The Kittens and the Mouse

Once upon time there was a
cat that had two kittens.
One was black and the other
was white. The mother was black
with a white ring around her neck.
There was pile of books on the
floor. Next to the books was a
bottle of ink and roll of paper.
They saw a mouse under the roll
Of paper. It's tail was sticking out
The kittens saw it and kept waiting
for it to come out. Their names
were Blackie, White and Spotie
They ran after it and knocked the
books down and split the ink on
the roll of paper.
They tracked it all over the
house. They caught it and took it
over in the backyard and had q
nice feast and that was the end of
the mouse.-By Florine. Mitchell,

BETTY AND HER DOLL

Little Betty was little girl five
years Of age. She lived with her
parents at the edge Of the great
forest. Betty was the only child.
She had one dell which she told
all her secrets to.
One day her grandmother came
and took her to her home and kept
her for a couple of weeks.
When she came back she went
to look for her corn cob doll, for
she did not have dollies like the
other little girhes have nowadays.
But to her surprise she found a
new wax doll which her parents.
had bought her while she was
away. She learned to love this
new doll as much as her old one.

MIKE AND CARRIE

Mike and Carrie are dead:
Out in the Glen was their home;
No more will they roam,
Or nod their heads.
As the children look
The monkeys would try to read a
book.
No more peanuts viii they eat,
Or try to stand or their heads
Instead of their feet.
Or wash their faces
And get out Of places.
/ don't know II they were married
But this is the end Of Mike and

GIRLS OF CANDY LAKE

Last summer in, June, four girls
and l went to Candy lake to spend
our vacation. The girls names
were Hazel, Louise, Mary and Flor
ence. We lived in a large house,
where there were very many boats.
One day we took boat to go
fishing. We got in and went out
on the lake. While we were busily
engaged in fishing we did not no
tice large black cloud which hung
threateEingly above US. A swift
gust OF wind made US realize our
danger. Florence and Hazel took
their places at the oars and pulled
with all their might. Although they
were considered good in handling
boat we could make no progress
against the wind. We were being
driven farther away from our
house every instant.
Although we were all scared, we
said nothing. The wind howled
and the big waves looked as they
would swamp us every minute. We
were SO frightened that we did
not see large motor boat that had
come up behind us. 1t was the
owner of the house, Mr. Moore,
where We boarded, who had come
to search for us. We were trans
ferred, not to our sorrow, to the
motor boat and we were soon
at home.
After this, we never left shore
far without having, Mr.. Moore

WORKERS ID ACCEPT THE
 LABOR AWARDS
Matter Now Under Consid eration By War Depart
 ment Officials

Washington, Sept. 6.---Steps to en- force the acceptance by employees of the raunition factories in Bridgeport, Conn.,, of the recent award of the war labor board are under consideration by the secretary of war. In making this announcement last night, the war department said the secretary had taken the matter up with the war la bor board as the result of an appeal by the ordnance department, con- tracts let which are being delayed by strikes in the plants.
 An interpretive statement by Otto M Eidltz, supplementing his award as umpire in the Bridgeport munition workers wage controversy, it was an- nounced yesterday by the war labor board, was expected to result in the return to work of 5000 machinists now striking because of dissatisfac- tion over the award.
 The statement says workers are not barred from classification into groups as the machinists believed and that such classification may be obtained by collective bargaining with local boards.
 MT. Eddlitz made his statement at the request of Secretary Baker. He makes it clear that the workers are expected to stay at their posts under present conditions only until their differences can be permanently ad- justed4

Important arrests are expected at any hour and it was hinted the trail will lead to unexpected and influ- ential quarters.
 Government agents were mum as to the details of the discoveries they have made and will not reveal any facts concerning the disciphering of the various codes found in the first raid upon the home of Charles Mudry. They are however, confident they hay discovered one of the mediums Or communication between enemy forces.
 Papers found when the radio sta ton was seized led the federal agents on trip out of town today and it is quite probable that a chain of sim liar wireless plants will be seized along the sea coast. All doubts as to the sending capacity of the instru- ments seized were dispelled this morn ing by the discovery of more batteries which if hooked onto the instruments would give them a sending power of some 500 or 600 miles.
 Federal agents would not discuss the subject in any detail today but in an- swer to inquiries said that it is quite possible the instruments taken in the

