There appears at the present time

German army is still intact and ii
must be crushed by the allies before
the victory is complete.
1t is also noted by military experts
that on the German left lies Metz,
the capital of Lorraine and the chain
of forts lying between Metz and Did
enhofen. This, together with the
dense forests along the course of the
| Moselle river and the strategic roads,
provides an excellent location for
defensive action on the part of the
Germans, should the French follow the
pursuit this far.

Russian Victories in GaIicia

The messages that come from the
other theaters of war in East Prussia,
Galicia and Russian Poland are no
more encouraging to the German peo-
pie than the news that is filtering
through to them from France. In Ca
licfa, particularly, a great disappoint-
ment was meted out to the Germans
when the Austrian forces failed to
hold the advance of the Russian hosts
For a time the Austrians did keep the
Russians from Galicia, but this was
because Of the poor railroad facilities
in Russia for transporting troops to
the border.

PROBLEM FOR THE MAIDENS
In Hot Weather VIII They Have to

ner:

The winter fashions were really

stock minds. Nothing shocks me.
But in the evening, at the Nice
County club dances, young girls
would wear sleeveless gowns that left
the back quite bare from the waist
up. They could say truly-ha, ha, ha!
that they hadn't a stitch to their
backs, Ell? And In the afternoon at
the dansants young girls would wear
gowns that were either slashed to
the knee, or else that were-a still
subtler device-transparent to the
knee, permitting the slim and silken
limb to CLEAN through a panel Of lace
or tulle.
"A western millionaire at the Ne.
gresco, in Nice, on seeing his three
daughters in gowns of this radical
type, gave a loud laugh one day last
winter and said:

State Treasurer Declines to Pay Fur

MISUNDERSTANDING forestry pro-

supreme court. The constitutionality
of the forestry law, has been raised
as to whether forestry work is not an
internal Improvement prohibited by
the constitution and the forestry land
contracts debts that exceed the limita-
ton Of 100000 fixed by the constitu-
ton. Under present plans the state
forestry reserve would ultimately COM
prise about 100000 acres.
The state treasurer has declined to
make further payment until these
points are settled. The forestry de-
partment as represented by Atty-Gen.
Owen. The questions at issue are:
Cd Are the land contracts made
by the forestry department in the pur-
chase of land debts in violation of the
constitution?
(2) Is the practice of forestry a
public purpose?
90 Is the entire forestry work as
internal improvement and as such pro.
hibited by the constitution?
The suit is a friendly one to test the
validity of the law and it's purposes.

efficiency OF A FREELY
Artificial IIluminant Very Poor Second
to That of the Natural
Organisms.

1t Is sometimes said that if we could
arrive at the secret of the firefly-or
Of the other organisms which produce
physiologic light--we should have
reached great economic discovery,
because the light has such an extrOr-
binary high efficiency. In other words,
all the energy expended in producing
it goes to make light, and not heat.
The efficiency has been estimated at
SO per cent by Ives and COblentz, and
even higher by Langley and Very.
This is the more remarkable when it
is considered that the best artificial
illuminant has luminous efficiency of
only 4 per cent, and most of them
reach only about 1 per cent, the re-
naming SO per cent of the energy go
ing to produce heat or other subordi-
nate effects. But even if we should
discover the means by which the fire.
fly produces its lights we should
scarcely care to use it in our homes.
Professor McDermott in a recent study
of the subject observes that while the
insect has indeed reached the highest
possible radiant efficiency it has only
accomplished at at a sacrifice of color
that makes the light much worse than
the mercury vapor arc. Anything not
within very limited range of yellow
and green tones would appear black.

Smooth-Faced Wisdom.

President Wilson is the first bare
faced occupant of the White House
since President Mckinley Indeed.
-hese have been the only smooth
faced presidents since the Civil war.
The faces of the most conspicuous
members Of the cabinet are whisker-
less, as is the mobile countenance of
the speaker d the house. The SEN
sible fashion / especially noticeable
in the medical profession, owing to
he fact that formerly its members re
garded whiskers as an Indispensable
part of their equipment, on par with
the stethoscope and clinical thermom-
etcr and odor OF carbolic acid. The
Idea then was, Of course, to look old.
Now they try to appear young. Other
business and professional men are fol-
lowing the example Of the doctors,
much to the qualification of the bar
bers and razor manufacturers. 1t Is
not likely that we shall soon again see
he day when whiskers cover multi
,ude of chins.

Some time ago Walter Shaw, known
as one of GARDENERS most persistent
wags, wrote letter to the New York
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty

the way the government men in charge

wild animals. Just to cite one in
stance, he said, these scoundrels did
not give the poor bears anything to
eat during the entire winter, when the
whole park is blanketed with snow.
