large quantity of tar paper and gaso-

'rescues."
Smoke filed the house while hum
dreds looked on. The 'rescuers'' with
smoke helmets rushed into the build
ing. Miss Templar suffering from
burns and almost suffocated, was help

dense smoke stepped from the side of
the building which had been burned

themselves vigilance committees to call

'AUSTR|ANS THREATEN
PRZEMYSL FORTRESS
Teutonic Allies Are Endeavoring
to Encircle Russians and Starve
Them Out
SITUATION APPEARS SERIOUS
Fighting Along the Austro-Italian
Frontier Is Still in Develop
ment Stage
By Associated Press

London. May 2S, 12.15 p. M.-The
fortress of Przemysl, garrisoned this
time by Russians instead of Austrians,
Is once more threatened with invest
ment.
Just as the Russians. after surround
ing Przemysl and starving out its Aus
trian garrison. forced the surrender
of the fortress on the twenty-second of
last March, so Austro- German troops,
who have driven a wedge through Cen
trail Galicia, are now attempting a
double thanking movement, and with
growing intensity of attack are seek
ing to encircle Przemysl from the
north and southeast
According to Vienna reports prog
ress is being made in both directions
and If the advance is not checked
Przemysl will either be isolated from
the rest of the Russian army, or the
Russian troops which fell back to the
San will be forced into further re-
treat.
This situation in Galicia is unques-
tionably of great strategic importance
at the present time and even the Brit
ish press comedies that the position of
Przemysl is serious. 1t is described
as the key to the whole Russian posi-
ton in Galicia. and it's fall will mean
that the railroad running eastward to
Lemberg, the main artery of the Rus
sian supplies in this region, will fall
into Austrian hands. Reports that this
already has been severed are
still without confirmation to-day.
Fighting along the Austro- Italian
frontier still is in the development
stage. There is virtually no change
on the western battle front and the
British and the French admit that the
Turks are so strongly entrenched on
the Gallipoli peninsula that only siege
warfare can be waged there.

II AM thankful because I am strong,
i Because of the chances about me.
Because in the thick of the throng
I have brothers who never will doubt
me;
l am thankful to have as my right
The freedom true manhood inherits;
l am thankful for courage to fight
For an honest reward of my merits.
l am thankful that no one may weep
Because l am cunning or greedy,
Because II I SOW I may reap
Without bringing grief to the needy;
I am thankful because have claimed
No vice-tainted tribute from others,
That still unafraid, unashamed,
I may gaze in the eyes of my brothers
I am thankful for those who depend
On me for their freedom from sorrow;
I am thankful at every days end
For the hope Of splendid tomorrow;
l am glad that. though many must grieve,
There are hearts which are stirred by
compassion;
am glad that still may believe
That kindness is not out of fashion.

A BOYS THANkFULNESS.

I'M thankful that I've got daddy
i To work for me with all his might;
He always calls me Little Laddy,"
And says at I'm his hearts delight
He often sets me on his shoulder
And helps to fill the house with noise:
He's bigger than am and older,
But mother calls us her two boys.
I'm thankful that he never worries
Because my hands amt nice and white
I'm thankful that he always hurries
Back home to us when it gets night;
I'm always thankful when it's Sunday,
Cause when it's Sunday, why, you sea
He doesn't haft to work till Monday
Or do thing but play with me.
I'm thankful that he never scolds me
Except when I've been actin bad
And every night almost he holds me
Tight in his arms and says he's glad:
Our blessin's. mother says, are many,
And, gee, but wouldn't it be fine
If every body that hasn't any
Could have daddy just like miner
