AUSTRIANS MUST NOT WORK

Washington, Sept. S,-Dr. Dumba, Austrian ambassador, laid before Sec retary Lansing today the explanation of letter written by him to the for eign office at Vienna, relative to !ne ! withdrawing of Austrian employees from plants making war supplies for the allies Neither would discuss the | interview after it was over.
 The text of Dr. Dumba's letter re- gently sezed by British authorities from it's bearer James F. G. Arhibald, an American newspaper correspond ent, was cabled tc' the state depart ment today by Ambassador Page at London and had been the subject of conference between the president and Secretary Lansing before the ambas- sador reached the department.
 It is understood that the use of an American passport to shield the mes senger who carried not only the Dum ba letter, but dispatches from the Ger man embassy and other documents was regarded by them as quite as ser ious a matter as the activities reveal ed by the letter itself.
 MT Lansing's only statement cn the subject was negative response when asked whether any steps had been taken toward bringing the situation to attention of the AustroHungarian for eign office.
 From reliable sources it was learn ed tonight that Dr. Dumba, in making his explanation, outlined the Austro- Hungarian view of the plans dealt with in his letter. contending that it contemplated nov iolation of the laws was said no steps had been taken, but the ambassador had been instructed to give widest publicity to a new decree of his government, making nationals | liable under martal law fer rendering assistance in the manufacture of muni- | tions of war for the enemy
 This decree preVlouSly announced provides punishment of long terms of imprisonment and even Heath by hanging for AustroHungarians com-- hitting the offense at home CT abroad. Cooperation in carrying out the pur- pose of the law, it was pointed out, was held to be mere fulfillment of the duty of an ambassador charged with protecting of his nationals. It was not denied, however, the Austria Hun garia representatives, while they had no desire to injure American interests, would not hesitate to handicap in any way possible the efforts of their enc mics to obtain munitions.

GEAR LEhDIiE|G(,
 OWN ARMY NOW
Belief that Emperor Nicholas Taking Head of Army Indicates Greater
 Military Activity.

London, Sept. S.-The news that Emperor Nicholas has placed himself at the head of his army which he an- nounced in a telegram to RaymCnd Poincare, president of France, and the visit paid by the French commander in chief, Gen. Joffre, to the Italian ar my, foreshadows. it is believed in mili- i tary circles here tonight, stirring ev- ents on both the eastern and western fronts in which the armies of all the allies will cooperate.
 It is declared the Russians uTe al ready nearly, if not quite, holding their own against the Austrians and Germans, whose advance has been stepped at most places.
 Riga remains the danger point, but the Russians continue to occupy the town after the Germans have Germans have advanced to the Dvina, southeast of Riga, leads military writers to the conclusion that the Russians feel req scnably sure of their ability to defend the river and in time to push suffi- ciently far westward to relieve tho pressure on their forces on the shores of the Gulf of Riga
 Westward of Dvinsk and Wilma the Russian offensive has now held the Germans for more than week, and to the military observers those two towns seem fairly safe, unless the in vaders bring up reinforcemnts. East and southeast of Hrcndo, the Russians have taken up new positions across the river Stchare and it's numerous tributarieS,a nda re protecting the net work of railways which run eastward and northward to the interior of the country.
 To the southeast of the Pripet marsh- es great battle is in progress, the army cf Prince Leopold of Bavaria and the troops of the Russian center be- ing engaged. Amid the Pripet marsh- es the German Field Marshal Macken- sen is working hard for a decisive re- suit He reports that he has taken two Russian positions.
 Still another battle is being fought for the triangle of Notifications fur ther south, of which Rovnc, and Dub no remain in the hands of the Rus sians. The Austrians and Russians are facing each other across the Se- reth river in Galacia, where the fight ing is continuous. The stands of the Russians suggests the supply of Rus sion ammunition is ample.
 For the thirteenth successful day the allies have bombarded German positions in the west, vcrying tnei.' activity by air raids sapping and min in operations and bomb throwing. In this fighting the Germans are also talk 1 ing part, and success rests with one side and then with the other.
 Similar activity is also noticed on the part of the Hungarian armies on the north of Serbia, where the positions on the Save and Wan ,be are being streng' 'hened.

MANY NEGROES STARVING
Garland City Negroes in Flooded Dis
 trict Reported Starving.

Texarkana, Sept. 9.-An urgent let ter of appeal was received by the board of trade yesterday from num- Der of citizens of Garland, this coun,, ty, asking relief fer about thirty fam lilies of negroes who are on the verge Cf starvation, according to their re presentatives, on account of flood dam age and the board of trade by order of President Offenhauser, will act at once by soliciting the subscriptions of all who will give toward this relief
 Secretary Quinn had a telephone conversation with Mayor Thomas Brewer of Garland, this morning, if regard to the situation, and that off, cial advised the appeal was very necessary one. He stated the Gar land merchants had oversupplied the farm hands; that they had planted their crops three times, only to have them washed away, and the situation was such as to merit the consideration cf prompt relief at the hands of the public in more favored localities. In view of this it is urged by the board of trade authorities that everyone send money and food to the rooms of that organization, and the same will be despatched promptly. Such aid, it is pointed out, will keep body and soul together until such time as the un- fortunate laborers can secure work in the cotton fields of other sections and thus provide themselves.

MIRROR FOR DAINTY WOMAN
May Be Held in the Mouth, Leaving
Both Hands Free to Arrange
the Back Hair.

At last a woman may have both
hands free to arrange her back hair
as she looks in mirror. This is made
possible now by the invention OF mir
ror which can be held in the mouth,
thus rejecting the back of the head
from the main mirror of the dressing
table.
1t is the invention of a Frenchman.
Who has given SO much thought to the
elegancies of woman's toilet as the
French?
( This new mirror is broad, so as to
give a good general view sidewise, and.
being fixed on a curved bar, stands
well out from the face. SO that there is
no strain on the eyes.
At the bottom of TIE curved bar is
the bite" not too large for dainty
mouths and covered with batting, so
as to be easily held without harming
the teeth.
Even the hygienic side of the use of
this mirror has been considered, for a
number of thick envelopes just fitting
over the "bite" come with the mirror,
so that you may lend it to your friend
and neither she nor you fear any con-
