Czar's Soldiers Reported to. Have Added to Recent Successes Over Austriana With Sweeping Defeat of Two Turkish Columns
 Russians Are Jubilant.
Deadlock In the West Con, tinues With Occasional Clashes Between Conupar- atively Small Numbers o1 Men Bad Weather Ham, pers Eastern Activities

Aside from the fighting in1 the Argonne, activity is Iimfe=l ed chiefly to upper AIsacs. where the Germans seem toi have checked the French ad- vance The only claim made in the French statement is that the ground won has been held. The loss of one position to the Germans is admitted.
 The Berlin war office states that the French are lombard ing towns to the rear of the German lines and seem indif- -erent to the killing of their own countrymen and to the de- struction of the French homes. The capture of several trench es from the allies is reported.
 The garrison which has been defending the Galician fortress Eof Przemysl, under siege by the Russians for many weeks, at tempted another sortie. Of the force which made the effort t is said at Petrograd that not one man regained the fortress. every member of the party be- ing kiIledS wounded or eaptur- ed.
 A German trench nearly half a mile long in the Argonne re- zion was blown up by the al- lies, according to today's offf- cial statement from Paris. The French then made an infan- try attack and captured half of the trench. During this charge a grandson of the Italian pa triot Garibaldi was killed. The recent death in action of an other grandson was said in. Rome to have reawakened the war spirit in Italy.
 Against two of the three ma tions she is fighting, Russia ap- parently has scored heavily. To the victory over the Austrians last week is added, according to the claims of Petrograd, the rout of two of the Turkish, coI- umns which invaded Russian Gaucasia. Latest reports from the Russian military authori- ties are the defeat of the Turks was complete and that one Turkish army corps was ami Inflated.
 The campaign against the Germans, however, has had no definite result. The Germans are handicapped by bad wealth CT in their advance towards Warsaw but Berlin asserts that slow progress is still being made.
 Tn the Austrian province of Bulspwina the Russians, ac- cording to Petrograd des- patches, are meeting with lit tie resistance. Friendly lrela- tions have been established be- tween the Russian soldiers and the frontier guards of ~Rumania which adjoins Bukowina and it is believed in Petrograd that Rumania is likely to enter the war.
 In the west the deadlock continues. Outside of Alsace there is little activity except for sporadic encounters be- tween comparatively small

The flames were still raging then and there were only estimates as to the number of dead in the ears and along the tracks.
 Baffled in attempts to reach the victims who lay close to the burning cars, Inspector Eagan of the bureau of conlbuatibles dispatched Niesseng- CTS by automobile, to storehouses with Instructions to return with dynamite. He said he would use this if neces- sary, to rip up the streets and thus afford the firemen an entrance through which they could work un- hampered.

WEAR" BEER CASE
 GOES TO SUPERIOR
 COURT FROM BORDER
Douglas Men Accused of Selling Barette, Golden Ribbon and Other Similar Drinks, Waive Preliminary.

DOUGLAS, May Before Justice of the Peace Maclay this morning. the Douglas men accused of selling Cold en Ribbon Beverage. Barette and oth- CT near beer drinks waived their preliminary examinations and were bound over to the action of the Super for court. However, the cases will not be heard by Judge Lockwood until August, if they ever come up for trial.
 Whether they will or not depends on the decision that will be rendered by the Supreme court of the state in the meantime. Judge Lockwood will render his decision in the 2 percent cases on Wednesday, and it is known that which ever side the decision fav- ors. the other side win appeal to the State Supreme court, which is the court of last resort
 If the decision should legalize the sale of 2 percent drinks, naturally it would be legal to sell those drinks which contain much less alcohol, if any at all However. if the decision goes that way the state will appeal the case; and if it goes against the manufacturers and retailers of the beverage under discussion, attorneys representing them will also appeal When the case reaches the Supreme court the entire matter will be thresh- ed out and the status of all the vari- 1us drinks settled
 SheriH Wheeler says that when he was n Phoenix he other day Attor- ley General Wiley K. Jones reiterated his statement that the sale of drinks such as Barette. Golden Ribbon hey- craze. etc., is auainst the dry law for two reasons. First because they are d beer, which is spet---caUy prohibited even though the drink contain no al- cohol. and second because they are malt drink The law. says Mr. Jones, provides that an malt liquors must be sold by license only and that there is no license law now. nor can there be.

HOWELL HELD
Upon CHARGES
FROM ATLANTA
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

LEESBURG, Ca, Feb. 23.-Former
County School Commissioner A. M.
Howell was arrested here yesterday on
request of Atlanta officers, and was
with them until $3.50 o'clock last night
when he left with deputy for Atlanta,
not awaiting the arrival of the war
rants on which he was arrested, but
anxious to see the case cleared up, go
ing there voluntarily.
The telegram received by Sheriff
Moreland for his arrest was brief. 1t
merely stated that Howell was wanted
there on a charge of forgery and to
hold him. Further than that local
officers knew nothing. Howell himself
was in doubt whether he was wanted
really for forgery or passing worth
less checks.
Mr.. Howell states that he can pro-
duce men that saw the checks in ques-
ton, amounting to six or seven hun
dred dollars, and that they were sign
ed when given to him, some by Andrew
Davis and some by E. o. Price. Should
he establish this, it will hardly be a
case of forgery. He has gone to At
lanta upon his own accord although
accompanied by deputy, to see if he
cannot clear up the matter.

