Petrograd. March 2sEventss which preceded the final desperate sortie of the beleaguered garrison in the Austrian fortress of Przenysl. dez signed to break through the encircI- ing ring Of Russian troops, are de-. scrfbed in an official communication issued here last night The state ment says:
 During the last days before the final sortie the garrison received in creased rauons. Each soldier was given biscuits to last five days. warm CTS were instructed to explain to the troops that if they Returned to the fortress an IngIortous fate awaited them ana conseQuentIy they must pierce the Russian front at any cost
 An easter1y direction was chosen for the storIe as the line Of least re- sistance as well as because it led to the district where the Russians had large stores of arms and ammuni- tion More than 10000 men were ordered to participate in the sortie but several units refused to move de- spite the urgings of the co1nman- ders. Only the 23rd Honved division and some parts of the 5th Landwehr and 4th Hussara took an active part They were promptly and decisiveIy defeated.
 ssAn official Austrian communities ton states that the garrison return- ed to Przenys1 because 1t encoun- tered overwhelming Russian forces In< this connection it should be no ticed that the Russian forces near Przemysl never were large and the great sortie was repuIsed principally total number Of captured garrison ex- ceeded Russian expectations.
 'F'olIowing is the text of an order issued by General Kusmanek to the garrison of the fortress on March IS, the day before the sortie:

Aguinaldo, Now Prosperous Planter,
 Forty three Today

This is the forty third birthday Of Emilio Agufnaldo Fanny. the leader of the Philippine rebellion against Spain and the United States and the
 4president'' of the short lived island republic. Aguina1do has become a prosperous planter and in the last few years has reentered politics and has taken an active part in srevoIu- tionary propaganda@ While he favors the early independence of the islands bellion against the United States. and has used all his inf1uence which is still great in favor of peaceful methods AguinaIdo was born near Cavfte on March 22, 1s7 2. His moth CT was a mestizo, or half-breed but
 many different stories have been told of his father. By some he is alleged to be the son Of Spanish general, while other tales have 1t that his father was a dissoIute estIit priest. 1t is likely that both statements are false, and that his father was a Cavite. At the age Of four Aguinaldo was 8 house-boy in the home of a CaVdte Jesuit priest, who educated him. At fifteen the future leader of. of Filipinos was sent to Manila and entered the medical department Of career was opened to him when he lost favor with the priests and was imprisoned for b1asphem On the occasion of a feast, when an image Of Christ was carried through the. streets, and the people were supposed to uncover, cross themselves and go down on their knees. the young Inedi- cal student remained standing, with his hat on his head and a smile on his face. That incident changed the course of Aguinaldo's career He. went to Hong Kong to continue his medical studies. and,. by studying the British troops, picked up a great deal of military Knowledge. He Joined the society in Hong Kong which had for it's object the overthrow of Spanish rule in his native islands, but kept his afhliation a secret when he re- turned to the Philippines in 1898. When the revolution broke out in that year AguinaIdos who had been made mayor Of Ca.yite, headed the insur- rection. The rebellion failed, and Aguipaldo returned to Hong Kong, but was transported back to the isl ands in a United States ship in 1898 He was chosen president of the pro- visi onal government, and carried on a vain warfare against the United States until he was captured by Funston in 1901. on the day after his wenty-ninth birthday.

Ammunition Biggest Problem of the War,
 Says Field Marshal

Paris, March 2S-'Ammunition ammunition, nothing but a.nnmu11i- .tion.'' That is the essential problem which the war presents, in the opin- ion of Field Marshal Sir John French, commander of the English forces in France and Belgium, according to the Havas Agency's correspondent at Bri- tish headquarters.
 Ammunition is the prerequisite Of all progress and of all pushing ahead Sis John is quoted in an interview with a Havas correspondent.
 He added that he had felt for some time that the enemy. were no longer squandering their shells, nor was the morale of the men the same.
 sfEconomic difficulties in the in terior of the German empire are daily becoming more serious he said. e'No doubt the Germans still are far from famine but they rnanifestly are hamp- cred in obtaining food supply, and that is. a. great deal.
 ''T do not believe it will be a. long war. Spring promises well for the allies. I am convinced, and all those here. that a decisive and definite vic tory awaits us at the end of all these hard months of war;

Rneland Has 1.ooo censor.s.

London, March 23--Mlore than a thousand persons are now employed in censor1ng news or letters entering and leaving Great Britain, according to a statement by the government in reply to question by Viscount Bryce in the House of Lords
 Viscount Bryce asked for the names of all censors and urged that fuller information should be allowed to reach England on questions of for eign politics
 It is much to be regretted, ? said he. If cables and correspondence from such a. country as the United States are so interfered with that they fail to have a just and complete picture of public opinion in that coun- Atry.''
 Commenting on viscount Bryceys inquiry. Lord Loreburn said he be- sIieved the censorship could do very little good but might do great deal of harm.
 There is und doubtedly great deal of apprehension, he added. that in formation is not given out as 1t should be The country is steadfast enough to face whatever comes It is a mis- taken policy to use measures to keep back inforTnatzon

Some people shout about hard times
and business depression, but it is not
the firm of E. C. Jordan & Company,
the furniture dealers and undertakers
on West Broadway. Their business
is growing to such an extent that it
has become necessary for them to add
another automobile to their equip
ment for delivery purposes. From a
dan and Wilbur C. Smith have built
this business up to one of the leading
institutions of the city, and the vol
ume of trade that they now control is
real surprise to anyone not fully
