aspect to this cam
paign.
Russian military officials admit
a reverse in this territory, and
Berlin is celebrating a great vic
tory. Meanwhile Russia is pro-
ceeding with her other two ad-
ventures in her threefold cam
paign. Her troops to the north,
Petrograd announces, are pene-
trating steadily into East Prussia,
while to the south they are clos
ing in on Cracow, Galicia, in an
attempt to crush the Austrians.
Violent fighting has been re-
sumed within a two-hour motor
ride Of the gates of Paris. At
Tracy-le-Val, where the main bat
tie line from the north swings to
the eastward, at the point nearest
Paris, a German advance led to a
violent encounter. The Germans
attempted to recapture the town,
won by the allies few days ago,
but, according to the French war
office statement today, they were
repulsed with heavy losses.
An official German communica-
ton states that heavy fighting has
been resumed in the Argonne tor
est, around which some of the
most severe encounters of the war
have ragged from time to time dur
ing the last two months. A heavy
loss, it is said, was inflicted on
the enemy.
The general staff of the Rus
sian army which invaded Turkey
announces that the advance of the
Turks has been checked, and that
their troops are now in retreat.
Austria apparently has the up
per hand in her war with Servia.
Reports from Vienna state that
the pursuit of the enemy is being
carried farther and that the Serv-
ian retreat at places is attended
with heavy losses.

Permit Needed In New York.
A. j. DrlScoll stated tnat ne naO Hlaue
a recent investigation as to the sale OF
firearms in New York and a number OF
other large cities. He stated that while
in New York few days ago he de-
cided to MAKE a practical test as to the
working of the law there. He went to
several of the largest department stores
in the city. In only one case did he
find firearms displayed, and when he
attempted to buy them was informed
that he would have to show a permit
from the officials before he would be
allowed to make a purchase. In one
instance the store had no firearms, and
clerks explained that the store could
order them for him, but that he must
first show his permit.
William F. Peabody, the president.
also spoke briefly regarding the re-
striction of the sale Of weapons. He
pointed out some of the dangers and
that numerous fatalities in the past had
been due IN large measure to the facil-
ity with which guns could be obtained.
1t is possible the matter may come up
for further attention at another meet
ing Of the board OF directors, to be
called in the near future for the sole
purpose of making definite plans for
years campaign for safety.
