After their brothers left home,
the three remaining little robins lived
happily and comfortably for several
days.
OF course the mother bird missed her
departed babies, but the three who
were left didn't mind bit-there's no
use pretending-they just simply didn't
care Worse still, they were glad their
brothers were gone
For now, you see, there was plenty

all the nice, fat, dangly worm could
be divided into three parts instead of
FIVE tiny pieces as before
Then, too, Mother Robin had more
time to talk to her babies and TO tell
them of all the wonderful things in
the world outside the nest. She gave
them lots of good advice. too-iuuch

Yes. yes" exclaimed the mother,

off she few in search of food.
Left alone the three babies talked
softly for a little while. then one said,
what was that noise?"
Where? don't hear anything"
whispered another.
"Listenl" commanded the FIRST.

He climbed boldly up to the edge Of

RUSS AND AUSTRIAN CAVALRY MEET IN
 BATTLE OF SABRES
Claim to Have Checked Ad- vance Guard Movement in Territory Of Czar.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 17-The Russian war office today issued an official com munication giving information as to the recent military movements of the frontier between Austria and Russian Poland. It says:
 ''The defensive operations and the movements of reoonnottertng detach- ments of the Russian army on the from tier of Galicia between August 1S and IT led to series of attacks by cavalry supported by infantry and artillery
 ''In the provinces of Piotrkoff and Kielce, the Austrian cavalry occupied a front of over 50 miles in length ex- tending along a line from Tchensto- chova, through Andrejew to Sanderfx. The cavalry was supported by infantry and by artillery.
 On August IA, Austrian advance guards penetrated a short distance in to Russian territory. It is reported that this offensive movement was checked by the Russian troops
 ttAn Austrian attempt to advance from AndreJew toward Kielce failed on August 15 when the Russian troops by series of brilliant attacks succeeded iri dfslodging the enemy from Kielce and also occupied a town in the Tomas chon district.
 The Russian cavalry fought the Austrian advance guards and invaded the frontiers of Austrian Galfcia, pen etrating 8. distance of eight miles Near Tomaschoff Russian cavalry inflicted serious losses on the eleventh Austrian dragoon regiment in brilliant sabre engagement.

FRENCH DECLARE THAT RUSS ARMY'S SPEED IS
 SETBACK TO GERMANS

London, Aug. 1.-The Paris cores pondent of the Exchange Telegraph company sends an official communi- cation issued by the French war off1cs Sunday It says
 force comes in contactewith our troops, our allies will force both Austria and Germany to engage in an additional struggle which, it seems likely, will be of vast proportions.
 It is we'll known by now that the Germans anticipated a decisive defeat of the French, so that they might 1Icm ediateIy follow up such success with battle, against, our allies It Is also we'll known that they counted on the slow mobilization of the Rus sian forces and upon disturbances in Holland to gain time for their arms
 The Emperor, however, by his prom ise to give autonomy to Poland has obtained the fidelity of the Poles and Russia's nnoboHzation has been accom- plished with remarkable rapidity The Russian army is now moving forward for an offensive blow the result of which will soon be felt
 Already in Galicia, Russian cayaI- ry has crossed the frontier and Aus trian cavalry and infantry have been routed while other battaEons have turned tail Germany is put on the defensive and it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that her position ar the front is not all that could be de- sired at such a critical time in her his- tory.''

HOUSE AND GUARD FOR PRISONERS IS
 ENGLISH PROBLE EM

London, Aug LA troublesome problem of the war is likely to be the housing and guarding of prisoners. Already more than 5so00 Germans have been captured before the battles have. really begun The BeIgians are send ing a large proportion of these pris- oners to France. When the big fight ing begins with at least two million men engaged. the number of prisoners probably will run into vast and em- barrassing totals on both sides. There will be exchanges of prisoners, but these are not always easy to arrange. Another difficulty is anticipated in the matter of the comnlissariat for un- precedent edly large armies.
 The Brussels correspondent of the Reuter- Telegram company says that todayss official communication of the Belgian war office is largely devoted to unimportant despatches.
