WOMEN BANK CLERKS SHOW

Boston, Nov. 8.-Women bankers
are a reality in this city. Every
bank has been hit by the war, and
women are filling the positions va
Gated by men. But, in the opinion of
leading bank officials, it takes from
three to five women to do the work
of two men. "And even then women
do not know how to concentrate -
said John J. Reidy, of the Hanover
Trust Company. "A girls mind fit
ters away to something other than
her work. And when she makes a
mistake she simply goes to pieces.
There are wonderful opportunities
open for women today if they will
make the most of them. Have them
learn how to concentrate-that's the
weakest point in their armor.

NATIVE AUSTRIAN CAUSE
OF GRIEF OF EMPEROR
ny international News service.)

, (By International News Service.)
Somewhere in France, Nov. L.
Here's little more grief for EN-
peror Karl of Austria.
One of the first Of the United
States Marines to be cited for brav-
cry in action in France was Sergeant
Louis Cu.cla, former cook from
Minneapolis, MINI. During coun-
ter attack by Germans on the night
of April 10, Sergeant Cukela handled
his men so well that his command
ing officers commended him for BRAY
cry.
So much for that, July Is, the Ma
Zines were fighting in the Forest de
Retz, near Villers-Commetres, as a
part of the great Allied counter-at-
tack that was to begin the German
retreat that has lasted ever since.
Again Sergeant Louis Cukela was
present--to the extent that when a
stronghold of the enemy held up his
line, he worked his way to its rear
and by the use of captured German
hand grenades, attacked and captur-
ed two machine guns and four men
for which he received the Distin.
guished Service Cross.
And why should all this bring
grief to Emperor Carl? Simply be-
cause of the fact that the official
record of Sergeant Cukela shows
that he was born May /, 1888, in
Schemes, Dalmatia. Austria.
