to a bridge over the Aroostook Falls,
just over the Canadian line. The
drivers seat of the machine was so
effectively curtained that he could not

story jibes with the statements of
persons who have told the authori-

night, along the road that passes
through Fort Fairfield and thence to

The authorities incline to the belief
that the body was dropped into the
falls. A quarter of mile below is a
dam that blocks all progress of float

believe that the remains of Mildred

of water that extends from the bridge

80 feet in depth and is in the nature

Rennenkamph Triumph

General Rennenkampf apparently
drove wedge between the two Ger
man forces which were advancing up
on Druskeniki and Ossowetz and
brought about the battle of Angus
towo, which resulted in Russian VIC
tory.
If the Germans have not already re-
tired from the left bank of the Me
men river at Druskeniki their defeat
at Augustowo must compel them to do
so. The moral effect of another invas-
ion of East Prussia also will be of i'm
portance.
Big Battle Near
From the Silesian and Galfcian bat
tlefields, nothing has come througi. to-
day, and probably the main armies
have not come together there. A big
battle cannot much longer be DELAYED
as particularly on the Silesian from
tier. both armies are moving forward
and will meet in Russian Poland.
Before the Russian advance in Ga
licia, the peasants are. fleeing the
country and IT rs reported that 1000

era have occurred among the troops

that the situation in the fortified po-
sitions remains unchanged.
Fighting, too, continues in the Near
East. and the Anglo French fleet has
succeeded in destroying Lustica, an

of Cattaro.
While the Servians and Montene-
grins are attacking the outer FORTH
cations of Sarayevo, Belgrade, which
has been so often under fire, has not

probably as a result of the re-occupa-
ton of Senlin by the Servians.
Skirmishes have occurred on the An
glo-German frontier in East Africa,
due to the German raids into British
territory for the purpose Of cutting the
Uganda Railway.
All these raids have, according to
the British official report, been re-
pulsed.
While the usual life in England is
not seriously upset by the war, the
regulations in many respects are be-
coming more stringent. An instance
of this is to be found in the action of
the authorities, who, in order to keep
the army provided with warm cloth

ties of woolens in leicester, step

Matters came to pass as Ramabai

because Ramabai thought more of his

And when, late In tho afternoon, the

upon the trap. threw aside her veil,
and revealed herself to the spectators.
For all her darkencd skin they recog.

round the arena. Kathlyn. knowing
how volatile the people were, extended
her hands toward the royal box. When
the murmurs died away she spoke in

To this Umballa said no. The mul.
