The War Situation Today.

Lord Kitchener sees a probable pro-
longation of the Old World conflict te
three years. possible drawing out tc
a decade. He does not gloss over
the forecast. His is a deliberate,
frank estimate of British war expert,
free from underestimation of the
perils ahead.
Every day on this side the waters
self constituted analytical readers OF
the fragmentary and incomplete re-
ports of maneuvers and claims, are
solving the war problem. On every
street corner and along the rural
fences are found Napoleons, each lay
ing the blame and presenting the out
come. In larger field, military men
and newspaper students of world
conditions and International desires,
are dipping deeper into the inescap-
able results.
Most OF us are aware that Austria
dragged half of Europe and more
into a needless and terrible war. Most
of us know that Franz Josers pur-
pose was to crush Servia Most
have noticed that the crushing" has
come on the other toe. Most of us
thought we saw the Kaiser's inten-
ton as an ally of Austria to crush
France so expeditiously as to then
swing back and take his time in set
ting the Slavic bear. And most of
us have gloried in the preparedness
and spunk of Belgium to knock the
Kaiser's plans galley west.
And now the time has arrived, with
only a month of war passed. when
most of us feel that the Kaiser must
soon think more about Berlin and less
about Paris. An understandable
summary of present conditions is
furnished by the war expert of the
Boston Transcript to lead the dis
patches up to Thursday evening, as
follows:
IF the Russian victory at Lemberg
is as decisive as indicated and if the
Russians can keep the Austrian army
going, the main interest in the theatre
of war may turn TO eastern Europe to
the exclusion of the German effort to
reach Paris. A beaten Austrian
army would permit Russia, who ap-
parently is exerting her greatest
pressure in Galicia, to give her virtual
undivided attention to Prussia--first
Posen, then Berlin-and also would
open the road to Vienna. The battle
of Lemberg was one of the greatest
ever fought. The battle line extend
ed nearly 200 miles and 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 men were en-
gagged. The victory was won after
seven days of fighting, the china,

Taylor, while riding a bicycle was
struck and knocked from his wheel and
severely injured by an unknown man
driving an auto and who, on seeing
that the boy had been hit, speeded up
and escaped without offering assist

citizens have so far failed to reveal

Net, sl.o. Postpaid. sl.32.
Few Books contain as many elements
of interest as this, or can make as wide
an appeal. OF course the story centres
about Jimmy. bright lad who has run
wild and mas to undergo a radical change.
But his father and mother. who have
proved unequal to bringing up Jimmy.
are Just as much in need of reformation
in different ways. This general reforma-
ton is exactly what happens. the eff
cient means being a scholarly aunt who
is wise in far more than books and for
tunately possessed of comfortable means.
The way she proceeds gives many help
full suggestion. A great factor IN the
retaining of Jimmy is the awakening OF
a love for birds and animals in which
the reader cannot help sharing. Jimmy
is human and likable. and the whole
family problem and its solution form a
story that no one can fail to enjoy. or

GIRL IS FAKE
DOROTHY ARNOLD

New York, March 1.-THE claim OF
Ella Evans, of Los Angeles, Cal, that
she is Dorothy Arnold. who disappear
ed from her home in this city in 1910
was today descdibed as pure non
sense" by the father Of the missing
girl, Francis r. Arnold.
John S. Keith, the attorney Of Mr..
Arnold, who has been taking an active
part in the worldwide search for the
girl, expressed himself similarly. Some
time ago., said Mr.. Keith. a letter in
which knowledge of Miss Arnold's
whereabouts "a asserted was receiv-
ed from an attorney in Los Angeles,
but no attention has been paid it, be-
cause it appeared to offer no better
hope of a solution of the mystery
than hundreds of other ucommunica-
tons, of a like nature.
A general police alarm for the
missing girl was still out, he said, and
both he and MI. Arnold were conf
dent that they would have heard from
the Los Angeles police had Miss Ar
mold been found. Mr.. Keith also de-
MED that Mr.. Arnold had sent money
to the woman claiming to be his
daughter.

Grocers Oppose Exhibit.

State fair will be asked to
discontinue the weights and measures
exhibit at the fair this year, on the
ground that it reflects disCredit on re-
tail merchants as a class, while short
weights are given only by a few ped
dlers and dishonest dealers. A resolu-
ton to this effect was passed by the
Minnesota Retail GroCerS' and Gen
eral Merchants association at its clos
ing meeting at the Hotel Ryan, st.
Paul. The delegates dispersed without
settling the price Of next years meet
ing, which was left to the executive
committee. The association decided to
send a protest to the state railroad
commission against express rates,
charging that the companies are try
ing to make up losses on small pack
ages, where thay compete with the
parcel post, by eXorbitant charges on
large packages.
George Fl. SChulenburg Of Duluth,
first vice president. was elected presi-
dent of the association to succeed
George II. Hilbert of Minneapolis.
Resolutions were drafted urging that
dealers be permitted to sell butter and
lard by weight only; recommending
ruptcy law so as not to kill the claims
Of merchants for n~ecessaries of life,
n asking that funds necessary for
carrying on the department Of weights
and measures be provided for by the
legislature out of the general fund.

ALLEGED SPIES
OF RUSSIA ON
TRlIALIN AUSTRIA

Vienna. March 16.-Tl1e second stage
Of the attempt to unrave an alleged
extensive Russian espionage campaign
in Austria was opened today by the
Austrian government. Nine Russian
subjects were placed on trial before
the provincial court, accused of being
employed by the Russian general staff
to ferret out Austrian military secrets,
especially in regard to zGalicia, where
the Austrian Russian frontiers run
side by side.
The accused are all civilians. They
include two women, one of whom,
Nora Baron, youthful and very at
tractive, Is alleged to have succeeded
in obtaining much information from
susceptible officers at Lemberg.
The first stage in the campaign
against spying in Austria was mark
ed by the suicide of Col. Alfred Redl,
chief Of the general staff Of the Eighth
Austrian Army corps whose head
quarters are at Prague. Redl shot
himself after his treason was dis
covered. Further sensational develop
ments are expected to result at the
present trials. ... -,

Attacks State Aid Plan.

Minneapolis Journal: ~Investiga-
tons under direction Of the state
educational commission show that
many school districts obtain more
than a half Of their incomes from the
state through special aid and the per
capita appointments. 1t is the con
clusion Of Raymond A. Kent, secre-
tary of the commission, after study of
records of fourteen counties that the
present system of state aid results in
a reduction Of the local efficiency of
schools. He says that is not the OBJ
ject of legislation giving such aid.
Some districts levy loss than a mill
for school purposes and others up to
eleven mills Or more. A Fillmore
county. district gets 53.6 per cent of
its school. fund from the state and one
in Scott county gets 50.7 per cent.
The average tax levy in the fourteen
counties tabulated~ by. Mr.. Kent is Ii
mills on the true value of the property.
The ratio Of state aid to the total
school expense is 37.2 per cent.
One district in st. Louis county
which taxes itself 11.6 mills for edu-
cation receives only 16.5 per cen of
its support from the state.
