HINDENEERQ CONTINUES
VICTORIOUS DRIVE.
Gormans Plan One More Big Battle
In the East Before Resuming
| Western Offensive.
London—The Aualro-German armies
which now appear to be working In
perfeot concert aa the result of the
German organisation, are giving the
Rnaalana little rent or time to reor-
ganlae themselves after their retreat
from Galicia.
Simultaneously with the German
effort to reach Warsaw or the Russian
Haas serving that fortress from the
aorth, the Austrians have attacked
along the Dniester and have succeed-
o4 In creasing that river at several
points. General Von Mackensen's
army which doubtless had been wait-
ing for Field Marshal Von Hlndenburg
to move In the north nlso haa come
to Wfe again and fighting has been
resumed In southern Poland. There Is
fighting of more or less severity all
along the Ruaalan front except In
oentral Poland, where the Russians
are in such strong positions that In
the opinion of military men, It would
be Impossible to break through.
The Germans claim lo have nmde
further progress with their northern
operations, but with the Russians re-
tiring It Is not likely that the main
forrea have clashed as yet. The com-
bined operations are the most gigantic
undertaken, the nlm being, according
to military experts, to aqtieeze the
Russians out of Warsaw and the great
slice of country which they hold lo
the north, south and east of that city
and at the same time lo attempt an
Invasion of llossarabla.
So long as this effort to crush Hus
ala or to break her power of offensive
continues there Is Utile possibility,
military writers say, of the Germans
attempting any important movement
in the west, for it is believed that the
Auatro-Gerinaus will for a long while
require all their available troops In
the east. Pour German army corps
composed of Pomeranlnns and men
from Schleswig are said to have left
Thorn lo reinforce General Von Hln-
daaburg.
The German crown prince's offen-
.aive in the Argoune In the opinion of
military experts was to weaken tho
French hold on Verdun. A German
official statement claims that one re
suit of this offensive was the capture
of 7,000 French soldiers In three
weeks. On the other hand the French
claim to have gained the most of the
ground they had been forced to give
up and which they stated did not ex-
ceed 400 yards. Itritish reports de-
scribed the effort of the crown prince
aa a cosily and partially successful ad-
vance followed by a counter-offensive
which deftly checked his progress.
Fighting is In progress on the I-or-
raine frontier and in Artois, where
the French continue their attempt to
capture Souchez. Further progress is
unofficially reported from Athena to
have been made tiy the allies on the
Gallipoli peninsula in the Dardanelles
campaign and as the Athens dis-
patches are generally ahead of the
official reporta, Utia statement Is cred-
ited here.
Mora Important is that the news
that Ruumania haa declined to accede
to G*rmaujfs demand that Koumnnla
allow munitions to pass through that
country for Turkey.
The entente allies announce another
victory In Africa where they captured
Ngaundcre, an Important trading cen-
ter of Kamerun. a German colony In
western equatorial Africa.
WHS HIS HIRE YEARS’ FI8IT
ABLE TO QUOTE PRECEDENTS
Countries Now Protesting Previously
Secured Munitions in United
State e—More Diplo-
matic Notes.
Washington - The t'mted Slates
will scud within another fortnight a
reply to the note recently received
from the Austro Hungarian govern-
ment, which contended that extensive
shipineiiU of war supplies from this
country to the sllies were “not in con-
sonance with the definition of neu-
trality.”
Unofficially word came that Turkey
would follow Germany and Austria
In making representations on thia sub
ject and should a note from the Otto-
man government arrive, officials
would delay the sending of their an-
swer so as to simultaneously Inform
ihe German ullles of the unalterable
view of the United States on arms
shipments.
While Germany has admitted In dip-
lomatic correspondence with the Unit-
ed Slates the legal right of individuals
In a neutral country to sell munitions
to belligerents, some emphasis was
placed on the super normal growth of
American industries for the manufac-
ture of arms and explosives. In the
Austrian notea, extracts of which have
appeared In dispatches from Amster-
dam this idea Is developed almost en-
tirely to the exclusion of the legal
question Involved. *
Contention In Auotrlan Noto.
It points out that the American gov-
ernment would be "entitled to pro-
hibit the export of war material" If
the trade In contraband "takes the
form or dimensions whereby the neu-
trality of the country will be endan-
gered.*'
It also was pointed out, regarding
possible object Iona, that American In-
dustry waa willing to supply the cen-
tral powers with goods hut could not,
owing to the war situation; that the
United States government waa In a
position to redress this state of af-
fairs by advising the entente allies
that the supply of foodstuffs and war
material would be suspended "If le-
gitimate trade In theae articles be-
tween Americana and neutral coun-
tries were not permitted."
The Nebraskan Cans.
Although state department officials
were pleased by receipt of a memoran-
dum from Ambassador Gerard formal-
ly transmitting Germany's admission
of liability and expresalon of regret
for the attack by a Oermn submarine
on the American steamer Nebraskan,
they practically decided that the legal
points raised by the Incident would
require the dispatch of a note on the
subject farther to conserve American
rights In the war zone.
T.egal officers pointed out that in
ninny respects the case resembled
I hat of the William P. Frye, an
American ship sunk by the Prlnz Eltel
Friedrich. In both cases the German
government has expressed regret at
the occurrence and-offered to compen-
sate American citizens for losses sus-
tained but the action of the German
commanders has been declared Justi-
fied under the circumstances. To ad-
mit this officials here say would estab-
lish a dangerous precedent.
Omciats take the view that the case
of the Nebraskan proves conclusively
that a merchantman must be visited
In order to determine lts nationality,
and the character of Its cargo before
being attacked. Some high officials
do not believe the United States would
Insist that in exercising the right of
visit the submarine commander actu-
ally be required to board a merchant-
man hut would hold that a ship could
be “visited" by signaling a warning
to stop and asking for the submission
of papers to the submarine command-
er. This was done recently In the case
of the American bark Normandy
which was halted by a German sub-
marine nud allowed to proceed.

