London. March 23. = Official an.
nouncement comes from Petrograd
that Przemysl. regarded as one of the
most powerful fortresses in the world,
has surrendered
Officially IL is not stated how many
Austrian soldiers will be prisoners to
Russia, but military observers, con-
sidering that the twenty-fourth infan-
try division and the twenty-eight Hun
we'd division OF infantry formed part of
the infantry defense, while the artil-
lery was separate, believe that they
will amount to about $4,000 men. This
allows 10000 killed and incapacitated
or prisoners.
The capitulation came when General
Pitik Won Ruden, commander OF the
infantry forces, and General Hermann
Won Kusmanek. commander OF the
artillery and the forts, signified
through messengers through the lines
that they had exhausted their means
of defense. The terms of the surren-
der have not been arranged. but II
goes without saying that the garri-
son and the artillerymen will be ac-
corded full honors of war.

Serkin Girl .Vanishes; to
Reappear Some Day, New
Woman With New Name

LOS ANGELES, June 10
Edith Serkin, II, has officially
lost her name and identity and
gone into seclusion from which
she Is to emerge, some day, a
new woman with new name!
This is the girl who won noto-
riety through her accusations
(disproved by jury of IL mem
made in a court of law, against
Chief of Police and now Mayor
elect Chas. e. Sebastian of this
city.
Since Sebastian's acquittal, the
central accusing figure in the trial
has disappeared, figuratively and
literally; from the eye of man.
BY order of the court Edith Ser
kin has gone out of existence.
When the case is forgotten, If that
ever will be; when the girl has
been given a chance to live down
the notoriety she gained, she will

duced the thing to mere wreck.
age.
The government has trans.
formed the worst Railroad In
France into one Of the best, while
the employees have solid reason to
bless the day when the govern
ment salvaged the wreck.
Wages have been increased for
all, but particularly for those who
had been the worst paid. The
average day for workers on the
government line is an hour and
a quarter less than on the pri-
vate lines. Pension arrangements
are made for retired employees.
AT the same time the figures
show that the government opera
ton has been economical. One
of the suggestions or supersti-
tious arguments against govern
ment ownership il that 1t would
introduce needless number of
employees. provide jobs for needy
politicians and all that sort of
thing. but this has been dis
proved.
In view of these demonstra-
lions the aeople of France will
have no regret If the government
should make its possession OF
tho railroad lines permanent now,
instead of waiting for the expir-
alton of the companies charter.
Even without the war govern
ment ownership was destined to
make great progress in France;
with the lessons of the war 1t
promises to become the national
principle.

ASTONISHING RESULTS have

its stores, its great guns and
their ammunition, Its efficient
ambulance service, its commits
sariat that has had the wonder
ing admiration of all observers,
ana yet has maintained cOmpe-
tent passenger and freight trans
portation for the public!
You can go anywhere In
France, back of the military
lines; go comfortably and
quickly.
Until the war came, there was
very little government ownership
OF railroads in France. OF the
country of $4,000 miles of line
only 1915 miles were operated
by the government. Previous to
1907 the government had only
$50 miles, and seven private
companies had all the rest. One
of these, the Western, comprising
the lines from Paris to Dieppe,
liavre, Cerbourg and so on, had
long been financial derelict. 1t
had been enormously overcapi-
talized and then drained.
All French railroad charters
contain the provisions that after
a certain period the road shall
pass to the ownership of the gov
eminent and without cost except
for certain items. In 1907 the
Western was dumped on the
nation.
1t is the results of government
operation of the Western that
have given to the American rail
road press agents their chief joy.
They say that the government
operates the road at loss.
1t certainly does. But tn

Christian Scientists describe this
war as Error destroying itself
They may be right; l don't know.
But anyway, there is no doubt
that the old. hard, selfish individ-
ualism is destroying itself.
Wonderful changes have al
ready taken place in the Euro
pean view of all these things.
Government ownership has had a
tremendous boost. You will see
hereafter far less of private en-
terprise for private gain and far
more of public enterprise for the
general welfare.
1t is inevitable because the war
was the biggest crisis in human
history. All illusions, pretenses
and fakes went glimmering. Every
nation must get the best possible
service, the most efficient the
most economical.
SO IL kicks over the ropes old
private enterprise and substitutes
ownership and operation by the
nation.
This is revolution, and revolu-
lions work only one way. You
will see, when this red storm
passes, new and broader style
of government, for the COMMON
GOOD.