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

During 43rd week of the laying con- test of Storrs the birds laid S,609 eggs or yield of 51.6 per cent, which is AT more than last week and 2S1 ahead of the corresponding week last year. Of the 1000 birds competing, 229 failed to lay an egg during the week, or in other words there were that many slackers.
 Besides winning the week with 55 eggs the Oregons are now 15 eggs ahead of last years leading pen of the same date. Pen 8, owned by Richard Allen, Pittsaeld, Mass, and pen S7 entered by Oak Hill estate, Uniontown, Pa., were tied for second place with a production of 5S eggs each. Pen 78, owned by E. A. Bal lard, Chestnut Hill, Pa, was a close third with 52 eggs, while Hollywood Farms birds were an equally close fourth with 51 eggs.
 Now that the agricultural fairs and poultry shows are beginning the question of egg exhibits is worth while considering. Exhibits of all kinds to encourage and develop better, mora standarized grade of animals or pre- ducts. The standard egg exhibit is 8 plate of one dozen. Uniformity of shape, size and color; weight; texture of shell; and the condition of the egg in reference to its freshness, are the main points to be considered in se- lecting a dozen show eggs. Most of tie points are external but the judge has a right to, and should, break one egg in each dozen to determine it's freshness. Though the standard market weight of a dozen eggs is "A ounces, eggs weighing 2S ounces are preferred in the show room.

AUSTRIANS ARE REPORTED TO BE
 SHORT OF FOOD

Paris, Sept. 5-Hundreds of starv- ing Austrians in the capital city of Vienna recently surrounded a train on which a party of Rumanians were travelling to France and begged pit eously for bread. according to the Ru- manians who have now arrived here.
 The party asking for food gathered about the train in the Hitzing quarter of Vienna where some of the most welI-to-do people of Vienna live, said Captain R. Rosetti of the Rumanian army. They told the Rumanians that turnips, beets and potatoes constitute almost the only food of a large part of the population of Austria.
 There were more than 300 men, women and children in the party that surrounded the train, said Colonel Ro- setti, and almost everyone expressed horror at the continuance of the war and bitterly reproached Germany for the desperate plight in which they found themselves.
 Their faces were pinched and pale and showed unnistakably that they had borne intense privations and suf- fering. Several among the number declared there must be soon be a widespread revolution in Austria if steps were not taken to feed the popu lation.
 Colonel Rossetti offered one of those who sought help 10 crowns. The money was declined in the ground that no food could be bought for it. The Austrian, who in peace times, was a prosperous storekeeper, pleaded for bread for his children, whom he said had nothing to eat for three weeks except turnips and beets.
 The German colonel in charge of the train was so annoyed at the cries of the hungry crowd, that he gave orders to have the train moved for ward at once to another part of the city.
 Ali passengers on the train had to submit to a rigid search by the Aus trian authorities no one was permitted to carry a single scrap of paper. Madame Titelescu, and several other women passengers, were temporarily deprived of all their clothing and a minute examination made of their perons for the purpose of detecting any secret information they might be carrying from Rumania to France.

