GARMENT. STRIKERS TAG DAY
- PROVING SUCCESS

Money given the taggers who stand
on all principal corners today will go
to the treasury of the striking gar
ment workers. Girl strikers are
doing the tagging.
Late reports from taggers were
most encouraging to the strikers.
Chicago men and women are freely
Ioosening their purses to help the des-
perate strugglers against the greed
of an employing clique that refuses to
grant the workers living wage be-
cause they fear it might reduce their
annual dividends.
Sentiment favoring the strikers has
grown even stronger since the Chi
cago Church Federation and the
Women's Church Federation of Chi
cago have each come out unqualified
Iy in favor of public financial aid for
the strikers. These declarations each
represent nearly 400 churches.

Poor Mrs, Smith.

A minister was recounting some OF
his amusing experiences in marrying
people. There's an old custom, y
said he. "that the bridegroom shall
kiss the bride Immediately after the
marriage ceremony is over. It's a
good, practical custom, for it serves
more handily than anything else that
7 know of to dissipate the awkward
pause that almost always follows
simple, informal ceremony. For this
reason I keep the custom alive.

CHAPTER XIX.
The RAM.


In the closet off the Galland library,
where the long-distance telephone was
installed, Westerling was talking
with the premier in the Gray capital.
"Your total casualties are eight hun
dred thousand. That is terrific, Wes-
terling!" the premier was saying.
"Only two hundred thousand Of
those are dead!" replied Westerling.
MANY with only slight wounds are
already returning to the front. Ter
rife, do you say? Two hundred thou
sand in five millions Is one man out
Of twenty-five. That wouldn't have
worried Frederick the Great or Napo-
leon much. Eight hundred thousand is
one out Of six. The trouble is that
such vast armies have never been en-
gagged before. You must consider the
percentages, not the totals"
"Yet, eight hundred thousand! If
the public knew!" exclaimed the pre-
mier.
"The public does not know!" said
Westerling.
"They guess. They realize that we
stopped the soldiers letters because
they told bad news. The situation is
serious"
"Why not give the public something
to think about?" Westerling demanded.
"I've tried. It doesn't work. The
murmurs increase. I repeat, my fears
of a rising of the women are well
grounded. There is mutiny in the air.

the follies of war and martial patriotism,
and begs him to prevent war while he IS

at her home. She tells Lanstron that she
believes Feller, the gardener, to be a spy.
IaDstr0n confesses 1t is true and shows
her a telephone which Teller has con-
cealed In secret passage under the tower
for use to benefit the Browns in war
emergencies. Lanstron declares his love
for Marta. Westerling and the Grays pre-,
pare plans to use a trivial international
affair to foment warlike patriotism ana

army crosses the border line and attacks.
The Browns check them. Artillery, in

-
In the Browns headquarters, as in
silent after the preparations were over.
Here, also, officers walked restlessly,
glancing at their watches. They, too,
were glad that the mist continued It
meant no wind. When the telegraph
did speak it was with another message
from some aerostatic officer saying,
still favorable" which was taken at
once to Lanstron, who was with the
staff chiefs around the big table. They
nodded at the news and smiled to one
another: and some who had been pac-
ing sat down and others rose to begin
pacing afresh.
1--WE could have emplaced two lines
of automatics, one above the other!"
exclaimed the chief of artillery.
"But that would have given too much
of climb for the infantry in going in
delayed the rush." said Lanstron.
IF they should stick-if we couldn't
drive them backi" exclaimed the vice
chief of staff
81 don't think they WILL" said Lam
stron.
To the others he seemed as cool as
ever, even when his manned hand was
twitching in his pocket. But now, sud-
denly, his eyes starting as at horror
he trembled passionately, his head
dropping forward. as if he would col
lapse.
"Oh, the murder of 1.-THE murder!'
he bi eathed.
But they brought it on! Not for
theirs, but for ours!" said the vice
chief of staff laying his hand on Lam
strons shoulder
And we sit here while they go in!"
Lanstron added. There's a kind Of
! injustice about that which / can't get
over. Not one of US here has been
under fire!"

The wrinkles around his eyes that
shone with an artists enjoyment of
his work. Down under cover of the
ridge were his guns, the keys of the
instrument that he played by calls
over the wire. Their barking was a
symphony to his ears; errors of or
chestration were errors in aim. He
talked as he watched, his lively fea
lures reflective of his impressions.
ooh. pretty! Right into their tum-
mics! Right in the nose! La, la, la!
But that's off-and SOS that! Tell
Battery c they're fifty yards over. Oh,
beady-eyed gods and shiny little fishes
two smacks in the same spot!
Humph! Tell Battery that the
trouble with that gun is worn rifling:
that's why it's going short. Elevate it
for another hundred yards-but 1t
ought not to wear out so soon. I'd like
TO kick the maker or the inspector. The
fellows in B 81 will accuse us of mat
tention. It's time to drop a shell on
them to show we're perfectly impartial
In our favors. La, la, la! Oh, what
a pretty smack! Congratulations!

CHAPTER XViII-Continued.

