BABIES STARVE IN THE STREETS

Neutral Traveler Paints Harrowing Picture of Pitiful Con-, ditions in Vienna. ONLY THE WEALTHY GET FOOD and Children Succumb to Hun§tetand Want—Gloom and on People. London.—From a \eutral who has spent prolonged periods in AustriaHungary several time* since the war a Berne corresponded learns that never has the AustriaAcapital been in such a plight as now. \ftlen, women and even children succumbed to hunger and waut, and he is asstired that children have been literally dying in the streets. Nowhere Is there enough to eat, he says, except among the wealthy classes and the well-to-do farmers. The organization for the distribution of provisions is wretched, despite the fact that a “People’s Food Office” has existed in Vicuna since December 1 last. According to the organ of the Wholesale Purchasing Association of Austrian Consumers’ associations, prices have risen, taking Austria as a whole, by 104.67 per cent since the war began, but in Vienna proportionately far more. It is not merely that all necessities have become so exceedingly expensive, but that they are not procurable. The few who have money still contrive to purchase enough, but the great majority who have not money either go constantly hungry or depend on public kitchens, which since their creation have supplied the poorer classes in Vienna alone with 38,253,815 meals, at a total cost of about $2,165,000. 474,300 Dependents. At the end of 1910 there were also, in Vienna alone, 474,300 persons in receipt of government relief —grants of assistance —in other words, about one in four of the entire population of the Austrian capital. These government grants since the start of the war until the end of last year had reached the sura of $50,000,000, besides which there is a large number of destitute refugees in Vienna who have cost the State since the war began $11,625,000. And yet the burgermeister of Vienna has just been warning the public that they must be prepared for worse times still to come in the next two months. The clothing question, especially the problem of how to provide any kind ■of'boots or shoes,“is utmost as “difficult’ of solution as the food question. Actresses and others, who before the war went about in elegant fanciful shoes, now are glad to wear any castoff footgear, or even clothing, they can get, as also are many girls and women earning their living in offices. Even more acute is the fuel question in Austria-Hungary. The gloom and depression of Vienna, in short, with its restricted train service, restricted electric lighting — even in private houses —limited gas consumption and, worst of all, restrict-

PRINCESSES OF THE BLOOD

Not so long ago the ancestors of these two real American women were •lords of great sections of New England that the white man wrested from them. They are the Indian pri n cesses, Wooutoonekanuske and Teeweelema, otherwise known as Charlotte and Melinda Mitchell, and are direct descendants of the great Indian chief, Massasoit. Just now the two ladies are more or less in the public eye for belated appreciation of the goodness ot‘ the ancient chieftain to the Plymouth settlers Is being considered in the legislature th rough a bill .to pension these, the last of his descendants. The princesses are now living near Middleboro, Mass. They are respectively seventy-one and eighty-ode years .old.

cd heating, with a degree of cold seldom experienced, is so distressing that the neutral .who tells this story said if he had not been able to leave he would have lost his reason. The public and private, are all overfilled, and death Is reaping proportionately as great a harvest among, the civilian populatloa_JUk among the soldiers at.the front. ... In Vienna, and, indeed, in all the larger Austrian cities, there are now large numbers of houses and business premises to let. Moreover, as little removing as possible is done, because this has become so costly owing to the shortage of labor, of vans and of horses. In many cases young married women have returned to live with their parents, or several women friends have clubbed together to take a flat or house. It is not dwellings alone, however, which are everywhere to let, but rows of business premises, shops, etc., also are standing empty. The fifth Austrian war loan, which was to have closed on January 10 last, and which before that date was announced as so brilliant a financial success, has not yet been closed, and the hanks in Switzerland are being inundated with circulars, some of them marked “confidential,” and issued by the Vienna Banking association, offering all manners of inducements to the Swiss fly to Walk into the Austrian spider’s parlor. There is not a single Swiss managed bank in Switzerland which lias been tempted by these reiterated offers of Austrian war loan stock. —Austria, as a matter of fact," is already bankrupt. Her government does not allow any money to leave the country, even to pay for goods purchased in Switzerland since the war.

BATTLE STOPPED BY LITTLE BABY

Mysteriously Appears Crawling Between Lines Where Fierce Fight ts Raging. IS RESCUED DY A GERMAN Soldiers Forget They Are Enemies and Cease Slaughtering Each Other While Prussian Carries Infant to Safety. New York.—Edgar von SchmidtPittTll.’a Prussiinrvftvairy rrfticer, wher is on the western front, has written for the German newspapers the following remarkable incident which he and his men witnessed recently: “Donnerwetter what a hellish noise!. About me shqlls are bursting and all around me is the rat-tat-tat of machine guns. “It is just before dawn, and the fog is so thick that one can scarcely see a yard ahead. All we know is that our troops during the night stormed and captured the French village over yonder. I want to see how our left wing is situated, and therefore ride to the village where the enemy’s bullets are falling as thick as hailstones during a heavy thunderstorm. The fog continues thick, but it is not cold. “I find a shelter where other cavalrymen are taking a little -rest and at once proceed to get some needed sleep myself, ordering the lieutenant to rouse me in case of necessity. —xr “Suddenly I am awakened by a peculiar. uncomfortable stillness —as is the case often where a sleeper is awakened either by a sudden noise or the cessation of noise.

