Austro-German and Russians
Struggle for Possession OF
Carpathian Passes.
kAISER'S MEN LOSE HEAVILY
Siavs Retake Lost Position at Point
of 5ayonet-BerIin Expecting
Important Developments
Army Estimates Ratified.

London, Feb. 11-Cnder mid-winter
conditions the Russian and Austro-
German army are fighting another
series of battles for possession of the
Carpathian passes which will decide
whether the Russian troops will COM
mence another invasion of Hungary or
be compelled to evacuate part of Ga
licia as they have done Bukowina.
The Russians have issued two Off
cial reports of the operations, accord
ing to which they have thus far had
all the better of the fighting Their
right wing, at any rate, has succeeded
in crossing the mountains, for it has
been engaged in a battle near Bart
field and Svidnik, which are ON the
Hungarian side of the Carpathians
and on the edge OF the plains which
sweep down to Budapest.
This army, too, threatens the rear
of the Austro-Germans, who having
entered Lupkow pass to the east, have
suffered severe losses in a battle
with another Russian force which was
waiting for them there. The hardest
fighting, however. has occurred on the
Gahcian side of Tukholka pass, where
on Sunday the Austro-Germans cap
tured the heights in the region of ko-
5ioUwka only to be driven from them
after a bayonet fight which the Rus
si3n report describes as being with
cut precedent in history"

Berlin. Feb. 11-Important develop
ments in the East are generally eX
pected here at an early date. Ru
mcrs have been repeatedly circulated
, from time to time in the last few
weeks that the hour of big victory
was at hand, without, however, mate
rializing into fact

UNITED STATES RANKS HIGH
Percentage of llliteracy Compares
Well With Those of Other coun-
tries of the World.

In the United States the percentage
of illiteracy is TT for the total popula-
ton lover ten years of age) and ) for
the native white population In Den
mark, Germany, the Netherlands, Swe-
den, Switzerland and the United King
dom the percentage of illiteracy is
lower than that for the native white
population of the United States. Doubt
less the list should also include Nor
way, although no figures are available
for that country; but in the other Eu-
ropean countries the percentage of
illiteracy is higher than it is in the
United States, and usually very much
higher. In Bulgaria it is 60 per cent;
in Greece 70, in Hungary 33, in Italy
81, in Portugal SO, in Roumania 61,
in Russia 60, in Servia 79. and in Spain
So. There is less illiteracy in Aus

For steadfast Peace.

God puts within our reach the pow
er of helpfulness. the ministry of pity;
he is ever ready to increase his grace
in our hearts. that as we live and act
among all the sorrows of the world
we may learn by slow degrees skill
and mystery of consolation. IF We
know these things, happy are We If ye
do them" There is no surer way of
steadfast peace in this world than the
active exercise of pity; no happier
temper of mind and work than the
lowly watching to see if we can lessen
any misery that is about US; nor is
there any better way of growth in
faith and love.-Francis Paget.
