IRON COINS FOR eERMANY

Nickel Not to Be Used in New Five.
Pfennig Pieces.
Berlin.-The Bundesrath has passed
a law providing for the coinage OF
iron 5-pfennig pieces.
The demand for 5-pfennig pieces is
great, especially because quantities
are in circulation in the hostile
territory occupied by Germany, ami
more are needed. Under present
circumstances, however, the use of
nickel for coinage is held to be in
advisable.

ern front followed reports from chr

fensive in East Galicia against the ex-
treme left of the Russian army, which
hitherto has not been affected by the
reverse of the Cars forces, has been
successful and the whole Russian
force is now involved in the general
retreat.
This reverse and the rapid advance
by the Austrians northeast of Kovel

fortress triangle formed by the
strongholds of Lutsk, Dubno and
Rovno, built as a bar aaginst the

perts hint that the heavy lombard

London.-The Austro-German have
massed AN immense army for a drive

fortresses held by the Russians in
Poland.
Another great army of the Aus

A new factor has been added to the

the Italian troops sent to aid the allies
II their attempt to smash a way
through to Constantinople.
The Italians are believed to be on
the firing line and to have already
taken part in the operations against
the Turks. Increased activity among
the warships since the arrival of the
Italian convoy with a large supply of
ammunition, indicates a land and sea
attack in force will be made soon.

Paris.-The fighting in the Austro-

Doberdo section got into the Austrian
trenches, but had to give way suffer
ing severe losses.
At Gorilla, west and north of Toll

been important.
An air raid by the French on the

by Paris to no successful.
A Berlin wireless dispatch gives a

PLANS BUREAU
TO aid WORKERS
Commissioner Bryant Evolves
Scheme Under New Law
EXCHANGE BETWEEN CITIES
Local Employment Boards Asked to
co-operate-Possible to Place IN
employed of One Town in
Positions in Another.

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-In pursuance of chapter
AZ of the laws of 1915, which provides
for the establishment by the Depart
ment of Labor of free employment bu-
reaus, General Lewis T. Bryant, head
of the department, is evolving a plan
which contemplates a scheme of CO.
operation between municipal bureaus
of employment and the work of his
department in carrying out the pro-
visions of the law.
The act passed at the last session
provides that the commissioner of
labor shall have power to establish
bureaus in the offices of his depart
ment or elsewhere in the State as he
may deem advisable for the purpose
OF bringing together employers seek
ing employees and working people
seeking employment. This is the pre-
liminary intent of the law which will
be put into operation in November,
provided Commissioner Bryant finds
that the appropriation allowed his de-
partment by the last legislature will
admit of the expenditure required for
this new work. The work cannot be
begun before that time because the
1915 appropriation will not be avail
able until then.
Planning Cooperation.
The plan of General Bryant contem-
plates a system of exchanging of en-
ployes between city and city under
the general SUPPLEMENTARY of the
Department of Labor. For instance,
IfcTrenton has a vacancy for a me-
chanic, it's employment bureau will
make this fact known to the other
municipal bureaus, and in this way
men in one city may be helped to
work in another part of the State.
Commissioner Bryant, discussing the
plan, stated that he has already taken
the matter up with the employment
bureau conducted by the city of New
ark, and the officials there have it
under consideration.
81 intend to take the idea up with
several other municipalities with a
view to having them cooperate"
stated General Bryant.
The free labor bureau law also pro-
vides that information shall be sup
piled as to opportunities for securing
employment in this State and the
character of the work to be per
formed; to supply such information as
may enable persons to secure indus
trial and agricultural training and en-
ployment; to investigate the extent
and causes of unemployment in the
State of New Jersey; to suggest RENE
dies; to prevent distress from involuna
tary idleness and to record all labor
disturbances or strikes brought to the
attention of the Department of Labor.
Other states, notably New York,
have tried the experiment of state
employment bureaus and have found
them useful. New York's secured
thousands of positions during the
first half year of it's existence.

cases, the remaining number being
distributed in small numbers through
out the other counties.
The State Board states that the in
dications are that the month of Au-
gust will show quite an increase in
the typhoid fever morbidity rate, due
in part to the epidemic at Cranbury,
where more than thirty cases haze
occurred.

ing off, the number of cases being
74S, compared with 1913 for the pre-
ceding month. 1t was an increase

Osteopath's New Fight.
Denying the application for an order
to restrain the State Board of Medi-
cal Examiners from conducting per-
sonal examinations of several osteo-
paths for licenses to practice, Supreme
Court Justice Garrison stated that a
single Justice of the Supreme Court
could not act in this case; that action
must be taken by the Supreme Court
or branch.
An effort is being made TO have the
State Board issue licenses under the
act of last winter, which provides
for the licensing of graduates of a
certain North Jersey school of osteo-
pathy without examination by the
State Board. 1t was stated that mem
bers of the Board claim the right

KILLS SNAKE; SAVES GIRL.
Collie Dies From Poison After Making
Heroic FIGHT.

Caldwell, n. J.-Don, collie dog
owned by John Miller of Fairfield ave
nue.. West Caldwell, gave up his life
to save the six-year-old daughter of
his master from an attack by copper
head snake. The dog managed to kill
the snake. but died two hours later
from poison.
Agnes Miller and her older sister.
Clara, started out for romp with
Don. They were making for a small
clump of woods not far from their
home, with the dog close at their heels.
The dog suddenly sprang forward,
gave a growl and leaped upon good
sized copperhead snake directly in the
path of the little girl.
The older girl saw Don tackle the
snake. and she seized her little sister
and pulled her away from the reptile.
Both the girls then ran home as fast
as they could and told their father of
the adventure. Don got back to the
house, but died soon afterward.
Miss Clara Miller said that If the dog
had not tackled the snake Just at the
moment her little sister would have
been bitten by the reptile, which was
not more than three feet from her at
the time.
