CHILDREN HONOR
 BIRD DAY MAY Q

New York, April 4.-The kiddies and the birds are going to have a big day May 5. That is the day many governors have set aside as Bird Day in the schools. Just 137 years ago that day was born John
 James Audubon, whose name now means bird protection.
 There are 55O,OOO American boys and girls, helplers of the Audubon societies in protecting the birds,
 who will take part in the celebra- tion. They are full fledged mem
 bers and are known as juniors. Each
 child paying a dime gets a mem
 bership badge and beautifully col ored pictures of birds so they can recognize their feathered friends Thousands of new youngsters are expected 10 join the societies be- tween now and May 5. Teachers arc

 As the correspondent watched the countryside over which the attack ing troops were proceeding not a vestige could be seen of the ad- vancing men on foot. They trickled through under cover of the rush. wood until they had assembled in sufficient strength and near enough for striking blow.
 Meanwhile German airmen circled overhead, unable to find them Then an inferno of artillery fire broke forth from the French guns after which a final spurt by the infantry carried the position, which on this occasion was a big farm house near Margival. This was held in the face of desperate counter attacks.

The correspondent had come up from Soissons through a territory laid waste, as had been the coun- tryside everywhere else where the Germans had been forced to evac- uate. Soissons itself is still bom- barded almost daily, and the final effort before the Germans left the adjacent trenches on March Is was an endeavor to set fire to the town and the chzbattered cathedral.
 The latter was showered with in cendiary shells, but these died out without affecting the heavy stone roof. The rest of the cathedral had been much damaged during the pre- vious bombardment, and a German Iofficer's diary found in an aban- dnoed battery position shows that he attempt to destroy it was meth, IOdical.

ADDRESSED GIRLS
 SHOCK. OLD WOMAN

New York, March 30.-Undressed women in half portion gowns shock the venerable authoress, Amelia E. Barr, she admitted on this, her 87th birthday. Mrs. Barr, who has her home at Richmond Hill, Brooklyn, lis the author of more than 75 nov els which for more than half cen tury have been persued by the nov el readers of this and other cOun- tries.
 Mrs. Barr believes Dame Fashion shows poorer taste and less of it to- day than at any time in the last '75 years. Women of today, Mrs, Barr declared, do not dress, they un- dress. And their clothes are ugly, too, she says. In addition to that she thinks girls today go in too much for athletics and use too much slang. Slang in the mouth of wO- man, she said. is sure sign she is on the downward path. Golf and tennis are for men only, she be- lieves.
 Mrs. Barr is as alert and active as at 40.

AN APPEAL FOR
 THE MOTHERS

| I wish to have a heart-to-he cart | talk with the women of, Paragould,
 many of whom l have never had the pleasure of meeting, yet l feel that | all womankind are my sisters and 1 that I may appeal to them as such. | All down the ages of the past, wo-
 men have kept their problems to
 themselves how to conserve their | to bring up the children, how to minister to the spiritual and bodi- | ly reeds of the husband-all of these each woman has tried ito work out for herself: but, now that the departments of our gov
 ernment even are studying and planning to conserve the many diff ferent and vital interests of the na- tion, women may surely consider together this the first and most important problem of all, namely:
 the problem of right living for them individually and collectively. Let us reason together about this prob lem.
 First and most important of all let us consider womans health
 how to conserve it. When I visit the stores and look at the drawn pallid faces of our dear women and | girl clerks, my heart sinks with sympathy and I have thought "Why cannot women be allowed during leisure hours to stand out
 on, or walk up and down the pave
 ment to enjoy Gods glorious | health-g giving sunshine without
 arousing adverse criticism? I have advised our women clerks tc
 strike for this privilege or ganize sunshine clubs" and de
 mand few minutes off each day when the sun is warm and life
 giving in it's potential rays, to bask
 in the sunlight. Does this sound
 Utopian, My. Employer? Women
 clerks would return in the way
 of better service, added cheerful
 ness, loyalty and enthusiasm
 through this short respite from du- i ty. .4'a But worse than the pallid faces oi
 the clerks, the shut-up house, the
 lowered shades of the home, the nent uD housewife fills my heart
 with pity and concern. The poor patient women think that they arc doing Gods service to drudge sacri-
 flee and economise for their loved
 ones by working long hours in dark
 shut-up houses On Sundays espe-
 cially 1 look longingly into pass
 ing autos for the ewomen but alas! usually see only men and boys

enjoying the ride. Where are the mothers? They are at home lmmO- lating themselves on the altar or mistaken duty to their households. They sacrifice their youth and beau ty for sons who when they should be manly grown, think it savers of the sissy boy to drive car to take mother for little recrea- tion in the fresh air and sun shine. They toll for girls who when grown are unwilling to help serve in the home.
 Boys and girls are not to blame for such negligence of mothers comfort The mothers should not work, and sacrifice youth, good looks, and charming qualities by continuous service, but each day should find them, despite obstacles of any kind, out in the open to shake the 'cobwebs' from the brain. Please try it, mother.