New York.—Harry Kendall Thaw
waa declared sane by a New York

PIUTE NOT (IILTY OF MIRIER
Early Action on Packers’ Claims.
In response to the appeal of Ameri-
can packers, officials of the state de-
partment are preparing a note to Great
Britain, urging enrly settlement for or
the release of thirty-one cargoes of
meat products consigned to neutral
countries which have been held up
by the British government.
llo^esentatlves of the packers con-
cluded conferences with Chandler An-
derson. special counsellor of the de-
partment, who had the subject In
hnnd. Secretary l.anslng will review
the matter before the representotatons
are forwarded to London.
Tho packers submitted a memoran-
dum setting forth their case aud out-
lining the long series of negotiations
which they have carried on with Brit-
ish authorities In a vain endeavor to
reach a satsfactory adjustment re-
garding five cargoes valued at $14,-
000000, seized before the British or-
der In council against commerce with
Germany was known to the shippers.
The final demand was that the pack-
ers guaranteed Great Britain aglnat
dims arising out of tha detention of
shlpa and guaranteeing also against
claims (or neutral buyers.
Tse-Ne Gat Acquitted by Jury of Kill-
ing Mexican Sheep Herder.
Denver.—Tse-Ne-Gat, Piute Indian,
was found not guilty of a murder
charge by a Jury In the United States
district court. Tse-Ne-Gat had been
aroused of murdering Juan Chacon, a
Mexican sheep herder In southwestern
Colorado.
The trial was the culmination of a
series of events which attracted wide
attention last February. One deputy
and several Indians were killed In at-
tempts to arrest Tse-Ne-Gat and the
word went out that ITtes and Flutes
alike were preparing for an old fash-
ioned uprising. The department of
the Interior sent a special agent to
investigate the need for troops and
Hugh L. Scott, major general and chief
of staff of the army, started from
Washington to try hts powers of per-
suasion on the red men.
General Scott drove through bliz-
zards 200 miles in a auckboard, went
unarmed Into the Indian camp And
persuaded them to surrender. Ha
said after returning to civilization that
the only promise he had given the In-
dians was that Tse-NeQat would be
given a fair trial. He said. also, that
the Indians had relssted the marshal
because they feared the youth would
be turned aver to a vigilance com-
mlttee.
Tse-Ne-Gat testified In his own be-
half. sa>lng "I could not kill my
friend.*' and other Indians told of
overhearing a plot by certain Indians
nnd half-breeds to get Tse-Ne-Gat
hung.
Twenty Cents Out.
"I made an awful break yesterday,”
said the fellow who is known as a
tight ward.
'That is unusual for you. How did
It happen?" asked the man Id whom
he was about to confide.
"1 met Lulu In front of an Ice cream
parlor, and I told her that her lips
were like strawberries. She said the
only way to prove it was by making
the comparison, so I had to blow her
to a strawberry sundae."

