She paused with an amazed gasp.
Something that had dulled perception
had snapped. She saw with a startling
suddenness the thing that had caused
trouble-she had been giving Peyton
too much of herself! Her cheeks grew
hot at the memory of her every even
ing question: "Peyton, dear, do you
really, really love me as much as ever?"
What an utter fool she had been. OF
course. .Peyton's patience had collapsed.
Wouldn't any mans--any real man?
Well, she would tell him the very
moment he came in what an idiot she
had been. and they would start all
over again. Yet would the telling be
particularly polite proceeding?
Peyton hated a "teary' scene. Her
Confession" was sure to be pathetic,
and it would be a case of boring him
anew. Oh. no, understanding had
brought wisdom.
She smiled suddenly. What about
making him feel the want of her?

GERMANS Suffer
HEAVILY IN POLAND
Paris Reports 10000 Germans Kill
ed on Eastern Front.

Paris, Feb. 13.-An official state
ment given out at the war Office yes
terday announced the complete fail
ure of the German offensive in Po-
land. The statement follows:
1.-THE failure of recent attacks by
the Germans in Poland appears to
be complete. The losses of the Ger
mans are unprecedented. 1t is re-
ported that they exceed 100000 dead.
"Cold and the frequent use of
dense formations are among the
causes given for the losses of the
Germans. An eye witness of the bat
tie declares that machine guns now
ed down the ranks of the enemy like
a steel blade.
when the combat ended the Rus
SLAMS saw the hills of dead before
them. At night, under the glare OF
searchlights, the undulating mass
of wounded made efforts to extricate
themselves. Then towards 2 o'clock
in the morning they moved no
more.

platform pledges? The Baltimore
convention bound the nominee for
president to certain principles, but
up to date little effort has been made
to redeem those pledges. That con-
vention declared that "the law per-
tanning to the civil service should be
honestly and rigidly enforced" Sec
rotary Bryan follows up this pledge
with a letter to Mr.. Wick, receiver of
customs at Santo Domingo, asking
information as to what positions
you have at your disposal with
which to reward deserving demo-
Gratis" The platform also declared
that merit and ability shall be the
standard of appointments and pro-
motions, rather than service render
ed to a political party" Secretary
Bryan wipes all this nonsense from
the slate and boldly asserts to Mr..
Wick that you have had enough ex-
perience in politics to know how
valuable workers are when the cam
paign is on and how difficult it is to
find suitable rewards for all the de-
serving" In the judgment of Mr..
Bryan the question of rewards for
the politicians, rather than the good
of the service and the glory of the
country is the paramount thing. 1t
is little wonder that the people are
coming to regard Secretary Bryan
as nothing more than a spoils poll
tician who would prostitute the pub
lie service for the benefit of party
workers. Imagine, if you can, such
a spoils letter written by James G.
Blaine, John Hay or Elihu Root, men
who have filed to the brim the posi-
ton in which w. j. Bryan is now
rafting around. Democrats who be-
lieve that platform pledges and the
preachments of their party should be
taken seriously must be greatly dis
appointed in Mr.. Bryan, the man
whom they have respected and be-
lieved in for twenty years. Il

The Hague, Feb. 12.-Henry Van

He said his diplomatic communi-
cation with Luxembourg has been
cut off by the German military COM
mander at Trier (Treves), who had
refused to permit his letters to pass
because they were closed with the
seal of the American legation.

STEAMER
ESCAPES SUBMARINE
Clever Maneuvers and Fast Sailing
Save British Ship.

