in a statement to the Associated Press

Przemysi Siege Lifted.
The Austrian stronghold or Pre-
mysl, German official statement
says, is now entirely freed of the Rus
sian siege. The Russians are reported
to be in fortified positions along the
line of Stry, Sambor and Medyka,
which now are being attacked by the
Austrians- This line is supposed to
keep in check the direct Austrian adj

Mere Activity at Sea.
A British cruiser and four destroy

The population of Belgium steadily
is becoming what a French writer
terms "a nation of exile.
The burden of this tragedy is falling
upon Great Britain, Holland and
france. Between three hundred thou
sand and four hundred thousand Bel
gians have crossed into Holland and
equal numbers have focked southwark
into France, while more than one hun
bred thousand have arrived on English
shores and thousands are continuing
to pour across the English Channel
daily.
While their eventual reparation or
absorption into the populations of
other countries looms on the horizon
as one of the greatest problems in
modern European history, the ques-
ton of today is the care of the exiles
and the feeding of the millions of per-
sons remaining in Belgium, whose in
dustries are paralyZed.
London's streets and parks are full
of Belgian officers and soldiers, some
of whom have been wounded. Others
among them became separated from
their commands and joined the exodus
of refugees. The Belgian legation has
issued instructions to all the able
bodied men to rejoin the army.
The principal Brussels newspaper,
the independence Beige, has begun
publication in London. Its editor says
that the Belgians fleeing from their
country will never return if it remains
under German rule, and that a large
proportion of the exiles are looking
forward to making their homes in the
United States when they can obtain
funds to go there.
Turkey Still Is Defiant.
Turkey has declined to discharge
the German crew of the cruisers Goe-
ben and Breslau, which have been in
Turkish waters since early in the hos
tilities and which are said to have
been sold by Germany to the Turkish
government. This reply was given in
answer to the British representations
regarding the continued presence of
Germans on board these two vessels.

Korea.

Korea has practically become part
of the Japanese empire. At any rate
the Japanese control in that country
is complete, and the chances are that
that control will never be withdrawn
not, at least, until Russia dominates
the whole Asian mainland, If that
time ever comes. The population of
Korea is 100000, and the area 49,
600 square miles; nearly twice that of
the state of New York.

The French still hold the eastern

which the French defend every yard

French infantry is sheltered in three
story trenches. The bomb proofs, even

General Fighting in Poland.
General fighting has been in pro-
gress between the Austro-German al
lies and the Russians in Russian Po-
land and in Austrian Galicia during
the last week 1t is reported that
about a million men are engaged on
each side.
The Germans and Austrians drove
the Slavs out of western Galicia and
caused them to retreat northward in
Poland to the Vistu1a river. But here
the Russians turned upon their pur-
suers. notwithstanding that the fight
ing in the eastern theater is extensive
and bloody it is not neither
side is really getting anywhere.

All the Austro-German attempts to

CHINAMAN CONFESSED
Murdered Mistress and Placed Body
In Furnace for IncineratiOn.

VANCOUVER, 3. c., Apr. 4.-Jack
Long, aged II, Chinaman, today con-
fessed that he murdered Mrs. Charles
j. Millard wife of the chief ticket
agent of the Canadian Pacific, who
has been missing since Wednesday.
Kong was employed at the Millard
home.
Millard had gone to Victoria on a
trip and on returning home was un-
able to locate his wife. Blood stains
on the carpet and the discovery of
Mrs. Milard's hat, dress and other
clothing in the garret with a bloody
axe in the basement, indicated murder.
An examination of the furnace re-
vealed gold ring worn by the woman
and a quantity of charred bone.
Confronted with these evidences the
Chinaman confessed. The motive was

syndicates of middle class and poor
class fiat dwellers have been formed
all over Switzerland, and are making
bitter fight for reasonable rights, ac-
comodations and rents. For several
years past there has been a building
fever among get-rich-quick specula-
tors, and by means of ring rents
have been forced up by them nearly
thirty per cent, despite the fact that
the supply of houses is greater than
the demand Tenants in old houses
and flats have their rents increased
and at the same time are offered
slightly cheaper Accommodations in
new buildings for year only. Then
the rent is raised as much as thirty
per cent, the family generally staying

it was prepared, as well as to every
member of the large cast. The seen

much to make the play a success.

WEYERHAEUSER SYNDICATE,
CREATES COMMENT.
News Flashed to Moscow in Bulletin to
Star-Mirror Eearly TOday-He Was
Greatly Interested in Idaho.

| The news of the death of Frederick

besides his interest in that mill, re-
garded as the biggest sawmill in the
world, he has for many years been
identified with the development of the
timber resources in every part of Ida
no as we'll as all Pacific northwest
states. Personally Mr.. Weyerhaeuser
was transformations and Stunned pub
licity. He has visited Moscow fre-
quently in the past and was intimately
known to many people of this city.
On many occasions when being in
terviewed by newspaper men here and
elsewhere in Idaho he always express
ed his sentiment against giving inter
views, though very frequently he
spoke of the wealth OF timber that
Idaho possessed and expressed the
view that the timber industry would
play no small part in the delopment
Of the state.
During the past few years his trips |

SPRAY APPLE TREES
OK SUFFER LOSSES
c. c. VINCENT OF UNI
yERSITY SOUNDS NOTE OF
WARNING. =
Tells of Experiments Carried on and
0ffers Public Details of Proper
Solutions for Use.

If the north Idaho apple growers
are to prevent this year repetition
of their last years losses from the raw
ages of apple scab they must prepare
Immediately to spray their orchards
and tc spray them we'll. These are the
: words of warning given out by Profess
sor C. c. Vincent, head of the depart
ment of horticulture at the university.
1t is estimated by Professor Vincent
that from twenty-five to fifty per cent
of last years apple crop in north Ida
ho was lost because the growers fail
ed to take proper precautionary meass
ures to free their fruit from scab.
Last year a very thorough expert
ment in spraying for apple scab was
carried on by Professor Vincent in
the university's orchard and some
very definite results were obtained. A
lime-sulpher spray was used and four
applications were made. With this So
luton, testing 81 degrees baume on
the hydrometer, the spray was applied
at the rate of one and one half gal
Ions of the concentrated material tc
fifty gallons of water. The first appli-
cation was made when the buds show
ed their first pink; the second immed-
lately after the petals had fallen from
the blossom: the third four weeks lat
er, and the fourth from nine to ten
weeks later.
