to the atrocities OF Russians. Then
the soldiers attacked her and burned
her home. For a jest they cut Oft a
finger and threw it into her face. She
came to the German lines and was
desperately i'll for long time.
"No woman was safe from the Rus
slams. They came into towns and
ravaged the entire female population.
They killed the children and hanged
the men.
AT the end of the eighteenth week
my husband became i'll. He was sent
TO a hospital in the rear, and when
he recovered he lost his rank as teleg-

BORDER SOLDIERS
WIFE TRIES TO DIE
Turns On Gas When She Fails to
Receive Expected Letter.

Mrs. Annie Harris peered from the
window of her home, at $50 Grand
Street, Brooklyn, yesterday morning,
watching for the letter carrier. She
thrilled at the sound Of his whistle, as
she has thrilled daily for the two
months that her husband has been on
the border with the 9Sth Coast Artil-
lery. In all that time there had been
no letter, despite his promise to send
her his pay; but the shrill summons
always had the melody Of hope for the
young woman.
When the carrier turned her corner
Mrs. Harris threw hasty glance over
her shoulder to make sure that her two
babies were in no danger Of getting
into mischief during her brief absence
and ran down TO meet him. There was
no letter,
Later in the day neighbors found her
unconscious, the rooms filled with gas
and every window crack plugged with
paper. She had sent her children to a
friends house. At the Williamsburg
Hospital it was said her condition was
serious Her husband enlisted just be-
fore reinforcements were sent TO the
frontier, having been unable to get

YACHT CUT in TWO
BY LINER IN BAY
Brooklyn Party Rescued
by Boats from the
Lafayette.

While slowly drifting across the
inner entrance to Ambrose Channel late
Sunday night, the 35-foot sloop yacht
Drifter, with five persons abroad, was
cut in two by the Lafayette, OF the
French Line, bound in. The owner. Au-
gustus S. Meeker, OF 526 Flatbush Ave-
nue., Brooklyn, was at the wheel, while
his wife and three friends were in the
cabin below. .....
1--WE were sailing TO our anchorage
of the Bensonhurst Yacht Club said
Mr.. Meeker,' "when suddenly out Of the
low lying haze saw the sharp PROV OF
the liner Immediately off the starboard
bow. There was no time to do any
thing. | could not alter my course, as
| barely had steerage way | yelled
down the cabin to my wife, For Gods
sake, jump The next instant We were
hit Just abaft the cabin house, and
found myself in the water.
"All of our party were excellent
swimmers except Harold Haas. My
first thought was for him, as soon as
saw the rest Of our party was safe.
soon located Haas struggling not far
off, dived and, grasping him by the hair
dragged him 10 our dingey, which had
1oated a short distance away. Ny wife
and Henry Haas, father of Harold, clung
10 the cabin roof, which remained
afloat, while Malcolm Knox got astride
a water barrel. We were soon picked
up by a small boat which the Lafayette
launched and, with the exception OF
several black eyes and few con-
tusions, our mishap was not serious"
Captain Louis Roch of the Lafayette
said that he was on the bridge with the
pilot, Hans Andersen, at the time of the
accident, and that 1t was impossible TO
see the sloop until they were almost on
top Of her. as no lights were visible, her
mainsail boom swinging far out TO star
board. lie blew the whistle twice, sig
nifying that he was going to starboard
and supposed that the sloop would
alter her course. The next instant the
Lafayette struck the sloop, and he or
dered full speed astern.
Two Illuminated lifebuoys were cast
overheard, and the emergency lifeboat
was lowered in charge of the chief Off
Ger, Liegois de la Calme. Captain Koch
said that great credit was due 70 his
chief officer for the rapidity with which
he picked up the victims, who all were
landed on the Lafayette fifteen minutes
after the crash occurred.
An amusing incident occurred yester-
day morning, when the dishevelled
party were posing for their pictures be-
fore a battery Of camera men. One OF
the photographers told Mrs. Meeker,
who was clothed in a bathrobe loaned
by one Of the stewardesses, that the
camera men had come down the bay TO
photograph Sarah Bernhard, who was
expected on the Lafayette, ut that they
would be pleased to have her pose for
them instead. Mrs Meeker replied
that she was afraid she was only a
poor substitute, clothed in my cloak
Of many colors!" Whereupon the cam
eras clicked merrily.

