city of Warsaw; everything has been go

Judge by the appearances. But at the
same time one must concede that the
Russians have OF late been making a
mastery retreat and that they have
lost comparatively few men as prisoners,
even taking the German official reports
as a basis for forming an opinion. The
morals of the Russian defenders seem
to have been maintained in spite Of
their frequent defeats and retreats be-
fore the great invading armies; and so
long as the morals of the army can be
maintained there is cause for satisfac-
ton among the other entente powers as
well as for Russia herself. There has

RENT PAYERS GAIN

Paris, July 2s.--For the fourth tim,
since the beginning of the war the hopes
of Partisan landlords have been deferred
by the extension of the period for tn,
payment of obligations. The average
tenant finds il easier TO observe the

CLAIMING SOLDIERS ESTATE.
Nearest Relatives Receive from a For
tune to Trinket.

| Paris, July 2s-The Souvenir Depos-
itory" is the name given TO a dark gray
building in the rue de PUniversite, where
nearest relatives come by appointment
to claim the estates of soldiers killed
in battle. The estate of the soldier as
it comes from the hands of his regiment,
his comrades, a surgeon or a hospital
may be fortune or a trinket.
Family mementos, miniatures, medal
lions worn as talismen next the heart
in battle; cigarette lighters, broken
pocket.kniyes, rings and other trifes,
made precious to the bearer by secrets
which have gone with them into the
grave; last requests, wills written on
scraps of paper, unfinished and blood
despatched, or even on pieces of shirt
in blood, sometimes nothing more than
the soldiers metal Identification disk
all these constitute an inheritance in
the eyes of the administration.
Sometimes il is the sanitary service
that takes charge OF a soldiers belong
ings in the field, sometimes it is the
municipality in which he dies. Inven-
tories are made in duplicate and objects
are forwarded to the ministry of war;
where all articles are checked over De-
casionally medals or Identification disks
that have been picked up on the bat
tie field, or trinklet confided by severe
ly wounded men to comrades when they
thought their end near are sent in;
later on IL is learned that the owners
had been taken prisoners or picked up
by ambulances and saved.
Along the dark, winding corridors of
the building some OF the most pathetic
tragedies Of the war are daily enacted.
Widows, fathers, mothers, brothers, sis
tiers, orphans wait their turn in a long
sombre line, and all class distinctions
IRE forgotten in their common grief.
The faces Of some Of these unfortu-
late people become familiar TO us" said

We have it on the authority of the
Rutland News that automobiles are be-
coming so numerous on the west side OF
the state that possession of machine
does not lay one liable to suspicion. We
presume, however, that possession of a
machine does lay one liable to attack by
the money hungry over on the west side.
There is no east or west, nor north or
south, when it comes to that phase of
the automobiles existence, according to
the testimony of the average motorist.

CONFIDENCE IN RUSSIAN RESIST
ANCE.

The apparent inactivity of the French
British and Belgian allies on the western
war front at a time when their ally
Russia, is sorely pressed by great Teu-
tonic army ON the eastern war front
may be explained by the confidence felt
by all the entente powers that the Rus
slams win be able TO cope with the Aus
tro-German armies and perhaps hurl
them back in confusion once the battle
reaches the right stage for the Russian
effort. To be sure, not much confidence
is placed in such an explanation Of the
