German Policy Bit

Railroads unable to Transport
the Immense Number Of
Wounded Soldiers.

Vienna, via Rome, Sept. l2-There
is increasingly bitter feeling here
against Germany and an almost un1-
versal demand in popular circles that
the government sue for peace.
The acknowledgment that the Aus
trian armies were compelled to meet
the Russian assault alone and unsup-
ported while Germany invaded
France, with the result that the Aus
trian army was crushed by over.
whelming numbers, has resulted in a
storm of bitter criticism Of the gov
ernment. .---.-r :.
The known losses are enormous
and it is believed that they have been
far greater than the government will
admit So strong and bitter Is the
feeling that it is not believed the gov
ernment can hold out long against it..
Riotlng Not Improbable. y.
Unless Austria sues for peace in
the near future it will be hard for
the government to prevent stormy
scenes not alone in Vienna, but in
every big city in Austria-Hungary.
The admission is made that the rail
roads are unable to transport the
wounded. The Austrian Red Cross is
sued a demand that all automobiles
within the country be turned over to
it to transport the wounded to places
where they can &c properly cared for:
Every hospital in Vienna is filled
with desperately injured soldiers. Al,
public halls have been requisitioned
and are all filed. Public houses are
now being utilized and still the long
trains of men torn by shot and shrap
mel continue to arrive here. ~
Austrian troops fought with the
greatest bravery. But they were a,
ways outnumbered. +.

SLAvS VICTORIOUS
AGAINST AUSTR|ANS.
Latest Reports, However, |ndi-
cate Earlier Stories Were
Exaggerated.

London, Sept. 12.-On the eastern
field of battle the Russians appear to
have been driven back in East Prus-
sia, but according to Petrograd ad-
vices they continue to punish the
Austrians The latest information
from Berlin indicates that General
Won Beneckendorff und Won Hinde-
burg has gained an important sac
cess in East Prussia. According to
this yerson the Russians are in full
retreat with the Germans in close
pursuit.
A Copenhagen dispatch says the
left flank Of the Russians has been
defeated by the Germans, thereby
opening the way for attack en- the
Russian rear in East Prussia.
There are indications here that the
reported extremity OF the Austrian
forces in Galicia is Exaggerated. The
Russians apparently have halted thei,
attack either because CT es4---s-4 .io

strong.
Neither Holds Place.
On the East Prussian front neither
side seems to have been able to hold
its position. There is a possibility,
however, that Russia is awaiting the
advent of winter, which will freeze
the marshes, before making a serious
attack in this direction. Germany has
about 100000 men along the East
Prussian border and doubtless will
make stubborn stand there to pre-
vent the opening of the most direct
road to Berlin.

CHANCES FOR LIFE.

What occupation in life offers
man the best prospect of lone
life is a question often asked
DR.. Schofeld. late lecturer anC
examiner for the National Health
Society, has given table of long
evity which supplies an answer.
Evidently the Christian minis
try is the most healthful of occu-
pations. "Clelgy," who head
the list, live more than twice as
long as the average members OF
ether professions. Non-conform-
Isl ministers die a little faster.
The complete list works out
thus in order of longevity: Cler-
gy so per cent, dissenting min
listers, farmers, agricultural lab
orers, grocers, lawyers, diapers,
coal miners, watchmakers, artists,
shoemakers bakers clerks, chem
lists, green grocers, tailors, doe
tors, butchers, painters, musi-
clans cab an bus men, sweeps,
publicans, metal miners, hawkers,
city laborers, barmen.
Descent from good stock,
temperate habits, and small, but
assured inc ONES are said to be
factors in the long life of the
clergy.
Farmers would show up bet
ter if they spent less money in
drink. -
"Grocers owe their higher
death rate to the spirits they con-
sumo"
Lawyers would be better off if
it were not that after forty-five
they die off more quickly.
Diapers die largely from con-
sumption, owing to the amount
of dust encountered in their bus
mess but the surprisingly good
health Of coal miners is probably
due to the harmlessness Of coai
dust.
"Bakers die largely from drink
and suicide"
Clerks alone live to the present
average age Of fortythree.
Musicians include all organ
grinders and German bands.

