Magazines of BuIWark Let Go
and Nearly 800 of Crew
Killed by Explosion.
IMPORTANT RUSSIAN VICTORY
london and Petrograd Report $4,000
Germans Captured and Say that
Retreat Has Become Rout
Of Great Proportions.
Summary Of E1ents.)

The British warship Bulwark
has been blown up IN the Midway
river off Sherness by an explos-
ION IN her magazines. Only
twelve were saved out of the crew
of 700 or 800 aboard the Bulwark.
The explosion is believed to have
been IN an internal magazine.
Whether it was caused by Ger
man agents or was an accident
such as might have occurred in
times Of peace, has not been de-
termined.
To Help England.
a brief dispatch from Lisbon says
the Portuguese congress has decided
that Portugal should cooperate with
the Allies. The minister of war has
called for a partial mobilization of the
army. The treaty by which Portugal
believes it is bound to aid the Allies
was made in 1903 with England, and it
provides that each shall mutually aid
and help the other in case of attack
French Guns Near Metz.
French artillery continue to bonn
bard Arnaville, only ten miles from
Metz, Germany. The development of
an offensive in Lorraine has long
been expected, but to what extent it
may be carried was not indicated at
the war office.
From north of VerdUn and south OF
! Metz the German line extends in
wedge into the Verdun-Toul defenses
of the French. The two sides of the
wedge are Joined in the region of
ChauvoncOurt and st. MihieI, where
desperate fighting has occurred the
last week. 1t was at Chauvoncourt
that the French suffered heavy losses
through the explosion of German"
mines. The French have been unable
to drive the Germans from the posi-
lions that now hold in this district
and the movement upon Arnaville is
evidently Tightening of the circle
which the French are endeavoring to
drive about ST. Mihiel
Heavy Attack on Allies.
The Allies have been attacked in
force from Ypres to La Basse. A
terrific battle has commenced. The
Germans have heavy reinforcements
and fresh guns for this renewal of the
effort to cut through the Allies line
The English artillery, however, thus
far has thwarted all the German at
tempts
1t is now said the plan is to reach
the French coast by December 1G. The
Germans shown few signs of being
staggered by their enormous losses
and dispatches from Berlin set forth
that the German troops are far better
able to stand exposure to the cold than
are the Allies The forces of Emper-
or William are trained and clothed
for just such an emergency, while
the troops Of the Allies, from the
south of France, from Morocco and
from India must necessarily suffer
greatly.

the direction pointed, and entered the doctors outer office. "Sit down minute" came pleas ant voice from somewhere. and Pete crawled up into one of the large chairs. The next few minutes were about the busiest the cripple had ever known. Pictures, statuary, books, fur niture-never in his short life had he seen such an array. How could he possibly remember all to tell Tom? Before the survey was half finished, however, a tall man with a kindly face stood before him and held out his hand for the paper. Pete handed him the Star and arose to go.
 Hold on a minute. how much do owe you?"
 Two cents."
 1.-TWO cents?" the doctor shouted, SO loud that Pete feared he had over charged him. Didn't you pay carfare to get here?"
 "Yes, Tom paid that" Pete smiled with relief.
 Tom? Who's Tom?"
 He's me big brudder." This time the smile bespoke pride and thank fulness.
 Likely sort of chap?"
 Yes, sir; Toms all right" The smile was wider than ever. s
 Do you know who I am?" the doc tor asked in his kindliest tone, plac- ing his hand on the boys shoulder.
 ''No"
 'I am Dr. Harrison" The smile dis appeared and the boy began to trem- ble at mention of the awful name. Possibly you have heard of me?"
 "Ye-es," Pete whispered. too scared to realize whether he was say.