"Did you hear about Scribbler?
The police caught him walking out
of a hotel writing room with about ten
dollars' worth of the hotel stationery
under his coat.”
“What did he have to say for him
self?”
“Said he was gathering matarial for
a novel.”

A woman mounted the etepa of tha

Ilka a reversed saber. An attendant

"He’s my husband!” aha snapped

Many There Are in Quiet Places in the
World Mere Worthy of Medals
Than Any Boldier Who Hae
Wen “Glory."
We're very busy these days talking
about heroes, lauding those who have
given their lives for their country,
writes Edna K. Wooley in the Kansas
City Star. All sorts of medals are
being distributed to men who are un-
doubtedly brave in the face of fearful
dangers. Governments make great play
upon the honor and glory achieved by
their men who go forth to kill other
men or he killed. To die in the service
of one’s country—ah! There can be
no greater privilege, no finer quality
of heroism! Strike qff more medals!
Fin on more fancy ribbons! Erect
more monuments! Continue to make
men and women believe that there Is
more heroism In a spectacular death
while fighting the enemy—that enemy
which Is composed of brothers and
sisters—than In living that others may
live.
I know one humble-souled little man
who would be most deprecattngly sur-
prised If anybody offered him a hero
medal. He hasn’t been wounded In
battle nor saved anybody from drown-
ing. In fact, he has lived a decidedly
Inconspicuous life and considers him-
self of no Importance at all. The only
thing he might think about Is that he
can't afford to die right now, because
he's too busy taking care of his broth-
er's two little children and their In-
valid mother. The brother had
"skipped" when the burden grew too
heavy, and the humble-souled little
man, already burdened enough with
his own family, sfmply considered It
his duty to provide for the helpless
sick woman and her helpless little
onea.
He can't make very much money
He hasn't the gift of earning except
by the sweat of his brow. His hands
are hard and clumsy. But he doesn't
ask his overworked wife to bear all
the burden. After his day’s hard labor
he sits up late many a night help-
ing with the nursing and. yes, with the
mending.
But what makes him a hero, chiefly,
is that he never complains. He has
kept everybody hopeful, even cheerful,
by his optimism, his preachments of
better times coming. He Is humble
souled, but there's. a stream of sun-
shine coming out of his heart, and
though ha isn’t much on looks, he's
truly doing the world good by pass-
ing through.
Still, there are no hero medals to
emblazon a Ufe like this. I doubt If
he'd wear one If he had It.
I know of a workworn mother who
haa kept her family together through
hardships that would try the soul of
any soldier. Tenderly reared, she had
no thought of disaster until one day
men walked softly Into her home, bear-
ing a heavy burden, and she knew that
the father of her children and the man
she loved had gone Into the great be-
yond.
There were debts, and three little
children. She might have separated

But she chose to keep her little fam-
ily together.
Her spirit survived long hours of
“day labor" In strange households. She
served as a waitress In a restaurant.
She tramped from house to houae,
seeking to sell what nobody wanted
to buy. She performed menial tasks
for the coarse-minded who took a de-
light in treating her aa a servant
And yet this gentlewoman reared
three splendid God-loving cltlsens. be-
cause no matter what her workday
taaka had been, evening saw her al-
ways tha amillng mother and compan-
ion of her little ones, putting memories
in their hearts that would endure
through their Uvea.
This woman was mads of tbs stuff
that heroes are made of. There are
many, many more like her. But we
do not bestow hero medals on such.
They are doing no conspicuous deeds
of bravery. They are only doing their
duty, we say, while we hussa the man
who leads his troops to victory over
the dead bodies of bis feUow men.
Why is there more glory In killing
than in preserving life; In destruction
than construction?
