ier was not at home when the Ger
mans called, but servants were there
and they were forced to wait on the
Kaiser's officers.
Their second act was to drink up
all of a special brand of champagne
that Menier kept on hand. When the
servants informed them that the sup
ply was exhausted, the Germans re-
fused to believe them. At the point
of a gun they made the servant 40
into the cellar with them and show
them that there was no more to be
had. Following that they had every
chicken and fowl of every kind on the
place killed and cooked for them.
When they left they took Menier's
motor cars with them.

A Vienna Report.

Berlin, Oct. Is, 6;15 p, m. (By wire,
less to London)--It was officially
stated in Vienna Wednesday that our
troops were attacking the fortified po-
sition of the enemy on the line Starry
Sambor- Medycka, the line of battle
extending into the Carpathians. We
occupied Coronya after an engagement
lasting four days and we are pursu
ing the enemy in the direction of
Wyskcw.
Minor engagements with retreating
hostile divisions which occurred in the
valley of the Visso were successful.
Our cavalry has already entered the
fortress of Przemysl from the west.
The enemy was perplexed by the ra-
pidity of our operations in Russian
Poland and Galicia and tried vainly
to resist the attacks on the fortress
by detaching troops to the west. They
were unable to resist the advance of
our army and the Fifth and Sixth
Russian infantry divisions, attacked by
Us at Lancut, fled in the direction of
the River San.
The Turkish press draws special at
tention to the sinking Of the Russian,

tion over the event. 1t states that
this achievement will considerably
raise the spirit animating the German
army and have a demoralizing effect
in the French and Russian armies and
navies.

Petrograd, Oct. ia Russian ar
tilleryman, who at the risk of his life,
stopped while retreating under fire
to rescue baby, has received the
Cross of st. George. Two companies
who later went to his rescue also were
awarded the same honor
The artilleryman was taken to the
hospital at Kieff where he surprised
the nurses by bringing with him the
baby he had saved.
The soldiers battery had been get
ting the worst of an engagement and
an order was given to fall back. While
Iretreating through village. the ar
tiileryman noticed baby crawling out
into the street in the very path of an
artillery fire. He ran back and picked
the baby up and just as he did a
shell burst over his head. He fell
to the ground, holding the baby under
him. He was shot through the back
and unable to get up.
SEEING his helplessness two of his
comrades rushed back and carried
both him and the baby to saftey.
London, Oct. '16.-Recruiting officers
attached to the cavalry division at
Shercditch were nearly bowled over
with surprise when a grey bearded
man applied for place in the
cavalry.
He was Henry Chaplin, and ad-
mitted that his age was 73 years.
"OId as I am, can still do fairly

London, Oct 16.-Winston Churchill
today handed out his opinion of how
the war could be brought to an end.
1t was in a message he sent to be
read at a recruiting demonstration at
Acton Park.
Nothing less than million British
soldiers in the line together will fin
ish this war as it has got to be
finished. The cause is worthy Of the
effort, and the effort is well within
our strength. Victory is certain if we
organize now. This is the time for
sacrifice and daring. Prussian mill
tary tyranny must be broken forever"
"Remember that we are fighting, not
merely for the safety of our country,
but also for the freedom of the world
was the message sent by Balfour.
Bonar Law also sent message, say
ing: "Never has this country been
engaged in a war so just or so neces-
sary and never before has the whole
nation been so united in determining
to bring it to an end"
London, Oct. 16.-A curious story
recently received from Villers Coterets
tells Of new attempt and novel one
by the Germans to get the range for
their artillery fire.
A British sergeant one night ran
into three Germans right outside the
British line. Whipping out his re-
volyer, the Briton killed two Of the
Germans and the third surrendered.
They had a telephone with them, con
nectcd with wire with their camp.
The length of the wire paid out the
range, Of course, for the gunners.

William Hunter, the celebrated anat- omfst, who died in 17s8, said tox a friend in his last moments that if he had strength enough to hold pen he would write how easy and pleasant a thing it was to die, and the late Pro lessor Jowett, after an illness which had brought him very near to death, described the Experience as being ~fuII of interest and devoid of alarm
 On one occasion a well known public man described the act of dying as ~a great adventure that must be much more Interesting than setting out for the north pole" While few will agree with him. it fs a great thing to know that science has robbed death of it's ter TOTS and has taught us that mo matter how much a dying person may appear to be suffering, he or she, fmmediate1y before death. can feel no pain what eVer.-Pearson's

New York.
 There were no mysteries and sur pr1sfngfy little evident excitement, but all quietly awaited the end which we thought so near until in a few min utes. the officers reported that the hole in our side was above the water line It vas big enough, however. to admit two or three trolley cars abreast, and huge anchor of the Pretoria. weigh ing five tons, was found fmbedded in our bow. while the iron plates of our ship were twisted up like shavings-
 For nearly twenty -four hours more the fog continued with brief ,intermis- sfons, and this evidently got on the nerves of the passengers even more than the shock of the first moment of the collision.

 The factthat Jack Jdhnson- had reached thesage of thirty eight years | ffty-elgnt days when he risked his ti- tie against Frank Moran in Paris last Saturday has led to some interesting discussion regarding the ages at which previous heavyweight cham pions lost their ring laureIs. John L. Sullivan was ttirty-fcuTs years old when defeated by James J. Corbett at New Orleans in 18s2s He held the title for ten years, but Corbeet was less fortunate, for he retained the championship but five. years. being thirty-one years old when Bob Fftz- simmons won at Carson City, In 1897.
 Fftzsinmons' tenure of champion ship was even less for at the age of thirty-seven he was knocked out by Jim Jeffrfes at Coney Island in 1S9ss after holding the title for two years and three menths. Jenrtes who met defeat at the hands of Johnson at Re- no, July 4, 1910, was thfrty-five years old when the negro wrested the ring honors from him. He held the cham pionshfp for eleven years.

t Is an. oninous quiet that prevails in Ireland now, says a Belfast dis patch to the New York Post Probably to other countries it seems that the trouble in and concerning Ulster has subsfded There could be no greater mistake To us who are watching events at first hand from day to day this quiet more marked apparently than has prevailed in Ireland in twen- fy years, fs only the calm before the storm
 UnestentaffousIy, but none the less surely. both parties in the home rule controversy are making the deadliest preparations for an expected conflict At the Tnforist headquarters the agents are working night and day pre- paring the details of a provisional gov eFnment. The machinery is almost in working order, the final details having been arranged when Carson was last in Belfast
 The putting into force of that ma. chinery is expected to be the signal for the outbreak It seems incredible that the British governmeut will stand the taking oven of public departments and offices by the Ulster government. The government must assert itself or leave the province to, anarchy. If 1t asserts it's authority bIoodshed Is almost a cer- ta1nty
 Carson put the issue plainly and clearly. In event of complete and per manenf exclusion of Ulster from the provisions of the home rule bill not being granted, he would mot hesitate to order his men-11OyOO0 well armed cavalry, artillery and, fnfantry-to take action, which means that they will take the province under their control and hold 1t by force of armss At the moment the province is garrisoned by 5000 British soldiers, seven-eighths of whom are in complete sympathy with the Ulster volunteers If the govern ment attempts to move more troops into the province there will be revolt, with an outcome which can only be conjectured.
 On the other side the Irfshs volun- teers are 1nereasiug by leaps and bounds They now muster close on. 150,O00 men True, they are unarmed to any greaE extent, and they are off, cerIess, but they constitute a. most for midable body, and England will have to reckon with them in the Very near future.
