former declared. aThey apreciate the
atmosphere, too, quite as much as the
girls. When we wink the lights at
1890 the sign for good-nignt, they
say it and march away like little sol
diers. And when we have parties there
is always formal receiving line and
at the end the girls bring the young
men to US to speak courteous fare
well and express their thanks for a
pleasant evening.
I'VE never have any wailfowers at
our dances. The Young Women's
Christian association and the Young
Mems Christian association work in
cooperation. Whenever we want any
men for our affairs we send down to
them. When they want some girls
they send ut to US. A number of the
girls were recently invited to stunt
evening at the Young Mems Christian
association headquarters. The girls
sang and provided the entertainment,
while they made the boys do stunts
trim hats and all sorts of things.
They had great fun"
Lonely Girl and Man.
All of which should help solve the
problem OF the lonely girl who doesn't
know any men and the lonely man
who doesn't know any girls.
Have you ever found that the beau
parlors and the other privileges you
offer we're abused? l asked Miss
Alexander.
81 do not think there has been a
single instance OF such a thing" she
said earnestly. Il have never even
had to seak to girl for dancing in an
improper manner. Personally, am a
great believer in putting girls on their
honor. The girls here have their sys-
tenn of self-government just as If they
were in a college.
Il believe that the beau parlor is
the solution to great social roblem.
The girl who may meet her men
friends in such a place will not be
likely to meet them on the street or
in the cheap amusement parks, and
there will be no reason for taking
them to her room. as she is constantly
tented to do If she lives in furnish
ed room house. A natural instinct of
youth is sanely satisfied, instead OF
being suppressed or misdirected."
Just now, alas, there are three fam
ing swords at the entrance of the only
beau parlors New York has to offer
long, long waiting list, an income
of over SIS a week and an age limit
of 50. But perhaps there'll be more
of them some day. There ought to be.

PROTEST REPRISALS
 FOR AIR RAIDS
Lord Bryce and Sir A. c. Doyle Claim Such Action Would Lower Brit
 ain in Eyes of World.

London, Oct. IS, 3:52 a. hibiscus sion in the press of the expedienay of reprisals for air raids continues. Lord Bryce writes to the Times to- day protesting against such reprisals.
 In this war, said Lord Bryce, Brit ain stood from the first for respect ing The Hague conventions and the rights of non-combatants. "To imi- tate the policy of savagery carried out by the German government in Bel gium and France and by the Turkish government in Armenie< he declared, would be to lower ourselves to the level of those governments
 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the same paper points out that French aviators already have raided Karls- ruhe and Stuttgart, the latter effort being announced as reprisal for raids on open towns in France and Great Britain. Tt Is dirty work at best" he says, however necessary it may be; but the dirtiest work of all would be to allow an ally to do it in our name while we explain to the world that we could not condescend to do it."

 GAIN IN SERBIA

occupied the Bulgarian town of Stru- mitsa, fifty miles north of Saloniki, according to official telegrams from Athens. This follows closely upon news that Serbians, with allied assist ance, have repulsed Bulgarian at tack at Vilandovo, turning the ad- vance of the Bulgars into retreat beyond their own border.
 Thus the Anglo-French-Ser action in the Balkans has leaped out of the field of surmise into a vivid foreground of fact and is asserted by London military observers to have been crowned at the outset with sue cess.
 Has Dramatic Qualities.
 This arrival of French troops at the psychological moment when the Ser blan struggle with 10000 newly ar rived Bulgarians at vilandoyo and Hundovo still hung in the balance, has dramatic qualities which for the mo- ment have completely eclipsed the military exploits in other theaters.
 The chief military importance of the aIlied-Serbian success Is the de- feat of the Bulgarian project of cut ting the Saloniki-Nish railroad, which is known to have been the Bulgarian objective. It is not clear whether British troops co-operated with the Trench in this operation, but a mes sage from Athens stating that they bad left Saloniki Saturday for the Serbo- Bulgarian frontier indicates they at least were near the scene of the fighting.
 No Teutons for Balkans.
 Russian and Italian help thus far has been only indirectly exerted by increased aggressiveness against the Austro- Germans, which makes a further defection of Teutonic forces to the Balkans impracticable.
 In the eastern theater the Germans again are attacking the Russian posi- tions southeast of Riga, but Petrograd commentators regard this to be purely 6 demonstration calculated to distract attention from the Dvinsk region and Galicia, which have gained greatly in imp ortance with the Balkan develop naents. It is clear that although the battle which General Von Ivanoff is fighting continues with varying suc- cess. the Germans have been unable to establish themselves on the eastern bank of the River Stripa.
 With a particularly intense artillery fire continuing on both sides in the Champagne region, the French war office reports slight progress. Al strong barricade to the southeast of Neuville has been captured and the Givenchy wood positions have been

 NEW HAVEN CASE

then bought in the property and dis continued the car float connection.
 This MT. Batts, on taking the floor, first explained to the jury.
 Tt will be necessary" he continued,
 for the government to show that these defendants have with an intent, which we will speak of as a criminal intent, conspired to monopolize the traffic of New England. The govern ment will show that they did these things with a knowledge that they were unlawful, that they knew they were violating this act"
 Must Consider Method.
 The attorney said that the jury would be asked to consider the method by which the alleged unlawful acts were done, as we'll as the acts themselves.
 The attorney said it would be neces- sary to show the conditions of New England traffic in 1890 and it's rela- t1on to the balance of commerce in the United States.
 Combination Not Unlawful.
 MT. Batts said he wanted to make It clear that there was no suggestion intended by the government that the
 ApcAAShS PcIIS oI LIlC ICW maven should have been returned to their original status. He said that the com blnation of these parts was not neces- sarily unlawful.
 The government and the law did not deprecate and undertake to punish those natural growths and expansions which might be beneficial, he said. but the New Haven was a combina- lion which lac, together and given good service with out bringing about situation where The people of this New England dis trict at the mercy of a. powerful com bination."
 How Charles s. Mellen, who is ex- pected to be the governments star witness in the case, first came to go with New Haven was described by the government attorney in reciting the history of the New Haven's sub sequent acquisition of the New York and New England. Mr. Mellen was then general manager of the New York and New England, had threat eed freight rate cuts against the New Haven unless his road were given certain privileges in connection with the operation of trains out of Boston. Chas. F. Clark, then president of the New Haven, yielded, but induced MT. Mellen to come to the New Haven as vice president. One of Mellen's first duties, MT. Batts said, was to start a suit against the New York and New England, to embarrass it, which he got certain Boston brokers to do.
 Another Suit Pending.
 There was, however at the time suit pending against the New England which, the government at torney said, had bee started at the in stance of Austin Corbin, former president of the New England, to re- strain a proposed issue of securities by which the New England wanted to raise funds. The New Haven direc- tors, MT. Batts charged, acquired this suit and caused it's prosecution By attorneys whose relationship to the New Hven was concealed" Nf
 The government would show, MT. Batts said, II. P. Morgan, Will liam Rockefeller. c. P. Clark, and Lucius Futile agreed to indemnify Corbin for the consequences of their maintenance of the suit. The suit resulted, he asserted, in the New York and New England going into the hands of a receiver, and the New Ha- ven purchased controlling interest in the stock.
