The war news is still encour.
aging for the Allies. The Rus.
slams have stopped running and
reorganization of the army is
said to be in progress. Germany
is failing in another attack upon
Verdun, and also continues to
talk Of peace. Argentina has
ordered her army and navy to
mobilize at once, which may
foreshadow actual participation
in the warat an early date on the
side of the Allies. The United
States is almost daily exposing
German intrigue in this country,
and thus showing up the sneak
ing meanness of the Germans,
and all the while going right
along with The preparations to
whip them. It appears that ev-
cry day that passes makes vic
tory more certain for the Allies.

WHERE RATS ARE PROTECTED
In Copper Mines Of Michigan Rodents
Are Regarded as Preventors, Not
Carriers, Of Disease.

There are few places In the world
where rats are well thought of, but In
the copper mines of Michigan there ro-
dents, so universally despised, and
causing so much danger to health and
damage to property everywhere else,
are regarded differently. In the shafts
Of the copper mines hundreds of feet
below the surface dwells species of
rat that never sees the light of day
and is held in high appreciation by
the miners. 1t is because these under
ground rodents are valuable to SANTA
ton, preventers rather than carriers
Of disease. They indulge in no depre-
dations for the reason they exist with
in rockbound walls inclosing nothing
possible for animals such as they de-
stroy.
The rats are the scavengers of the
mines. They keep the workings clear
Of refuse. They are protected by the
men; are often fed from dinner pals
and have become so accustomed to
the miners that they frisk about the
workers wholly unafraid, secure In the
apparent realization that, while else
where they are hunted and slain as
enemies Of mankind, underground they
are treated as allies and are immune
from harm.

At The Republic Tonight.

WINS. Hart, in "Wolf Lowry, I" is
the excellent picture to be shown at
theiRepublic Theatre tonight.
The owner of the big ranch in the
valley of the distant hill resents the
occupation of nearby cabin by some
newcomer. He is prepared to kill the
settler who has dared to remain after
his order to get out. when to his sur
prise Lowry finds that the new neigh
Dor is a young woman. The land
agent viciously takes advantage of
Mary's position and attempts to force
his attentions upon her. In driving
this man out Lowry is severely wound
ed and at the recovery from the illness
through which Mary has nursed him,
"Wolf" is more deserving of the
name lamb. for he is deeply in love.
On the eve of the wedding he has so
deliberately prepared for. Mary's
fiancee comes to the ranch and when
Lowry learns that Thorpe still holds
the affections of the girl. he steps
aside, though not without a struggle
against the fate that has thus cheated
him out of the one woman he ever
card for. Lowry then goes off to work
his mine. in Alaska, where he lives
happily cherishing the memories of
Mary Davis.
Also comedy.

The hunters moon is waning, but
there has been very little service for
1t during the month, except for lovers,
says the Columbus (O.) State Journal.
The game question is pretty near
solved. 1t is so different from the old
days, when a man could take his shot
gun and go out to the woods and bring
in a bag of squirrels and birds in few
hours-enough for the family and a
neighbor or two. Then he asked no
favors of the moon. The game was
plenty and the days were long In the
good old time. In those days we had
pigeon pie and squirrel pie and we
didn't want the moon to put itself out
Of the way on our account. In these
days the hunters moon Is a beautiful
sentiment, but it makes no pie. How
shy she was last week, when coQuet-
ing with Jupiter for an evening or two,
and then slipped of to the east and re-
fused to return.

Wives as Wage Farmers.

More than one-tenth Of the married
women Of the United States were en-
gagged In gainful occupations in 1910.
according to figures recently given out
by the bureau of the census, and over
% per cent of all women sixteen
years old or over were wage earners,
business women, etc. Since 1910 the
per centages undoubtedly have in
creased rather than diminished, for
the tendency of women in this coun-
try has been toward greater economic
freedom for many years. In 1900 the
number Of married women In gainful
occupations was only 100000, while In
1910 it was 100000, says Popular Me-
chanics. The statistics referred to
show that the proportion Of women
married, single and widOwed-whO are
earning their living is greater than
ever before, but 1t is particularly in
teresting to find that of all the groups
cited, the proportionate increase In
the number Of married women is the
greatest.

AT The Republic Tomorrow.

"The Slave" q stirring drama of
the problesm and perils facing a work.
ing girl in the present day life, with
Valeska Suratt in the stellar role, is
the William Fox feature which will be
the main attraction at the Republic
Theater tomorrow.
The title role ir peculiarly adopted
to Miss Suratt's powers as an actress.
Her supporting cast, which includes
Violet Palmer, who starred in 1.-THE
Blue Streak" with William Nigh, Eric
Mayne, Dan Mason and Herbert Heyes
leaves nothing to be desired. The
drama was written and directed by
William Nigh, famous for 1.-THE Blue

the shop.
Old Moneybags, twice Caroline's
age, proposes to her. Urged on by her
mother and visions of many years of

spite a warning dream. The dream

METHODS USED BY DIPS VARY
Pickpockets of the Higher Grade Work
in Groups in Places Freuuented
by Prosperous People.

