Berlin, Via Amsterdam. - The

STA has defeated the invading Rus

movement of the Russians is reported
to have been checked.
Washington.-"East Prussia is be-
ing rapidly oveTun by the Russian
army and great part of this region
is already in Russian hands," the
British foreign office cabled Sir Cecil

here today. Another cable confirm

Misunderstanding reports of
the British positions in France are
current here. The Times correspond
ent at Paris cables that the British
lines have been extended for some
distance.
The correspondents of the Express.

British have been forced back to a
new line and that Cambria is now
held by the Germans in strong force.
According to the Express cor

Russian flood of troops. From Trieste
came the report today that because
of these troops being drawn away
from Bosnia Emperor Franz Joseph's
southern armies have been ordered to
remain on the defensive.
From the same source came reports
that the kaiser, fearful of the steady
progress of the Russian advance, has
ordered the Fifth Army from Alsace.

been taken over and traffic. to the

The Rhine
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author OF "At Good Old siwaBh.s

"HE Rhine is a medium sized river
which rises in the Alps and flows
northward through 1000 years of
history. song and story into the Ger
man ocean.
The Rhine is produced in Switzerland
and its mouth is owned by Holland but
Germany has monopolized 1t for rO-
mantle purposes. 1t is 500 miles long,
but If 1t was as long as the poems
which have been written about it, it
would stick into the North sea several
hundred miles and would be a serious
menace to navigation.
The Rhine was prettily designed by
nature, but has been vastly improved
by man. Originally it was a disorderly
stream which tumbled over a so foot
shelf Of rock at Schaffhausen, Switzer-
land, and then meandered turbulentIy
through rocks and between wooded
hills. But the industrious Germans
have built neat banks for it, have
adorned it with picturesque old towns,
have Strengthened its curves, dug out
its sandbars and pulled the rocks out
Of its bed. They have terraced the hills
which enclose it and have planted them
in vineyards. They have stuck grim
old ruined castles on tops of every peak
and have installed restaurants at every
mile post Every move of the Rhine is
now a picture It is the finest artificial
river in the world
The Rhine has watered history ever
since the Roman legions laved their
bunioned feet in it while chasing the
Allemanni A thousand battles have
been fought on its banks and a thOus-
and barOns once lived on its wooded
hills and dared the stranger to pass.
But now it is a common carrier with
an eight foot channel and there are SO
many barges on it that if the German
government ever gets out of this war
T0
The Rhine has to lug so, O0O 900 tons Of
freight a year to and from the sea,
which is the biggest job performed by
any river in the world.
Thousands of tourists travel up and
down the Rhine each year in small,

THREE of the Tabby children sat
out in the hammock. Tessie and
II Binkie and Tom. It was very
warm, and their arms and legs hung
over the sides, and they wiggled and
pfnched one another in a friendly way,
whispering and giggling together
What gets me entirely groWled
Tommy, lis the way that mother al
ways chooses Tottie to help her when
she has good things. It's pity she
couldn't choose one Of us once in
while"
well you know" put in Tessie, CIV
ing Binkie a push that sent them near
" all out on the lawn, you know how
good our dear little sister is" She
turned out her lip as she spoke. We'll,
I call mother smart" said Binkie with
a yawn. for picking the most honest
one to help her serve the good things
to eat If I ever have a party, 1
wouldn't choose either you or Tom
Tabby to help me-" And you can just
bet that we wouldn't choose you,
either laughed Tom.
So they talked, and inside Of the
house quiet little Tottie, in a fresh
clean apron. helped Mrs. Tabby with
all of the fried birds. and cakes, and
delicious sandwiches. Il wish that the
other children would get out of that
hammock and get away" said Tottie.
ct know very well that they are plan
they get a chance" Mrs. Tabby
laughed. Don't worry, Tottie,' she
said, III keep my eyes and ears
both open; they can't get past me"
And she did watch so well and man
age so artfuIly to have some one in
the kitchen that the mischievOus little
rascals in the hammock did not have
single chance TO get inside.
Come on" said Binkie, Tets get
out Of this. There is never a chance
to be had with mother about, and we
might as well go and take our chances
when we come back"
Tessie agreed with him at once. and
they both got out But Tom did not
move. Flat on his face, just as you
see in the picture. he was fast asleep,
with one arm hanging out. "S-h-h-h
let him stay said Binkie, for he will
surely get entirely left there. If we
90 out and sit on the back step Tottie
will give US tastes She will be good
to us if Tom isn't there to make
fuss" SO they battered around to the
back door, and, sure enough, TOttie
was very kind to them, though she did
not give them very much.
In the meantime, Tom in the ham
mock was opening his eyes. He had
not been asleep at all, and was just
waiting for the others to get away so
that he could make dive into the
house for the goodies alone. "They
would spoil any fun" he said to him
self as he slid out and crept up to the
front door. He lodged in, and around
r corner, caught his breath, for some
one was coming up the hall, and took
