I'VE women always look to the 9TH

used to having men spend their
money on our amusements and we
accept these attentions as a matter
of course. We do not enter into
pleasures with our own sex as men
do. Men can have fine times with
each other and never miss us, but to
be perfectly happy we women must
have man around. The other even

For the first time in my life real

NEW REBELLION
 IN PORTUGAL
Royalists Persist in Trying to Over. throw the Republican Govern
 ment-Army Course in Doubt

PARIS, Sept. 14-Another revo- lution has broken out in Portugal The new insurrection is lead by the royalists who are we'll armed and prepared for long fight with the republican government. It is report ed that a large part of the army is ready to join the royalists. The in- surrection started last night in Lis bon and the fighting in that city con- tinued all night a'd into the day. Just who is winning is not known as the wires are down having been cut by the rebels.
 At first it was reported that the Portuguese ships of war in the har- bor at Lisbon had joined the rebels, and that the city was being shelled by the warships, but this is denied as wireless reports of the fighting have been sent from Lisbon harbor by French merchant ships now at that place.

BROWNSVILLE, Sept. 14.-Five Mexicans were arrested here today, following an attack by forty Mexi- cans upon ten Americans. In the bat tie that followed the Mexicans were routed and several of them killed, but two American citizens were also kill ed and the Mexicans are to be held for murder.
 The greatest surprise is shown here at the arrest as for the past few weeks almcst all the Mexicans cap tured have attempted to escape and been shot by their guards, but as the arrests were made in the city proper after the Mexicans had reached there it is supposed no opportunity offered for swift justice.
 Conditions along the border are no better The lawless Mexicans con- tinue to cross the line in bands and attack su all details of American troops or ranchers Generally the invaders are Worstcd and suffer heavy losses and then return to the other side only to repeat the inva- sion

LONDON. Sept. 14.-The British parliament is busy strengthening out the finances of the United Empire, so that the cost of the present war can be handled without upsetting the business life of the Empire. The British financial institutions have to bear not only the burden of the Brit ish armies and navies, but have also been called upon to finance the ltal- ian campaign, the Serbian army ana to a groat extent borne the burden or the Russian expenditures.

 While timid bankers fear that in the event of the defeat of the Allies that their bonds and debts will be repudiated others are confident that the Allies will win and that even if they should lose the bonds would be taken care of in time.
 Just how the sale of bonds will be made is not known. The J. P. Nor gan banking house is the fiscal agent of the British and French gov ernments. They will however hard ly float a popular issue of bonds be- cause of the statement made by the President in the early days of the war that it would violate the neu- trality Of the United States if loans were fioated. The lawyers however, have disputed the Administration contention but the banking house would hardly care to openly defy the President It is expected, therefore, that the lcan will be secretly placed among the bankers and manufactu- rers. t'

ALL RUMAN|ANS
 CALLED 10 COL0RS
Action of Bulgaria Brought On Crisis Report of New Balkan Alliance
 Comes From Paris.

PARIS, Sept. 14.-The Rumanian government has issued call for the mobilization of all reserves in the army. The entire strength of the na- tion has been called to arms and fully 1,5OO,00O men will be ready in a week to protect the country from German aggression and strike at the flank of the Kaiser's army operating in Galicia.
 The call to arms yesterday by the government of Bulgaria caused a breaking of the deadlock in the Bal kans. The report reaches here that a new alliance has been formed in the Balkans and a division of the spells planned, Serbia giving up Mac edonia to Bulgaria and in exchange will be compensated by large slice of Austria if the Allies are success full. Serbia has also given up all claim on Albania, which will go to Italy.
 Some doubt is held as to the in- tention of Bulgaria and many diplo- mats assert that the Rumania mobili- zation is threat against Bulgaria which will be invaded should King Ferdinand determine to join the Teutons. Greece is certain also to join the Serbians if Bulgaria attacks.

 FOR AN AMERICAN
Villa Forces Hold E. Ledwidge, De- manding $1O,OOO-Troops May
 Seek Him at Once.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. 14.- The report has reached here that B. Ledwidge, the commissary manager of the Mexican & Northwestern rail- road is being held by General Villa until a ransom of $10,o00 is paid. The men who worked under Led widge have raised the money and are sending 1t to the bandits, although Ledwidge has sent strong protest against them paying dollar, saying it will be encouraging brigandage, and that scores of American men, women and children will be put in danger of being kidnaped if the rob- bers are successful in securing money to release him. He says that it were better for him to die.
 The statement from Ledwidge reached here from one of the party who escaped from the Mexicans. Christ Ledwidge, capitalist, brother of the kidnapped man, has been noti- fled of his brothers position and is speeding to the border to effect his release.
 The Mexicans are reported ready to torture Ledwidge in order to force him to send letters to his brother asking aid.
 From Ell Paso comes the report that a band of cowboys are prepar- ing to invade Mexico and recover Ledwidge dead or alive, and infiict terrible punishment on the kidnapers
 Federal troops may also be sent on the errand.

