DIFFERENT JUSTICE FOR
RICH AND POOR IN BELGUJN

Brussels, May 12.-The glaring con.
trast in the different brands of JUS
tice handed out to the rich and poor
in Belgium is being severely denoun-
ced by the labor press, the following
being among the many recent instan-
ces cited.
In the local prison a rich banker
is awaiting trial for having shot two

toned the Minister of Justice to be
allowed, to see his dying child, and
the request was promptly granted. In
the same prison was a VIC. kman

decoration. When he petitioned to be
allowed to visit his dying mother,
whose house was situated only a few
yards from the prison, the request
was refused. The poor woman died
alone, and two days later the son

My Lady Fashion used to mock
The simple peasant in his smock,
But now, midst garden hollyhock,
Or on the farm among the stock,
And round the house with pan and
crock
She thinks it smart to wear a smock--
She mimics where she used to mock.
New York, May 15.-There really
seems to be a sort of ''back to the
farm" movement among the fashions.
There's a perfect craze for quaint
smocks of colored linen cut exactly
like those affected by honest Gardenet
Gray, and all the other perfectly good
old English tenantry.
It's far cry from a thatched cot
tage in rural England to an apart
ment or house in an American city,
but the smock adapts itself beautiful
ly as we'll as artistically to all the
modern improvements and looks even
more delectable on a peach than a
peasant.
Modelled on the same loose lines as
the actual peasant smocks, they reach
to the knees and are made of loose
woven linen in lovely shades of old
blue, old rose, leaf green, orange, or
in fact any shade you want them.
Their round turned-over collars and
cuffs may be of contrasting shade !
or the same material and the smock- |
ing that characterizes the yoke in
front, or back, or both, as you choose,
is prettiest caught with thread of
blending colors. /
They are indeed chaming as well
as a practical adjunct to your sum |
mer wardrobe, either to slip on when
you "come into the garden Maude"
and dig among your posies or to wear
just around the house in lieu of a
regulation apron effect.
Of course we long ago reveled in
the charm of the smock and smock-
ing for the kiddies, and artists dis
covered their practicability for stu-f
dio- work, but, now that they have
been offered for general consumption,

FEW PRIMARY SCHOOLS
IN RUSSIAN POLAND

! London, May 14.-"There are few
er primary schools in Russian Poland
than there were at the beginning of
| the 10th century," says a statement
issued today by the Poland Polish
Bureau here on the authority of the
National Council of Poland, dealing
with conditions in that country for
which the Russian government is held
responsible.
For two million children of school
age there are only 4,316 available
schools, according to the latest .cen-
sus, and these are able to accommo-
date only ia per cent of the chill
dren," declares the statement. "Thel
Russian government not only looks
with disfavor upon primary educa-
tion in Poland, but actually does all
in its power to prevent and hinder
its development. Educational soeie-
ties and associations are suppressed
as soon as formed, as was the Ma
ciorz Polska,' which established, dur
ing the nine months of it's existence
more than 900 primary schools. Only
recently the government suppressed
great society for scientific educa-
ton with a membership of tens of
thousands. Numbers of well inten- |
toned people persons have been i'm
prisoned for no greater offense than
that of teaching the rudiments of the /
Polish language and religion to such
few children as they could gather
around them.
"The fate of Polish journalists is
no better If they dare to write on
the most commonplace and non-poli-
tical questions or even report speeches
made by Polish deputies in the Duma,
they are fined or sent to prison. More
than 100 such cases were reported
in the past year.
an spite of its policy of strict
surveillance and rigid repression, the
Russian government has shown it
self either unwilling or unable to
maintain even the sembhnce of law
and order in Poland No less than
5000 outrages-in many cases muir
ders-were committed by bandits in
1913, and rarely were the culprits
caught or punished. The fearful pre-
valence of crime in this country may
be understood when it is explained
that the police (as in the case of
Rycaj, the chief of the bandittD are
often in league with the criminals,
who thus receive the protection in
stead of punishment of the law. /
"The taxes imposed in Poland are
generally II per cent higher than in
the rest of the Russian Empire, and
during the past year the Imperial
treasury profted to the extent of
S25 100000 by taxes wrung from the
Poles, poor and rich alike. Improve
ments in national services, as in ma
tional conditions, are unknown in
Poland, and although Russia raises
heavy loans abroad for the construc-
ton of railways in her own indus.

to the Poles to build a new. railway
line in their. own country. 2s 4
"a law has been passed by the I'm
perial Duma which purports to estab-
lish form of municipal autonomy
in Poland, but entirely excludes tie
use of the Polish language in council
meetings. To realize the injustice of
this act it must be understood that
the population of the kingdom of Po-
land, with the exception of the Jews,
is wholly Polish, and that in the pro-
vincial towns there are an enormous
nupll er of Poles who know no other
tongue than their own"

The French and British, like the

tied down for the stern fight which
threatens to be even longer and
moro sanguinary than the battle OF

Progress is being made at some

that they officially confirmed the re-
port that the Germans have received
reinforcements from Lorraine.
There were a few isolated encoun-

have abandoned the rash movement
across the open which marked the
early stages of the war. Obviously
the deadly machine guns have
taught a lesson.

regiment, upon an order to advance
and take a German position, knelt
for a moment in prayer, Tho men
knowing their charge was to be ter
rible in cost, sprang to their feet
und with fixed bayonets clambered
out OF the shelter Of the trench.
In short and rapid rushes they ad-
vanced in wide open order, altern-
ately lying down and then making
another dash of 15 yards. From
the German position came the thick
hail of the machine guns and the
attacking soldiers hurrahed and
sang as they pressed forward.
Many fell with cries of determin-
alton on their lips. Finally those
who remained OF the regiment
reached and took the German posi-
tion after a desperate hand to hand
