SAYS GERMANS
HAVE WEDCED
into THE ALLIES
Correspondent Back From Bel.
ginm Tells of Developments

London, Aug. 31.-Arno Dosch, cor.
respondent of the magazine, tn,
Worlds Work, who went to Belgium
recently, arrived in London today from
Brussels. where ne left last Thursday
He said John II. McCutcheon of Chi
cago, Mr.. Hasen OF the Chicago
News and Irwin CopD of New York
were safe i'm Brussels when he left.
Referring to the military situation IN
Belgium ne said:
The German auto trucks are a mar.
vel They are equipped with scythes
and they NOW right through hedges
and wire fences If the roads do not
suit the drivers The trucks are heav-
lily armored and are able to resist any
thing except artillery fire. They enable
the Germans to make forty miles day.
The number of these trucks seems un-
limited.
ut is estimated that 300,0 Germans
troops have made their way through
Brussels and that 100000 have moved
south of Brussels. The troops which
passed through Brussels were later
engaged with the British forces. Only
a small detachment of Germans was
left in Brussels.
Discredits German Atrocities.
II have no personal knowledge of the
horrible Germans atrocities reported
in Belgium, and am inclined to dis
credit most of these stories. The Ger
mans also tell stories of Belgian atroci-
ties, most of which | believe.
From what / heard ! believe the
Germans have wedged into the allies
and that they are not keeping "a
straight front to the enemy. The line of
fighting from Namur south has been
a zigzag and nothing like what many
strategists guessed.

London. Aug. 31.-After four days of
desperate fighting the British army in
France is rested, refltted and rein
forced Tor the next great battle, ac-
cording to announcement by Lord Kit
chener, secretary of state for war.
In statement based on reports from
Sir John French, commander OF the
British expeditionary forces, the seCfe
tary says that the British, after strug
CLING against tremendous odds, retired
to new line of defense where they
have not been molested since Thurs
day. Their casualties are between Ave
and eight thousand. Since this fighting
ceased. the French on the right and
left have brought the German attack
To a standstill. 1t is declared.
Enemy's Losses Very Heavy.
1t is possible now to state what has
been the British share of the recent
operations.
There has been a four days battle.
on the 23rd, oath, 25th and Goth. During
the whole of this period the British
were occupied in resisting and check
ing the German advance and in with
drawing to new lines of defenses
The battle began at Mons on Sun
day. On Monday, the cath, the Ger
mans made vigorous efforts in superior
numbers to force the withdrawal Of
the British army and to drive it into
the fortress at Maubeuge.
AS on the previous day, very heavy
losses, far i'm excess of anything suf-
fered by us, were inflicted on the enc

The Germans have been made to pay
the extreme price for every forward
march they have made.
"Th strategic position of ourselves
and our allies is such that. whereas a
decisive victory for our armies in

must come to one conclusion"

Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1914-07-18
-. The
Evening Chit-Chdt
BY Ruth Cameron

II HE JUSTICE of giving men and
women equal pay for equal work
is a subject on which l have
4 often been asked to write.
] have hitherto hung hack be-
cause l think it is a rather involved
question.
The letter friends who have written to
me on this matter have been women,
and they have taken the stand that
there is but one side to the question
namely that woman holding a posi-
ton similar to that held by men ought
to be paid exactly the same.
l cannot settle the matter quite so
simply in my mind. 1t seems to me
that there are two sides to it, although
have my own opinion as to which is
the right side.
Let's examine them both.
First, we are told that a womans
term of service is likely to be shorter
than mans. Now it is the theory,
among business men, that an employee
is seldom worth what .e is paid during
the time he is learning the business. If
this is true the deficit must be chars-
ed up to the period when he is worth
his wage When this period is short
er in the woman's case the employer
loses in paying men and women both
the same wage. Personally, l believe
that the employee is usually worth the
small wage that he gets from the very
start. If he is, that argument crumbles
to nothing.
The next argument Is that women are
more likely to be absent on account Of
sickness or home conditions, than men,
and hence are less dependable and less
valuable. That is certainly true in
some cases, and 1 cannot see how the
woman who is always asking for a
week or a day off. regardless of her
employers need of her, can expect the
same pay as a man who does not re-
quire these favors. on the other hand,
know women who are quite as
steady and faithful workers as men
and l do not see why their pay should
be smaller than mans pay just be-
cause some other woman is irrespon
sible.
Another argument is that a man has

the sanitarium and adjacent environs.
she is yet scarce strong enough to re-
sumo at once her arduous domestic
tasks. That is to say, she isn't going
to pitch in at once and do all the dishes
herself. Do you assimilate the gist OF
that?
Another thing. You will be obliged
to prepare lunch today and of course
we want to greet mother as peasant
~ as we can While away mother has
learned from our letters that the prog
ress you have made in domestic sci
ence is nothing short of amazing. At
this moment as the train speeds her
homeward she is no doubt wrapped in
anticipation of the lovely lunch you
will have ready for her.
u am willing to wager that real
lusty teamster in the full bloom of
health might be able to negotiate one
of your meals without sustaining in
ternal injuries It would be rash and
tactless, however, to try it on mother.
Let us bend our wits to this and evolve
a PLAN
Peggy listened quietly throughout,
regarding her brother all the while
with a smile most ineffably sweet. II
there was a dash of gentle irony in
the utterances Of Tom there was a
world of it in Peggys look. However.
it was agreed that they repair to n
delicatessen shop, selecting only the
most nutritious and digestible foods.
And the lunch when finally presented
was really quite tempting.
Mother, overjoyed at what seemed
to be Peggys advancement show cred
her daughter with flattery
And Tom, who was drinking at the
moment, alarmed them all with a fit
of violent choking.
