London, Aug. 3rd.-The First Lord of the
Admiralty, MIR. A. j. Balfour, has issued o
statement for publication, i'll the course Of
which be says: The second anniversary OF
the British declaration of war provides "A
fitting opportunity for a brief survey of The
present naval situation. The consequences,
material and moral, of the Jutlpnd battle
cannot easily be overlooked, an Allied
Diplomatist assured me that he considered
it the turning point of the war. The tide
which had long ceased to help our enemies,
began from that moment to flow strongly in
our favour. This much, at least, is true,
that every week which has passed since tie
German Fleet was driven into port, has seen
new successes for the Allies in one OF othor
of the fields Of operations. 1t would be an
error however 10 suppose that the naval
victory changed the situation, what it did was
to confirm it. Before the Jutland battle as q
fact the German feet was imprisoned The
battle was All attempt to break the bars and
burst the combining gates. 1t failed and with
lis failure the High Seas Fleet sank again
into impotence. The Germans claim Jut-
land as d victory, but in essence, they admit
the contrary, since the object OF q naval bat
lie is TO obtain command of the sens, and it
is certain that Germany has ppt. aobtaiAed
command, and Great Britain has not lost if.
Tests of this assertion are easy to apply.
Has the grip of the British blockade relaxed
since May 3lst? Has it not on the contrary
frightened? The Germans themselves will
admit the increasing difficulty of importing
raw materials and food stufs, and of exporting
their manufactures, hence the violence of
their invectives against Great Britain. Mr..

full and as we'll supplied as ever, the Germans
no longer are able to gather the masses OF
troops necessary to reap the benefit of
artillery preparation. 1t is 20 days since the
Germans made their last big attack on the
right bank of the Meuse, by which they OBJ
tanned small results at a heavy cost, on the left
bank OF the Meuse, nothing beyond local
actions have bten attempted by the lnvad-
ers.

THE KINDERGARTEN
ENTERTAINMENT.

The entertainment given Sunday Jan.
Ord, by the kindergarten pupils Of the
Talmua Torah was an unqualified success.
1t not Only delighted the large audience
but the tiny actors as we'll. They are all
eager to give another entertainment and
are begging their teacher to allow them
to do it all over again.
They gave eight numbers and every one
was beautifully rendered. There was one
class room number, two musical numbers,
three dancing and singing, and two calls
themes.
They entered into their several parts
with zest and abandon and in their utter
lack of self consciousness they could have
served as models to their elders.
Considering that everything was spoken
and sung in the Hebrew tongue and that
in all they have received instruction only
for a period Of between eight to ten weeks
their performance was not merely wonder
full but bOrdered on the miraculous 1t

WOMAN ONCE MORE
PROVES SUPERIOR
TO LORDLY MALE

Another case of the female of the
species being more deadly than the
male has come to light. e. f. Averill,
inspector for the U. s. biological sur
vey, reports that Mrs H. L. Tucker.
wife of a government trapper at Rich
land, Wash, is more deadly foe Of
coyotes, wolves and other predatory
animals than Is her husband.
Attired in male clothes, she gets
astride her horse every day and
and makes the rounds of the traps
which she knows how to set, bait and
scent as well or better than her hus-
band who draws the pay for the
beasts caught She is the daughter
of a Montana stockman and is an ex-
pert horsewoman. Recently her hus-
band acquired new saddle mount
which promptly threw him as soon
as he got asride 1t. Thereupon. Mrs.
Tucker mounted the animal and con-
quered it. Mr.. Averill reports that
Mrs. Tucker has applied for an ap-
pointment as a government trape5r.

these women who play for prizes at

this led to one councilman declaring
that some of the women in the city
are not confining themselves TO play
ing for trophies but have their little
games where real coin of the realm.
sometimes In real generous amounts,
changes hands.
Some were of the opinion that to
stop gambling with cards would ne.
cessitate suppression of all card
games If checks are barred said
one, what is to hinder the players
from keeping notes on a piece of pa
per and cashing in afterwards The
city attorney stated he was of the
opinion that the law permits the use
OF checks IT, after the low man pays
for the game. each player receives a
check instead of the high man re.
ceiving all This would make the
game equivalent to one for the treats,
he said. and the law permits this. The
mayor declared he wanted the ordi-
nance enforced or repealed as he was
tired of being called up and called
down for alleged gambling.
In the end D. was voted that the city
marshal shall give copy Of the
gambling ordinance to each house
where games are played. The atti-
tude of the proprietors themselves will
probably determine whether or not
"hickles" will be placed under the
han.

FORD FACTORY IS
SHUT TO RELIEVE
CAR CONGESTION
FOrty-TWO Thousand Employees
Will be Out Of Work Until
January Third.

DETROIT, Dec. 21.-GeneT-al
Manager Kllngensmith has an.
nOunced that the Ford plant will
close tomorrow until January 3,
for the purpose OF relieving the
railroad congestion. FOrty-twO
thousand employees viii receive no
pay during the suspension. This.
means a wage loss OF two million
dollars. The factory will sacrifice
the profits OF approximately
twenty-five thousand cars, as it
makes $500 daily.

doing this from a humane stand
point. We have lots of orders
and could continue shipping but
believe the railroads should not
be cOngested with the the COM
mOdities and not necessities Of
life, BY closing the plant we are
doing our share to assist the rail-
roads IN relieving congestion. It
will save fuel, labor and cars for
the transportation of freight

When is gambling and when is 1t
not?
This grave question is perplexing
the city council and last evening was
the subject of considerable specula-
ton. cogitation and deliberation.
There was no Solomon among them
to give happy judgment that would
insure the elimination of the moral
evil of cards and yet preserve the
pleasure of a friendly game.
The decision resulted from the
mayors query as to whether playing
for "hickies" or trade checks Is gani-
bling. Recorder Fitz Gerald produced
the ordinance which defines gambling
as any game played for money, checks
or anything that represents value. 1t
was plain that "hickies' represent
value and, almost before the discus
sion started, the city attorney and
chief of police had been instructed to
enforce the ordinance to the letter
