 In our last weeks items, we wrote of the death angel visit ing the home of Mrs. Victoria Pickens Saylors, on December 27, and claiming for it's own, one of her twin boys, little Sid hey. This was almost heart. breaking, but when death came again Sunday evening, Decem. Der 31, and took little Silva the other twin, 1t seemed more than we could bear. These lit. tie rosebuds just blossomed in to the home about seven weeks ago, but had become the ios and life of. the home. They were stricken with bronchia pnuemonia and only lived i; few days. Little Silva would re vive and seemingly get better and the family had hopes o1 his recovery, but Sunday even. ing the Lord sand, Tt is finish ed, come up higher, land little Silva answered the call and went home to be with his fath- CT, the late Dr. G. s.

WOMEN AS SOLDIERS.

It was recently reported that 120N women of Texas and Oklahoma, most ly wives of soldiers, had volunteered to form a regiment which if necessary would fight in the trenches. Their suggestion was however that they might be more useful behind the lines in signal and patrol work. This fine manifestation of patriotism was no doubt prompted by the superb he- Ioism of the Russian female Bat talions of Death"
 Women are fast developing more physical strength, and many of them would put men fighters to flight. In the early days following the discovery of the American continent, there were many tribes with women Amazon fighters. The explorers were afraid
 of, them, as they fought with tre- mendous tenacity and fearlessness of death.
 Also the day has gone by when you
 can set any particular limits to the things women should do. They will make their own limits. They are en- tering lines of work formerly closed, and in a few years will be all through our factories.
 But this does not mean that it would be wise to let a regiment of tilSiIl SO AAeo lAc AioHt llIlc4 U CiiShOo' Such a use of their devotion would be accepted as a sign of weakness by our foes. They would say that ours men
 refused to fight, therefore the women had to, as was the case in Russia Fortunately our men are no slack CTS. They still claim fighting as their business, and they will attend to that end of it. They would not willingly expose women to the special perils arising from their sex. There are however multitude of tasks behind l the firing lines that women can per form, and thousands are doing these things now. Volunteer effort has its | own unique quality and enthusiasm l If women feel like enlisting and form l ing groups for war service, there are | plenty of tasks they could very well
 assume.

ToDAY's ANNIVERSARIES

Domitian. one of the cruelest em- perors of Rome, was assassinated by conspirators on Sept. IS, i n the year 96. For fifteen years he had been the terror and detestation of his subjects. He was stabbed by a man who was reading to him the particulars of a pretended plot, and quickly dispatch
 ed by the other conspirators. There was . general rejoicing among the populace when the news of his end became known. The first dismem
 berment of Poland. by Russia, Prus- sia and Austria, was arranged on this date in the year t1772. One third of the whole kingdom had been seized after a compact had been arranged between Frederick the Great and Catherine of Russia and in which Austria was invited to take part Two other partitions were made. one in 1793 and another in 1795. which last comptete~ the .w5-..- and took the whole of the kir seonn.

ACCIDENT KILLS HERO OF NUMBER
 OF AIR BATTLES
Risked in Hail of Bullets Often Only to Fall From
 Machine.

Paris, Sept. 1S-Captain Roecken, one of the oldest in service and one of the most remarkable of French military aviators, has just been killed in a flying accident at Villacoubly, after risking death a thousand times over the enemy's lines.
 Captain Roeckel was the creator of the French system of regulating ar tillery fire from airplanes Among his exploits was the destruction of half of the artillery of the Sixteenth German army corps in the vicinity of Triaucourt, September 8, 1914. This achievement provoked, a general note by Marshall J offre regarding the use of "airplanes of combat
 Two. days after his success near Triaucourt, Captain Roeckel, flying at a height of 800 yards, discovered the position of a division of Bavarian in- fantry in the region of Vaux Marie, signalled it to the artillery, thens got back to camp with his machine .rid- dled with bullets and shell fragments. When the French infantry advanced and occupied the position, they found 4.S00 dead Barvarians on the field, all victems of the French 3-inch field guns.
 Captain Roeckel had won the cross of the leigon of honor, and the war cross with six palms for as many cita- tions in the orders of the army.