to the Aisne.
 Our farthest advance patrols are re- ported to have reached the south bank of the canal. The Fifth Prus- sian Guards are resisting on the line Monrival-Romain.
 On both sides of Peronne, east of the Somme and the Canal-du-Nord, the British are approaching the high ground between Athies and Nurlu, Field Marshal Haig announced in his bulletin last night.
 Further headway was made by the British north of Equancourt, north east of Peronne. South of Marquion (six and a half miles northwest of Cambra) the British have reached the east bank of the Canal-du- -Nord.
 In Flanders the British-American lines were advanced southeast of Nieppe and northeast of Wulverghen.
 The Canal-du-Norde and the adja- cent waterways are the scene of the main fighting on the British battle front. The enemy made a stubborn stand there, but his desperate effort to check the British push to. Douai land Ctmbrai availed him nothing.
 He had massed machine guns in great number and a powerful array of artillery on the eastern bank of the canal, but the advancing khaki columns defied the fire and crossed the canal at several points, capturing villages and strong salients on the en- emy's side of the canal. The German | losses in this region have been heavy | English and New Zealand divisions captured Ruyaulcourt, on the east side, and in close quarter fighting drove the emeny from the northwest ern conrer of Havruncourt Woods, a broad forest, just north of Metz-en- Couture.
 The Germans are strongly en- trenched in these woods, which bris- tie with machine guns. English and New Zealand units a little to the south cleared out the enemy from the west side of the canal, while the units above have reached the waters edge opposite Demicourt and Boursies. l English troops operating south o1 the Havrincourt Woods then crossed the Tortille river and the Canal-du- Nocd, entering ManancouTt and Etri- court Should Hevrincourt be carried the British would be within sight of the main Hendenburg defence works. l The prisoners taken since Sept. 1 number 17,000 The British First Army has captured SO guns within the last three days.

raids formed part of a system of wireless communication by which U- Boats at sea were kept informed not only as to the movements of troop ships and war vessels, put as to the various activities around naval bases and the workings of the munition plants.
 The discovery of the plants in Bridgeport has caused a furry up and down the coast on both sides of Long Island Sound, and 1t would not be a surprising fact to the government men if other plants were discovered in the vicinity of New London and Provi- dence.
 All the firearms taken in, the raid today were fully loaded and were of a make which showed they were meant to be used with deadly effect.
 The two wireless plants seize are now in possession of the Army Intel 1igence Bureau as well as all papers telescopes and firearms. The e@2F dence taken will according to the fed era1 authorities, be the means of the richest hauls of Hun agents in the history of spy hunting around Bridgeport.

London, Sept. 6.---The Germans are in full retreat along the 30mile front from Clamecy, north of Soissons, to the western approaches of Rheims. Between the Vesle and the Aisne they are closely pursued by the Americans. The latter already have reached the Aisne in the river angle east of Sois- sons. The bulk of the Crown Princes S forces are now back across the Aisne. In their pursuit the Americans are encountering stubborn rear-guard re- sistance, consisting mainly of machine gun nests.
 F'ranco-American forces late yester- day were reported south of Vailly- sur-Aisne, eight miles northeast of Soissons, and two and a half miles south of the slopes of the Chemin-des Danes.
 Late battlefront dispatches report General Berthelot's Rheims army to have been swung into action. The Vesle-Aisne retreat may presently af- feet the German Champagne army. The summit of the dominating pla- teau north of the Vesle is in Amerf- can hands.
 1 Meanwhile the French and British are breaking down the German stop gap line east of the Canal-du- -Nord and the Somme.
 The French are driving hard and fast on Le Fere and St. Quentin, while the | British are sweeping down from the northwest upon the river bulwark in the German main defences, at the same time maintaining their pressure toward Cambrai and Douai. In Han ders the British and American forces have made further progress.
 Chauny, the last important town be- fore La Fere is reached, is said tc have been abandoned by the Teu. tons. It lies half way between Noyor and La Fere.
 Further north, east Of Nesle, the French have made new crossings ot the Canal-du- Norde and are now only two miles northwest of Ham at one point and four miles southeast of Han at another.
 i Thirty-nine German machines were brought down by the British yester. day, the War Office announced las night. The British themselves lost | machines Nine hostile balloons were sent down in flames. Twenty-three tons of bombs were dropped on Ger.
 man targets.
 The French and Americans have crossed the plateau north of the Veslt
 and have reached the ravines leading
