BELGIAN ARMY REPULSES
TEUTONS' FURIOUS ATTACK

The love of precious stones is aI
most as old as the hills from which
many of them come, and in the early
days admiration for them was equally
shared by men and women. An old
writer named Omocritus, who lived
about five hundred years before the
Christian era tells us how much his
generation thought of the crystal.
Whose goeth into the temple of the
gods" said he, sagely, with this in
his hand, may be quite sure of having
MS prayer granted, as the gods can.

cult way of insuring the success Of

The Germans are not bringing new

ROMANTIC OLD ARRAS
NO MORE PICTURESQUE CITY TO
BE SEEN IN FRANCE.
Has Seen Much Of French History In
the Making and Is Today Com

portance.

The picturesque old city Of Arras,
where the Franco-British forces con-
centrated in huge numbers to check
the German advance, and where the
British fell back after the Germans
occupied Cambria, must have walked
up and rubbed its antique eyes to SEQ
its quondam foes within it's gates as
allies of it's beloved country. For
Arras was within the triangle over
which the English fought in the
fifteenth century.
The base of the triangle was tho
sea line from Harfeur to Calais, and
the apex was Paris. This is also the
ground over which some of the
fiercest battles of the present war
ragged.
For thirty years the English battled
until nothing was left of their French
territory except the Norman isles
and the newer conquest of Calais and
it's small territory. At last, in 1875,
at the peace of Arras, Philip Of Bur-
gundy "solemnly' forsook the English
alliance, and the English power In
France fell back.
This old town, which dates back to
the time Of Caesar, is 100 miles north
east from Paris, and has population
Of something like $4,000 people.
While it Is most painful to think OF
this once great art center as an in
dustrial place, one must, when he re-
calls the oil works, dye works, brew
cries and the manufactures Of hos
iery, lace, beet sugar, soap and earth
enware, which make 1t today twenti'
eth century commercial town.
However, its glory cannot depart
while the beautiful townhouse, dating
from the sixteenth century, the cita'
del partly gone, erected by Vauban'
marshal Of France and the greatest
military engineer Of the seventeenth
century, and the tall, imposing houses
in the Flemish style overlooking the
fine squares, with the upper stories
projecting over the footway, remain
These topheavy looking houses
were built in a time when a mans
house was indeed his castle, and the
projecting upper stories were used ia
wage warfare on the enemy in the
narrow street below. The. modern
armies with their wonderful and nu'
merous equipment of war must often
find it difficult to get through these
narrow streets in the old towns OF
France and Germany. They are bet
ter suited to the time when men
fought hand to hand, and warfare wal
matter of individual bravery.
That wonderful tapestry in the
Angers cathedral, which represents
scenes from the Apocalypse, was
made in Arras, and some of the finest
pieces used in the decorations Of the
field Of the cloth Of gold.
Robespierre, the most famous and
fanatical Of the republican leaders OF

White Horse Doomed In Army.

The white charger is doomed In
army circles. Despite the prominence

BOTH GERMANS and THE

Woman's Share Of the Work.


Government Is the social manage

regulate our social and business inter-
course. It Is not male institution,
nor female one, but human institu.
ton in which all human beings must
take part if we are to have a tTuo
democracy.
All the industrial rules and regula-
tions are in the hands Of men, who
are interested primarily in the produc.
ton of big things, such as railroads
and machinery. Women, on the other
hand, are the purchasers of all tho
things we consume, and, therefore,
ought to be allowed to say under what
conditions they are to be produced.

the eastern theatre, there are no ma
terial changes"
The Austrian official announcement
at Vienna says: ''The battle yesterday
to the east of Chyrow and Przemysl,
(Galicia,) again were very successful
for the Austrians. The fighting near
Mizynies was especially severe. The

the possession of the Russians, formed
a great barrier to our advance, but
now is occupied by the Austrians,
after a formidable bombardment by
their artillery"
North of Mizyniec our troops have
advanced close to the enemy. The
Russian attacks on the east OF
Przemysl to the Medyka Heights on
the southern wing Of the battlefield,
