Russia 20 Quit Offensive.

PetrOggad, Feb. l6.-luc forced re-
tirement OF the Russian army from
East Prussia is expected to result in
reversion by the Russians to their
original plan Of conducting a defen-
sive campaign on their own territory
When an offensive campaign was
undertaken and the Russians invaded
East Prussia and Galicia early in the
war, the Germans were forced to with
draw a large number of troops from
the west.
This was considered here to have
contributed largely TO the German re
verse in the battle of the Marine. Rus.
sian officials say that the object of
their offensive campaign has been
achieved and the disposition now is to
fall back to their original plan of de-
fensive operations on Russian soil
along line from the Nieman river
in the north, through Ostrolenka-R Raj
cred and on to Graevo.
With this program in operation,
Russian observers say, it probably will
be possible to retard the German ad-
vance and at the same time defensive
operations will be easier because the
Russians will be harassed no longer
by the lightning changes along the
German front.

STAIRCASE UNDERMINED
Flooded Tiber Does Considerable
DAMAGE In Rome.

Rome, Feb. 16.-Tha great staircase
of SEQ steps ,u U.Ic leading from the
Trasjcyere station 10 The Mon,evegda
section, a hi,ly quarter Of the city, is
threatening to collapse because Of IN
dernining by the waters.
Serious damages have been detected
in the Risorgimento bridge and all
passage over the structure has been
forbidden.
Information from the upper reaches
of the Tibet indicates a turtle" rise
in the flood water Of a few inches,
after which, unless there should come
more rain, the waters undoubtedly
will begin to go down.
The Tiber reached maximum
height OF fifty-seyen feet 1t was
argued thai the extraordinary rapidity
OF the current Of the TiDer would
serve very rapidly TO reduce the flood
stage.
At several street crossings around
the vatican soldiers had built tempo
rary wooden bridges. These with the
passing Of boats up and down the
flooded thorOughfares completed the
impression that a section Of Venice
had been brought up to Rome.

Jakowski, forty-three years old, OF

three of the best mince pies in the
place. Things went along evenly until
each man had disposed of two pies.
Then the stranger said to Jakowski.
81 guess you win, for I'm through"
I'm good for one more and maybl
two" said Jakowski. He ate the third
pie, but then complained of feeling i'll.
Leaving the fourth pie he went to see
physician. He fell dead as he told
his symptoms. Acute indigestion had
killed him.

Poetry and Noses.

/ have read that no poem was ever
written to a nose. Can you, offhand,
recall single rapturous or even admir-
ing description of one? l search my
memory in vain, but produce instead
one instance that has always interested
me by neglect. You recall that little
poem Of Browning's, "A Face" the
brief and charming description of a
girls profile against background Of
gold The "matchless mold of softly
parted lips, the neck three fingers
might surround" and the fruit shaped
perfect chin" all receive their due Of
praise; the nose, seeming necessity
in any profile. is not even mentioned.
1t may be as well; each reader supplies
In the lovely face the line that suits
him best. The poet may have feared
that by its mere mention he would pro-
duce the effect too often given by the
nose in real life-a heaviness that mars
an otherwise charming face.-Atlantic.