 "What?" the bewildered Pete was too intent on selling papers to bother about new legs.
 "A new leg, say. Doc Harrison. what told you bout. is goin' to make one fer you"
 "Aw, gwan. Wot yer givin' me?" grunted the skeptical Pete, ignoring the enthusiasm of the head of the house.
 Come on, I'll show you"
 Nav. you don't. You don't get me losin' what leg I've got.''
 Honest, Pete, I'm on the level. The doc says he bets he can fix you up good as new"
 "Nixy fer me. I'm fer keepin' me bum prop. I reads how a doc saws of boys legs just for fun"
 "Aw, Pete, don't be silly. The doc won't hurt you"
 Don't you believe it," Pete replied, and started down the sidewalk to get away from temptation. Tom knew Pete's stolid strength of will, and de- cided on another tack. He felt in his pocket and found sixteen cents. Count ing out five pennies, he ran across the street, and soon had Dr. Harrison on the wire.
 Hello. this you, doc?-Pete won't come-Naw, he's afraid you'll hurt him. He's read how a doc cut off a feller's leg just fer fun.-Send up . pape? Sure, but you'll have to hide yer sign, or he won't never come in.- All right. I'll send him up. Please don't hurt him, will you, doc?-Good- by"
 Tom ran back to the corner.
 "Hey, Pete," he called, as soon as he was within earshot of the cripple. "a guy just told me to hustle Star up to 345 West Alden avenue. Get on a Prince street car, and hurry up. Here's a dime fer carfare."
 There ain't no profit in that" Pete grunted. "go yerself an save the dime"
 Do as yer told. I'm boss O this corner" the young financier retorted, showing Pete toward car as fast as the cripple could hobble. Get of at Walnut street and walk west half a block" he shouted as he helped Pete on the car platform.
 For the first time in twenty-two years Dr. Harrison's sign was hidden as the cripple struggled up the steps and rang the bell.
 Here's yer pape," he said in mat ter-of-fact tone, holding out the first edition. when the maid opened the door.
 "Paper?" asked the girl, pretending ignorance. l"Step in a moment and I'll see if it belongs here.'
 Pete stepped inside and took of his cap. The girl disappeared, but return ed presently, and pointed to an open door down the hall. Pete hobbled in

to Doctor Harrison. He knew the rest of the tale from long experience. and asked no further questions.
 Come in the house, and let's talk il over"
 Say, doc, don't believe you want me to come in. I ain't got no money
 Why, that's just the reason I want you to come in," the doctor replied with a merry twinkle in his eye, and ran up the steps closely followed by the small urchin. As the door closed behind them he seized the youngstel in playful bear hug, and landed him in heavily upholstered leather chair s It was such a chair as that boy had seen in the great shop windows, but had never thought of sitting in, and the warmth of it's soft cushions gave a pleasant thrill to his shivering lit tie body.
 What is your name?"
 "Tom Mcclure. You know Pat Nc Guire that tends bar down in East Downey street?"
 No, I don't believe do."
 Well, he's me uncle, and he says
 
 road smash-up at Hanover"
 Yes, I remember going out to Han over with lot of other doctors at the time of the accident; but that was ter years ago."
 That don't make any difference to Uncle Pat. He never forgets favors Guess he ain't had many in his life"
 Did your Uncle Pat send you to see me?" asked the surgeon.
 Nav, but it's because what he told me bout you made me think it might Pete's leg"
 ''Where is your brother, Thomas ?'' "Aw, don't call me that. I ain't Thomas. I'm just Tom. Raggy Ton they call me round the square I sells papes on the southwest corner of the square. Business ain't so bad this time O year, and I'm breakin' in Pete"
 "He can walk, then, can he?" The his small caller, and was giving his whole attention to the case in hand. Tell me more about Pete"
 Pete was born that way. Doctor said one leg wasn't DO good and never was goin' to be, SO when Pete got big enough, l saved me pennies and bought him a crutch, and after while he got so's he could use it. Then took him down to the corner and he helped me sell papes in rush hours. He likes to be doin' sonthin', but he gets awful tired holdin' the papes and hangin' on to his crutch."
 Does he stay there all day?"
 Nav, not all the time. Business ain't rushin' only mornin's and nights, and Pete stays home part of the time. On cold days he gifts shivery cause he can't get round very fast SOS to keep himself warm."
 Is there any news stand on that corner?" the doctor asked. 5ecoming

