Throughout Russia

PETROGRAD. Aug. 2.-As the result
of the heroic conduct at the front OF
Miss Vera Butchkareff's female batta-
lion the movement for the creation Of
a great woman's army Is progressing
throughout Russia like wildfire.
Already Petrograd, Moscow and
Kiev have formed regular recruiting
bureaus and established barracks I'M
der the ordinary system OF army ad-
ministrauon, subject under a newly
issued order by Minister of War Ker-
ensky to the STATS Of the local mill
tary district.
The government has issued arms
and complete equipment to the wo-
man and has appointed male COM
manders and instructors, and in view
of the spread of the movement, 1t is
planning a more suitable uniform for
the women fighters.
In Petrograd a new battalion Is be-
ing raised by the Chairwoman of the
New Women's Military league, uni
versity student, Miss Fromenko. The
specious engineers palace has been
turned into a barracks in which 700
girls and women are already in uni

For the remaining places In the bat
talon there are 1900 applicants.
In the entrance hall today there
was gathered group of new recruits
whose ordinary feminine attire, long
hair and soft features contrasted
sharply with the cropped heads and
masculine bearing of the girls already

The amount of State revenue filed
with charters during the first six
months of 1917, ending June 80, was
approximately 5000, 900 falling but a
few thousand dollars short of the en-
tire revenue received in 1916 from
this source. The previous record for
the largest amount of revenue re-
ceived in any one mouth was $22, 900
but this record was smashed in March
of this year when $26. 600 was re-
ceived. which record was again broken
in April with $35, 600, and that re-
cord was shattered in May with SAL. =

stands, is as large as the total rev.
enue received in six months in past

"SiIver Bullets"

Mr.. Lloyd-George, whom learned
Germans accuse of plagiarizing the ex-
preston Silver bullets" from a seven
teenth century codex in the Royal H.
brary at Stuttgart. probably took it
from some Welsh legend about
witches. 1t was an old belief that
witches sometimes assumed the forms
of hares. 1t was another old belief
that hares which were not hares, but
witches in disguise, were never hurt
by ordinary bullets. and could be killed
only with silver bullets.

Opposed by Farmers;
viii Confer Thursday.

Refusing to pay the assessment Of
the FL Paso Water Users association

created a situation which needs a
thorough clearing up. it was said
Monday. There seems to be an under
standing between the land owners Of
this district not to pay the 81 PEI

curing definite plans for the irIlga-
ton and drainage Of the Island, II was
asserted

association, in a letter TO the land
owners said that plans had not gone
so far but that the work which mad

the Island preferred TO do the lrrl-
cation and drainage themselves In
this case the assessments already
paid by landowners there would be
refunded

the position OF both parties TO the

Mr.. Smith has written that the

JEWS READY To
MAKE SACRIFICE
Believing Their Heritage Is
Peace, Want It Lasting
After War.
= n. u. RIERHORsT.

The heritage Of Israel is peace"
With this as his theme, rabbi Mar
tin Zielonka. pastor Of temple Mt.
Sinai led his congregation Sunday
evening in a fervent service, cele-
brating the opening Of the annual
Jewish New Year holiday. The Jews
Of the world are not unacquainted
with fights for peace and those in
America now are ready TO make the
supreme sacrifice to attain that end
at this time. But while international
peace is sought, let not the battle end
until a lasting peace has been at
tanned
And though the soldiers 90 forth
to fight the battle Of peace with for
eigu armies. peace can and does reign
in the Jewish homes. A prayer TO the
Almighty TO perpetuate this peace at
home. which has ever been character
istic Of the Jew, and to bring a last
ing international peace concluded the
sermon.
Appropriate music was rendered by
the choir; C. J. Andrews, tenor and
director; Mrs. r. J. Wilson and Mrs.
j. Emus. sopranos, Mrs. A G. era
ham, contralto; J. F. Cheek. basso,
and z. c. knickmeyer, organist.

about 100 enlisted men and several
officers and their families from Fort

EOsh aashOna was observed by
temples B'naf Zion and Achim Nea-
monim, rabbis Nathan Schecter and
p 7. Levine, respectively Sunday
evening. but similar services will be
conducted at these temples Monday
evening. the orthodox custom being to
observe two days for every religious
holiday. This custom is followed be-
cause Of the fact that a day is thought
TO have been lost in making the cal
endar some years back, and double
holidays were instituted in order 10
insure observance Of the exact days.
Time for AtOnement.
The religious new year Of the Jews
is not the calendar new year. which
is che first day Of Nissan, or the open
ing Of the annual Pasach Passover
holidays The calendar new year is
never observed as such, but merely as
the first day OF Pesach- The holidays
opening with Rosh Hashona are called
new year" because during the time
man is supposed to think over his
past sins repent and make atOnement.
and start afresh on a new and purer
life.

ing their stores closed today. The
