PAGE TWO Servian Women Shoot; Chijldren Throw Bombs Rotterdam, Sept. 30.—An Aus- trian captain, wounded in the battle of Sjabats, is quoted in The Bohemia, a newspaper pub- lished at Prague, in part as fou- lows: “The Servian infantry is very brave, but does not shoot as well as it might. The good shots the Servians have are the Komitadje irregulars, who , concealed in the foliage of bushes and trees make a specialty of shooting down the Austrian officers. “The Servian artillery is ex- cellent, accounted for in part by the cicumstance that fighting in its own country it is fully famil- iar with the terrain. As a result their range is good, all the more so since they are given by the natives information which we cannot get, of course. General- ly the direction of advance of our army is given by the Ser- vians peasants to the army by the lighting of great straw fires. In the sepulchre under the church in Sjabats we found a station with wires running to the various Servian headquarters. “But the Servian soldiers are brave. Some of their tactics are peculiar. Now and then num- bers of them permit themselves telephone to be made prisoners of war for, the mere purpose of supporting a plan of ambush. Cases, too, have been known in which pris- oners of war made attacks on our men with hand grenades concealed by them. The con- fusion resulted from this has in many instances resulted in the escape of the prisoners. “We have found that women fight us with rifles, while even children are employed to throw bombs. A twelve-year-old girl, who was shot through the legs, and was taken into the hospital at Neusatz, 'boasted of having thrown sixteen bombs among Austro-Hungarian troops.” War Brings Innovations In London London, Sept. 30.—The war has brought about two innova- tions in the leading London theatres, a reduction of prices, and the privilege of sitting in the best seats without wearing even- ing dress. The stalls of London houses, which correspond to or- chestra seats in America, are or- dinarily sold at two and half dol- lars, but several of the principal theatres have reduced the price to two dollars. Althought there was no hard and fast 1ule there was a custom which only a few independent people had the te- merity to violate that every oc- cupant of the stalls should wear evening dress. The exceedingly fashionable theatres controlled by Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree and Sir George Alexander were among the first to recognize that war is a time when formalities are at a discount. When people are cutting off their luxuries, and many in {mourning or oppressed with |anxiety for relatives at the front, theatre going suffers a sharp de- icline. In the interests of the many people who depend upon them for a living the managers are doing their best to keep their thouses open. Profit sharing has been adopted by many London and provincial establishments. i Soldiers’ Wounds - Heal Rapidly; Due To Antiseptics [ London, Sept. 30—The rapid- Jity with which the wounds of ,Soldiers are healed ,and the prac- tical absence of blood-poisoning cases, has been a surprise in view of the “deadly effective- \ness” of the modern army weap- ‘ons, “The antiseptic treatment of wounds almost immediately af- ter their infliction has a great deal to do with the fact that cures are effected in such a short time as has been demonstrated in the London hospitals,” said one of the physicians in atten- dance upon the wounded Brit-| ish soldiers. i “While surgery has made wonderful strides in the last de-! cade, the results might have! been different were it not that! ithe antiseptic preventive meas- ures have been applied with the utmost efficiency. “Another very important' reason lies in the fact that the bullet fired from amodern rifle travels with such velocity as to obviate the danger of a ragged wound, and unless a vital organ | lies in the path of it, the recov-| ery presents no over-difficult! problem. —_——— Leeds, Sept. 30.—Lord Char- les Beresford in addressing a recent mass meeting for the purpose of stimulating recruit- ing here said: “The Kiel Canal must be handed over to Den- mark, so it will be useful for the peaceful pursuits of the world.”; When the Kiel canal was opened in 1895 the Emperor of Germany, with representives ofi the leading European powers as' his guests, said: “Germany will range the work inaugurated to-! day on the side of those accom- plished in the service of peace.”; It was regarded as significant that upon the enlargement of, the canal last June, the occasion | was not one of international cel- ebration, although Emperor William attended, and led great fleet of German warships through the canal—which now figures so extensively in the na- val operations as a magnificent refuge for the German, fleet. | German strategists insist that the Kiel canal doubles the pow- er of the German fleet as it gives another entrance from the North Sea to the Baltic an dforces an enemy to scatter its strength in| order to bottle up the German warships. Eight enormous sid- ings have been provided within' the enlarged canal in which' ships may pass. These are so great they are said to be capable of sheltering all the ships, of the German navy. | English strategists assert that the value of the canal has been discounted considerably by the developments of the present war, and declare that it has, if any thing, rendered the German ) DG D IPIUEIIIGDESOS DI D IPAS SIS, QS Sidudd Accuracy Taste, Style DAL SR i 2Ll BERR T L TR Y SR L T WL SRR TR et R TR R R SRR R LR R R SRRl s s s b s S L L b g B T T b FOIQIOIATOIA IO OTOEY BB | WWE)Q?OWS’D%@E@E@E’O@O'5*‘. f ‘the present promises to be record ips’ office will be beset by appli- (@ We can save you money on Wagons.
