Mythical Captures Only.

New York, Sept 19.-The Austrian
ambassador, Dumba, issued state
ment characterizing as false reports
Of alleged Russian victories over the
Austrians In which "the Austrians
lost since the battle of Lemberg $780,
900 dead and wounded and 100000
prisoners" '"This,"2 he said, "is an In
credible lie." And of the capture of
500 Austrian field guns and 1000
heavy guns, he says: mo one knows

weeks fighting the capture of 400
Russian prisoners and 500 guns, fig

There Is No Panic.
News from Rome insist upon an
outbreak of panic and the prevalence
of famine in Vienna. Both tales are
absolutely false and pure fiction. The
conditions are normal in the Austrian

'As far as the famine is concerned.

Nursing Lack.

Paris, Sept. 1s.-The pitiable state
of most Of the German wounded is ex-
planned by some Of the prisoners as
due to a lack Of nursing. They say,
the Germans were SO convinced they
would cross France and take Paris at
the double quick that they did not
provide for wounded.
When the famous "75" gun of the
French began to make ravages, the
German commanders took from the
ranks the men best qualified for the
work Of caring for the wounded, but
their services were quite insufficient.
A train load Of wounded, compris-
ing a large number Of men in the i'm
perial guard, arrived yesterday at
Bordeaux Nearly all are lin a grave
state. They were accompanied by q
Germany army surgeon and one nurse
of the imperial guard. All these
wounded recognize the good care they
have had since falling into the hands
Of the French. %

The proposition to transform a Soc

Kenyon Bill Reform.
From the Springfield Republican.

The closing of Washington's segre-
Kenyon bill, which President Wilson
has delayed signing in order that So
cial workers may have a chance to ar
range new opportunities for these out
cast women. will furnish important in
formation as to dealing with the social
evil The Presidents delay of a few
days, conceded at the instance of those
engaged In reform, is not merely an
act of humanity to the women as in
dividuals, but of broader value, since
through the organized efforts that are
energctically going forward, as many
of the women as can be reclaimed will
cease to be a social menace. There
have, of course. been the usual predic-
tions that the result will merely be to
scatter impurity through the city, and
that Pennsylvania avenue and other
streets will be infested But while the
Washington papers have reported that
a proportion of the women have bra
zenly spoken of continuing their past
life either In Washington or elsewhere.
a steadily increasing number have In
dicated their eagerness to take ad-
vantage of any opportunity offered for
respectable work. Difficulties that con-
front both the social workers and
those who would reform are suggested
in the disdainful comment of one wom-
an that an honest wage OF approx
mately SO a week. which had been
snoken Of would not begin to satisfy
her tastes. But while 1t will be I'M
possible to reclaim some OF that sort,
It is clear that q notable step forward
will have been taken and national
blot removed