 Now. Pete, take good look q me-" the doctor continued as he arose from his chair and stood in the mid, dle of the room for the cripple's tn1 spection. "T'm not really such an aw-| full man. am I, Peter"
 "N-n-o-o," Pete answered, mora because the surgeons tone needed . negative reply than because he knew what he was saying.
 Pete, like little boys," the docto1 went on, ignoring the lads terrified expression. And I kind of thint some of them like me. Do you thint you could"
 "Ma-a-aybe," the youngster waa doing his best to be brave.
 The doctor glanced at the open doos and nodded to the maid.
 From Mcclure is out at the door and wants to see you." she said.
 Send him in," the surgeon an swered heartily. "Well. never HeI. To, Tom!"
 Hello. doc! Done anything to Pete's leg?"
 "Why, no, we haven't mentioned legs. Have we, Pete?"
 Not yet" said Pete, with feeling that something was still to come.
 Say. doc. look at 1t now. will you?'' Tom exclaimed energetically and be gan to take of his brothers shoe.
 Hold on minute, Tom; this isn't the place to examine legs, and besides. I never make an examination without the owners consent."
 Tell the doc you want to have yer leg looked at," Tom commanded in . tone that bore authority.
 Before Pete could answer, the doc tor had interposed good natured ob+ jection.
 You keep out of this, Tom. This is Pete's leg, and he shall have the whole say about what is done to that leg"
 This announcement was 8 revelation to Pete, who had had visions of being bound and gagged while the doctor at- tackled his leg with a common hand- saw.
 'Ts that straight?" he asked, look ing up dubiously into the surgeons face.
 Absolutely" the doctor exclaimed. T won't touch a finger to that leg till you give me your consent"
 There, Pete, what'd tell you" Tom broke in, but the doctor drowned at him to keep quiet The eyes of both Tom and the surgeon were now on Pete.
 -'eWhat'n 1t cost?" The cripple seemed about to yield but wanted one more obstacle cleared away.
 Never mind the cost, Tom and I have arranged that between us"
 The look of appreciation and grati- tude that the cripple brother gave,

 Go ahead, doc. Do anything you want, only don't hurt me too much Say. ain't Tom all right?"
 You bet he is," the doctor replied and potioned the cripple to the inner ofice.
 Tom was busy as he could be on Christmas eve and it was we'll after midnight when he crawled into his lit tie bed, tired and lonely. for Pete had gone to. the hospital three days be fore. He knew away down deep in his heart that it would do no good to hang up his stocking, but hope dies hard in the young and the stocking was pinned to the side of the chair
 The sun had shone for an hour or more when Tom awoke and realized that it was Christmas day. He hardly dared to. glance at the stocking but summoned up courage and looked at the chair where it hung. The stock ing was empty. Tom reached over and felt 1t to make sure and then crawled back under the bedclothes. For the first time in his life the rough ness of the world had overcome him and. in spite of all the strength he could muster, the great hot tears crowded into his eyes and flowed down his cheeks. He buried his face in the pillow and cried great big soulful cry.

 The bright-eyed, thinly-clad boy on the steps of one of these beautiful homes was not wasting any time in envying the rich. He had waited there for some minutes for the big au- tomobile he knew was due to arrive from the hospital about that time each day.
 The big car pulled up beside the curb. A big. kindly-faced man stepped from 1t and started up the steps.
 Say. are you the doc?"
 The surgeon paused halfway up the steps and glanced at the small bit of humanity balanced on the stone hand rail.
 Why, yes, my little man, what can I do for you?" he asked tenderly, as he, stepped over and put hand CD the lads knee. He was familiar with the type of boy who had greeted him, and it was type of boy he liked, a fearless, independent, little waif of the streets. In the great hospital, of which he was the head, they were his most uncomplaining and appreciative patients, even if they were not the profitable ones.
