Almost universally they answer their
own query in the negative. They
say that unless girl will permit
, familiarities from the young men with
whom she associates she is left beau
less, or, as one young woman pithily
puts it, "Unless a girl will let her es-
cort kiss her goodnight it is GOOD
NIGHT for hers, for she'll never see
him again"
other letters assert that a girl has
to be a good sport, and not too par
ticular, If she expects to receive any
attention from men nowadays; and
still other letters ask pathetically II
there are. no more men who care Tor
modest, shy, retiring girls.
Queer comment is afforded on
those letters by another letter which
1 received the other day from a man
who says that the reason that he, and
many other young men, do not marry
is because they can find no more
modest girls. This man declares that
he is in the search for a shrinking
violet sort of wife, as Diogenes was
on the search for an honest man, but
that so far he had never found girl
with whom he could not take liber-
ties of speech and action, and so he
remains a bachelor.
Here are the masculine and the
feminine points of view on the same
subject, and 1t is an Illuminating one
for girls.

Prohibition leaders declare the imposition
of heavy tax "a sop thrown to the in

of the tax will be borne by the women

past from the liquor trafnc predicting
that the increased price resulting from
the tax will not deter habitual drinkers.
The Unionlsts probably will make the
new tax a political ISSUE Leaders of

ATHENS, ApEh oV'
Reports here indicate that the occupa-

The British forces on the European side
have defeated, with heavy losses, every
attempt by the Turks to turn them back
on their ships. The casualties among the
Turks In killed and wounded number
10000, and many prisoners have been
made. Gallipoli and Maidas were seized.
British forces that effected a landing

where the Turkish line approaches the
Bulgarian frontier. are moving In south
easterly direction In an attempt to throw
line of positions across the eastern end
of the Gallipoli peninsula and thus cut
off all the Turkish land forces on that
tongue of land. They are reported to
have advanced 20 miles in the last five
days.
The British have intrenched their vari-
GUS bases and are slowly feeling out the
fortified positions along the peninsula
The heaviest fighting has taken place in
the territory between Cape Suvla and
the southern extremity of the peninsula.
There the Turks had strongly intrenched
themselves, utilizing entanglements and
masked pits, but the big guns of the
warships smashed the traps and opened
the way for the British advance.
On the Asiatic side the French troops
are progressing along the lines planned
and in every way are cooperating with

BOULOGNE, April 30.
The Germans have recognized that the
desperate attempt to reach Dunkirk has
failed. and have now turned their atten-
ton to collecting their scattered forces,
perhaps to enable them to make one more
attempt TO break through the Allies lines
to Dunklrk, Calais and Boulogne
Nearly all the ground lost by the Allies
has been retaken. All along the line
north of Ypres they are consolidating
their positions to render them strong
enough TO Withstand the German massed
attack, now being prepared in that di-
rection by German troops.
The new movement is being made by
the Duke of Wurttemberg, assisted by
Won Kluck, from Roulers
The German losses have been enormous.
Client and Bruges, which a few days ago
were overcrowded with wounded have
been evacuated and preparations are being
made for the reception Of more wounded
men. The number of dead is so great the
German Red Cross is forced to bury men
by dozens In pits alongside the railway
track. Others have been cremated.

Important Position Northwest of

PETROGRAD, April 30

PBTHUGRAD, AprII %.
The Russian occupation of Loubnta,
a small village to the northwest of
Uszok Pass, was decided achievement
in the Carpathian campaign for the rea-
son that II seriously endangers the i'm
portant railroad line between the town
of Uszok and Berezna, a line which
made possible the extended Austrian
operations in this region and at the
same time successfully retarded the Rus
sian advance In the direction of the
Uszok Pass.
This railroad, running Just to the rear
of the Austrian centre and paralleling
the line OF the most important submits
of the Beskid Mountains, has enabled the
Austrians to transfer troops almost in
stantly to any point on this part of the
Carpathian front, section which re-
ceived the main force of the Russian
lunge toward Hungary.
