We have scarcely heard Of the
wife of the general Won Hhdenburg
but it seems there is such a person
and that her life is far from happy.
She has never had the recognition
that a wife SHOULD have as the
great general is said to have but
small regard for woman. He sup
plies an ample allowance but fails
to give that consideration which
means more than material welfare.

Even newspaper editors are dis

servants. The people of the south

are non sunt inventae. The women
are gone to the factories for big

an emergency ration which has been

Many attempts have been made to

necessary nutrients to maintain a SOL

american army has tried out half a

none OF them has been wholly sue

STRANGERS IN NEW YORK

They We're strangers in New York
which explains how they happened
to wander into Seventh avenue al
Forty third street, when they really
wanted to continue their walk dowr
, Broadway. Mrs. K. j. Gilhooly, and
her grown daughter, Miss. Marry OF
Ronceverte. w, Va, of course, didn't
know that Broadway at Forty-thir6
street, was intersected by Seventh
avenue, and that's how 1t happened
Mother and daughters were not

a soldiers uniform, was somewhere
in the East And being in the East
ne would. of course, be in Broad.

he should. AT any rate, this was the
deduction of mother and daughter as
they talked 1t over in their little home
on farm near Ronceverte, w. Va.
So they came TO New York to find
John

In Seventh avenue last night they
met policeman and asked him If he
had seen John.
I'm not sure that I didn't: tell me
about him." he replied.
They did and the story revealed
that all they knew about John was
that he had been transferred from a
camp in the Southwest to some place
on the East Atlantic, coast"--and they
had come to New York to find him
That's all.
Well, mother. we'll find him for
you If he is on the Atlantic coast
or any other coast for that matter"
was the cops answer.
John T. Cavanagh. a knights OF
columbus secretary passed just at
that moment. And he was in uni
form, too. or perhaps this story would
never have been written.
Then spoke the kindly cop, who
had pledged New York's word to the
anxious mother and her daughter that
the man they sought would be found
he addressed himself to Cavanagh:

EiGHTY-NINE KILLED In
HEAD-0N TRAIN WRECK
Two Passenger Trains in Clash and
Among Fatalities Are Several
Sailors and Soldiers.

Nashville, Tenn, July 11.-Officials
of the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis railroad last night placed the
number of dead as the result of a
head-on collision between two passen-
ger trains near here Tuesday at 50 and
the injured at 70. 1t is believed now
that most of those hurt will recover.
An inquiry conducted by officials of
the road resulted in an announcement
placing blame for the collision on the
crew of the accommodation train out
bound from Nashville which apparent
ly failed TO seek orders as to where it
should await the inbound express train
from Memphis.
Most of the killed and injured
were on a local train from Nashville
which carried several coaches full of
workmen going to nearby powder
plant. The other train was an ex-
press from Memphis and the west, and
after the two engines had reared and
fallen beside the tracks the heavy
coaches of the express plowed through
the baggage car on the accommodation
train and demolished two other
coaches.
Among the killed were several SOL
diers and sailors.

Washington. July 13.-The Spanish
government has informed the state de-

STA.
This statement tends to aggravate
strained relations of the United States
with Turkey. If Turkeys response to
American demands for an explanation

declaration of war will in all proba-
bility result.
Turkey has not vet replied to in

TEUT OFFENSIVE HELD UP
BY SOME SERIOUS OBSTACLE
Washington Officials Unable to See
Reason for German Delay
When Time Means Much.

Washington, July 13.-The convic-
ton that the German high command
has encountered serious obstacles in
pressing the offensive on the western
front is gaining ground in the minds
of officials here. They cannot believe
that renewal of the attack would be de-
ferred voluntarily when it is obvious
that every days additional delay works
against the ultimate success of the
whole purpose of forcing a military de-
cision this year to which the Germans
are committed.
Secretary Baker has made it clear
that the time that has elapsed since
the last German effort and the failure
of the enemy to react against repeat
ed successful local counter attacks by
French, British and American troops
were accepted as conclusive evidence
that the German offensive was being
held in check by some consideration
other than the purely practical one of
preparing the storm troops.
Meanwhile the steady pressure of To-
cal operations by the allies along the
entire battle area from Ypres to-
Rheims continues. Not day has pass
ed now for week in which some ter
ritory has not been wrested from the
enemy. and it is reported that nearly
5000 prisoners have been taken. The
similarity of the tactics employed by
both the French and British armies is
taken here to indicate that the 'nibbl-
ing" process il part of definite plan
being carried out by General Foch, SUI
preme commander. probably to harass
the enemy in his preparations.

Washington, July 1.-THE remark.

gions in re-establishing law and order
in Siberia and in overcoming armed
opposition from German and Austrian
prisoners Of war has had the effect of
suspending the preparation of plans
! by the entente powers and the United
States for the organization Of an inter-
national military force to campaign in
! Siberia
1t was stated authoritatively yester-
day, however. that none of the plans
considered had met the objection of
the United States government that they
involved weakening of the western
front in Europe. Besides this objec-
tion there has been reluctance on
the, part of the administration to de-
part from its policy of non-interfer-
ence in the internal affairs of friend
~ country, although it was admitted
that an exception might be justified in
the case of Siberia if it were clearly
established that the native population
was forcibly dominated by Austro-
German soldiers and influence.
1t is understood that an agreement
to try the American proposal to as
sist the Russians economically to re-
habilitate themselves was abotu as

entente and the Washington author |
titles had progressed when news of the |
rapid Czecho-Slovak campaign in ST.