LONDON. Sept. 14.-General Hin denberg has thrown all his available forces to the north in the hope of cutting the Vizna-Ovinsk railroad. The troops from the German interior points have been thrown to the north with terrific fury to break through the line and reach Riga, which has been held by the Russians in spite of the repeated efforts of General von Beulow and large force of Germans.
 The Germans have abandoned the plan of campaign to strike through into the dtpots and intuition centers of Central Russia. They have been rolled back after each attempt until finally despairing of gaining his ob- ject, the commanding German gen. eral has withdrawn enough of his forces from the center to give the Germans a preponderance in the north and is now ready to beat his way to the Gulf of Riga.
 The result of the new attack is waited here with great interest. If the Russians can hold the new Ger man offensive, the Kaiser's army will be forced into 8 retreat which may become . rout. They will never be able to entrench on the long 500 mile line in the east as has been done in the west and consequently with the

Wm. O'Connor, U. s. Commission CT at Chitina, who is in Valdez to at tend the term of court, states that three mer are believed to have lost their lives in the Nizina river re- gently. A squaw claims to have wit messed the accident, but no sign of the bodies or wreck of the boat have been found.
 It is feared, however, that an ac- cident has occurred, as just at this time of the season the miners who have been employed in the interior mines are coming to the coast, and the waters of the river have been un- usually high and dangerous to all except the most experienced river men.

LIVE MOUNTAIN SHEEP
 BROUGHT TO VALDEZ.

Thomas Moves, who has spent two years in Shushanna. is in Valdez as a witness in a case which will come before the Federal court term be- ginning today. He is accompanied by his wife and daughter, and after leav- ing Valdez will make an extended trip to the outside.
 MT. Moves brought young noun tain sheep which he captured last spring and the animal is attracting considerable attention as it is possi- bly the only one of its kind in cap tfvity. The lamb is beauty and will be taken 70 an isla"d in Southeast ern Alaska, near Ketchikan, where Mr. Moves has a home. It is said that the Smithsonian Institute has a standing offer for live animal but as the wild sheep live in the high mountains it is almost impos- sible to transport them by ocean.
 Mrs. Moves is also an enthusiastic hunter as we'll as her husband, and has several moose. caribou, sheep and goats to her credit as hunter.

 The Figaro's correspondent says that the Italian squadron forced an engagement upon the Austrians after long, stern chase.
 The Italian aviators returned to their base without loss or injury.

new Russian forces reaching the front as fast as equipped the Ger man line will be in great danger.
 The attack of Hindenberg in the north is also made with the hope of diverting the Russian endorsements from Galicia, where the Slavs have won several decided victories which put the German-Austro line in the south in precarious position.
 The failure of General von Beulow to make the necessary gains in the Riga district has upset the huge plans of the Germans for the crushing of the opposition in the east, the recent defeats in Galicia also affected the general plan and the mobilization of the Rumanian army of million men ready to strike the flank of the Aus the Kaiser to make one tremendous effort to crush the opposition at once.
 It is not of course known here what plan the Russians will take to combat the German attacks. A con tinued retreat would be as disastrous to the German plans as a defeat. The Russians. however, would be loath to retreat further if Riga should fall because of the retirement of the troops. and consequently many ex- perts predict decisive battle will be fought in the north within .. week.

SAVINGS LOAN"
rs ALL TO THE GOOD

The following items, all from late
issues of "The American Building
Association News" enforce the great
truth embodied in the above head
lines.
Women and Building Associations
One noticeable feature about the
membership of building associations
is the constantly increasing number
of women. According to the Penn
sylvania report, just issued, women
represent almost one-third of the to-
tai membership of the State, while
the California, published elsewhere,
gives them still greater percent
age. The Mankato, Mimi. Savings
Loan Certificate Register, for Jan
uary, 1912 with 80 members names
With holdings of $4,000, shows
that maj GRITTY of the 80 are wom-
en-. That is an excellent showing.
Large numbers of young women are
wage earners in factories, stores.
restaurants and offices. Probably no
form of investment appeals to this
thrifty class so strongly as do the
and loan associations. They
offer an Opportunity for utilizing
small savings in way which in
'ures good interest together with
safety. And if young woman hav-
ing building and loan account,
should marry she has credit which
will enable her to borrow funds for
he purchase of home. ut is credit
ible to the women workers that such
large number of them own shares