Far up on peak among the birds
and aeroplanes, in rooted, shell-proof
chamber, with a telephone orderly at
his side. a powerful pair of field-glasses
and range-fnders at his elbow, and a
telescope before his eye, Gustave Eel
Ter, one time gardener and now acting
colonel Of artillery. watched the burst
of shells over the enemy's lines. While
other men had grown lean on war, he
had taken on enough flesh to fill out

1rs composer, porn 70 the red and sss-
come Captain Stransky in the red
business Of war. 1t was he who led
the thunder of it's verses.
II certainly like that song," he said.
Well he might. 1t had made him ia
nous throughout the nation. There's
Jehovah and birthstone in it. Now
we'll have our own"
"But we're always losing positions"
complained one of the men. Little
by little they are getting possession"
"They say the offensive always
WINS" said another.
Five against three! They count
on numbers" said Lieutenant Tom
Fragini.
There you go, Tom! Any other
pessimists Or anarchists want to be
heard?" called out Stransky. Just
how long, at the present rate, will it
take them to get the whole range?
There's limit to the number Of even
five millions"
Then the telephone in the redoubt
brought some news. The staff begged
to inform the army that the enemys
casualties in the last three days had
been two hundred thousand! Immedi-
ately everybody was talking at once
in Stransky's parliament, as he some
times, called that company Of which
he was, in the final analysis, unlimited
monarch.
How do they know?"
"Do you think it's fake?"
THAT sums up to pretty near mil
lion!"
"My God! Think of it-a million!"
"We're whiting them DOWN."
1T doesn't make any difference
whether Partow or Lanstron is chief
of staff"
They're paying!"
Paying for our fellows that they've
killed! Paying for being in the
wrong!"
Stransky, his eyes drawing inward
in their characteristic slant, was well
pleased with his company, and the
scattered explanatory badinage kept
ON until it was interrupted by the ar
rival of the mail. Partow and Lam
stron, understanding their machine as
human in it's elements, had chosen
that the army should hear from home.
"Hows this!" exclaimed one man,
reading from a newspaper. They're
going to put up statue of Partow in
the capital! It's to show him as he
died, dropped forward on the map, and
in front Of his desk field of bayonets.
On one face of the base will be his
name. Two of the other faces will
have God with us!' and Not for
theirs, but for ours!' The legend on
the fourth face the war is to decide"
Victory! Victory!" cried those
who had listened to the announcement.
Stransky was thinking that they
had to do more than hold the Grays.
Before he should see his girl they had
to take back the lost territory. He
carried two pictures Of Minna in his
mind: one when she had struck him
in the face as he tried to kiss her
and the other as he said good-by at
the kitchen door. There was not much
encouragement in either.
"But when she gets better acquaint-
ed with rue there's no telling!" he kept
thinking. 81 was fighting out of GUS
sedness at first. Now I'm fighting for
her and to keep what is ours!"

After thunderstorm took a walk
behind our lines, to dry my uniform on

where many of our soldiers are buried.
In the little graveyard I found the

After the hussar was buried the
chaplain begged the landsturmers to
dig reserve grave, but only one of
them consented and went to work
again. He was q small farmer from
Baden and the father of large fam

he had three sons at the front and two
of them had already earned the iron
cross. Some jolly young fellow will
soon be In the ditch that have made

his job.

BRYAN CONFERS
WITH PRESIDENT
FOR SOLID HOUR

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-For the
first time since he relinquished his
post as premier Of the cabinet, william
Jennings Bryan visited the white
house today. He was closeted with
President Wilson for nearly an hour
and officials generally regarded the
meeting as one of the most important
since the president assumed office be-
cause OF the effect it may have on his
political fortunes.
Bryan insisted, however, that there
was no Significance In his call, but
that he had simply paid his respects
prior to leaving for Florida tonight"
Despite the official attitude 1t was
generally accepted that the real OBJ
ject Of Bryan's call was to find out
what the president had in mind to rec
ommend to congress on the subject OF
war preparedness. Bryan refused 70
discuss his visit.
Il cannot discuss a conference with
the president" he said. Anyhow

IN INDICTMENTS

The grand jury. which reported late
Tuesday afternoon, returned eight in.
dtctments. Arrests have been made
on four of them and warrants have
been prepared by Prosecutor Keller In
the other four but the arrests have
not been made.
Frank Meyers and Ed Feltman, two
well known cigar store proprietors
were indicted for the illegal sale OF
cigarets to minors. Several other cas-
es OF selling cfgarets to minors were
investigated by the grand jury and II
is probable that additional arrests
will be made. Both of these men have
been placed under 500 bond.
Joseph Torbeck. proprietor Of the
Murray Pool room, on the corner OF
Tenth and Main streets, was indicted
tor allowing minors to play pool. His
bond was also fixed at 500. He has
been summoned to appear In circuit
court on October 4.
The charge of involuntary man
slaughter was placed against Michael
Coleman, colored, In an indictment re
turned yesterday. Coleman is now al

at $4,000. He has been charged with
the murder OF his step-son, Eugene
Coleman.
Twelve cases were investigated BY

submitted to the court 1t is probable
that among the other indictments, will
be an indictment against Alfred I'm

old man, 1t is alleged. Underhill left
