made to deal the Russians such a
blow as would not only bring their
armies in the bend of the VistuIa to
standstill Unce and for all, and so
put an end to their offensive, but
crush them decsively.
This would be accomplished. if we
were able to force them back from
Warsaw. If we were too weak to do
this, we must content ourselves with
the lesser result, and even that
would be of great importance.
In November fighting developed as
anticipated. The Russian armies ev-
erywhere started upon the execution
of the great task set them by the
grand duke.
East Prussia Again invaded.
The Sth army found itself at
tackled. Even though it had been de-
pleted of the LIST and 25th reserve
corps, it mare an attempt to hold the
east frontier of East Prussia against
the overwhelming Russian assaults
but it was not able to do so perma-
nently, Toward the middle of No
vember we withdrew it to the Masu-
rian lakes River Angerapp position.
Thus the eastern part of East Prus-
STA was once more exposed to Rus
sian invasion. A period of great suf-
fering as in store for it, but. although
this was to be foreseen, the reduction
of the Sth army was necessary evil
! The Russians followed close upon
| their heels and also attacked them in
| their new positions. In spite of all
, this we decided to bring the LIST infan-
| try division of the 9th. army up to join
the fighting west of the Vistula We
staked much in order to attain our
| objective at this most important
| point.
Zastrow's corps was assailed in its
! positions between Mlawa and Prasnys2

| forced to retire to the Soldau-Neiden-
| burg line. Here the advance of the
enemy was checked after heavy fight

| Vistula seemed gravely imperilled
and West Prussia. in particular, was
| Immediately threatened, but Zastrow' {
corps did its duty. We lived through
many an anxious hour in Posen, but

WOMEN AGAINST STRIKE


The wives of coal miners around
Trinidad are having a say--and it Is
right that they should-as to whether
their homes are to he deprived Of the
things wages buy, The Trinidad
Chronicle Of Monday said of the strike
ballot being taken in that vicinity:
The total votes counted up to last
night indicate that $500 coal miners
OF the Trinidad district have voted
not to strike. When 1t is considered
that in every case where vote was
taken, the wives of the miners nave
been allowed to vote. and mat IN
yaraUly these ladies' have voted al
most solidly against the strike, the
foregoing shows what an overWhelm-
Ing sentiment against the strike IN
this district.
The only camp in the entire district
to cast a majority in favor OF the
strike was Morley. Here 80 men ana
three women, a total OF l02, voted IN
favor of the strike, while 90 men ana
q women "a total of "a, were against
the strike. At Berwind 1872 men ana
"A women voted against the strike.
total Of 1876, while 81 men and TWO
women. a total Of 81, voted in favor
of the strike. Total result shows
three to one majority against the
strike. In some camps the vote mas
been as high as Is to one against the
strike.
Very bad condition led up to one
strike and these, in part at least. nave
been remedied by the Rockefeller
plan of industrial representation
whether or not that be as good for the
employees as control by unions. And
wages are very much higher tnan
formedly. 1t is probable few Of the
miners in the Trinidad district hold
union cards and it is also likely that
the most of such holders are voting
against striking in camps where the
majority vote not to deprive them
selves of wages in order 10 stand by
the eastern unionized districts. The
plan adopted by the Colorado COM
munities to let the household partners
ioin in a decision vital to the family
has its merits.
The United Mine Workers of AM
erica made a contract with the Ma
tional Coal association, and the agree
ment was approved by the govern
ment, not to strike during the war
and fixed scale of wages and hours
was arranged. The coal association
claims the contract should hold until
Il peace treaty is signed. But the
United Mine Workers decline TO &C
cept that view. The minc owners say
that new conditions demanded would
add one million dollars a year to the
cost of mining coal, reduce the output
and the public would be obliged 10
stand the raise, as well as suffer.
The demands of the miners the coal
association sums Up as follows:
Sixty per cent increase in wages
and a six-hour day from the time
they enter the mine until they leave
it and d five-day week. The present
scale calls for an eight-hour day in
the working place and a siX-day week
A six-hour day from the time of en-
tering the mine until leaving means
approximately five hours in the work
ing places. Thus the demand for
shorter hours means an actual reduc-
ton from forty-eight hours a week
the present schedule, to about twenty
five hours week. Working hours
would be cut almost in half"

THE BARBER HAS GOT TO LIVE,
AMT He?

Up to some two years ago, OF about
the time the U. S. got mixed up in
the big scrap, the price of shave
was fifteen cents and hair cut was 35
cents. Shortly after the war began
the railroad men asked and received
an advance in their wages, which
started an advance all along the line,
which was shortly after followed by
an advance in freight and passenger
rates, which was again followed by
an advance in the price of commod-
tiles. For two years and half now
it has been a race between labor and
capital to see which could raise the
most and oftenest, until we poor devils
who have neither labor to sell nor
capital to squeeze are between the
devil and the deep azure sea. The
barber men have tried to recoup on
the high cost of living by raising
their prices. A shave went up to rs
cents and haircut to first 40 then
SO cents, and now, because so many
patrons have bought safety razors
and gone to shaving themselves, and
only have their hair cut once in three
OF four months, in order to get even,
and take in enough of the needful to
keep the pot boiling they propose to
raise the price of shave to so cents
and a haircut to rs and say if the
public don't come thru they will raise
the price again, and keep on raising
until they come across. What they
should do is to form a combine and
refuse to support any man for office
who refuses to get shaved in barber
shop or patronizes a sheep shearer
when his hair needs cutting. In
these piping times man can not wait
for things to come to him. He has
to go out in the highway and byway
and drag them in. See!

