WOMEN'S WAGES ARE LOW.

Rome, Aug. 2O.-While women's clothes have doubled in price, the wage paid dressmakers' employees still re- mains about 60 cents day. The ex- ploitation of women workers in Italy is being discussed in connection with the recent strike of Paris midinettes Rome's two most fashionable establish ments, despite their war prices, con- tinue to pay their sewing girls at this rata with three months layoff in summer. As it is impossible for these on such wages, many of them have i turned to work as house maids, where at least they get their food.
 One of the chief difficulties of work ing women at present is to get shoes for which they now have to pay S4 a pair for the quality that before the war cost them $1.

 GET TWO SURPRISES
Receive Uniforms In Morning, and Treat of Refreshments By
 Ladies In Afternoon.

Yesterday was a happy day for the members of the Pine Bluff Motor Truck company, Arkansas National guard.
 That their uniforms were here was the first thing they learned early yes terday morning, obtaining this infor- nation from The Graphic, which told of Commander Henry Roberts trip to Little Rock the night before, and his return with three automobile loads of equipment for "his boys" The young soldiers were outfitted in the fore noon, were soon marching about in their new military togs," appearing every bit the manly "Sammies" they are proving themselves to be.
 Another pleasant surprise was giv- en them in the afternoon, when kind ly, thoughtful ladies-realizing how thirsty men become when worked hard these warm days-served the members of the company with lemon ade, cake and watermelon. The ladies who gave the boys this appreciated treat at the Athletic field are Mrs. Will Fox, Mrs. T. B. Lyle, Mrs. Car roll Bishop and Miss Elizabeth Lyle
 Commander Roberts stated last nigh that he is proud of the appear ancc and of the conduct of the mem hers of his company. He plans to take them on a hike today or to- morrow. Because the company has not yet received canteens, no long march can be taken It is proba ble that the boys will be marched to the cid golf links, drilled there a short while and then marched back to the city.

DEMAND PERUVIAN COTTON.

The following dispatch has been re- ceived from the United States legation at Lima:
 There is growing demand for the type of cotton developed in Peru and known as the Peruvian mitafifi cot ton. The lint does not attach to the seed as it does in other varieties. The lint is very long and exceptionally strong. It is worth in the open mar ket AS cents gold a pound, and tae price continues to rise. Its length and strength of fiber makes it pecul- iarly desirable for the construction of airplanes and automobile tires. it is stated here. The cotton is gin ned by a special gin developed in England, and it is important that these should be sent here in larger numbers or the acreage can not be materially increased.

THE MAKING OF A
SOLDIER OF THE SEAS

\ Marine Corps Cantonment. Nov.
r. The only enlisted man in the ser
vice of the United States with two
medals of honor is one Daniel Daley,
top sergeant OF a machine gun com
pany of the Marine Corps in training
here
He got his second medal only the
other day. It is strung on blue rib

Daley thinks the only thing to do is
70 keep them in his back pocket.
Daley is the real fighting man He
is the oldest man in his country
older than the major himself-and he
enlisted long ago. 1t was during the
Boxer rebellion in China that he
earned his first medal OF honor. Daley
wasn't the first man over the wall,
bur he was the first man over that
particular section at which he was
stationed. He held hack an entire
army corps, more or less, of Boxers
until the rest of the boys got up and
over. and medal OF honor was his
reward
The second medal came after he
pitched into gang of bandits down
in Santo Domingo and routed them
single.handed. Daley never displays
his medals except to the friends OF
the major, on the Majors orders.
Then he does ii reluctantly He has
something of the attitude Of a miser
toward them.
Although he must be full of them.
Daley never tells a story When the
boys gather in the clubhouse at night
Daley will go out into camp and
hunt up some old crony of former
campaigns who is a story teller and
bring him back to entertain the newly
enlisted men. Then he will go to bed,
for Daley is the hero of many story
that is told by the older men of the

WAR MANUFACTURING CEN
TER.

London, Nov THE Tagliamento
river line has fallen and Italy's ar
mics from the Alps to the Adriatic
are in retreat. according to official
statements from Berlin and admitted
by Rome.
Rome reports that the retreat is be,
ing carried out methodically and
that the morals of the troops is good.
Cavalry, fighting heroically, is acting
as a rear guard screen against the
enemy's advance.
An AustroGerman-Turk Bulgarian
horde, estimated at more than 1000.
600 men, is pouring into northeastern
Italy
Emperor Charles of Austria is re-
ported to have crossed the Tagliamen-
TO with his troops near Codriopo.
The Berlin statement says that the
Italians are drawing in their lines
from the Fella Valley to the Colbri-
con. north of the Sugana Valley. This
is taken here to indicate Cadorna
plans to turn over all OF eastern
Venetia to the Teutons. The with
drawal extends as far west as the
Trentino district, Colbricon being
near the Austria border, about forty
miles northeast of Trent. The Fella
Valley is directly north of Udlne.
The Italian positions given up in this
sector have been occupied by Italy
since it entered the war
The objective OF the retiring Ital-
ians is the Piava River, which runs
approximately twenty-five miles west
of the Tagliamento and cuts north
west across the neck OF Italian ter
ritory about seventeen miles east Of
Venice.
If Cadorna makes his stand there
he will be fighting on a sixty-mile
front, compared with one OF 100 miles
at the time the Isonzo retreat started
That Venice may be attacked is in
dieated in dispatches received here
today from Amsterdam. II declares
German newspapers are preparing the
public for an attack on the famous
art center. asserting that it is now an
important war manufacturing city.
The admission by Rome today Of
the AustroGerman attacks in force
along the lower Tagliamento is taken
here as an indication of Mackensen' S
attempt TO flank the Italians from the
south as well as the north.
The Italian statement asserts that
certain mountainous areas were
evacuated This is accepted here as
referring to the section around Pin
zano, Castelnovo and Sequale, on the
right bank Of the Tagiamento.
The Italian retreat along the Tag
liamento, from the Alps to the Adrl-
attic, is over a ninety-three-mli front.
Berlin states that contlagrations
mark the path of retreat between the
mountains and the sea through the
upper Italian plain.
Rome warns that the retirement
should not cause surprise, as the
withdrawal had been foreseen from
the heavy masslng of troops by the
enemy on the left flank.
