LONDON. Aug. 30.-Reports from
the eastern front indicating that the
Austrians and Germans are engaged
in an effort 10 clear the last corner o.
Galicia still held by their opponents
have excited great interest here. The
Russian lines on the upper Bug and
the Zlota Lipa have been pierced, but
II is not vet clear how serious q re.

enveloping movement from the south.
Having lost Brest Litovsk, Grand
Duke Nicholas can not afford to hold
the river positions in the south In the
face Of an important movement, for TO
do so would endanger his armies. The
opinion is ventured by some English
critics that this latest move may eon.;

SLOW LANDSLIDE
CARRYING AWAY
WASHINGTON ST.
Falling Section of Hillside
Threatens Destruction
to Property.
MAY BLOCK R. R. TRACKS
Expert Engineers are Baf-
fled in Efforts to Stop
Movement.

A slow movement OF the hillside
similar to the flow" OF an Alpine gla-
cier is carrying a section of East
Washington street towards the Balti'
more & Ohio railroad tracks and
threatening with destruction the home
of Antonio Delligatti and other prop,
erty, according TO Ira Smith. street
commissioner and member OF the city
Board OF Affairs.
The unusual amount OF rain this
summer and the peculiar formation OF
strata in East Washington street dis
trict has resulted in starting an
earth movement which resembles
closely the slow but almost irreSistl'
BILE flow Of an ice glacier.
According to observations made by
Commissioner Smith an immense sec
ton Of the hillside has been slipping
at the rate OF few inches each week
all summer. The slide carries with 1t
about rs feet OF Washington street.
A telephone pole at the side of the
street erected in the section Of the
hill which is slipping has been used as
q means Of estimating the rate at
which this strange mud glacier is
moving. During the early months OF
summer this pole slipped down three
or four feet. The telephone company
month or more ago dug up the pole
I; ind reset It in line with the other
poIes on the part Of the street which
is still stationary. During the last
month the pole has been carried down
nearly two feet farther.
Both the railroad company and the
city are interested in stopping the
slide because it threatens not only to
carry away the street but to damage
residences and to block the railroad
tracks. Street Commissioner Smith
has conferred with representatives OF
engineering department Of the rail-
road company for the purpose OF devils
ing some method Of stopping the slide.
but so far theiT efforts have been fruit
less.
While the earth movement is slow
the force Is so tremendous that many
engineers believe the construction OF
a wall strong enough to stop 1t is I'M
practicable. Several Baltimore 4
Ohio engineers who have had much
experience in handling slides on ac-
count Of the character OF the country
through which the road runs are or
the opinion that nothing can be done
to stop this mysterious earth move
ment.
The slide Is moving so slowly that
while It may cause much permanent
damage before it stops It will not re-
suit in sudden blocking Of tracks Of
a character to endanger life. Engin.
eers say that the most economical
plan for handling the slide Is TO wait
until the movement has expended its
force and then TO rebuild the street II
necessary and remove from time to
time whatever debris may be forced
upon the railroad tracks.

DYNAMITE RIVER TO
FIND DROWNED Man
Believed Young Foreigner
Who Went Down Yester-
day Committed Suicide.

Efforts to locate the body of Frank
KamnieSzki. aged -. who was drown
below the Baltimore and Ohio yard
office in the Mouongahela river AT
$50 yesterday evening, have so far
proved futile.
This morning z. r Schaefferman.
supervisor OF the Baltimore and Ohio
right OF way on the NJ. r. division.
caused eight blasts OF dynamite 10 be
put off around the point that Kamni-
eszki was said to have gone down.
None OF the blasts. however. brought
any signs OF the body to the surface.
The impression that the man com
mitted suicide still persists among the
foreigners that were associated with
the drowned man since he came 10
Fairmont Although reluctant aboUs
it and thinking it Sacreligious 20 speak
ill OF the dead. the men say that Kan
nieSzki had intimated that it was i'm
material TO him whether he lived or
died
The chief reason for kamriesZki'S 5
depression previous 10 his death
seems to be that his father was killed
in the war while fighting for Russia.
and that his parents home was de-
stroyed and his mother left in dis.
tress, all OF their cattle being taken
for the army.
At II o'clock this morning the
search was temporarily given up. as
dynamite seemed TO be of no use In
the case. and arrangements made to
get special hooks and go to work this
afternoon draGSing the river.
The Italians and HungarianS in the
employ OF the B. & o. who were work
ing with KamniesZki have arranged
to notify the mans mother. who lives
in Poland in Russia.
The search for the body will be kept
up until 1t is proven beyond any rea-
sonable doubt that further search
would be useless. The foreigners here
are trying to locate some OF the mans
relatives in this country. who are in
the west. so that in case the body is
found proper funeral arrangements can
be made.
Kamnieszki. with a number OF
friends. was taking a swim in the
river Yesterday afternoon at O'Clock.
when his friends say that he started
to swim across the river. When abou:
Is feet from shore he called out that
1t was too much. The men thought he
meant the swim was too long, and one
of their number started to swim TO
his assistance. When he reached the
man Kamnieszki told him to keep
away. as he was all right. A moment
later he sank from sight and did not
come up again.

digestive disorder, but there are times
when insufficient nourishment makes
tie child restless, as, for instance, a
recent letter from a mother showed
four feelings a day between and )
O'Clock, and none from to 5 in the
evening. She wondered why her child
grew restless at 10 O'Clock and did not
sleep we'll throughout the remainder
of the night. II was quite natural that
the child should be restless. as it
needed food.
Sleep With Few Interruptions.
II. however, the nourishment OF the
infant has been properly attended to
so far rs quantity is concerned. then
slceplessncss or reStlessncss during
sleep indicates some digestive dtSor-
der which must be remedied at once.
A baby's sleep during the first few
days OF life should be almost cont;u-
uous, ii only waking intervals being
for nursing and bathing.
For the first month it should sleep
% hours out OF the "a. After this
his periods OF waking will be Eradu-
ally heightened, until at six months
his days SAeep will be a two hours
nay in the morning and another about
the same length of time in the after
noon. At 6 p. IN. he should be put to
10 O'Clock his clothing should be ar
ranged and his night feeding given
with out disturbing him in the crib.
II he is quite we'll and has not been
spoiled he will fall asleep Immediately
after this and not awaken until or
z o'clock the next morning.
At about two years of age the child
should learn to sleep from p. m to 6
a. M. without feeding. This twelve
hours rest at night should be con-
tinued UP to six years OF age. After
the child is eighteen months old one
OF the day maps may be discontinued,
but he should be encouraged to take
ono nap day for as long a time as he
will up to four years or longer.
Never Administer Soothing syrups.
A baby must sleep alone from the
first; older children should have sepa-
rate beds; a young infant should be
turned from time to time, for IL he is
