To the East Of Prussian Frontier Ber'
lin Reports an Advance OF
Teutons and the Capture
of Lipsk.

London.--While reports from the
Eastern war theater embracing the
region from Courland to southeastern
Galicia indicate that the Germans and
Austrians are still pressing the Rus
slams hard or tenaciously following
them in retreat, military observers
here hope that the approaching fall
will limit the Teuton's advance.
Both Berlin and Vienna emphasize
the statement that Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg's forces along the Dvina
river in Courland have renewed their
activities which were brought to a
sudden halt recently with the success
of the Russians in holding Riga as a
| menace to von Hindenburg's rear In
! southwestern Russia in the Brest-Lit-
| Ovsk region, the Austrians and Ger
mans are chiefly concerned in driving
Grand Duke Nicholas armies further
into the Pripet marshes, evidently
with the purpose of repeating the
early success of the Germans in the
Mazurian lake region Of East Prussia
To the northwest in the sector lying
only short distance to the east of the
East Prussian frontier, Berlin reports
an advance of Teutons and the cap
ture Of the town of Lipsk, lying just
to the west of the fortress Of Grodno,
upon which the aims of the Germans
now are evidently centered.
With the opening of the autumn
months military observers are direct
ing attention to the fact that the Rus
sian equinoxial storms are due to be-
gin about September q. They assert
that they are the danger limit to mill
tary operations in the Eastern fields.
It is recalled by some Of these OBJ
servers that the autumnal equinox
marked the turning point in the Ma
poleonic campaign. The first warning
was a light snowfall, preceding the
equinox, but soon afterward heavy
SHOWS fell and with them came dsas,

$4,000 JOB ON /
FARM GIVEN To
STENOGRAPHER
Mary Smith Of Chicago, Blue
Eyed Orphan, Selected for
the PankhurStS.
GLAD SHE'S FOUND HOME
Declares Fact She Will Have Some
one to Care for Her Counts More
Than Money-Gets Warm
Welcome on the Farm.

Chicago.-Mary Smith wanted a
home. She came to Chicago six years
ago from Wisconsin. She was eighteen
then and an orphan. She went to the
Wendell Phillips high school for two
years and because she was unusually
good looking and more serious minded
than the average girl of her age she
made many friends-but she found no
home. And then she left school and
went to work. Every morning for
four years she rode downtown from
her boarding house at $3.50 Kimbark
avenue, busted her typewriter,
Strengthened her hair that remained
golden even in the city and smiled
good morning to her various bosses,
But she had no home. There was NO
one who cared how well she sang or
played the piano or how tired she was
or what her dreams were made of.
Il was just sort of cog in a vast
automaton known as the CITY," said
Mary Smith, smiling with bright eyes.
~And / made $12 week"
Click-clickc went the cameras.
Mary Smith laughed. She swung her
heels from the edge of the table on
which she sat, looked out through the
window into Wabash avenue and
laughed again. For Mary Smith had
found home, a real one. She was
going away from her typewriter that
needed busting every morning, her
bosses who needed smiles and the
vast automaton that needed nothing
and In which her typewriter keys were
like cogs that clicked away forever.
Out of the thousands of girls who
answered Uncle Jimmy" Pankhurst's
application for a girl to be "a daughter
to him and inherit $4,000 when he
died." Mary Smith was the one Sc
aected.

my, with a twisting handshake and a

not at the welcoming party at $3.50
o'clock, for it was past her bedtime
when the train was due and she had
been sent protestingly to bed.
Aunt Louisa helped the girl unite
her green veil and helped her out Of
her white sweater. Then she dropped
into an armchair

porter asked Miss Smith.

said

ANTI-SUFFRAGE NOTES

Ant-suffragists have criticised the
bad Colorado laws for children so Sc
verely that a commission has at last
been appointed to draft better laws
another instance of what women can
do without the vote. These bad laws
allow boys of any age and girls of ten
TO carry on street trades. The report
of the child labor committee for No
vember. 1913. says 1T is scarcely
more perilous for girls than it is for
boys to sell papers, peddlc gum,
guide beggars. black shoes and tend
stands or engage in any other form of
street trading. Not only do children
who work thus out of school hours
gradually fall behind in their studies
and reach a limit of mental capacity
lower than the promise of earlier
years, but physically and morally they
suffer positive harm" These bad laws
we're passed after women had voted
10 years. and it is amazing to find
them constantly extolled by suifra-
gists. who declare that Colorado has
the sanest. and most progressive chill
dren's law on the statute books Of
any state.
