A GENERAL SURVEY or
The WAR.

Thursday, Jan. 4.-Dobrudia has
been cleared of Russian and Rouman-
ian defenders with the exception Of
narrow strip of land leading toward
Galatz. About 1000 prisoners and ten
machine guns were captured in the
taking of Matchin and Jipila.

ing Galatz after the capture of Braila.
Turkish forces repulsed 10000
British troops who attack Tigris posi-
tons in the Kut region.
Sunday, Jan. 7.-Although the leu
tonic allies have made further adj
vances in Roumania, both eastward
from the mountain region and north
ward from Wallachia into Moldavia,
the Russians and Roumanians at vari-
our points gave battle and at several
places have met with success.
Between Fokshani and Fundeni the
Russians made strong attack over a
front of about fifteen miles. They
gained ground near Obilechti, says
the German war Office, but elsewhere
were repulsed with heavy casualties.
The Petrograd official communication,
however, says the Russians re-estab-
lished their former position near
Kapatuno, northwest of Fokshani,
made an advance in the vicinity of
RaspitZa lake, and in surprise at
tack captured trenches to the north
woct of tho Oituz ua11pv
Admission is made by Petrograd
that the Russians and Roumanians on
the upper reaches of the Suchitza riv-
er retired before the advancing in
vaders
Tuesday, Jan. 9.-Field Marshal Won
Mackensen has broken through the
strongly defended barrier before the
River Sereth which the Russians had
constructed at Focsami, has captured
that important Roumanian town and
taken nearly 1000 prisoners and three
guns in the process.
Some nine miles northwest of Foe
sami, the dominating height of Odo-
bechti was taken by storm. Farther
south passage of the river Milcova,
which had been strongly fortified, was
forced and Teutonic columns pressed
their way in behind the former Rus
sian line.
There are indications that the Rus
sian line towards the Danube, where
an advance by the Austro-German-
Bulgarian army is being pressed, is
holding more successfully than re-

THAW INDICTED
ON LADS STORY
Charged with Luring Boy TO
Room and Beating Him.
FORMER CHARGES RECALLED

Kansas City High School Youth Says
He Was Lashed in New York City
Hotel on Three Occasions-Body
Guard Also Arrested-Accusatio
Not New.
NEW YORK, N. Y.-Harry K. Thaw
was indicted by the grand jury on
three charges of attacking Fred
Grump, Jr, high school boy of Kan
sas City, Mo. A bench warrant was is
sued for Thaw's arrest.
Thaw is accused in the indictment
of enticing Grump, sixteen years old,
from Long Beach, Cal, to this city
and having attacked him at a hotel
with buggy whip on three different
occasions. The assault upon which the
Indictment is based is alleged to have
taken place Christmas night. The boy
fed to Kansas City, where he told
his relatives of his experiences.
Frank P. Walsh, leading lawyer of
Kansas City, came to New York and
laid the allegations of the boy before
District Attorney Swami.
Boy Makes Accusation.
The testimony of the boy and of
attaches of the hotel and others was
taken. AS soon as the bench warrant
was issued a detective started with it
for Philadelphia, where Thaw is said
to be at hotel.
The district attorney soon after the
bench warrant for Thaw's arrest was
issued received a telephone message
from Philadelphia saying that George
f. O'Byrnes, described as Thaw's
bodyguard, had been arrested in that
city, charged with aiding and abetting
his employer.
The man arrested as O'Byrne in
Philadelphia late in the afternoon by
Detective Bernard Flood, denies that
he had anything to do with Thaw and
said that he is ]. A. Brauer, travel
ing salesman.
Testimony brought out at Thaw's
trials and during the litigation over
his release from Matteawan had to do
with the whipping of young women by
Thaw and was elected in an effort to
show that Thaw was insane.
Parents of Boy Silent.
KANSAS CITY, MO. = The boy
whose story is responsible for the in
dictment of Harry Thaw is the son OF
Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Gump, who
took up their residence at 1923 East
Thirty-sixth street in this city.
They are silent in regard to the
means employed by Thaw to lure their
son from his home to New York, con
firming only the fact that their son is
the complaining witness and that they
located the boy through the efforts OF
Attorney Frank P. Walsh.
The search for the boy has been
carried on with the greatest secrecy
because of the peculiar prominence OF
Thaw and his immense resources to
thwart such an effort.

The Italians, especially of the

racially, to the Hebrews, but belong to
the same breed as the French, Rus

of Campania are not different, in
origin, from the other Italians.

Labor Saved.

If mother has several small boys
this plan is a good time saver. When
making trousers insert loops of round
white cord such as is used in corsets,
instead of working buttonholes in
Wristbands, and leave the facing wide
enough to turn back; insert the loops
and stitch down with the extra width.
This serves for buttonholes and takes
much less time.

the rescue of the surviving members of
the party, who are in dire extremity some
where in that worthless region called the
Arctic. DR.. Harrison j. Hunt, the sur
geon of the expedition, left his associates
last December and accompanied by one
other member of the party and five Es-
quimaux started with dog teams to make
journey of 14OO miles, to ask that re-
lief be sent to the unfortunate explorers.
This journey was accomplished after four
months of suffering and supreme effort.
DR.. Hunt reports that six new islands
have been discovered, extensive deposits
of coal have been located and much
scientific knowledge has been gained. If
the party now suffering in the ice packs
are rescued they will be able to bring the
scientific knowledge with them, but the
six islands and the coal will have to be
left in cold storage with the North Pole
and several other things, the search for
which is responsible for so much suffer-
ing and waste of human energy.

THE MILLIKEN REGIMENT.