Yumiden, Netherlands, Feb. 12.-
The German submarine w Wednes-
day attempted to torpedo the Brit
ish steamer Laertes, which arrived
here yesterday from Java. The YES
sci escaped by adroit maneuvers and
fast steaming. When attacked the
steamer was flying the Dutch flag.
The attack was made while the
vessel was steaming between the
Meuse lightship and Schouwen bank.
The submarine fired several shells
which damaged the steamers fun
mel, compass and upper deck.
AS this did not induce the captain
to stop, the submarine made an I'M
successful attempt to torpedo the
steamship.
The Laertes when challenged by
the submarine was proceeding with
out showing her nationality. When
asked to stop the vessel flew the
Dutch flag but this did not prevent
the Germans, according to the ships
officers from firing on the steamer
and attempting to sink her.
The captain of the Laertes says
ne flew the Dutch flag in order to
save the crew which consisted Of |
subjects of neutral states, including |
hose of China and Norway.

BRYAN A DISAPPOINTMENT.
Secretary Bryan has called forth
an avalance of just criticism by his
santo Domingo spoils letter. The
secretary tries to dismiss the matter
with smile, but it will not be dis
missed. The democratic party has
for years demanded observation of
the merit test and no man in the
country has preached stronger SER

him apeing the methods of ward pol

Useless expenditure of public
money for the benefit of personal

cal obligations is graft pure and sim.

Some people seem to think that only
downright stealing, by forgery, tap
ping the till or blowing open the
safe, is graft, but the general con-
ception of the word is that it fits ex-
actly case where needless expend-
lures are made for other purposes
than the benefit of the public. The

some extravagances were being in

that followed an investigation was
ordered. According to reports from
Des Moines the graft committee has
found that $4,000 or $4,000 per
year is being uselesly expended for
wages of persons whose services are
not needed. If the governors
charges result in the saving of that

ZEPPELIN RAIDS ENLWEN LONDON But for These Society Women Would Die of
 Depression

London, October 25.-(Special )--Every- thing is getting queerer and queerer, and if it weren't for an odd first night and visits from the Zepps to enliven and ex- cite us we'd die of depression. Though we all love doing everything for the wounded and trying to cheer them, and washing and scrubbing plates and dishes with our hands that once were lily white for the healthy Tommies, and knitting socks for the men at the front we do get bit "fed-up' on the whole situation, particularly as so many people wear such long faces and enjoy telling bad news.
 Politics is beginning to interest us all once more and the 'goings on" of the cabinet ministers are discussed at every tea table. friend of Mrs. Lulu Har- court (she was Miss Burns of New York and 0 niece of the late Pierpont Morgan) said that lady was thankful that her Lulu had nothing to do with military affairs just now, his mission being con- nected with the office Of works. Mrs. Harcourt said if, by and by, there are ructions, as it is feared there will be.

FEW CHANGES IN
 LICENSE SCHEDULE
Commissioners Have Been Hard at Work-To Equal
 ize Charges

There will be no radical changes, it is indicated, in the license schedule, which is being prepared for the en- suing new year
 Work on revising the schedule was put under way during the week just elapsed and the three members of the commission have been working night and day. In the present financial con dition of the city, it would be impos- sible, according to the commissioners, to reduce licenses which are admit tedly too high.
 There will be no radical changes said President Ward. 'tThe trend of the work is neither toward reduction nor increase, but more toward equaliza- : tion."
 The commissioners indicate that if the people vote in favor of increas- ing the rate of taxation next fall. licenses will be reduced in Birming ham.

The city commissioners will meet in Ensley tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock at the city hall. in accordance with the new policy of the commits sion of holding it's sessions from time to time in the suburbs of Birmingham. They will meet in the police court room and will hear whatever sug- gestions or complaints the citizens of this district have to make
 The members of the Ensley club will meet with the commissioners and take up number of questions, among them the proposed viaduct over the railroad crossings at the steel plant, which is considered the most dangerous in the Birmingham district. They will ask that something be done.
 The committee which was appointed st the last meeting of the club to pro- test against the tax rate will also en- ter its complaint. It was brought out at the last meeting that the legisla- ture had passed bill allowing the oity authorities to graduate the licenses and the business men of this district want their rates lower, as at present they have to pay the same
