London, Sept. 21-Latest reports
from Wilma, the scene of the most re-
cent fighting, indicate that the Rus
Slams have escaped from the coils
which Won Hindenberg's army threw
about them. By dashing cavalry raids
the Germans swarmed about both
fianks of the retreating Russians, and
stood astride the main lines of their
communications. 1t is believed that
the encirclins forces were too weak
to impede the Russian veterans. The
apparent cautious strategy of Grand
Duke Nicholas was abandoned tempo
rarily by the Russians, who remained
in Wilma so long.
The domestic situation in Russia is
uncertain, owing to the strict censor
ship. When the Duma was prorogued,
Numerous strikes were declared.
The long expected offensive against
Serbia is reported to have been begun
by the Teutons, who expect to push
toward Constantinople to aid the
Turks. London views this move as
the definite announcement of Bull
garia's attitude.
Artillery exchanges continue on the
Western 'front.',

Unusual Modes of Warfare.

Unusual modes of warfare were seen on a mountain by the queer name of Hartmannsweiler-K near Steinbach in Alsace in January. The 1000 feet high, looking down upon the Rhina valley to the Northwest of Muelhausen. In peaceful times it is a favorite resort for the geologists and bOtaniStS of StraSSburg and FreiburE Universities.
 During the hard fighting which oc- cured there in January, Alpine rife men of the French army were in pos session of the plateau. which they had fortified with timber and earthworks. them, the Alpine rif1emen shot at not only from behind their defenses but from the tree-tops as well. A num- Der of them had clothed themselves in black goatskin and fir twigs and had themselves drawn up in baskets to the tops of the massive fir trees. FNom this conceaIment they were able to pick off the advancing Germans with fatal accuracy.
 The Germans were at further dis advantage because they were all low landers, while the French defenders came from the mountain districts and understood how to take the most ad- vantage of the topography. The Ger mans, however, succeeded in capturing the saddle of the mountain behind the FrSnCn ana thus cut luOlIl Oll IOAA communication with other mountain tops from which they night receive endorsements. Having succeeded in this, the Germans spent several weeks holding their position until they could bring up artillery and prepare thor oughly for their attack. When this finally began, they had already ascer- tained details of the French position so accurately that one of their artil- lery shots dropped into the officer s dug-out, killing two of the three. The remaining officer soon surrendered with his little band of 150 rifiemen.
 These mid-winter operations were carried on successfully against a num- Der of mountain-tops held by the French, notwithstanding that the Ger mans had but recently been converted from cavalry men to mountain climb CTS. The mountains were deeply over laid with snow, and the attacking for ces did not get a warm meal for weeks. Only after they had cleared the noun tatns of the French could they take time to erect 1og-huts and begin to cook their meals.

A SOLDIER IN THE RANKS

heavy wheels reused her from uneasy sleep. She hurried to the window. Wearied horses stumbled over the uneven stones, the huge guns rattled behind them, dropping soldiers plod- ded on either side. Windows were thrown open and eager heads thrust forth, to be withdrawn at sight of the sullen, doWncast faces. The retreat had begun.
 All through the gloomy day it last ed-the never-ceasing procession of wearied, battered troops. Then, as the twilight faded into dark, sounded the faint, far-off roar of guns in ac- tfon.
 first, then faster, and through the blackness the roar of the guns drew nearer, sounding above the sharper, irregular crackle of musketry. In the street below confusion grew-the shouts of officers, the shriIling of bugleS, the chatter of hoofs
 Shells began to scream over the town. Elsa, leaning horror stricken from her window, saw one strike a house across the street, which crun- bled in an instant into ruin; Despite the heavy rain, flames burst out and cast their weird, f1ickering light over the pandemonium below.
 At the corner of the street beyond she could see nasty preparations for stand. A barricade of carts, paving
 
 the houses was hurriedly thrown up. Behind it crouched 8 dark mass of men, huddled together, silent, while the rear of battle drew always nearer.
 Shuddering, she pressed her shriek- ing child closer to her breast and est corner of the little house to crouch there, trembling, her apron thrown over her head to shut out the hell of sound.
 She must have tainted. for when she awoke to a sense of her sur roundingS the street was quiet and the dark had turned to dawn. Pain fully she looked about her, collecting herself, then, laying the sleeping child carefully down, she staggered to her feet.
 Seated in her little parlor was an officer. disheveled, haggard, yet smil- ing. She heard him say to an orderly, standing at attention. Report to the general that out strategem has met with brilliant success. The loss has been trifiing." Then as the soldier. saluting, left the room, he called to l breakfast!'' And lighting a cigaret he stretched himself weari1y, smiling at the smoke wreaths, without noticing her.
 She stumbled to the door, Tn the the chill dawn she glimpsed the huddled forms of men and horses in the stiff, grotesque attitudes of sudden death. Tottering walls, smoldering timbers-everywhere ruin. confusion, death.
 On the doorstep lay figure, sprawled at her very feet, that, even | as she saw it. twitched in the last agony of dissolution, and then, as her l horror stricken eyes traced. the we'll

SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT.

