BY MARY MARsHAI.L.

Barbara Bodichon, not the least of
whose claims to distinction Is the
fact that she was the original from
which George Eliot's ''Romola" was
drawn, was born April 8, 1927. In her
youth she developed a fondness for
watercolor painting and became
friend of Turner and other celebrated
artists Of the day She was an
ardent advocate of "woman's rights"
and wrote a short but very infiuen-
tial pamphlet on the laws of women
In England which was instrumental
In the passage Of the Married
Wonaen's Property Act When she
was thirty she was married In
Algiers. Being left a widow before
many years had passed she returned

A Premature Rumor About Austria.

A Premature Rumor About Austria.
From the Philadelphia Evening Ledger.
Austria may not be ready yet to
negotiate for a separate peace, but
she cannot hold out much longer, as
things are going now, The Russians
,,rested practically all of Galicia from
her when they took przemysl and
launched their troops against the
Carpathian passes. Now 1t is adj
.nitted from Vienna that the Rus
sIans have taken one of the passes
and are pressing hard on the others.
But IL will not be necessary for them
to hold the whole Carpathian range
before they can begin their active OPP
4rations around Cracow. The Car
pathians will protect their left wing
as they sweep on toward the German
frontier. When they take Cracew
the way into Austria and Hungary
as well as into Germany, will be open.
Francis Joseph may hold out until
the Russian hordes begin to pour into
the plains on the south of the noun
tain barrier, but he must yield then,
unless alt estimates of the combined
strength of the forces that can be
used to resist the Russian advances
are incorrect. The report that Aus
tria Is suing for peace seems to be
remature rather than unfounded.
A lesson from tho Tin Embargo.

GREED CAUSES DISASTER
Marcus Day.)

The overweaning greed of the mu-
nitions manufacturers for profit has
been the cause of much loss to them
selves by their refusal to take time by
the forelock and patrol their indus
tries by a well-organiz9d spy and
detective system, which they did not
begin until after the stable door was
Opened and the horse gone.
The intelligent use OF detectives
would have prevented the loss of the
Dupont Company, which amounted
to several millions of dollars.
The greedy munitions makers, how
ever, probably have direct loss heavily
underwritten but the loss of time has
been a great blow TO their dividends
because the European war must GER
tainly be nearing its final end. Peace
in Europe means a cancellation Of war
orders, a drop in the price Of war
stocks and the turning out of work
of thousands of men who have been
employed, but this will only be tenn