Baby in Battlefield. “As I emerge from the dugout the lieutenant winks at me somewhat mischievously and points directly in front of him. Carefully I raise my head oyer—the top of the trench to get a view of things.—l "The sun had risen and the fog had disappeared. In front of us is a meadow, ami there, midway between otir trenches and those of the enemy, is—God, it is imposible; it must be a delusion'! —a Fata Morgana; but no — there in the middle of the field, crawl* Ing on hands and knees, is a little child, a happy and contented, and seems to be enjoying itself. Not a sound is tohe heard. not a shot is fired. Every man has become dumb from amazement. “ ‘A child has fallen from heaven!’ cries a soldier near me. "Well, that is about the case, for where else could that child have come from ? v “Before my weary brain can summon up any convincing reasons how that child got out there —whether some poor mother lost it in the panic due to the battle of the night before —a German soldier jumps out of the trepch “arid Tuns; to’wheW the child is crawling about. Absolute stillness prevails in the trenches, and only to our right, from which this extraordinary sight is hidden by a clump of trees, is the sound of gunfire heard. . 4 Like Peaceful Island. “And this spot, which all through the night had been a veritable inferno of shot and shell, ia now like some peace* ful Island or a cool, friendly oasis in a burning desert. ■"Over there in the enemy’s trenches we can see the helmets of the Frenchmen as they peer over the edges.

GIRL NOW BOARDING OFFICER ON COAST

Miss Elizabeth Clark, .young and pretty, has established herself as the pioneer woman boarding officer of the immigration service. Here are some of the things she has to do: .. s.— —■- * Board incoming foreign vessels In every kind of weather, from sunrise to sunset, arising at 3 a. a during the summer months.

RUSSIA BUYS AMERICAN BOAT

Lake Steamer Nevada Will Wend Its Way Eastward When Navigagation Opens. Manitowoc, Wis. The Goodrich steamer Nevada, soon after the opening of navigation, will wend its way eastward, down through the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic seaboard, there to take on cargo for a Russian port. M. Seekleshoff of Petrograd, representing the Russian government, purchased the Nevada from the Goodrich company, the price is said to have been approximately $750,000. The Nevada was built here in 1915, is entirely of steel, 212 feet long, and can attain a speed of 18 knots ah hour. The craft cost the' Goodrich company $275,000, although it could not be duplicated today for that figure.

one is any longer thinking of the enemy or the war, or of danger. All eyes are on the tall soldier and the child which he is approaching. As he up that little frightened, helpless bit of humanity and fondly takes rt in his arms, a laugh, a low, friendly laugh, passes along our entire column. The laugh is infectious, and we can feel how it is going along the ranks over yonder. And suddenly—what, are they going to shoot? —no, on the contrary, a great wave of applause with shouts of ‘Bravo!’ from thousands of French throats break the stillness. Then, as the soldier jumps back into our trench with the eiuM-safety io his nrmsroiH* ranks, too, burst into a triumphant shout which passes all along the line. “Even for some time after not a shot is fired. It is as If we felt ahained of ourselves, and no one touched a gun whtie thnt ehtld ’Was In unr midst. “When the firing did start again it was rather desultory and indifferent, and there was nothing dangerous about it. That little child had worked a wonderful change in the hearts of both friend and foe that morning.”

PROUD OF 19-CENT TUBERS

Pennsylvania Farmer Who Minimized Potato Cost, Produces Some Real Whoppers. Doyl cs to wft Pa v —Farm-w* Ed ward; Chittick of Plumstead towmnilp, who raised 269 bushels of potatoes on an acre of ground at 1!) cenu « bushel, brought some real “taters” to tne county seat of Bucks, exhibiting “Murphys” that averaged a pound each, to show what kind he rajsed —and they were whoppers. Thirty-one potatoes filled a half, bushel basket heaping full. One after another a dozen were measured, and they were fairly uniform in length. Most of them measured six inches across. They weighed about a pound apiece, and Mr. Chittick says he had some that tipped the scales at one and three-quarters pounds. Mr. Chittick admits that he may have been a little low in some of his expense items; but it was very little. He did nearly all the work himself, and consequently the cost, was less than if he had to hire the kind of labor most farmers must. The United States survey figures, he says, show that he was not much too low on his labor cost. As for cutting, potatoes, he says he can cut ten bushels w ; ith a knife in half a day; but he keeps right down to business.