From the efforts which have been made for and against 1t has been evil dent for some time that one of the important contests to come before the present session of the general assem- bly, was going to center about the question of suffrage for women. Both sides have had their hearings in which they set forth the merits of their con- tentions and a report from the com mittee is expected this week and much may depend thereon.
 It is not within the power Of the legislature to grant the right to vote to women. Such must be obtained through a constitutional amendment sanctioned by the voters of the state. What the legislature can do and what it is being asked to do is to take the preliminary steps which will in time bring the question of woman's suf- frage to a test before the electors. Whatever may be the conviction of the legislator upon the merits of such right he is being asked now to grant the referendum.
 That the movement has displayed growth is undeniable. Connecticut has previously turned a cold shoulder to the idea, but other states which did likewise have experienced a change of heart and Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee and West Vir- ginia are among the recent states where the legislatures have taken &C., ton necessary to send the question be- fore the people. This is what is being sought in Connecticut. It then rests with the voters to say whether it is ad visable for the interest of the state that the constitution should be amend

Alike through the broad boulevards and the squalid courts and byways the bugles sounded their hymn of war. ITO the colorsi" "Arm!" they sang, in braZen tones, and the reserve-shop- keepers, clerks. peasants-groom and gentleman now equal, dropped their accustomed tasks and pleasures and responded.
 The grim battalions filled their ranks and marched away under the pleasant summer sun in all the pomp and pan oply of martial splendor. Those who watched them go with a Stif1ed sigh and a braVely smiling For the Father 1and!" turned back with no less heroic hearts to the tasks that lay unfinished and to the long agony of haping, wait ing, despairing.
 It was in this wise that young Adolph Richter had shouldered his rife and hurried away, after a hasty ~art- ing kiss from his blue-eyed Elsa, and a waving of tiny. sticky hands from little Wilhelm. That had been hard, certainly, but then there was the greeting of comrades and the excite ment of the preparation for the march, and greatest of all. the su- preme moment when the -~'andid Emperor himself had walked along the rigid. motionless line. and for an instant, long to be remembered, had looked straight into Adolph's adoring eyes. So he marched away, on the "lOl6 Qullo CleeTluIly, Wlln hSn resolution to bear himself bravely in the stirring days to come.
 But to poor Elsa the days were long and blank and wearisome indeed. She went duly about the accustomed tasks, comforting as best she might disconsolate. and begged for his fa- ther. Sometimes, when her simple duties were done, and the little house was swept, she would take him by the hand and lead him down to the news paper offices, where she would stand for hours in the crowd of others like herself, waiting for some scrap of news from the front. They were most ly women in that crowd-onIy a few old men and boys. the others were all at the front.
 It was little of news that they got only a vague. guarded hint, now and then, of a great battle, or an ad- vance-never news of a retreat. It told them little, but the crowd hung about, day after day, night after night, waiting, waiting.
 Then came a new and terrible dis traction. The wounded began to come baclz-pale, haggard men in faded uniforms bandaged, with the weary eyes of those who have looked into the face of death She watched them day after day, eagerly scrutinizing the faces, fearful of what she might find there, trembling be- tween that and the terrible alterna- tive of the black -bordered, closely printed pages that bore the ever-in- creasing roll of slain.
 Then she grew dull. apathetic as the slow days dragged themselves away, and no news came. In the house to the right an anxious watch CT lowered above bed of suffering in the house to the left there was darkness and mourning. Only for her nothing.

 The activities of the enemy's snip ers", he writes, 'thave diminished of late owing to the craftsmanship of our sharpshooters. These snipers frequently cover themselves with ferns or straw so as to render themselves less easily distinguished when crawl ing on grass or stubble. At one place on this day (Feb. 8 out of five Ger man snipers who had crawled out in front of their trenches and were try ing to annoy us. three were promptly shot dead. At another point one of our marksmen recently accounted for up of snipers by our patrols is taking place on other parts of the front and is an encouraging indication that this nuisance is being effectively dealt with"
 He adds two other interesting para graphs:
 "A party of our officers had an ex- traordinary escape on this day. They were on the point of sitting down to dinner in a dug-out when a bomb from German trench mortar landed in their midst. When the smoke and dust of the explosion cleared away the dinner had completely disappeared but not single man was hurt.
 An incident recently occurred on the left which serves to show the nature of the present underground fighting An old disused communication trench which led from one of our trenches toward those of the enemy had been blocked by us with barbed-wire en- tanglement. One night a party of Germans cut the entanglement When this was discovered one of our men repaired it, and on the next night lay in wait in the hope that the enemy would come again. They were not disappointed. Six Germans came cautiously up the narrow trench to the entanglement and were all shot dead at point blank range. The en- deavor to get the better of the enemy in all sorts of little ways such as this makes up the daily life of the sol- dier."

MEXICO.

Conditions in Mexico have gone from bad to worse. That republic has been drifting for many months into a state of affairs which only made it's eXtrication all the more difficult. From the government which was maintained by Diaz and Madero, or even that of Huerta 1t has steadily declined until today chaos exists and those who are attempting to act as the country's leaders are displaying their inability to accomplish anything in the way of establishing 8 stable government or even pacifying the country. The situa- tion has gotten to the point where the representatives of the foreign govern ments are ready to throw up their hands when they plan to leave the capital and urge this country to take steps which will relieve conditions as maintained at present in Mexico City.
 The present situation presents the worst aspect that it has for months This country in endcavoring to keep in touch with the different factions has accomplished nothing. since one is as powerless as the other to accom- plish anything oe a constructive na- ture. and 1t is utterly impossible to secure any concerted action.
 N2Iurdlly the country awaits deVei- opr1ents with interest and it is perfect ly apparent that the authorities at Washington are giving the situation serious thought. Whether the sug- gestion that 0 number of the powers combine for the relief of the condi- tions in Mexico City results in the establishment of new policy is like 1y to depend upon early developments, but should such plan be adopted the wisdom of confining 1t to the coun- tries of the western hemisphere can- not be overlooked
