A WORD TO REV. D. E. OVER.

Dear Sir:-After hearing you
preach (although we are strangers to
each other) l know you are no
stranger to God, because of the earn
estness and great power with which
you preach his word. May God spare
you that we may hear you many and
many times. And l hope the time
will come when we may be able to
have Denvers great army of unre-
deemed men and women, to meet and
march in one great army to hear such
Christian truths as God has inspired
you to give us. 1 hope to have much
to say for you and your other Chris
tian pastors from this time on.
Yours truly,
ROBERT OLIVER

RUSE ALLOWING
AuSJR0-CERMANS
TO CROSS V|STULA

Austrian Headquarters, Via London.
Aug. s, 1910 A. Mt was by an I'M
usual ruse that the Germans and Aus
TRANS succeeded in crossing the Vistu-
la northwest of Ivangorod. They man
euvered with the object Of leading the
Russians to believe that they intended
to force a passage near Nowo Alex
andria. where they planned to cross
at Domaszew, where the river is divid-
ed by a number Of branches.
The Russians, puzzled by the COM
plicated maneuvers of the Austro Ger
mans, sent aviators to make observa-
tions. They reported seeing large
number of wagons loaded with straw
moving toward the front. The wagons,
however, contained pontoons and other
material topped with straw. The pion-
GERS thus reached the river and began
the construction Of bridges before their
real purpose vas discovered. Then the
Russians brought forward artillery and
opened terrific fire, but the bridge
building was proceeding in four places.
and the pioneers succeeded within So
hours in connecting the islands by
bridges and reaching the east bank.
The Germans Immediately crossed in
force and captured Domaszew and the
adjacent forests.

$3.50 FOR WOMEN 4
OVER Is YEARS OF
AGE IN STORES

BOSTON. Aug. 5.-A minimum weekly
wage of $3.50 for women over Is years
old employed in department and other
retail stores is provided for In the re-
port of a special wage board to the
minimum wage commission today. 1t
is provided that employees within TINS
classification shall have had one years
experience inexperienced female work
ers above this age shall receive not
less than 81 weekly, the board voted.
Minors between II and Is years snail
be paid a minimum of Sc and those
under II years not les than S.. In the
opinion of the board these salaries are
probably somewhat below the neces-
sary cost Of living, but business condl-
tions at present do not warrant high
er schedule. When the business is in
a more prosperous condition. these
rates may, and perhaps ought to be
advanced to somewhat higher level.
1t is recommended that the rates be
put into effect about January l. next
This wage scale after formal APPROX
al by the commission, will apply to
all establishments doing a retail BUSH
ness in the state The board which
made the report was composed of three
representatives Of the public, six rep
resentatives of retail establishments
and six employees. 1t was established
by the minimum wage commission I'M
der law providing for such boards in
industries in which the commission had
reason to believe a substantial number
of employees were inadequately paid.

GERMANS IN WARSAW

been denuded of virtually everything
that might be useful to the Teutons.
Factories had been stripped Of their
machinery and all war stores moved
into the interior Of Russia and the gov
eminent OF the city left to the Polish
population.
Will Evacuate Riga
The Russians also are preparing to
evacuate Riga, the port on the gulf of
that name in the north. The arrival of
the Germans 10 miles south Of Riga al
ready has been the cause of the civilian
population departing.
While expressing the fullest confidence
in the future, the British military critics
make no attempt to belittle the achieve
ments of the Teutons or the effect their
success is likely to have in the near east
and the west.
The German Feat
Since early in May, when they started
their great counter-offenslve in western
Galicia against the Russians who were
debouching through the Carpathians on
to the plains of Hungary, the troops of
LIE 'CihidAiS PO"CAS AdNO SLCdIcu Tic
Russians out of Galicia with the excep-
ton of a narrow strip of territory in the
southwest, have recaptured Przemysl
and Lemberg, taken Lublin, Chelm and
Warsaw. and are in military occupation
of virtually the whole of Poland
What their next move will be is a mat
ter of conjecture. Some military observ-
ers believe they will continue to attack
the Russians in the hope of finally
crushing them. a task which 1t is con-
sidered is rendered@difficu by the fact
that the Russians in their retreat lay the
country waste, making it necessary for
the invaders to bring up every ounce of
food required for their army.
May Attack Serbia
Others of the observers think Serbia
will be attacked, so as to impress the
Balkan states which remain neutral,
while still others look for a big offensive
against the Franco-British-B Belgian line
in the west. All of the observers are of
the opinion that wherever the new opera
ton is begun it will be on big scale
The Germans also have had local sue
cesses in the west, having recaptured on
the crest of the line in the Vosges a
portion of the trenches which the French
took from them some time ago.

So sure had the authorities been of the
fall of the fortress that preparations for
the appointment of civil government
and the installation of a civil admins
tration encountered at Warsaw are al
most complete and will be announced in
day or two The governor will, it is
understood, be prominent German mag
nate. Some difficulties over questions of
precedence may arise, as the civil gov
ernor necessarily must act under the
commander, but cannot outrank
him. These questions, however, may per-
haps be settled by the selection, of a
member of the royal house for the lat
ter post.

DECLARES MAINE
MEAT INSPECTION
IS NOT EFFECTIVE

Portland, Me-, Aug. THAT the
meat inspection in the State of Maine
is far from satisfactory from the point
Of effectiveness, is the statement Of
DR.. F. w. Huntington. local head Of
the United States Government Bureau
of Animal Industry.
DR.. Huntington does not believe that
the inspectors generally appointed are
either competent or fully realize the
responsibilities of the position. He
does not believe that State meat in
spection should be one wit less severe
than United States government in
spection.
Why" he says, does federal in
spection outStep all other inspection?
Because the inspectors of the Federal
government are thoroughly educated in
the art or science of inspection Of
meat food products. and are taught
to diagnose all the diseases which our
food animals are heir to, and to rec
ognize at a glance the pathological
conditions found on post norton ex-
animation and to know whether the
meat from slaughtered animals Is fit
for food or should be condemned"
"All veterinary inspectors Of the
Federal government" he says, have
to be graduates of some college or uni
versity sanctioned by the Federal
government. After a man gets his dip
lena he begins to learn the business.
He is sent to some large slaughtering
house in the West, probably to Chi
cago, St. Louis or Kansas City for
further instruction in the science of
sanitary meat inspection by the in
spector in charge of the place."
This inspector assigns him to work
under the supervising inspector who
instructs him in all the methods en-
ployed in inspection, and after he has
thoroughly learned the business he is
placed under the supervision Of the
inspector in charge of some station,
for duty. from where he climbs the
ladder or falls from it according to
his ability"
