AGED MURDDRESS SEEKS A
 PARDON

DUNKIRK, France, Sept. 4-All along the French front, preparations are going steadily forward for the winter campaign. In the trenches the greatest possible degree of care Is being taken to protect the men, not only against attacks, but also against the rigors of weather.
 Tar is being extensively used where ever the intrusion of water is likely to occur, the effort being to make the trenches as nerly water-tight as possible. Drainage of various kinds is being provided, and concrete is being freely used to provide weather proof shelters.

No president in recent years has had
80 little regard for civil service reform
or for the fitness of the men he APP
pointed to high office as has President
Wilson despite his emphatic protcsta-
tons before he was elected. But the
latest development of this indifference
to the welfare of the public service has;
startled even his own friends in con
gress. He has appointed +. Lester
Jones. veterinary surgeon. from Cul
pepper. Va, as head OF the coast and

scientific training and special edu
cation, and no one can possibly per
,eiva how education as veterinary
surgeon can fit Mr. Jones for the place.

OPERATED ON HUSBAND.
Wife Made Incision With Razor 't
Relieve Abdominal Pain.

Philadelphia, Dec. %. = Charles
Poshka, 81 years old, tailor OF 2oo'
East Madison street, is in serious
condition in the Episcopal Hospital,
as q result of an operation" per-
formed late Sunday night by his
wife Using a razor and working with
ont antiseptics of any kind, the Wo-
man Mrs. Beatrice Poshka, cut INTO
the abdomen, but became frightened
and rushed to the street, crying 1or
help.
Mrs. Poshka explained to the police
that for several months her husband
had been suffering from intense pam
in the abdomen, and that he had al
ways dreaded hospitals and surgeon9'
Although the pains were becoming
more serious, he refused to see u
doctor. On Sunday night the pam
grew unusually acute, and the man
begged his wife to try to relieve him.
According to her account, ne even
went so far as to get razor ana
sharpen it for her. Between her nus
bands agony and her dread OF touch
ing him with knife, she said, she
was almost in 4 panic.
Finally he cried so bitterly that
she took the razor and did as he dir
ected. She hardly knew what she was
doing, she said, and seemed to he
moving mechanically. AS soon as she
made the incision, she rushed from
the room.
A physician heard her cries and
ran into the house. He administered
a frst-aid treatment and then sent
the man to the; hospital, where the
,wound' was ;c|eansed and -sewed up.
! Last night the hospital surgeons
said the mans condition was slight
ly improved. IT was impossible to say
how serious the result would be.
Detectives took the woman TO th ;
station 'Hoase, where; She 'tollNwhat
she had done. The: husband insisted,
however, that. she had done only as
he directed, apd that:he was to blame.
THE woman, therefore, was ;releas-
cd so that she could look; after her
three small children. She is being kept
