Marlatt said he could not overlook
the fact that they had destroyed
school proptrty, even though he real
lied the spirit OF patriotism which
prompted the deed. Mr.. Marlatt di-

book damaged, and 1t would then be-
come his personal property.
At a meeting the juniors accepted
the ruling. Many OF the parents,
however, insist they will not permit
the boys to pay for the books, and
are indignant that the school authori-

class-rooms. Besides the objection

other German songs and several ar

G|RLSAT WORK
DURING AIR RAID

When the history OF the war is
chronicled there will be a bulky
volume devoted to the women OF Eng
land, who forgot their dangers and
woes while they carried on" to help
win the war, and one long chapter of
this will tell a thrilling and romantic
story OF workers in airplane fac
tories, according TO Miss Christina c.
Sloss, OF Australia, who arrived re-
Gently at an Atlantic port
Miss Sloss belongs to one of those
noble families recorded in Captain
Knyvett's "Over There With the Aus
tralians." Five of her brothers volun-
teered. Three OF these are now fight
oner OF the Turks.
Miss Sloss was a nurse in New York
when she decided to go into war work
herself Twice she attempted to cross
the Atlantic. The first steamship she
boarded was turned back and the sec
ond torpedoed. Finally she landed and
took up a course in airplane work
After completing my apprentice
ship ! went to work in an airplan
factory, where I remained until com
ing here for a rest" said Miss Gloss.
There were 5000 young women at
work in the factory. and never can /
describe how they are striving. They
remain at their benches or machines
thirteen hours a day, never complain
ing and always anxious to do their ut
most. Day and night the factory
runs, for the cry IL ever for more air
plane parts.
There were many alarms OF the ap-
proach Of air raiders while / was
working in the factory. and we had
been drilled to run for cover upon the
alarm, given generally twenty minutes
before the raids occurred. Shelters
were assigned us and II was expected
we should cease work.
But the alarm never made those
women run for shelter. All il
was to make them bend lower over
their machines and work with more
speed. The alarm only made them de-
termined to turn out completed bits OF
the aiTplanes the faster"

troops in Roumania, South Russia,

between two fires-the victorious
armies of the entente and the en-

The exit of Bulgaria from the war

ever, indicated that such an advance
may not prove necessary, as Bull

pointed out at the Russian embassy,

Russia from Mesopotamia and Persia

GIRLS LEARNING
AUTO REPAIRING

The Denver Opportunity schoor' is
a unique institution which is creating
new fields for women's labor. More
than 100 young women and girls have
learned automobile operating and re-
pairing there within the last few
months, In order to fit themselves for
such service and to release men for
the army or munition shops. The
schools work will supplement that Of
the training and dilution service OF the
Department OF Labor to some extent
Miss Emily Griffith is principal of
the institution. Some OF the girls have
gone to France to drive ambu-
lances. Others are finding their places
in the community by driving jitney
buses.
The Opportunity School" is also
proving OF great value to farm girls,
who are now learning farm manage
ment and how to do lighter kinds OF
farm work The shortage OF labor in
some farming sections Of Colorado and
Nebraska during the present season
made their addition to the ranks Of
workers more than welcome.

the annual 2o0-mile pigeon futurity
race OF the United Homing Pigeon
.Concourse. The birds left the field

The winning bird arrived at the

The time made in this race was
remarkable. Fifty-nine yards per

birds travelled or approximately one
yard per second. 1t is probably that
after these birds have had several
more drills they will be turned over
to the Government
Another race, in which $500
pigeons will be included, will start
from Washington next Sunday morn

the supervision OF the Government.
All birds who fly in these races

Russian and Roumanian diplomats
here today foresaw the complete col
lapse of Germany's policy in the
Balkans and in the East.
The signing Of the armistice by
Bulgaria on the terms laid down by
the allies was interpreted by officials
at the Russian embassy as the re-
sumption of power in Bulgaria by
the Russophile group Of Bulgarian
statesmen represented by Premier
Malinoff. This, II was declared,
would prove in the near future a
most powerful stimulant to the ef-
forts of the revolutionary democracy
of Russia to restore Russia's unity
and independence.
The stimulant. Russian officials
pointed out, would be both military
and political. The virtual exit OF
Bulgaria from the war opens the
road for the entrance OF allied troops
into Roumania and thence to south
ern Russia and the Ukraine. where
the population fighting the German
invaders. is eagerly awaiting outside

the vital question of increasing the
floor space and serving capacities OF
this class of restaurants, already
doing standing room business" at
luncheon and dinner hours. 1t Is on
this that Mr.. Wilson wants helpful
assistance. Studying the situation in
Washington from many angles Mr..
Wilson sees the difficulties of obtain
ing buildings in which there may be
enlargement of facilities either in ad-
ditions to existing establishments or
opening OF new ones. The stern
necessity of trying to do something Is
aroUsing him to continuous investiga-
tion and consideration.
Mr.. Wilson feels that there is an
immense field in Washington now, and
for many years to come for huge res
taurants and lunch rooms supplying
the public at popular prices. II pri-
vste capital does not wish to take
chances he thinks the door is open for
public spirited men and women of
wealth to make ventures, intent only
upon making the places pay small net
profits, sufficient for interest upon
investments.
He does not think it essential that
these establishments should be To-
Gated only in the congested centers of
the city. They could be operated in
congested residential centers. il only
TO furnish breakfasts and dinners.
Lunch Rooms Toe Small.
Mr.. Wilson believes that enlarge
ment OF the facilities of departmental
and bureau lunch rooms so'that Gov
ernment workers may also get light
meals for breakfast and dinner, as
l. ~ afe-
ing prospect now. He is in touch
with departmental and bureau heads
as to Just what increase of facilities
may be expected from proprietors OF
these places. who merely have con-
cessions of floor spaces for their op-
erations. Here again, though. comes
in the question OF space. Congress
IL already inquiring il IL is not pos
sible to move Government bureaus
away from Washington to relieve the
congestion in office buildings, houses,
and apartments. To give up more
hoor space to cafeterias is to restrict
the office needs OF the Government.
The new dormitories that are going
up in Washington under the housing
operations will have restaurant
privileges for 5000 clerks who will
eventually occupy them. That will

The Germans are changing the type
OF their defense lines, deserving con-
crete strongholds for flexible machine
gun nests. Usually their infantryneu
are grouped behind bushes or lie in
the tall grass, not firing until the
attackers are close to them.
Apparently each line OF machine
guns and infantry tries to delay the
American advance as much a. pos
sible, depending upon the next line
to take up the burden afterward.
The Americans have been sur
prised to md fewer trenches than
they expected, but much wire, behind
the deserted Hindenburg line. In
filtration OF American patrols through
the defenses has not been difficult.
The engineers are speedily improv-
ing all necessary roads. During the
first two days of the advance, some
roads were almost impossible,
streams of traffic continually slipping
into mud holes. Putting tractors,
sometimes two or three hooked to-
gether, pulled trucks, guns, and
