SLAVS PREPARING TO
STRIKE AT HUNGARY
Believe Time Is Ripe for Inva-
sion Of Pennsylvania.

London, Jan. THE crushing blow
the Russians appear to have dealt
the Turks in the Caucasus and the
further advance of the French in AL
SAGE on the road to Muelhausen con-
tinue to hold the foreground in the
war news in the absence of any other
important developments east or west.
On the diplomatic side interest
centers In the report from P~etrograd
hat the Russian occupation OF the
northern and eastern section of the
Austrian province OF Bukowina, ad
Joining the Roumanian frontier, and
the friendliness between the Russian
troops there and the Roumanian from
tier guards, point to an early entrance
of Roumania in the war of nations on
the side of Russia. Roumania has not
yet abandoned her neutreiity, but ad
vices reaching London assert a warn
ing has gone out to Roumanian resery-
lists to hold themselves in readiness
for service, and developments soon
may be expected.
While there has been some German
progress to the west of Warsaw, Po'
land, British observers say the Rus
sian general staff is giving many in
dications of an intention to strike a
heavy blow in Hungary. With Buko.
wilma partly occupied, they say, the
time is ripe for an invasion of Tran.
tylvania, an eastern province of Hun
gary, bordering on Roumania. Near.
ly 1900, 600 OF the population OF this
region are of Roumanian stock.
Depend on Uprising.
According to the contention OF the
allies these people may be expected
to seize the opportunity to throw on
the rule of Austria and unite with
Russia. In other circles, however, II
Is pointed out that Roumanian arms
unlikely will be employed to obtain
Austrian territory for Russia, and
that If Roumania enters the war she
will keep the territory which she oc'
cupies.
A significant feature Of the Russian
advance In Bukowina along the Rou.
manian border is the fact that the
Russian advance guard Is formed OF
men who speak the Roumanian Ian
guage and have Roumanian sympa'
thies. Friendly relations have been
established between these soldiers
and the Roumanian frontier guards
md Petrograd believes Roumania will
inter the val.
A dispatch from Paris states that
developments ''of the highest impor
lance are imminent in Roumania. A
eozen French and British newspaper
correspondents left Paris for Rou
iaania by way Of Bulgaria.
1t is felt in England that the re
ported rout of the Turkish invaders
OF the Caucasus. with the defeat Of
their plan to seize the Russian fort
ress of kars, gives the Ottoman
forces such a setback that the much
discussed invasion of Egypt is now
virtually out of the question.

and his ruling Is that clerks in his de.

One by one the enemies OF John
Haynes were encountering retribution.
Robbed of his vast lands in one OF
the western states by gang OF con-
spirators, torn from his wife and
daughter, and railroaded into the penl'
tentiary at Nokomis Falls, this Eng
lishman, in the solitude Of his cell, had
conceived a scheme OF revenge whlch
should overwhelm all who had leagued
themselves against him. He had In
vented, in the prison machine shop, a
gyroscope wheel, which, when at
tached to any vehicle, afforded 1t un'
shakable stability and incredible
speed. He had travelled a hundred
and fifty miles an hour by automobile,
a little more in an invalid's chair,
while, by attaching to his foot small
replica of his invention and running
along a single railroad line, he had
achieved more than two hundred
more than three miles minute.
One by one his enemies had died or
disappeared Sometimes there came
no notice. sometimes penciled warn
ing on a morsel Of notepaper. The
last had been Judge Charters, one OF
the Nokomis magnates, who had SEN
fenced Haynes to the penitentiary in
return for a share in his millions. Two
days before his death Charters had
received the warning. He had called
up his ally Hopkins, the chief con-
spirator, as soon as he received the
threat, hired a special train, and with,
in two hours set off for the west coast
Of America, in the vain hope OF shak.
ing off his relentless enemy. That
night the train was held up by Haynes
and sent crashing down steep grade
into the river, carrying. as was be,
lieved, the body of the Judge with it.
In the babbling maniac who was found
by the track and subsequently impris
oned for life in the State penal instt
tuition for the insane, the guards
thought they had found the perpetra'
tor of the crimes; they did not know
that this creature was Charters him,
SELF a victim Of Haynes vengeance
On the floor Of Charteris' smoking
room Edward Philemus Hopkins found
the four written words which had
driven his friend to his destiny.
Hopkins went home. On his hall
table letter lay, posted in Bender
Vile. Your turn comes next" was
written on the enclosure and nothing
more. The words and handwriting
were identical with those found on the
floor of the smoking room in Charteris
house, and sick with horror, the mar
gazed at that fatal message. Hopkins
was physically brave, but that nerve
racking terror which he had endured