This regiment has been recruited to it's
war strength and consists of six batteries
each containing ITO men, and when it
leaves for France will be fully equipped,
not only as to armament but also with all
necessary supplies. For each battery
there will be four 6-inch and 47-inch
guns of the siege type, each man with a
Colt As revolver. The regiment will have
247 horses, 81 motor cycles with side cars,
9 store trucks, SO ammunition trucks and
repair, 3 passenger, tank, IL supply and
80 tractor trucks. In ammunition there will
be 5, 400 rounds for the big guns. In ad-
dition to the six batteries of fighting men
there will be surgeons, mechanics, and all
other necessary helpers and band of %
pieces. Thus raising the number of men
to about 1900.
These men are going to the front to
meet war in it's most deafening, spectacu-
lar and horrible form. Each battery is
named for one of Names distinguished
sons and will show itself worthy of the
name it bears. Hats off to the Milliken
regiment.

TEUTONIC BANKRUPTCY.

Austria is virtually bankrupt and con-
fesses it by paying interest on it's gold
bearing bonds to outside as well as to home
creditors in paper kronen at discount of
60 per cent. in neutral money equivalent
to gold.
Germany, with the mark down week
ago to A. per cent. discount in the same
money, was evidently tottering on the
edge of this financial abyss when the
Reichsbank decided to release gold by
way of restoring it's highly disorganized
exchanges with Switzerland, Holland and
Scandinavia. 1t gave up about $40, 900, =
900, which exceeded its gains in gold for
over three months preceding. The effect
has been slight advance from the marks
greatest depreciation, but this is hardly
drop in the bucket for the need to be dealt
with. Austria practically has no gold to
give up Germany cannot give up what
it has for exchange purposes without
further weakening the Reichsbank's i'm
mense paper circulation based on its gold.
Austria is close to the bottom of the
decline. If there is any durable arrest for
Germany short of that and short of peace
it is not nov observable unless through
resort by the Kaiser to the mailed fist ap-
piled to mis- neutral neighbors who dare to
place such doubts upon German solvency

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.

OF the many interesting and important
problems before the people of this coun-
try at the present time, none has been
more frequently and thoroughly discussed
than that of the "high cost of living"
problem in which everyone is interested,
because it affects everyone financially;
but in considering this problem, many
evidently overlook certain facts We
have the grandest country on God
green earth, and in no other country is
the standard of living so high as in the
United States not the standard of the
wealthy classes, but of a very large ma
jority of the people, those who work for
their living, for in no other country are
the working people SO comfortably housed
and clothed, so well fed; whose children
enjoy so good educational advantages, or
who have so many of the comforts, and,
to certain extent, so many of the luxu-
ries of life; in no other country do the
working people get as high wages as
here, and this is the principal reason for so
many people coming here from foreign
countries. But it is an indiSputable fact
that the cost of living has been steadily
increasing for the past two or three
years; it is also as certain that as the
cost of living has increased, wages have
increased, and as wages have increased,
there has been a further increase in the
cost of living, the result of increased cost
reproduction resulting from higher wages;
but the time is coming sometime in the
future-the time depending on the dura-
ton and outcome of the present war
when the cost of living will decrease, and
when it does there will be corresponding
decrease in wages; the result is newt
able, for wages and the cost of living 60
up or down together-they cannot go in
opposite directions for any great length
of time.
We hear many people complain of what
it costs them to live, and almost inVari-
ably they complain only of the cost of
the actual necessaries of life; what they
have to pay for rent, for fuel, provisions
and groceries; what they are actually
Obliged to have to sustain life Seldom
do they complain of what it costs to fol-
low the styles in clothes, to go to the
movies" three or four times each week,
or to own and operate an automobile, as
many do who can ill-afford to do so.-

FATTEN FOWLS FOR MARKET.

Sending chickens to market which have
not been properly fattened is a wasteful
practice. The weight of healthy, we'll
grown chickens can be increased from rs
to so per cent in two weeks by proper
feeding Three hundred and fifty to 400
pounds of mash moistened with skim
milk or buttermilk and properly fed to
good fowls will produce 100 pounds of
poultry meat in from IL to IA days. Prop
er feeding of the chickens before market
ing, improves the quality of the flesh.
"Crate fed" and milk fed" are synon-
ymous with ''high quality" Chickens
which have been milk-fed in crates
should sell for from two to three cents
above the market price for unfattened
chickens.

EXCELLENT WORK.

Clothing and camp equipment for the
first million men of the new armies will
be delivered by Sept. 1st, the tentative
date of the mobilization of the first in
crement of the National Army. A state
ment issued by the War Department
says that adequate supplies for all the
National Guard and National Army will
be available by the time the troops are
called out.
The department has already equipped
300, 900 men, National Guard and regu-
lars, and the troops in France have with
them stores to last six months.
The main shortage was in tentage ma
terial. The original plan of putting the
National Guard in cantonments, the state
doned when, with the cooperation of the
supply committees on the National De-
fence Council, Quartermaster General
Sharpe was able to procure what was
needed, numerous carpet and other manu-
facturers completely revising their plants
in order to meet the Governments needs
promptly. Tents for more than half
million men will be ready Sept 1St, which
is more than will be needed by that time.
The statement explains also that Ma
tional Guard acquisitions are not now be-
ing filled, as it is necessary to conserve
the clothing supplies and see that only
men who are finally accepted for service
in the Federalized force are QUILTED.
After the Guardsmen are assembled in
their armories or at State mobilization
points to be drafted into the Federal ser
vice clothing will be issued to them. All
other supplies will 60 direct to the divi-