As a usual thing. pickpockets vary
their methods TO suit circumstances.
Only the low-grade dips work in pairs.
These are the men who operate on
street cars. elevated stations. plat
forms, and similar places where they
will find crowds of pushed people and
have opportunity to escape if detected.
One of the pair shoulders victim
roughly while the other does the work
and makes a getaway, says the Bo-
hemian. Arrests are frequent, but con-
victions rare, because the man cap
tured seldom has the loot.
The higher grade dips also work in
such places. The difference is that
they work in groups and choose times
when prosperous passengers will be in
the majority. During the fashionable
shopping hours and after the theater
at night are considered harvest times.
Last winter three dips worked clever
method in Chicago. Garbing them
selves In evening clothes. they mingled
in fashionable crowds in big cafes,
theater exits, and railway stations.
One of the party was always hopeless
ly drunk and the others, apparently
acting the part of Samaritans, were
hard-put trying to keep him on his
feet. With all their care, however, he
would stumble occasionally and fall
into groups Of ladies and gentlemen.
Invariably the sober companions had
apologized and taken the charge away
before anyone discovered the loss of
valuables.

Beautiful Paramount Picture
AT Colonial Tomorrow.

Charming Mae Murray in delight
fully fascinating Paramount Picture,
"At First Sight" will be the delight
full attraction at the Colonial Theatre
for tomorrow evening. "At First
Sight" is story of an American girl
who objects to the man her parents
have picked out for her. She wins
the heart of story writer who was
too busy he didn't have any time for
love. The theme of this story is un-
usual and humorous in the extreme.
George Middleton, famous playwright
and author of 1.-THE House of Thous
and Candles, Hit the Trail Holiday"
and other big hits, wrote this story.
The outdoor scenes, many of the sets,
and especially Miss Murray's own
gowns are more than usually attrac-
tive in this production. Although
Miss Murray scored q tremendous sue
cess in 1.-The Plow Girl" and The
Primrose Ring" her success in AT
First Sight" is even greater. She Is
delightfully."- pleasing throughout the
entire picture. Victor Moore in ex-
tremely funny comedy will also be
shown.

Price Of Glass Jars Advanced.

Telegraphic rep orts to the Bureau
of Markets, United States Department
of Agriculture, today indicate that re-
tail dealers in many localities are adj
vancing prices in glass jars for can
ming and preserving. This advance
apparently dates from the beginning
of the emergency campaign for the
preservation of perishable fruits and
vegetables.
Representative of the glass jar
manufacturers stated, in a conference
held at the Department in July IL,
that there is no shortage in glass jars.
One declared:
I'VE have not received enough or
ders to take care of our daily capacity,
and have even offered to sell jobbers
jars on consignment, to be paid fer az
sold.
1--WE have sold to the jobbers their
usual supply, what they usually pur-
chase in year. They have sold to the
merchants the usual supply and they
are not ordering any more until they
begin to sell and reduce the stock on
hand. By the middle of August We
should begin to ship very freely for the
fall trade"

THIS AUGUST OF 1917
AND ONE OTHER OF 1864
Months Of Striving With Peoples War
Part The Month Has Played
In History of Country.

August, 1864, was the crucial month
in the history of the Civil War. II
was more than year after the VIC
tory of Gettysburg and yet among
many thousands of people in the north
there was doubt of final victroy Upon
the strength of that doubt, McClel-
Ian was nominated for President upon
a platform calling for peace by me-
gotistion with the South.
But this August, 1864, brought Far
ragut's victory at Mobile. 1t brought
the repulse Of Early. Sherman was
investing Atlanta and the fall Of the
city was expected hourly. August
was fruitful month for the North.
1t killed McClellan's pacifist campaign
virtually before IL started.
Not since 1864 has America entered
an August which will mean so much
for it as this one. What the month
will produce in food will decide what
we can do for the Allies. What ore
can be brought down from the lakes,
what furnaces can make Of the ore,
what finished iron the mills can turn
out, what munitions can be sent to
tidewater will decide what the war
will be in the fall and winter. August
is the month of preparation for the
training of the citizen army. It is
the month when Washington is count
ed upon to straighten out those snarls
in which it is entangled, to put itself
upon the basis of efficiency toward
which it has been striving. August
will be a month of worldwide strug-
CLING against the common enemy of
middle Europe, against the forces Of
nature, against time. Each day will
be worth the watching and rernem-
bering. For history of the highest
significance will be made then. -Fom

BAN ON VICES
Cantonments Will Be Conducted on

That every effort will be made to

chief Of the staff of the United States
Army. Not only is ban put on the
selling of liquors within FIVE miles of
the environments, forts, posts or mobil-
ization places, but they must also be
kept clear of localities OF ill-fame.
BY order Of President Wilson. act
ing under the recent statute passed by
Congress, no one is allowed TO sell or
furnish wine, beer or other liquors
whiting FIVE miles of environments,
forts or mobilization places. The only
exception to this order is where the
