Judge Belden handed down a decision
awarding a divorce to Mrs. Elsie NJ.
Lynch in her suit against her husband,
John Lynch. The decree was granted
by default and Mr.. Lynch did not ap-

represented by attorneys and it was
declared that stipulation had been
made to provide for the care of the
one minor child, the custody of which
was awarded to the father and mother
of Mrs. Lynch. In her complaint Mrs
Lynch alleged failure to provide. 1t is
said that the agreement between the
parties provided that the husband pay
$3.50 weekly for the support of the
minor child.

YOU HAVE ONE CHANCE
IN so OF BEING IN A FIRE

Following is an extra from a sug-
gestive article in the current issue Of
Farm and Fireside on preventing and
fighting fires:
Fires in our homes are so frequent
that the insurance companies tell US
that we have about one chance in go
of being burnt out sometime in the
course of lifetime. But in the same
breath they tell us that more than half
the fires could be prevented If people
understood the commonest causes of
them and knew just what to do when
fire starts.
Smokers are responsible for thou
sands of fires, and rats and mice cause
many others by nibbling at sulphur
tipped matches. Fires which start in
closets are often caused by matches
being left in clothes or by oily cloths
which have been stored away. Many
of the floor-polishing mixtures con-
tain highly explosive oils, and spon-
taneous combustion may start from a
nest Of these cleaning cloths II placed

strange and unusual happened. From
what could be ascertained at the mo-
ment the Russians who had been the
first to turn and run, had stopped
suddenly. Perhaps it was for the
purpose of reorganizing, perhaps for
the purpose of opposing resistance.
"Yet, so burning were the Aus
trians with the lost of the chase that
they barely perceived this strange
fact. They perceived only that they
were constantly and rapidly approach
ing with every leap and bound to the
ranks of the Russians, and then in
an instant more they were all but
upon them.
"Then it was that they perceived
that the Russians who had 50 sud:
denly stopped themselves still kept
their backs turned to the pursuing
enemy. For the instant it aroused
sudden suspicious. Perhaps they in
tended to defend themselves, to de
fend themselves as they remained
there steadfast, upright, as though

"The nearest files also, one would
have said, might suddenly nave ar
rived at the edge of a precipice so
sharp was their stop. They formed
solid Gordon of men toward which
the Austrians hurled themselves as
towards wall of stone. But even as
the first of the Austrians all but
reached the solid rank of Russians
they became stupified to see the lat
ter still remaining unmoved, their
backs still turned, and apparently
without one thought of making the
least defense.
"'What is it?' the Austrians de
manded of themselves. Was it an.

some terrible mine about to explode

"An uncanny fear ran down the

"The officers, not an instant too
soon, had solved the mystery and then
1t was that there was unfolded a
scene that made our blood run cold.
Terrifying, frightful cries rose
from those masses Of Russian soldiers
as with a supreme effort they turned
their heads towards US and stretched
out supplicanting hands. Then it was

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. o.
The National Geographical society

wars in which France has participat-

"The tourists Rheims was quiet and
peaceful, even industrial and CONNER

and smaller. Their legs, little by lit
tie, went disappearing down through
the rank grass, giving the impress
sion as though all had suddenly squat
ted.
"Then, too, we perceived that all
had freed themselves of their rifles,
had thrown them away, and with con-
tracted, contorted faces as though
with one final collective spasm they
stretched, not out, but up, up, up
their supplicating hands.
Mot one of us fired against the
enemy.
"At first only perplexed, we be-
came suddenly terrorized, when final
ly we grasped that which was hap
pening before our eyes-the treach-
erous mire, under which was hidden
the fathomless marshes, had opened
to swallow them up.
"All the efforts, persistent, desper-
ate, which each made to liberate him
self from the clammy element only
engulfed him the deeper. If some
poor soldier, after thousand efforts,
succeeded at last in extricating leg,
he found only the other more hope
lessly than ever imbedded.
"First one, then another, then an
other, and finally all of that mass of
writhing humanity, as if by sudden
inspiration of salvation, as from some
inner subtle intuition that urged the
distinction of the body's weight over
the greatest surface possible or even
that urged the tearing of the upper
portion from that lower portion al
ready imbedded, threw their bodies
forward at full length on the deceiv-
ing grass before them. But already
doomed, it served only to lengthen
their torture.
"Cries, shrieks, groans, sighs, pray
ers and invocations, some high, some
insistent, some supplicating and some
desperate, increased ever and ever as
there increased before their vision the
reality of death that every moment
made itself some closer and closer ap-
parent.
Our soldiers, whose humanity
never for an instant deserted them
even in the face of the greatest hor-
ror of the war, reached out the stocks
or t,reir- rifles TO the iiien Whom but d
moment before they had hoped to
slain. The Russians grasped them
but it was grasp that was utterly
futile. No power on earth could save
them, and with. an About face the
Austrian officers turned their men, al
ready terrified, white and trembling,
and marched them away with never
look backwards at the horror that
lay behind"
