BRITISH ADVANCING
IN MESOPOTAM|A

London, October 7.-fCorrespon-
dence OF the Associated Pressl-
The occupation OF Ramadie has car
ried the British Mesopotamia army
some 80 miles upstream from Its
previous outpost at Eeluja. This is
the distance measured as the crow
flies. but II is nearly double that
distance by the winding Euphrates.
The British conveys. though moving
by day. pass each other In the dark
ness OF London fog, and the white
dust which covers the faces OF the
Arabian porters gives them the ashen
complexion Of circus clowns.
On the right bank OF the Euphra-
ties the flat alluvial soil OF the delta
Is left behind and one comes to the
first low dunes and pebbly ridges,
while the roads are better and easier.
IL was on ground OF this nature that
the battle OF Ramadie was fought.
The British troops showed them
selves In excellent condition. after
their long march, being put through
a two days manoeuvre battle after
night march. The heat. however.
was no longer oppressive. The nights
are now fresh and cold and the
health OF the force is excellent.
When the British forces entered
Ramadie. they found many signs of
the confusion and surprise OF the
Turkish forces. The British eye-wit-
ness. writing from Ramadie. says:
"A deep gully west Of the town
was strewn with miscellaneous lit
ter for half mile. including pack
saddles, furniture. books. suit-cases.
and Office parapheralia. Forty horses
and baggage animals have been col
lected and some 80 camels.

WOMEN IN SILKS FAVOR TEN-HOUR DAY
POORER CLASSES HAD NO SAY

fore the legislative Subcommittee in
the LaSalle hotel yesterday afternoon
and protested against the passage of
the A. ]. Carter bill which limits a
wOman's work day to eight hours.
They were a strange lot, these
women who insisted they would
rather work ten hours a day than
eight, who insisted that a woman's
health would not be benefited by the
shorter day and that she would be
much less happy.
There was Mrs. Minnie DanaheT,
floor clerk for the LaSalle hotel; Miss
O'Reilly, assistant housekeeper of
the Congress hotel; Miss Mckay,
housekeepeT of the LaSalle hotel
ever since it was started, and a
varied collection o other women
bosses and foreladies. They came
dressed in silks; some Of them adj
mitted that their salary was 5000 a
month and insisted loudly that they
were working girls, "laboring wOm-
en-" they mostly called themselves.
When Reps. Gallagher and futile
man Pace against the kind of wit
nesses who were being run in as
working girls, then Bernice Krupper,
LaSalIe hotel pantry girl; Miss Long,
Rockford factory worker; Miss
Brown, $12-a-week braider of the
Belden Mfg. Co., and Misses Martin,
Jennings and Nichols, Great North
ern hotel restaurant mattresses, were
sent in to testify that they had fine,
easy jobs, good pay-$6 week,and
up-better treatment than they could
get anywhere else on earth and that
they would prefer working more
than eight hours a day. All of the
witnesses were picked for their
husky health to make a good i'm
preston on the committee, perhaps.

witnesses and shook his head
