Situation Changed Overnight

The situation in Greece was changed
overnight. Following the dethrone-
ment of Constantine, French troops,
operating from the gulf port of Nolo,
have overrun practically all of Thes-
salv as far west as Trikala, and almost
to a junction with the Italian armies
in Albania. The government of Vent
zelos at Salonica, heart and soul
with the Allies. has gained broad
section of the Grecian mainland for us
jurisdiction, directly back of SarralPs
line of camps Evidently the accession
of King Alexander is not TO be per
mitted to interfere with the develop
ing power of the Provisional Govern
ment.
On the fighting front in Macedonia
there are also signs of a realignment.
Among these is the voluntary retire
rnent Of the British on the Struma, the
extreme eastern sector of the Allied
front. Sofia reports that they have
withdrawn to the brigehead on the
river bank. abandoning the villages OF
Osmanli. Barakli, Juma Kumli, Keupri,
Prosenik, Kalendra, Beglikmah, Salmah
and Kakarasha, which were left In
flames.
4 Some observers have interpreted this
/ withdrawal as the beginning Of re-
treat upon Salonica. but it is pointed
out that these villages would be useful

the withdrawal of the British forces to

region are interpreted here as the pos
sible prelminaries to an offensive up
the valley of the Nardar River toward
Nish.
General Sarrail's previous offensive
was admittedly a holding or contain

German and Austrian units in the Bal

enforcement of other fronts. Though,
with the connecting link of the Italian
forces, the Allied line stretched straight

lEgean to the Adriatic, their rear, as
we'll as their line Of communication IN
the Gulfof Salonica, was constantly open
to the menace supplied by the nests Of

salv. With King Constantine on the
throne and the German Kaiser ruling

STRUCK BY AN AUTOMOBILE.
Rasmus Lauritzen Run Down by an
Automobile on Elizabeth Street
on Sunday Night.

Rasmus Lauritzen, aged forty-eight
years, who gave a Chicago address but
who is employed at the Petersen bak-
cry on Elizabeth street, is at the Keno
sha Hospital suffering from severe
injuries which he received just before
ten o'clock Sunday night when he was
struck by an automobile driven by The
Rev Joseph J. Conway, assistant pas
tor of st. James Church. He has
severe bruises about the head and arms
but physicians declare he is greatly
improved today and that he will re-
cover. The accident occurred at the
corner of Grover and Elizabeth streets
Father Conway had been called to the
home of one Of his parishioners on the
west side of the city and was returning
to the parish house at the time Of the
accident. In the snow storm he failed
to see Lauritzen crossing the street
Father Conway hurriedly picked the
man up and carried him to store on
the corner and summoned the ambul
ance and physicians. He had been
operating the car at very moderate
rate of speed and the accident was due
entirely to the fact that it was impos
sible for him to see the man in the
street in front Of him. Father Conway
has kept in constant touch with the hos
pital and he has been delighted with
the report of continued Improvement
in the condition of Lauritzen

COOKS MILLIoNAIRBs SOON.
Young Lake Forest Matron Says the
Plutocracy of the Country VIII
Soon be Confined to Cooks.

A young Lake Forest matron who
recently visited in Kenosha has tale
of woe to tell regarding the high cost
of living which overtopped that of all
other horrors of present boosted prices,
which were told by the friends with
whom she was talking.
81 was paying my cook SIG week
and my two other maids $12 each,'
she said, "and yet last week the cook
told me she would have to have a raise
or she would leave as the work was
too strenuous. I told her to leave,
then, and she calmly walked away
showing no regret at leaving behind
what would be fair pay for laboring
man with family to support, when
one considers that included In the SIG
were her board and lodging. At this
rate the cooks will soon have all the
wealth of the country in their coffers.''
The strange sequel to the tale was
that the young housekeeper had not
been able to find competent cock to
take the place of the retiring one. Of
Forest is one of the most expensive
suburbs of Chicago in which one may
live, and that a greater skill is re-
quired in a cook employed by the mis-
tress of one of those establishments
which only millionaires could afford to
maintain, than would be the case in
less wealthy household. But even so,
it would seem that with positions like
that in view there would be dozens of
applicants for each, and the supply
would exceed the demand.
One would imagine that many young
women who now enter less certain
financial avenues to win a livelihood,
would desert typewriting, arduous
nursing, strenuous factory work and
other positions for the purpose of
training to become efficient cooks and
housemaids. The work in this service
in well regulated households no longer
extends over indefinite numbers of
hours each day but is as defined as the
worktime of the factory girl and has
the advantage of entire afternoons off
at least once week.
Domestic service seems to be the on-
ly sort Of service, the wages of which
have increased in ratio to the increase
in the cost of food, housing and wear
ing apparel, in the past several years.
Young women who have their own way
to make in the world would do well to
consider these facts and even to subS
ject themselves to unpdeasantly siren
uous work in the kitchen of some
ousekeeper who could, not pay large
prices for the sake Of getting the train
ing which would open up positions in
which the remuneration would be as
much when the board and lodging are
counted in, as that of teachers and 9TH
ers who have to spend years and large
amounts of money to prepare for their
work. The woman with aspirations to
become q high priced household servi-
tor, on the other hand, gets fair pap
while she is getting her training,

FIFTH TERM FOR BRENNAN.
City Engineer is Unanimously Elected
to Succeed Himself at Meeting
of the Council.

The City Council showed recognition
Of service on Monday evening when by
q unanimous vote City Engineer B. c..
Brennan was elected for his fifth term.
AS further token of appreciation of
real service rendered the salary of the
engineer was increased by three humid
red dollars. Engineer Brennan had
been so faithful to his duties for the
city that when the matter was brought
up there was no suggestion of an oppos-
ing candidate. Tt was not necessary
to east any formal ballot as the
unanimous feeling of the aldermen
left this duty to the city clerk.
In the five years that Mr. Brennan has
served in Kenosha he has won high
place among the engineers of the
state and he is now regarded as an
expert on all matters relating to
engineering problems of cities.