JACK LONDON DESCRIBES
GOOD SOLDIER"

If more people were to know
Jack London's description Of a
good soldier.' | think there
would be fewer expressions re-
garding the nobility and great
ness of the soldier. Here is the
descriptions:
Young man, the lowest aim
in your life is to be a good sol
der. The good soldier never
tries to distinguish right from
wrong. He never thinks; never
reasons; he only obeys. If he is
ordered to fire On his fellow cit
izen on his friends, on his neigh
Tors, on his relatives, he obeys
without hesitation. If he is or
dered to fire down crowded
street, when the poor are clamor-
ing for bread, he obeys, and sees
the gray hairs of age stained with
red and the life tide gushing
from the breast Of women, feel
ing neither remorse nor sympa-
thy. If he is ordered off as one
OF firing squad to execute a
hero or a benefactor, he fires
without hesitation, though he
knows the bullet will pierce the
noblest that ever beat in human
heart.
A good soldier is a blind,
heartless, soulless, murderous
machine. He is not man. He
is not even a brute, for brutes
only kill in self-defense. All
that is human in him, all that is
divine in him, all that constitutes
the man has been sworn away
when he took the enlistment
roll. His mind, conscience, aye,
his very soul are in keeping Of his
officer.
''\O man can fall lower than a
soldier. It is depth beneath
which We cannot co.

BELGIUM, CRUSHED, IS STILL
DEFIANT.

Paris, Aug. 25.-The text of
the communication from Ger
many to Belgium Auvust 9 and
the answer, dated August H.
were obtained in Paris today.
The German communication is
addressed to the cabinet at.Brus
sells and reads:
"The Liege fortresses have
been taken by storm after a cOu-
rageous defense. The German
government deeply regrets that
owing to the attitude of the
Belgium government blood has
been shed Germany does not come
into Belgium as an enemy. 1t
is entirely by force Of events that
she has been obliged, owing o
the military measures taken by
France, to enter Belgium and oc-
cupy Liege as base for future
military operations.
"NOw that the Belgian army,
by it's persistence against enorm-
ously superior numbers, has main
tanned it's honor, the German gov
eminent begs the king Of the Bel
gians and the Belgian govern
ment to spare Belgium from
further horn Ors OF war.
"The German government IS
ready to agree to any understand
ing with Belgium consistent with
her differences with France. Ger
many, moreover, gives the solemn
assurance that she has no inten-
ton of annexing Belgian terri
tory. Germany is ready to evac-
uate Belgium as soon as war con-
ditions permit. y
The Belgian reply follows:
"The proposal Germany makes
to us is a repetition of the pro-
posal formulated in the ultimatum
of August 2. Faithful to her
international obligations, Bel
GUM can only reiterate her answ-
err to that ultimatum and all the
more so because since August 8
her neutrality has been violated
a distressing war has been
brought to her territory and the
nations which guaranteed her
neutrality have Loyalty and i'm
nediately answered her call. "

TITLED MARRIAGES PROVE
FAILURES.

Few international titled mar
riages have proved successful.
Out Of ia American heiresses Of
more or less note who have
brought foreign husbands $231,-
100000 in dowries there are less
than twenty from whom reports
Of unhappiness have not come to
America. Perhaps 100000, 900
has been scattered among foreign
husbands who have mistreated
and Inundated the women who
trusted them.
Rarely do American girls who
marry titles ever attain the covet-
ed social distinc ton for which
they have longed. The Ameri-
can girl who goes abroad to live
the life of a countess is taken
away from a home life in which
she has always been surrounded
by loving companions-boys and
girls whom she has understood
and loved-taken away to a
country, manners and customs of
which she knows nothing, and
there obliged to live within her
self or associate with depravity.
1t takes a long struggle for a girl
to push these surroundings aside
and raise herself up to social
recognition. Only a few Of the
many have attained it. GA En-
ropean never will forgive you for
not being a noble born.
More gnawing yet to the heart
of the American maiden is the
fact that often before the honey
moon has waned she has lost her
love and respect for the man for
whom she has given up a home
of love, luxury and contentment.
Fix.
