In the second act she learns that Jack is not think ing seriously of a marriage she be- ieved to be inevitable, and returns to the mountains.

USIRIANS ARE BEAT TEN
Said to Have Suffered Serious
Reverse in Ga|ieia.

London, Dec. 30.-There has been
a slackening of the fighting in North
ern Poland between the lower Vistu1a
and Pilica rivers, where the Russians
have captured some German trenches,
prisoners and guns-an indication, it
is believed here, that the German
frontal attack on the army guarding
Warsaw has been checked definitely.
In Southern Poland the Russians
also record some successes, while in
Galicia they apparently have inflicted
"a defeat on the Austrians almost as
serious as that which Enepror Jo-
seph's troops suffered in Servia. LIZ
Since their latest offensive began
the Russians have taken $4,000 Aus
trian prisoners and captured many
guns, according to the Russian official
reports, and if, as was estimated, Aus
tria had between three and four army
corps on it's re-entry into Galicia, it
must have lost more than third Of
the number in killed, wounded and
prisoners.
The state of the roads, which are
deep in mud, has prevented the Rus
slams from making the pursuit as eff
fective as it might have done could
the Cossacks have found a firm foot
ing for their horses. = .=-s..s :. ! 5
: Reports Conflict in West. ~
OF the fighting in the west the
French and German reports are in di-
rect conflict. The French claim to
have occupied the village of St.
Georges, which is on the main road
between Newport and Bruges, and
two miles from the former town. On
the other hand, the German report
says: "We have gained some ground
near Newport z}ys.s + !
Heavy fighting also is taking place
in the Argonne and on the Heights of
the Meuse. The French report APP
parently refers to later events than
these recorded in Berlin, for Paris
tells of the :. recapture of a; trench
which the German communication
mentions as having been captured by
the Germans. The French are invest

MAKES
APPEAL TO SHIPPERS
Wants All Cargoes Kept Free
From Contraband.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Presiden1
Wilson appealed to American ship
pers of noncontraband goods, such as
cotton, not to allow their cargoes to
be mixed with contraband articles.
The United States government, he
announced, can deal confidently with
the difficulties which have arisen in
the treatment of American commerce
by Great Britain only if supported by
absolutely honest manifests.
x This statement followed discus
sion by the president with his cabi
net of the general shipping situation
and of the note dispatched to Great Brit
ain protesting at length against the
British policy Of prolonged detention
Of cargoes and other interference
with American trade. X. .. !.
There was a confident feeling in
diplomatic quarters that steps will be
taken by other leading nations OF
this hemisphere, as well as by some
European neutrals, to point out to
Great Britain their acquiescences in
the American point of view. - &
From the way the president dis
cussed the situation with callers ii
was evident that the Washington gov
eminent had spoken firmly of it's de-
sire for an improvement in the condi
tons of neutral commerce and was
prepared to insist further on its
rights. - z~- - ..-s..

ALLOWS PLENTY OF TIME
German Note Regarding Recall OF
Consuls in Belgium.

SSIH1eaH NOtS nS9dFQSn9 neCaI Of
consuls in Belgium.
Washington, Dec. 30.-There is no
disposition on the part of Germany
to hurry it's request for the cancella-
ton of exequaturs held by neutral
consuls in Belgian territory under
German military rule, according to
state department officials.
The German note was sent by mail
to the Washington government, which
will consider the subject at length
before making decision.
It is generally understood that the
United States will avoid any action
which might be considered a political
recognition of the German possession
of Belgium.
. While officials did not comment on
the contents of the German commune
cation they intimated that it contain
ed no evidence of any desire to place
the American government or neutral
nations in all embarrassing situati n.

AusTRIANs ARE in RETREAT
Russian Troops Pursue Them Over
Difficult Country.

Petrograd, Dec. 30.-The retreat Of
the Austrian army in Galicia, along
the Lisko Sabook Dunkla Semi
grod 'front.' is described officially here
as more and more precipitate and dis
orderly. The retiring forces are esti-
mated unofficially as numbering about
$4,000 men.
The nature of the country favors
tie Austrians in their retreat. The
ccrridor-like valleys and passes pre-
vent the Russians from pursuing
them over parallel roads or harassing
their TANKS. Only six roads cross tfa
Carpathians, two Of which are little
more than mountain trails. Owing to
the broken character of this region
the Russian cavalry is able to do little
scouting, while the extreme cold
renders aerop1anes useless.
