of which William Barnes was pro-
prietor. was wrecked by dynamite
shortly after midnight. The affair
caused quite a sensation here and
some mystery attaches to the blow
ing up of the building. Residents
of the town were awakened by the
terrific crash. Many are of the
opinion that the crime was COM
mitted by band of 'possum hunt

doors away was visited though not
attacked and a notice was found
posted on the door which read;
LET this be a warning to the boot

was put at so high figure. AS he
will use two buses. the license will

Envoy Waller has an urgent re-
quest from the national headquarters
of the Salvation Army in New York
to press with renewed vigor the
campaign for old linen. Not only is
the need for linen bandages and sur

it is set forth that if the contribu-

so furnish the needed assistance to
the wounded in Europe, the house.
keepers of this country are once
more importuned for donations of

Submarine U.12 or U.21 Sinks
Steamer DOwnShire in the
Irish Sea.
BATTLE NEAR PRUSSIAN SOIL
Reinforced Russians Resist Aus.
trO-German Advance in
BukOwina.

London, Feb. %. "A German SUBJ
marine, described by some as the
U-12 ard by others as the U.21, op.
Grating in the Irish sea Sunday.
found another victim in the little
Irish coasting steamer Downshire.
The Downshire was sunk not far from
the spot where the British steamer
Cambank was torpedoed a few hours
earlier. The Downshire's crew, how
ever, was given time to escape in
their boats, and. instead of wasting
a torpedo the Germans used bomb.
On the other side of the British
Isles, in the North sea near the
island of Borkum, the American
steamer Evelyn, cotton-laden, struck
mine. She sank, but her crew
was saved.
This makes up the total of steam
ers destroyed by submarines and
mines during the past "a hours, as
far as is known. The submarines up
to now have demonstrated their abil-
ity to attack only slow steamers or
those anchored, as anumber of liners
have passed to and fro in the Irish
sea. where the German craft have
been at work, without being ap-
preached. In fact, with respect to
Liverpool and other west coast ports,
the arrivals and departures have
been above the Saturday and Sun.
day average, according to Lloyd's
list.
None of the official reports of the
land fighting contains important in
formation, although there are big
battles in progress near the East
Prussian frontier. where the Russians
claim to have stemmed the German
advance; in western Galicia, where
the Russians have become more &C.
tive; in the Carpathians. and in Buk-
owina, where again the Russians
have been reinforced and are resist
ing the Austro-German advance.
PetrogIad dispatches say the Ger.
mans have met an impenetrable bar
rier in the vicinity of Ossowetz. and
that their difficulties have been in
creased by the overlooking of the
Niemen river. They are in great
force, however, and the battle.
which is only beginning, promises
to be a severe one.
There seems to be little change in
the relative positions in West Galicia
and in the Carpathians the battle
lines remaining about as they were.
A big battle is being fought north of
the Nadworna- Kolomea line in south
eastern Galicia, and, according to
German correspondents. the Russians
have brought up large reinforce
ments from Stanislau.

from Meadowdale she became Cynthia

the moment she set foot inside it..
Her gait grew free. her step assumed
the elasticity OF girls And. in fact,
at thirty the famous opera singer had
resolved to become a girl again, Just

Nobody in the little village would

Cynthia had found herself upon the

she was to meet him in New York in
