1T was foreseen that on the
declaration Of war, offensive &C

T Assem- volcano blazed out

FARMERS FLEE
Farmers who had returned to
their homes in the hope that
danger was over, again fled

conceded to be ruined, for the

to be merely enriching mud,

it cooled. Farms are covered

1t seems that our boys could play
ball all the time, but they didn't want
to. Money is no object to them, they
are more or less millionaires, mostly
less, and the $3.50 hung up for the
pennant winners was no object to
them. They are not proud and had no
desire to hang the bunting on the fair
grounds. They just stood around like
automatons until everything was set

CzARINA ESCAPED THE CROWD
UnweIeome Popularity Forced Wife Of
Monarch to Climb Ladder When
Recognized.

The czarina's popularity in Russia
has been enormously increased since
the war on account of the work that
she has been doing for the Russian
Red Cross.
It is interesting to recall that her
majesty once had an extraordinary ex-
perience for royal parsonage while
on a visit to Germany. She was out
shopping one day, attended only by
one lady companion, and she had
hoped to remain unrecognized by the
people. While she was making some
purchases in a jewelers. shop, how
ever, the news Of her identity got
abroad, and In very few moments
there was a large crowd outside the
premises.
Exit through the front door was out
of the question, SO the czarina asked
the jeweler to let herself and her COM
panion out Of the back Of the shop.
The jeweler replied that that was
impossible, as the back yard was in
closed by very high boarding which
would effectually cut OF their re-
treat.
That does not matter" said the
empress. Get a ladder and we will
climb over It,"
A ladder was brought and the car
ina and her companion rushed up it,
climbed over the boarding, jumped into
a quiet street, and made their es-
cape as quickly as they could.

AaaInat obeylna the Law.

Syracuse, N. William c. Red
field, secretary of the department of
commerce, who is in Syracuse, made
public correspondence between the st.
Joseph Chicago Steamship Company
owners of the Eastland, and the de-
partment of commerce relating to the
new seaman's act
Secretary Redfield believes that I'M
der the seaman's act the passenger
carrying capacity of the Eastland
should have been reduced from $50
to 1852. The steamship company OPP
posed the seaman's bill. The CORE
spondence comprises four letters.
In the first letter, w. H. Hull, gen.
eral manager Of the steamship COM
pany, registers protest under date
of June %, 1915, against the seaman's
bin being made effective on Novem-
Der 4. He wrote:
81 am confident that the disastrous
effects of this bill to American steam
ship lines are already apparent to ev-
eryone, and believe that an opportun-
ity should be given to have this act
modified or entirely cancelled"

owe DEBT TO women
British Government ACknowl-
edges Aid Of Fair Sex.
Momentous Question at the Close Of
the War VIII Concern the Dis
position Of Those Who Have
Taken Places Of Men.

In Great Britain there are two sub
jects occupying the attention of wom-
en- Just now. The first is how best
to keep in touch and train the women
who volunteered their services to the
government at the beginning Of the
war and who have not yet been called
into service. The second is whether
or not the women who are holding
positions formerly occupied by men
shall spend their wages or hoard it.
Considering this question the women
point out that everybody, the whole
nation, is being urged to spend, to
keep the money in circulation and to
help ease the financial situation for
the sake Of the country.
On the other hand, the majority of
these women are dependent on their
exertions for a living, and many Of
them had been out of work when
taken on by the government in place
Of men gone to war. Now when the
war ends and these men return they
will lose their Jobs. At club meet
ings, indeed at practically all gath
erings Of women, even over the tea
cups, this question is being seriously
discussed.
Along with 1t and Of equal import
ance is the question Of keeping to-
gether and rendering more efficient
that part of the $4,000 women volun-
teers for whom the government has
SO far found no need. The latest and
so far the most practical solution to
this problem Is to establish a train
ing school for these women volun-
teers. This school to be operated
through the war office, the women
to be paid for their time and work,
and be trained for the fields in which
they will sooner or later be needed.
To get the best results 1t is urged
that there should be board of voca-
tional advisers in connection with the
work.
In spite of the fact that these WON.
en- offered their services at the re.
quest Of the government, men in
various occupations have refused to
serve with them. The most pro,
nounced stand was taken by the tram
drivers and conductors in Edinburgh
When the first crowd of men left the
company to go to the front the com.
pany tried to put women in their
places as tram conductors. The men
working on the lines refused to work
with women conductors, so the com
