In thirteen days the Russians have taken prisoner almost 170,000 men and have captured immense stores of war booty, says the Russian war office. Battles southeast of Lutsk, between Kozin and Tarnovka and northwest of Buczacz have brought furtheg suc- cesses to the Russian arms, I an action on the Bluichevka river, south- east of Lutsk more than men were captured after the attacking Russians had forded the river. . Take 6,000 Captives. The fighting continues northwest of Buczacz, where the Germans are co- operating with the Austrians, but the . Russians report the capture here thus far of 6,000 men from the Teutons. Attempts of the Austrians and Ger- mans to take the offensive on many! sectors of the long front were re- ulsed, according to Petrograd. The ussian war office also chronicles the repulse of attacks in the region of Sokul, southeast of Kovel, one of the objectives of the present Russian drives. Berlin reports the capture of 400 Russians during an attack on a German position north of Przewloka. Around Verdun the French and German armies were inactive during _the day, there having been only inter- ‘mittent bombardments. Paris says it has been confirmed that the French attack of Thursday on the slope south of Le Mort Homme resulted in the capture of German trenches on a front of about two-thirds of a mile.

HAPPENINGS IN THE MAGIC CITY First Group of Armour Girls Leave Today for Camp at King's Lake. WHOLE FORCE TO HAVE OUTING best time!” v So exclaimed two or three of the first group of Armour girls who will participate in a one week's vacation, expenses all paid, at Camp Howe, King’s lake. The party will leave this morning at 7:30 o'clock in two big touring cars furnished by the com- pany. Howard, Orchard, timekeeper at the plant, has charge of the ar- rangements. Swimming, fishing, woods explor- ing, most anything that comes with a real up-to-date camp, will be on the schedule of the packing house girls. No expense has been spared by the company to make the trip the most delightful possible. Each week a bunch of twelve girla will be dis- patched to spend seven days. Auto- mobiles will be used in each case if the weather permits. Living at the camp will be in house tents, 10x12 feet, with boarded floors. In each tent are two beds, a small dresser and a couple of chairs. Every- thinf that would go to make up the ideal camping outfit is provided. %ish- ing tackle, bathing suitg and all other putdoor accessories are also furnished, Last year not all of the girls at the plant would make the trip for no other reason than, as General Man- ager R. C. Howe of the plant explains, “they couldn’t sée why Armour & Co should give them something for noth- ing.” But this year it is difsferent. Ac- cording to reports, all but one girl at the plant are enthusiastically looking forward to the excursion and that one holds back because of good reason, * The camp is placed in charge of a woman expert, Mrs. H. Hudson of Omaha, who chaperons the girls, teaches them to cook, milk cows and other things domestic. Three daugh- ters of Mr. King, who owns the land and the lake ground, are adept at swimming and usually teach the visit- ors how to swim if they do not know. It is estimated that lOEy girls will go weeks to complete the schedule.

Next September she will be principal of Lothrop school, succeeding Mrs. Nora H. Lemon, re- tired. e During her long service in Web- ster school Miss Pittman has, to use an old saying, “sawed wood and said little.” Her greatest aversion has been publicity and her greatest de- sire has been to get results in the schoolroom. She has refused to al- low any distractions or fads to be introduced. Such added attractions as dandelion pulling contests for ice cream found no place in the Web- ster school. .

The youngsters were “flipping” cars when Mr. Jeffers, who was in the yards that day, spied them crawling around in dangerous places.
