ZEPPELIN RAID
 ON PARIS CITY
FOUR START BUT ONLY ONE GETS NEAR TO DROP
 BOMBS.

PARIS, March 22.-Four Zeppelin airships started out yesterday to raid this city. Only one of the ships sue ceeded in reaching it's object, the others probably having encountered adverse conditions. The one that ar rived threw several bombs but only a small amount of damage was infict- ed. The sinister visitor created lot of excitement but it was excitement of rather a pleasant kind for the citi- zens as a whole. The tremendous shock and noise of the exploding bombs frightened some of the wo- men and children but on the whole Paris rather likes the providing of such spectacles and fear of them has almost entirely departed.

FIXING FINAL
 DEAL FOR R. R.
ALL DOUBT VANISHES ABOUT LOCATION OF TERM
 NAL.

WASHINGTON, March 21-It is reported that Joseph Cotton, attorney for the Alaska engineering commis- sion, is considering the final negotia- tions for the purchase of the Alaska Northern railroad. The price is said to be one million one hundred thou sand dollars which is regarded as a compromise between the price asked by the Alaska Northern ownres and the price offered by the government. 1t is stated, however, that this inform ation is unofficial although it is be- lieved to have very good grounds. lt is also stated that the members of the engineering commission will leave Seattle in the middle of April and that they will conduct most Of the business connected with their work in that city. All doubt seems to have disappeared as to the purchase of the Alaska Northern ard nothing Is be- lieved to remain but the drawing up of the papers. It is stated by people who are interested that if the govern ment pays the full price of one million one hundred thousand it will have suf- ficient left to build from the end of the Alaska Northern to the Matan- uska coal fields without further ap- propriation. The attorney general IS now believed to be engaged in the work of ascertaining whether the ad- ministration can draw more money from the treasury without further direct action by congress. The fact that the bill was passed permitting the administration to expend thirty five millions is thought to be sufficient warrant for expenditures up to that amount, but this is a matter which will be carefully considered.

STILL FORGING
 GERMANS BACK
RUSSIANS AGAIN REPORT SUC- CESSES IN EASTERN
 LINE.

PETROGRAD, March 22.-The re- ports this morning confirm the report issued yesterday and show that the Germans are being slowly forced back on the East Prussian frontier instead of pressing forward as they had ex- pected to do towards Warsaw. The Russian army on the Niemen is con tinuing to advance and is retaking some of the ground lest when the Tenth army was forced to retreat from the Mazurian region. Vigor- ous. operations are also being conduct ed by tho Russians around Augustowa from which they were compelled to retire some days ago. There is said to be a very good chance that our troops will capture the place soon. The successes of our troops continue in the Carpathians where several Austrian positions have been captured. We are also preparing for a decisive struggle for the possession of Czerno- witz in Bukowina. Czernowitz is the last real stronghold of the Austrians in eastern Galicia.

 TO ENTER WAR
GERMANS AND AUSTRIANS ADVISED TO LEAVE
 ITALIAN SOIL.

LONDON, March 22.-The relations between Italy and Austria are now so strained that the former country will probably enter the war against the latter and her ally, Germany, within a few days. The Austrian and Ger man consuls in Italy have already ad- vised the subjects of their countries to leave Italian soil as soon as possible and they seem to have received in- structions from their governments directly to do so. Greece is also now ready to enter the struggle according to the official report issued here this morning. It has been fairly well known for some time that Greece has been preparing for the struggle. Her armies will march across her eastern border against Turkey and so draw away great Turkish forces that might otherwise be used against the allies. The only danger that could possibly , come from this fact might arise from 63e fear on the part of Bulgaria that Greece would advance too far and be- comGe too powerful by further acquis- tion of Turkish territhOry. In the promised entry of Italy and Greece into the struggle the people of this city see tAe beginning of the end, Italy will be( able to send in a huge force against Austria while Greece will direct heS power against the Turks and both Twill draw away so much of Austrian, and Turkish streng- tn that Russia's victory is practically assured.

FAMOUS CITY
 SURRENDERED
AFTER SIEGE OF MORE THAN HALF A YEAR DEFEND
 FRS QUIT.

PETROGRAD, March 22.-The city of Przemysl has fallen After one of the greatest sieges in history the now world famous fortress of Galicia sur rendered to the Russian army yeSter- day and the fact was announced of 6cally this morning and sent the whole population of Petrograd into transports of joy. The details of the surrender have not yet been publish ed. It has been known for some time that the Austrian garrison was re- duced to the extremes of physical sui fering. For more than seven months the AustrianS have been coOped up while the Russians practically sur rounded the place and prevented the sending of supplies. The fortress was regarded as the chief key to the whole situation and its fall is regarded as marking the beginning of the end of the Austrian campaign. During the past week or two the besiegers sue ceeded in taking several of the outer forts and drawing their encircling lines closer and closer while every at tempt of the Austrians to relieve the city was repulsed. Przemysl is situGt- ed on an afFluent of the Vistula and is only sixty-one miles west of Lem berg which was captured by the Rus sians at the very beginning of the war. It has a population of thirty-fve thou sand and has been fortified for nearly half a century.

PETROGRAD, March 22.-The first result of the fall of Przemysl is the release of one hundred and twenty thousand Russian soldiers who were engaged in the seige. These new troops will now be used in reaching Cracow and besieging that fortress when they succeed in driving back the Austrians and Germans and clear ing the way. The capture of Przemy' sl is most important as it gives our arimes in the south a strong base from which to direct their future movements. The number of Aus trains captured by the fall of the fort ress is not yet known but it IS be- lieved to be in the scores of thousands.

Its only consequences will be that it will re- lease an additional number of Rus sians for the campaign in the Car pathians and for the attack on Cra' COW if the Russians can ever reach the latter place.

GERMANYs EFFORTS TO
MAKE CITIZENS BEHAVE
Enormous Number Punished For
the Most Petty
Offenses.

In a recent volume by a distin-
guished German prison official, he
writes that. after a careful study OF
the figures from 1882 to 1910 he
has discovered that one person now
living in every IL in Germany has
been convicted of some offense.
DR.. Finklenburg shows that the
number of criminals" in Germany
is 1859, 1000, of whom 100000
are males and 100000 females
Every forty-third boy and two hsn-
dred and thirteen girls between the
ages of ~ and is has been punished
by fine or imprisonment.
This does not mean that the Ger
mans are criminal or disorderly
but, on the contrary, fit shows how
absurdly petty are the violations of
the law punished by Imprisonment.
Their whole history, from Charlie
magne down until the last 80 years,
is a series of going to pieces the
moment the strong hand of author
ity is taken away from them. The
German and especially the Prussian
policeman, has become the greatest
official busybody in the world.
No Germans house is a castle.
The policeman enters it at will and,
backed by the authorities. questions
the householder about his religion,
his children at school, the status of
the guests staying in his house, and
about many other matters besides.
If one of his children by reason of
ill health is taught at home the au-
-thorities demand the right to send
an inspector every six months to ex-
anime him or her, to be sure that
the child is properly taught.
The policeman is in attendance
on the platform at every public
meeting, armed with authority to
close the meeting if either speeches
or discussion seems to him unpa-
triotic, unlawful or strife-breeding

After four years of arduous SER

Northern Virginia has been compell-
ed to yield to overwhelming num-
bers and resources.
I need not tell the brave survivors
of so many hard-fought battles, who

no distrust of them. But feeling
that valor and devotion could &C
complish nothing that would COM

sacrifice of those whose past services
have endeared them to their coun-
trymen.
By the terms of agreement Off

You will take with you the salts

With an unceasing admiration OF