THE STRIKE SITUATION

From southern California the strike
has spread to northern California and
the end is not in sight. The heads
of the four brotherhoods have issued
orders to the local unions to return
to work, but so far the men have re-
fused to obey. Whether they realize
that they are bringing their organ
izations into contempt and making a
mockery of labor organizations in
general, it is nevertheless true. They
are playing into the hands of the COM
panieswhich must finally result in dis
aster. The members will them
selves become Disguised. One en-
gineman here remarked, GLOW can we
expect the membership to obey any
law if they will not obey their own
self made laws" How can we hope
that the public will have any respect
for our unions when we do not respect
them ourselves. The men are sim
ply fools"
1t is limited in the news that the
grand officers have privately given
orders to the men to remain on strike,
while publicly they are, or seem to be,
trying to prevent the men from going
on strike. This would be still worse
if true. We do not believe, however,
that men holding responsible positions
as they are, would be so foolish as to
deal double with the public. We
prefer to believe that the men are led
by few radicals with Bolshevik
ideas of bringing on a revolution, just
as those foolish radicals did in Sc
attic last spring.

LACK OF THRIFT INDICATES
LACK OF CHARACTER

Explained in the simplest way
Thrift" is saving and judicious in
vestment. He who lacks thrift lacks
character. Thrift can be cultivated
just as any other virtue can be culti-
waited. You cultivate shiftlessness
which is the opposite of thrift, by the
careless habit of spending your money
without due thought for something
you do not need and could well get
along without Too often men COM
plain at the success of their fellows
when a little self examination would
convince them that equal success
might have been theirs if they had
adopted the habits of him whom they
envy. The following from the Thrift
magazine is we'll worth perusal.
"Sheer lack of thrift has caused
more financial failures than anything
else. How many men there are are
today who might have become wealthy
had they only known how to save
money! During the course of their
careers they have earned large sums,
but these have slipped from their
fingers from day to day. They had
the natural gift of making money,
just as their successful rivals, but
they lacked the quality of permanent
success-which is thrift.
Although the ability to make money
is, to a considerable extent, matter
of natural aptitude, the still more i'm
portant accomplishments of thrift
can be acquired by anyone. There is
no excuse for not saving money.
Thriftlessness is an indication of
weakness. 1t is indecision of char
acter.
Thrift requires steadfastness and
the marshalling of the last ounce of
moral strength that we possess. But
it does not require any special genius
or brilliant gift of mind.
1t is within the power of every man
and woman to thrive thru the cult
walton of prudent habits. Practices
of thrift do not bring a guarantee of
great wealth. But they are an alb
solute assurance of modest success
and a never failing protection against
complete failure and poverty.
The primary value of thrift lies in
the fact that thru it we secure full
advantage of the little things.
Those who are thriftless in money
matters do not, as a rule, dissipate
their resources in large amounts.

PEACE PRIZE TO ROOSEVELT

That a man may advocate train
ing armies and going to war as the
best means of promoting the peace of
the world was Illustrated in award
ing to Theodore Roosevelt in 1915 the
Nobel Peace prize by an international
commission because he had done most
to promote the peace of the world for
the previous five years.
Many people are wont to regard
Roosevelt as a man who believed in
war because he advocated prepare
ton for war, and President Wilson
as a man who is too proud too fight
and opposed to war. No man of
whom we can just now think, so fully
illustrates the value of a practical
slant in human nature as Theodore
Roosevelt, Roosevelt was an ideal
list without a doubt, but his idealism
was directed along practical lines. He
realized that in this sinful old world
pure idealism has no place, until its
inhabitants approach the heavenly
condition. No one doubts now that
if the United states had trained a
half million men for fighting when the
great war broke out, as Roosevelt adj
vocated, that this country would have
gotten into the war or, finally
forced in by the menace of Ger
man success to our integrity,
the csot in life and treasure would
have been less appalling. With
his practical mind Roosevelt saw. as a
seer that the most effective way to
promote the peace of the world was
to give Germany "a hell of lickin',"
Buck Fanshaw was a man of peace,
He loved peace so well, said Mark
Twain, that on one occasion he knock
ed down ten men to stop riot. 1t
was a time for action rather than
preaching the beauties of peace, and
he got immediate results. China is
too proud or too something to fight.
Does anyone want to Chinafy this
country? Does any sane man believe
that the best interests of the peo-
pie of this world would be served by
placing the United States in a class
with China? Slothful, ignoble peace
is vastly worse than war or preparing
for war. President Wilson was
reared in the clustered, peaceful at
mosphere of the schoolroom and col
lege, where it is the custom to teach
the virtues of peace unadulterated
with practically AS national
slogan "Act justly but carry a big
stick" will get us farther on the road
to national righteousness than we
are too proud to fight" 1t is also
worth remembering that when the
$4,000 prize money was handed to
Roosevelt he Immediately turned the
check over to the Red Cross, tho him
self by no means a rich man.

THE LEAvENWoRTH ECHO

The processes OF waste are going on
constantly, however, in the way of UNI
necessary or ill-advised spending.
On the other hand thrift consists of
saving by small degrees.
A point often overlooked is that a
few years of thrifty habits will place
one in a financial position where he
can enjoy many of life's wholesome
pleasures, whereas continual thrift
lessness yields only inadequate and
superficial pleasure.

"STILL HARPING ON MY DAUGH.

The president makes us think of
what Polonius said of Hamlet. He
must talk about his League of Ma
tons in season and out of season. We
can endure "hobbys" in ordinary NOR
tails, but for the president of the
United States to ride a hobby shocks
our sense of proprieties. His con-
slant reference to this one subject
has doubtless had the effect of dis
crediting it in the minds of some peo-
pie. AS a wholly creditable PROPOSE
