London Remembers Bu-
reaucratic Graft.

London, Aug. 10.-"Thousands of
cases of ammunition Of every kind.
when opened at the front, were found
to contain rubbish" says the Daily
Mail in an account of the conditions
under which the Russian army has
been fighting. This situation is pop
ularly ascribed to the work Of Ger
tories"
This report revives fears in London
that corruption in the Russian army
may be to blame for the recent dis
asters. The world has not forgotten
the revelations of scandal In the Rus
sian bureaucracy in the Russo
Japanese war. In that war the Rus
sian fleet was sent against the Jap
anese with it's ammunition magazines
filed with sawdust, while the army
was sent to the front with vast quap-
titles of worthless shells.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-10-02

There are many fundamental differ ences between men and women which strike deeper than breadth of shoul- ders and number of ribs on the right side.
 Men deliberately unearth matters of importance and women stumble on the same things in the dark. It is then a question of the individual as to the complications that result.
 This has been remarkable after noon. and I wish Jane had been in Glendale to witness it.
 Say, Evelina, all the folks over at our house have gone crazy, and I wish you would come over and help Cousin James with 'em,'' Henrietta demand ed as sat on my side porch calmly hemming a ruffie+ on a dress for the kitten, Everybody sews for the twins, and, as much as I hate it, I can't help doing it.
 .'Why, Henrietta, what is the mat ter?' I demanded as I hurried down the front walk and across the road at her bare little heels. By the time l got to the front gate I could hear sounds of 1amentation.

people, and Sallie started the crying Dead's dead, and if Cousin James wants lem run over wants em run over too.' She answered over heI shoulder as we hurried through the wide front hall.
 Sallie sat in the large armchair in the middle of the room weeping, in the slow, regular way q woman has of starting out with tears when she means to let them flow for hours, may be days, and there were just five echoes to her grief, all done in different keys and characters.
 Cousin Martha knelt beside the chair and held Sa1lie's head on her ample bosom, but I must say that the expres- sion on her face was one of bewilder- ment, as well as of grief.
 The three little Horton cousins sat close together in the middle of the old hair cloth sofa by the. window and were weeping as modestIy and help 1essly as they did everything else in life, while Mrs. Hargrove. in her chair under her sons portrait. was just plain ly out and out bowling.
 And on the hearth rug before the tiny fire of oak chips that the old la dies liked to keep burning all summer, stool the master of the house, and for once in nay life have seen the person Iacation of masculine helplessness. He was tragedy, and I flew straight to him with ar=ls wide. open, which clasp ed both his shoulders as I gave him a good shake to arouse him from his paralyzation.

 -I'm a brute, Eyelina,'' he answered, and a sudden Encouragement lined every feature of his beautiful Biblical a face. I couldn't stand that, and 1 hugged hin tight to my breast for an instant and then administered another earthquake shake.
 s|Tell me exactly what has happen ed,'' I demanded, looking straight into his tragic eyes and letting my hands slip from his shoulders down his arms until they held both of his hands tight and warm in mine.
 Jane, l was glad that I had offered the cup of my eyes to him full of this curious intersex elixir of life that you have induced me to seek so blindIy, for he responded to the dose immediately, and the color came back into his face as he answered me just as sensibly as he would another man.
