WOMAN TO STICK TO HUSBAND
WHO SKIPPED TOWN
In a sad little home at 1852 Jack
son Park avenue, Mrs. George M.
Walsh is nursing her sick baby and
trying to arrive at her Great Decision.
Her husband skipped Tuesday. The
next day representatives of the Pack
ard Automobile Co., where he was
employed as auditor, came to the
house and informed her that her hus-
band was short $1,000.
The company's agents took $50;
all the money she had. Now the girl
wife has nothing for herself or the
baby. She doesn't know just who to
blame.
She has before her the example
set by Mrs. Frank Henning, wife of
the young Schaumberg banker, who
turned her back on her husband the
moment he got in trouble, and on
the other hand she has the example
of Mrs. Angela Whelan, who stuck to
her husband after he had gotten into
trouble.

Walsh through her tears, 81 believe

and worked for six months as clerk

kill.
One of the private detectives sus-
pected the boy, and when he was no
longer able to stand working in Som

Stroudsburg and became his friend
and confident until he wormed
enough of the story out of the boy to
arrest him.

Washington, Dec. 10-Steel cars in passenger-train service should be re quired by law, the interstate com merce commission says in it's an nual report made public here today It also declares that the use in passenger trains of wooden cars be- tween Or in front of steel cars should be prohibited.
 The commission is desirous of mak- ing the railroad hours-of-service act more stringent and proposes that the penalty for violations of this act be changed to fixed and definite sum Or that minimum penalty of $1O0 be established instead of the penalty of "not to exceed $500' as now pro- vided.
 The report hints that the railroads are covering instances of excess sery- ice by the excesses of "bro'len draw bars" "leaky flues." and "hot boxes" "
 "Sixty-three train accidents were investigated by the commission dur ing the year ended June 30 1914.' says the report "Forty of these ac- cidents were collisions and 23 were derailments. They caused the death of 169 and the injury of 2.134 persons. The collisions investigated were re- sponsible for 10S deaths and 1,162 in- juries and the derailments caused 61 deaths and 972 injuries. Thirteen ot these collisions, causing 59 deaths and 442 injuries, occurred where the block system was in use, and "A col ljsions, involving GA deaths and 713 injuries, occurred under the train order system. Three collisions causing deaths and injuries, oc- cured in yard movements where the system of train operation was not a factor.

 Says Expert.
S500,C00,000 A YEAR
Judging From Orders Received Since War Began, Federal Trade Expert Says Year of War Will Send
 Millions Here,

Washington, Dec. 10.-One year oi the European war will add $500 000,- 900 to the foreign commerce of the United States, declares Edward T Pratt, chief of the federal bureau oi foreign and domestic commerce, who has just completed study of the re- ports of American representatives abroad. The estimate is based on the increase since the war started. The figures for November are not available but Mir. Pratt estimates that a trade balance in favor of the United States of $70,000,00O will be shown for that month alone.
 The first country to seek American goods was Russia, who placed large orders for machine tools with manu featuring companies whose orders from 1Ec belligerent powers alon@ amount to $15,000, 900. Russia's action was quickly followed by England and France, who are buying heavily from America. UK
 South American countries are also placing large orders in the United States, says MT. Pratt, who looks for ward to the greatest foreign business the country has ever handled.

Washington, Dec. l0.--For upwards of five hours today the house naval committee piled Secretary Daniels with questions intended to obtain reasons for his adherence 10 two battleship program, and to develop the navy's weakness. if as had been al legged, il is weak in some of it's com poncnt parts.
 Admitting that he would favor four battleShips, if the revenues of the government would permit the secretary insisted that the continuance of the usual yearly program was keeping the United States in "a strong position among the naval powers. The admin istration's naval program, to which the committee is asked to give It's approval, includes two dreadnauehts six dcstroyCrs. eight submarines Cone of the sea-going type), one gunboat and enc collier.
 Throughout the hearing Secretary Daniels laid stress on the fact that this year every dollar that is appro- priatod should he devoted to fighting ships alone.

 "You cannot build battleships in a day" replied MT. Daniels. With re- gard to the auxiiaries there will be little trouble, as they can be impro- vised in an emergency, but with this program of the departments and an equipment steadily increasing, think we are in a very good position

PRESIDENT WILSON
 ON RED GROSS SEALS
Particularly Interesting Way to Give People Chance to Aid Fight on White Plague.

AS an expression of his interest in the Red Cross Seal and Anti-Tuber- culosis campaign, President Wilson recently wrote to the National associ- ation for the study and prevention of tuberculosis:
 May I not take this occasion to ex- press to you my deep interest ill the work of the National Anti-Tuberculos- is association and my hope that it's work is growing in efficiency and ex- tent from year to year? May l not particularly express my interest in the Red Cross Christmas seal whose sale has been the means of raising funds for the work? It seems to me that this is a particularly interesting and sensible way of enabling the peo- ple of the country to give this great work their support"

LOSE ARMENTIERRES.
Germans Driven Back Before British Advance Oi 19 Miles.

London. Dec. 1G.-The Germans have been driven out of Armentierres, and the allies have occupied the town of Roulers, from which the invaders were forced 10 withdraw because of the fury of the allies bombardment. according to unofficial reports reach- ing here from Sluis in Holland
 No confirmation of the report has reached London, but the dispatch is passed by the censor without com- ment.
 The capture of Roulers represents an advance of 12 miles from Ypres.
 It follows the retaking of Paaschen- dale by the British troops co-operat- ing with the French in turning movement against the Germans, the primary object of which was the cov- ering of the important position of Menin, on the Lys.
 Main headquarters of the German center army were established In Reuters until three days ago, when the allies batteries. which had been brought up to the east of Paaschen- dale, began terrific bombardment of the town.
 Armentierres fell before the British attack on Tuesday, says the unofficial account of the allies latest successes in Flanders. It's capture is important, as it served to cut the Germans off from their supply communication nec- essary to the continuation of their operations north of Arsas. Armenti- erres is southwest of Ypres, and about nine miles northwest of Lille.

reduced last Thursday afternoon,
when a total Of about $50 men
were let out.

ties of the company Norrie, 50;
East Norrie, 175; Pabst, 500 Au-
rora, $50; Puritan, So
No reductions in the working
force were made at the Davis, Cen
eva or Tilden properties. as the
work being done at these proper
ties is chiefly exploratory, and
there is no great amount OF ore in
stock.
The reductions in the working
force at these properties was made
necessary by The fact that all the
available stock pile room has been
filled, and with the extra large
force that the company has been
employing for some time the ore
was being hoisted faster than it
could be shipped direct from the
pockets.
The Oliver company has been
employing for several months, the
largest force in the history Of its

tions have been made, there are
