Russians Not Beaten; are Form

MORE QUIET IN THE WEST
No Change in Situation in France
and Flanders-Teutons Moving
Eastward - Italy Breaks With
Turkey-In the Dardanelles.

London, Eng. = The Russian
centre in Galicia rapidly is re-
forming behind the river Gnila
Lipa before General Won Linin-
gen s drive across the Dniester,
but this retreat, in the opinion OF
London military critics is almost
entirely due to the battle in the
Lemberg region where the Rus
sian positions made retirement IN
evitable These movements have
strengthened the Austro-German
Galicia line and have consolidated
the hold of the Teutons on the re-
gained Galician capital.
Fruitless fighting sums up the
operations along the western front
where even artillery duels lack
vigor except on the line between
Arras and the sea where a bom-
bardment of the positions has
been almost continuous.
The expected detachment OF
German troops from the east front
for operations in the west evident
ly has not yet occurred, ms
probably is due to the stubborn re-
treat and the increasing pressure
of the Italians.
The advance of the Italians has
been very slow but if it is to be
entirely stopped more Austrian
troops must in all probability be
transferred from the Galician line
unless Austria is willing to sur
render the seaport of Trieste.
Trieste, however, being the first
important milestone on the road
to Vienna, it no doubt will be de-
Tended to the last gasp.
Anglo-French troops on the Gal
lipoli peninsula are heavily bonn
harding the Turkish right wing
without result, according to the
Turkish official report, but the
other side has not yet announced
the conclusion of this operation.
Russian Armies Not Beaten
The Russian armies are neither
beaten nor down-hearted, accord
ing to the correspondent Of the
Times in reviewing the six weeks
Teutonic advance, after a visit to
Russian headquarters. General
Ivanhoff, commander of The south
ern armies. shows no trace Of de.
spondency. Discussing the pres
ent situation the correspondent
says:
"The view is held here that the
capture of Lemberg and other
Galician successes have brought
the Austro-Germans no nearer a
solution of the war. In spite OF
their enormous lossesJ which are
estimated at 3S0,000 Germans and
probably an equal number of Aus
trians, they still encounter the
same stubborn army as before
which is willing to keep fighting
for years if necessary. The Ger
mans must continue pouring in
fresh troops in order to hold their
positions, for if they take them a
way to defend other frontiers the
whole edifce of the Austrian de-
fensive will collapse.
"The Russian point of view is
that they can retreat and advance
again indefinitely, caring little for
the moral effect Of the loss of
towns as long as they are con-
stantly weakening their adversari-
es and preventing a trench dead
lock such as exists on the western
and Warsaw fronts. /"

RESCUE OF A VETERAN.
Attacked By A Hen He Is Hoisted From a
Barrel By Two Boys.
rRoston Clohe

DOSLou dlODe.
EAST KNOX. Me-, Jan. 26. Maj Simon Pratt,
battle scared veteran of more bloody fields
than any other G. A. R. man in Waldo County.
who came home in "a with part of an ear clip
ped by mimic ball. two toes gone and a thumb
shot off, came near ending his eventful life in
most unsoldierly way yesterday.
Although 70 years old, and not SO spry as
when he led the charge at ColdHarbor he is able
to help tsome round the place. He discovered
barrel in the barn. The major reached
down to pull her out, lost his balance and pitch
ed headforemost into the barrel.
He is quite stout, weighing more than 200
pounds.
The hen was scared and was squawking and
his grandson, Lafayette Marden, ID years old,
and his chum, Roscoe D. Clewley, happene ed
along.
The boys were not strong enough to get the
major out of the barrel. but Lafayette saw
that the horse hayfork rigging was still in
place, the warp being rove through a block in
the top of the barn. The boy quickly put a
clovehitch around his grandfather's ankles, as
he had been taught at the Boy Scouts drill.
Then he and Roscoe tailed onto the rope and
pulled with all their might, just being able to
hoist the major out of the barrel enough so
that he could get his hands on the edge. Taking
turn to hold the slack, the boys were able to
tip the barrel down and the old veteran crawled
out. followed by the hen. which flew up on
high beam, cackling.
The major was got into the house and a
physician saio that he had close call, that his
heart was somewhat affected and it was fortu-
nate that he was rescued in time.
To delegation of old comrades of War
Eagle Post, G. A. R.. who called to see him, the
major remarked: "Il would have been hard
lines, after being where the bullets flew the
thickest, where the shells were burstin' and
grape and canister flying like Chickahominy,
Bermuda Hundred, Fair Oaks and Antietam
to be repulsed nigh onto serious calamity by q
pesky old settin' hen."

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tiopal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that caL-
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.

A bill was introduced In the Maine
legislature last week which provides
that those who vote in the primaries
need not pay poll tax of So, this being
the amount fixed for all the municipal.
ties of the State. The primary law was
designed to give the people direct voice
IN the choice of candidates for office,
and thus put the political bosses out of
business, but so few avail themselves of
this privilege that it is now proposed to
pay every voter who takes part In pri-
mary election So for his services. There
is. however, quite percentage of voters
who do rot pay even poll tax-enough
in many cases to decide an election-and
this measure would not appeal to them.
They would look in other directions for
their So or So or SIS.

The need of a State sanitarium for
those afflicted with tuberculosis has been
fully demonstrated by investigation. The
cost of treatment in private institutions
of this kind, from SIS to SIS per week,
is prohibitive in large number Of cases.
and many die from this insidous disease
who by prompt and proper treatment
might be restored to health. Massa-
chusetts has a State sanitarium in Rut-
land which receives tuberculosis patients
at 81 per week, the State bearing the adj
ditional cost, and proposition to estab-
lis like institution in this State is now
before the legislature. The Central
Maine Anti-Tuberculosis Sanitarium at
Fairfield may be bought on very advan-
tageous terms, and has been visited by
legislative committee who found the To-
cation an ideal one in all respects. A
resolve is now before the legislature ask
ing for appropriations totaling $50, 000.
If the sanitarium is to be supported by
the State it had better be made State
institution and conducted on lines that
will afford treatment to greater num-
Der of the afflicted.

The Boston newspapers have been
publishing letters from their readers
concerning the parcel post, particularly
as to its efficiency in placing the pro-
Queer in touch with the consumer, to the
profit of both. Naturally there are diverse
opinions. A correspondent of the Bos-
ton Globe says:
When eggs were selling at IS cents
per dozen customer suggested that the
profits should be shared by the consumer
and the producer when the sale was made
without the assistance Of the middleman
and that | should sell him eggs at 80
cents, He wanted three dozen sent by
parcel post.
| found that boxes to hold three dozen
eggs cost 10 cents per 100 and IL IL
cents by the dozen. | bought dozen
and found them most difficult to open
and almost impossible to close after each
egg was wrapped in paper, according to
direction. This may seem aside from
the point, but it took at least half an
hour to prepare the box for mailing, and
time is money
The postage was 10 cents, making %
IL cents that paid out of the 80 cents
that | received.
The same week l sold like number of
eggs at grocery store in neighboring
town-where had never been before
and received SO cents. The man did not
ask me to take goods in exchange, but
appeared very willing to give me cash.
A pleasant drive to the store seemed
preferable to another struggle with the
egg boxes. l could only conclude that
the parcel post was of little use to me in
disposing of what had to sell.
Now we should like to hear from any
If our readers who have used the parcel
post to market products of the farm or
dairy. Some must have done so, and
their experience would be interesting
and perhaps useful to others. While all
communications must bear the name of
the writer these need not be published
and would be held in strict confidence.
The Grange was very important factor
in securing the parcel post and some Of
our local patrons must have made use of
this method of reaching the consumer.
