 Service Elsewhere.

 Nothing since the capture of Lem ,erg and the victorious sweep of the Russian army through Galicia in the beginning of the war has aroused an kqual degree of enthusiasm. News ,aper offices and army headquarters were bombarded with telephone in n a pelting snoWstorm before the bull etin boards.
 The fate of the fortress had been in- Vitable since the failure of the last Austrian drive from the southward for ts relief There have been daily evil fences of a shortage of provisions and eports of the ravages of disease reach d the besiegers from time to time. Sradually the lines about the city were lrawn tighter, until within the last ortnight Russian rif1emen were with n range of the outer works. Russian rtillery pounded the forts ceaselessly.
 The Austrian sortie of last Saturday Tas preceded by such an extravagant SC of ammunition by the artillery as leace the impression that the be- ieged city was at the end of it's re- curces and desired to consume the emainder of its ammunition prior to urrendering.
 Although Przemysl has been elim- hated as positive menace to the Rus tan troops operating in Galicia since ua sisolated and surrounded early

If this is due course, prize court procedure is buncombe. It is difficult to avoid suSpecting that the case perhaps is being Intentionally de- layed, so that if the court ultimately decides that the foodstuffs may pro- ceed to Germany they will have routed meantime. An American would find it hard to choose between indiscrim- mate destruction and regulated cap- ture''
