THE PUBLIC FORUM
LIVING ON ga statement that

er the wage scale Of women is not in
juring woman alone, but posterity;
for we know that when women are
forced to live on a miserable low
wage they become weak in body and
mind and therefore cannot give birth
to a strong, healthy and intelligent
race.
He or she who endeavors to dis
cover a means by which humanity
may merely exist, instead of live,
strikes a blow at the very vitality Of
pOsteTity which is so essential for the
development of the best that is in
humanity.
. I with thousands of others ask in
the name of pOsteTity that man and
woman work to better conditions for
posterity, rather than for the benefit
Of the few Opulent at the expense of
the many who must make the So
ciety of the future Marie Venus.
BIGHEADEDNESS. - OpuIence is
no criterion of wisdom, intellect or
benevolent disposition toward those
less favored with the material goods
of this world. Nevertheless, many
persons, as soon as they become af-
fluent or are raised a degree higher
in the social scale promptly affect
airs of superiority and disdain to-
ward their less fortunate brothers.
To be self-respecting is a virtue.
To be arrogant is a vice. COnceited-
ness is the badge of a parvenU and
also of the animals. Both sexes are
victims of this afflictiOn, and it has
been truly said that, if the female Of
the species is more vindictive than
the male in the absence of adula-
lions, it is also true that the male
under similar circumstances is no
less revengefuI than the female.

The grand jury begun an investiga-
ton OF criminal charges against wealthy
cloak and suit manufacturers accused
Of compelling some of their young
models TO compromise themselves by
entertaining out-ot-town buyers when
they come TO New York. This step was
taken after Mrs. Rose Kahn, the young
wife Of Louis J. Kahn, CLOAK manu-
facturer, Of 10 West Forty-second
Street. together with Kahn and three
young women models had testiied be
fore the grand jury.
Kahn and his wife swore that coax
and suit manufacturer had inauced MIS-
Kahn 70 leave her husband at their
borns in Arverne last August, after she
and the manufacturer had met many
tines last spring. Mrs. Kahn testliied
mat she had occupied the manufact-
urer's apartments. but she declared tnat
the man exercised a hypnotic influence
over her.
The testimony was largely based on
q damage suit brought by Kahn to re.
cover 500. 900. alleging the alienation OF
his wife's affections.

AUSTRIANS BEATEN
IN TWO DAYS BATTLE
Italians Hold Mountain Against
Repeated Attacks.

Rome, Oct. 5.-Austrian attacks
against Mont Colbricoa have failed
after two days Of savage fighting. To-
days War Otlce report says:
an the Travionolo, in the night Of
October 3, the enemy, after several
demonstrative actions against our
lines on the heights north OF the
stream, launched new attacks again
and again in the Colbricon region, on
the southern side Of the valley. Every
where they were driven off
Yesterday, after intense artillery
FIRE, efforts were renewed with fresh
troops, who succeeded in retaking one
advanced position toward Mont Colbri-
con, in the Piccolo Valley, which we
had captured the previous morning.
ION the remainder OF this front the
enemy was repulsed with heavy loss.
In the upper Cordevole Valley a sur
prise attack on the slopes Of Monte
Sief was driven of. The enemy srtil-
lery repeatedly shelled inhabited places
at several points on the front. Some
damage is reported in the villages OF
Sano. in the Adige Valley; Foei Avoltri,
in the upper Degano Valley; Timso
and Pajlaro, in the But Valley, and
also in Gorilla.
"Our batteries effectively retaliated,
destroying enemy eneampments az
Birncaum, in the Gail Valley, besides
wrecking the enemy's lines on the
Carso."

Lemberg-Kovel Defences
Hold Against New
Russian Forces.
DIG IN FOR WINTER,
is GERMAN HOPE
Other Fronts Raked for
Men to Save Galician
Capital.

London, Oct. 5.-Along the whole
front, from Kovel TO the Carpathians,
the Russians and Teutons are engaged.
On the Lemberg front, where the Cars
troops are storming the German posi-
tons east and northeast Of the capital,
the biggest battle is being vaged. The
Russians won some successes to-day,
but the Teutons are offering extremely
stubborn resistance.
The Cars commanders are throwing
fresh supply OF men and guns into
this struggle, while the Germans are
combing other fronts 70 stem the tide,
so that they can intrench along their
present line for the winter. Military
observers here consider the battle in
the east one of the most important OF
the year, but they do not hazard an
opinion as 70 its length.
Against the defences Of Kovel the
Russians are hurting huge numbers OF
men. but they have not succeeded yet
in breaking through a vital part OF the
line. In front of Lemberg they nave
been more successful, but they must
fight fercely before they can force its
defences.
Petrograd, as is usual while severe
battle is in progress, tells Of stubborn
hghting, and adds laconically; we
have captured at various points some
enemy positions" The decision has not
vet been reached. But one thing seems
certain: the struggle cannot continue
with its present fury for many more