room. There it is allowed to settle in
watts, and the surface is skinned off
If the compound has not been
properly mixed, ring of peacock
green appears on the surface of the
tank, and the attendants dash out OF
! the building to save themselves if they
can.
The third building is devoted to
the washing of the nitro glycerine to
get rid of the excess free acid. Two
washings are gone through, the first
in pure water agitated by compressed
air jets, and the second time in water
to which strong solution of soda has
been added to neutralize the remain
ing traces of acid.
Nitro-glycerine is now used for many
purposes in the form already reached.
But to make dynamite, it is taken to a
fourth shed, where finely ground wood
pulp and Chilean saltpetre are added.
This yellowish soapy mixture is harm
less unless fired by strong conclusion,
generally by a cap Of illuminate Of
mercury, an explosive that goes off at
the merest touch.
Dynamite is rarely used in torpedoes
because gun cotton is more convent
ent. Some forms of it, however, enter
into submarine mines.
The making of melinite and picric
acid and of trinitro-toluol, the terrible
explosive used in aerial bombs, is
kept from the public, while absolute
secrecy surrounds the making Of cor
dite, lyddite, and the mysterious "B
powder. Not even the workmen and
the chemist employed in making these
explosives knows the combinations in
to which they are mixed for service
use. 1t is said that some of the ma
terials turned out in the explosive
factories, which employees and chem
lists think are absolutely necessary TO
the production of service charges, are

PRESS REP
RESENTA7IVE GOES THRU
AMMUNITION FACTORY
JOHN BULL
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Feb. 23.-How the British
make their explosives is described by
writer who was given permission to
go through a factory now turning out
much of the material used in the
British and French shells.
The factory grounds are connected
by telephone and tram lines, says
the writer, and in addition to the
building there are a number of en-
bankments. Some of the sheds are
highly dangerous. First among these
comes the nitrating room, in which a
tank filled W h a mixture of nitric and
sulphuric acid is kept in a state Of
violent agitation by means Of compress
sed air jets, shot up from the bottom.
Above the acid, a small stream of pure
glycerine trickles in. Below the vat is
pool of water in which the watts con-
tents could be drowned were the mix
ture to go wrong. The acids when
mixed with the glycerine, become nj
o-glycerine,-ten times more power
full than gun powder and likely to ex-
plode at the slightest shock.
The fumes arising from the tank are
closely watched while the contents are
cooled by means f chilled brine, fore
ed through coil of pipes at the bot
tom. Should the slightest trace of red
appear, the attendant must drown the
stuff on the second.
When ready, the crude explosive
runs through lead pipes to another

ADMIRAL JELLICOE
IS POPULAR Idol
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Feb. 23.-No popular sail
or is 80 little known personally to the
British people as Admiral Jellicoe. Yet
the admiral has an adventurous record
and has three times in his cvareer re-
covered from Wounds that were at first
believed to be fatal.
Jellicoe comes of a family of French
extraction, and his father was a sailor.
AS a midshipman. he excelle1 his fell
lows in his studies and attention TO
duty, and won nearly all the prizes
offered on his training ship. He took
part in the bombardment of Alexan-
dria, fought at Tel-el-Kebir, and had
narrow escape from drowning when
the yictroia sank He also fought
during the Boxer rebellion in China.
AS an administrator his career was no
less distinguished, for he served as D.
rector of Naval Ordinance and as
Controller Of the Navy.
A writer describes him as a slender
man below average height with calm
gray eyes and an air of perfect con-
fidence. At the same time there is a
lurking sense Of humor in the lines
about the eyes and mouth. In his
small, why figure, he resembles the
late Lord Roberts.
Admiral Jellicoe has always been
immensely popular with the enlisted
men of the navy, by whom he is known
variously as Jackey-Oh, Hellfire Jack
and also as Silent Jack from the fact
he seldom speaks unless he wants
something done.

SAVING BANKS
Of BERLIN now
ON NORMAL BASIS
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Feb. ga report on the
German savings banks shows that they
have done satisfactory business since
the war began. In the days around
the end of July about $24,OOO,OOO more
was withdrawn from them than was
paid in: but in August the deposits ex-
,ceeded the Withdrawals. In October,
owing to the payment of subscriptions
on the big national loan, the with
drawals again exceeded deposits by
some $90,0OO,OOO, but the reduction Of
deposits during the second half of the
year was altogether only about $685.
900 900; and if the interested credited
to depositors at the end of the year
be taken into account their holdings
for the half-year actually increased by
almost $5O,OOO,OOO. For the entire year
the increase was over 5000, 100000. A
considerable number of savings banks
have already issued their annual re-
ports for 1914, and not one of them
shows a reduction in deposits. Since
the beginning of the new year con-
siderable improvement in the business
of the banks has been observed. From
various parts of the country it is re-
ported that deposits have been heavier
than ever before. People are appar-
emily laying by money to subscribe for
the next big war loan, which Will pro-
bably be brought out within the next
month or two.
