INDIANA TOWN COUNCIL
OFFICIALLY APPROVES OF OVER.
ALLS FOR WOMEN WORKERS
(By Associated Press.l

Bloomington, Ind, Aug. 26. Over
alls for women workers have been
officially approved by the city council
which held special session to pass
upon the propriety of the use Of these
garments by women.
This is the home of large furnt,
ture factory. When the army called
many men workers to the colors,
women took their places. The state
factory law prohibits the wearing of
loose clothing near machinery and
overalls were adopted by women
workers. Their appearance on the
street going to and from their work
caused a protest to be filed with the
city council by the women leaders Of
a reform organization The protest
was published.
1t was answered by mothers OF
working girls who held that the over
alls were more modest than the pre-
vailing styles in women's dress to be
seen on the streets of this college
town. The male employees of the fac
tory rallied to the cause of the cover
Jail girls" and the general superintend-
ent issued an open letter approving
of overalls for women.
Finally Mayor Weaver called the
special session of the council. It was
ATTENDED by women workers and So
ciety women. After much discussion,
the overalls were officially approved

POLITICAL SITUATION
IN CAUCASUS DANGEROUS
FOR THE ENTENTE

Picking, Aug. 26.-The political sit
uation in the Caucasus is full OF dan
ger for the Entante allies according
to E. A. Yarrow, chairman of the
American committee for Armenian |
and Syrian relief, who arrived in
Picking from Tiflis recently.
From Batoum to the British front
in southern Persia the only force op-
posed to any German-Turkish ad-
vance, he said, is comparatively
small number of Amenians with linn
tied supplies of food and ammuni-
ton cut off from, all communication
with the allies. On the other hand
all the Tartars are loyal to Turkey
and Germany. The Northern portion
Of Persia, he declared, is pro-German
and these elements are ready to take
hand in the war if equipment and
leaders can be furnished them. There
is possibility of this Germany sym.
pathy extending to Turkestan and Az
ganistan.
In the Caucasus and northern
Persia, Mr.. Yarrow says, the Ger
mans could mobilize at least a mil
lion men and while they are not es-
pecially good fighters they could
greatly embarrass the English in
southern Persia and Mesopotamia.
Two ways are open to combat this
MANAGE, namely, strong pressure in
Persia and Mesopotamia, and the
remote possibility Of striking the enc
my through Siberia.
"The Germans have the Caucasus
and southern Russia" Yarrow con.
tinued, land are pressing on with all
sorts of enterprises and making con.
quests which require little or no mil
itary force. AS they go on they are
picking up their war prisoners com
patriots and under one guise or an
other getting them armed SO as to
cooperate when the time comes. The
Mohammedan races in that region
are getting the idea that the German
arms are invincible. There is cease
less activity Of German agents amons
them pressing this view upon them
and If events follow logically as the,
have begun it seems almost certain
that the Allies will have a most diff
ficult situation to deal with"
MIR. Yarrow described conditions
obtaining at the time of his depar
ture, about he middle of March, a.
follows: All communication to Per
STA had been cut by the local Tai
tars. The railroad south of Erival
had not been in operation for severa
. months Officers of the Turkisl
army were working in this section
training the Tartars.
The railroad from Tiflis to Bak,
was entirely in the hands of the Tai
, tars and they permitted only an ot
, casional rain to pass and that sui
! Ject to the most rigid search at sta
/ tions enroute. From the train TO
, lowing that on which the Yarro,
) party came out nine non-combatan
Englishmen were taken at Elizabeth
pol and although Yarrow remained /
! Baku ten days they had not been re
! leased.
On the Turkish front to the ives
there was considerable activity. A
ter the fall Of Trebizond, Erzerur
and kars the only way out from Bak
was over the Georgian Pass fro,
Tifiis to Vladikavka by automobil
and this was becoming uncertai
I because of the approach of German
! from Rostov. The American consu
Smith, remained in Tifis and expec
! ed to hold on as long as possible.

"Another way is to climb vertically with
motor on until stalled, then give rudder and
keep stick back. The plane will fall to side
on which rudder is used and go into a fat
spin with lots of whip in it, The motor will
cut out at the top of the stall, but will start
again about the time the spin begins
Although spin can be made and taken
out with the motor on there is danger of
breaking or straining the plane, and it is
better policy to throttle down.
The way to come out of spin usually
taught is to push stick forward to neutral
position and give opposite rudder until
spin stops. The ship is then in nose

many real dangers. and it is hard to rec

the productive and rich land which ante
dated the black era of revolution. With
recent exploration in mind he declares: ::
"Northern Mexico. or at least that portion
of it lying south of Laredo on the border,

struggling, dust-choked cactus Never in

most proptious. it is infinitely less so now
when years of unendinE revolution and
counter revolution have left their cruel
marks on the countryside and on the people
iphabiting it.
"For the moment the wider and more or
less political revolutionary movements have
died from sheer inanitiop leaving as after

4 War Kitchen Where

huge gas kitchen, supplying thousands of
persons daily with hot, nourshing food, has
