Although the question of the kavala

a solution Is hoped for later, since the
Allies have promised Bulgaria II greater

Meanwhile. the threatened Austro-

Grod no Forts Captured.

The advance forts west OF Grodno in
the north were stormed and captured
by the Germans last night and to-day
and the capitulation OF the entire strong
hold seems TO be merely a matter Of
hours. Little importance is attached
TO the imminent loss OF this fortress,
however. as 1t is well known that ali
valuable war material has long since
been removed and that the investing
garrison Is OF very weak numerical
strength.
There is rather more alarm to be
found in the report from Berlin that the
railroad from Nina TO Grodno has been
cut AT Czarnoco. northeast OF Meretsch,
forty miles northeast OF Grodno At
this point. as has frequently been the
case during the long Russian retreat.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-The Russians are

territory in Galicia- Brody. only three
miles from the frontier. has been en-
tetred by the Austrian troops. and south
at Ternopol, which is twelve miles from
the border. the Austrian ayiators report
that many troop and supply trains are
being rushed toward Russian soil.
The Russian forces on tho Stripa are
apparently in full retreat and at vari-
Gus points the Austrians have even
forced the Russians eastward to the
Sereth. This is the last river offering
anything like permanent line OF re-
sistance for the Russians and II Ia
likely that here they will make a stand
while the remainder of their Galician
armies and military material are hur-
ried to the east and TO safety.
SO the importance OF the fall OF LUX
yesterday was not exaggerated. That
break permitted the Teutonic forces In
Russia just north OF Galicia to bend
back the Russian armies and thus TO
threaten the troops in the south. The
Stripa had been held for n day, while
the Grand Duke Nicholas slipped from
his opponents grasp. but the fall Of
LUX made longer tenure OF that line
too hazardous.

ODD "cURES" FOR MALADlES
superstitlous Remedies That In An
Client Times Were Thoroughly
Believed In.

For sore eyes a touch from an old
gold wedding ring is a popular remedy,
and many an old woman's ring has
earned for itself a great lame as an
eye healer. Apparently reliable au-
thorities can be found who assert that
they have been cured by a touch Of
this description. Borlase asserts as a
fact that a halter with which anyone
has been hanged will cure headache
instantly II tied around the head, and
he adds, Moss growing upon a human
skull, IL dried and powdered and Ia
ken as a snuff, Is no less eficacious.'
Brand tells OF several superstitious
remedies or charms: Hollow stones
are hung up in stables at night to pre-
vent nightmares, or ephialtes. They
are usually called in the north OF Eng
land holy stones The chips OF gal
lows and places OF execution are used
as amulets against agues. For warts
