Housewives and Servants
You may recall Robert Louis Stew
enson's dictum ON the subject now
that the servant question is once
more to the fore. He declared that
the worst features Of the British mid
die class are its fear of death and
the way its women treat their do
nestle servants. To man. says the
London Chronicle, 1t Is a matter OF
no importance whether the cook wears
a cap or not, and he can SYM
pathize with the housemaid being
Elza'd or Jane'd by every conner. Why

mo COMPROMISE" IS
ROOSEVELT'S SLOGAN
Fights Leaders, but Would Wei
come Rank and File of
Other Parties
Special 10 The TELEGRAPH

Boston, Mass, Aug. 1s.-"No COM
promise" was the slogan with which
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt opened
the political campaign in Massachu-
setts yesterday. He said there should
be no compromise with reactionaries
in any form, while, on the other hand
the party would welcome those of the
rank and file of other organizations
who refused to follow the old leaders.
Speaking of what he termed the
permanent problem of Massachusetts,
Mr.. Roosevelt said:
This problem must be, so far as it
concerns the great industries in which
the immense majority of wage work
ers are engaged, to combine efficiency
with the proper sharing of the rewards
OF that efficiency.
There is no reward for anybody,
mo adequate wage for the working
man, no proper service to the public,
unless the business pays. A business
run at a loss will have to shut its
doors.
But tho wage worker who by his
efficiency adds to the productivity
must have that added efficiency recog-
nized in increased wages. The benefit
must in part accrue to him exactly as
1t in part accrues to the man who
furnished the capital.
80 in every business it must be
recognized that there are those three
interests; and each one of those inter
ests must receive justice. Public opin-
ion must recognize this fact; and gov
ernment, which in this country is
based on public opinion, must also rec
ognize 1t and endeavor to secure its
practical realization"

General Advance of
Russian Forces Begins
By Associated Press

London. Aug. IS. 4.5O A M.-The
general advance of the Russian army
began Sunday according to the St
Petersburg correspondent of the
Times. He says:
Il am permitted to state that the
Russian armies began their general
advance on Sunday, the seventeenth
day of the mobilization. According to
news received in military circles, the
French army may be considered rea-
sonably to have already achieved a
strategical victory. There is go6 d rea-
son to believe that the German left
flank has been turned which no doubt
will compel the Germans to desist
from their turning movement around
Liege.
Moreover the exertion of strong
pressure on the Austro Hungarian and
German borders from this side week
earlier than was supposed possible
will undoubtedly discourage the
enemy in their attack on France"

: ON To BRUSSELS"
IS REPORTED CRY
OF GERMAN FORCES
"The Day For Desperate Deeds
Has Dawned For the Father
land" Says Writer
By Associated Press

London, Aug. IS, 4.25 A. M.-The
Germans are reported as marching
on Brussels by the Brussels cores
pondent of the Daily mail. Tele-
graphing last night he says:
"Feinting with their right at Diest
and deverting to some extent the at
tention of the Belgian field army
centered on Louvain, the Germans
are now signaled as marching direct
on Brussels by way of Huy and Jo-
dogne. This raiding force is believed
to consist mainly of cavalry and artil-
lery including the much feared motor
quick firers.
"These troops are in imminent dan
ger of being cut off from their base at
Liege, but the day of desperate deeds
downed for the German fatherland
and the occupation of the Belgian
capital is just the sort of spectacular
coup, utterly barren from a strategic
standpoint calculated to kindle en-
thusiasm across the Rhine.
Warnings to Citizens
"In this peaceful city it is impos-
sible to realize that the enemy is only
long days march away. The life of
the, city goes on as usual, The cafes
and shops are thronged. trains are
working to the minute, but despite
this outward calm significant events
have been chronicled.
Trenches are being thrown up few
erishly in the environs of the city,
while expectations in large black type
are being placarded right and left
calling on the inhabitants for their
own sakes not to engage in any hos
tile acts in the event of German oc-
cupation.
"In the general atmosphere of
nerve-racking mystery, one fact is
aLundantly plain. The Germans are
in a muddle on the Meuse. Aerial
observers paint pictures of chaos in
the enemy's ranks consequent on the
relentless arrival of army corps on
army corps behind a crippled front.
The emperor has despatched his leg
ions by a stop watch, but owning to
the hitch on the line at Liege, Teuton
thoroughness is cutting both ways.
Sixteen days for a thirty mile advance
, from Aix-la -Chappelle to Diest can
hardly be made the cause for many
.hochs' and the mailed first wol |
appear to have become trifle rusty.
Gallant little Belgium has prepar-
ed to make a last stand at Antwerp.
There is no place in the sun for which
ths Germans yearn more acutely than
this Liverpool of the Netherlands. but
they will have to detach at least a
half million men to take such a well
defended city,"

PARTIAL ECLIPSE To
BE SEEN ON FRIDAY
Darkened Sun Will Be Shining
Over Battlefields of
Europe

Next Friday there will be an eclipse
of the sun. 1t will be total in some
parts of the world and partial in the
northeastern States of America. Rus
sia will be the best place from which
to watch it--that is, If military eNi-
gencies permit. Central Norway and
Sweden will also be good.
Nowhere on this continent will the
eclipse be total, unless the islands in
the Arctic ocean to the north of Canada
can be called part of the continent But
on line beginning at Washington and
running north through Pittsburgh and
to Hudson Bay the sun Will rise in
partial eclipse. Everywhere east of
this line the eclipse should be visible,
the extent varying with the latitude.
II the war does not interfere many
expeditions from many countries will
be stationed in the territory where the
eclipse will be total. There will be
three French missions. one German and
one English, at Theodosia, in the
Crimea. english missions at Kieff and
Minsk. an American mission at Kieff,
and several German and English mis-
sions on the coasts of Norway and
Swede and at Riga. in Russia
