the side of the sacrifices they are
making"
A girl recently arrived writes: "Our
draft through some mistake had
rather sorry time on arrival, moth
ing having been prepared for US. We
had to put up at a hotel that had not
been opened for four years and the
first day was spent securing the place
from top to bottom. To hear the
girls talk. one would think it was a
huge joke, and they way in which they
made the best of the situation was
splendid"
A woman sent to a base camp
where a complete staff of men work
ers was displaced writes: "We were
afraid we would be unpopular with
the men on account of turning them
out of their jobs, but nothing of the
kind. They are very glad to see us
and gave US a cheerful welcome. They
had indeed provided every luxury you
can conceive. They had put flowers
in our mess and recreation rooms and
everything was spotlessly clean. We
feel almost swindled, inasmuch as we
were definitely promised hardships
but so far have been able to discover
none"

Headquarters of Women's Auxil-

in France, August 26.-(Correspond-
ence) Women's labor as a part OF
the British army in France has now
passed through it's trial stage and
won the approval of the army author
tiles.
In response to a question, "How do
the young women themselves like ac-

headquarters have permitted the AS

extracts from number of horceward

erything is done for our comfort.
Army blankets and no sheets seemed
q little peculiar at first, but all idea
of sheets has now vanished from our
minds and we are developing an af-
fection for these warm army blankets
as a covering. The restrictions are
not at all formidable; in fact, we are
allowed more liberty than / personal
ly expected, which is saying great
deal. Army rations may be little
rougher than the. food we have been
used to, but the quality and quantity
is good, and hunger is the best of
sauces. The work is interesting"
Here is a girls account of her daily

and parade at 8:15. We march down

PHONoGRAPHs AT THE FRONT
(Associated Pressl

Paris, Sept. THE phonograph is
proving useful adjunct to observa-
tion officers on duty in the air. These
officers, forced to keep their field
glasses continually on the positions
they are observing, have found con-
siderable difficulty in making notes of
details so quickly as they see them.
Observation airplanes are now fitted
with registering phonograph into
which the officers speak through an
acoustic tube. Thus all the points the
airmen have noted are correctly re-
corded for future use.

Peddlers of Trash will be Kept Away

Washington, Sept. 7.-Carboilous

WANT TO WIN OR
DESTROY THE WORLD
Position Taken by the TeutOns has
Converted One Time
Pacifist

Washington, Sept. IA pacifist
who breaches war to a finish-this
war to a finish-is DR.. Vernon Lyman
Kellogg, advisor extraordinary to
Herbert c. Hoover and former direc-
tor of the Belgian relief commission.
Probably no American has had
such excellent opportunities for abb
sorbing the German point of view on
this war. For months DIR. Kellogg
lived at German headquarters in
France-not simply headquarters, but
the great ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS over
by the kaiser's chief of staff and to
which the "All-Highest" himself was
a frequent visitor. Through long eve
nings he "sat in" with the men direct
ing the war on the western front,
threshing out with them, in discus
sions that often ran far into the night,
just why Germany was waging this
war, and what she expected to gain
thereby.
These discussions, he says, laid
bare so startlingly the German obses-
sion that the good of the world re-
quires that Germany not only shall
conquer in this war but shall conquer
completely and terribly, that Kellogg
himself, though despising war and an
avowed pacifst, was converted:
Not to a supporter of war, but to
supporter of this war.
Not to the belief that Germany
must win, as these men with whom he
talked argued, but to the belief that
| If ever the pacifist's vision of world
peace was to come this war must be
/ fought through TO positive end
Germany's conversion to be a good
Germany or not much of any Ger
many at all, as he puts it.
This conviction came only after DR..
Kellogg had tried reasoning, In vain.
| He found there could be no reasoning
with the German official mind on the
war issues. There was only one ans
I+wer they would recognize-force. Vic
tory or defeat. Victory would prove
! their claim that the Germans are a
chosen race, their social and political
organizations the chosen type of hu-
nan community life, and that the rest
| of the world must march along the
path Germany lays down or else be
destroyed as unfit.
Kellogg is quiet, studious man of
| so, slight but well knit and wiry. His
face is deeply lined-perhaps by the
sights he saw daily in Northern
France and Belgium. For it was his
duty TO visit all the districts. in which

seat and Kellogg and his officer
/ companion in the rear.
The chauffeur, Kellogg says, drove
frightfulIy fast, and he always had a
4 feeling that he should meet his finish
not by a stray bomb or shell, but in
messy automobile smashup.
+ The only close call, however, was
when their car came near being run
down by the crown prince one day.

and rendered the best of dance music
until after 10 o'clock. Some couples
danced in the big dining room, which
was cleared for the occasion, but most
of them preferred the open street be-
tween the hotel and the bandstand.
The dancing was watched by hun
dreds-there has seldom been such a
crowd on the square at night before.
Hundreds of the town people were
out, and hundreds came in from the
country.
Many repaired to the Ocala House
dining room where they danced until
1920 to the university band, after
which victrola music was used so the
band members could dance.
Among those dancing were Misses

The visitors returned home on the

Associated Press)

Although the Austrians still have
a precarious hold on Monte San Ga
brielle, their last remaining mountain
stronghold northeast of Gorilla, the
end is in sight for them in this dis
tirct, according to Italian belief. Cen
eral Cadorna reports the Austrians
staggering under incessant pressure
on the height and the engagement is
reaching distinct stage. The conf
dent tone of todav's report is consid-
cred significant. as Gen. Cadorna was
conservative in his estimates hereto
fcre and withheld announcement until
sure of his ground.
The Russian retreat from Riga is
not yet a menace to Petrograd is the
belief of military authorities. The
government, however, is taking pre-
cautions against disorders. The re-
treat is apparently awakening the
radical element, who are calling for
a strengthening of Russia's resisting
power.
