BATTLE TURNS
TO: RUSSIANS
Preparing Attack on
Western Front.

London, Nov. 24.-The battle in
the region between the Vistula and
Warta rivers in Poland appears to
have turned in favor of the Russians.
A special dispatch from Petrograd to
Paris says the Russian army already
has won a decisive victory. While
this may be an exaggeration, both
the Russian and the German official
reports suggest that Gen. Won Hinden-
burg's second thrust at Warsaw has
been checked.
Grand Duke Nicholas, commander
in-chief of the Russians, for two days
in succession has recorded partial
successes and tonight the German
general staff says the arrival of Rus
sian reinforcements has postponed a
decision. Both sides ahve expressed
the greatest confidence nthe out
come. Grand Duke Nicholas and
Gen. Won Hindenburg heretofore have
been so successful in their strategy
taht their adherents look upon them
as almost unbeatable.

The public utilities commission has
authorized Chairman E. A. Mott-Smith

by the commission toward giving fur.
Their impetus to the pending approval
by congress of acts 135 and 1876 of
the session laws Of 1913 of the terri
tory.
Act 1856 relates to the Rapid Tran
sit, while the other provides that GER
tain duties performed by the superin-
tendent. of public works be transferr'
ed to and performed by the public
utilities commission. With regard to
companies holding franchises, these
acts vary according to the nature OF
franchise. There are things of spc'
cific nature which the public utilities
commission should have jurisdiction
over" said Chairman Mott-Smith this
morning, "but even without the ap-
proyal of these acts by congress, the
commission still has the right to in.
yestigate the business of the compan-
les involved therein. Congress is TAX;
ing it's time about approving the acts,

PROMOTION COMMITTEE
PLANNING ELABORATE
CARNIVAL DECORATION

An elaborate decoration which
will serve to approximately set off the
offices of the Promotion Committee on
Bishop street during Carnival week is
being planned by the members OF the
committee and will be brought up for
discussion at their meeting at $3.50
o'clock this afternoon in the Stangen-
valid building. 1t is the idea OF the
committee to have every tourist who
visits here during the celebration call
at the office and receive any informa-
ton and literature which he or she
may desire concerning the islands, and
it is believed an attractive decoration
will serve to assist the committee in
carrying out this point -
In behalf of the Trail and Noun
tain Club, the committee will discuss
the feasibility of having prepared a
number of signs to be placed on the
various trails on Oahu for the accom-
mediation of tramping parties. Is.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Real Cause Of Judge Foger's Breakdown

I first met Judge Charles ]. Folger
shortly after his arrival In Wash
ington as the successor of William
Window, as secretary of the treas
ury in the cabinet Of President Ar
thur. l found him to be a man OF
charming personality. His cordiality
set every visitor at ease upon the oc-
casion Of a first visit. He was q
handsome man. His features were
regular. His eyes were large and
very expressive. and the story Of
intellectual power, supplemented by
personal integrity, was written plain
~ upon his features.
Judge Folger had been but short
time cl1ief justice of the Court of
Appeals of New York having been
appointed by Governor Alonzo 3.
Cornell to fill vacancy by the death
of Chief Justice Sanford e. Church.
[ knew that Judge Folger's career
had been almost exclusively occupied
with practice of the law and with
judicial posts, remembering only that
he had served at one time for single
term as a member of the New York
State Senate.
] intimated to him my interest in
his willingness to yield the great hon
or OF chief justice Of New York State
to accept the Office Of secretary OF
the treasury, great as that office is,
but subject to political changes.
Judge Folger said in reply that
many Of his friends had forgotten
that President Grant in the early
part Of his first administration had
appointed him assistant secretary OF
the treasury in authority over the
subtreasury of New York city.

urer Of the United States" said Judge

scheme secured a full house at every
performance. Admission to the plays
was free-that is a ticket would be
given away with every ticket bought
at the Victoria Theatre and also with
every shillings' worth Of sweetmeats
bought at q neighborlng shop. The
fact that four shillings bought only
an ounce of sweetmeats and that a
share of the price of every ticket sold
at the Victoria went to the credit or
the Strand, did not spoil the i'll sion
of the public that they were being ad-
mitted free at the Strand.

of Mrs. Waylet's most successful
songs, such as Away to the Noun

and their friendship ripened through
their work together. Although Mrs.

More than once in this place the
amaze which seizes the returner to

measurably, for wonder so great can

1t does not matter where you go or

Following the death OF Elizabeth
and with the accession of James l.
there began u great struggle between
courtiers and statesmen for place, and
power. The Cecils, those tight-cling-

who still in their own time impede
the poor old craft, were determined, II

They prided themselves on their
loyalty but loyalty, whatever the
brand of 1t, did not prevent the great
Robert Cecil, Earl OF Salisbury, from
accepting brides of Spanish gold In
the reign of James L.
Raleigh and the Cecils were not
friends, and Sir Walter soon found
himself, with others, in prison,
charged with conspiring to place Ara

charges were brought against him of
conspiring to encompass the death of
the king and of betraying England's
interests to Spain.

captain and gallant adventurer had
been resolved on, on some count, for
he had distinguished himself in the
last years of Elizabeth by his hos

That king had not succeeded, and

Harriet waylet was born hundred
and sixteen years ago today In Bath,
England. She was the daughter Of a
Bath tradesman named Cook, who
belonged to a theatrical family. At
eighteen the gifted daughter appeared
on the stage at Bath. and when about
that time she ran away with Cap
tain Dobyn her father sued the cap
tain, not for abduction, but for "loss
of service" Harriet returned to Bath
and went on with her acting. At
twenty she married an actor named
Waylet, from whom she separated
four years later.
Eventually Mrs. Waylet went to
London, where she won great popu-
larity both for her acting and her
singing. Hers was not a great voice
In any way. but in singing popular
songs in the place she acted she ap-
pealed greatly to the public. Her
singing of REST Thee, Babe" in the
play Guy Mannerlng" established her
reputation. Among the other songs
in which she won public favor were

Among the plays in which she acted

1.-THE image Of God is in the lowliest
outcast, and we can find 1t II we look
for 1t and be neighbor of that man,
says Jacob A. Riis.
One of the finest fruits of culture is
the power to see the man or woman
whom God made in his own image
and not the one who Is SCARED by
faults and deficiencies, the one who is
dwarfed by vicious living. 1t is only
the generous, loving soul who ever
attains to this degree of culture.
Most of US are inclined to judge poo
pie too much by their mean traits, by
their mistakes, their shortcomings,
their peculiarities. 1t is only the
broad, charitable, great-hearted man
or woman who Is blind to the defects
of others and always ready to enlarge
upon their good qualities. They real
ize the truth that there is a God in the
meanest of men, philanthropist in
the sttngiest miser, a hero In the big
gest coward, which an emergency
great enough might call out.
A fault-finding, criticislng DISPOSE
ton Is fatal to all excellence. Moth
ing will strange growth quicker than
a tendency to hunt for flaws, to re-
joice in the unlovely, like a hog which
always has his nose In the mud and
rarely looks UP. The direction in
which we look indicates the life aim,
and people who are always looking
for something to criticise, for the
crooked and the ugly, who are al
ways suspicious, who invariably look
at the worst side of others, are but
giving the world picture of them
selves.

pie said: 1T Is very simple. All do
is to try to make the most of their
good qualities and pay no attention
to the disagreeable ones" The people
who help us most are those who like
this woman, ignore, or rather, try to
eradicate our faults, by drawing out
and emphasizing our better qualities
and attuning our minds to high
ideals
