WAR STRATEGY SPLITS
BRITISH CABINET.

LONDON, Eng. Dec. 1.-THE politi-
cal crisis still occupies the center OF
things in London. The London Star,
paper which generally has correct
information on things political, in a
statement printed this morning says
that the real reason for the cabinet
split is Question of strategy.
There are, according to this paper,
two factions in the government, the
one, headed by David Lloyd-George,
minister for war. which wishes to con-
centrate all the available forces Of the
Entente Allies not needed for pure
ly defensive campaign in the Western
theater of the war, upon gigantic of
fensiYe movement in the Balkans,
with Saloniki as the base of opera
tions.
The other faction, it is declared,
has been advocating all of the effect
ives of the empire and allies in the
French and Flanders theaters, and
forcing the issue there. The fact that
Lloyd-George has rendered his resig-
nation is not regarded as indicating
that the little Welshman has been de-
feated in his fight for the Eastern
plan. but rather that he is forcing the
hand of his opponents in the cabinet.

MAckENSEN thanked BY
SUDDEN SLAV ATTACK

PETR0GRAD. Russia, Dec. 80
Hastily retreating from movement by
the Russians between Bucharest and
the Danube, which seriously threaten
ed their flank, Bulgar-German force,
forming ia part of the army OF Won
Mackensen. was forced to give ground
and the movement to encircle the Ru-
manian jcapital was defeated, accord
ing to reports from the Russian COM
mander in Rumania.
The Germans were surprised by the
appearance of the Russian force. be-
ing unaware that any achievements
for King Ferdinand had arrived on
the scene, and their retreat was pre-
cipitous.
Abandon Guns
The Teutons abandoned many guns,
of all sizes and much material, be-
sides losing heavily in killed and
wounded and leaving prisoners in the
Russians hands.
That the appearance of the reliey-
ing forces came just in the nick of
time to save Bucharest from invest.
ment and bombardment from the
north is shown in the fact that the
Germans were at work upon num-
Der of emplacements for heavy guns,
which they apparently we're about to
bring up and mount for the shelling OF
the city.

WOMAN HEADS BRANCH BANK.
Big London Institution Is Training
Others to Become Managers.

LONDON, Nov. A. - One of the
greatest British banks, the London
City and Midland, has appointed wo-
man to a branch management. The
branch is in a remote country dis
trict, but the bank is credited with the
intention of going further in the mat
ter, and apparently thirty or forty
women are being trained in readiness
to take up positions.
An exceptionally large percentage
of the employees of the institution
have Joined the colors, and the short
age of men is likely to be even more
serious in the new year, when the
exemption period of many of the re-
naming members of the staff ex-
pires.
81 do not like the idea," said an Of
ficial of the bank, "but it may be nee
cessary to extend the sphere Of use
fulness in connection with of staff
of women, who have done, and are
doing, excellent work. Nothing is
settled at present, but we may find it
expedient, in view of the shortage Of
men, to put women in control of some
Of our country branches.
I appreciate" he added, "the diff
ficulty of getting men to serve under
the control of women, and as SO.
luton of that awkward problem wt
should see to it that in these branch
es the staff would be all women"

Time is worth money, but the farm
er who is willing to jog along ten hours
over a bad road when concrete road
"a road with the maintenance built
in twill bring him to the same point
in less time and with greater ease, is
somewhat like the negro who was
feeding corn in the shuck to his hog
when an deficiency engineer" drove
up.
"Mose, do you know that if you
shucked that corn, shelled it and then
boiled it little, your hog could eat
it in a whole lot less time?"
"Maybe so," asid Nose, with a
spreading smile, "kin ye tell me how
much time is wuth to hog?"
"Nothing to the hog, of course, but
isn't it worth something to you to ge'
it to market sooner?"
The smile of doubt spread into one
of discernment Nose saw.
The man who learns that he car
turn time wasted on bad road int

ducts over concrete road, is the farm
er whose viewpoint has been correctet

TORONTO, Can, Nov. 4--One of
tFe very apparent changes which the
was has caused in Canada within
the last ten months may be seen at
anv time in Toronto through tie wind
ows of any demonstration uptown
banking office. Women have taken
their places behind many desks which
less than year ago were attended by
men. All the banks of Canada are re-
cruiting their stats, both at the head
office and throughout the entire
system of branches, from the coun-
try's feminine population. The war
has taken from the banks a very large
proportion of their men employees,
and the breach in the ranks Of busi-
ness is being filled largely by girls.
When the war was declared the
number of men of military age en-
ployed in the banks of Canada was
14,341. At the beginning Of April
1916, almost SO % of that number had
enlisted. The draft upon the stats
of the banks was particularly heavy
during the first three months of this
wear, and led to the general employ
ment in clerical positions of qualified
young women. 1t was estimated bI
a bank inspector that at least S,5OC
women clerks are now at work IL
banking offices from one end of Can
ada to the other. That means that a
least one quarter of the present mum

Had Bought Pony from James DOwell
in This City, Wednesday Morn
ing-Animal Seemed Pleased.

The days of wonders never cease.
If you would see horse riding IN
the back seat of an automobile you
would pinch yourself and look again.
That is what many Mexico citizens
did Wednesday afternoon when they
saw j. l.. Dunn, of Galloway County,
drive out of this city in his Ford
car. On the rear seat was a large
negro and standing in front of him
and held firmly in his grasp, was a
Shetland pony.
The pony had been bought by Mr..
Dunn from James Dowell. He did
not want to ship II to his home in
Galloway county and it was impos-
sible to lead it behind the car, SO
the animal was loaded into the ma
chine and enjoyed 12-mile trip over
land. This is no doubt the first time
in the history of the motor car in
this section of Missouri, if not in the
West, where a pony rode rs miles in
the back seat of Ford touring car.

FAMous YIpDIsH POET DEAD.

NEW YORK, Nov. A. - Leading
Jews in New York have just received
word of the death in Odessa, Russia,
of Simon Samuel Frug, noted for his
poetry in Yiddish. Mr.. Frug was
widely known also as writer in Rus
sian. He was born in Russia, and
when 16 years old was taken up as a
student by a famous Russian writer,
who taught him the technique of his
art. Mr.. Frug began writing in Rus
sian, but later took the use of Yid-
dish to convey his thoughts to his own
people. At the time of the program
in Odessa and Kishineff he wrote a
poem calling upon the Jewish people
to send money for bread for the liv-
ing and shrouds for the dead.
| Jews of the East Side are pre-
pairing great memorial in honor OF
Frug.

CALLS TT "GREAT WET WAY"

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Great
Wet Way" is the name applied to
Broadway and other saloon filled
streets by a minister in this city.
"If the saloons of this city were plac-
ed end to end they would make the
longest street in the world" the pas
torsaid. "Dives are wide open. There
are more than 1,4OO churches in this
city, one for each $500 of the popula-
ton, but there is saloon for every
$50 people"
His words have started contro-
versy with the liquor people on one
side and the Prohibitionists on the
other. The ratio of population to
churches and saloons is used by each
side in the arguments to down the op'
position. Figures never lie, but they
can be twisted,
