General Brussiloffs offensive in Gal

had pushed on beyond lesiuVka, south
west of Stanislau, and reached and
occupied kalusz, a city of 5000 people
seven miles to the west Of the Stoka
river. The Austro German headquar-
ters in this sector was situated here.
Kalusz was stobbornly defended in
a sanguinary battle. but the Russians
pushed into the town and continued
their advance after having taken a
large number Of prisoners.

WASHINGTON KEPT
TODAY AS BIRTHDAY
Change In Calendar Moved
Celebration Up to February
Twenty-Five.

Although washington's Birthday is
celebrated in most parts OF the coun-
try on February -. IL is interesting
to recall that for many years his
neighbors and their descendants cele-
brsted his birthday in old Alexandria
on February IL. Therefore, today
February III, Is really. Washington's
birthday, and IL there were any whose
memory harked back to the old style
calendar they would be holding the
celebration now.
The discrepancy OF the dates is ex-
planned by Paul Wilstach in his
book, MT. Vernon. washington's
Home Snd the Nations Shrine"
doubleday. Page & Coz, where he
says:
"In February he was the guest of
the citizens of Alexandria for their
customary celebration Of his birth
day. Many maneuvers were perform
ed by the uniform corps-and an ele-
CANT ball and supper at night This
was the entry in the diary for the
11th of the month. Washington was
born February IL, old style. The new
calendar was in vogue shortly after.
which moved his birthday up to the
22d, but the old friends clung to the
old fashion, and so as long as he was
with them his neighbors in the little
city celebrated on the 11th."
Two Holidays Together.
Therefore, according to the old
calendar the two great American
Presidents birthdays would be cele-
brated on succeedings days in Febru-
ary. making the coincidence of the
proximity even more striking than 1t
is at the prtsent time with Lincolp's
Birthday falling OH the twelfth and
Washington's falling on the twenty
second of February.
A symposium OF representative
school boys and girls upon the effects
OF celebI ting Lincoin's and Wash
ington's Birthdays upop succeeding
days might bring forth some inter
estinE points in the discussion of
holidays. Is it better to have them
spread out than to have them come
together? In this instance 1t is per.
haps safe to assume that the tired
business man welcomes another Mon
day holiday later on in the month to
lengthen another week end, but the
22nd comes on Thursday.
To return to the celebration of
washington's Birthday at Mount
Vernon, Mr. Wilstach goes on to de-
scribe another occasion:
Two Celebrations I'm Year.
His birthday was celebrated twice
this year OF 1909. the second time on
the 22nd, within the walls OF his
own home There Miss Custis was
married at candle light to Mr.. Lave
Lewis. Washington chronicled events
in deceptiveIy few words. The we'd
ding was in fact a brilliant occasion
and was the elimination of a
romance which enlisted the Generals $
most interested solicitude, for Nellie
Custis was the object, next to his
wife, OF his tenderest affection. She
came into his life at a time when 1t
was apparent that his union would
not be blessed with a child OF his
own. He adopted her and brought
her to Noun. Vernon, and she never
kney any other father or any other
home than his.
