The outstanding results on land are these: The greater part of Belgium is under the control of Germany. Germany has been driven from the far east. A ‘part of the Dardanelles is in the possession of the allied troops. Part of France and Russia are in the possession of German troops. A small strip. of Alnnoe has beén taken from Germany.

The greater portions of the German and allied fleets in the North sea re- main intact. Exoept for communication through Holland and the Scandinavian nations, Gor::;any is cut off from the rest of the world. Efforts on the part of the Germans to.place the British isles in a similar predicament have resulted in the sink- ing by submarines of hundreds of ves- sels flying the flags of the allied and neutral nations. The sinking in this manner of the Cunard liner Lusitania with the loss of more than 100 American lives precipi- tated a request upon the part of the United States that such practices, in 80 far aé they might menace Ameri- cans, be stopped. The First Land Operations. By Aug. 17 the first British expedi- tionary force had completed its land- ing in France, and on that day there began also a flerce battle on the Jadar between the Austrian and Servian troops. Victory was with thé Servian arms after five days of fighting, and the Austrians were routed. In the meanwhile the battle of Lor- raine had opened, and the German troops had entered Brussels, the Bel- glan capital, A few days later, Aug. 23, the victori- ous Gérmans entéred Namur and be- gan an attack on Mons, defended prin- cipally by the first British expedition- ary force. The next day the British troops .began a retreat from their po- sition, arid from then on until Sept. 12 the German troops drove through France under the leadership of General \ “FIRST LADY” OF THE LAND + '3 by appointment of Y duveri Lansing as secres tary of state the figure of Mrs. Lansing looms large ‘hofizon of Washington, the premier, is ex nt personage, and in this instance, as Mrs. | # 8 bit of a personage in her of John W.

A vietory at Krasnfk was announced by the Austrian govérnment on Aug. 23, while on Aug. 29 the German army un- der General von Hindenburg defeated another Russian force at Tannenberg. Part of Louvain was burned by Ger- mans on the same day that the Japa- nese blockade of Tsingtao was begun. The blockade was maintained more than two months before Tsingtao sur- rendered. Two days after the French govern- ment moved to Bordeaux the battle of the Marne was begun, a few hours be- fsre Russian troops succeeded in oc- cupying Lemberg, the capital of Gali- cia.

August the Greatest of All Vacation Montl HEN you live in a big city the problem of how you ape going to pass the month of August-—the most disagreeable in the year usually— looms large. It is the big vacation month of the year, and everybody yearns for the country, the shady nooks, the fresh aif and the absolute change in environment, surroundings and conditions. The change and re- laxation really constitute the vacation. So everybody who i8 able takes a rest. But think of those in the city who are not able, who live in the slums and never get away from thé tall tene- ments and ugly walls which cut off all the breeze! Are they forgotten? Not by any means. In almost every city there exist or- ganizations -which have been formed for the very purpose of caring tor the mothers and children. Nearly every city has a camp for the bables where they are given plenty of good whole- some food, plenty of fresh air, s¢ientific care and are converted into entirely difrerent children. This charity has grown in leaps and bounds, and peo- ple are devoting as much attention to caring for the children in the hot months as they do in the cold. Notable among such organizations is one conducted by a New York néwspa- per, which daily gives thousands of tons of ice to the poor. One man do- nates ten tons to this fund' each day. The churches, the Young Men’s and Young Women's Christian associations conduct camps for the youngsters, and each year sees the work carried on in a bigger manner. But those who love their vacations most of all are the girls who earn their own living. Their number is increas- ing with great rapidity in every city, and they look forward for eleven months to their annual outings. Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of the late financier, realized the difficulties faced by the great army of New York working girls and set about to remove them. 8he has succeeded in an ad- mirable manner. She wanted to give these girls the chance to have the best time on their available funds. Camp Inkowa is the result. It is a beautiful spot where the self supporting young woman may go for a blissful two weeks, more or less, pro- vided she can pay the sum of $8 a week for her board, her lodging and a good time, in which no element of con- descension or gratitude is mingled. Each girl who has been able to save a few dollars desires to g0 somewhere into the country and get all those things which are otherwise impossible for them. Some like to g6 to populous beaches where there is continual ex- citement to be had. Others dread the idea of going to small hotels and un- attractive boarding houses which bring Photos by American Press Association. 1~—Boys in New York strests. 2.—Typ. ical slum scene. 3.~In the fresh air. 4, 5 and 6~~Trying to keep cool. 7.~Miss Anne Morgan. And theése are the ones who desire to &et out into the real country, “to throw off the iron bands of city restraint and conventionality; to realize that one is free, a human being with a soul to ex- press; to feel and yield to the impuise little rest and no change to their jaded nerves. to dance and shout for joy; to view new scenes, to meet new people,” quot- R ot sy it om0 S, s ing from Miss Morgan’'s camp bookiet.