CLIMB OF SOUTHPAWS

Work of Left-Handers Marks Development of Baseball. Babe Ruth of Boston and Fertile Schupp of New York Were Most Effective Pitchers in Their Re- ' spective Leagues. Babe Ruth of the Red Sox and Ferdle Schupp of the Giants were the most effective pitchers in their respective leagues during the past Season, and both of them are left-handers. This is one of the things that marks the development of baseball. In the early days of the game a southpaw was a rare article. The National league was organized in 1876, and during its first ten years of existence there were, so far as we know, Just about seven good left-hand-ers in fast company. These were Richmond, Baldwin, Shaw, Morris, Casey, Ramsey and Cushman. Today there are ten times that many port-siders on the reserve lists of the two big leagues. No pitching staff is considered complete without at least a couple of good ones. Yet, in 40 years of organized baseball it is probable that not over fifty southpaws really have made good. It is easy to look back and recall most of the better ones since those early days. It is a short list: Breiten-

Babe Ruth.

stein, Esper, Clausen, McGill, White, Altrock, Klobedanz, Hannehill, Lelfeld, Pfeister, Waddell, Wiltse and, of course, that ageless veteran, Eddie Plank. Half of this number were only ordinary pitchers. Three or four of them at most belong in a class with such great righthanders as Keefe, Radbourne, Clarkson, Carruthers, Ging, Ehret, Meekin, Young, Rusie, Nichols, McGinnity, Overall, Donovan, Walsh, Wood, Adams, Coombs, Bender, Mathewson, Johnson and Alexander. Waddell belongs in this class and so does Wiltse, one of the greatest of southpaws and a pitcher who never was given the general recognition he deserved. In the eight years previous to last season only twice did a left-hander top one of the big leagues in the records of the pitchers. In 1908 the lenders were Reulbach and Walsh; in 1009 they were Camnitz and Mullin, and in 1910 they were Cole and Bender. Marquard was the most effective twirler in the National league in 1911, but Covington led Johnson’s; organization. Hendrix and Wood were in front in 1912. Mathewson and Johnson in 1913. In 1914 Leonard was first in the American league and Doak In the National. Alexander and Wood were the leaders in 1915, Marquard and Leonard, therefore, were the only southpaws to lead their leagues in a decade, but things appear to be looking up for the clan. Besides Ruth and Schupp. the big leagues now have such left-handers as “Old Man” I'lank, Marquard, Leonard, Rixey, Sallee, Benton, Coveleski, (hillop, Nehf, Vaughn, Smith, Tyler, Mogridge, Koob, Harper, Russell and Sister.

FIND JOKERS IN “BUSH” RULE

Manager Wolverton Finds Loophole to Carry Pitchers Oldham and Erickson, Former Tigers. The clubs in the Coast league are already having a merry time, finding jokers in the “four-bush6r” rule, writes a San Francisco critic. Harry Wolverton, for example, has it doped out that he can qualify several of his oldtimers even under the rule. The rule provides that there §hall be 14 players on each club, and that in addition thereto the club shall be privileged to carry four men who have not had one full season’s experience in Class AA or major leagues. >’ow it seems there is a joker in this, too. When the managers met with the directors in San Francisco the question was asked as to whether half a season In Class AA and the other half in a major league would disqualify a "’man. , Then and there it was settled that the rule meant one full paying year, either in Class AA or majors. So there you are. And it makes Erickson and Oldham of Wolverton’s Seals both eligible, for they were with Detroit last season, until they Came to the Seals, and havent’ a full year in either league to their credit - / ■.

ENGLISH USE WOODEN SHOES

The Sabot May Come Into Favor in This Country, Too, It Is Predicted. It is not Impossible, as time goes on, that the quotations of the leather market will take second place to those of substitutes for leather, since the increase of such materials Is assuming large proportions. At present the substitutes are combinations of staple jnaterials and by-products, both of which are produced by certain established industries; but more and more the substitute material will become an article of com merce. hence a “market” may result, says the Boston Transcript. It is not assured, even with an increasing use of leather substitutes, that the adoption of “clogs” of wood would not be desirable; the same to be used in both city and country. England is making use of them and many London children are wearing them to and from school, and it has been suggested that the factory workers in Lancashire and Yorkshire might adopt them with advantage. The wooden “sabot” is by no means going out of fashion in England and in Europe, and it is by no’means improbable that an increased use of those solid shoes may continue after the war. The wooden shoe or sabot would be widely used in this country to the comfort of many, rnd the extension of the service of leather or substitute boots. The many chores that the householder Is obliged to do about a suburban or country home necessitate a heavy kind of shoe, and the sabot where tested has proved its worth.
