TURKISH TROOPS
DEMORAL|ZED BY
RUSSIAN At TACK

advices declare the Turkish army is
partly demoralized by the suddenness
of the Russian attack which disar-
ranged all the army councils stra-
tegic plans. The Turks expected the
Russians would be caught short OF
troops in Caucasia and had prepared
several columns with which to strike
Instead, however, the Russians, with
out waiting for any formal exchange
OF declarations of war, threw four
flying columns across the border into
Armenia. Today the strongest of
these, after decisively defeating the
Turkish border guard, is pushing
rapidly forward towards Erzerum. A
second column which took Fort Bay
azet after three hours of fighting, is
also moving into the interior. The
Turks, reduced to the necessity of
fighting a defensive campaign, are
now reorganizing their lines and are
diverting troops originally intended
for operations against the British in
Egypt towards Armenia.
The Turkish army concentrated at
Kalakillissa, Gindin and Arsap, has
moved back from those positions to
others, the location of which is not
revealed. The bombardment Of the
Dardenelles forts by Anglo-French
fleets at long range continues, while
one small magazine is understood to
have been exploded The damage up
to the present time has not been
great.
The Turks are reserving their fire
and have responded with only few
shots.

the Belgians unintentionally to vio-

The strategic plans provide for
depth which will make 1t impossible
to move artillery and not deep enough

entity, have turned too much into the
Yser territory and the Germans will
endeavor to benefit thereby. Mean
while the fighting in that section has
settled down to an artillery duel in

On the other portions of the line
the fghting is of the most desperate

Forest Fire at
Spa Springs is
Cause of Alarm

A forest fire broke out at Spa
Springs late last night and but for
the favorable wind that drove the
blaze westward, would have threat
ened the destruction of considerable
property in that vicinity. However,
the wind drove the blaze away from
the dwellings and burned themselves
out at the edge of the woods.
How the woods were ignited could
not be learned but 1t is thought the
same causes were working that have
set fire to the woods in other parts of
the state and caused the forest blaze
to rage for the past few days uncon-
trolled in several parts of New Jer-
sey. Fire wardens, assisted by men
sent by the state. are earnestly COM
batting the flames. but with seeming
little avail.
A number of pedestrians and peo-
pie In automobiles saw the blaze in
the woods near Cutters farm at Spa
Springs last night. and many who
lived nearby feared the disastrous re-
suits which would have been caused
II the flames had been driven east
ward instead of westward. The IA
vorable wind drove the fire to a clear
ing on the west where they died out.
The residents are hoping for rain so
that the dry leaves and underbrush
will not again become ignited and
threaten the dwellings in the vicinity.

be distinguished from her sister by a
greater measure of the love of youth

The workingman seldom looses his
respect for the barmaid as woman
worker; 1t is reserved for the man
about town to be without all sense of
honor or chivalry to women. Young
and pretty girls are deliberately chos-
en- for the West End saloons which
are the resorts of dissolute men ana
fallen women, because the inexperienc-
ed girl attracts the men. They are
given no protection by their employers.
Two great evils of the present sa-
loon system are pointed out by the
report. One is the long hours affecting
the health of both men and women
and leading to excessive drinking. The
other is the exploitation of young
girls which is responsible for their
degradation. One reform proposed is
that no girl under the age of 81 shall
be employed after s o'clock, except on
the premises of her parent, and anoth-
err is that the bar shall be a more fit
place for both men and women.

teas and high balls and tangoing ga
lore, but what they are going to do
for the old soldier more than to march
him hot and tired and limping through
dusty streets, is conspicuously absent"
A Confederate reunion, as it's name
implies, is supposed to be for the bene-
fit and pleasure of the old soldiers of
the Confederacy, but it's mighty little
pleasures the "vets" get out of these
annual gatherings.
At their age of life pink teas and
tango dances do not appeal to the men
these reunions are supposed to honor.
They had much prefer to gather
around the camp fires and fight over,
in their imagination, the battles in
which they took part a half century
ago. But this pleasure is denied them
when the bellies and beaux pre-empt
the major portion of the time allotted
for tango teas and pink waltzes and
leave the "vets" to amuse themselves
as best they can.
It's about time that this sort of fool
ishness was cut out and the few re-
naming members of the thin grey
line" be allowed to gather in peace
and live over the days that were in a
manner that suits their own pleasure
and convenience.
