pRZEMYSL. Oct 31-(By Mail to
New York; Ono hundred and TWEEN
~ Austrians in Fort AIS killed 40
Russians in a hand-to-hand fight
within the fort enclosure on the night
Of October 6. Only twenty Austrians
were slain. The fight occurred in
pitch darkness.
The Austrians saw forty Russians
coming up the hill toward the fort
walls with their hands raised in APP
parent signs of surrender While their
attention was directed to this gro
tesque band, $50 Russians came up
to the fort enclosure from another
side and poured over the wall, at
tempting TO take the fort by main
physical force.
The Russians carried prayer books
or amulets in their teeth as charms
against death.
The Austrians rushed into hand-to-
hand combat with them. Knives.
sabres. revolvers and even stones
were used. One officer, from a mar
row cleft, shot 40 Russians. His
domestic servant, whom he called to
his assistance, shot 10 from the same
aperture.
The battle continued three hours
until achievements arrived. One
/ hundred and forty dead Russians lit
tered the yard. Their prayerbooks
and religious charms were mingled
with knives and other weapons about
the bloody stone pavement.
The failure of the Russians 10 seize
thp fort resulted In a cpnoraI dis
couragement for the Cars troops at
this point and the entire line was
driven back by the Austrians a dis
lance Of twenty miles.

Few books have ever come from
the press which were destined to
prove such an aid to the teachers OF
civil government in the public schools
Of the United States as "The Ameri-

reading this book will find it so full
OF surprising facts; striking examples
and pleasing illustrations that he or
she will become absorbed in it, and
the study OF civil government will be
transformed from a burdensome task
into pleasant pastime. When a boy
reads about the Bombardier Bug,

he will become acquainted with the
wonderful scientific work OF the
Smithsonian Institution in a way that
he cannot forget. Every chapter is
full of Just such incidents and no one
can fail to find the book of rare value.
The best part of it is that the work
is as accurate as 1t is entertaining.
And equally good is the fact that the

such a ridiculously low price that