aus women amt no heads for bust
ness"
There was the ring Of absolute con-
viction in Miss Pauline Krieg's tone as
she spoke out her hard-learned phi
losophy yesterday in the Ludlow Street
Jail. where she is spending three
months because of its truth.
She went on to prove her contention
with vehement details. She owed a
debt because she hadn't read a con-
tract all the way through, and that
was why she had been put in jail in
the first place. Then, because she
didn't know a subpoena when she saw
one, she had been fined 5000 for con-
tempt Of court, and, failing to pay it,
had been sentenced to Jail again.
Could any one give more proof that
women amt no heads for business"
"Nein," said Pauline, sliding back into
her own tongue.
Twelve years ago she had come
from Germany in the storage,
chunky, blond-haired fraulein, with
round pink cheeks and round blue
ewes. with a dream behind them. 1t
was typical German dream she
wanted 20 own delicatessen, full Of
sausages comfortably fat, like her own
countrymen, and coffee cake that IN
its freshness would remind one OF the
1,Dod housewives at home.
Made Her Dream Come True.
Working hard as housemaid in New
York, she lost her plumpness and her
mink cheeks, and even her blue eyes
faded little, but the dream remained.
She was making il come true herself,
by saving money, not as corporations
save il, but by quarters and dimes and

worn pennies. She kept them bright by
counting them over so often. They all

voracious banks that opens when there

When Pauline had been in New York

No Move Until Americans
Are Safe, Baker Tells
Compliments.
WINNING BLOODLESS
VICTORIES DAILY
Expected When Men Were
Called There Would
Be Hardships.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The National
Guard will be retained on the Mexican
border until it can be withdrawn with
out again endangering American lives
and property Secretary Baker so de-
clared the Administrations policy to-
day in answering a score of letters
from many parts Of the country COM
planning that the state troops were be-
ing held in service after the emergency
for which they were called out appar-
emily had passed.
In general, the compliments, whose
names were withheld, alleged that bor-
der service was entailing loss finar-
cially on mlitiamen and hardship on
their families. The Secretary replied
to all those seeming to merit attention.
By its presence on the border, he
wrote to one, the Guard is winning
bloodless victories daily" He declared
that American residents along the in
ternational line were enjoying a peace
and security they could not know with
out the military forces to protect them.
The department appreciates, Mr..
Baker said in another letter, the fact
that a call for military service on mil
tia organizations must inevitably
present cases Of hardship"
Says Militia Has Restored Order.
"The emergency, however, which re-
quired this call for the militia was one
of grave character" he added, "af-
fecting the safety and lives of citizens
of the United Statesmen, women and
children. The presence of the militia
on the Mexican border has restored or
der and given higher degree Of safe
" and security to the lives of our
people in that troubled country than
they have had for a long time. The
militia is therefore performing a val
liable service, and the fact that this
service is being performed without az
tive military operations entailing loss
of life to our soldiers is a cause OF
congratulation and happiness"
Referring to the elaborate and ex-
tensive training the militiamen are re-
ceiving under supervision of regular
army officers, the Secretary expressed
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-08-22

the opinion that IL would mt them 70
act in time Of war or other emergency
as a Supporting arm, or second line,
for the regular army, furnishing an
asset 10 national preparedness that
could not have been obtained otner-
wise.
Clearly, so soon as n restored state
of order on the border justifes II, these
troops will be returned to their homes,
he wrote. an the mean time it is not
possible for the department to say how
soon such O situation will arise, al
though the Mexican situation is one OF
increasing hopefulness."
--Admires Spirit of Guard.
In another letter he called attention
10 steps taken to relieve Guardsmen
where there is unusual hardship result
ing from their being called into the
service.
81 am filed with admiration for the
spirit with which the militia has met
this CALL" the Secretary said. "and with
which they are performing an impor-
tant and necessary service to their
country"
To another correspondent the Secre,,
tary explained that the National Guard
was maintained for just such exlgencles
a. that which now exists on the oorder,
and that it had cost the government
many millions to prepare and Keep ~
ready for such emergencies. He
pointed out that National Guardsmen
were fully aware of the duties they I'M
dertook when they enlisted.
All of the letters emphasized the
scientific and highly successful manner
in which the mobilization Of the Ma
tional Guard had been handled by army
officers. As evidence Of this, attention
was directed to the low sick rate and to
the adequate measures taken TO insure
proper sanitary conditions and provide
ample and varied food supplies.

premises. But how could Pauline know
that, when she hadn't read 1t all the

Folks who put clauses in leases and

tion that women won't read them all

All the money was gone, and bot

Ludlow Street Jail.
Presently she was released, she
didn't Just know why, she said. The
real reason was because the case was

Pauline didn't exactly understand. Her

something about IL. and she said "Yal"

feeling that she is through with them.
When her subppna 10 appear in the

put that neatly away, too, and was
glad 20 have seen the last Of Il. So
she was sent 20 the Ludlow Street
