sible against the eventuality of an assassination of any of the members of the former imperial family, by a secret article in the Brest-LltovsK treaty providing for the treatment of the former emperor and his family. This article, as discussed in dlplo- matic circles, required that the per sonal safety of the imperial family should be safeguarded by suitable military and police guards, and that their future surroundings should be in keeping with the dignity of thelr former position. It was in accord ance with this provision it IS sald that the Red Guard, which formerly had charge of the imperial family was changed to guard of Letton- ians in whom special confidence was reposed. The change of the place of imprisonment to Yekaterinburg IS also said to have resulted from this same provision requiring safeguards against personal danger to the i'm perial family.
 The prevailing diplomatic view here is that the interest of the German authorities in Nicholas and his fam fly was something more than human itarian, and foresees the possibility o1 German support, for an imperial re storation in Russia, if that shoulc eventually prove an effective part o1 German policy in Russia.

WOMEN WORKERS.

 Paris, Aug. 10.-Women employed in all branches of industry in France number 626,OOO, according to an of ficial report. This compares with 487,0OO employed in normal times. This increase is due almost entirely to the employment of women in metal industries, chiefly in munitions works. The weight which women can be required to carry in factory work is limited by law to 55 pounds.
 Women are widely employed for the inspection of finished goods, they ex- anime separate parts for automo- piles; verify light shells, fuses annd grenade plugs. They inspect big shells externally and internally by the use of electric lamps and they test the caliber using complicated measuring apparatus and micro scopes. They nail up cases of all kinds, even cases for airplanes and automobiles. The women supervise the buildings where men are at work and keep them clean.

 , This distinction does no wrong to , the defenders of Apremont and Seich- , eprey. The men did their best there, , and that best was as good as could be , expected under the circumstances, , but their best then was not so good , as their best at Xivray. That is the , significance given to the distinction , by French officers. They say that it , was at Xivray the men holding the , sector showed they had learned how , to do what must be done in the front , line.

might have succeeded but for the work of the quick-firers.
 Six hundred men advanced to the attack in no less than dozen differ ent columns, led by two hundred picked Bavarian storming troops. They came up on the right flank, on the left and on the center under cov- CT of smoke, making dark night still darker. They crept up the ra- vines and slipped through the hol- lows. The sharp ears of sentries alone prevented total surprise.
 Their guns laid down a heavy box barrage that prevented the reinforc- ing of the front line. One platoon, led by Lieutenant Doan, from Maine, got through the first curtain of fire Doan even went through the second with some volunteers, but that was all the help that could be sent to the 225 men that were holding the line attacked. They were only one to three but they fought in way to surprise and dismay the six hundred Germans.
 One machine gun section in the village was reduced to two men, Mon- fort Wyckoff and John Flynn. Their gun damned and Flynn kept the Ger ns-off with his revolver while Wyckoff got the quick-fire going again. They held their ground to the end. Two other, men, unable to get a sight at the Germans from their trench climbed the parapet and stood there erect firing their automatics from the shoulder. Two infantry men crawled out of shell to get a better aim.
 The Germans had lost third of their 600 men when growing daylight impaired the effectiveess of their smoke screen and they began to re- tire. The fifty odd unwounded Americans left out of 225 went over 1 tHe lOp dllei tteIi.
 Two hundred is a conservative es- l innate of the German losses for our men buried forty of them on the field and there were more corpses in the tall grass facing the position, i out of reach. Thus the Germans lost nearly as many men as they had fac 1 ing them during the fight.
 One of the heroes of the day was a cook who had been dismissed from service on account of loose habits with respect to drink. When sober he was possessed of an astonishing amount of perseverance. He had foiled all efforts of the officers to put him out of the division. He left one regiment to appear in another. He passed from one company to an- other until he had reached the last one. If he was thrown out of that it was all over with his soldering. He was one of the volunteers that went though both barrages and he stayed through the fight giving first aid to the wounded under the sharpest fire from the assailants.