WINTER OF LITTLE ACTION |ON WESTERN BATTLE FRONT
 PROGRESSED BY EXPERTS
This Years Campaign Preparatory to Final Drives Says One
 Strategist--Kaiser Would Welcome Attack Now, ars For It Would Weaken Entente

The answer. is simple. When the
 United States has the men in the field
 to keep the drive going after it has rbeen started.
 Tn order to do this it will be nec- essary to put enough American flyers
 in the air to blind the German artil- tlery and enough guns behind the AL lied lines to keep moving them up just as rapidly as the Kaiser's troops are dIsfodged from one position after an other
 Next to the 4eed of aeroplanes the
 greatest need at the front today is some method of moving artillery rap idly. At present when positions are given up the land is so cut to pieces |; by shell fire that it is almost impossi. ble to move the guns

PLAZA

Thoroughly satisfactory in svaude- vfile of merit and photo dramas of unusual strength the bill that opened a three days engagement at the Plaza yesterday is one calculated to win the admiration of patrons of the ever- popular theatre. Appearing at the head of the vaudeville attractions is Mr. James Grady, character actor, as well known on the stage of the iegi- timate drama as in the ranks of var iety. Mr. Grady's characterization of the old bridge tender in his dra- matic comedy playlet is as fine piece of acting as one could wish to sec in fact, 1t is really above criticism. The Toll Bridge is the title of this exceptional offering and in thought and story It reminds, one of the old New England plays that were at one time so popular. Quaint in its speefaf stage setting and with pathor mingled with a denghtful line of comedy the act is one that every lover of vau- deviIle is bound to admire The feature picture, a Triangle production, introduces Bessie Barf1scale, prime favorite with Bridgeport ,theatregoers, in the ,lsading role of dainty and at all times interesting Dutch drama filmed under the title cf Wooden Shoes" All the points of production in this picture are up to the well known. Triangle standard and with Bessie Barriscale at her best as the pretty little Dutch immigrant Wood CT Shoes proves to be picture that touches hearts where they love to be touched and furnishes a most pieasur- able hour and a quarter. Delivering the goods in the form of the most enjoyable sort of Hebrew comedy puts Steppe and Cooper among the high class comedians of the variety stage. The manner in which they put Plaza audiences through the laugh paces at yesterdays performances shows that these clever chaps are simply dupli- eating the hits they Live made in other cities of the big circuits Gray and Graham introduce an act that is a decided novelty in the musical line
 While dispensing music they do moi overlook the essential comedy points with result that the act is creating no end of laughs as we'll as proving pleasing to the ear. The DuvaI Sis ters, two pretty misses, dance and sing pleasingiy and give a refreshing impression of daintiness that is alway, welcome. The Keystone comed, proves another laugh provoker. This new howler is known as, Your Uncle Dudley" and 1t puts over an uninter. rupted session of merriment from thu opening flash to the final flicker It. all action and fun action at that-an6 therefore fuIfills the usual mission of g Keystone Comedy. The bill will con. tinue with-usual three. daily perform. ances today and Wednesday.

PORTUGUESE AT WAR FRONT
Fighting With British and Not With
French Troops.

Fighting With British and Not With
French Troops.
Little has been said of the Portu-
ruesc troops since their arrival in
France. In fact, this omission was
made purposely because the Portu-
gucsc, for the concentration and IN
struction, were not connected with
the French army, but were In the
British zone.
Some Portuguese notahles were
picued that France had not received
their soldiers with official and sentl"
mental pomp and circumstance. DTt
the Portuguese should have known
that a reception this kind did not
depend upon France, for the PoTtu-
puese arc allies of Great Britain ana
lco-operatc with the army of Britain
alone. France merely granted them
the right of passage through her
territory.
The Russians, however, have been
received ut Brcst and at Marsel!!es
they were allies of France and more
than that, they came to be mixed
with the troops of France.
