Soma of the ''Village" Wins Fight for Life New York, Sept. 12.?Greenwich Village, that Bohemian center regarded as a perpetual fountain of mirth, for a time was threatened with its little tragedy, but now the tale has taken a new turn and the happy ending is in sight. A fhw weeks ago Sonia the Cigafette Girl was stricken desperately ill. Heart disease, a hWtags form, the doctors said. s ' _ For wetfes she lay in a hospital ward, pale and wan. And very lonely was Sonia, for she foutfft that hen village friends, the poets and painters who laughed with her and blew smoke rings with her in cellar and garret, had deserted her. On the walls were none of the ga / tapestrlds, the p&tntfftgB and the1 sketches in which she delighted. The sounds which cafnfe -to her wore omnious sounds, lacking the musie and laughter which to her had constituted lifs. 1 Sonia is only in her twenties. Youth rebels at grim hospital walls and white-clad doctors and nurses, with their stethescopes and mysterious charts. But now doctors say that Sonia has won her fight?that soon she will be discharged. Evervone knows Sonia in the Vil lage. In her smock and sandals, she could be Been any day walking bareheaded through the alleys of the Latin Quarter, shaking her bobbed head violently when engaged in arguments over Belles Lettres or the theories of Freud. Sonia?she has a last name but in the Village she is known dirty as Sonia?is a Bohemian. Thousands of out-of-towners who have visited the Village have seen her slipping from table to table in the fantastic tearooms which the Village boasts, carolling the merrymakers into buying a package of her cigar sites. Sonia ia versatile. NoW ska would make a little money at one thing, at other times at another. Sometimes she would make nothing at all. Once she went to Boston and there staged a Bohemian dance largely attended by Harvard undergraduates. Arrangements went a bit awry, the dance wae not wholly a success, and the police reserves had to be called. A few months' ago She opened a little shop of her own in Ae Village; To her stock of cigarettes she added erudite tomes and fanciful batiks. Then she Was stricken. Her acquaintances tried to find her family. They were all dead, the aaid. She smiled mysteriously whenever she-tree asked whence she had hailed. She jnst appeared one day in the VilBlge. Tradition has- it that her homeland was Russia. "It isn't so moch that I'm down and ouW* she said brdvoly. "It* that tin Village folks don* coma to see me.

Something unusual at such _a. feast was a collection taken by J. Lee Gault for the Creech Orphanage, raising $26.00 to provide for those who are not able to provide for themselves. This amount was pre. sented to Rev. Creech by Rev. Golightly, both of whom were present. Several invited friends were also present. We wish Mr. and Mrs. Gault many yean of happiness.

In seven of the\?ijtftt Kansas congressional districts, the Republican nominees are tti fhnlnbMiil, the one exception being in the Third where the veteran congressman, Phil P. Campbell of Pittsburg was defeated in the pritnary election, after Serving nearly 20 years in congress. The defeat of Campbell by W. H. Sproul was the outstanding sensation of the Kan sas primary election and came as a special blow to Campbell and his friends in view of the eminent position he occupies in the national house as chaii-man of the powerful roles committee and the further fact that Campbell has been prominently mentioned as Republican choice for the speakership at the next session. This also adds to the irony of the defeat; Sproul, a Sedan lawyer, was the opponent. Campbell defeated 20 years ago this summer in a bitter contest for his first nomination, in the Re- . publican district convention ? four years befoe the rpresent direct primary law went Into effect. In vievfr of the bitterness engendered in the primary fight, Democrats of y the Third are counting a lot of Re- ev publicans among their prospective L supporters in the congressional race, L they assert. Authentic reports that v the Ku Klux Klan in southeastern d Kansas counties was very largely re- it sponsible for Congressman Camp- ti bell's defeat, are passed upon gently h by Attorney Sproul. "It was the votes o of the farmers and laboring men that h put me across," is his version. ti Intense interest also centers in the o eighth district. Two years ago W. A. Ayers, then the only Democratic con- V gresBman from Kansas, was defeated u by Richard E. Bird, by a narrow mar- ii gin. They again are opponents, each o having been nominated without oppo- a sition. h The Second district also promises a t< spectacular combat. William H. o Thompson, of Kansas City, Kan., for- r mer United States senator from Kan- f sas, has stepped again into the polit- ti ical harness as Democratic nominee c< against Congressman Edward C.

For the nomination Thompson de- a fe?ted- <Barton Needham, of Lano, a state master of the Kansas Grange, a 1 strong farmer organisation. ti 1 *1 e Raiding in the Mahaud a Country an Active Vocation ti Peshawar, India, Sept. 11.?The v efforts of police and military forces a lave not yet effected and perceptible tl decrease in the number of armed o raids in tne norctiweartern frontier districts, which occurred, with un- o usual frequency during the past few 9 months. fi A late report tells of a bullet bat- tl tie between a party of police and a a raiding gang in the Bannu district. I The police, only eigiht in number, formed a detachment of a larger * party which was searching in the 3 Maidangi range of hills for outlaws n known to be hiding there. This detached party was ambushed in a de- *l file by the raiding gan and had two a of its number killed and its leader ^ severely wounded almost at the first j1 irolley. " The remaining constables opened v fire on their attackers at once, al- ^ though without cpver of any sort. ^ Later they withdrew, one by one to d some water holes about 100 yards ^ away which afforded partial cover. d Prom this position tbey kept their opponents at bay for three hours. 9 finally, when ammunition was nearly p exhausted, the raiders, fearing the ^ arrival of other parties of police aid pillagers, drew off. This enabled the police to recover the bodies, arms d and equipment of their "dead com- fi rades, and to carry their wounded d leader to the hospital at Issa Khel, v where he died the next day, . <* The tale of sniping incidents, am- a' bushes and attacks on convoys, which tl the present occupation of the Mah- ^ lud country has not terminated, is a long one. Regular troops, with speHalized training, have not yet been fcble to overawe the raiders or to tl prevent them from carrying out their &i long established location. The raid- c &rs' chances of success are greatly u enhanced when they descend to the v plains after passing unmolested tl through the area of military occupa- p tion.
