First Omnibus.

The first horse omnibus was seen in
the neighborhood Of Nantes in 1926
and ran to facilitate access to bath
ing establishment which M. Baudry
had set up in the outskirts of that
town.
"The name of these vehicles" M.
Baudry said, "shall be omnibus-that
is to say, open to ALL" The venture
was so successful that a limited COM
pany was formed to inaugurate SINH
lar enterprise in Paris. The Partisan
experiment was at first a failure, but

ARE FACING AUSTRo-GERMANS
AND OFFERING RESISTANCE
AS BEST THEY CAN WITH
BADLY DEPLETED FORCES.
STANDS so FAR HAVE
BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL
Compelled by Overwhelming Numbers
to cede Ground-Spirit of Loyalty Is
Shown and Further Terrain Will
Not Be Surrendered Without
Bitter Contest.

London, Aug. Apparently the
turn in the tide of retreat by the Rus.
slams in East Galicia is beginning. On
several sectors the loyal troops are
now facing the Austro-G Germans and
Offering resistance as best they can
with their badly depleted forces.
Although their stands have as yet
been unsuccessful they show that the
spirit of loyalty is still alive in many
OF the men and that it is not their
purpose to surrender further terrain
without a contest.
Teutons Cross Zbrocz.
One of the main attempts of the
Russians to hold back the enemy has
been on the heights east of the River
Zborcz, which follows along the bor-
der between Galicia and Russia, but
they have been compelled by over
whelming numbers to cede ground to
the Austro-Germans, who crossed the
stream. The TeutoRs also have cross
ed the Galician frontier and now are
invading Bukowina by way of the
Suchawa Valley.
German Spies Executed.
Notwithstanding the activity Of Ger.
man spies, who are trying to create
disaffection in the Russian army, the
Roumanians and Russian, fighting
near the northwestern border of Rou-
mania continue to press forward in
the Casin and Putna Valleys, having
captured six additional villages and
added materially to the prisoners and
guns captured. Fifty of the German
spies disguised as Russian soldiers are
reported to have been caught and
shot.
British Air Raid Successful.
A blow struck by the Canadians
around Lens and terrific artillery fire
directed by the Germans against the
French lines on the Aisne and Verdun
fronts comprised the main activity on
the western front in the last "a hours.
There was also an extensive British
air raid on German bases, submarine
and transports, in Belgium. A large
fiotilla of British airplanes visited
Bruges, Middlekerk, Chistelles and
several other points with most sue
cessful results.

Talks For "Peace BY

London, July 31.-Germany's Junk.
ers are working hard with the Ger
man people to justify militarism. An
public into belief that Germany is be-
set by rapacious foes who started the
war to dismember Germany is what
London sees behind the peace inter
view" granted by Chancellor Michaelis
of Germany and Foreign Minister
Czernin of Austria. The reported pres
ence in Switzerland of Matthias Err
berger, the political leader recently
head Of the reichstag coalition, pre-
supably as peace negotiator, was re-
garded as proof that the militarists
deliberately staged the recent Crisis
in the parliament and that Erzberger
was merely tool of those interests.
Interview Made Assault on England.
Michaelis' peace interview was
rather an assault on England and
France. He charged the Allies with
secret agreements aiming at "enslave-
ment of Germany" He was particu-
larly bitter in responding to Sir Ed
ward CarSon's suggestion that the first
step toward peace would be for Ger
many to announce her willingness to
surrender occupied territory.
Count Czernin's statement was along
the usual Germanic lines, asserting
complete agreement between Germany
and Austria-Hungary and reiterating
the old plea that Germany's enemies
were responsible for continuation of
the war.
"Peace BY Understanding"
OF curious collateral interest in the
peace talk was an interview attribut-
ed to Dr. Erzberger at Zurich, in which
he declared if he could talk with Pre-
mier Lloyd George or Foreign Minis

OPPORTUNITIES ON
DRAMATIC STAGE

There Is more opportunity for in
telligent, leyelheaded young women
on the dramatic stage today than ever
before, in spite of the influence Of the
motion picture and other forces that
have made inroads into It's province
So says Mona Kingsley who plays
the young heiress in "A Tailor.made
Man" Though a young woman, Miss
Kingsley has had ample experience in
both the speaking stage ranks and
those Of the motion picture.
Time was, and not so long ago,
when every young woman who was
at all hstrionically inclined bent every
effort to get on the stage. But now
with the motion picture bringing
forth new stars practically overnight,
stars hitherto unheard of in any sort
OF public life, the young women with
overlapping ambitions see in themsel-
YES counterparts OF many of the
screen fayorites upon whose illuminat-
ed work they feast with supreme long.
ing. They little know what is behind
the fame so suddenly thrust upon
these lights of the screen. They think
that the motion picture star is chosen
not for her ability to exhibit emotions,
but just because she possesses a beau
tiful face and form, or that she photo
graphs well
But there are many, many other
reasons. And 1t would fill quite a few
books If they were all detailed. But il
these aspiring young women had seen
the haunting crowds around the studio
doors as have seen them, and how
