PASADENA, CAL, Feb. 11.-Nathan
Straus, New FORK millionaire, who Is
spending the winter here. says he
stole melons when he was boy In
Georgia.
AN old dealer named Ceilings
WORTH said Straus, used to sell water
melons. He'd drive up to the school
and we'd all gather round and thuml
the melons. Finally we'd pick out the
best one. and some boy 'ud hand him
dime with rubber tied to 1t, and
it would slip out of Collingsworth S
fingers.
For little bit he'd look around
thinking it had dropped into the wag-
on. Then he'd say: All right, II
find it when I get home. Just take
the melon along"

DESPERATE FIGHT
 IN AREAS SECTOR
EACH SIDE DWELLS ON LOSSES OF THE OTHER, AND EACH EM-
 FLASHES ITS GAINS.
ALLIES ON THE OFFENSIVE
The Battle For Lemberq Is Raging Along the Fortified Grodek
 Line.

London. Although disagreeing as to results, the German official state ment and the French and British com munications indicate that the fighting in the Arras sector and at the north ern front is as desperate as any the western theater of war has developed. The area of hostilities is tiny as com pared with the sweep of the Galician front, where the Austro-Gcrmans are still driving forward, but the last few days have brought much Eand-to-hand fighting, the British and French stri1- ing to hold the trenches gained, and the Germans, with a prcponderanee of machine guns, as promptly initiat ing counter attack.
 Each side dwells on the losses of the other, and each emphasizes it's gains, all of which have been costly. although comparatively small as measured in distance. It is too early to say whether this means a serious FrancoBritish attempt to break through, but is 1t patent that they are on the offensive.
 In the east the Austro-Germaas forces are not only nearer across the frontier of Poland, but claim to have driven the Russians further across the frontier of Poland in the vicinity Of Tarnogrod, as we'll as penetrating fur ther into Bessarabia. The battle for Lemberg Is now raging along the fortified Grodek line. where it is predicted the Russians will give a final stubborn battle to save the capital.
 The British press, pending such time as the Russians stiffen their re- sistance, is finding solace in the re- ports of the collosal human sacrifices which the Austro- German drive through Galicia entailed. It is claim ed that the Russians. even if fore ,d to retreat, by clever management have drawn the Austro-G German forces periously far from their rail commu- nication, meantime so seriously sap ping their vitality. with estimated losses of 10000 men a day, as to con. tribute materially to the outcome of the western campaign.
