Battalion of Turkish
Women

That there is a battalion of Turk
lsh women to serve behind the front
is, perhaps, the most interesting Of
recent announcements from the For
eign News Service of the woman's
committee, Council of National De-
fense. A telegram from Constantinople
to the Rhenischer Gazette saws that
Turkish women are to be admitted to
the army. The Association of Ottoman
Women has sent out appeals to wo-
men between the ages of 18 and 80
to enroll in the battalion just created.
This will be attached to the first corps
of the Turkish army, and will work
eight hours day back of the front.
For the present the officers of this
battalion, both commissioned and nom
commissioned, will be men, but wo-
men will replace them an soon as
trained.
This battalion" says the woman's
committee, is the equivalent. at least
so far as it goes. of the British Waacs
(woman's army auxiliary corps) and
step in advance of what has been
attempted by this country or, so far
as the committee knows, by any other
of the allied countries. providing, as it
does, opportunity for women to actu-
ally serve in the army and behind the
battle line. Previous reports arriving
through the Foreign News Service
have indicated that many Turkish wo-
men were taking advantage of the
war emergency to modify their dress,
dispense with their wells, and, in some
cases, accept clerical position, but this
is the first intimation of an Associa-
ton of Ottoman Women"

Riddles Make Black
Cats of Old Silk Hose
For French OrDhnns

Save the tops of your old silk hose
for the Belgian childrenl What could
be made of old silk hose? Stocking
caps? No, indeed; they want one
of the cunning black cats that are
made from these bits of silk, by the
tiny fingers of the Omaha kindergar-
ten children.
Very fierce looking animals they
are, too, and when one sees a whole
stack O black cats made by our chill
dren they are a formidable looking
army. The feet are cut off of the
hose, scissors and thread are brought
into action and before you can wink,
:. life-size cat stands before you. The
BODY is stuffed with ravelings, the
ears are made from tiny pieces Of
the silk carefully fastened to the head,
white threads form the whiskers,
while the beady little eyes are repre-
sented by small white buttons. And
what is that long, braided piece of
black silk? All, thereon hangs
tail! The fercest looking one that
ever graced a feline is the finishing
touch to these every thread silk
cats.
Children at Saratoga school were
the first to make these toys for their
tiny friends in France and Belgium.
Every box of warm clothing that is
sent to the fatherless kiddies "over
there" contains one of these toys
and can't you just hear the shouts
OF glee that will greet them when
these boxes are opened in some de-
vastated town where only sorrow and
suffering seem to aboundl A toy is
more to a child than food and drink
and these small Omahans are surely
doing a bit toward gladdening the
hearts of the tiny folk across the sea.

Woman Accused Of
Numbering Infant
Gets Disagreement

The trial of Annie P. Mark, 25
years old, of Ridgewood, for the al
legged murder of her new born female
child, which was begun Tuesday
morning before Justice Charles W.
Parker and a jury, resulted that eve
ming in a disagreement.
Perhaps this was the first murder
trial in this county which went to the
jury without any defense having been
put in.
At the conclusion of the States
case Judge Peter w. Stage, counsel
for the accused woman, moved for an
acquittal on the ground that evidence
of the State did not warrant con-
viction. The motion being denied,
Judge Stage closed his case without
putting in any defense, claiming the
State had failed to prove its case.
1t was rumored that the jury stood

Miss Breiby's Concert
Was Fine Success
Before Large Crowd

Friday evening last, Miss Briefly
of West Palisade and her pupils gave
a piano recital in the Palisade School
House. A large and interested au-
dience attended and judging by tha
applause and encores that were de-
manded, were well pleased and sur
prised at the excellence of the per-
formances.
Miss Briefly at the end gave two
selections, -"Polonaisel E. Major" by
List and "Chant D'Amour," by Sto-
jowski. The brilliancy and the SYM
pathetic feeling in Miss Brieby's
rendering of tbs wonderful music
enthralled the listeners, who remained
spell bound till the last notes died
away.
Miss Briefly was a student under
Stojowski, and has also played at a
reception to Paderewski in New York
City. She has instilled into all her
pupils the manner and style of the
best classical music performers.
Even the beginners showed the pains
she has taken in her instructions.

carnations We're presented to Miss

P. 0. Mystery Solued
Fox Commission Not
Yet Run Its Course


The seething discomfort, question
ings and sspeculations of the borough
can at Hast be, to a certain extent,
settled Along one line and the great
question Of the post Office appoint
ment can be laid to rest-for while.
The facts of the Well-deep has
been the mystery! The principals in
volved-who seemed to have no scru-
ples-refused to answer when ap-
preached and various groups in town
had as many bits of apparent authen-
tic information and ones sympathies
varied according to the society he or
she moved in.
Then appeared Mr.. Kenny in
charge "by authority" and that
seemed to settle the momentous
question: but after that Washington
being appealed to by some enterpris-
ing not so easily answered citizen, re-
piled that nobody was appointed yet!
So there you are, back again to
speculation and wonderment.
The facts of the matter seem to- be
these: Mr.. Fox is postmaster of
Grantwood Post Office until next
February-anyone else who becomes
postmaster in that interim must be
appointed by the Security Company
with who reposes the bond.
The ultimate appointment perma-

FUTURE MEETINGS In HIGH SCHOOL

The regular meeting of the Citi-
zens' Club was held at Carney Hall.
Monday evening, with large attend
ance and much discussion on impor-
tant matters affecting the borough.
President Smith called for reports
of committees in regard to the zon-
ing of the borough for building re-
strictions. Mr.. Lehsten, chairman Of
that committee had obtained much
information, and answered many
questions.
This matter is of the utmost i'm
portance to this community's future
for the building restrictions lapse
shortly and men who have bought
lots cheaply in speculation will be
free to erect any kind of building
which will bring in the most income,
unless the borough does some effect
i've legislative work very soon.
At present only three large cities
in New Jersey hava the zone restric-
tions yet they are really more needed
in smaller places. The whole matter
needs a State wide campaign, but
who has the time to take it up?
The need was apparent but no de-
finite action was taken.
A committee was appointed to con-
slider the future meeting place of the
Club, Messrs. Donaldson, Post and
Whelan being such committee and the
concensus of opinion was in favor of
the High School as the center of the
town, thus centralizing thu meeting,

aged by the reverse and announced
that he will renew his application
before the court when that body
hears the argument in the Colling-

the same issue of the right of

abrogate contracts between mu-
inequalities and utility corporations
with respect to rates ana service.
AS the situation stands to-day
the utility corporations of the
State, particularly the Public Ser
vice, which is fighting for increased
rates, stand apparently in much
improved condition before the Pud-
lie Utility Commission as a result
of the decision of the Errors Court
Yesterday afternoon in the Atlantic
Coast case, in which the court held
that the Utility Board has authority
to disregard thesecontracts in the
regulation of rates. The opinion said
that in so doing the Commission
is exercising the broad, sovereign
power Of the State, delegated
to it by the Legislature. The deei-
sion reversed the Supreme Court
which had held that the Utility
Board could not change the rates
charged in the borough OF Bradley
Beach by the Atlantic Coast Electric
Company, because they were fixed
by the ordnance Of that borough
and agreed to by the trolley company
and that the agreement could not
be violated.
