Efforts Being Made to Bring John

Strong efforts are being made by
officers OF the Naval Recruiting Sta

of the Great Lakes training station.
near Chicago, to come to this city
on the night OF the 18th instant, and
give a concert. The band has a
membership of $50. and is under tho
leadership of John Philip Sousa, the
renowned bandmaster.
According to Lieut.. L. E. Morgan.
of the navy recruiting station at 3os
Ninth street northwest. the Great
Lakes band has just completed a
series Of concerts In New York City
under the auspices of the Red Cross,
wherein fully $4,000 was realized for
its fund. The band is scheduled to
appear in Baltimore on the 18th, and
the following day is the only date
available for its services here in this
connection. as there is such de-
mand for these concerts from other
cities that it is impossible to make
different arrangements concerning its
appearance in this city.
Lieut.. Morgan suggests that some
charitable institution take the mat
ter up with a view of bringing the
band here on the date named. and
that whatever proceeds are derived
from the concert. after payment OF
transportation and other expenses.
should go to the navy relief fund.
He thinks the band would prove a
great darwing card here. and that
active measures should be taken at
once by local charitable bodies to
induce it to visit Washington.

HOROSCOPE.
Wednesday, October 10, 1917

An uncertain day, astrologers an
nounce- While the Sun rules strong
ly for good. Saturn, Mercury, Mars
and Uranus are adverse.
This rule should be beneficial for
all who seek favor whether 1t be
political or financial.
Appointments made while this
configuration prevails should be
very lucky.
They who serve the government,
however, are warned that their
stars indicate danger OF inefficiency
through lack of energy and even
through treachery. The seers fore
tell scandal through Spies and dis
loyalty. which will lead to many
changes among employees.
Mars seems to give warning of
lack or need among our soldiers
owing to some unfortunate circum-
stances.
Astrologers declare that with the
dawning OF the new era of the
worlds history in 1919, the currents
of thought win be so changed that
no one born before 1880 will be able
to adjust the mind to the future or
der Of things.
As II to verify the foregoing
prophecy, Saturn indicates a great
mortality among the aged.
On this day 1t Is well not to sign
contracts, leases. or notes of any
sort
There is a forecast of sensation
due to the publication Of a secret
or criticism OF a public man. An
editor may be imprisoned.
The burning or destruction of a
famous public building is foreseen.
While prophecies concerning the
war are contradictory there IL
strong Indication. according to the
reading of the stars. that when
peace comes 1t will be unexpected.
December. however, will be a most
discouraging and depressing month,
the eclipse on the 27th being rather
sinister in its effect.
A woman who breaches patriotism
and lives up to her ideals will gain
fame and honors.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is
probably will have a very check
cred year. They should avoid
change and travel.
Children born on this day will
be rash. headstrong and restless,
in all probability. Girls may not
marry fortunately. BotD boys and
girls are likely to be talented.

bines were sent crashing through en-
emy skulls.
She earned her rank as sergeant
major at Potmalgosce in a successful
raiding expedition. There were twelve
other girls with her, all mounted.
They were TO spy out the camp Of a
Russian detachment. They not only
did this, but she alone crept into the
tent Of a Russian officer, who was
asleep, seized his papers, maps and
everything of military value. and es-
capped undiscovered. That same night
this camp was surprised by a battal-
ion of her legion and wiped out. And
that night the wolf packs howled in
from the hills. AS the Austrian Red
Cross moved over the field to res
cue the living, the doctors fought
these animals with revolvers for the
life of every wounded foeman they
saved,
Her two brothers were serving in
the same legion, and the one she
loved most was most successful in
gaining information. He had per-
formed heroic deeds and attained the
rank Of lieutenant.
But We will hear her, as she pro-
saically narrated when convalescent:
My brother Thaddeus: I loved him.
He was q. On one of his excursions
he was caught unawares by the Rus

Stanislava's patrol was continuously
in advance Of the army Of Gen.
Danki. She had been slightly wound
ed before Lublin, and had viewed
from hill in a driving snow storm
the fortress Of Ivangorod. one Of the
triangle of forts that formed the Rus
sian bulwark protecting Poland.
Then she suffered as an efficient
unit Of the rear guard when the Rus
slams pushed back the Austrian army
to Cracow. For a week or more she
was on the verge Of nervous col
lapse. But when the advance was
begun again 1t acted on her as a
tonic, and her carbine spat spiritedly
again in patrol engagements with the
hostile guards.
1t was on the snow-clasped, bloody
fields of the advance that she won
her medal-and her wounds. Her in
juries were not fatal, but she can
ride no more with her foam-fiecked
pony on her jaunts with death.
