gence but who will nyot study, had
informed the officials of The Day
Book that they were being extremely
abused at the Mckinley high school;
that they had to pass in their studies
or they would not be allowed to waste
their time; and they even went so
far as to assert that illness is not
considered an excise for ineligibility,
which assertion is positively untrue;
and, not satisfied with this, this same
indolent element dared to imply that
the death of Walter Johnson was due
to the strictness of the faculty.
Now any intelligent student in the
Mckinley high school, any student
whose ideas are not influenced by the
fact that he or she is too lazy to
study, any student in the school who
has ever even seen Miss Mack or
Miss Beardsley, two of the most
open-minded, courteous and kind
hearted teachers in Chicago, knows
positively that they did their duty
with regard to. Johnson, and did 1t
with the least possible Gliding. Per-
sonally, 1 have known Miss Mack
for over three years, and have never
even heard of her reproaching a pu-
pill in class.
We all mourn the loss of Walter
Johnson and know, if he were here
today to give an explanation for his
act, in healthy, sensible frame of
mind, with mind wholly free from
bias, he himself would say he had
made mistake.-Lester M. Stearns,

THE GYM.-The gymnasium is an
ideal place for boy or girl in which
to often spend an hour or two.
The gym not only expands the
boys chest and makes him a good
athlete, and it not only gives the girls
their gracefulness and muscles, but it
is a great help in everything. The
gym not only builds our bodies, but
our minds and characters as well.
We all know that without exercise
we can't be healthy, and if we have
not our health we can't work, and if
we can't work we will get very little
profit out of our business, so when

PLANS TO RUN GARBAGE INTO
cENTS-NOT SCENTS

Health Commissioner Robertson
mailed letter to Mayor Thompson
yesterday making recommendation
as to how the municipal garbage
plant could be put on a paying basis.
Recently bids we're advertised for
dried garbage the plant is now turn
ing out. Only a few were received
and the price offered would not pay
the cost of production. .
In his communication Robertson
recommends that the plant be leased
to a private concern for six months
and that it then be taken back by
the city. He proposes to advertise
for bids for dried garbage and also

Members of the press and prom
inent exhibitors will have an oppor-
tunity of witnessing special exhibit
ton of The Victory of Virtue, the
first big feature produced by the
United Photo Plays company. The
picture will be shown at the Ziegfeld
theater Thursday morning at 10
O'Clock.
This is a five-reel production and
is marked by splendid work on the
part of the featured players-Gerda
Holmes and Wilmuth Merkyl. The
scenario is based on a story of every
day life in Washington. In working
out the plot a beautiful allegory has
been staged by Harry McRae Web
ster, who directed the entire produc-
ton. The allegorical part of the
feature is full of life and action and
takes place amidst scenes of great
beauty, which were taken at Starved
Rock and Highland Park. The Vic
tory of Virtue will be released on
Sept. 10.

BERLIN PRESS LAYS STRESS ON
VALUE OF SUBMARINES

Berlin, via The Hague, Sept. IT,
Most significant factor in German
American situation today was the APP
pearance of articles in Berlin news
papers, laying stress upon value of
Germany's submarine war on British
merchandise.
These articles carried statistics re-
lating to number of boats sunk and
their tonnage and argued that. Won
Tirpitz submarine blockade had
proved success.
Though it is felt here that what
threatened to be "crisis" has passed,
official circles are a bit uncomforta-
Bile in anticipation of next American
note, in view of what was considered
here the bluntness of last communi-
cation from Washington.
Submarine supposed to have sunk
the Arabic has not yet reported, al
though admiralty officials have not
fully accepted theory that she was
sunk by British warship.

While there has been some fight

and In Bukowina. the mountains Of
both the east and the west now are
the scenes Of the most engagements.
In the vosges, the French, after a
long fight, In which the position
changed hands more than once. have
finally established themselves on the
summit Of Hartmanns- W eilerkopf, q
mountain peak, Is miles northwest OF
Muelhausen. That is considered an
important success, as 1t gives the
French command of considerable
country occupied by the Germans.
The fight for the position has been
bitter, and has been under way foi
many days.
In the east, the Carpathians con-
tinue the scene Of the most violent
battles, the Russians attacking night
and day. In their last official COM

SEIZE OF PRZEMYSL.
Hereto Stand by Defeaders of the
Fortress.

Hereto Stand by Defenders of the
Fortress.
A striking story Of the last days
Of the Przemysl siege has been sent
by the correspondent of the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger.
As early as December the rations
Of the defenders grew scarce, and
the allotments were cut down. They
virtually gave out March 18. Bread
had long since been unknown. Horse
meat and rice lasted the longest.
The condition Of the defenders was
In every way precarious. Two hun
dred day died during the last few
days Of the siege. and there were
$4,000 in hospitals.
1t was decided March 10 to make q
inal attempt to break through the
Russian line. Each soldier received
two cans Of preserved meat-the last
Of the ratiOns-and was forbidden
under severe penalty to use both cans
on the first day. The men who vio-
lated the order, and there were
many, suffered because their weaken
ed stomachs were unable to digest
this unwonted amount Of food.
The troops sailed out on this last
expedition singing. but the flesh was
weaker than the spirit. 1t took them
seven hours to march four miles, and
many exhausted men were left along
the way. The expedition fought
bravely. but was forced to retreat.
The men came back singing, 40 they
had gone out.
The Russians who saw the des.
pefate plight Of the garrison made q
new effort. They began their bonn.
bardment the night Of March 20, only
. few hours after the exhausted mem.
bers Of the expeditiOnary force had
returned. The commandant decided
the fortress must be held until 9
O'Clock In che morning Of March %.
Preparations were made to destroy
the Notifications and the artillery.
The infantry regiments were with
drawn from their positions and the
civilian population Of Przemysl wa
assembled outside the zone Of danger.
Four battalions, with ten men and
four aeroplanes with eight men, left
the Przemysl fortress during the last
days Of the siege. OF them only two
aviatOrs have been heard from.
Five Russian officers and 1000 SOL
diers, prisoners Of war, were In the
fortress when 1t fell.

the girls eyes. II was the first

there made him realize that he had

When he left the girl and her
father he asked II he might come In
often to see them. which was more
or less Of a surprise to the girl. for
she had known him for I'VE years,
and he had never made It . point to
drop into her home.
She was even wondering, on the
following night, when, II ever. Frank
Judson would come, when she heard
his voice in the hall. He was telling
her father that he had been worrying
for fear she had taken cold.
Indeed, / haven't" Helen assured
him as she gave him her hand.

pened to appeal to you through your
hobby-the fire department. Now,

Frank Judson flushed as he had
flushed that day when the boys had
teased him. What does 1t matter?
II have come and I intend to keep
on coming-if may, Helen?"
