London.-As a measure of elemen-

mobilization of her naval and military
forces.
Thus the action of Bulgaria in max
ing military preparations brought the
last remaining Balkan states under
arms, for Rumania, while not fully
modified, for some time has had her
troops ready for an emergency.
"A decree has been promulgated
convoking the chamber Of deputies on
Wednesday to pass an act Of martial
law and to put at the disposal Of the
government all the state railways"
says a dispatch from Athens to the
Exchange Telegraph.
THE transportation of merchandise
has been forbidden" the dispatch
adds, and continues:
Without distinction of parties the
press unanimously approves the meas

"All Greek steamers have been

London.-"The battle north of
Lutsk was great success for the

General Ivanoff has been having in
Galicia and Volhynia, 1t is considered
in military circles here. may still have
an influence in more than one way
in the Balkans.
These successes, which extend to the
Rumanian frontier, would in the
opinion of military observers, serve
to ease the situation on the Rumanian
flank should Rumania join Russia, and
in addition might we'll prevent the
Austro-Germans from sending an ar

There has been a continuation Of
the furious artillery struggle in the

report British attack south of the
La Bassee canal broke down under
the German fire.
After fortnight of comparative in
activity during which they sank only
five British merchant ships, German
submarines again are on the move off

two days drive of the Anglo-French
forces, which have begun a great Of
fensive movement against the German
entertainments along the western
front.
Much Hand-to-Hand Fighting.
Both the British and French have
been successful, carrying trenches ex-
tending over distance of 20 miles
and a depth varying up to two and
one-half miles. 1t is officially report
ed both from Paris and London that
the advance still is being continued,
the ground gained having in large
measure been held and consolidated
The Berlin war office admits the
retirement of the German forces at
various points, but minimizes the re-
suit of the engagements.
Much of the fighting was at close
range, hand-to-hand encounters being
carried from trench to trench. The
heavy artillery continued to pour forth
rain of projectiles, while aviators
undertook to direct firing and themN
selves engaged in many combats.
German Losses 10000.
In addition to having captured
Souchez, a much-disputed point OF
vantage, the French have succeeded
in forcing a passage Of the great
series of trenches and Notifications in
Champagne between Auberive and
Ville-surTourbe, driving the Germans
to the second line of trenches, two or
three miles to the rear. This offen-
sive still is in progress.
French military observers declare
that if 10000 prisoners were taken,
the total German losses must have
been at $4,000 or 10000 men.

England's Work for Better Babies

Mrs. Mabel Potter Daggett tells In

babies.
A group Of medical men went out

year of age, they reported. were to
be traced to that one cause Of ma
ternal exhaustion. Then the way to
begin with the babies was to begin
with the mothers. And the govern
ment took immediate steps, as was
announced in the house of parlia-
ment. "for the improvement of the
conditions of pregnancy and child
birth and infant rearing throughout
the whole country"
The thirty shillings bonus insures
that there shall always be money In
the house at the critical juncture to
pay for some sort Of care for mother
and child, to be paid on the birth Of
a baby to every family with an in
come Of less than one hundred and
sixty pounds a year. This is but one
feature of the great campaign inau-
surated for the conservation OF the
child. 1t is looked upon by the En-

Some Laws That Do Not Protect

George Creel tells in Pictorial Re-
view Of laws in different States
where equal suffrage is not granted
and shows how far short they fall
In matters protecting the wife and
tho mother.
In New Jersey. as in South Caro-
lima. there is no State law against
the keeping Of houses of prostitution.
Saddest thing and most savage Of
all. however. Is the fact that in
New Jersey children born out Of
wedlock may not be legitimatized
even though the parents are married
afterward. A bill to lift this curse
from the heads Of innocents was in
troduced In the 1913 legislature but
failed OF PASSAGE!
Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Weeks, the
Senators from Massachusetts,, are
two others equally firm in the be-
lief that woman has no need for the
ballot owing to mans chivaIrous
willingness to grant her smallest
wish. IT took exactly forty Years
Of begging for the mothers Of
Massachusetts to get a joint guard
ianship law: and even then it
was secured only through the horrid
compulsion of tragedy. A despair
ing wife. driven mad by the cer-
tainty that her worthless husband
meant to scatter the six children in
institutions and apprenticed en-
ployment. killed herself and the lit
tie ones Then the legislators took
action.
Massachusetts, boasted laws for
the protection Of working women are
without teeth. Twenty-four inspec-
tors are provided for $1,000 manu-
featuring establishments, and al
though 10000 of the toilers are wom-
on and children, only four women
have been made inspectors.
The state possesses a drastic eight
hour day for all men paid from the
public treasury, and all men en-
ployed by contractors doing the
work from the State. vet 4 nine
hour day is the best that the wage
earning woman has been able to win.

ever there is talk of a minimum

haven't any great industrial popu-

Just because it isn't going to benc-
tit hundreds Of thousands or be spec

ship between vocational training
and the minimum wage.
The awakened interest in voca-
tional training Is Il direct compile
ment Of the minimum wage inter-
est. For the moment the employer
gives minimum wage he wants ef-
ficiency. If he pays y or IS a week
he wants good work.
But he can't get it. unless he has
skilled workers. In order to be able
OF earn living wage. the child
should be trained in vocational work
In other words. if he isn't trained he
doesn't work, II he doesn't work. he
doesn't eat. and the State takes care
OF him in the end.
1t looks as if it might be the direct
duty Of the State to save money by
training the child for job in youth.
What matter if there are just a few
paid girls and boys. men and wom-
en- in Washington? The fact that
there are so few of them, in compari-
son with other cities. is no earthly
reason why they must live on MOTH
ing. no guarantee that they can't get
just as hungry, per individual as do
the factory hands Of Massachusetts.
After all, there's real Washing

houses and clerks not in the Govern

of them that the Mckinley Manual

Vocational Training and Minimum
Wage.

~WO QUESTIONS which are
being asked separately in
Washington but which have
distinct bearing upon ono
another. are: do we need mini
mum wage?" and Shall we have vo-
cational training in the schools?'
Some people seem to think that
Washington Is such terribly queer
little, strange little. politically SEX
less village. that 1t need mover be
treated as q real city. and that its
inhabitants. since they are not per-
mitted the joy Of breathing the
smoke Of Booth Tarkington, "Tur-
moil' city, are different from the
inhabitants Of all other cities.
Whenever there is talk of voca-
tional training these people say:
why? Washington children don't
have to work in factories and in
