PETROGRAD, May 12-(Via LOndon)
While admitting that the Austro-Gor-

with degree Of success, Russian
military authorities asserted today that
there was no possibility of a further ad-

In semi-officisl comment today upon
this situation, II was said the success OF
the Austro-Gernan forces was due 10
their overpowering numbers. They ad-
vanced along n line Of about thirty
miles. stretching northward from Nowy

east as stryzszow and Drsosow, the lat

VICTIMS OF LOVE- cannot I'M


derstand where these women who are
so-called victims of love" have done
anything to be lauded for by con-
senting to divorce from their part
ners-in-laws after making a public
scandal of their domestic affairs and
casting everlasting stigma on the
"other woman" The other woman
and the innocent children are the real
victims.
Man usually marries expecting to
become the head of home and fam
lily. When years pass and there are
no kiddies he naturally grows I'M
happy and disappointed, for he feels
he is being cheated. These are the
husbands that are usually mixed up
in affinity affairs. Their wives have
no cause to whine, for in nine cases
out of ten the trouble is that the
woman is unfit or is too lazy or sell
fish to obligate herself with the case
of family. In such cases, you will
note, the men are mostly well-fxed
financially and the wife is enjoying
life. ..

ried bachelors Of their husbands,