FRENCH FOND OF
 OPEN FIGHTING
Witness Relates Marvellous Precis- ion With Which Gen. Nivelle's
 Men Drive Forward.

Paris, March 2S,-French troops had a chance today to show their dash and skill in semi-open fight ing and took ample advantage of it. At the southern pivot of the so-called Hindenburg line, which is supposed to be about at Vailly, they came to grips on several occasions with the Germans. The Teutons at tempted to make stand on the edge of the Crouy plateau, which IS a strong offshoot of the still larger Laon plateau.
 The French had kept close on the heels of the retiring Germans since they quit Soissons, never giving them a moments respite, until the pursuers occupied the sort of tri-

We are now about to accept the

We are glad, now that we see the

New York, July S.-(Special.)-.
That Italy saved the allies from
overwhelming defeat at the very out
set of the war, is the contention of
Guglielmo Marconi, wireless inven-
tor and member of the Italian mis-
sion now in the United States. In
an address here he said:
Germany did not expect us to
join her in her savage attack of the
liberties of Europe; she did not even
care much whether we eventually
agreed to remain neutral. Her game
was much deeper and more treach-
erous one. She wanted us to. leave
France, our great Latin sister, in
doubt as to our intentions.
Assurances Sent France.
ION the morning of July 80, 1914,
one day before Germany declared
war on Russia and two days before
she declared war on France, the
Marquis de San Giuliano, who was
then our foreign minister unofficial
ly informed the French ambassador
in Rome that Italy never would side
with the central powers in a war of
aggression. This information was
Immediately wired to Paris, but it
was not sufficient to make France
feel absolutely certain that Italy's
attitude was favorable to her, be-
cause there was as yet no official
declaration of neutrality on our part.
'0n August 2, three DAYS before
England declared war against Ger
many, at council of ministers held
in Rome, Italy decided formally to
declare her neutrality. The news
was Immediately communicated to
our charge d'affaires in Paris, the
ambassador being absent. For some
reason or other the telegram did not
reach him until / o'clock in the
morning. Without a moments hest
tation he went to see M. Viviani, the
French prime minister, in the middle
of the night.
when he was introduced into Mr..
Viviani's presence, the latter turned
pale and drew back, for he was al
most convinced that nothing but
Italy's decision to join Germany
would have brought the Italian
charge there at that hour. The re-
vulsion of feeling when Mr.. Viviani
read the telegram was such that he
could not hide his emotion. Within
half an hour orders had gone forth
for the mobilization for service in
the north of nearly 100000 men
which France would have had to keep
on her southern and eastern frontier
to guard against possible attack
from Italy.
Act Helped Win Marine.
"That 100000 men helped to stem
the advancing tide Of Germans, to
win the battle of the Marine, and to
save France from being crushed by
the heel OF German militarism.
Had there been tlts slightest
wavering, the smallest hesitation on
the part OF Italy; had any Italian
politician been found to do one tenth
part of what Bismarck did when he
altered the wording of the famous
Ems telegram and thus brought
about the Franco Prussian war
France would not have dared to
withdraw a single man from the
Italian frontier, and the history Of
the world might have been written
differently.
Gentlemen, is there any man who
can think. in view of what I have
just told you, that Italy's conduct
was not a decisive factor in the

Former Dancing Girl Is Now
Sensation of the SdDdust Arena

Perseverance always wins, is the
adage old and true. proved in the
life of Miss Florence Bender, dainty
equestrienne with the Barnum &
Bailey circus which will be seen here
July IL.
Born in a beautiful little hillside
bungalow in faraway Switzerland in
the month of July, exactly twenty six
summers ago, she has risen from a
humble dancing. girl and object
holder In little European one-ring
circus to the enviable position of
premier lady bareback rider of the
world.
Since earliest infancy Miss Bender
has been a member of the circus
world, her family for generations
back all having been performers of
one kind or another, and her father
and five brothers being members of
famous .acrobatic act which is still a
feature in the music halls and cir
cuses of Europe. With the exception
of five brief years Of schooling, Miss
Bender has spent her entire life amid
circus surroundings, having entered
the employ of q continental show al
the age of ii. For five years she ap-
peared merely as a dancing girl in
the various ballet features and as an

capacity, while holding paper cover
ed hoops and other necessary para
phernalia used by the various riders
of the show during their acts, the lit
tie Swiss girl formed her ambition
to become a great equestrienne.
Accordingly, she began to practice
during the hours when the show was
not exhibiting. Receiving encourage
ment from the management she de-
veloped her talent rapidly and when
she was 10 years old she made her
first appearance as a principal bare
back rider at the Circus Schumann,
in Frankfort, Germany. After a fin
fishing course of a year in the small
European circuses, an agent of the
Barnum e. Bailey show discovered
her in Paris and offered her a trial
engagement in America. Her success
in this country was almost instan-
taneous and she is now the feature
rider Of the Barnum G. Bailey circus.
