City Salary Increases
Have to Run Gauntlet
of State Commissions

Provisions were made in the city
budget for 1920 for increases in sala-
ries of number of city officials, which
if they are able to run the gauntlet,
can be made by city ordinance the
first Of the year
The levies will have to pass the
state board of tax commissioners. and
if gets by these, must go before the
state board Of accounts, before the
city council can make an ordinance.
Some CT the proposed increases are:
Street commissioner from $1,000 to
$500; assistant city civil engineer,
from $1,000 to 1890; city building
inspector, from $1,000 to 1890; mar
ket-master from 81 900 to 1900; san
itary inspector, from $40 to $1100;
superintendent of creamatory, from
$40 to $1,000: dairy inspector. from
$1,000 to $1,000; meat inspector, from
81, 100 to 81 200.
Although the fall of the city tax
levy from s1.21 to 70 cents is a large
decrease, there is little difference be-
cause of the big increase in valua-
lions under the new Indiana Tax Law,
made effective by the last state legis-
lature, says city officials.

steak was paid at Circle City. Alaska.

AMERICAN NURSES ii
STAY AT POST IN
FACE OF MASSACRE

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept 1.-Two
American nurses, Miss Margaret Mack
OF Hillburn, n. Y, and Miss Ruth
Stuart of New York City, working for
the American Commission for Relief
in the Near East, declined to abandon
the sick and wounded at Shusha, Ar
menia, after having themselves sur
vived a massacre by Tartars of 700
of the Christian inhabitants OF the
town. according to a letter just re-
ceived here by Major David G. Arm.
old of Providence, r. l.. director of
the Commission. The letter read:
Our doctor and nurses were in the
midst of the fight but were unframed.
On advice from General Beach I re
called the two nurses. They came re
luctantly and begged to remain a.
their station as there was an urgent
need for them among the survivors.
The spirit Miss Mack and Miss Stuart
have shown has been splendid and I
felt that they should be allowed TO
return IL they went as volunteers, I'M
Outstanding the serious situation.
They signed papers to the effect that
they knew the danger and that they
were returning to their work at their
own request"

the German Czarina, for days kept in
active an army of 100000 men, only
two days march eastward from the
battlefield of Tennenberg, where Lu-

from before him and used these forces
to annihilate Samsonoff For his
treachery afterward, in delaying an
attack on Mackensen when that gen
eral was trapped in front of Warsaw.
Rennenkampf was dismissed from his
command in disgrace
Ludendorff plainly admits that, ex-
cept for Rennenkappf's inactivity on
these two occasions, the German army
might have been smashed in 1914, ind
that the war might have ended
quickly.
How his successes in the east led
to his command of the entire German
army, how he organized the entire ma
ton to back it up, and how finally he
arranged it's forces and his vast ar
tillery surprises for the great often

which he furnishes answers to much
that has puzzled not only military
men, but the world at large.
